Feng Zheng looked at the two people who were executing him, feeling proud that his father still cared about him. One was a sickly person, and the other was thin, and it was obvious that they had no strength. So he was not so worried. He lay there humming a little tune, not taking the two men seriously at all.
However, he also secretly memorized their appearance. No matter what, he would make anyone who dared to hit him pay the price.
"Master Jing, Ye Feng's costume really looks like the real thing. Feng Zheng is probably in trouble." Wen Yuan gloated and said in a low voice.
The first blow was delivered by the thin scholar, who used 80% of his strength.
“Bang!”
Feng Zheng's expression changed slightly. This blow was not too light, but he could still bear it. Feng Zheng immediately turned around and looked at the thin scholar, his eyes full of warning.
The scholar didn't care and didn't even look at Feng Zheng.
It was Ye Feng's turn, and every time he was hit by the board, there was a howl.
"ah!"
Feng Zheng broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
Hearing the scream, people around started talking.
"I don't think he used much strength. This rich young man is different. He has never suffered hardship, but he screamed like this at such a small pain."
"That's right. When I saw other prisoners being beaten with a stick before, the officer would raise the stick high up before hitting them. That was really painful!"
Prefect Feng also heard his son's cry and thought that the two people he chose were not strong men, and his son was really good at pretending.
Before Feng Zheng could recover from the blow, the next one came. The two of them seemed to be competing to see whose hit would make Feng Zheng scream the loudest.
Many people thought that the punishment was not severe and that Feng Zheng was being too pretentious.
Feng Zheng wanted to die at this moment. This beating was too painful!
"Ah! Dad, save me! It hurts so much! Ah!"
When Magistrate Feng heard his son's increasingly miserable cries, his heart ached. Feng Zheng was his late-born son, a son he had only had after having several daughters. He valued him very much and had given him everything he wanted since he was a child. How could he have been treated like this? Thinking of this, he looked at Su Chenyu and Wu Sanniang, who were the cause of all this, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
Gradually, the screams became weaker and weaker. Feng Zheng's face turned pale, and his eyes were bloodshot and red, looking extremely scary.
"Thirty lashes already! Young Master Feng can't take it anymore! There are still twenty lashes left!"
"Look! Master Feng seems to be vomiting blood!"
When everyone heard this, they looked carefully and saw that blood was flowing from the corner of Feng Zheng's mouth and dripping onto the ground.
When Feng Zhifu heard this, he could no longer sit still. He immediately walked down and pushed aside the crowd to take a look...
He saw that his son's eyes were rolled up, revealing only the whites of his eyes. His face was frighteningly pale, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. Only then did he realize that his son's screams were not fake.
"Stop! Stop it now!" Magistrate Feng shouted immediately, his eyes fixed on the two people beating his son, and asked, "Are you pretending?"
"Ahem... ahem... sir, what do you mean? Ahem..."
Su Chenyu smiled faintly and said, "Prefect Feng, you personally selected these two people, and they're still twenty lashes short of being beaten! I don't think someone who beats people up is the kind of person who goes back on his word, right?"
Prefect Feng said gloomily, "Humph! Do you want to beat him to death?"
Su Chenyu said, "I think you must have encountered countless criminals being beaten with sticks while investigating cases. Have you ever seen anyone being beaten to death? They simply passed out from the pain."
Prefect Feng pointed at the two men and said, "They are not as weak as they appear. I have been deceived!"
Su Chenyu laughed heartily and said, "Prefect Feng, why don't you just say that Young Master Feng is spoiled and used to it, and has never suffered any hardship. He just got hit a few times and ended up like this? I think he just fainted, and it won't affect the next twenty strokes of the board at all."
Prefect Feng said, "No! We must ask a doctor to take a look. If something unexpected happens, who will take responsibility?"
Su Chenyu shrugged and said, "Okay! As you say! There are so many people watching here! The adults won't cheat."
With a gloomy face, Prefect Feng sent an officer to call for a doctor.
After a while, the doctor was pulled over by the officers and soldiers, running and gasping for breath.
"Help my son quickly and see how he is doing!" said Magistrate Feng.
"Yes, sir!"
The doctor calmed himself down and began to examine Feng Zheng.
After a while, the doctor said, "Your Excellency, Young Master Feng only suffered some minor injuries, and there is also..." The doctor hesitated here.
"Speak!" Magistrate Feng shouted in a deep voice.
The doctor said fearfully, "However, Young Master Feng has been overindulging himself in sexual activities, which has weakened his vitality. If this continues, I'm afraid he might not be able to have children."
Prefect Feng's face turned even darker. This was really embarrassing. He had only asked a doctor to treat his son's injury, but it turned out that the injury was not serious. The man's illness was clearly heard by the onlookers.
Prefect Feng asked, "Then why did he faint?"
"Your Excellency, this is probably Young Master Feng's first time being beaten. His body will be more sensitive to even the slightest pain, and it's normal for him to faint. Once the bruises on his buttocks fade, he'll be fine."
Su Chenyu said, "Sir, are you relieved now? What does this have to do with them? It was clearly Young Master Feng's own fault that he fainted!"
Prefect Feng had a sullen face and felt that the people around him were looking at him with a hint of ridicule.
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "Since the adults are silent, it means they agree. You two can continue!"
