Ming Xuan said, "What else can we do? Otherwise, reporting it to the Government will be in vain. If we let them escape, how can the grievances and hatred of those innocent women be resolved?"
Huangfu Jingchen replied, "Indeed, Shian Temple has committed so many atrocities over the past five years, yet its reputation remains intact, and its incense offerings flourish. It's impossible for Qu'an Prefecture to be completely unaware, so reporting to them would be mostly useless. Da Jin Prefecture is adjacent to Qu'an Prefecture, and when I descended the mountain this morning, I already sent someone to report to Da Jin Prefecture. If there are no delays, they should arrive by tomorrow during the day."
Xia Wenjin was surprised to hear that the authorities had already been informed. She glanced at Huangfu Jingchen and said, "We didn't have any evidence before; everything was just speculation. Aren't you afraid that if the facts aren't as we expect, you'll be accused of false claims?"
