Chapter 21: The Council

The Council hall was long and cold, and a hundred officials knelt in it with their faces turned to the door.

Behind the carved bamboo screen at the far end, someone in yellow sat without moving.

Dol-soe walked down the middle of the hall in a plain soldier's coat, with his hat in his hand and no cloth on his arm.

Ji-hwan walked three paces behind him in gray, with his second zither on his back.

Inspector Seong waited at the foot of the dais, in fresh plum silk, with a scented fan.

"Your Majesty's servants," he said to the screen, sweetly.

"Behold the hero of Cheongseong.

"He is a slave of the house of Ma, branded and illiterate.

"He lost the tally of the Northern Pass, and he ran from lawful arrest.

"His lover is a spy of the traitor house of Baek."

A rustle went through the rows.

"I would have you hang him this very hour," Seong finished, and he fanned himself.

The old white-bearded chief minister raised one hand.

"General," he said.

"Do you answer the charge?"

Dol-soe stepped forward.
