"This kind of woman is despicable enough, and now she wants to frame Chuan for a capital crime and even disrupts the investigation of the officials. She deserves to be beaten to death!" bystanders said indignantly, chiming in.
Hearing this, the officials beat the reviled woman even more vigorously.
After changing her appearance, Su Qingyue saw Zhu Nengwen also among the crowd, quietly walked up behind him, and pressed lightly on his shoulder. He turned around in pain, glaring at her, "Can't you be a little more careful!"
"My apologies." Su Qingyue said with a smile, hurriedly leaving the crowd.
Meanwhile, the twenty brutal beatings continued, half killing Liu Xianglian, with her buttocks bloody and torn; she had long since fainted from the pain.
Liu Zheng's ten beatings, on the other hand, were still met with her screams.
