Bai Shan wrote a letter and gave it to Daji, asking him to send someone to Yizhou and Luojiang County, but the letter never left the estate. It circulated within the house and eventually returned to Old Madam Liu's hands.
Bai Shan and Manbao were then called over for questioning.
After pondering for a moment, Old Madam Liu said, "I will send the letter for you, but I must also inform Lord Wei. They can handle these matters quicker than we can."
Old Madam Liu said, "Shanbao, you are going to school tomorrow, stop going to the dungeon, and you too, Manbao."
Manbao opened his mouth slightly and said in a low voice, "We still want to ask them more questions, to ask more thoroughly."
Old Madam Liu placed the letter on the table and said softly, "Lord Wei and his people will take care of it. The dungeon is a place of bad omen, you should not keep going there."
Manbao asked, "Is this considered atoning for their crimes? Can they be spared the execution?"
