Chapter 15: Arrested

The news came at breakfast, from a Hanlin clerk who ran the whole length of the hall to deliver it.

"Champion Jing! The Court of Review sits in three days."

"It was twenty days," said Wenxuan.

"His Excellency the Minister has asked that it be moved up. The Emperor signed it this morning."

The clerk gulped air.

"And the Marshal is to be held at the Ministry until then. They went to the manor at dawn."

Wenxuan put his chopsticks down.

He had planned to spend the day sulking on principle.

He was out of the door before the clerk had finished.

The street outside the Ge manor was packed with people who had come to see a hero taken away.

Palace guards lined the front steps in two rows, in red coats, with a captain at the head of them holding a scroll.

At the gate, forty soldiers from the Hanlu garrison stood with their fists clenched.

Their eyes were full of murder, and not one of them moved.

"Stand down," said a voice from the door.

It was low and calm, and it was obeyed instantly.
