After Lin Shuzhi sent away the master from the government office, he closed the door and asked Su Liang what she thought of the matter about the "three members of the Xiao Family committing suicide for fear of being punished for their crimes."
"Someone probably took matters into their own hands and the government played along, benefitting from the outcome." Su Liang said.
Upon hearing Su Liang's words, Lin Shuzhi understood who was behind it. He sighed but didn't say anything more.
Having decided to leave the academy for the capital city yesterday and witnessing the darkness of the official circles in Pingbei City again today, Lin Shuzhi lost his last hesitation. He wrote another letter to his two sons, asking them to send someone to pick them up.
