Censor Huang Zongxi arrived in the main hall and first paid his respects to Emperor Chongzhen.
After the formalities were concluded, he addressed the assembly: "This August, while Commander Wang Zhixin of the Eastern Depot and I were overseeing mining operations in Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, a local wealthy landowner named Mr. Li approached me. He handed me a ledger detailing bribes and tearfully accused Commander Wang of extorting him. Before my very eyes and those of the Commander, he slammed his head against a wall and died."
"The specific details are recorded in the official dossier, so I shall not dwell on them here."
