"Heh heh, esteemed officials need not act like this; we serve in the same court, and I still rank lower than several of you here, so I really cannot bear such treatment."
Zhao Duan's smile was splendid as he first pacified the crowd and then indicated that he would not blame them, which allowed the group of civil officials to relax slightly.
"Doctor Feng," Zhao Duan sat at the head seat, picking up a blue-and-white tea bowl, took a sip, and then said indifferently,
"There are a few things I need you to do next."
"You say!"
"First, immediately arrest rebels throughout the city, paying special attention to places like clinics. If there are any injured suspects, do not alarm them; report it immediately."
"Second, summon the royal merchants to Zhuozheng Garden. I will personally meet them to reassure them."
