Consort of a Thousand Faces

this happened, he wouldn’t have coveted the Liu Family’s money and turned a blind eye to Liu Gang’s actions.

He trailed after Prince Yun as if he was treading on eggs.
I must perform well and show Prince Yun that I am actually still a pretty good County Magistrate.

Yun Ruofeng suddenly ordered, ”All of you, withdraw. ”

There was a moment of silence in the cell before the county magistrate rapidly nodded like he was crushing garlic with his head.
”Yes, yes, yes.
This lowly official shall take my leave now. ”

In an instant, everyone else besides Yun Ruofeng and the prisoners had cleared out of the cell.
The gentle aura that usually surrounding him had disappeared, replaced by an ice-cold disposition.

He then sat down on a chair at the corner of the cell and looked at those strapped on the racks in silence.
Even when he was seated, his overbearing aura was unaffected.

Liu Gang observed Prince Yun, and felt that the latter had something on his mind, but continued to remain silent.
It was this silence that was most tortuous to the ones waiting.

Eventually, he cracked and began to beg for mercy, ”Prince Yun, Prince Yun, this subordinate was really wrong.
May Prince Yun have mercy, have mercy. ”

”Prince Yun, please spare our lives. ”

”Have mercy… ”

Cries for leniency echoed in the otherwise dark and empty cell, with Widow Liu’s voice being the loudest of them all.

”Have mercy? What is there to have mercy on? ” Yun Ruofeng asked without standing up, but his voice sent chills down their spines.

”Prince Yun, this subordinate was wrong.
This subordinate should have been attentive to his duties instead of getting into illegal dealings and playing tricks.
Prince Yun, this subordinate does not dare to do this anymore. ” Liu Gang repeatedly said ”this subordinate ” in every sentence, as if he really thought of himself as a subordinate of Yun Ruofeng.

Yun Ruofeng stared at him, the smile on his face gradually fading.
His bright eyes were like sharp blades, capable of killing without a touch.

”You wanted to come onto that woman? ” Yun Ruofeng asked, his gaze remaining passive.
Although he hadn’t mentioned a name, everyone in the cell knew who he was referring to.
