"After Wang Qing was sent to Kaifeng Prefecture, he confessed to all his crimes without reservation, admitting that he had gone to the Tong family's villa to steal!"

Fu An lagged half a step behind Gao Zhao, following closely behind, and introduced the situation as they walked:

"Because the case involves the Tong family, the Kaifeng Prefecture wants to punish them severely as robbers. These past two days, Wang Qing's father has been running around trying to find old connections and pull strings!"

Gao Zhao was not surprised that he was able to find out this information; city swindlers and sycophants always have their ways of gathering information if they want to.

As he listened, he suddenly stopped, and asked thoughtfully, "Did he manage to pull some strings?"

Fu An quickly steadied himself and chuckled, "It's not that easy. Wang Qing's father used to be a litigator. Although he had connections with the government, he was just a bunch of clerks and runners. Now that Wang Qing's case is at the behest of those higher-ups, what can those clerks do?"

Gao Zhao paced a few steps, then pondered, "I heard you say before that Wang Qing's father wasn't a good person?"

"Of course! That old bastard used to rely on his connections to cheat both plaintiffs and defendants, even harming his own relatives! He was utterly depraved, but having only one son is his just deserts..."

Gao Zhao raised his hand to interrupt him, and said seriously, "Hey, don't say that! I only see a hardworking old father doing his best for his son. Truly, the hearts of parents are full of love and sacrifice!"

"Huh?" Fu An looked blank, his eyes full of confusion.

No, wasn't it you who put Wang Qing in there? What do you mean by saying this now?

Gao Zhao seemed to notice Fu An's astonishment, so he explained, "Wang Qing made a mistake, which he deserved, but that doesn't stop me from feeling pity for his father! Compassion is a universal human quality, and this is precisely the virtue of this young master!"

Fu Yasu: "..."

"So, go and help him out!" Gao Zhao patted Fu An on the shoulder, looking very serious.

"Huh? Me?" Fu An pointed at himself with a bewildered look.

Gao Zhao nodded and smiled, "Yes, don't worry! You still have me behind you, don't you?"

"No, young master, what exactly are the procedures?" Fu An had been following Gao Zhao for so long that he knew his character quite well.

Seeing his anxious expression, Gao Zhao patiently explained, "Didn't you say before that Wang Qing had ruined his family's fortune? Does his house still exist?"

Fu An's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Young Master, do you mean you're going to trick him into giving you his house?"

Gao Zhao frowned, quite displeased with the man's choice of words. However, considering his humble origins and uncouth nature, he didn't bother arguing with him. He poked the man's chest twice with his finger and said seriously, "It wasn't me, it was you! Can you handle this?"

Fu An suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Don't worry, young master, I understand. Leave this to me."

"Go on!" Gao Zhao waved his hand, turned around and walked into the room. When he entered the room, he saw Feng San Niang still bending over and cleaning.

He shook his head, turned around and went into the courtyard. He first sent Gao Yi to boil a bucket of hot water for a bath, and then picked a ripe pomegranate and sat on the bamboo couch to eat it slowly!

He planned to abstain from sex for two days to conserve his energy and strengthen his body!

Women will only hinder me from becoming stronger!

This young master has quite a strong sense of self-control!

After finishing a pomegranate, Gao Yi brought over some water, and Gao Zhao jumped into the bathtub to start washing himself.

While he was washing, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Feng Sanniang who had come in.

Her eyes were fixed on him as she walked, taking off her clothes as she went. By the time she reached the bathtub, she was completely naked, looking shy and timid.

Gao Zhao glanced at her and sneered inwardly. This is a test. Which official can't withstand such a test? They are underestimating my composure!

"If you want to wash, wait a while, wait until I'm done washing!" Gao Zhao said calmly, without any emotion.

Feng San Niang's face froze, her expression panicked, and alarm bells rang in her heart. Could it be that he really had already abandoned her?

"I...I'm here to scrub your back, sir!" Feng Sanniang naturally couldn't give up so easily, so she took a loofah and wrapped it around Gao Zhao's back to gently scrub him.

The tingling sensation coming from his back was very comfortable, making him want to move. Gao Zhao quickly took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and used his strong willpower to resist the impulse of his body.

After wiping for a while, seeing that Gao Zhao did not object, Feng Sanniang was secretly pleased. She lifted her leg and stepped into the bathtub, then continued to gently wipe him.

Gao Zhao thought to himself, "What a vixen! She dares to try and corrupt my resolve with this! She has underestimated me!"

Immediately, he focused his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and silently recited Confucian classics, remaining unmoved!

Feng Sanniang continued wiping, her hands slowly reaching from back to front, gently caressing and kneading, her voice charming: "My lord, do you dare open your eyes and look at me!"

"What wouldn't I dare!" Gao Zhao sneered, his heart filled with disdain. A single glance ignited his fury; he shoved Feng Sanniang to the ground and roared, "Witch, I need your help in my cultivation!"

Abstaining from pornography starts tomorrow!

……

Wang Xu never expected that his son would cause such a disaster and offend the Tong family. His son had already squandered all of the family's wealth. He wanted to ignore it, but this was his only son, so how could he not care?

She had no choice but to sell the few valuable items she had secretly hidden from her son to raise some money to help her son settle the matter and get him out of trouble.

He originally thought this was just a minor matter. After all, although Wang Qing had the intention to steal, he didn't succeed. He didn't even enter the mansion, let alone hurt anyone. At most, he would just get a few lashes as punishment and that would be the end of it!

But when he inquired, he learned that Kaifeng Prefecture actually wanted to prosecute him for the serious crime of burglary, which terrified him!

Having spent half his life as a lawyer, he was well-versed in the law. According to the "Song Criminal Code," he captured robbers and executed them in public, regardless of whether there were stolen goods or not!

He hurriedly stuffed money into the yamen runner's hand, begging him to be lenient and think of a way to help. But the usually greedy yamen runner, contrary to his usual behavior, pushed the money back, saying that the case was being personally supervised by his superior and involved Grand Commandant Tong. He dared not get involved in this mess, as it could be a death sentence. He could only tell him to pray for good luck.

Wang Hua knew that what he said was true, so he could only leave Kaifeng Prefecture with a worried look on his face, sighing deeply and looking anxious.

If Wang Qing is truly convicted of robbery, then his Wang family line will be completely severed. What should we do then?

He squatted in the corner, his hands covering his head, first cursing Wang Qing for causing trouble for no reason, and then complaining that the Kaifeng Prefecture was sycophantic and bullying, and that they treated human life like dirt!

But after cursing and arguing, there was still no solution!

Just as he was feeling down, a dark shadow suddenly loomed over him. Wang Hua looked up and saw a man with a half-smile looking at him.

"Master Wang, do you need my help?"
