Although the officials in the court hadn't met this person named Hu Shu, they had heard of the name. After all, he was a Fifth Grade Military General defending the frontier; when it was heard that he had defected to the enemy, Xu Guozhong, in the name of the Emperor, executed Hu Shu's entire clan.
Although there was still the step of confirming identity to go through, the civil and military officials did not doubt that the head in the box was Sun Shu's.
After all, Chen Mo had no reason to deceive them on such matters.
Even if they were not on the same path as Chen Mo, as members of the same clan, Chen Mo's forces successfully fended off Jin Xia, claiming victory in the first battle, which was something worth celebrating.
