Chapter 228: Eunuch Zhang, You Take Care of It

The Emperor sat on the dragon throne with an expressionless face, while the court below was abuzz with noise.

In the middle, Xie Qun knelt in white clothes, having shackled himself to plead guilt and ask for punishment.

Eunuch Zhang watched as His Majesty's brows furrowed tightly, so much so they could almost kill a fly, and he discreetly stepped back.

At a time like this, it was better not to step forward, lest one gets caught up in trouble when the city gate catches fire.

"That's enough!" the Emperor suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the wailing ministers in the court fell silent.

"Has the Dali Temple been following procedure in conducting and investigating cases?" the Emperor asked, looking at Xie Qun.

Xie Qun knelt on the ground, the chains on his hands clanging as he spoke resolutely, "Since taking up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, I have handled thousands of cases, large and small, and have acted strictly according to Dawei's laws."
