Prefect Cao's face had darkened just now, and a single sentence about the laws of the Jin Dynasty put him on a pedestal.
The words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat, unable to come up or down.
However, he couldn't just sit idly by when his own family members were wronged. They were just troublemakers; he had plenty of ways to make them confess.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Take him back to the yamen first, whatever it is."
"Take the person away."
At the command of the head constable, someone stepped forward and tied her up.
As Song Ning walked, he shouted into the crowd, "Gentlemen, if I don't get out of the yamen today, it means I'm not afraid of power and I'm sacrificing myself for righteousness. Whoever can help me go to the capital to file a complaint with the officials will have my shop!"

"What crime have I committed?"
The Su family stood by, trembling with fear. They had lived in Huzhou their whole lives and had never seen such a tough person.
