Wen Zhifu said: "To be honest, I want to thank you for what happened today!"
The old man was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Magistrate Wen said, "The Gao family relies on my connections. Gao Yuan's father has made a lot of money in Songshan County. Many gentry and wealthy people have given him gifts to curry favor with him. He has become more and more flamboyant in recent years.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "There are two people I know, but I don't know their identities."
