With the fall of the gavel, Fang Ziming's case came to an end.
Not long after, the officers and soldiers posted the results of the case investigation and informed the people of Yunhe County.
Upon seeing the notice, the people began to discuss it animatedly.
"How could this happen? How could Lord Fang die like this?"
"Even if Lord Fang is at fault, his crime does not warrant death!"
"I don't believe it! How could Lord Fang possibly commit suicide to confess? Someone must be behind this!"
"The government has already made a decision; it's a done deal!"
"Is there any possibility of overturning the verdict? I always feel there's something wrong with the case!"
"So what if there's a problem? How can we ordinary people interfere in government affairs?"
"Ah, that's true! I just hope the new magistrate will be like Lord Fang!"

The little beggar's words made Wan Qiqi's heart tremble.
"Closed? Just like that?" Wan Qiqi didn't believe it.
How could Chen Yongnian, who was in the county government, just let the case close like that?
Wan Qiqi didn't have time to wait for the Xiao family to come out and hurriedly headed towards the Fang residence.
She wanted to know what had happened in the county government office!
