Like wildfire, the news that the notorious traveller, Yu Xiaoguang who had caused the entire village a stir was captured, had spread across the village. But what's more, was the fact that he was brought in by Madam Hú, the mysterious woman who came to the village six years ago.
The village head arrived at the scene for the open trial, where Yu Xiaoguang's wrists were chained to his ankles, forcing him into a kneeling posture, with his chest puffed out.
Cao Zhong, took his seat on elevated ground, looking at the man beaten and bruised, he got a sense of satisfaction he had never felt.
The tone set by the villagers made things more interesting, throwing eggs and spitting out curses made it a fine trial in his eyes.
"You talked so high and mighty, look how low you've sunken now. Do you wish to plead guilty now?" He asked, resting his chin on his fist, glancing at the helpless man.
