章 1744: Interrogation

"Lord—"

"Scribe Fang failed to protect the account book. It's his negligence. I'll punish him with two months of salary. And you publicly provoked the prestige of the leader and disregarded it. What crime should you be guilty of?"

Deputy Prefect Guan's face alternated between red and white. He staggered a few steps and almost fell.

"I, I really don't have such thoughts, Lord! This, this from the beginning to the end, it was just that I was muddle-headed and rushed to say something…"

"Then I'll punish you. Do you admit it?"

Deputy Prefect Guan felt suffocated.

He felt extremely aggrieved.

He wasn't stupid.

Realization dawned on him—he had succumbed to greed and walked right into Shao Yunduan's cunning trap.

Shao Yunduan wasn't oblivious to his recent actions; he not only knew but also disapproved. The trap had been set, and he had walked right into it.
