Chapter 303: First Take a Look

Upon arriving in the Northeast, Tang Yi, together with Qiao Yunhan, first entered a small village deep in the mountains.

They didn't immediately head to the prison where Ergou was held.

After asking around the village, they easily found out all the information about Ergou.

Sadly, his mother, overwhelmed by grief after Ergou was sentenced, had committed suicide by throwing herself into a river.

With the villagers' guidance, Tang Yi located Ergou's mother's grave. It was a small mound with grass around the tombstone over a metre tall.

He crouched down himself and cleared the weeds around it. He then hired craftsmen to recondition the grave and carve a headstone.

Qiao Yunhan was slightly puzzled and said, "That Ergou, we can't even be sure if he's the person we're looking for."

"Why are you doing all this now?"

Tang Yi was exceedingly sincere, "Whether or not Ergou can join us, merely for his filial piety and his violent ways, he deserves every one of us's respect."
