Inside the county jail, the candles on both sides of the corridor flickered precariously, the dim light casting eerie shadows on the dilapidated and old cells.
From deep within the prison came cries of pain, the voices of several men, chilling to the bone.
"You bastards, you really have some nerve!"
"You even dared to make a move against the old master of the Lu Family; you're tired of living!"
"You fools, don't you know the old master of the Lu Family is Mr. Ceng's uncle?"
"Mr. Ceng instructed the two brothers to stay awake tonight and properly take care of you useless trash."
"Quick, tell us who ordered you to assassinate the old master of the Lu Family. Speak up, and you won't have to endure this suffering!"
In a somewhat simple-looking cell, two young government officials were present.
Both of them held short whips, diligently flogging the men tied up in front.
