After much effort, it was finally known that County Magistrate Meng had left, and the county government's activities weren't limited to his subordinates – they even invited rich men and local gentry from the county to a meeting.
At that time, Tang Weiting felt that if indeed the Deputy County Magistrate were to take over, it was necessary for them to hold this meeting.
However, the official appointment had not yet arrived, and no one knew who the next parent official would be. Although the Deputy County Magistrate had shown his ambition and gained their support, they dared not make irresponsible remarks.
As wealthy elites, although they were ignorant of officialdom, it wasn't their place to comment on such matters.

The Tang Family was among the first to know who the next County Magistrate was, having received a letter from the Capital.
