The three old foxes were successfully bound by Imperial Censor Zhou.
The reason: Collusion between officials and merchants, indulging in pleasure. (What an odd reason!)
Zhao Junyao and Xia Ruqing dressed up and acted as the other two imperial envoys.
In the courtroom.
A few old and fat, ornately dressed old foxes were tightly bound and kneeled in a row.
On both sides, government officials wielding intimidating sticks shouted in unison with the greatest volume, dragging out the sound: "Mighty…Vigorous…!"
Jiangnan Prefect Yu Qingbo sat upright in the courtroom.
To his left sat Zhao Junyao and Xia Ruqing disguised as a man, the two imperial envoys, while to his right sat the dissolute Lord Zhou Yu.
The two on the left wore expressions of solemnity, while Envoy Zhou looked as if he had committed a mistake.
Yu Qingbo was chosen personally by Zhao Junyao after dealing with the previous magistrate, Hou Yaozong.
