Wei Shu had yet to speak when An Ren interjected, "Your Majesty, this humble official has another witness!"
Heh...
The court today, it's more like a tribunal!
Were An Ren and Wei Jin so eager to nail Wei Shu to the pillar of shame before he could even open his mouth?
Emperor Yue's eyes flashed as he nodded and said, "Bring him up!"
In no time, the witness arrived.
It was actually Zhu Qianhu!
The same underboss who had followed Wei Shu on the bandit suppression mission last time, who had fawned over Wei Shu left and right, seemingly an honest man.
Yet today, as soon as he began to speak, he said, "Those villagers were all poisoned to death by His Highness!"
"His Highness had someone cook a pot of mushroom soup, poisoning all of those people to death, so there would be no external injuries! Then, they set fire to everything!" Zhu Qianhu bowed his head, not daring to look at Wei Shu.
