He acted like he was explaining something to Wan Qiqi, as if he were some kind of expert.

Feng Gan believed that Wan Qiqi was shrewd in business matters, but she certainly didn't know as much about court officials as he did, after all, he had a brother-in-law who worked in Liangzhou!

"Then how many honest officials do you think there are in Yunhe County?" Wan Qiqi immediately asked, seemingly unaware that Feng Gan had called her stupid.

Feng Gan also noticed this, and was secretly pleased that Wan Qiqi hadn't reacted when he scolded her. He then replied seriously, "That's hard to say. As for Fang Ziming, he's definitely not innocent. Having served as the magistrate of Yunhe County for so many years, he must have received some favors and made some mistakes."

At this point, Feng Gan suddenly added, "Take Tang Qiwen for example! I don't believe Fang Ziming really didn't know what Tang Qiwen had done. After all, to collect money locally, you have to maintain good relations with the government. Think about it, even Headman Tao didn't care about this..."

Feng Gan's words reminded Wan Qiqi of Tang Qiwen's previous actions.

It seems that everyone in Hefeng Town tacitly approves of Tang Qiwen collecting money everywhere, and even the government officials turn a blind eye to the matter.

If Fang Ziming hadn't tacitly approved it, who would have allowed this to happen?

The previous Magistrate Yu wanted to bring down Fang Ziming, so he must have found out something and didn't want to be interrupted, which is why Fang Ziming escaped unscathed.

Wan Qiqi even suspected that the officials above were more or less aware that the mutual protection among officials and the mutual benefit among them were what made the apparent harmony between them appear harmonious.

Feng Gan kept talking nonstop, and then said, "As for Xie Xing, it's hard to say. He's cunning and only cares about the results, not the process. He's not exactly innocent."

"As for Pang Zhao, he's just a brute, all brawn and no brains. He looks stupid, probably the dumbest of the three court officials! But who knows, he might be acting..."
