"Bring forth the court. This official would like to see just how bold he can be." County Magistrate Zheng suppressed his anger, ordering the commencement of the court session.
After a cry of "majestic," County Magistrate Zheng looked at the young man below the stand.
"Scholar Xu Qing, it is you who accuses Zheng San, a servant of this official?" County Magistrate Zheng slapped the gavel.
"Exactly." Xu Qing remained calm.
County Magistrate Zheng glared at him coldly: "You claim he stole a chicken from your home, do you have evidence?"
Xu Qing said, "It's all written in the statement, with both personal and physical evidence."
County Magistrate Zheng snorted, "Nonsense, he has been by my side all the time, how could he possibly go to your house to steal chickens and dogs?"
"Don't forget, my lord, not long ago, he had been to Golden Ray Monastery." Xu Qing spoke slowly.
County Magistrate Zheng sneered: "Indeed, you've come for that business. Don't bother causing trouble here."
