Chen Qiu no longer knew how she ended up at the government office; by the time she came to her senses, her father was already kneeling in the center of the hall, turning his head to look at her, inquiring with his eyes.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
Chen Qiu lowered her head, not daring to meet Chen Bing's eyes.
The hall was lined with officers on both sides, many people squeezed outside the courtroom, stared fixedly at what was happening inside.
With a series of sounds as the board hit the ground, Qi Lie came out dressed in official robes from the back room, sitting behind the desk.
He suddenly slapped the gavel, "Who is present in this court?"
Shu Yu bowed, "Wen'an County Lord, I accuse Chen Bing from Chenggu County of falsifying official documents for personal gain over thirty years ago."
Qi Lie nodded, as if he didn't know her at all, "Oh, it's the county magistrate. Someone, please arrange a seat for the Wen'an County Lord."
