Thump, thump, thump...
The rhythmic sound of the gavel drum echoed aloud.
A government employee quickly brought Su Pan'er to the foot of the Public Hall, waiting for the summons of the County Magistrate.
Although Su Pan'er had seen the Public Hall countless times online in the past, she felt it was very different from her previous imagination when she truly stood at the foot of the Public Hall.
It was impossible to see who was sitting in the darkened Public Hall. The only features that stood out were the large, neatly arranged shiny red lacquer pillars. On either side of the pillars stood men in black clothes, each holding a pole - the Yamen runners.
With a loud slam of the warning woodblock in the Public Hall: "Bring the suspect, Qin-Su's Su Pan'er, to the Hall."
"Powerful!"
The Yamen runners on both sides rapidly tapped their poles on the ground, Su Pan'er calmly followed two of them up to the Public Hall.
