"Sergeant Su, I was negligent before. I never imagined the people under my command could be so audacious."
Xu Mingchen bowed to Su Mu. "They not only dared to commit arson and attack an Official, but they also smuggled contraband behind my back."
With that, Xu Mingchen presented a ledger to Su Mu.
"Fortunately, Sergeant Su, you opened my eyes. After I conducted a thorough investigation, I found this record of all the illegal acts committed by the Xu Mansion's servants over the past three years."
Xu Mingchen placed the ledger down, returned to his spot, and stood with his hands clasped submissively.
"What they did, who was involved, and how much they profited—I've clarified everything. Sergeant Su will understand as soon as you look."
Xu Mingchen continued, "Although I was unaware of these matters, it was still a failure of my oversight. As for how the South City Bureau wishes to punish me, I will accept your decision completely."
