Xu Jing was silent for a moment but eventually asked someone to fetch paper and pen, so Lin Chengzhao could list everyone who knew about the secret tunnel.
Regardless of the situation, the only lead they had pointed in this direction, so they could only start investigating from here.
After Lin Chengzhao left, Cheng Xiao, who was following beside Xu Jing, couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what if that scoundrel is hiding something?"
Xu Jing took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table next to her and said calmly, "He wouldn't dare. I told him that if he assists the yamen in solving the case, it will be considered as atoning for his crimes. He has committed such a grave offense; there's no way he can escape punishment. But if he makes one last desperate effort, he might still be able to secure some consideration for himself.
The Jiang Family has abandoned him now, and ironically, the only people he can rely on are us, whom he once considered enemies."
