Seeing that Han Jian couldn't be woken up, Tian Qi turned back to the case and said, "Your Highness, the prisoner has passed out and cannot be woken up."
"Ah, is this not possible? It's only thirty blows. Isn't this man known as the number one killer in Yaozhou?"
The wise king Liu Jian was sitting on the chair behind the desk in the court hall, shaking his folding fan and looking at Han Jian with lowered eyelids in disdain.
"Hey, it's boring! I haven't even started the trial yet..." Liu Jian suddenly seemed uninterested.
Except for Tian Qi, everyone in the lobby was thinking to themselves, these thirty blows are not many, but it depends on who hits them. Can ordinary people's strength be compared to that of Tian Qi?
The happiest person was Magistrate Lang Xionglang. He was originally worried about what Han Jian would do under the interrogation of the wise king after he was captured, but now when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel happy!
Magistrate Lang secretly thought, if the wise king could beat Han Jian to death in public, it would be really easy!
"Tian Qi!"
The Xian Wang called out, then folded the folding fan with a bang, nodded slightly to Tian Qi, and motioned for him to come closer.
Tian Qi immediately came to the King Xian in two big steps, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness..."
Without saying a word, Liu Jian raised his fan and knocked it down hard...
"Crack!"
A crisp knocking sound was heard in the lobby, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Looking at Tian Qi again, he was hunching his neck and covering the top of his head, his nose and brows were twisted in pain.
"Your Highness, you... why are you hitting me?" Tian Qi subconsciously took two steps back. At this moment, he didn't even know what he had done wrong.
"Come here!" Liu Jian stared at Tian Qi, pointed his fan at the ground in front of him, and shouted: "Did you hear that? Come here!"
In front of many people in the lobby, Tian Qi felt very embarrassed, so he begged in a low voice: "Your Highness, wait until you get back to fight... okay?"
Liu Jian raised his eyebrows and his voice became louder: "No!"
Tian Qi cried out in his heart, but had no choice but to rub his head and stand back to where he was just now.
"Hand over!" Liu Jian said with a straight face.
Tian Qi grimaced and reluctantly moved his hand away from his head.
"Crack!"
Liu Jian hit Tian Qi hard on the head with his fan bone again.
Tian Qi instinctively raised his hand to protect the top of his head, but unexpectedly Liu Jian had a second blow, which happened to hit the back of Tian Qi's hand.
"Oh!" Tian Qi covered her hands in pain and shouted, looking extremely aggrieved.
Liu Jian shook his head and looked at Tian Qi angrily, saying, "Don't you know why I hit you?"
Tian Qi didn't speak, just shook his head aggrievedly, covered his head with his free hand, and rubbed the back of his sore hand against his waist.
Liu Jian said angrily: "You idiot! Who told you to attack so harshly? How can I, the king, judge people after they've been beaten like this?"
Tian Qi said naively: "But Your Highness, it was you who asked me to beat him so hard..."
"Oh! So, do you still blame me?" Seeing Tian Qi's retort, Liu Jian became even more angry and raised his hand to hit Tian Qi again.
Tian Qi was so frightened that she covered her head with her hands, but she still didn't dare to take a step back.
In the end, Liu Jian still didn't really hit it. He stopped when the fan fell halfway and waved his hand: "Go, go, you stupid head!"
When Tian Qi heard this, he quickly retreated away.
Then, Liu Jian suddenly stood up and walked out from behind the desk, and came to the unconscious Han Jian.
Tian Qi felt nervous when he saw this, and stepped to Liu Jian's side: "Your Highness, be careful..."
Tian Qi was worried that Han Jian deliberately pretended to be dead and deceived, which would cause harm to Liu Jian.
"Go away!" Liu Jian glanced at Tian Qi impatiently, pointed at Han Jian and said: "I've been beaten like this by you, can you still make a difference?"
Tian Qi said: "Your Highness, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst! These gangsters all have some unexpected plotting methods..."
Liu Jian ignored Tian Qi and began to walk around Han Jian. As he walked, he would kick Han Jian with his feet from time to time to see if he had any reaction.
"Come here, pour water on him to wake him up!" Liu Jian ordered.
Soon, someone brought a bucket of water from outside and poured it all on Han Jian's head.
But the situation was different from what he expected. When a bucket of cold water was poured down, Han Jian did not wake up, and was still lying on the floor like a dead dog.
Liu Jian lost all interest when he saw this situation. He glared at Tian Qi and said, "Look, look at your dirty tricks!"
Tian Qi buried his head in silence. At this moment, he also knew that it was best for him not to speak, otherwise he would have to suffer a few more blows.
Magistrate Lang walked slowly to Liu Jian's side, raised his hands respectfully and said: "Your Highness, the night is already deep, and the prisoner probably won't be able to wake up now. Why don't you lower your rank and imprison him first, and try again on another day?"
"Whatever!" Liu Jian responded casually, and then walked out of the lobby.
As soon as Liu Jian moved, Tian Qi quickly called his guards to follow him, and the group left quickly.
"Farewell to His Royal Highness, Prince Xian!" Magistrate Lang hurriedly followed outside the lobby and bowed respectfully to see him off.
As soon as King Xian and his party left the government office, Magistrate Lang turned around and shouted: "You two, take this person into prison immediately and keep him under strict supervision!"
"Yes, sir!" The only two government officials left in the lobby responded hurriedly.
--------------------------
Bai Yucheng was pacing back and forth in Lang Xiong's yard when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. As soon as he heard it, he knew it was Lang Xiong who was back, and he hurriedly greeted him and opened the door.
As soon as the courtyard door was opened, Lang Xiong appeared in front of him.
"Sir, how's the front going?"
Bai Yucheng had been worried about what Hanjian would do, and when he saw Lang Xiong, he couldn't wait to ask.
Lang Xiong said in a deep voice: "Close the door! Let's talk after we enter the house!"
"Oh, okay!" Bai Yucheng quickly closed and bolted the courtyard door, turned around and quickly caught up with Lang Xiong.
As soon as he entered the house, Lang Xiong noticed that the previously broken porcelain tiles of the water bowl had been cleaned up, leaving only a pool of wet water stains.
Bai Yucheng closed the door again at this time, and then ran over diligently to pour water for Lang Xiong.
Lang Xiong looked at Bai Yucheng and said in a low voice: "When I arrived in the lobby just now, Han Jian was beaten with thirty kills by King Xian's men. Before I started asking questions, he passed out. What do you call him?
I can’t even wake him up!”
Bai Yucheng was immediately overjoyed, and then asked: "Sir, where is the Hanjian man? He was not taken away by His Highness the King, was he?"
Lang Xiong took a sip from the water bowl, shook his head and said, "No, he's in jail!"
"Okay, okay, great!" Bai Yucheng felt much more relaxed instantly.
Lang Xiong put down the water bowl and said solemnly: "You are not dead yet, so don't be too happy!"
Bai Yucheng immediately took a step back, bowed and cupped his hands, and said resolutely: "Sir, let Yucheng handle the next thing!"
Lang Xiong nodded slowly and warned in a deep voice: "Remember, you must stay hidden!"
