If it were a matter of just judgment, and sufficient evidence is presented, leaving the Empress and both Commanders speechless, then that would be acceptable.
But if the evidence is insufficient and a severe punishment is meted out, that would be disrespecting the Empress and both Commanders.
"Does Imperial Master intend to severely punish these three?"
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the value of these mutant beast materials can't be accurately measured, could it be they are merely ordinary materials? How can Imperial Master be sure that these three have indeed committed a serious crime?"
Imperial Master glanced at him and said, "These three hold high positions, and after a hard journey back from Eternal Night, would they secretly hoard these mutant beast materials just to earn this bit?"
Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, then suddenly smiled, "I guess their defense is personal interest, so they hoarded it privately?"
