Snow in Midsummer 455-456 [12-21-2011]

Today I read pages 455 - 456 of Snow in Midsummer. Act 4 begins with Dou, Dou E's father. His is now a counsellor for state affairs in the Imperial Secretariat. He has the sword of authority and golden tally which give him the power to punish corrupt officials without first reporting to the throne. As Dou was going through some cases he had ran across Dou E's case but since it was already dealt with he puts it at the bottom of his pile and falls asleep on his desk.
