Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 157

The case of Sun Shangde involved many people, so Zhao Fu appointed the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to jointly try the case.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yu Chaosheng, the Minister of Justice, was expelled from the court and failed to enter the Dali Temple to investigate the criminal officials.

The Xingzhou case was an old case from 17 years ago, and it involved many people. It was not easy to try it out. Two months passed quickly, and before the Xingzhou case was finished, something happened in the northwest.

Under the cover of night, while the Liao people were still asleep, the Grand Marshal of the Army, Zhou Taishi, sent 30,000 soldiers to rush into the enemy territory.

That night, the sound of horses’ hooves shook the earth.
