Xu Jing followed Mr. Yao back to the Wang family's front hall, now it was less crowded with only Duke Qiao, the two young lords of the Wang family, Xu Guangyi, and Mrs. Wen, besides the government officials.
Apparently, Jiang Shaobai had sent the others home for interfering with the investigation.
Jiang Shaobai gestured for Xu Jing and Mr. Yao to sit, then turned his attention to a government official standing in the center, "You can now report what you've found."
The official immediately saluted, saying, "Yes. Upon further inquiry with the Xu family servants, we learned Yang Quanfu was a loner and rarely interacted closely with other members of the Xu Family. Despite this, he was competent and amicable, receiving high praise from the servants.
Yang lived in the same courtyard with the other managers, had his independent room, and his frequent absences were easily approved by reporting to Chief Manager Cao.
