His lips quivered up and down, but no sound came from his throat. His vision darkened, wishing he could just pass out.
He shakily stood up in fear.
Cui Yun glanced at the time, then said calmly, "This blood pendant on Mr. Lu, as far as I know, could buy five Prefecture Mansions in Fengzhou, with your salary, I’m afraid it’s..."

Cui Yun remained unruffled: "As for your affairs, once I report to the Emperor, there will be Imperial Censors from the Procuratorate to hold you accountable."
"County Magistrate Liu, do not delay."
This meant he did not want to hear any nonsense from Prefect Lu.
County Magistrate Liu sat upright, banging on the table: "Dong Feng! Don’t you dare lie! Are you certain you didn’t kill this person?"
When Dong Feng saw Prefect Lu’s face turn white, he felt all was doomed.
