Chapter 96: A Single Imperial Decree Changes the Winds of the Realm
"Whether you're involved or not isn't for you to decide. It's for this official to decide."
The Imperial Censorate sent from the Sacred Capital this time was not a member of the Spring and Autumn Brush lineage. In fact, he was not even from the Confucian school.
He came from the Legalist tradition.
Thin and gaunt, with a pale complexion and narrow eyes, he gave off the unmistakable impression of someone who was exceedingly difficult to deal with.
"Now, recount everything that happened inside the Imperial Mausoleum. Slowly and truthfully."
The censorate spoke coldly as he lit a glazed crystal lamp beside him.
He did this every time he conducted an interrogation.
From Fang Xun's memories, Li Shun recognized the lamp's origin.
It was a specialized Legalist interrogation artifact known as the Heart-Illuminating Lamp.
