"Yes, sir."
As soon as Zhang Ji finished speaking, some constables went down and brought the man in black up. The constables forced the man in black to kneel on the ground.
"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
"If you confess truthfully, you may be treated leniently."

"Please, Lord Tang."
