Bai Zhi’er listened, puffing up her cheeks angrily.
"It’s really contradictory! The records in the governnt office say there was a reconciliation, but other witnesses claim they didn’t see him hit anyone."
The little one crossed her arms: "The Wei Family really wants to dominate everything!"
Pri Minister Wen followed up, equally furious.
"Even incidents involving death can be covered up so cleverly, even a wet nurse’s son working as a governnt official dares to act with arrogance."
"It seems the Wei Residence is truly outrageously bold!"
The woman examined the pair in front of her, one big and one small.
She felt their attire looked noble, and their deanor was special.
The woman couldn’t help but ask suspiciously, "Who exactly are you? Be careful standing up to the Wei Family, they might retaliate."
Bai Zhi’er’s dark eyes shifted.
"In the Capital, there’s a Pri Minister nad Wen, do you know him?"
"Of course, Pri Minister Wen, he was a great contributor during the founding of the nation with the Emperor."
Bai Zhi’er nodded, her voice gentle: "This ti, it’s because Pri Minister Wen heard that the Wei Family killed soone back then, so he specifically wanted to investigate!"
The woman was suddenly surprised: "So it’s at the behest of the Pri Minister."
The little one nodded twice: "We’re currently helping Pri Minister Wen gather powerful evidence."
Bai Zhi’er’s long lashes fluttered, her small face showing a pitiful expression.
"Auntie, this matter involves a life, it’s very important, I’m the youngest official under Uncle Pri Minister, and I’m helping out to earn money for treats."
"Now that you’re willing to tell us the truth, that’s very good, but it’s not enough."
The little one lowered her voice, telling the woman: "Originally, there were three people who saw Wei Zian order his house servants to beat the people."
"One elderly man has already passed away, another lives over there," she pointed with her small hand, "but he won’t open the door, what should we do?"
The woman peeked in the direction Bai Zhi’er pointed.
She instantly exclaid.
"That house is occupied by Yang Xiazi, he’s a gambler! Of course he wouldn’t dare open the door, he probably thinks it’s a creditor looking for him!"
"Last year, the Wei Family gave us a lot of money to settle things, he gambled it all away, now he owes even more silver."
"The people from the gambling house co to smash the door every few days, they recently tore it down, and Yang Xiazi just put it back up."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long lashes: "I see!"
She thought for a mont, then said: "Auntie, tomorrow Uncle Pri Minister will send soone to ask you to testify that Wei Zian indeed ordered the house servants to beat people."
"Don’t be afraid, no matter how powerful the Wei Family is, Pri Minister Wen represents the Emperor, who can be more powerful than the Emperor!"
The woman was still sowhat hesitant, but hearing Bai Zhi’er speak like this, she furrowed her brows in silence for a while, finally nodding.
"Alright, I understand!"
In the end, it was Bai Zhi’er’s initial words that convinced her.
If she was walking down the street in the future and suddenly got beaten to death by a nobleman’s servant.
If her family had nowhere to seek justice, she wouldn’t be content even in death.
Bai Zhi’er and Pri Minister Wen left the alley.
Pri Minister Wen asked, "Princess, shall we go find the so-called Yang Xiazi?"
Since it’s about testifying, we can’t have just one person.
Bai Zhi’er waved her small hand.
"No need to find him, tonight Uncle Pri Minister will send two people to offer him gold and silver to testify. A gambler with nowhere else to go fears not having money to gamble, but doesn’t fear for his life."
"Now, we need to do sothing more important!" The little one smiled happily.
Pri Minister Wen imdiately motivatedly asked, "Princess, who else do you want to find?"
"Not looking for people, I’m hungry, let’s go to Xijiang Yue to eat~"
