Although Wang Chusheng had already given an oral account earlier on the hall, Zhao Douan merely listened at the time and did not feel too much.
But now, as he personally flipped through the events recorded on page after page, Zhao Douan felt the thin paper had become incredibly heavy.
Framing, wrongful killing, silencing, rape, corruption, harboring enemies...
"Gao Lian..."
In Zhao Douan's mind emerged the image of the upright face of the governor; who would have thought that behind the scenes, he was no better than a beast in human clothing?
"Heh... everyone calls me a treacherous official, ruthless and cold-hearted, a man who everyone wants to execute, but in comparison... I'm practically as clean as Hai Rui..."
Zhao Douan mocked himself internally as he closed the dossier.
Suddenly, he lost any interest to idle chat with the two Gold Shadow Guards; he waved his hand:
"Thank you for your hard work. When I return to the capital, I will commend you."
