In the morning court assembly today, an official impeached Duke Lang, saying that he was bullying others and had no respect for his elders. He actually imprisoned his mother-in-law.
He spoke at length, with spittle flying everywhere.
The old emperor had already received the memorial sent by Xiao Juan and knew the whole story. After listening to the passionate accusation of the speaker, the old emperor spoke slowly.
"Madam Jiang colluded with a wanted criminal and attempted to murder the eldest daughter of the first wife. The evidence was conclusive. Even she had confessed. Duke Lang was able to disregard his personal feelings and enforce the law impartially. He was really a role model for the civil and military officials of the Dayan Dynasty. Not only will I not punish him, but I also have to praise him greatly! I want the world to know that as long as you break the law, you have to be punished no matter what your identity is!"
