At dawn, when the first light of day appeared, Xiangrong County's city was still quiet. On this cold morning, unless for livelihood, no one was willing to get up early.
At the entrance of the government office's main prison, two government officials were huddling their necks, shivering while cursing the damnable weather. Suddenly, one of them seemed to have heard something and listened carefully, after a moment he said, "It sounds like footsteps!"
The other older official said, "It's this time; who besides us unfortunate souls would be out?"
"There really is! It seems like it's rushing towards us!"
Before he finished speaking, a group of black-clad men appeared at the street corner, swiftly heading towards the prison, everyone covered their faces with black cloths. The officials' expressions turned to panic, just as they wanted to sound the alarm, two crossbow arrows flew directly piercing their chests!
