Because he made a trip to Pingshun City, by the time Shen Hao returned to Fengri City, it was already night.
Hu Tian got up to open the door for Shen Hao and said several waves of people had come by today—some from the Local Government Office, some from the Thousand Households Station—all looking for Shen Hao. But no one came by again during the night.
Shen Hao snickered inwardly. He didn't need to guess why those people had come; was it not to get people out? Since no one came at night, it seemed when they couldn't find him, they'd turned to Wu Changhe instead—the people should have already been released by now.
The night passed uneventfully. The next day, when Shen Hao reported for duty, he'd barely entered the gates of the Thousand Households Station when he was summoned to Wu Changhe's Public Office.
When he saw Wu Changhe, the Thousand Households Officer was so furious his eyes were bloodshot.
"Shen Hao! Where did you get the gall to behave so recklessly? Bang!"
