Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Walter was still surrounded in the center.

The fellow workers on the surrounding construction site remained silent.

Many people knew Walter's name, but no one really knew how he fell from the building.

Fang Zheng shielded his eyes with one hand, looking towards the top of the building against the glaring sunlight.

On the edge of the sixth floor, a group of workers were craning their necks, looking down.

However, these workers, whether in terms of their build or appearance, were quite different from the workers on the ground.

Fang Zheng immediately looked back at Black, his eyes slightly narrowed.

This kid... is putting on a show under my nose?

But Black's face was already pale at this time, and he was in a state of panic.

Damn it! Today was going so well, but inexplicably, a fool fell from the building. Can't even handle this little thing!

The crowd was silent, and some of the workers who had been watching from the rooftop had already run down.

Hearing Lai Gou'er still asking loudly, a worker hurried forward and said, "His name is Walter! He was carrying bricks upstairs just now, and he seemed to have felt dizzy and just fell down!"

"He hasn't been feeling well lately, and the weather is hot, so he's always dizzy."

Walter?! Of all people to die, why him!

Who will take care of my son in the future?

That's not right... This good brother has had a grudge against him for a long time. What if he's not completely dead and says something unfavorable...

A jumble of thoughts instantly popped into Black's mind. The next moment, he reacted and immediately tried to push through the crowd to check the situation.

Before he could get in, the doctor had already been called to the scene.

There were still some simple clinics near the construction site.

However, these clinics were not managed by Da Jing, and the doctors' medical skills were not considered very exquisite.

They could only handle some rough external injuries.

When the crowd made way, the doctor approached and began to take out various tools to check and provide first aid.

After only a brief examination, he shook his head at Lai Gou'er.

"What does shaking his head mean?" Lai Gou'er frowned and asked.

"It means he's beyond saving." The doctor packed up his tools, preparing to head back.

Li Yuanzhao couldn't bear it and said, "Why is he packing up? Can't he take another look?"

Lai Gou'er quickly translated for the doctor.

The doctor said, "His bones are all shattered, and his internal organs are probably ruptured too."

"This kind of thing happens often on this construction site. I've seen it too many times. I don't have the ability to save him. You should seek someone else more capable." After the doctor finished speaking, he immediately took his things and left.

Lai Gou'er turned around and translated to Li Yuanzhao again.

Every hair on Black's body stood on end, and the color drained from his face.

That damn doctor, what nonsense is he talking about!

He originally thought today was his chance to become famous and soar, but he didn't expect to be ruined by this kind of rotten thing!

Unknowingly, Black's forehead was already covered in beads of sweat.

Through the gaps in the crowd, he gritted his teeth and suddenly pushed through the crowd, bending his knees and kneeling to the ground with a thud!

This series of actions immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.

Walter, lying on the ground, struggled to open his eyelids.

Seeing that it was Old Black from next door, his chest began to rise and fall rapidly, and he tried his best to raise his right hand to slap him.

"Brother!! Why is it you, why does it have to be you!!" Black cried incessantly, roaring at the surroundings with teary eyes, "He's my neighbor! He's my friend, we've known each other for decades!"

"Ugh... ugh...." Walter uttered with difficulty, his eyes filled with hatred.

Black quickly grabbed his hand, crying and saying, "Don't talk! Are you worried about your family?"

Walter coughed violently, a mouthful of blood spurting out and then falling all over his face.

"Ugh... ugh!"

Son, he still has a son. If he dies, no one will take care of his son...

Walter's remaining consciousness was filled with this thought.

The resentful look he had originally directed at Black turned into pleading.

"Ugh.. ugh.. ugh."

Black leaned in, saying with extreme concern, "I'm listening, I'm listening, speak slowly..."

Despite what he said, Walter could only utter weak moans.

Black knelt on the ground, bending over and covering Walter.

The surrounding workers watched with concern.

After a while, Black bent over and cried loudly, "He... he entrusted my son to me!"

"I will definitely raise our two sons as my own! Even if I die, my family property will have a share for him! I swear to God now that if I say a single lie, may my whole family die and go to hell!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Walter's eyes, and the original resentment was replaced by relief.

He... his fingers twitched, and finally he chose to forgive...

The workers were shocked!

The boss is benevolent!

He could even make such a poisonous oath, which shows that he is sincere.

Fang Zheng watched the show from the sidelines with his arms crossed.

Such acting was really clumsy in his eyes.

But he couldn't find any fault with it.

This unlucky Walter must have accidentally fallen from the building himself, and it has nothing to do with this Black.

Li Yuanzhao frowned deeply, leaning close to Fang Zheng and saying, "Old Fang, there's a strange feeling about this."

"Those workers upstairs are obviously different from the ones below, and the quack doctor just said that this kind of thing always happens on the construction site. Isn't this just acting for朕to see?"

"I don't think the quality of this construction site is any good either. It's probably all garbage engineering."

After speaking, Li Yuanzhao pointed at Black, who was still crying in pain, and said angrily, "Look at this guy, he seems honest on the surface, but he's full of tricks, this kid! Take the money back and don't let him do it!"

Fang Zheng nodded, constantly thinking in his heart.

Today, just as His Majesty arrived in Shengcheng, something like this happened, which will have some adverse effects on Da Jing. Right now, it still needs to be resolved.

It's just that this unlucky Walter has to be wronged.

Walter, who was lying in the crowd, was already dying, and Black was still crying bitterly.

Fang Zheng raised his chin at him and said to Lai Gou'er, "Don't let him scream there, pull him over. I'll question him personally."

After speaking, he turned to Li Yuanzhao and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go interrogate that kid and come back later."

Li Yuanzhao nodded, not saying much, but looking at Walter with pity.

This guy is really too thin... almost the thinnest person he's seen since arriving in Shengcheng.

It couldn't help but remind him of those disaster victims he rescued in Jianjiang back then.

Clearly, it's a peaceful era. Shengcheng doesn't lack food, drink, or development opportunities.

How can a person live like they're starving to death?

The workers were also collectively watching Walter, pointing and commenting, but not showing much pity, which shows how poor his relationships were.

Black had already been pulled to a corner by Lai Gou'er for a private conversation with Fang Zheng.

Looking at Black, whose face still had traces of tears, Fang Zheng said indifferently, "Was that person really your brother just now?"
