LEGEND OF PRINCE OF YUE COUNTRY
COURTROOM
"Welcome Zhong San, Zhang Yi please sit down.."
li Ba said with a big smile.
His attitude was not as cold as their previous meeting.
Zhang Yi and Zhong San instantly paid their respects to everyone present.
With a compact they both said,
"The servant of the sinful official, came to receive punishment from His Majesty.."
The two of them dropped to their knees with their heads bowed in shame.
They would rather die, than live with the shame they are today.
Sian Sian directly advanced woke the two of them up and said,
"Today we have discussed it, which has passed does not need to be discussed anymore.."
"Today we invite you both here, because there's something important to discuss, and we need help from both of you to complete this task.."
Zhong San and Zhang Yi with their heads bowed said,
"Your Majesty both said we will definitely try to do well.."
Sian Sian gave two small books to Zhong San and Zhang Yi each one and said,
"The book I gave you contains a list of the names of the officials under you, who committed acts of corruption that harmed the people and the kingdom, for personal gain."
"The book that Zhong San is in the hands of is a list of names of Wen officials who commit corruption.."
"While the book in Zhang Yi's uncle's hands is a list of Wu officials who commit corruption."
"I hope you two can advise those who can be advised to change.."
"But what can not be advised directly in the action, the law in place without the need for a trial.."
said Sian Sian firmly.
"We're both ready to go.."
said the two men while paying their respects.
"I'll give you 7 days, 7 days later, we'll meet in the hall room of the palace shard."
"Please let the two of you take responsibility for this task.."
said Sian Sian.
"Hamba is ready to do it.."
they both said with their heads down.
A moment later they both said,
"Your Majesty is there any other duty, ? if you don't let the servant excuse me to go do the job.."
Sian Sian and Li Ba turned their heads towards Gongsun Li, waiting for her opinion.
After Guo Yun was nowhere in place, it was Gongsun Li who held the highest power in the Yue kingdom.
So any decision if he exists, should listen to his opinion.
Gongsun Li from the start just kept silent saying nothing.
He let Li Ba and Sian Sian complete their tasks and plans.
After the conversation was over, it was her turn to say in a cold voice.
"Zhong San, Zhang Yi, even if what happened is not your direct culprit.."
"But since they are your immediate family a little bit, you also can't escape from that problem.."
"Given your service to the kingdom, I will make an exception once.."
"But if it repeats itself, the law will be justly enforced.."
"Do you understand.."
Zhong San and Zhang Yi nodded slowly without daring to raise their faces.
They both realized, this punishment was included very lightly with the character of their queen who was always this firm.
If he had decided, even king Guo Yun was present, he would not be able to do anything about it.
"Thank You, Queen, I understand.."
answer them both with sweaty backs.
They feared the queen would behead the nine descendants of their clan, so the apocalypse was already the fate of their entire family.
Whether sinful or not, all will be affected.
This is not impossible, because this cold queen has done it several times.
So it is not new if the Queen again makes the decision.
"Well you two can back off, so this is a valuable lesson ."
gongsun Li said back to remind them once again.
"Thank you for the Queen's advice, the two of you will always remember it.."
they both saluted and then backed out of there.
Zhang Yi and Zhong San both often went alongside him.
Not a few of the two of them were instrumental in helping him handle the Yue kingdom, when Guo Yun was not in place.
Knowing the two of them were involved in a corruption case, Gongsun Li's heart hurt more than anyone else.
He also had more weight than anyone, to go punish them.
So he just decided to give the two of them a stern warning.
If later the day is still repeated, he will be lighter in heart, if you have to impose severe punishment on both of them as an example for the others.
After Zhong San and Zhang Yi left, Gongsun Li immediately said,
"Second uncle, our seven officials who are involved with Ying Zheng, lest they escape."
"Capture and imprison them all, their families put under house arrest.."
"Seven days later we decided their fate in the great court of the palace.."
gongsun Li said as he turned towards Li Ba.
Li Ba nodded and said,
"I'll leave this assignment to the secret bureau.."
"Test their work skills.."
li Ba said, before he and Sian Sian left before Gongsun Li.
Gongsun Li nodded softly allowing Li Ba to leave immediately to carry out his orders.
Once the task was conveyed to the head of the secret bureau, the head of the secret bureau immediately moved their men in motion.
It was not until one day that the seven officials and their immediate families involved were all sent to the palace prison.
They could neither escape nor fight.
Members of the secret bureau were fast-moving, and highly trained.
Without difficulty managed to subdue them without a fight.
In total there were dozens of people who were thrown into the palace prison.
Minister Yang Song and his son-in-law Zhong San's mother were also dragged by the secret bureau.
From the luxurious residence of Ms. Zhong San.
Mother Zhong San and her younger sister Zhong Ting repeatedly pleaded to face Zhong San's house.
But Zhong San chose to confine himself, unwilling to accept meeting them.
Zhong San did not want to interfere in the matter.
He had only sent his confidant Liu Cong Kuan to meet them.
He advised his mother and sister to go home.
Or if they insist, Liu Cong Kuan provides a resting place for them.
But since Zhong San's house is really very simple, while they are used to living luxurious and delicious.
The mother and son were eventually forced to return to their luxurious and comfortable home.
The two of them did not feel at home waiting at Zhong San's small, cramped and hot house.
Finally the appointed day arrived, seven days had passed.
Now in front of the main hall of the Yue kingdom, the palace's morning trial was underway.
