At this moment, Su Sikong was in discomfort.
The panda-like eyes, after a night of rest, not only did not subside, but swelled till he could hardly see clearly.
As he clutched his head in pain, it happened that someone came to report that Qin Xiao had arrived.
"....They even dream of retrieving that jade hairpin, haha! Here they are after they left the town, I was in a hurry to report to you, Deputy County Magistrate."
Qin Xiao smiled obsequiously.
Not showing any sign of understanding, he chattered ceaselessly in front of Su Sikong.
"All this effort is thanks to you, Second Brother Qin."
Su Sikong barely managed to pipe up, calling out, "Someone!"
Immediately, a follower answered.
"Sir."
The follower hurriedly walked in and handed a ingot of silver on a tray.
"Take these 20 taels of silver. Keep me informed of any further developments."
