Those men picked up their whips and lashed them hard against the railing!

They quickly pulled their hands back from the railing!

"As expected of the governor's man! You're so eloquent and stingy; I almost believed you!"

“Ma Minghao and Ma Mingjie are the adopted sons of the Commandant of the Prefecture! You must know them! If you’re so capable, tell me our names.”

See! You can't say anything now!

"You guys are shameless! Look what you've done to Ma Minghao!"

"They actually dared to use his name to get away with it!"

"Looks like you guys are really asking for a beating!"

After they finished speaking, they picked up the keys beside them, dragged them out one by one, and tied them to the wooden stakes used for torture!

Ji Wenxuan was truly on the verge of tears!

He shouted as fast as he could, "I'm really not one of the governor's men! Ma Minghao! Ma Minghao! I, Ji Wenxuan, have come to find you!"

He shouted! And the people next to him shouted too!

"I'm not one of the prefect's men! If you want to fight, fight him! He was sent by the prefect to replace the commandery commandant!"

Hearing this, those people became even angrier, and the whips in their hands cracked loudly!

"Replace the Commandant of the Prefecture? You? You're just a lackey of the Prefect!"

"I'll kill you today!"

After saying that, he lashed out at Ji Wenxuan with his whip!

He used all his strength to deliver that whip, and it instantly tore his skin open!

Ji Wenxuan was truly on the verge of tears!

"Can you go ask Ma Minghao? If you just call him over, the truth will come out! I'm on your side, boss!"

"I am the magistrate of Huiwu County!"

“Call him over, and you’ll know everything!”

"We saved Ma Mingjie!"

"Why can't you people understand human language?"

"I'm here to help you!"

"Ma Minghao! You come out here right now! I went through all the trouble of bringing you back, are you trying to turn your back on me?"

Hearing Ji Wenxuan's angry curses, those people became even more furious. Just as they were about to raise their hands to continue hitting him, they were stopped by another person!

"How about we go ask Brother Ma again?"

"What if what this person is saying is true?"

"There's no harm in telling him!"

The man shook off his hand!

"What do you mean it's no big deal to say something? Look at how those people tortured Brother Ma! I can't be satisfied until those beasts are killed!"

Ji Wenxuan: "Can't you understand human language? If you're not going to call him over, can't you at least tell him that Ji Wenxuan is coming over?"

"How can you be so inflexible?"

"If you really kill me today, Shanping County will definitely be in danger!"

"Is this how the previous commandery officer taught you all?!"

Ignoring these words, the man slapped Ji Wenxuan again!

In the end, someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore and quietly went out to inform Ma Minghao!

The man who remained was still cursing, "You're good at spreading fear! Even if I kill you today, what can you do to me?"

"Someone like you wants to be our captain?"

"I'm telling you! We only have one captain!"

Meanwhile, those who were arrested along with Ji Wenxuan were now completely silent! Unlike before, when they were craning their necks and shouting that they also knew Ma Minghao!

Ji Wenxuan looked at the foolish appearance of the person in front of him and felt a little worried!

He suddenly realized that he probably wouldn't be able to lead these people!

Seeing that Ji Wenxuan remained silent, the man then went to whip the others!

I smoked for a while longer!

A man's loud shout came from the cell door: "Stop!"

"Zhang Fan, are you crazy? Didn't I say I'd deal with these people after I woke up?"

"You're just ignoring what I said!"

Zhang Fan walked over reluctantly!

"Brother Ma! I just wanted to avenge you, didn't I? If it weren't for you, I would have killed them all!"

"There's no need to wait for you to come!"

Ma Minghao pushed him aside and strode inside!

When he saw Ji Wenxuan on the verge of death, covered in wounds!

Enraged, he slapped Zhang Fan across the face!

"How did you beat him up like this?"

"Are you trying to kill us?"

"Since he said he knew me, why didn't he come and talk to me about it? Why did he make the decision on his own?"

Zhang Fan covered his face, looking completely incredulous!

"Brother Ma, you actually hit me for this prefect's lackey? Are you perhaps the prefect's lackey too?"

"Besides, you're not much different from me. I only call you Brother Ma because of the Commandant of the County!"

Who do you think you are?

"They really think they're something special."

"I'll hit him, what can you do about it?"

"He says he knows you just because he knows you? Then I must know the Heavenly King himself!"

"How interesting! I've noticed you've changed since you came back! Could it be that you also want to replace the Commandant of the Prefecture?"

Ma Minghao seemed to be meeting Zhang Fan for the first time!

How could you say such a thing?

"Are you crazy?"

"Forget it! I can't reason with you!"

He turned around and personally untied Ji Wenxuan!

Those who came with Ji Wenxuan, seeing this scene, had previously thought that he said he knew Ma Minghao in order to alleviate his physical pain, so they also joined in the shouting!

I only just realized that they actually knew each other!

Does that mean this person was never one of them from the beginning?

They were filled with rage at this thought!

"Ji Wenxuan! You're actually one of them?! Aren't you afraid the prefect will kill your sworn sister?"

"Yes! Don't forget your family is still in our hands!"

"If you want him to be safe, have someone untie us too!"

"Otherwise! You can forget about ever seeing them alive!"

Ji Wenxuan seemed not to hear their words, enduring the pain in his body, and followed Ma Minghao out!

"Ji Wenxuan! Release us all at once! Otherwise, your little sister's life will be in danger! They are your saviors!"

I never imagined you were such a heartless and treacherous person!

"Aren't you afraid of the governor's retaliation...?"

Ma Minghao felt a little anxious as he listened to their words!

"Lord Ji, what exactly is going on? Why are you here?"

Are they talking about Miss Lin?

"You've placed Miss Lin at the Prefect's residence!?"

"Are you sure everything will be alright?"

Ji Wenxuan shook his head!

"Don't worry! They'll be fine, but I'm afraid I'm in trouble!"

"That man was ruthless!"

"They're trying to take my life!"

"I'm starting to wonder if this person is deliberately trying to go against you?"

Zhang Fan snorted coldly from behind!

"I didn't even know who you were, and what are you anyway? You're up to no good!"

"You came here and immediately tried to sow discord between us!"
