He immediately woke up: "Quick, get the carriage ready!"
...
Ordinary households, without an Earth Mirror, nor a way to send messages via Yin Gods, relied solely on carriages and horses for all communication.
By the time Song Chengde, who was in Nanliu County, received the news and inquired about the situation of Marquis Yuan Rang before rushing to the county government to handle the aftermath, it was already the seventh day since the incident had occurred.
And Song Ji, the Sixth-Rank Inspection Department Director, had been beaten for a full six days.
Long Xiao, with nothing better to do, woke up each day just to take Mountain Cat and Zong Shichang to block Song Ji's path.
And he chose to attack specifically on Song Ji's way to work.
After the beating, Song Ji, bruised with a swollen face, still had to go to work.
Long Xiao also forbade Song Ji from taking any leave.
If he dared to ask for leave, the beating would be doubled.
