"Lord Chen!"
Early in the morning, Chen Ping'an stepped through the gates of the Weishui Garrison amidst a chorus of respectful greetings.
He was here today to pick up an official document stamped with the great seal. After entering the Garrison Commandant's Office, he headed toward the Dispatching Bureau.
"Good morning, Lord Chen."
Inside the Dispatching Bureau, many officials were already at their posts. They greeted Chen Ping'an repeatedly upon seeing him arrive.
Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, walking toward the inner office.
The Bureau Chief of the Dispatching Bureau, Zhao Lianzhi, was seated in a large chair, examining a document in one hand and sipping from a teapot in the other.
"Lord Zhao." Chen Ping'an knocked on the door.
Seeing Chen Ping'an enter, Zhao Lianzhi immediately put down his teapot and document, inviting him in with a broad smile.
"Ah, Lord Chen, you've arrived. Come, come, please have a seat."
