"You corrupt official, how dare you!"

The man beside him spoke slowly, a faint smile on his lips, but his dark eyes, as cold as a deep pool, were filled with murderous intent!

The county magistrate was startled, his obese body nearly falling off his chair. Questions swirled in his mind, and he couldn't imagine who would dare to address him like that.

Feng Beichuan slowly waved the folding fan in his hand. Today he was wearing a light green jade-ribbed fan. The fan ribs were made of jade, which looked even more gentle and smooth in his slender hands. Combined with his blue robe, he clearly had the demeanor of a gentle and refined gentleman, but his eyes were sharp as knives, making people feel intimidated.

"Regent, the Regent..."

The judge standing to the side was already pale with fright. It took him a long time to realize the man's identity. Although they had only met briefly, his imposing aura was definitely that of the current regent!

"Your humble servant greets the Regent."

Trembling with fear, the judge quickly stepped forward and bowed. He felt dizzy, unsure whether it was from excessive fright or from being overwhelmed by the man's aura. In any case, he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"Not bad, you do have eyes, but you still need a few more years of practice. How could you not recognize the eldest princess of Shengnan?"

Feng Beichuan chuckled teasingly, his eyes slightly narrowed, his nonchalant manner making it seem as if he were chatting casually.

"Your Highness, I have been blind and ignorant. Please forgive me!"

After hearing Feng Beichuan's words, the judge almost fainted. What incredible luck he had today! The regent had come, and now a princess had arrived. It seemed he would have to offer incense to the Buddha when he got back.

At this moment, the once imposing county magistrate was now slumped in his chair, his face ashen with fear. After a long while, he suddenly came to his senses and scrambled to Feng Beichuan and the other man, kneeling down and kowtowing deeply. He was now praying to the gods in his heart, hoping that they would bless him to return home alive today.

"Oh, I can't accept such a generous gift!"

Feng Beichuan's words were filled with undisguised contempt, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted as he looked at the lump of something at his feet.

"This humble official deserves to die. I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Your Highness, please forgive me! Princess, please forgive me!"

Although he didn't know what crime he had committed, the county magistrate kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. His official hat was knocked off, and he lay on the ground in a sorry state.

"You dare to abuse your power against those close to His Highness? You deserve to die!"

As he spoke, Feng Beichuan kicked the lump of stuff hard, causing the man to scream and fall to the side.

A shoe print immediately appeared on his face.

Chen Sanshun had already helped Deputy General Sun up. The latter's buttocks were still burning with pain. Although he had only been hit a dozen times, his skin was probably broken. His pants were stuck to his buttocks, and even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.

But Deputy General Sun couldn't care less about that. With San Shun's help, he stumbled to Li Chang'an, looking ashamed: "General, I've caused you trouble."

Li Chang'an waved his hand, signaling him not to say so much nonsense, and then said, "There's something fishy about this. I'm afraid someone is behind it. Let me find out the truth before you accept your punishment!"

"Zhao Cai, we must get him to talk!"

While excitedly talking, Deputy General Sun went to look for the man, but after looking around, he couldn't find him anywhere. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that the man had run away?

"That guy got away pretty fast!"

At this moment, Cangyun appeared before everyone, dragging a person with a distorted expression. Beside him was a woman in red with a cold expression. This woman was none other than his longtime partner, Zhuque.

Zhao Cai was carelessly thrown to the ground. He opened his mouth, his face contorted in pain, but he couldn't make a sound. He seemed to be writhing in agony, as if his whole body was being stung by ants. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the aching and itchy feeling all over his body.

"How was it? Wasn't it great?"

As Cangyun spoke, he kicked the person curled up in discomfort on the ground. "It's a pity that the medicine's effects only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a cold gaze fall upon him from the side. Cang Yun glanced at Zhu Que, whose face had darkened slightly, and immediately changed his words, saying, "Uh, but even half an incense stick's time is already quite impressive..."

"cut!"

Zhuque rolled her eyes speechlessly, then, too lazy to pay any more attention to the person, slipped aside.

Knowing his partner's temperament well, Cang Yun decided not to push his luck and instead walked over to the county magistrate with a playful smile, saying, "You corrupt official, do you want to have as much fun as him?"

"What, what do you mean?"

The county magistrate knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

"It involves inserting five extremely fine needles into your head and limbs, so that you can experience the same tingling sensation as if thousands of insects are crawling under your skin. The feeling is so intense, it's like being in heaven or hell, and I guarantee you'll never forget it after trying it once..."

Cangyun was always a talkative person, so he patiently explained it to the county magistrate.

Only then did the county magistrate dare to secretly glance at the person still curled up on the ground. The ferocious expression on the person's face made him feel terrified. He then carefully considered what Cang Yun had just said. Suddenly, he was startled and felt an uncontrollable urge to urinate. He immediately felt his crotch was wet.

A faint, foul odor wafted out. Cang Yun, clearly not expecting this person to be so frightened that he wet his pants, quickly hid to the side with a look of disgust.

"Spare me! Sir, spare me! Regent, spare me! Princess, spare me! I was only following orders! I had no choice!"

The county magistrate began kowtowing to the ground again and again. Before long, his forehead was covered in bruises. But compared to this minor injury, he cared more about his life, so he continued kowtowing as if he couldn't feel the pain.

"If you are willing to tell the truth, I may consider sparing your life."

Feng Beichuan calmly waved his fan and spoke indifferently, showing no concern for the man's miserable state.

"I'll tell you everything..."

In order to leave alive, the man naturally confessed everything in detail. He had only received a letter and a box of gold at the last minute, and hadn't even seen the person who delivered them. But this kind of thing had happened before, and he understood that the person who was to be forcibly convicted and sentenced must have offended some important figure. He just needed to do his job well.

"You beasts! You are clearly abusing your power and bending the law for personal gain!"

After learning the truth, Deputy General Sun was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He thought that he was lucky to be saved. If it were someone without power or influence, wouldn't they have been wronged to death?
