This thief is a prisoner detained in Jingzhao Mansion, and Zhu Yu naturally didn't want to interject; she was only responsible for uncovering the part of the truth related to the deceased.
The Capital Governor glared at the thief and snorted, "If you were so honest, you wouldn't have hidden the fact that you stumbled upon a murder for so long, keeping all of us in the dark!"
After saying this, he turned to the governmental officials and said, "Go find a few who can swim; search thoroughly in the water! Take this thief back to the prison!
If what he said today is true, we'll talk about making amends in the future. But if it's discovered in the end that this scoundrel lied again, give him a severe beating with the rod!"
The thief was so frightened that he did not dare to negotiate anymore and did not utter a sound.
No wonder the Capital Governor was so angry; he was now filled with suppressed anger.
