Zaotou nodded after hearing this and said, "Come with us to the government office to record your statement later."
Yin Yin looked at Xu Jiang.
Xu Jiang touched her dirty little face and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll be there soon."
"Yeah." Yin Yin held her hand tightly.
Zaotou then asked Xu Jiang to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the losses one by one. Then he took the witnesses, physical evidence and the criminals and returned home.
Xu Jiang left Guard Xue to guard Xu Wu and Xu Twelve, and she took Yin Yin and Guard Zhu back to the government office.
This time, many neighbors also went along.
Yinyin lifted the carriage curtain and secretly looked at the neighbors following the carriage. She asked Xu Jiang, "Why aren't they afraid anymore?"
Xu Jiang took out a handkerchief and wiped her face. "Maybe it's because there were so many people, maybe it's because of the officials, maybe it's because they caught the criminal, or maybe it's just because of what happened last time. People's hearts are complicated. Many things don't require reasons or answers. We just remember the kindness and repay it later."
"Okay." Yin Yin nodded.
Xu Jiang wiped the black marks on her face. Seeing that her face was pale and her eyes were a little dull, he felt distressed and quickly pulled her into his arms and patted her on the back.
"You must be scared."
"I was scared at first, but I wasn't afraid anymore when I saw so many people helping me. And Uncle Jackal is so brave and not afraid of bad people at all." When Yin Yin mentioned Uncle Jackal, tears welled up in her eyes again. She clutched Xu Jiang's hand and asked through her sobs, "Will it die?"
"No, it eats a lot and is strong. With proper treatment, it will survive." Although Xu Jiang said this to comfort him, he was still unsure. "After we finish recording the confession, we will go to see it."
I just hope Zhao Zhang can find a solution.
When they arrived at the yamen, Zaotou first ordered the yamen runners to detain the prisoner in the main jail pending trial, then assigned someone to take the witness to the office to record his statement, and then took Xu Jiang to the criminal room to file a case.
The chief clerk shook his head when he saw Xu Jiang was involved in another lawsuit. When he heard that the arsonist was from the Zhou family again, he personally wrote the documents, recorded the case details and the petition for her.
After recording, the chief clerk called Zaotou and asked him to lock up the arsonist and Xu Si together.
Xu Jiang understood his intention and couldn't help but smile.
"Once the yamen has compiled the witness statements and the criminal's confession, we will inform you when the trial is held. If you are summoned during this period, you must appear immediately without delay."
"That's a relief." Xu Jiang was no stranger to this set of rules.
The chief clerk gathered up the documents and continued, "This case will most likely be tried together with the blackmail case. Xu Wu and Xu Twelve should keep an eye on them; they will still be needed in court."
"Okay, I'll take good care of them." Xu Jiang and Lou Jing had already discussed how to accommodate these two people, so there was no need to worry about them for now.
By the time Xu Jiang had filed the case, Yin Yin had also finished recording her confession. When Xu Jiang went over, she was about to sign.
Xu Jiang saw her biting her lip, writing her name steadily, and then pressing her fingerprints. She couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that the little girl had grown up a lot.
