Even so, Zheng Yiyan still looked at Zheng Xiong.
"Zheng Xiong, there is something wrong with what Wan Ling said."
Facing Zheng Yiyan's questions, Zheng Xiong didn't bother to deny that he was only in the stage of talking and talking, and it wouldn't be enough to kill him.
"My lord, there is no big difference between what Wan Ling said that day. I was outspoken and that's why this matter happened. However, I am the one who makes the decision. I can accept any punishment."
Attitude determines everything, and you must not be aggressive when encountering problems, otherwise a small matter may develop in an unexpected direction.
The onlookers felt better when they saw Zheng Xiong's attitude. Being upright and frank is what a gentleman should do. If he denies it, he will really be looked down upon.
Among the crowd, the head of the Wan family had already arrived. Early in the morning, he asked someone to wake up his daughter, but no one was found. Knowing that something was wrong, he still had a glimmer of hope and searched his house inside and outside.
Until no one was found, the family discussed it and guessed that they either went to Zheng Xiong to ask for an explanation or to file a complaint. His best friends also went to ask, and after the investigation was completed, they arrived at the government office.
The hope of people suing the officials is still very slim. The head of the Wan family also wants to give his daughter some relief. No matter what happens, she can learn a lesson this time and become more mature in the future.
So he didn't stand up for a long time. Seeing that the attitudes of Zheng Yiyan and the onlookers were unconsciously biased towards Zheng Xiong, he also knew that this tone would never come out. It is best to make big things trivial, and trivial things are best. People and officials have never been equivalent.
Head Wan of the Wan family squeezed through the crowd, stepped forward, and said to Zheng Yiyan.
"My little girl is ignorant, please forgive me. This matter is all a misunderstanding. Mr. Zheng did not do anything excessive. It is all due to the common people who spoiled my little girl since she was a child. The quarrel turned out to be in the court, which delayed your Majesty." It’s really a crime, we have withdrawn this complaint.”
The head of the Wan family has been involved in society for so many years, and he understands that since he can't offend the other party to death, he can't offend him to death.
"You are the father of all spirits. You can withdraw the complaint, but it depends on the will of the mistress. If she wants to, withdraw the complaint. It is not a big deal in the first place. If you are punished for talking nonsense, then it is over. If If there is any trouble, no matter who he is, I will handle it impartially."
Zheng Yiyan saw that the other party gave him a step, so he followed it down. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with it. It's okay to be partial, and he also needs to maintain his image a little.
"Yes, sir, the common people will ask the little girl to withdraw the complaint immediately."
After saying that, he took Wan Ling to the corner.
"Daughter, please withdraw the complaint. You won't win if you sue. Look at who here takes this seriously. Don't hold back."
"Dad, I just can't swallow this breath. If I can't win here, I will sue you. I don't believe there is no reason."
It has to be said that people who have lost their minds, regardless of gender, cannot listen to any opinions or reasons at all.
Seeing that his daughter didn't listen to the advice, Wan's leader became cruel and slapped her. Wan Ling covered her face and looked at her father in disbelief. Her father, who had never spanked her since she was a child, slapped her, which completely broke her heart. She could only cover her face and cry.
Although he felt distressed, he still forced himself to walk in front of Zheng Yiyan.
"Sir, I have made the final decision on my little girl's affairs. The common people will withdraw now."
"Okay, I won't say anything more. Zheng Xiong said this without thinking. Zheng Xiong, just go and apologize."
When Zheng Xiong heard this, he quickly walked to Wan Ling and solved the problem quickly. The longer it was delayed, the more face he lost.
"What happened that day was because I was wrong. I spoke uncontrollably and hurt others with my words. I hope you can forgive me."
Wan Ling didn't hear what Zheng Xiong said at all. She was immersed in her own world and felt that the whole world had abandoned her.
Seeing Zheng Xiong apologize, although Wan Ling didn't reply, Zheng Yiyan still waved his hand.
"This case is over, withdraw from court."
Near noon, Zheng Yiyan stopped reviewing the case and called Zheng Xiong back to the back office.
The head of the Wan family brought Wan Ling back home. The crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed and spread the news, bringing a small hot spot to the city of Nanjing. However, it did not cause much trouble. The first imperial examination since the founding of the Ming Dynasty was even more exciting. Talk about it with relish.
Sitting in the back office sipping tea, Zheng Yiyan spoke slowly.
"Xiao Zheng, I am leaning towards you this time. I have helped you. How can you thank me?"
In the position of governor, it is impossible to blatantly ask for bribes. Zheng Xiong knows this. The only thing Zheng Yiyan can worry about in his Huimin Pharmacy is money.
"Your Majesty, I should repay your kindness. However, the other three parties of Huimin Pharmacy are currently under construction and they don't have the money. The rest can only be done according to the orders, so I will do whatever I can."
Facing the slippery Zheng Xiong, Zheng Yiyan had no choice. Without money, there would be nothing to talk about. Alcohol is hot to the touch. In this era, people may not always have enough to eat. To make a lot of money by making wine and selling it is courting death, that is. Huimin Pharmacy occupies the name of treating diseases and disinfecting, otherwise it would be gone long ago, so he doesn't dare to get involved. In addition, Zheng Yiyan doesn't like other industries. They are all about money, and he doesn't know what the use is.
What do you do if you don't have money? Serving tea to guests, not even having lunch at noon, it's just such a reality.
After walking out of the government office, he called the subordinate officials who had previously delivered the news to him, as well as the friends he had made in the temporary office, and walked towards the restaurant not far away. Humanity is so sophisticated, that's all.
After eating and drinking, he said goodbye to everyone and left.
When I returned to Huimin Pharmacy, my whole body felt relaxed. It felt like home. The bad things happened one after another in the past two days. The blind date did not go well. The experience this morning was not pleasant.
Working from 9 to 5, you don’t have to clock in to go to work. As long as you do your own thing well, it is the most ideal life state to live up to your journey.
