Chapter 737: A Witness!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The officers here always looked down on others, but after hearing Ah Zhong’s words, they understood that Ah Zhong was not a servant of an ordinary family.

He knew the Dean of the academy, and he was here to look for the younger brother of the County Magistrate. Naturally, they did not dare to make things difficult for Ah Zhong. One of the officers quickly went to report the situation.

Another officer smiled and told Ah Zhong to wait.

“Thank you.” Ah Zhong cupped his hands politely.

Soon, the officer who had gone to report returned and smiled. “Please, come in.”

There was also a servant following the officer back.

This servant had been Wei Zizhan’s servant a few years ago. Wei Zizhan used to study at Shengming Academy, so he naturally knew that Ah Zhong was obviously a servant of Principal Zhang’s family.

Mister Zhang had many students all over the world, and many of his schoolmates and friends had become high officials. Not to mention this servant, even Wei Zizhan’s brother, the County Magistrate of Heshi County, did not dare to disobey this person.

This servant was naturally extremely polite to Ah Zhong. He hurriedly smiled and said, “Please, this way.”

“Thank you for leading the way.” Ah Zhong politely cupped his hands to express his gratitude. Then, he followed the servant to the residence behind the county government.

There was a small courtyard in the house. Wei Zizhan also had a small courtyard that belonged to him. However, it was the smallest one in the family — it only had two or three small rooms.

Wei Zizhan was suddenly informed that someone had come from his hometown, and it was a servant of Principal Zhang’s family. He was not sure why the person was here, but it would be bad if he didn’t invite that person in, so he asked his servant to bring the person in.

It was only when Ah Zhong entered that Wei Zizhan cupped his hands and greeted him, asking, “Is Mister Zhang looking for me?”

Ah Zhong cupped his hands in return and said, “Yes.” After a pause, he saw that the servant was still there and said, “I was hoping we could discuss this matter in a more private setting.”

Wei Zizhan was even more confused, and he naturally felt even more uncertain, but he still let his servant leave, leaving only him and Ah Zhong in the room.

Ah Zhong cupped his hands again and said, “Since it’s just the two of us, I’ll be frank. I’m here to take back Xue Yan’s jade pendant from you.”

Wei Zizhan was startled, completely not expecting that someone would know that he stole Xue Yan’s jade pendant.

Thinking about how Ah Zhong had asked him to dismiss his subordinates just now, it was obvious that he wanted to resolve this matter properly and respectfully. His face immediately turned red and burned.

“Why are you taking back the jade pendant from me? I don’t have the jade pendant you’re talking about! Nonsense!” Wei Zizhan refused to admit it. At that time, no one clearly saw it. It was impossible for anyone to know that he took Xue Yan’s jade pendant.

Ah Zhong sighed. “Sir, it’s already come to this. Why do you have to embarrass yourself? Someone from the academy saw you take Xue Yan’s jade pendant. If it wasn’t for that person who saw it, your teacher wouldn’t have sent me to ask you for the jade pendant.”

Has anyone really seen it?

Wei Zizhan’s face flushed even redder. It was very embarrassing. However, he still refused to admit it. “I didn’t take it! Someone is slandering me!”

“Does that mean you refuse to return it?” Ah Zhong asked.

“I don’t even have that jade pendant, how can I return it?!”

“I’ll have to go to the County Magistrate to settle this issue. He is good friends with Mister Zhang. Farewell..” Ah Zhong cupped his hands and was about to leave when..
