Right now, it feels like everyone is looking at me. I guess that if someone needs to return back to the capital to tell the governor about what happened, I am the most ideal candidate since the governor is my father.

"Liu Kang, do you want to return to the capital?" Zhao Keng asks Liu Kang who is sitting next to me. They were not looking at me but Liu Kang! I guess I am not as big as a burden I thought I was?

"I…" Liu Kang mutters softly but before he could finish talking, Uncle Cui interrupted him and said, "We've all noticed that you haven't been able to focus since the events at the mountains."

"Honestly, Shang Shi is the ideal person to return and inform the governor but if our numbers are reduced by two, it might get dangerous in the later part of our riding circuit, therefore you are the best person to make the trip right now."

Liu Kang looks sad right now and his frown is trembling, almost as if he is going to cry. He is probably disappointed with himself since joining the riding circuit was his big break and yet he has to return when we're not even at the halfway point.

"You're just going back to tell father about what happened. My father will probably let you rejoin us so you can still complete the riding circuit with us!" I tell Liu Kang some comforting words.

I take out my money pouch and empty it on the table and pass it to Liu Kang. The pouch is delicately made and the words "Shang Shi" are sewed on it.

"This pouch is something my mother made for me, pass it to my father and he will trust you. Ah, I have to go shopping for another money pouch later!" I made a lousy joke to lighten the atmosphere. Everyone somehow understands my joke and laughs with me.

"Thank you, Judge Shi…" Liu Kang thanks me and gives me a big hug.

We have decided that Liu Kang will leave tomorrow and that we will borrow a fast horse from the magistrate so that he can return as soon as possible. We also thought up a new route for him to use so that he will not go near the areas where the army is patrolling. His journey back will be extended but it is much safer.

After we have all eaten, we return to our room and get dressed in our official robes. One of the ways in which the judges announce their arrival to the townsfolk is to stroll around the town in their official uniform.

While the magistrate office will be putting up posters to inform the townsfolk that we have arrived, there are still a lot of people who are illiterate so the travelling judges and their retinue will stroll around the city to make our presence known.

I read in a book that the first minister of justice said justice should be open to all people, regardless of their status or wealth. This statement was made shortly after hearing the first emperor's words that all the people under the sky are his subjects and that while the country protects the people, there would be no country if there were no people.

While walking around in our official uniform which was gaudy and attention grabbing, two men came up to us and with a slight bow, started shouting "My lords! Please address our case and give our brother justice!"
