Old Man Xue looked at Li Qingling and the others pitifully, and said with grievance, "Grandfather is about to go to the capital, remember to think about grandfather, do you understand?" Sniff... Sniff... - He didn't want to go back!

Last night, he had coerced Old Man Su, but Old Man Su had refused to change his mind and insisted on returning this morning.

It made him so angry that he didn't know how to change his mind at all.

Li Qingling and the others nodded, and agreed.

"My great-grandson's daughter is born. You must inform me immediately, understand?" He looked at Li Qingling's stomach and explained once again.

He regretted not being able to see his great-grandson's daughter being born.

Li Qingling rubbed his stomach, smiling as he nodded his head.

Even without her grandfather's warning, she would have immediately notified him and made him happy.

"Old Man Xue, stop nagging, it's time to go." The messenger couldn't take it anymore and urged him on.

If he was allowed to blabber on, he would have to blabber on until tomorrow.

He was afraid of him.

Wasn't it just returning to the capital? Was there a need for this? It's not like they were leaving each other forever?

He shook his head helplessly.

Old Man Xue glanced at the master messenger, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and stuffed it in Li Qingling's hands. He said that he had given the baby a name and told her to keep it.

Liu Zhimo: "..." His child's name was taken away so quickly?

Mr. Luo: "..." Did Old Man Xue want to make the first move?

He thought it was beautiful. With him here, the name of his great-grandson's daughter couldn't be named by anyone else.

"Little girl, this is the name that this old man has come up with with with with so many difficulties. After my great-grandson's daughter is born, you can pick one for her."

After saying that, he glanced at Luo Laotou provocatively. Don't think that he didn't know what Luo Laotou was thinking. Humph...

In any case, he was determined to make the decision to give her a name.

Li Qingling looked at Old Man Xue speechlessly, but before he could say anything, he was cut off by Mr. Luo.

"What good name can you come up with?" Mr. Luo took the paper slip from Li Qingling's hands, opened it and swept a glance at the name on it, then said disdainfully, "Old Man Xue, the name you gave me is too unsophisticated. Do you want my great-grandson's daughter to be laughed at?"

He was firmly opposed to using the name Old Man Xue had given him.

When he looked around, he couldn't find anything that sounded good.

Old Man Xue looked at Mr. Luo with dissatisfaction in his heart, saying, "Where did the hell did the name he gave me come from?"

He thought it was very nice.

Mr. Luo waved his hand and said with disdain, no matter how he listened to it, he felt that it was better.

Old Man Xue glared at Mr. Luo, his hands folded across his chest, and said snappily, "Luo Laotou, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, didn't you want your baby to use your name?" Wasn't picking four out of three for his name just for this?

Mr. Luo didn't cover up the fact that it was just his little thoughts in the slightest as he nodded his head and admitted with a smile.

He racked his brains to come up with a lot of names. After the baby was born, which one should he use?

"..."

You dare to admit to it? How dare he admit it?

Old Man Xue took two deep breaths before he turned to look at Li Qingling, not allowing him to use the name Mr. Luo had given him.

Li Qingling innocently looked at the two old men, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Alright, no need." Without waiting for Old Man Xue to laugh proudly, he added another sentence, "You guys don't even need to use my name, we will do it." For the sake of not offending both sides, he didn't need to choose between the two sides.

Hearing that, Old Man Xue and Mr. Luo froze for a moment, and then shouted at the same time, "No!"

Li Qingling raised his eyebrows and asked, why not? Can't we, as parents, name our children?

Old Man Xue and Mr. Luo felt like they had been kicked by a stone.

The two of them smiled at Li Qingling, and said the child's name, so the elder should be the better one.

"Then tell me, whose is better?" Li Qingling then kicked this problem back and let them solve their own problems.

If they got in front of her again, she wouldn't get them up.

Old Man Xue glanced at Mr. Luo, and snorted, saying that he named him.

Mr. Luo didn't argue with him this time, he only said that they would make a bet to decide who loses and who quits.

No matter who lost, no one could say it out loud. They had to be convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

Hearing Mr. Luo's words, Old Man Xue nodded his head, saying that it was fine, it was settled.

"Old Man Xue, are you leaving or not?" The impatient voice of the messenger sounded again.

Hearing the messenger's urging, Old Man Xue rolled his eyes and said, "Coming, coming." After replying, he turned to Mr. Luo and said, "Write them to contact me. I'll be leaving first."

Mr. Luo nodded, he did not want to bicker with Old Man Xue anymore, it allowed him to have a pleasant journey.

Li Qingling and the others also warned Old Man Xue one after the other to let him have a safe journey.

Old Man Xue nodded his head, then waved and turned back to the carriage.

"Let's go."

Seeing the mighty group of people who were leaving the Ninghua County, Li Qingling exhaled softly, as he was a little unwilling to part with Old Man Xue.

Liu Zhimo lightly patted the back of Li Qingling's hand, and silently consoled her.

Li Qingling smiled at him and said that she was fine, and told him not to worry.

"Rest well at home. I'm going to the yamen."

Li Qingling acknowledged.

Liu Zhimo smiled at her again before he turned around and went to the yamen's prison to look for He Zhao, Wang Lin and the others.

The Liu Family soldiers opened the door to the cell that locked He Zhao, Wang Lin and the other three, revealing Liu Zhimo's figure.

When He Zhao, Wang, and the others saw Liu Zhimo, they nervously stood up and stared at him. Why was Liu Zhimo looking for them? Was he going to pronounce a crime?

Liu Zhimo looked at He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others before saying, "Your punishments have come down." Seeing that he had pleaded for mercy, the emperor eased the blame on He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others, and didn't implicate any of their family members.

He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others felt their hearts skip a beat. What kind of punishment did the emperor give them? Would it implicate his family?

"Milord, speak. This commoner listens." Fourth Uncle He clenched his fists and pretended to be calm as he spoke.

Actually, he was extremely nervous, afraid that it would implicate his family.

His family was innocent. He did not want them to be implicated by him.

During the time he was locked up in the cell, he had already regretted it. He regretted it deeply, he should not have helped that person do anything, he should not have walked on the road of the The Imperial Court Against Thieves.

The other three swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and stared at Liu Zhimo without blinking, hoping that it wouldn't be a heavy punishment.

At least … At least don't involve your family.

Liu Zhimo swept a glance over the four of them again, and spoke with a calm and collected tone. "Exempt from death's door, it's hard to escape from a life and death sentence. Twenty years wasn't a long time, it wasn't short either. By the time they came out, their hair would have already turned white.

Saying so, the four of them slumped to the ground. They felt both lucky and sad at the same time.

Twenty years!

By the time they left, things had changed.

Liu Zhimo frowned slightly, "What, do you think that twenty years of punishment is enough? "Hmm?" Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Do you know what the other The Imperial Court Against Thieves have punished them for?"

Twenty years was a light time compared to his life.

They should be satisfied.

"They... "What crime was it?" Wang Yang raised his head to look at Liu Zhimo, and asked hoarsely.

"The others were taken back to the capital by the messenger." Liu Zhimo replied indifferently, "What do you think is waiting for them in the capital?"

Even without Liu Zhimo telling them, He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others could think of that.

The four of them looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and sincerely thanked Liu Zhimo. They knew, that if it wasn't for Liu Zhimo pleading for them, they would have died without a doubt.

Liu Zhimo fulfilled his promise to them.

"Big... "Lord, I wonder if our family members …" Lin Sen asked nervously in his heart.

They had been punished on their side, but they didn't know what had happened to their family members.

Liu Zhimo did not keep them in suspense, and frankly told them.

"What about our family?"

"He didn't hurt your family, he just confiscated all their properties."

That's good, that's good …

After He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others heard what Liu Zhimo said, the tension in their hearts suddenly relaxed.

Money was just an external possession. If it was gone, it was gone. It was good that he was fine.

They had prepared for the worst, but they didn't expect …

All of this was thanks to the youth in front of him.

He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others looked at Liu Zhimo with complex expressions and thanked him once more.

Liu Zhimo waved his hands, saying that he had only kept his promise.

He asked the Liu Family soldiers to lock the four of them back into their cell before turning around and leaving.

When he returned to the yamen, he saw Magistrate Ma looking at him happily.

He raised his eyebrows and asked Magistrate Ma what he was happy about.

Magistrate Ma rubbed his hands together and said that The Imperial Court Against Thieves had received his retribution, and he was happy in his heart.

The hot potato had finally been sent away and he could finally sleep in peace.

After all, he hadn't slept well in this period of time because he was afraid that The Imperial Court Against Thieves would escape.

If The Imperial Court Against Thieves escaped, then they really wouldn't be able to take the consequences.

Fortunately …

Liu Zhimo looked at him, and asked him if he wanted to go on vacation?

Holiday?

Magistrate Ma was startled for a moment, and then nodded his head to say that he wanted to.

He wanted to rest as well.

"I'll give you two days of leave to properly accompany your wife and children."

"Good, good, good. Thank you, my lord." Magistrate Ma was extremely excited, "Master, I … Can I go back now? " His wife had lost a lot of weight, which made his heart ache. He needed to go home and help with the housework, so he wanted her to have a good rest.

Liu Zhimo acknowledged and agreed.

Magistrate Ma thanked Liu Zhimo excitedly, turned, and ran away.

Looking at Magistrate Ma's back, Liu Zhimo touched his chin, and smiled with the corner of his mouth raised. When Magistrate Ma came back, he would rest.

He wanted to spend some time with his wife.

He was frightened by the thought of his wife's belly growing bigger and bigger every day.

If he did not have to deal with the matters of the yamen, he really wanted to stay by her side and watch her every day.

Four more months … In four months, the child would be born, and the wife wouldn't have to work so hard.

He pulled his fingers and exhaled heavily. Then, he walked to the chair and sat down, ready to handle the matters of the office.

Finish up early and go home to your wife.
