The entire book is written in the traditional chapter format, rich in content, easy to understand, and worth reading. The Minister Cheng Yaogin, along with the other officials, saw that Ren Gui was to be executed and desperately wanted to save him. When they saw Xu Maogong come to the court, they were overjoyed, expecting he would definitely intervene. However, Ren Gui was still sent to the celestial prison. The previous chapter mentioned the reunion of Xue Ren Gui, which will not be elaborated on here. Now, let's say Cheng Yaogin returned to the capital to report to the emperor, and all the ministers gathered for the court session. After the meeting, they left the court gate and returned to their respective residences.
Pei Shi, the lady of the house, greeted him and said, "Old master, you must be tired from your journey!" Cheng Yaogin replied, "This business venture was indeed profitable. I have earned over thirty thousand taels as a special envoy. If I could do a few more like this, I'd be even better off." The other officials bid farewell and went back to their residences.
There were also eight generals, including Zhou Qing, who came to pay their respects and inquire about Xue's brother. Cheng Yaogin said, "He has two wives and a daughter, so there's nothing to worry about." Zhou Qing told Jiang Xingbao and the others.
