Chapter 210 Qin Tiancheng was dying
"Downstairs." Mo San said respectfully.
The Hongfu Inn had been booked by them. Qin Tiancheng was guarded by guards, who yelled at them to release him. At this time, he had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Master!" The guards saluted with their fists clasped.
Jun Lan came down from upstairs with a cold aura.
Qin Tiancheng was thrown to the ground with his hands and feet tied. When he saw Jun Lan appear, he shouted, "I didn't touch her, why did you arrest me!"
Jun Lan sat on the chair, glanced at him coldly, and ordered the guard beside him in a deep voice, "Give me fifty lashes!"
Qin Tiancheng's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "You dare to hit me? My uncle is the governor of Xing'an County!"
Mo San stood behind Jun Lan and looked at him as if he was a fool. Is this guy crazy? How dare a mere county magistrate challenge his master?
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you do something?"
The guards quickly pulled over a bench and forced Qin Tiancheng to lie on it.
Seeing that they were serious, Qin Tiancheng finally panicked and struggled desperately, but it was of no avail.
"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"
The boards fell heavily one after another.
"Ah!" Qin Tiancheng cried out in pain, shouting, "Stop! Stop it!"
"If you don't stop, I will spread this matter! What a shitty county lady, she is nothing but a fallen woman!"
Hearing this, Jun Lan could no longer suppress the anger in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Another fifty lashes! Beat him hard!"
The guards increased the force of their hands.
Qin Tiancheng cried out in pain, "Ah, ah, ah, you bullies!"
"Dad, Mom, come and save me..."
"Help me..."
Suddenly, someone rushed in from outside the inn.
"Stop it, stop it, why are you hitting my son?"
As soon as Qin's mother entered the inn, she saw her son being beaten and rushed over to protect him to stop the beating.
The guards were forced to stop and wait for Jun Lan's instructions.
Jun Lan opened his thin lips and said, "Pull away and keep fighting!"
The guards hurriedly did as they were told. Qin's mother held onto Qin Tiancheng and cried loudly, refusing to let go, but the guards still forcibly pulled them apart.
Mother Qin couldn't get close to Qin Tiancheng, so she turned around and pulled her husband, "Husband, husband, please save our son quickly. If you keep beating him like this, he will die..."
Father Qin was more rational than Mother Qin, and he had already learned from his subordinates what his son had done. He walked up to Jun Lan and saluted, saying, "I greet you, Your Highness. I didn't mean to offend the county lady. Please show some mercy..."
Jun Lan pretended to be deaf, half-closed his eyes, and sat quietly without saying a word.
When Qin's mother heard her son's constant cries of pain, she knelt down with a plop and cried, "I beg you, please let my son go..."
"You are a noble prince, why do you have to make things difficult for ordinary people like us..."
"As a mother, I know my son's character very well. He definitely didn't intend to arrest the county lady..."
"Heh..." Jun Lan laughed angrily and said slowly, "Ordinary people?"
"Your son said that his uncle is the county governor..."
"You're using the county lady's reputation to threaten this prince. Is that unintentional?"
Qin's father and mother were speechless after being scolded by Jun Lan, but that was their son, they couldn't let him be beaten to death, so they could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
Jun Lan closed his eyes, and the image of Gu Yin being forced into a miserable state in the Qin family appeared in front of him. He couldn't calm down, and he didn't want to let the culprit of all this go easily.
Mother Qin cried for a long time, but when she saw Jun Lan was still indifferent, she felt humiliated and said without thinking, "We all kneeled down to beg you, what else do you want? Do you think that just because you are the prince, you can disregard the law and take human lives lightly?"
When Father Qin heard his wife's words, he was immediately frightened and quickly covered her mouth. He trembled and apologized to Jun Lan, "Please forgive me, my wife was just too worried about her son and said something she shouldn't have said..."
While apologizing, Qin's father secretly kept an eye on the movements at the door of the inn. He had sent someone to notify the county magistrate before he came, so why hadn't he come yet?
When he learned about the trouble his son had caused, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to rescue his son with his status, so he could only pin his hopes on his wife's sister's husband, who was also their brother-in-law, Lin Song, the prefect of Xing'an County.
Seeing his son's cries of pain becoming weaker and weaker, Qin's father became extremely anxious. Qin's mother gave up asking Jun Lan for help and instead rushed towards her son, punching, kicking and biting the guards who tried to stop her.
Suddenly, a figure hurried in from outside the inn.
The man who came was dressed in official uniform, and it was Lin Song.
Lin Song walked straight to Jun Lan without looking around, and said with an apologetic smile, "Your subordinate Lin Song, I didn't know that the prince was coming, so I didn't come out to greet you. I'm sorry for the offense, I hope the prince will forgive me."
Jun Lan slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Song smiled and said, "I have reserved a table at Qianwei Restaurant. May I invite you to go over and taste the food?"
Jun Lan said calmly, "This prince does not have the good mood of Lord Lin..."
"It's all my fault. I didn't rule strictly enough, and the county lady suffered." Lin Song admitted his fault without saying anything. "When the county lady is ready, I will let my nephew come to apologize in person."
Lin Song is indeed a veteran who has been immersed in officialdom for many years. His words seemed to be an admission of fault but in fact they were a plea for mercy, without any loopholes.
How could Jun Lan not hear the hidden meaning behind his words? He glanced at Qin Tiancheng who was beaten to death, and said, "I won't eat the meal..."
"There's no need to go and apologize, lest you offend the county lady!"
Jun Lan made a pause gesture to the guards over there and continued, "Take him back, but if I find him doing evil again, I won't be as easy to deal with as I was this time..."
Lin Song was startled when he heard this, but he did not show it on his face. He thanked Jun Lan profusely, "Thank you for showing mercy, Your Highness. I will never forget it."
Jun Lan stood up, looked at Qin Tiancheng coldly again, turned around and walked upstairs.
Lin Song looked at Jun Lan's back, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Qin Tiancheng was beaten to death and fainted from the pain when he was carried back to the mansion. The Qin mansion was suddenly in chaos.
When she learned that Qin Tiancheng would have to stay in bed for three months, Qin's mother burst into tears again.
Lin Song felt annoyed when he looked at his wife's sister. If she hadn't doted on them excessively, how could she allow her own children to cause trouble everywhere?
Thinking of the mess Qin Tiancheng had made this time, he couldn't help but warn him, "Don't forget to prepare a valuable gift for him later!"
After hearing this, Qin's mother stopped crying and asked in a shrill voice, "What? He beat my son so badly, and I still want to give them gifts?"
"Why?"
Lin Song was so angry that his chest heaved, and he cursed him in his heart as an idiot.
"What about you? What do you say?" Lin Song looked at Qin's father.
If he wasn't worried that this family would affect his career, he wouldn't bother to care.
Father Qin couldn't figure out the specific reason, but he knew that his family's wealth and prosperity was due to the person in front of him.
"I will listen to my brother-in-law..."
Lin Song finally calmed down.
