It took me about two quarters of an hour before someone brought Niu Jinxing into the side hall. I sat on the dragon chair with a plate of snacks in front of me. They were all leftovers from the imperial kitchen yesterday. They were so hard they could be used as bricks.
When Niu Jinxing came in, I almost didn't recognize him. This man was wearing a satin robe with a jade pendant hanging on his waist. He didn't look like a rebel, but more like a member of the government. As soon as they met, they bowed their hands in a respectful manner, but their eyes kept turning, as if they were weighing how much they were worth.
