Huang An's sudden intervention left Ding Zhi stupefied.
He had absolutely no idea what to do. All he could do was keep his mouth shut, giving the impression that he silently agreed to Huang An revealing the truth.
Huang An's statement broke the deadlock, and gave new hope to Li Shui and the others.
This Old Man Ding was quite cautious. He did not want to invite gossip, so he tacitly allowed his agitated subordinate to spill the beans.
So cunning, incredibly cunning.
In a blink of an eye, County Magistrate Li and the others had crafted such a narrative in their minds.
They quickly cast their gazes towards Huang An, who could provide them with information.
Yet, Huang An held his accounts book so high and purposefully acted timid, not daring to look at them as he lowered his head.
Li Shui and the others could not make out Huang An's face clearly.
However, what Huang An looked like was not important.
What was important was the information in his words.
