The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Li Yan Qing and his party arrived in Tangyin County, welcomed by County Chief Zhou Chun and a group of yamen runners. After a long, exhausting journey, the officials decided to rest at the post station instead of heading to a welcome dinner. Li Yan Qing expressed his intention to visit his mother's grave in his hometown. Zhou Chun informed him about the declining grain yields in Tangyin County, attributing it to Li Yan Qing's father's decision to convert farmland into flower fields. Understanding the implications, Li Yan Qing promised to discuss the issue with his father to reduce the flower fields and prevent further agricultural decline.

He visited his mother's grave, paid his respects, and interacted with Uncle Zhong, who informed him about Wang Gui's recent return to the village.

Li Yan Qing revealed he had official business to discuss with Wang Gui, hinting at the importance of their meeting.
