After returning to Huailiu Lane, Xu Jiang and Yin Yin got off the car and asked the guards to send Aunt Lin home. Aunt Lin held her hand with a face full of love.
"My dear daughter, come to my aunt's house when you have time. I will make you something delicious."
"Okay, have a nice trip, auntie."
After seeing off Aunt Lin, the two returned to the inn with smiles on their faces. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Liang Mo and a Dali Temple patrol guard sitting opposite each other and talking. Seeing her come back, the two hurriedly stood up to greet her.
Xu Jiang asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The patrolman glanced at Liang Mo and Yin Yin, and Xu Jiang understood. He then asked Liang Mo and Yin Yin to step aside and talk to each other alone.
After the two men left, Xu Jiang asked, "Sir, are you here for Xu Dang and Xu Twelve?"
"My lady, you are wise," the patrolman said helplessly. "That Xu Dang is fine, but Xu Twelve is restless. He always wants to see you. I've scolded him many times, but he won't give in. Yesterday, he even hit himself against a pillar. If he were a criminal, it would be fine. We wouldn't care if he lived or died, but he isn't one. I'm afraid it would cause trouble if he died in the Dali Temple, so I came to consult with you."
"He still refuses to give up." Xu Jiang originally wanted to ignore this traitor, but she had entrusted him to the Dali Temple. If she allowed him to cause trouble, it would be her fault. "Sorry to trouble you."
The patrolman waved his hand. "It's not a big deal, but it's not pleasant to keep making such a fuss. Why don't you meet him? Talk to him in person and explain things clearly, so he can give up."
"Okay." Xu Jiang let out a breath. What had to be faced had to be faced. So she let her see him one last time to teach him to give up on this idea. "Please go back and tell him that I will go see him tomorrow and ask him to wait patiently."
The patrolman said happily, "Okay." Then he remembered something, "Oh, right, Xu Hao and the Zhou family's case have been transferred to the Dali Temple. The trial will be held in a few days. Would you like to attend the trial?"
Xu Jiang was startled for a moment, then shook his head and asked, "What will the verdict be?"
"Fifty lashes, reduced to a lowly rank, and sold into slavery." The patrolman added, "He should have been sentenced to exile, but because he reported the crime, his punishment was reduced."
"Demoting him to a lowly status and selling him into slavery is even worse than exile. Your Excellency has made a good judgment." Xu Si had always been arrogant and conceited. Demoting him to a lowly status and selling him into slavery was the greatest humiliation he could have suffered. "This is what he deserves."
I wonder what Xu Yan would think if he saw that his descendants would become slaves in the future. I'm afraid he would not be at peace in his grave.
The evil deeds and bad consequences these people committed have finally come back to haunt their descendants. It’s truly gratifying!
Xu Jiang invited the patrol guards to drink two cups of tea and served them some cakes and snacks. The patrol guards ate heartily. Since Lord Lou left, they had not had a single bite of food from Madam Xu. He had fought with others several times to get this opportunity to deliver the message.
Thinking that she had caused them a lot of trouble, Xu Jiang packed the remaining cakes into boxes, moved a few jars of wine and tied them into a net with ropes, and asked him to take it back and share with his colleagues.
Finally, he asked him to send a copy to Mu Congye, to show respect and care for Mulan Jing.
The patrol guard came empty-handed but returned with a full load, and went back to the Dali Temple happily to show off.
Xu Jiang stopped smiling and stared in the direction of the Dali Temple in a daze.
Why was Xu Twelve so stubborn, even banging his head against a pillar to see her? If it was to gain freedom, he could tell with a flick of his toes that she wouldn't agree, yet he still made a scene again and again.
Could it be that he has some bargaining chips in his hand?
But what other bargaining chips are there?
Xu Jiang suddenly remembered the letter he had asked someone to bring her. After she closed the shop and returned to her house, she immediately went back to her room and took the letter out from under the table.
She opened the letter and glanced at it, but immediately froze on the spot.
