"That case from years ago was always riddled with doubt."
Shen Yanchuan spoke as he opened the first volume of the case file.
"Huo Yucheng fought on the battlefield for many years. He was always cautious and his command of troops was masterful. How could he have made such a colossal mistake at the battle of Tongtian Pass?"
It was as if he had been cursed.
"Because the battle was so disastrous, His Majesty was enraged. He ordered the Ministry of Justice to resolve the case as quickly as possible. In less than half a month, the entire Huo Family was executed, and even Ye Zheng and the others who pleaded on his behalf were implicated."
The candlelight flickered, reflecting in the depths of Shen Yanchuan's unfathomable eyes.
"Even more coincidentally, after Ye Zheng was demoted, he met with a mishap on his way out of the Capital."
