Urgent affairs have taken me away from Bianjing, and I regret that I could not bid you farewell in person. I hope you will forgive this discourtesy.
I have learned that Ah-Ren's case will be heard in five days. However, the presiding official, Lord He, is still weighing the matter of amending the laws.
The laws are not shaped in a day, but in this world, there is still room for compassion.
On that day, the people of Bianjing may attend the trial. Perhaps that moment will become a turning point.
