The person who was speaking is the Bishop of the Department of Traditional Education.
The elder who just opened up his eyes was certainly very blank like he just woke up.
He looked around and then asked Xu Shi Ji, “Where’s the criminal?”
He knew the answer but still asked which made Xu Shi Ji’s face become covered with anger.
The Bishop followed everyone’s vision and looked towards the door and saw Chen Chang Sheng. As if he just realized, he said, “This little kid is a student of the Tradition Academy, I signed the paper myself. It shouldn’t be wrong. Even though he’s late, he shouldn’t be counted as a criminal, right?”
The soldiers looked towards Xu Shi Ji.
Xu Shi Ji got even more angry but he eventually confirmed the Bishop’s position.
Prince Chen Liu, feeling a bit helpless, explained to the Bishop, “Previously he spoke against the engagement.”
Bishop looked at the people, smiled and said, “Since there’s a part called Questioning the World, then obviously it should allow for people to disagree. If it doesn’t, then why would Prince ask before? If there’s no respect for the rule, then you can make the engagement as you want to. Why would you come to the Great Zhou to propose?”
