The examination hall was again silent. Prefect Shih furrowed his eyebrows, trying to remain calm as he carefully recalled everything he had done, "Sir, I await your evidence."
It didn't take long for Ding Jue to return, and this time he brought two people, a man and a woman. The man was dressed in ragged clothes like a beggar, while the woman was the owner of a tavern in the city.
Prefect Shih's pupils contracted upon seeing them.
Chang Zhi asked, "You are very cautious. I was troubled and even suspected I had miscalculated. Still, traces remain. No matter how careful you are, some traces cannot be erased. For example, you only drink the beverages from this tavern. And this beggar is interesting; every time you buy drinks from this tavern, this beggar appears in front of the tavern to beg."
Prefect Shih tried to calm himself, "These two people are trying to incriminate me. I don't know them."
