Minister Zhōu was far from satisfied with Minister Cao's response. He cursed the "old fox" inwardly, but his face remained wreathed in smiles. "What Minister Cao says is true. However, this time only one disaster relief official is from your Ministry of Works, while the Ministry of Justice has two. How does Minister Cao view this arrangement?"
