The county yamen was brightly lit, and a few people had just finished talking.

At a glance, they saw Zhou Ping'an sitting at the main seat with Xiao Chengfeng sitting next to him, and Yu Changlie standing solemnly to the side.
Standing with him were a few civil officials, shivering and standing quietly with their heads bowed.
"Where is Lord Ran?"
"Scoundrel Xiao, could it be that you colluded with outsiders, harmed Lord Ran, and usurped Pinghu?"
"No wonder it was calm outside the city less than half an hour after leaving. It's utterly outrageous! Lord Ran trusted you so much, yet this is how he ended up."
Some people roared angrily, while others wailed loudly.
"How dare you."
Xiao Chengfeng suddenly stood up, scolding as he rose.
