Constable Hong handed her a small pouch, then gave another one to Ye Zi'an, "This is to compensate you for your medical expense, young man. Make sure to keep it safe."
"Thank you, Constable Hong!" Ye Zi'an comfortably accepted it and thanked him with a bow.
"All right, I'm going to head back now, I have work waiting for me at the yamen," Hong said, preparing to leave.
However, Ye Zi'an stepped forward just in time, discreetly taking out two small silver ingots from the pouch and stuffing them into Constable Hong's sleeve, "A little token of my appreciation. Buy yourself and Constable Xu some wine. I'm really thankful for your help this time. I can only express my gratitude in this small way."
Upon this, Constable Hong accepted it with no objections, laughing. However, when leaving, he said to come find him if anything else were to arise in the future.
