After Li Jung Li was arrested, the Li family, especially Marquis Li, requested an audience with the Emperor. Kneeling day and night in front of the palace, Marquis Li and the rest of the Li family expressed their sadness. The imperial guards wanted them to leave but they refused to do so. Marquis Li was not a push over. He knew that they had to use the soft and hard method in order to force the Emperor to meet with him.
"Your Majesty!!! Oh, Your Majesty!!! This old official's son has been framed…. This old official hopes that Your Majesty will bring justice!! Oh… my poor son… because of father, because many people wanted to destroy your father, you have suffered…"
Behind Marquis Li were his wife and concubines as well as their daughters, and even the Li manor's servants were present, also kneeling on the ground.
"Please give justice, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please give justice!"
"Our Young Master is innocent, Your Majesty!!"
"Your Majesty!!"
