Jiang Pengji laughed coldly and asked, "Why is the chief's face so strange? Is it possible that this witness you speak of doesn't actually exist?"
After a few seconds, Wuma Shang's blank stare regained its light.
"No need to be rash. Let's see how you find your excuse when the witness comes with the testimonial, shall we? Lying to the crown is a crime punishable by death. I suggest that you consider your options."
While there was a sneer on Jiang Pengji's face, the rest of the ministers were only laughing silently.
After hearing that Jiang Pengji had gone from a district magistrate to a magistrate, they were indeed quite salty. However, being salty was one thing. They wouldn't dare speak up about it.
