"Sir, we won!" Mr. Cao stumbled forward on a lame leg, limping towards Pei Jian, his eyes red as he spoke.
"Yes, we won." Pei Jian had already received the news that the court dispatched Su Mobai, Assistant Minister of Revenue, as the Imperial Envoy and Cui Xiang, Vice Minister of Justice, as his assistant, leading a thousand Yulin Guards to Dongshan to thoroughly investigate the case of Marquis Lingyang and Green Blade Sect secretly forging and smuggling arms to Beihu, committing treason.
The team had already left the capital and would arrive in Dongshan shortly.
However, if we don't win this battle, even if the Imperial Envoy arrives, it would be for nothing, as all the evidence would be gone—could a conviction be made then?
Mouth battles are useless.
Would the emperor in the distant Li Jing palace believe it, especially since the Crown Prince just visited Dongshan and returned to the capital?
