He became more and more indignant as he spoke, "My brother-in-law is a hero in the fight against bandits, and he was personally appointed by the county magistrate to be in charge of the criminal affairs department. What right do these yamen runners have to talk about him!"
Wan Qiqi suddenly stopped.
Wu Gousheng hurriedly stopped, slipped on the snow, and fell hard on his backside.
He didn't have time to pay attention to the pain. He looked up at Wan Qiqi blankly, wondering if he had said something wrong.
Wan Qiqi looked down at Wu Gousheng, her expression full of helplessness. "Is this what I asked you to investigate? How is the case going?"
She even suspected that Wu Gousheng had been arguing with someone and had forgotten to inquire about the case.
Wu Gousheng got up from the snow, patted his buttocks twice, and frowned in pain.
But he ignored it and answered Wan Qiqi's question seriously, "It seems we found a clue, but because he can't read, someone switched the clue, which angered the Imperial Censor, who said he would punish him...

Hearing Wu Gousheng's shout, Fang Luxue poked her head out from the second floor and asked curiously, "What did you say? Master Wan is here?"

Fang Luxue frowned slightly. "Did you say so?"
"I didn't even have a chance to say anything before Sister Qi ran away!" Wu Gousheng said, feeling a little aggrieved.
Normally Wan Qiqi is the most calm and composed person, so why did she run away before even hearing the censor finish speaking when she heard that he wanted to punish someone?
Fang Luxue rolled her eyes. "Then why don't you go after her and explain? There's snow on the ground. You know it hurts when you fall, but what if she falls?"
Wu Gousheng then remembered and abruptly turned around and walked out.
Because he was hurt from the fall, he ran with a limp, like a hunchback.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! I hope I don't break any bones, or I'll be stuck in bed forever..."
