The next morning, White Shadow knocked on Li Moxian's door at the Town Martial Office.
Li Moxian, who had been reading, asked, "Did you enjoy yourself yesterday?"
White Shadow nodded slightly and said, "It feels really good to be with friends."
As he spoke, White Shadow kowtowed to express his gratitude to Li Moxian.
"Thank you, Chief, for your righteous action in saving Zhang San."
If it hadn't been for Li Moxian's instruction to first copy down everything from the Heavenly Punishment Sect's files in preparation for Zhang San's defense, Kaihuang might not have trusted so easily that Zhang San was innocent.
It could be said that Zhang San's freedom, being sent to the north instead of facing worse consequences, was greatly helped by Li Moxian.
