"The Emperor has already said he trusts my character and has even assigned someone to handle this matter. Isn't that clear enough to you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have resorted to hiring a killer, would you?" Bai Ruozhu continued.
Madam Sun was stunned, her eyes wide as she stared at Bai Ruozhu, as if she could uncover a lie by staring hard enough.
"Believe it or not, I've said all I have to say." Bai Ruozhu finished speaking and turned to leave.
An officer came running over and said to Niu Butou, "Chief, someone has come to the Government Office to confess, claiming he was the one who bribed the killer."
Madam Sun jumped to her feet and rushed to the jail door excitedly asking, "Who? Who is it?"
"Kong Er, a servant from the Sun Residence," the messenger replied.
Madam Sun's eyes widened, "No, it's not him!"
