As we approach the city gates, the guards were wearing a soldier's uniform and they had set up blockades around the gates.

"Halt! The city is on lockdown right now and you may enter, but once you do, you will have to obey the orders of the military and cannot leave until we have accomplished our duties!" one of the soldiers shouts out.

"It seems like the information we heard in Chu Hou town was right." Judge Tang said.

"The governor might not allow us to complete the riding circuit if we enter the city. We only have to investigate the forest and three or four more places to visit." Judge Cui says as he ponders the options we have.

"Is Governor Shang in the city?" I ask the guard.

"Governor Shang? The governor is in the city. State your identity and purpose!" the guard answers my questions and gives an order. The other guards enter a combat state as it seems they are now suspicious of us.

"I am his son, Judge Shang Shi and we are on our riding circuit," I reply to the guard but they do not ease up on their alertness. I feel like they are staring at me and the second that I make any sudden movements, they would jump towards me and stab me with their spears.

"The Governor's son? You are travelling judges? If I find out you're lying, we'll chop your head off!" the guard says as he tells another guard to go look for the Governor's steward.

"Let's go meet my father. I'm sure my father will allow us to leave the city if he intends for us to continue on our riding circuit." I tell Judge Cui and Tang.

They give me a smile since there is really nothing to discuss as the guard has already gone ahead to check with the governor's steward. Maybe I was missing my father a little more than I expected.

A few minutes later, we can see Mo Ji walking towards us and the guards greet him as he walks towards us.

"It is nice to see everyone again!" Mo Ji exclaims.

"Shi er, your father is busy and he will only be able to give instructions later. Are you all done with riding circuit?" Mo Ji asks.

"Steward Mo, we were supposed to investigate the forest but we heard that the governor was here, so we decided to come here instead. We only have Lin Yu city, He Jin City, and Wan Rong village left on our riding circuit." Judge Cui respectfully answers

"Ah!" Mo Ji makes an exclamation because he knows that they have basically made the people in those places that were mentioned frightened after they executed tons of people. It is clear that no sane person would want to even think of the governor and his people anymore after they ordered the execution of so many families.

"Umm, Steward Mo, Do we enter the city or not? The guard says that if we enter, we will be unable to leave the city and continue on our riding circuit." Judge Tang asks curiously.

"Hmmm…" after thinking for a few minutes, Steward Mo says, "I think there is no point continuing your riding circuit anymore. The last two cities have been placed on lockdown by us and General Ling has taken care of Wan Rong village. As for your investigation into the forest, we will wait for Governor Shang to decide. You should enter the city and this would probably be your final stop." Steward Mo says.
