People are unknowable!
Kong Heng's heart was still plagued by doubts.
He always felt that he couldn't fully trust Sun Qichen, who was standing before him.
When he got into trouble, many people tried in every way possible to clear his name by force.
Kong Heng believed this, as the Kong Family from Liuli City indeed had many loyal supporters.
Stirring up the situation for all to see so as to obtain a "fair handling" was advantageous for others.
As long as the matter could be handled openly and justly according to the law, many people could rest easy knowing they were hidden deep enough without sufficient evidence to arrest and try them.
On the contrary.
If Wu Jie were to handle the situation, Kong Heng would not expect to have good days ahead, not even knowing how he would die.
