Huang An's actions quickly silenced the clamor of the people in the square.
His series of moves had already won the approval of everyone present.
"Fellow villagers, the day has turned late, the public trial conference of the first day is now officially over!"
Huang An announced loudly and there was a brief commotion among the people.
But it quickly quieted down.
At this point, they were also tired and needed to get home to prepare dinner.
"The public trial will continue tomorrow morning!"
His words resounded in more than half of the square and were quickly passed on from mouth to mouth, spreading out to the outer crowd.
Cheers and applause followed in waves.
Even people in the audience who were kin or victims of the accused were so grateful that they immediately knelt on the ground and bowed continuously in the direction where Huang An was standing.
The atmosphere in the square suddenly became exhilarating.
It seemed that the public trial was indeed a success.
