Chang Yan and Xu Mo remained indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
"Xiao Wu, do you think Magistrate Xiyang believes that Pang Dashan is related to Magistrate Pang?" Xu Mo pondered for a long time, but still couldn't help but ask.
After a moment of silence, Chang Yan said, "Whether he believes it or not is not important. As long as he is wary, that's enough."
