Chapter 420 Madam Jiang Sentenced
Actually, the first time Father Jiang and Madam Jiang were bailed out, he also sought help, but that person told him that the ones who bailed Father Jiang and Madam Jiang out were very influential, and it was best not to provoke them.
Besides, no matter how bad Father Jiang and Madam Jiang were, they were still Jiang Mengyu’s foster parents; there was no need to be utterly ruthless, as it would also affect Jiang Mengyu’s reputation.
At that time, he did not know the suffering Mengyu had endured. In order not to burden Mengyu with the infamy of sending her foster parents to jail, he did not pursue the matter further.
"Rest assured, I will make those three from the Jiang Family wish they were dead! And as for the human traffickers, I won’t let even one of them off!" There was a chilling tone in Gu Dongxing’s words.
These people, daring to treat his little dear so terribly, they deserve to die!
"However, although two people are now in custody, it’s very possible that only Li Chunhua will be sentenced in the end. Because the evidence you provided implicates only Li Chunhua, and, moreover, Li Chunhua was the only one who truly dealt with the human traffickers."
Gu Dongxing was giving Mengyu a precautionary warning.
Mengyu understood, of course.
"I understand. That Jiang Haidong handed off all the dirty work to Li Chunhua, while he remained hidden behind the scenes plotting strategy. Unless Li Chunhua implicates him, it’s probably going to be hard to punish him for now."
The situation turned out to be much like they expected. Although Jiang Haidong and Li Chunhua were taken into custody, they soon hired lawyers to argue on their behalf, claiming they were not involved in human trafficking but merely receiving a dowry.
Nevertheless, the contract provided by Jiang Mengyu and the testimony of witnesses like the Zhou Brothers found by Gu Dongxing left the lawyers with no room to argue. They could only request a lighter sentence on the grounds that Jiang Mengyu had not actually been sold.
In the end, Li Chunhua was sentenced to two years in prison, whereas Jiang Haidong was released after being detained for one month.
Seeing Jiang Haidong being released, Jiang Mengyu sneered in her heart, thinking to let him bounce around for a few days for now.
But don’t think I will let you off the hook!
Since she was about to start practicing medicine, and medicine and Alchemy go hand in hand, Mengyu began learning Alchemy.
Every night, she would lock the door, set up an Array with the Five Elements Fan, and enter the space to study Alchemy.
Yes, Alchemy, not pill-making. There were many recipes in the medicine encyclopedia, treating various diseases, providing detoxification, healing, for internal use, and for external use.
To maximize her time, Mengyu practiced in the thatched house, because only there could she utilize the tenfold increase in time from the Medicine Field.
Moreover, there was an Alchemy Room in the thatched house, with a relatively complete set of tools.
Mengyu had two pill cauldrons. One was a gift from Xiao He when treating the He Family brothers, and the other acquired from the lecherous ghost’s ring from Medicine Valley.
She asked Xiao Tao, "Which pill cauldron should I use to refine medicine?"
Xiao Tao really wanted to say that it was a pity to use a pill cauldron for Alchemy, but considering she had two, it pointed to the cauldron from the He brothers and said, "This one is a Spiritual Artifact, but since its Artifact Spirit is no longer present, it’s actually inferior to the top-grade magic tool pill cauldron from the pervert ring.
Use this Spiritual Artifact to refine medicine, and later use the top-grade spiritual artifact pill cauldron for pill-making."
Mengyu readily agreed and began refining medicine under Xiao Tao’s guidance. She made pills, ointments, and soup medicines, succeeding on her first attempt.
"It doesn’t feel very difficult."
Xiao Tao was also frustrated because it seemed that previous owners did not have such an easy time.
In the end, it concluded that Mengyu’s spiritual power was just too strong.
Mengyu was very pleased. She took out some medicine from that storage talisman she had obtained in the cave on the cliff. Most of the wound medicines inside had been taken by Gu Dongxing. When he carried out dangerous missions, how could he stand by and do nothing when his comrades were injured?
Now with newly refined wound medicines, their effects should be good too.
Taking advantage of the different time speed in the space, Mengyu prepared a variety of medicines, ready for any emergency.
