When Shopkeeper Wu was woken up by a basin of cold water, he realized that he was already kneeling in the court of the Dali Temple.
The Dali Temple usually handled cases involving officials or relatives of the emperor. As a commoner, it was a blessing to be able to attend the court of the Dali Temple.
The minister of the Dali Temple was in charge of this case and sat in the court.
Xiao Zhonghua sat humbly at the side, not putting on any airs as a prince.
The minister of the Dali Temple slammed the wooden door. "Wu Fugui! How dare you! How dare you murder the Empress Dowager and His Majesty!"
Shopkeeper Wu was dizzy. "Sir… I didn't…"
The minister said solemnly, "You still dare to quibble? Someone! Give me the physical evidence!"
The official presented a few packets of medicinal powder he had taken from him.
