In the afternoon, the announcement board posted the official notice.
"Officer, what does this say?" One curious onlooker asked.
The government official read the notice aloud, but the official language was abstruse; many who listened were still at a loss.
"It's straightforward. Master Tan has discovered that Lord Li disregarded the life and death of the people, solely indulging in his own pleasures. He is now locked up in prison, awaiting further interrogation by higher-ups," the government official explained.
To put it simply, Li Zhengtian was in trouble!
"Such officials deserve to be locked up. We already have a hard time as it is, and they just stomp us down further."
"Yes, I knew he was no good from the first glance!"
"Wasn't Lord Qin arrested? Can he be released now?"
"Now that everybody knows Li Zhengtian is a scoundrel, surely it was he who falsely accused others. Lord Qin must be released now."
