Chapter 585: Nonsense

The individual dispatched ahead by the Public House was a shrewd middle-aged man flanked by two young guards, all evidently skilled in martial arts.

Displaying a confidential document, the middle-aged envoy asserted that he had been authorized by the emperor to assist Su Bin with the case. However, before Su Bin could thoroughly inspect the document, the middle-aged man swiftly withdrew it. A discerning glance from Su Bin immediately exposed the forgery. There was no room for speculation; these three were sent by the Public House to eradicate any incriminating evidence.

Despite recognizing their true purpose, Su Bin feigned ignorance of their identities and warmly welcomed them.

“Governor Li, please follow me.”

Su Bin took the initiative to present the confessions to Governor Li. After perusing them, Governor Li seemed perplexed.

“Have you interrogated all the captured bandits?” he inquired.

“Not all of them, but all the leaders have been interrogated,” Su Bin replied.

Governor Li scrutinized the confessions and probed further, “What transpired? These bandits exhibit audacity. Could there be another mastermind behind them?”

Su Bin had devised a strategy to handle the individuals sent by the Public House.

“The preliminary interrogations have unveiled a significant secret!”

Su Bin feigned excitement.

“Governor Li, peruse these confessions, and you’ll uncover the truth!” Two substantial stacks of confessions were presented, and Governor Li began to peruse them attentively.

A pile of confessions detailed the heinous activities of the true bandits: they had not only committed robberies and murders but also kidnapped several girls, compelling them into mountain captivity to serve as unwilling wives. The collusion extended beyond the mountain, involving individuals who were clearly documented.

The remaining part of the confession disclosed that these collaborators were affiliated with the descendants of the prior dynasty, with the bandit stronghold serving as their covert headquarters.

Upon completing the reading, Governor Li breathed a sigh of relief, finding no confessions detrimental to the Public House. Nevertheless, a sense of curiosity tinged with suspicion prompted him to scrutinize Su Bin.

“Have you interrogated all the leaders, both major and minor?” he queried. Su Bin affirmed, “I’ve questioned them thoroughly.”

Governor Li cut to the chase, “Did any of them attempt to smear the Public House during the interrogation?”

Pretending surprise, Su Bin responded, “Governor Li’s foresight is remarkable.

Indeed, there were individuals spreading baseless accusations!”

“These individuals, unmistakably tied to the previous dynasty, falsely claimed allegiance to the Public House. They asserted that the grand bandit lair was, in reality, the covert training center of the Public House.”

“Of course, I dismissed their claims and subjected them to torture. Predictably, midway through, they begged for mercy, altering their testimony. Now they insist they’re remnants of the prior dynasty, and the bandit stronghold served as a clandestine training ground for their cause.”

Governor Li continued to probe Su Bin, “Why did you doubt the bandits’ confessions?”

Su Bin replied earnestly, “Isn’t it evident that this is a fabrication?”

“The Public House holds the emperor’s utmost trust, gaining support for all its endeavors. If they intended to train guards, why resort to clandestine mountain training? Moreover, it’s too remote from the capital, making management impractical.”

“Only those from the prior dynasty, desperate and hidden, would seclude themselves in mountains, covertly honing death warriors, with hopes of staging a resurgence someday.”

“I believe these individuals have already fallen victim to the indoctrination of the remnants of the prior dynasty, and their loyalty lies firmly with them. Despite facing imminent demise, they cling to their distorted beliefs, refusing to divulge the truth, instead harboring delusions of implicating the Public

House.”

“I certainly won’t be swayed by such tactics.”

Governor Li commended Su Bin, saying, “Your understanding of the situation is astute.”

Su Bin, suppressing his inner reservations, stated, “Any reasonable person would see it that way..”
