In the expectation of the spectators, a cry akin to the slaughter of a pig was heard, followed by angry berating and pleading for mercy. A bruised and swollen figure was then dragged out from the county government office.
Gasp!
The moment the crowd saw the bulky figure, they were taken aback. Many recognized him due to his distinctive blue official's robe. However, at that moment, the robe no longer held any authority; instead, it had become a symbol of mockery and ridicule.
"Is that the County Magistrate!?"
"What magistrate, spit, look at that guy now, he's just like a pig waiting to be slaughtered!"
"You're right, he really looks like one!"
Laughter rang out among the crowd. Seeing the County Magistrate, who had exploited them for two years, being treated this way brought secret pleasure to many. They clapped and cheered. However, some were worried.
"What's this man's background? If he dares to abuse the County Magistrate this way, he won't have a good ending!"
