Mr. Sheng laughed in fury. "So, in your view, these common folk from Guyuan County traveled all this way to the government office just to slander you and let off some steam?"
Mr. Sheng's gaze was like a sharp sword, as if it could pierce countless holes through a man.
One glance was all it took for Cui Junrong's mind to go blank. His heart pounded so fast it felt like it would leap out of his throat.
But even at this stage, he stubbornly refused to yield. "That's right. They're just jealous of me."
"Jealous of what? Your empty head? Your petty, narrow-minded nature? Or that your writing is so dreadful it's unreadable!"
Mr. Sheng roared, slamming his gavel. "You criminals! Are you still not going to confess?"
Cui Wei was more composed. Though his forehead was beaded with cold sweat, he gritted his teeth and said nothing. Cui Junrong, however, was younger, and his legs were trembling so hard he looked as if he might die of fright.
