In his office at the Five Peaks Mountain Town Pacification Bureau, Chen Ping'an saw a letter sent from the Weishui Garrison.
The envelope was sealed with security wax and an official stamp, indicating its high level of importance.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ping'an tore open the letter and began to read.
The letter was from Liu Yuanhua. It dispensed with pleasantries and got straight to the point, mentioning the Qiankun Bureau's move to impeach him. The Qiankun Bureau had supervisory authority over the Garrison Commandant's Office, and the one filing for impeachment this time was a special envoy from the State Qiankun Bureau. By all accounts, there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
As a matter of procedure, the Weishui Garrison would have to re-evaluate his position as Outer Trade Road Patrol Envoy, and they hoped Chen Ping'an would understand.
Furthermore, Liu Yuanhua's tone was largely comforting as he analyzed the pros and cons of the situation.
