After Zhang Yuanbin finished beating the drum, the court began.
When the Ji brothers became the defendant and were brought to court, they didn't kneel when they saw Zhou Changsheng.
Zhou Changsheng was wearing an official's uniform and hat. He walked out with a serious expression.
Sitting in the hall, he held the gavel and smacked it, saying, " who is this? "
Zhang Yuanbin knelt down and said, " I, Zhang Yuanbin, pay my respects to you, Sir!"
Zhou Changsheng asked again, " Zhang Yuan bin, were you the one who beat the drum just now? "
Zhang Yuanbin replied, " yes, my Lord!"
Zhou Changsheng asked, " who are you suing? "
Zhang Yuanbin said, " my Lord, the people I want to sue are Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan. They owed me 78000 taels of silver, but they reneged on their debt and refused to pay the fee. I have no choice but to ask you to make the decision!"
