After crying out a few sentences about injustice, Chen Hong briefly described what had just happened…
After listening to him, whether it was the nine Elders or Chen Zhiyi, all were stunned; they truly hadn't expected the matter to be so complex, with so much insider information involved.
Although the details Chen Hong provided were rather unusual, he had already admitted to planting explosives and planning to attack Sima Nan, then framing Chen Tang. Naturally, there was no need to continue lying or making excuses.
Not one of the nine Elders doubted him; they all believed him on the spot.
"You rascal, this is a serious matter; how could you not consult with the Elders or me?"
A look of indignation appeared on Chen Zhiyi's face, and he kicked Chen Hong, his face full of remorse: "Had I known there were such insider dealings earlier, I wouldn't have let it go so easily just now. We must have dragged Chen Tang into this, alas, a missed opportunity."
