Lord Xie had some interest in that lecherous old man mentioned by Qiuju, but Qiuju didn't know, and Scholar Chen was even less aware of these matters.
The only one who knew, Chen Ji, was already dead, and he died from his own poison.
Seeing that nothing more could be obtained from Qiuju, Lord Xie had the advisor place the charges before her and had her press her fingerprint.
He then announced that Qiuju would be imprisoned, awaiting sentencing at a later date, while the others, being uninvolved, were naturally allowed to leave.
Lord Xie struck the gavel and loudly declared, "Court adjourned."
Outside, the onlookers cheered, applauding enthusiastically for the truth revealed in the case.
Qiuju was dragged away, and the other people left the courtroom one by one.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were invited to the back office, where Lord Xie was waiting for them.
Concerning this case, Lord Xie expressed his gratitude to the two and then brought up the lecherous old man.
