Liu Qi arrived at the Capital Prefecture early, as had become the norm these past few days.
Although Shang Jingchuan didn't assign him any work, Liu Qi didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Even if it meant just sitting idly in the office, Liu Qi made sure to be present every day, sweeping away his previous attitude of perfunctory excuses.
As for why his attitude had done a complete 180, the government officials and constables at the Capital Prefecture naturally understood, but no one spoke about it.
At this moment, Liu Qi still felt extremely uneasy.
Previously, he didn't even give Shang Jingchuan a second thought, considering him nothing more than a bookish fool lost in his studies.
Plus, with the backing of Prince Qi, Yan Sifu, he cared even less about Shang Jingchuan.
But to his utter surprise, events changed so quickly.
Almost overnight, the situation took a dramatic turn.
