Alas!
He Qia sighed long and deeply.
He wanted to fight in Xinzhou, not ascend to court in Andu.
"Summon forth, bring the Zhang brothers to the hall,"
He Qia had no yamen runners under him, only soldiers armed to the teeth, looking quite fierce. However, when the Zhang brothers were brought forward, not a trace of fear could be seen on their faces.
"Feng Shi'er Niang is framing us!"
"Lord He, we haven't killed anyone, we are wronged,"
A crowd of onlookers surged outside the hall.
People craned their necks to get a look inside, many of whom were villagers from Huaxi Village.
Before He Qia could speak, an uproar started from outside.
"I testify, the Zhang brothers killed a man!"
He Qia, "Quiet! Quiet."
The crowd fell silent.
He Qia glanced at Feng Yun standing beside the hall, and the witnesses present at the time, Jin Ge and Kong Yun'e, as well as several villagers from Huaxi Village, and asked coldly:
"Did you personally see Zhang Erbing murder Tie Ma?"
