Chapter 22: The Fall
The morning bell rang over a field of white snow and three hundred silent men.
Jae-ryeong walked down the aisle with Seol beside him.
Seol wore his plain grey coat with the sleeves rolled up, and no gloves at all.
Nobody had told him he could.
He had simply come out of the tent that way.
The cold had hit his bare hands, and he had looked at them and kept walking.
At the table sat the nine elders.
At its foot sat Master Mo, in a chair with iron on its arms.
His right wrist was in a splint, and a guard stood on either side of him.
He looked straight ahead.
Pil-gu stood at the center of the field in his fur-lined maroon.
He saw Mo, and then he saw the black lacquer book on the white cloth.
For a moment his face stopped being a face.
"Elder Han Pil-gu," said the old woman in grey.
She had taken the middle chair.
"Come forward. We have a book to read."
The envoy read it.
He had a dry, even voice, and he read it.
He read two entries, a jar and a flask, and the same jade crane stamped beside each.
He looked up.
"Elder Han. Your ring."
Pil-gu's left hand closed in his sleeve.
"A forgery," he said. "The Hall forges what it likes. This is a poisoner's book."
