Fletcher's Descent into the Abyss Chapter 95

Wei Huaigu, who was over fifty years old, was stripped of his official robes and turned into a prisoner in white. He was shackled and separated from Casper Xiao by iron bars. No one had abused him during the trial. His hair was neatly tied and his face was clean, but he had aged many years in just a few days and looked very haggard.

"The trial ended last night," Wei Huaigu sat on a chair and said to the two of them. "My confession has been submitted, and now I am waiting for my verdict. Do you have anything else to ask?"

"Privately embezzling treasury silver, reselling military rations, and poisoning border generals, these three are all capital crimes." Casper Xiao looked at Wei Huaigu, "Wei Huaixing was also dismissed and imprisoned, waiting for the hearing. Your Wei family's direct lineage has fallen, and two court officials have fallen. Why, are you so willing to let it go this time?"

"This time it's about Libei. Who dares to practice favoritism? No one can protect me." Wei Huaigu adjusted his sitting posture as if he was still sitting in the main courtyard of the Ministry of Revenue. He looked at Casper Xiao, "Your father has already left the mountain. , The emperor may not even dare to sleep these days. King Li Bei is still the same tough guy who knows how to beat people. "

"When you were filling the rations, you should have known that they were destined for Libei. Didn't you do it anyway? You weren't afraid that no one would protect you at that time." Casper Xiao took a step back and said, "To get these things into my brother's mouth, passing inferior goods off as good ones was only the first step. When the food arrived in Libei, you bribed the officials who inspected the granaries and had them deliver the food to the barracks with their eyes closed. This was the second step. Then you bribed the cooks of the Libei Iron Cavalry and mixed the poison into the food and gave it to the soldiers at the border. This was the third step."
