Jiang Yi's guesses were on point. Those general-class individuals were basically led by Jiang Bieli, and they seldom made any comments on the royal court hearings. Jiang Bieli was here in the royal capital today, and right now, his son was about to be executed, leaving them no choice but to step in.
That fatty was the currently Clan Head for the Qian Clan, the Minister of Revenue, Qian Gui. He might not have seen Jiang Yi before, but his information was stacked highly in his study room. His son had been hanging around Jiang Yi every day and were like brothers; it was natural he would step in and help Jiang Yi beg for mercy.
With so many generals and Qian Gui—who was the Clan Head of Qian Clan—involved, the two officials didn't dare to say anymore. Offending a group of generals wasn't a big problem, but if they were to offend Qian Gui, they might die before even knowing what happened.
"Hmph!"
