A pot descends from the sky.
This blame, whether you want it or not, you have to bear.
Yang Zheng faced County Magistrate Cai's resentful gaze, pondered for a moment, and said, "According to Da Liang Law, the crime of great disrespect can lead to execution."
County Magistrate Cai shivered all over, his outrage turning into terror.
Steward Cai was also shocked, knocked his head three times, and pleaded for the former master: "County Magistrate Cai spoke disrespectfully about the Commandery Princess, committing a grave mistake, but the crime does not warrant death. I beseech the Commandery Princess to be lenient and spare County Magistrate Cai's life."
County Magistrate Cai struggled to open his mouth, but only produced mumbled sounds. He tried to kneel but was held tightly, especially by the trusted aide on his right who had punched him, whose gaze was fierce, ready to strike again at any moment. He moved a bit but dared not move further.
