That night, no one in the Li Mansion went to send food to Li Wencai.
Later it was heard that Li Wencai, left waiting for those who didn't come to deliver food, complained loudly in the house, hoping to call someone to ask what was going on. Why didn't he have an appetite in the previous days, and yet food was delivered punctually every day?
But today, no food was delivered at all!
Unfortunately, the servants were so frightened by Lu Qing's earlier sword strike that they didn't dare to go near him, not even stepping close to the courtyard.
Li Wencai shouted for a long time, tiring himself out without attracting a single person, and eventually had to give up, his voice hoarse.
This continued until noon on the third day, when Fu Lu rushed back, dusty and tired, bringing with him governmental officials borrowed from Runzhou.
