Chapter 419 The Truth
"You go back tonight. I will help you negotiate with Madam Weirui about Tian Mieluo and see if there is a way to mediate the situation."
After spending several months with Lin Ting, Xiao Jingchuan knew that Lin Ting was not a cruel person.
And he just went to see Tian Mieluo. Lin Ting just locked him in a room and did not abuse him.
On the way home, Tian Wei passed by Weirui Pavilion and looked at the brand new gate. There were guards guarding outside the gate. He was blocked whenever he got any closer.
"What are you doing? Weirui Pavilion is closed for the evening, let's go..."
Lin Ting has learned his lesson and now has someone guarding outside the gate to prevent anyone from throwing feces at him again.
Only at this moment did Tian Wei realize how weak he was. He knew that his son was locked up in Weirui Pavilion, but he even had trouble getting in.
He turned around and slapped himself twice. How could he be so stupid to say those words to his own son?
He was so regretful. His wife in heaven would definitely blame him if she saw their son being kidnapped by bad guys.
Tian Wei had a hard time along the way, and he was reflecting on his own extremism all the way.
He thought that the court was reluctant to see the people in the border town suffer, and that the second prince took too much care of the people in the border town. He felt that everyone and everything was on their side.
He was indignant and felt that he could change everything, but the facts told him that he could do nothing.
He was just an ordinary citizen, without ability or strength. He couldn't deal with Xi Luo, nor could he deal with Madam Wei Rui.
Now he placed all his hopes on the Second Prince. As long as he could rescue his son, he would do anything.
When I returned to the dilapidated courtyard, I smelled a strong smell of sewage before even entering the door.
Looking in the moonlight, he saw that the outside of his gate was covered with manure. The scene was exactly the same as when he had poured manure on Weirui Pavilion.
Tian Wei was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. The people from Weirui Pavilion poured manure on the gate of his yard.
This means that he doesn't have to pay for the gate of Weirui Pavilion, and he can still clean up the feces.
The next day! Xiao Jingchuan sent someone to call Tian Wei, saying that he would take him to Weirui Pavilion to discuss the matter of Tian Mieluo with Lin Ting.
Tian Wei had been cleaning up feces all night and his whole body was smelly. He took a shower and changed his clothes before following Xiao Jingchuan's men to Weirui Pavilion.
Behind Weirui Pavilion, Lin Ting was sitting on a chair drinking tea, Xiao Jingchuan was also sitting on a chair, and only Tian Wei was standing.
"Mrs. Weirui, what have you thought about what I told you yesterday?"
Xiao Jingchuan felt embarrassed to ask this question. The carriage was too expensive, and he couldn't afford so much silver to compensate Lin Ting.
But this amount of money is nothing to Lin Ting. If Lin Ting insists on compensation, he will compensate Lin Ting when he has money in the future.
"Second Prince, I still say the same thing about this matter. Pay the silver. You are also someone who understands the laws of Dongxia.
It is reasonable for me to detain the offender. If he cannot come up with so much silver as compensation, I can confiscate his land. If the land is still not enough, I can hand the offender over to the government for detention.
According to the value of the damaged property, it was estimated to be more than 900 taels of silver. An ordinary laborer could earn about one tael per month.
If I can earn twelve taels a year, then nine hundred taels would mean at least twenty or thirty years in prison, right? "
Twenty or thirty years. When Tian Wei heard this number, his legs went weak and he knelt in front of Lin Ting.
"Madam Weirui, no, if Tian Mieluo is imprisoned for twenty or thirty years, his life will be ruined.
You are right. If a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault. I instigated him to throw firecrackers at your carriage. I am the instigator of all this. You can arrest me. It has nothing to do with my son."
Lin Ting put down the teacup, and Tian Wei finally admitted it.
"Tell me, tell me your motive for attacking me. Confess and I'll give you some leniency."
This was the last chance Lin Ting gave Tian Wei. Tian Wei knew in his heart that if he didn't take action, he would kill his son.
“Yes, Madam Weirui, I saw you doing business with the Xiluo people, and I took out my hatred for Xiluo on you.
I was so angry that you were from our Dongxia country, but you helped the Xiluo people to get rich, so I threw feces on the gate of Weirui Pavilion again.
And there was what happened on the road. It was me who taught Tian Mieluo to recognize your carriage, and it was me who kept saying that the border town army defeated Saren with firecrackers.
It was me who gave my son psychological guidance, and it was also I who found out that you would be coming back from Yangcheng yesterday, and that the Second Prince was also going to patrol a section of the road.
So I deliberately took Tian Mieluo with me to chop firewood there, and gave the firecrackers and fire starters to my son.
Because I know that after all the education and guidance I have given him, he must hate you, so when he sees your carriage coming back, he will definitely blow up your carriage with firecrackers.
I planned all of this, and I exploited my son. I am the real culprit."
This statement was consistent with Lin Ting's judgment. After she coaxed Tian Mieluo, she also found that the child had no intention of killing her at all.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, did you hear clearly?"
This was not what Tian Wei said to Xiao Jingchuan yesterday. When he came in front of Lin Ting, Lin Ting asked him to confess the truth after just two words.
At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan had used up all the remaining sympathy he had for Tian Wei.
"Second Prince, this Tian Wei wants my life. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be here so peacefully. Tell me, what should I do about this?"
The most authoritative person in the border town is Xiao Jingchuan. He saved Lin Ting's life yesterday, so Lin Ting still has to give him face.
Xiao Jingchuan looked at Tian Wei. Two years ago, Xiluo spies infiltrated the border town. They wanted to poison the water source, but it was Tian Wei and his wife who discovered it.
When he came to the military camp to report, he left his wife in the dark to watch the enemy, but unfortunately she was discovered by the Xiluo people and was humiliated to death.
He had saved the people and the army of the entire border town, and that was why he lost his wife and his son lost his mother.
So Xiao Jingchuan took care of him in every way, but he should never have attacked Lin Ting.
"This matter...or, it's up to you to decide."
Seeing Xiao Jingchuan in trouble, Lin Ting probably understood that there were not many people who were worthy of his trouble, and this Tian Wei must have made contributions to the army.
Lin Ting thought about it for a while, and considering that Xiao Jingchuan saved her again, she gave Tian Wei a light punishment and a stern warning.
"For the sake of the Second Prince, Tian Mieluo was sold to me as a slave. I want to keep the indenture, but he can stay by your side.
You, Tian Wei, like manure. Before you pay me compensation, you have to stay in Weirui Pavilion to clean the toilets, feed the horses and clean the stables. Only when Weirui Pavilion is closed can you and your son be free.
If you do anything else, I will sell Tian Mie Luo at my will. It is normal for a master to kill a slave.
Don't even think about taking Tian Mieluo away, slave. As long as you are within the Dongxia Kingdom, I can find you."
