"The steward is right, we must consider the other scholars." Magistrate Gu said to Judge Tang: "Let's go, I will personally handle this case."
With these words from Magistrate Gu, Gu Chengxian was doomed.
Judge Tang was very pleased upon hearing this. Previously, he had said things to support Gu Chengxian because he was afraid of offending Lord Lai. They were of the same rank, and Lord Lai had stronger backing, so it was not wise to offend him. Now that the magistrate himself was handling the case, it was no longer his problem, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Please, my lord." Judge Tang stepped aside for Magistrate Gu.
