The man was barely breathing at this point, as if he would die at any moment.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead, mixing with the blood and soaking his messy hair.
His lips opened slightly, and a stream of blood gushed out, dripping down his chin onto his chest. His once strong body was now shaking constantly, as if every movement required all of his strength.
Hearing Lu Ren's question, the man struggled to open his eyelids, his eyes were bloodshot, revealing endless fatigue and despair.
When he saw that the person standing in front of him was just a young man, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.
Despite this, he still clenched his teeth, forced himself to hold back the grief in his heart, and shook his head gently.
" You can't help me......Go away, or you will be implicated."
The man's voice was low and hoarse, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
Having not eaten for many days and having just been beaten, he felt as if his body had been drained of energy.
His legs became weak and he half-knelt on the ground involuntarily.
He grabbed the stool beside him with trembling hands, trying to support his shaky body so as not to lose his composure in front of everyone.
Bright red blood flowed down his trouser legs, forming shocking bloodstains.
This tragic scene was unbearable to watch, but the people around were indifferent, and even uttered bursts of sharp laughter and abuse.
What's more, a young girl in the crowd threw a handful of rotten leaves at Lu Ren, who had saved the man, and shouted,"He is a scumbag, why did you save him?"
"You're right! In my opinion, the two of them must be a nest of snakes and rats. Please, county magistrate, make sure to thoroughly investigate the identity of this person!"Someone echoed.
For a moment, shouting and accusations filled Lu Ren's eardrums.
Lu Ren slowly turned around, and his cold eyes swept across the bodies of those who shouted the most rampantly like a cold light.
He is a martial artist in the Kaimai realm. There is an incomparable and powerful sense of oppression in his eyes, and a faint murderous intent also emanates from his body.
When the people around him met his eyes, it was as if they were suddenly placed in a biting cold wind. Their bodies began to tremble involuntarily, and even their scalps felt numb.
At this moment, they were like frozen sculptures, standing there stupidly, with unspeakable fear in their eyes.
Lu Ren moved his sight back and murmured to himself in a low voice:"Finally it's quiet."
Then, he looked at the man again and said,"Whatever injustice you have suffered, just tell me. I will help you today."
The man leaned weakly on the stool, and with great effort he managed to raise his head. A faint glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in his originally dull eyes.
" You........Can you really help me get justice??"
Lu Ren nodded seriously, affirming
"But……"The man seemed to be a little hesitant:"You can't afford to offend that person.……"
Lu Ren said,"You should be worried about your daughter, not me.
You should learn to be a little more selfish and think about yourself and your family first.
As for whether I can afford to offend the person you mentioned, that's not something you need to worry about. Do you understand?"
The man looked at him with a complicated expression.
After a short silence, he finally spoke the truth.
"That person is Zhao Jiamu!"When this name was mentioned, the man's eyes instantly ignited with raging flames, as if they were about to burst out, mixed with endless resentment.
""Who is Zhao Jiamu?" Lu Ren frowned and asked.
The man's eyes moved to the majestic gate of the county government not far away.
This place should be a place to uphold justice and punish evil, but now it has become the source of his and his daughter's lingering nightmare.
"Zhao Jiamu is the magistrate of Shanyang County, and he has been in office for nearly a year."
Lu Ren was not surprised by this result. He just wanted to hear the fact from the man's mouth.
After nodding slightly, he said,"Go on."
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm and began to recall.
"Half a month ago, I was selling sweet soup with my daughter on the street. Zhao Jiamu happened to pass by and took a fancy to my daughter at first sight."
"His eyes looked very strange at the time, but because there were many people on the street, he was able to restrain himself."
"I had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, he was the county magistrate."
"But three days later, I thought the matter was over, but he came to my house with gifts to propose marriage, wanting to marry my daughter as his seventh concubine."
"As a father, how could I watch my daughter fall into the clutches of this evil?"
"And my daughter was not willing to do so and rejected his request on the spot"
"Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiamu got so angry that he kidnapped my daughter and put me in jail."
"These days, he has been sending people to torture me severely in order to make me accept this marriage proposal."
"But the more brutal he is, the more I dare not hand my daughter over to him."
"I was prepared to fight him till death, but who knew today...……"
At this point, the man paused, with a look of sadness in his eyes.
"What happened today?" Lu Ren asked
"I don't know what means Zhao Jiamu used to force my daughter to write a complaint, accusing me of violating human ethics and committing indecent acts against my daughter.……"
"Are you sure that the complaint was written by your daughter?"
"Well, of course I recognize my daughter's handwriting, otherwise I would not have confessed my guilt willingly...
She must have been threatened by Zhao Jiamu and had to do this. If I didn't do what that dog official wanted, I don't know how much more my daughter would have to suffer.……"
Lu Ren nodded thoughtfully:"I know about your situation. I will seek justice for you. You should go and heal your wounds first."
After saying that, Lu Ren looked around and his eyes fell on a burly man who looked honest and upright.
"You, come here." Lu Ren pointed at the man and shouted.
After hearing the voice, the man hesitated for a moment, with a look of panic on his face, but still walked over slowly.
When he came in front of Lu Ren, he stammered,"Sir,...Son, I have old people and young children, and our family is well behaved.……"
Lu Ren interrupted him impatiently:"I asked you to come and help me, and I won't do anything to you, what are you afraid of?"
The man was relieved after hearing this, but still a little confused, and asked carefully:
"Huh? So that's how it is.......Sir, what can I do for you?"
Lu Ren did not answer his question, but turned his gaze to the dying man lying on the ground:"What is your name?"
"Xu Qiang. The man used up his last bit of strength to answer.
Lu Ren nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he took out ten silver coins, handed them to the man, and said:
"You should immediately take Xu Qiang to the best clinic nearby for treatment. This money should be enough to cover all the expenses. If there is any surplus, just consider it as your hard work fee."
""Thank you, sir!"
The man took the silver coin with joy, and then carefully helped Xu Qiang up.
They slowly walked through the astonished crowd around them and went straight to the direction of the clinic.
At this moment, a group of aggressive officers swarmed out of the county government like a surging tide.
They moved quickly and swiftly, and surrounded Lu Ren in the blink of an eye.
Then, surrounded by many officers, a man in gorgeous official uniform and a majestic official hat slowly walked out of the county government.
