Mo Qingcheng really wanted to slap Liu Yongwang on the head. What was wrong with him?
Seeing that Mo Qingcheng remained silent, Liu Yongwang assumed she was somewhat frightened, and became smug: "Hmph, what's wrong with you? You vixen, all you have to offer is a pretty face. Now kneel down and beg this young master... ah..."
Before he could finish speaking, a small figure rushed up and started punching and kicking him.
The onlookers watched the spectacle with interest. The young master was ruthless and taciturn; to deal with such a rogue, one had to use extraordinary means.
Officer Ma and his yamen runners looked at each other in disbelief. "They can play like this?" they wondered. It seemed quite entertaining. So, the group rushed forward, kicking and stomping, until Liu Yongwang was reduced to a mangled humiliation, his cries of agony echoing throughout the town.
Suddenly, a strong smell of urine wafted over, and Shangguan Yichen retreated abruptly, his face full of disgust.
After realizing what was happening, Officer Ma gave Liu Yongwang a hard kick: "You've really got guts."
Liu Yongwang, his eyes and mouth slanted, lay on the ground, moved slightly, and cried out in unbearable pain: "You...you deserve to die!"
Qi Yuanwei frowned slightly: "Men, seize him."
Officer Ma was taken aback upon hearing this: "Sir, why not conduct a public trial here? What if we return to the county office... and this kid dies on the way? What if someone suspects you of tampering with his body? What will we do then?"
Everyone: "..."
Mo Qingcheng barely suppressed the urge to burst out laughing, while Bei Gonglan covered her mouth with both hands and chuckled.
Lin Feifei, however, was far less reserved, bursting into laughter: "Officer Ma is absolutely right, Your Excellency. There's nothing fun to do in our Yutang Town. You've had a hard time, Your Excellency..."
"..." Mo Qingcheng silently turned her face away. Where did this idiot come from? She doesn't know him.
Qi Yuanwei's face darkened. "Captain Ma and Manager Lin are a perfect match. They're much better than that weak bookworm. Should I, Your Excellency, play matchmaker for them?"
Lin Feifei was unaware that she had offended Qi Yuanwei with a single sentence, and that Qi Yuanwei was now eyeing her and wanting to marry her off to his honest and simple-minded constable, Ma...
Seeing this, Constable Ma stepped forward, pressed Liu Yongwang down, and kicked him in the back of the knee: "Why don't you confess honestly how you framed Madam Mo and implicated the magistrate?"
Onlookers: "..."
Mo Qingcheng and the other two: "..."
Qi Yuanwei: "..."
Liu Yongwang shouted that he was innocent and refused to admit it to the death. Out of the corner of his eye, Officer Ma caught a glimpse of a thin figure who wanted to leave quietly. After a moment's thought, he shouted, "Where are you going?"
Liu Xiaoming turned and ran, but someone grabbed him by the back of his collar, lifted him up like a chick, and threw him to the ground.
Officer Ma frowned angrily: "Why don't you confess honestly? Or the magistrate will cripple you!"
Everyone looked at each other blankly. "I was wrong," they thought. "Officer Ma is just not very bright..."
Liu Xiaoming's eyes darted around, but before he could speak, Mo Qingcheng said quietly, "Boss, give him the True Word Pill."
The crowd gasped in astonishment. A True Word Pill? That would mean...
Qi Yuanwei's expression changed drastically, his breath hitched, and he stared intently at Mo Qingcheng.
"Sister Mo, what nonsense are you talking about? The True Word Pill is priceless..." Lin Feifei immediately became anxious. Once Sister Mo said this, regardless of whether it was true or not, countless people would be eyeing it.
Bei Gonglan shook her head: "Sister Feifei..." Sister Mo has her reasons.
Shangguan Yichen stepped forward, pried open Liu Xiaoming's mouth, and stuffed in a dark, murky pill.
Liu Xiaoming's face turned deathly pale. He struggled desperately, but to no avail. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and the next second it felt like a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.
"My lord, I'll talk, I'll talk! I was forced into it. It was all the young master's despicable idea. He said... Madam Mo was born with such a seductive face. With so many bricks, she could earn more money and also scheme... scheme... scheme... scheme... against Manager Lin's... fiancé..." Liu Xiaoming's face was ashen. He poured out everything in a rapid-fire manner, explaining everything in detail.
Everyone was furious: "Liu Yongwang, why don't you just die?"
