to the Door of Creation.This is also the reason why Chiang Wenming didn't dare to kill Songxia dog directly.If you're going to take action, then you might as well eliminate the opponent's deities alo...Wang Gui had a guilty conscience and was nearly scared out of his wits by this statement. Although he was timid, he was an extremely clever person.

Deep down, I knew my little secret stash was a precarious balancing act. The food had already been secretly moved to a private storehouse, with no room for error.

If he confessed directly, there would be no way out for him. So he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

Seeing this man remain silent, Jin Fatty let out a cold smile and said in a strange, ambiguous tone: "Wang貴, everyone knows about your relationship with the former county magistrate, yet you still pretend here"

"Hurry up and surrender the real ledger with both hands, and bring out all the food you've been hiding privately. Perhaps I'll take pity on you and spare your life."

Wang Gui thought to himself, "I've given up everything. What am I but a piece of meat on a chopping board Only an idiot would say otherwise..."

"Your Honor, as the grain officer of the granary, I always conduct myself with integrity and diligence. I have never engaged in corrupt practices. Please, Your Honor, investigate this matter fairly!"

Jin Fatzi didn't speak, he swept his eyes over the few attendants beside him. After these guys rushed over, there was a flurry of punches and kicks!

Wang Gui was not even five feet tall and extremely thin. He was as skinny as a monkey. How could he stand such beating

He was writhing on the ground, screaming in agony. Soon he was spitting up blood.

"Stop, ask him if he'll say it."

A servant tugged at Wang Gui's hair and demanded loudly, "Did you hear what the master said Speak up quickly!"

Wang Gui could hardly speak, but he still shook his head lightly. Jin Fatty couldn't help but become angry and embarrassed!

"Hit them! Those corrupt officials deserve to be killed! I'm here on behalf of the emperor to distribute grain and punish these corrupt officials. Attack!"

The attendants swarmed him, kicking wildly with their legs, beating him until he was half-dead.

I thought that by doing this, there would be a result, but who knew Wang Gui was also determined. He knew that if he spoke out, not only wouldn't he live, but he would be silenced even faster.

Just lie down on the ground and say nothing, I'd rather be beaten to death!

This time, even Jin Fatty was a little scared. If he really beat someone to death in the inn, it would be difficult to explain to the higher-ups. He hurriedly waved his hand to stop his men.

"Throw him back home, even if he dies, don't die in front of me!"

These attendants, seeing that something was amiss, hastily lifted up Wang Gui and sprinted all the way to his doorstep. They tossed him over the wall and into the yard.

These kids are really unprincipled. Wang貴 was already beaten up pretty badly, and then they threw him again, causing him to faint.

When the family heard the commotion, they rushed out to see what was happening. They were shocked and dismayed. One person went to find a doctor while another was sent to report the incident to the authorities.

If Wang Gui were awake, he wouldn't dare let his family report the incident. This matter has indeed been blown out of proportion.

Although it was late at night, Li Yang, who had worked hard all day, was still full of energy and busy handling official business.

Just then, the duty officer Wang Lie rushed in and said, "Master Xiucai, someone from Wang Gui's family has come to report a crime. They say that he was beaten badly."

"Oh Is that so!" Li Yang immediately stood up. "Bring the person in, I want to question them personally!"

Since arriving in Tiāngōng County, Li Yang knew that every incumbent county magistrate must have been lining their pockets with grain from the official granary. He had once called Wang Guì over to inquire about it.

But this Wang Gui refused to admit it, and the matter could only be put on hold for now. Who would have thought that something like this would happen today!

In the blink of an eye, the person who had reported the incident was brought in. After he told his story, Li Yang was taken aback.

Wang Gui's life or death is of little consequence, but if he dies, a large amount of grain will undoubtedly vanish from sight.

After a careful examination of the accounts, Li Yang had roughly determined that the former county magistrate Zhong Bao's private stash of grain was astonishingly large; this man absolutely could not be allowed to die!

Li Yang rushed back into the house like the wind, picked up his ever-present pouch of treasures, and dashed out in a flurry.

When these people arrived at Wang Gui's house, they saw that the person had already been placed on the bed, and the ground was covered in blood spat out from their mouth.

His face was like gold paper, and his breathing was also very weak. He's estimated to meet the King of Hell soon!

Li Yang saw that something was wrong and stepped forward to carefully check on him. He discovered that two ribs were broken, but it wasn't serious. It should not have injured any important organs.

He then asked, "How did you spit out so much blood Did Wang Gui have any hidden ailments before"

The family quickly replied, “To the master’s question, our Wang Gui has always had lung problems and they get much worse in winter. Now that autumn is starting, he has already been coughing up blood.”

"I don't know who beat him like this, I guess he hurt his lung, I'm afraid...he's almost gone."

Li Yang opened his treasure pouch without a word and gave Wang Gui a few pills.

Then she took out a glass tube and drew some liquid medicine from a sealed wax bottle.

He pricked his hand lightly, after two cups of tea's worth of time, he looked and saw it was fine, then went straight for the flesh.

Then he listened carefully to the beating of his heart for a while, and the expression on his face softened.

"Don't worry, it's not a fatal wound, just aggravated the old injury. I've already taken painkillers and injected penicillin, so it should be fine."

This first aid measure seems simple, but in the Zhou Dynasty it was truly unique!

Although this traditionally extracted penicillin is not as effective as modern varieties, it was a lifesaver in ancient times when people had no immunity to diseases.

Wang Gui's family originally thought this county magistrate was mysterious, especially his treatment methods were too strange, and they didn't think much of it.

After a while, Wang Gui's complexion became serene, his breathing grew heavier, and even his complexion turned rosy.

Li Yang smiled with relief and said, "Don't worry, I will dispatch someone to investigate immediately. Wang Gui is an official of the court; he cannot be beaten for no reason."

"If I catch the culprit, I will certainly punish him severely. At that time, I will also have Wang Gui identify the offender."

Li Yang's medicine really worked. The next day, Wang Gui was able to walk with a cane.

After waking up, Wang Gui realized his life was saved by Li Yang. He couldn't find the words to express his feelings; his heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.

The former county magistrate threatened his own family, saying he could only help with the embezzlement and falsification of accounts. Since he was also an accomplice, he dared not speak out about it.

Judging from last night's events, those bastards from the capital are truly ruthless. If it weren't for Li Yang, I'm afraid my life would have been forfeit by now.

If I were to die, how would my family cope Would those officials in the capital interrogate my parents and wife and children!

Wang Gui was also beaten to understand. He came to the county office early in the morning, leaning on a cane, and said he wanted to publicly thank the county magistrate for his life-saving grace.

Li Yang, after knowing this, hurried out of the county office and supported him with his hand as they walked inside.

"I said to Wang Gui, we are both colleagues from the same county. There's no need for so much formality. You're not well now, it would be better to rest more at home."

Seeing Li Yang's gentle smile and hearing his sincere and caring words, Wang Gui couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I... have a matter to discuss in private with an adult. But... I beg you, spare my family's lives!"ave this place with this little guy""White Tiger, don't underestimate those human spirits.
