“Tell me in detail.”
Nanzhi explained the whole story, and the county magistrate above became agitated.
"You are, Nanzhi?"
Nan Zhi was puzzled, but still answered, "Reporting to the magistrate, this woman is indeed the one in question."
So this is the Lin family's benefactor.
With a thud, Lin Chengyi shouted, "Quickly go to Taile Village and bring the criminal Nan Wenqing here!"
