"Don't... cough, cough, cough... don't listen to these... these corrupt officials..." Suddenly, the peasant lying on the ground said with difficulty, "They... they're just randomly arresting people, all to... to fulfill..."
"Damn it!" The arrest officer from Neihai County didn't expect this fellow to dare to say such a thing.
"You rebel! Spouting such deceit to confuse the crowd, trying to frame me? Shut your mouth now!" The officer, face turning red with anger, cursed while grabbing a wooden stick, ready to viciously smash it down on the peasant on the ground.
But as the stick was swinging down, it abruptly stopped mid-air.
It wasn't that the arrest officer from Neihai County suddenly had a crisis of conscience.
Nor was it that he couldn't bear to follow through with his action.
