Chapter 89: The truth... is always disbelieved

"Lord Chen is truly a laughingstock!"

In Luling County, Gu Beiquan purposely took the opportunity of hosting a banquet for numerous officials to take out Chen Qing's flying letter and read it aloud. He led them in mockery, and as everyone was in high spirits from the wine, they all burst into boisterous laughter along with the county magistrate, making all kinds of sarcastically mocking remarks.

"Lord Chen is surely brimming with creativity—corpses drifting from the sea and eating people. Now, following downstream, they've reached the surrounding counties, tsk tsk..." Sitting next to Gu Beiquan, Lyu Yiqi also shook his head with a laugh, "With such talent, why bother with the civil examinations? If he were to write storybooks, they would certainly be bestsellers."

This remark immediately set off another round of uproarious laughter at the dining table!
