Chapter 106: Consequences
Qin Zhenzhen refrained from addressing her uncle’s concerns directly.
Throughout history, officials protected one another, and her uncle needed to show respect for the County Magistrate.
If anything were to happen to the County Magistrate, he would be the first to face repercussions.
Yang Gan persisted in his questioning. "If Honglian is acting under someone’s orders, do you have any suspects in mind?"
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head.
"Uncle, do you intend to inform the County Magistrate about this?"
Yang Gan smiled. "You’re too naive. Do you think the County Magistrate is unaware of the truth?"
"The County Magistrate is highly observant. He knows that both you and Su Bin are lying. He’s also aware that Honglian acted upon orders."
