County Magistrate Tang spoke indifferently, "A district with a hundred households, how many people can there be in one household? You have lived here for generations, grown up here, yet you can't even recognize all the people from a hundred households. I am very curious, how were you elected as Chief?"
Cold sweat broke out on Chief Mo's forehead all at once.
County Magistrate Tang picked up the gavel and slapped it down hard, bellowing angrily, "Collusion between officials and civilians, shielding each other, are you challenging me, or is the entirety of your district contemplating rebellion against Great Jin?"
Upon hearing this, both Chief Mo and Chief Sun immediately fell to the ground, crying out fervently, "Lord Tang, we beg for mercy, we have no intention of rebelling at all."
Chief Mo turned his head towards Chief Sun and shouted, "Chief Sun, are you still going to shield your clansmen even now?"
