Moments later, Tan Si finally came on a stretcher, accompanied by his mother's father who was present in the courtroom.
As soon as they arrived, the trial was opened by Tan Siaw, Tan Siaw immediately said out loud.
"The trial is open now..!"
"Hope the prosecution can come forward, to deliver on his demands.."
Upon hearing the orders from Tan Siaw, Tan Si's parents, both of them, immediately came forward to convey his demands..
"Hope Your Highness, can give justice to what happened to our poor son.."
Tan Siaw immediately pretended to offset the reports from his brother and sister-in-law by saying,
"Tell me clearly, what really happened..?"
"Look, Your Majesty, according to the story of some of our son's friends, who were present at the scene."
"Son Xiong Yi and that woman, yes that child, she caused our son to be like this.."
Tan Siaw nodded slowly and said,
"Try to explain how it happened, so that your son could be like this..?"
"If your son could give you a direct testimony, it would be much better.."
Mother Tan Si pretended to sob and said,
"Sorry, Your Majesty, after that incident, our son was shaken by his soul and body.."
"He cannot speak, nor move, so he cannot bear witness.."
"If Your Majesty wants a witness at that location, Your Majesty can bring some children who were present there with our son.."
"Whoever they are, say it.."
Said Tan Siaw.
"Long Ji, Long Sam, A Hau,.A Chun, A Lai, A Mien the six of them could be witnesses, for what happened to our poor son.."
Said Mother Tan Si quickly.
Tan Siaw immediately turned his head and said,
"You may go invite the witnesses here.."
Not long after, the six witnesses were invited to come to the courtroom.
The first person to come forward to give his testimony was Long Ji.
Long Ji was a 12-year-old responsible youth, the first person to bully Yu Ming, not allowing his passing.
Then told him to take the road through the rice fields and swamp.
Long Ji immediately went forward to tell him that they were playing marbles on the road, which Yu Ming was about to pass.
They had already relented letting Yu Ming pass by, by temporarily stopping, their marbles game.
But Yu Ming while passing through their marbles, Yu Ming deliberately kicked their marbles until they fell into the rice field.
For this reason they made a fuss and forced Yu Ming to go down into the rice fields, looking for and returning their marbles, which were kicked by Yu Ming to be lost in the fields.
But Yu Ming was unwilling so there was a mouth spat.
Yu Ming finally said, They are not men, daring to rely only on the crowd.
If they are male, please face him one by one, if Yu Ming loses, Yu Ming is willing to go down, to find and return the marbles they fell there.
Yu Ming then chose Tan Si who was as big as him, to be his opponent.
Finally they both fought one on one, until they both splashed into the rice field.
There Yu Ming immersed Tan Si, until it became what it is today..
Said Ling Ji finishing his beautiful essay story, according to what they had all planned together.
In a row, the others separately came forward to tell stories, they all gave the same story.
Siao Cui felt that this was a trap story, designed for his son.
He seemed to listen with emotion.
He was repeatedly dissatisfied and wanted to interrupt her.
But he was always reminded by Tan Siaw, not to mess up in the courtroom.
After the six of them finished their testimonies, Tan Siaw turned to Siao Cui and Yu Ming, with a cold face saying,
"How ? is Madam Xiong and her son willing to admit his mistake..?"
"What mistake..!?"
Siao Cui asked back as he stood up with an annoyed face.
"Miss Xiong for the sake of looking at 'your father-in-law's face and your husband's face.."
"I've given up so many times.."
"Try being polite, otherwise don't blame me for your punishment for messing up in the courtroom..!"
Snapped Tan Siaw with a fierce face, full of intimidation.
But Siao Cui did not back down, he instead pointed towards Tan Siaw's face and said,
"Only on the basis of false testimony, which you have arranged, will we confess wrong.."
"Is that how your trial works..?"
"When that's the case, we'd better continue the trial at the city level.."
"If we have to take it before the glorious King of Wu, Ji Fa, in the capital, let him decide.."
Siao Cui said.
"Brakkk..!"
Tan Siaw kicked down the table with a wooden board in front of him, loudly and bellowed,
"How much guts you Siao Cui have, you dare to demean the authorities at the trial..!"
"This arrogant woman's bodyguard, carry out finger-pins and butt-stoning punishments 100 times..!"
Snapped at Tan Siaw while pointing at Siao Cui angrily.
Yu Ming would naturally not allow that to happen to his mother.
As the bodyguards moved forward, Yu Ming immediately came forward in front of his mother and said,
"I do, of course I will be responsible..!"
"Can't involve my mother..!"
"That's very unfair..!"
"If this thing comes out, I'm sure His Highness Tan doesn't want this either..?"
Said Yu Ming with his calm and surprising demeanor, to a child of his age.
Tan Siaw so swallowed his own saliva, seeing the courage and authority that radiated from the child's body.
Finally he flicked his hand, giving the code for his guards to retreat back to his place.
Then he looked back hard at Yu Ming and said,
"Okay, your mother's attitude I just forgave.."
"I assume it's the normal reactive attitude of a mother who wants to protect her child.."
"You said you dare to take responsibility.."
"Now I ask you, are you ready to admit your guilt and ready to accept punishment ..?"
Yu Ming smiled calmly looking at Tan Siaw with his pair of innocent eyes and said,
"Before I admit wrong, may I speak a few words, with all those present to sue me.."
Tan Siaw furrowed his brows for a moment, then he took a sitting position leaning back and said,
"Please.."
Yu Ming first stepped over to Tan Si's mother and said,
"Was she really saying Tan Si, now she can't move and talk..?"
"Please tell me, who's the healer who checked Tan Si..?"
"Can he be presented to testify..?"
