"Cheng Shilu's reputation in Jianghu was average, but he relied on connections to be arrogant and wild. It was only a matter of time before he was killed. But Cheng Shilu is related to Minister Li after all. He was also in-laws with the vice-minister of the Ministry of Works and helped the Imperial Court manage the mines in the Iron Buddha Ridge. Young Master Ye killed him for no reason. If Your Highness doesn't give the order to arrest him, it won't be easy to explain to the Imperial Court."
Dongfang Liren naturally knew that it would be difficult to explain, but she had to protect her general. She thought for a moment and said, "Ye Jingtang is a man of great chivalry. Ever since he entered the capital, he has fought several private battles, but he has always known his limits. He wouldn't kill innocent people without reason… I'll wait for him to return and ask him. Reply to the Ministry of Justice first that Cheng Shilu died of suicide."
