In front of the yamen.
Yang Zhengshan had only waited a short while before Wu Hai hurried over at a run.
He had already asked about the whole course of events and wanted to report the details to Yang Zhengshan.
But Wei Cen came with him as well.
"You're back this quickly?" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise when he saw Wei Cen arrive.
"Mm. The Regional Commander asked me to give you this!" Wei Cen wasted no words and directly handed the wooden box to Yang Zhengshan.
Yang Zhengshan was even more surprised. Lü Hua had actually sent him something.
Though he did not know what was inside, the box was made of sandalwood.
Could there be something good in the box?
Yang Zhengshan opened the box, only to find that what was inside was not some good thing he had imagined, but a pardon decree.
A pardon for Third Master Liang!
Holy shit!
Incredible!
Yang Zhengshan was truly shocked.
The Liang Family had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. If judged by the crime, it was a grave offense punishable by exterminating nine generations.
And though Third Master Liang had left the Liang Family, he was still a member of the Liang Family. If nine generations were exterminated, he absolutely would not be spared.
Originally, Yang Zhengshan had still been thinking that after the Secret Martial Guard finished handling the case and began assigning guilt, he would plead with Lü Hua, or ask Zhou Lan to think of a way.
He never expected that Lü Hua would actually prepare a pardon decree for him in advance.
This pardon decree required the Old Emperor's approval. Lü Hua could actually get his hands on such a thing!
Yang Zhengshan was truly shocked.
But immediately afterward, he figured it out.
