Shi Xiang lost power, and the common people rushed to accuse Shi Dazhuang. Yuan Bao handed Shi Dazhuang over to the Magistrate Xuan Liang of Xihua City and returned to the inn in Ziyin Town.
Jiao Letong was extremely excited upon hearing that Shi Xiang was arrested and immediately ran to the inn to share the good news with Xiao Ruo.
Xiao Ruo listened as Jiao Letong vividly described how Shi Xiang was defeated and how he was thrown into prison, yet didn't mention his father at all. Xiao Ruo smiled and asked, "Letong, do you know who subdued Shi Xiang?"
Jiao Letong shook his head, "No, the villagers didn't say."
Xiao Ruo chuckled, "So you heard all of this from the villagers?"
"Yes, it's what the villagers said, but Doctor Qin, Shi Xiang's arrest is absolutely true. The villagers who suffered under Shi Dazhuang had papers drawn up and took him to the Government Office in Xihua City!" Jiao Letong was anxious, afraid that Xiao Ruo wouldn't believe him.
