If Wei An committed murder unlawfully, he would naturally handle the matter according to the law and make him pay for it with his life. However, if the fault lay with the envoy from Xiao Liang, he would not kill Wei An just to please the envoy.
The old man, sobbing, recounted what had happened. Basically, they went to a teahouse to listen to storytelling, and because they hadn't ordered tea, the arrogant teahouse waiter berated them without any explanation. Then, they heard that Wei An was a great philanthropist and wanted to befriend him, but when they found him, he cursed at them, clearly just like the teahouse waiter—a contemptible person, not a philanthropist at all!

However, the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty were all afraid of the power of the Wei family and refused to uphold justice for them!

However, the waiter also used some very offensive language, calling them country bumpkins and stinking beggars, and telling them to go find that young master Wei if they wanted to eat and drink for free! Their teahouse wasn't some run-down zoo where any Tom, Dick, or Harry could just walk in!
