Chapter 21 You Are Guilty(2/2)
Two drums sounded.
Kuaizhuangzao's third team of yamen officers were in place. The case was presided over by Sun Zhaohai, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, Du Jinliang, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Zhang Haitian, the deputy director of the Ministry of Punishment, was appointed as assessor. Trials like this type of three-division trial usually involve a wide scope, complicated forces or investigations.
It was a standard only for important members of the imperial court, but the Sun Mengwu case was too involved, and Princess Taiping's estate was involved, so everyone was cautious. After many discussions, a public meeting of the three agencies was decided.
Ascending to the hall!
"Bring someone to commit crimes against Lan Zhili."
In full view of everyone, Lan Zhili, covered in vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, came to the front of the hall with hand and foot shackles.
Fan Xiaodao couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that Lan Zhili was walking calmly without any trace of panic. He was completely different from the two people he met yesterday.
Sun Zhaohai asked: "Who is here?"
"Caomin Lan Zhili."
"Why don't you kneel?"
"Caomin didn't like to wear long johns when I was young, because my joints were not good."
Sun Zhaohai said sternly, "You are bold and unruly. If you come here and show contempt for the court, I will give you thirty blows first!"
thump!
Lan Zhili knelt down and said, "Lan Zhili, a common man, bow down to the great master Qingtian!"
"Do you know your guilt?"
Chapter completed!
