Chapter 2344: Chapter 2344: Plea (2)
Gu Qingheng’s eyes lit up instantly, but when he saw the Silver Thumb Ring, he frowned and even set aside the naming matter for the moment. What did Xinxin mean by this? Xinxin wouldn’t give him something that belonged to another man without reason, so... Suddenly, he walked under the lamp and carefully examined the inside of the Silver Thumb Ring. He suddenly let out a cold laugh: "So that’s it." He knew that kid wasn’t a good person; turns out he was a member of the Flame Sect. Well, perhaps next, he could use this Silver Thumb Ring to do something.
The border seemed peaceful for now, but tensions were simmering beneath the surface, and Dapu East Village was quite lively as well.
In front of Daguan Building, Feng Caie was crying her eyes out, "Xinxin, I know my son Ruban was wrong, but he’s still young. Please let him go."
Previously, Yang Ruban had been bribed by Diewu to deceive Sini, almost leading to Sini’s death. He was later caught and imprisoned. At that time, the people at the old house weren’t informed of this, as they were used to not seeing Yang Ruban often. However, suddenly having no trace of him for seven or eight days worried them, and around this time, the Governor’s Office also relayed the message that Yang Ruxin was accused of kidnapping and murder and was sentenced to exile.
In fact, the heaviest punishment for Yang Ruban’s actions was exile, while the lightest was detention for a year or so.
However, Yang Ruxin was indeed angry and didn’t want Yang Ruban to stay in the village causing trouble, so Fang Dehua directly sentenced him to the highest punishment—exile to the northwest, three thousand miles away.
In ancient times, exile could sometimes be more miserable than a death sentence because many people didn’t survive to reach the exile destination. Some died from exhaustion, others from hunger, illness, or were even beaten to death. Essentially, they were likely to die.
As soon as the message arrived, Yang Baichuan and Feng Caie couldn’t bear it. They had already lost a daughter, and now they were about to lose a son. How could that be? So, they pleaded with Yang Ruxin.
Originally, Feng Caie wanted her eldest son to come too, but Yang Rusong, upon learning of Yang Ruban’s deeds, felt too ashamed to ask for any favors, so he didn’t come.
"Stop crying," Yang Ruxin sighed. "Your son is young, but what about Mimi? How old is she?" He paused, "Do you know who he colluded with to kidnap Mimi? Members of the Flame Sect, which is an evil cult! If I hadn’t found out in time, who knows what would have happened to Mimi by now... What would have become of our family then?"
Feng Caie was stunned; she really had no idea it was this serious: "But... but isn’t everything fine now?"
"Ha, fine now?" Yang Ruxin sneered. "So you’re saying only when someone gets hurt, it’s a crime? I’m telling you, if anything had happened to Mimi, you’d have been burying her by now and wouldn’t have the chance to cry here!"
Feng Caie swallowed hard.
"Rather than crying to me here, you should think about how to educate your children. At least Yang Ruohuai is still young and can be corrected. Don’t wait until he ends up like Yang Ruban. Otherwise, you really won’t have a place to cry. Now, please leave."
"Xinxin, please give Ruban a chance, won’t you? We promise..."
"You can’t promise anything." Yang Ruxin’s face darkened. "The fact that I didn’t kill him on the spot is already giving face to the Yang Family. Don’t push your luck."
