“You are his nephew, so you will be in charge of paying respects from now on!” Wan Qiqi folded the letter in her hand and put it in her bosom.
She stood up, looked at Erpang, and said, "Death is a relief for him; you should be happy for him."
Erpang knew, but he couldn't be happy.
Wan Qiqi couldn't be happy either.
She even had a premonition that this matter would not end with Zhao Yi's death.
Thinking of this, Wan Qiqi decided to go to the yamen (government office) to see the situation for herself.
She was stopped as soon as she reached the door.
The official bowed to Wan Qiqi and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, but there are some special circumstances today, so we can't let you in."

She didn't refute what the two officers said, but just smiled and responded.
After waiting for a long time, the officer spoke again.
"Sister-in-law, I think you shouldn't wait any longer. That Lord Zhang from the capital is going through old files, so Brother Nian might be a little late!"
"Yes, this Lord Zhang is investigating all this as soon as he arrives. I wonder what he's up to!"
The two officers' words had actually given Wan Qiqi some of the answers she wanted.
