Thousand Miles Walk Chapter 53

Levi had already found out how much Griffin could deny when he was interrogating those former Qian'an officials.

Levi was also unable to get over it. He knew that Griffin had not had a easy life in those years, but he still wanted to ask, how difficult it was.

The two officials came from humble backgrounds, had no foundation, and were timid. When Levi summoned them, they were frightened out of their wits. At first, they answered everything asked and did not dare to hide anything.

Levi wanted to cover up for Griffin, so he had to have a reason. Levi deliberately guided her, and asked directly without questioning: "Is this money a bribe, or is it the fief that the King of Qian'an should have originally had?"

Levi originally wanted to give these officials a way out, so that they would not be implicated and then blame Griffin, and thought of an excuse for them. Unexpectedly, the two officials looked at each other and trembled as they heard it: "Your Excellency, please understand! Qian'an is located in the border area, and the land is barren. It can't afford to support the royal palace. After the disaster a few years ago, there was a severe drought. For several years, the people of Qian'an have been relying on the court for relief. How can they have land and towns? When I was in office, I was trembling with fear all day long. I didn't dare to forcibly take the land and towns, and I didn't dare to neglect the prince. I really had no choice!"
