The sound was loud and resonated in the hall, making people's heads buzz.
The person he impeached was actually the Prime Minister. This kind of thing has happened before, but it has become rare in recent times. Everyone knows that this kind of impeachment without evidence is meaningless.
But it sounds like Tang Shun has detailed evidence of his guilt.
