Xiang City was full of malice as they looked at him, continuously accusing him of his inhumane actions.
Today was the Grand Assembly.
Many officials were present.
Some uninformed officials, upon hearing Xiang City's words, couldn't help but harbor doubts about Chu Heng.
Though some didn't believe it, those slightly cleverer knew that this matter was indeed troublesome.
If those soldiers were indeed injured due to this, the injury was already a fact. No matter how Chu Heng explained, he would inevitably be embroiled in turmoil.
The reputation would be greatly affected. If he couldn't explain it clearly, though he had Emperor Xuanming's protection now, it wouldn't matter. But if one day the Emperor no longer wished to protect him, these would become evidence to be used against him in the future.
This matter, though still distant, might not necessarily happen.
