According to the supervisor's original words, if we are to arrest, let's arrest a leading officer, and let's not let a subordinate official take the fall!
"However, our house is most kindhearted and has covered up this affair, reporting to His Majesty that you all were pressured by that concubine, and only then did you indulge the Mao family!"
"Thank you, Supervisor."
The response from the Prefectural Magistrate Zeng was the quickest; he immediately stepped out and knelt in the hall, paying no mind to the strange looks from his colleagues.
The other officials involved in the Mao family's land encroachment case also had no choice but to step out and kneel to give thanks, and in an instant, eighty percent of the officials fell to their knees, with only a mere six remaining seated in their original positions.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, his gaze turning to the remaining officials.
