"This Prefecture Governor has really proved himself to be a lecher!" Wan Lu spat, somewhat perplexed, "How can such a man ascend to the position of Chang'an's Vice Prefect?"
Liu Qingsong replied with a sly grin that didn't reach his eyes, "The Wangs, the Xies, the Yuans, and the Xiaos, he comes from the Yuan family of Chen County. Although the Yuan family is not as powerful as it once was in the Tang Dynasty, a lean camel is still larger than a horse. Merely by virtue of his birth and lineage, there are thousands of scholars who can't catch up to him. Don't be fooled by his conduct, the official post in the Chang'an Government Office isn't something just anyone can occupy!"
