Mr. Zhao reacted: "It should be, it should be." He saluted Wang Zefang and said: "My lord, forgive me, it is the common people who have wronged you indiscriminately.
Your Excellency is a good official, but the common people have misunderstood you, so please forgive me."
Wang Zefang said: "Master Zhao also loves his son very much, and I understand.
Although the murderer was not my officer, he was my cousin. Speaking of which, I was shouldering the responsibility.
I heard that Mr. Zhao only has a son like Mr. Zhao. If Mr. Zhao doesn’t dislike it, I am willing to serve you as a filial piety in the future, and I will not leave you alone without anyone to take care of you."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao burst into tears. He knelt on the ground with a plop and burst into tears: "Thank you, sir."
Wang Zefang hurriedly helped him up and said, "Mr. Zhao, let's deal with Mr. Zhao's death first."
Master Zhao nodded, and then asked his servants to take away Zhao Yaozu's body and place it there.
Everyone in Piaoxiang Tower also dispersed. Wang Zefang breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Xiao Chengyi: "Brother Xiao, thank you very much."
Xiao Chengyi snorted: "We came to your house as guests, not to deal with trouble for you."
Mu Yun'an stretched out his hand and tugged on Xiao Chengyi's sleeve. He was obviously very angry when he got the news and heard that Wang Zefang was wrongly accused.
Afraid that Wang Zefang wouldn't be able to deal with it, he came to help him clear his grievances uninvited, but the words he said were so unpleasant.
Mu Yun'an said to Wang Zefang: "Brother Yi knows that you are being bullied, so he brought me to support you."
Wang Zefang naturally knew that Xiao Chengyi was such a person, even though he said he disliked him, he never hesitated to protect him.
He smiled and said, "Didn't I take advantage of my cousin? Otherwise Brother Xiao wouldn't care about me."
Xiao Chengyi said: "It's good to know. From now on, keep your eyes open and don't just put anyone in the house to cause trouble for yourself."
He helped Mu Yun'an stand up and said, "Let's go back."
Wang Zefang bowed his hands towards Feng Changling and Ye Xiuchen and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Feng and Brother Ye."
He called Feng Changling to help him with the autopsy, and it was Ye Xiuchen who delivered the letter to Xiao Chengyi.
Although he was not familiar with them, it can be said that they tried their best because of Xiao Chengyi.
Ye Xiuchen smiled and said, "It's too rude to say thank you to my brothers. Just have a few more drinks with us tonight."
"good."
Wang Zefang responded happily, and they left Piaoxiang Building, but before leaving, he said to Mother He: "The money I owe you is far from yours. You can go to my house to get it some other time."
Mother He waved her hand and said: "The money I owe has nothing to do with Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang is a good official. It is our blessing to have you in Changzhou City."
Wang Zefang said: "Qingqingyuan cheats on me a lot in my name. You are also trying to make a living, so naturally I can't let you suffer any losses. Don't worry, I will have someone send you the money."
After leaving these words, he left Piaoxiang Tower.
Xiao Chengyi walked slowly. He also heard the conversation between Wang Zefang and He's mother just now. When he saw someone following him, he smiled and teased: "Do you have the money to pay it back?"
Wang Zefang: "..."
He is a ninth-grade official, and his salary is pitiful, all due to his not-so-rich family.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Brother Xiao, can you give me a salary increase?"
