"puff."
A basin of water was poured on Tian Wan'er's face, and Tian Wan'er woke up from her coma.
She looked pale and weak, and when she stood up and moved her body, it pulled on her wound, causing her to feel so much pain that she could hardly bear it.
"Tian, do you have anything else to say?"
"Sir." Tian Wan'er gritted her teeth, trying to regain some clarity. "I won't sue you anymore."
If she had known that she would suffer such humiliation today, she would never have set foot in the court and asked for trouble.
Xu Jing nodded. "Leaders, take her away and put her in jail for six months."
"Sir, why?" Tian Wan'er was confused. Hadn't she decided not to sue? It wasn't enough to just get a beating for nothing, but she also had to spend six months in jail?
Ye Changge's tone was unkind. "Master Jiang, please don't go too far. Wan'er is my person. I hope you will show some leniency and spare her."
Who asked you to plead for mercy? If you hadn't been crazy enough to ask me to sue the authorities, why would I have to suffer so much?
Reading this, Tian Wan'er glared at him and said, "None of your business, just shut up."
Ye Changge's eyes showed a look of hurt. "Wan'er, are you blaming me? It was Jiang Xuqing who punished you. What does it have to do with me?"
"That's enough. I don't want to hear your explanation. I'd rather go to jail." Tian Wan'er closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Our relationship ends here. You don't have to worry about what happens to me from now on."
"Wan'er." Ye Changge could no longer control his emotions and rushed over to hug her.
"Get out of here!" Tian Wan'er's lips trembled. He lunged at her with such force that it tore at her wound, causing even breathing to hurt. "Ye Changge, I won't hinder your path to success, and you should stop pestering me. From now on, you and I are strangers. May we each be well."
Xu Jing just sat there, watching the breakup scene with an expressionless face. If there weren't so many people present, he would have even wanted to laugh.
"Prince Nanping, please listen carefully. Tian would rather go to jail than go back with you."
"What does it have to do with you?" Ye Changge cursed: "If you hadn't hit Wan'er on your own initiative, Wan'er wouldn't have lost her temper with me. We haven't quarreled over trivial matters for two months. It's all because of you..."
Xu Jing was speechless.
Brother, it was your woman who provoked me first, okay?
If she had not committed treason and had not treated him badly in front of everyone, would he have used the laws of Dayan?
Bai Shinian poked Xu Jing's arm and whispered, "Sir, please don't bother with these crazy men and women."
Well said, there is no need to be nice to him.
Xu Jing ordered the bailiffs, "Take Tian into custody and put her in a solitary cell."
"Wait." Ye Changge said loudly: "What conditions do you want to let her go? You want money, right? I will give you whatever you want."
Ye Changge knew very well that Jiang Xuqing loved money like his life. If money could solve the problem, he would not mind using money to exchange for Tian Wan'er's life.
His Wan'er hadn't had a good life since she met him. If he allowed Wan'er to be taken away by the yamen runners again, he would not be a human being, but a beast!
Is there such a good thing?
Xu Jing narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth loudly. "Ten thousand taels of silver."
"Jiang Xuqing, you, you..." Ye Changge almost fainted from anger.
Where can he find ten thousand taels?
"If he is not imprisoned, his sentence will be extended by another six months."
Everyone was ashamed. Jiang Xuqing's method of asking for money was really extreme. No one could compare with him.
Luo Ying and other military generals even wanted to ask if the prefect's office was so short of money that a small amount of silver could buy off the prefect's conscience?
Tian Wan'er sneered and pushed Ye Changge a few times. When she found that she couldn't push him away, she became extremely angry. "I'm not as important as Jiaojiao in your heart anyway, so you should go after her. As for my life or death, the prince doesn't need to worry too much."
Jiaojiao is the fiancée of the Prince of Nanping. Her real name is Chen Jiaojiao, the daughter of the prefect Chen of Jingzhou. She was unlucky enough to be promised to Ye Changge as his wife.
Ever since Ye Changge was rescued by Tian Wan'er, his heart and eyes have been filled with Tian Wan'er, and he had long forgotten Chen Jiaojiao, who was arranged to be his bride.
When he returned, he tried desperately to break off the engagement, which made Xu Jing's immediate superior, Prefect Chen, very angry.
Chen Jiaojiao is also a crazy woman who has a terminal case of love brain. Ye Changge is about to break off the engagement, but she still insists on marrying him.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and because Chen Jiaojiao threatened to commit suicide, they were unable to retreat for the time being.
Just because he failed to withdraw, Xu Jing felt that Tian Wan'er was not worthy of being Ye Changge's future fiancée, and that everything was just his wishful thinking.
"Prince of Nanping, either you hand over the money and I will release the man. Otherwise, don't blame me for submitting a petition to Prefect Chen. Then, I will be unable to guarantee your marriage."
Ye Changge gnashed his teeth, his teeth itching with hatred. "Do you have to be so ruthless? Aren't you afraid of running into ghosts if you walk the night roads too much?"
Ye Changge had already decided to kill Jiang Xuqing. Keeping the dog official by his side was truly a disaster; he shouldn't have let him live.
Perhaps he would pretend to agree to his request first, and then find an opportunity to assassinate him. By then, he would be gone, and Jianzhou would be left without a leader and fall into civil strife. It would be much easier for the Jiannu to break through the border.
"I'm sorry, Governor Jiang, I made a mistake. I apologize to Lord Jiang. I don't have that much silver on me, and Wan'er's injury can't be delayed, so..."
Xu Jing interrupted him and said with a smile: "Then wait until the prince has money to redeem the person, then leave the court."
Seeing that there was no profit to be made and no excitement to be seen, everyone said goodbye to Xu Jing. Before leaving, Yue An simply squeezed his hand and whispered, "Sir, please don't be blinded by the yellow and white things. It will be difficult to withdraw later."
"Thank you for your teachings, Commander Yue. I will keep them in mind. Take care."
When Xu Jing pulled his hand back, Luo Ying saw from the corner of his eye that his fair hand was covered in red marks. He frowned and wanted to speak, but Tie Niu pulled him away.
As soon as he stepped out of the lobby, Luo Ying said to Tie Niu, "I have something else to do. I'll be back soon."
"What's going on?" Tie Niu complained. Yang Zhiming came over and said, "It's still Tian Wan'er's business."
"Aren't they strangers? What else is there?"
"How can we understand the little things between husband and wife? Go back. I'll find you a wife tomorrow, and then you'll understand."
When Luo Ying returned to the court, Ye Changge was still struggling with Tian Wan'er, and no matter how hard the bailiffs pulled, they couldn't pull them apart.
Xu Jing is made to look like Fahai, inhuman and unapproachable.
When Ye Changge saw Luo Ying, he was like an enemy meeting, his eyes filled with jealousy. "Why did you come back?"
"Right. General Luo, why did you come back?" Xu Jing left the hall and slowly walked over, mouthing, "Are you going to save that crazy woman Tian Wan'er?"
Of course, Tian Wan'er was not worth saving. He was afraid that if Jiang Xuqing stayed here alone, he would be harmed by the poisonous snake Ye Changge.
