Mr. Yao was slightly taken aback.
Lin Chengzhao admitted that Shi Wenfeng was his subordinate, but said the poisoning was not his order.
To a normal person, it would sound like he was making excuses.
A government official standing next to him immediately said, "Master Lin, do you take us for fools? Are you trying to say someone else approached Shi Wenfeng to bribe him into poisoning? And that person happened to be your subordinate? Such coincidences don't happen in this world!"
Lin Chengzhao's face turned deathly pale, and he gritted his teeth, "It really wasn't me..."
"Indeed, it wasn't him."
A clear and calm female voice rang out, and everyone present looked at Xu Jing in astonishment, thinking they had just misheard.
Xu Jing paused and said, "The person who instructed Shi Wenfeng to poison indeed wasn't him."
