The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Li Yan Qing rushes to Baoyan Zhai after hearing that the Kaifeng government is inspecting the premises for alleged violations, including converting a shop into a residence without approval. His father, Li Da Qi, defends their operations, asserting they pay taxes and comply with regulations. However, the government officials, led by Deputy Magistrate Du Jin Sheng, claim that unauthorized construction of a dock poses a violation of new regulations. Li Yan Qing intervenes, successfully arguing that the courtyards are not residences and that the dock's construction must be dismantled and fined. After resolving the immediate issues, Du Jin Sheng hints at underlying political motivations behind the investigation, suggesting that it is targeted at Li Yan Qing rather than Baoyan Zhai. Li Yan Qing responds with veiled threats regarding the emperor's plaque bestowed upon Baoyan Zhai, asserting his influence and warning the officials to tread carefully. The officials leave, having been outmaneuvered by Li Yan Qing.
