Doji-san nodded as you finished speaking. "Of course, I had heard what happened to your predecessor. We had worked together once or twice, though not closely. To have one Imperial Magistrate murdered is a tragedy, but should anything then happen to a group of them, I have no doubt the Emerald Champion himself would decend on the city, with the full weight of the Imperial Legions behind him. Forgive me, but I cannot see the Governer wishing such a thing. Even if she were not guilty of the act, she would have to commit seppuku for the shame of allowing it to happen."<br/><br/>He gave his head a shake. "No, I cannot believe that the Governer is behind this. Above all else it seems she wishes to ensure that the city works, and should anything happen to you, especially something so drastic, well ..." he broke off with a shrug, and then took a sip from his tea.
