Gu Wenheng patted Jin Qianqian's head. "You just finished complaining, but now you're the first one to feel sorry for him."
"That's only natural," Jin Qianqian said. "I hope Your Excellency will deal with him lightly, seeing as he's still young."
"Since this official is helping you right a wrong, shouldn't you give me some kind of reward?"
"Your Excellency, don't forget that you are Lord Qingtian. How could you accept bribes?"
Gu Wenheng hooked a finger under her chin. "This official views wealth as dirt, but I do have one true love in life. I hope this little lady can fulfill my wish..."
Jin Qianqian was entirely speechless.
As for whether Lord Qingtian accepted the bribe or not, that was left entirely to the imagination!
「Meanwhile.」
The prisoners in the jail were naturally eager to get out for some fresh air and a good meal; they were absolutely willing.
