Hua Shunming appreciated the man's tact and stopped staring at him.
Le San announced, "If there are matters to report, present them now. If not, the court is dismissed."
The officials were speechless, thinking he might as well just kick them out directly.

After everyone kowtowed and took their leave, Cao Xiangqian dawdled at the back of the crowd.
He had intended to avoid everyone, but unexpectedly, Yu Ligao locked eyes with him.
"Mr. Cao, you usually leave the fastest after court. What happened today?"
"I'm getting older, and my legs aren't as nimble," Cao Xiangqian said, slowing his pace even further to put some distance between himself and the people ahead.
