"Very well, since Lord Liu is so ambitious, I'll wait and see." With that, he stood up and returned the magistrate's chair to Lord Liu. The clerk quickly brought over another chair and placed it aside. Lord Murong sat down, sipping the tea offered to him by the clerk with both hands, and watched.
Lord Liu stood up, dusted himself off, bowed to Lord Murong, and then walked respectfully to the hall to sit down. He struck the gavel and said, "Young man, I ask you, did you accuse Hua Yuhe or Meilin Pass?"
Wang Fengyang said seriously, "It's Hua Yuhe."

"Do you have any evidence?"
“…My grandfather knew about this, but he was killed last night, and I don’t have any direct evidence now,” Wang Fengyang answered truthfully.

Right, there were no surveillance cameras or sales records in ancient times, so how can this be verified? Wang Fengyang is just a child; the government can disregard his testimony. After all, with all his family members dead, he could easily be manipulated by others to deliberately smear Hua Manlou. What can be done?
"This..." Lan Yamei was speechless for a moment.
