"Mr. Gu, let's not beat around the bush. You have been tirelessly working on the corruption case for several days. Now the court wants to close the case hastily. Are you really willing to accept this? Besides, those two officials are wrongly accused, surely you must feel indignant?"
Hu Maoshen looked at Gu Chengyu, but he suspected that Gu Chengyu must be hiding some evidence. Even if he wasn't presenting it to the Emperor immediately, having it might be useful at any time.
Gu Chengyu sneered inwardly; Hu Maoshen was actually using such tactics to test him. He found it somewhat laughable. Did he really appear to be someone with an overflowing sense of justice, unable to tolerate any injustice in the world? Perhaps these words might affect those newly entering the bureaucracy who are forthright, but for him, it was pointless!
"Mr. Hu, as you know, this matter is settled and cannot be changed. In my opinion, even if you're unwilling, you can only let it be."
