Chapter 833: Taking a Risk

She remembered that she had heard from her grandmother earlier that not long after the previous emperor ascended the throne, her relative had been sent to Shanxi to suppress bandits.

There were hundreds of thousands of mountain bandits in the 100,000-mile mountain area of Shanxi. At that time, the relative who had been ordered to eliminate the bandits had returned to the capital. Then, a court official had reported that he had risked killing the commoners.

Later on, it was confirmed that he had not killed those commoners. Instead, it was done by the sharp weapons used by mountain bandits to restrain the government.
