The station's errand runners came bustling over again, demanding they compensate for the station's losses.
Sun Yisheng, despite holding an official position in the Western Capital, had only a minor rank as the ambassador to the Guanghui Warehouse under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, being a small Ninth Grade official with little authority. Even if he had any, the station was a local establishment, subordinated to the local county, under the management of county government, beyond the reach of the Western Capital's officials, thus any damages incurred had to be compensated in money.
Sun Yisheng didn't have much money on him. His trip back to Xinxiang wasn't entirely to pick up Chen Shi for the journey to the capital; it was primarily to celebrate the New Year back home, and escorting Chen Shi was merely a convenient arrangement, which was why Chen Tang hadn't given him much money.
