Chapter 266: Massacre_2

"First, I am not unable to protect my subjects; it's those who are both greedy and corrupt, those treacherous officials who mislead the country and the people, why should I protect them?"

"Second, following the previous point, the individuals whom Marquis Luting executed were all treacherous and corrupt officials; where is this talk of indiscriminate justice coming from?"

"Third, Wei indeed has its own laws and the imperial court has its rules. But if laws and rules cannot deal with those treacherous and corrupt officials, why should Marquis Luting need to take action?"

"Fourth, you are numb and indifferent, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the common people. Do you delude yourselves into thinking Marquis Luting is as insensible as you, indifferent to the hardships of the world? Who do you think you are? What sort of conscience do you hold?"

He slapped the imperial desk and chastised loudly.
