He was only fit to be beaten.
"Gu Zhixing, you assaulted a high-ranking official of the imperial court. If I die, can you bear the responsibility?" Shen Huaixu roared.
Half of his face was numb from Gu Zhixing's blows.
"What happened? What happened to everyone?"
People gradually gathered in the courtyard; officials from Yanzhou had been congregating in the government office during this period.
With such a commotion here, they naturally heard it all over there as well.
Once everyone was there, they all came over to see what was going on.
This was quite a sight! A petty thief was actually beating a government official sent down from the imperial court, and right there in the government office!
If you didn't know better, you'd think the world was in chaos and there was no law anymore!
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go save Lord Shen!" an elderly official said kindly.
But no one around dared to move.
It's one thing if others don't dare to move, but even Shen Huaixu's own personal guards don't dare to move, which makes people start to doubt the identity of that petty thief.
"Even if I kill you, who can do anything to me?" Gu Zhixing's voice was cold.

Even if he beats himself to death here today, no one will dare to say a bad word about him.
"Aren't you going to care about Shen Jintang anymore?"
Shen Huaixu roared out.
Gu Zhixing's fist came to an abrupt halt.

"West of the city."
When Shen Huaixu uttered those two words, Gu Zhixing wished he could skin him alive!
He actually sent Shen Jintang to the west of the city.
Putting aside the fact that they are now cousins, just consider how much Shen Jintang has helped him during this time, and even saved his life.
But what about him?
Is this how he treated Shen Jintang?
The plague is rampant in the west of the city, and the supply of herbs and doctors is limited. Moreover, Shen Jintang has made many enemies in Yanzhou. Throwing Shen Jintang to the west of the city at this time would be tantamount to taking her life!
