Xiao Chengxuan, of course, refused to confess.
"Why should I confess to something I never did!? Have you all gone mad? Even if the entire world were to collude with the enemy, I never would!"
This accusation was far more serious than all the previous charges. Xiao Chengxuan knew that if he didn't deny it to his last breath and clear his name, he would have no chance of ever making a comeback.
"You actually believe the dirty tricks of a few petty scoundrels!" Xiao Chengxuan jeered. "It seems the Ministry of Justice is staffed entirely by incompetents!"
Su Wei's expression remained calm. "Goading me is useless. You'd be better off speaking plainly. This case isn't my decision alone. The Three Judicial Departments held a joint trial and all found you culpable. Don't you have an explanation?"
He tapped the case file in his hand.
"The statement from the Ministry of Justice has also arrived. The man who killed Xu Jie confessed that he acted on your orders."
"Slander!"
