Bab 1237: Sever It!

"You sure do have a sharp tongue!"

After spurting a mouthful of blood, Song shi finally managed to collect his thoughts. "There's still a need for further investigation to determine whether what you have said is true or not, but it's a fact that Sun Qiang and the group from the Poison Hall snuck into the Qingyuan royal palace, knocked out all of the guards, and assassinated Emperor Chu Tianxing.

"There is clear evidence of their crimes, so there's no refuting this matter. If we do not punish them to make an example, how can we maintain order in the rest of the world? The authority of the Master Teacher Pavilion will be undermined! If everyone acted in the same manner as them, it would be pandemonium!"

It was not that Song shi really wanted Sun Qiang and the others to die, but it was impossible to appease the hearts of the populace without doing so.
