Leading the way in front of Lu Qing was the governmental official who previously escorted Li Wencai home along with Fu Lu. Fu Lu did not let him leave thereafter, and he had been staying at Li Wencai's home for several days.

Zhu Yu noticed that throughout the journey, the mansion was eerily quiet; if not for a few servants doing some cleaning, it would have seemed like nobody lived there.
Even those servants, upon seeing a governmental official leading Lu Qing and Zhu Yu from afar, hurriedly clutched their brooms and dodged to the side in fright.
