The Minister of Justice looked at Song Jingchen strangely.
Song Jingchen sighed and said, "Logically speaking, they are my in-laws and I should absolve them. However, as subjects, we can't bend the law for personal gain. Isn't that right, Minister?"
The Minister of Justice was silent.
Song Jingchen took out another ledger from his pocket. It recorded the benefits the Shen family had received when Shangguan Pu was in charge of the country.
Although they were all small profits, the Shen family would suffer if they pursued the matter.
Even the evidence had been prepared. If the Minister of Justice still couldn't understand Song Jingchen's intentions, he would have lived in vain.
"Earl Zhongyi is righteous," he praised against his conscience.
Putting righteousness before family? Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows and accepted it calmly, but he had no intention of leaving.
