The government office is considered a profession of licking blood off the knife's edge. When investigating cases, one never knows who they might offend, and sometimes it could even implicate their family.
This profession often comes into contact with dangerous events. For example, Zhao Zhonghe and Zhao Yuan, if not for Xu Qing's company during their last trip to the crime scene, they probably wouldn't have even found their bodies.
The officials in the government office are used to this by now, so even if a colleague has an accident, they wouldn't make a big deal out of it at the funeral house. After all, an official is considered a lowly profession, not even recognized as a proper trade.
Rather than spending a lot of money on the funeral, it's better to save the money for the deceased's family.
Today, Zhao Zhonghe broke the norm by asking Xu Qing to preside over Shi Quan's funeral affairs.
