Bab 373: Confess

King An pondered for a moment, then he slowly nodded and said, "Alright, for the sake of them being so righteous, I'll dismiss their punishment! … Since all of you left the residence without any authorization, each of you will be penalized a thousand taels of silvers, if this happens again, you'll be banished from the Imperial Residence!"

"Yes, Royal Highness!" Zheng Lide replied in a respectful manner, he dared not show any hint of unhappiness.

King An asked faintly, "Will the rest of them refuse to comply with my punishments?"

"They dare not," Zheng Lide quickly replied.

"If anyone can just transfer you like that, then why do I need you? … No more next time!" said King An.

"Yes!" Zheng Lide answered respectfully.

King An waved his hand, he looked rather lethargic.
