Chapter 15: Keys

At the first bell, Mo Chengyan stood at the long desk in the front room of the Discipline Hall.

He handed over its keys one at a time.

He did it by the letter, which took all morning.

"The front gate." He laid an iron key on the desk.

Yuan Qianhe, who had been named acting Chief Enforcer on the Elders' seal at dawn, picked it up and tapped it against his ruler.

The charge hung on a board above the desk, in a fresh hand.

Lodging across the courtyard from the person under his inquiry, and filing no report of it.

Mo had read it once, and signed for it, and not looked at it again.

"The records room."

A second key.

The ruler tapped.

"The cells. The prisoner, the Sword Saint's apprentice, has been released into the custody of his master under Article Six, and the cells are empty."

Mo laid down a third key.

"The register is signed. Please check the date."

"I will." Qianhe did not look up.

"The roof, the bell rope, and the strongbox."

Three keys, in a row, each set down a little apart from the last.

"The Hall's seal."

"Thank you. And the bell loft."

"The loft is a Hall room." Mo laid its key on the desk. "I hand you its key. I do not hand you its contents."

Yuan Qianhe's ruler stopped.

"The boxes."

"Twelve oak boxes, with iron corners. Six hundred copies of a printed sheet."
