Chapter 146: Joint Trial by the Three Departments, Restoring the Truth

Many of the mountain bandits had been silenced that year.

This middle-aged man was shrewder and guessed that the issue was too significant, with fortunes to be made but no life to enjoy them—so he fled at the first sign of trouble.
