He Zifeng successfully became the deputy chief catcher, and people at the yamen gate took the initiative to show their favor to him.

Those who walked out of his team blushed with shame when they saw He Zifeng again. They did not give He Zifeng face by leaving in the first place. No matter how generous people are, they can't let go of this incident, for fear that He Zifeng will hate them.

Everyone wanted to win over Panzi and Xie Rui and the others, and wanted to say something nice.

But they didn't even raise their eyelids, and said: "What are you thinking about?" Just for one tael of silver, not just one tael of silver every month, but one tael of silver for the whole year. You can make them shaken, which shows that all the good things you do to them are just feeding the dog.

After He Zifeng heard about it, he took the initiative to find them: "I don't care about that matter." After hearing this, they were slightly relieved.

He Zifeng became the fourth in command of the county government. Not only them, but also the merchants who often went to the county government were eager to establish a good relationship with him!

Among them was Wan Hai.

He Zifeng hadn't seen him for a long time, and he couldn't recognize him the next time he looked at him. He was so thin that he almost lost his appearance. Those who didn't know better thought that the Gong family wouldn't feed him.

When Wan Hai saw He Zifeng walking among the crowd in bright clothes, he even felt a little ashamed of himself. I didn't look down on He Zifeng before, but now he has climbed onto her head, and I was very crushed by this mentality.

The Gong family heard that He Zifeng used to be Wan Hai's brother, and quickly asked him to come over to establish relations. He said he didn't want to, and was scolded by the third brother, the head of the family, that the whole family was freeloaders.

How could a person as proud as Wan Hai want to be said like this? He was so angry.

He Zifeng met Wan Hai and said to Xie Rui and the other brothers who were beside him: "You go to the bar today. I won't go."

Xie Rui and the others were also smart people. When they saw Wan Hai and then He Zifeng, they knew they had something to say and left first.

He Zifeng asked, "What's the matter?" Although Wan Hai had never bullied him before, he silently allowed his mother to bully others. I thought I would hate him very much, but when my status became higher, I suddenly felt that Wan Hai was not important at all and became an indifferent person.

Wan Hai pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Congratulations." Who would have thought that a man who came out of a corner in the countryside would one day be able to eat official food.

Why can't he get such a good fate?

He Zifeng said: "Thank you, how are you doing lately?"

Since Wan Hai came to the county, he has felt strongly out of place. He went from being an arrogant peasant boy to a despised illegitimate son. Even the servants of the Gong family looked down upon him, and he had to beg in a low voice just for a little money. The business has never been successful, and the people next to him don't understand him. He wanted to talk to He Zifeng about these worries.

Such words had been suppressing his heart for too long, and he felt that He Zifeng would definitely understand him if he said it. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them down. He was afraid of being laughed at: "I'm fine." After saying this, his mouth was full of bitterness, but he still managed to hold on: "I don't have to worry about food and clothing over there. I can eat half a basket of crabs as big as a palm in one meal, and there are bear paws and bird's nests on the table."
