One of the prisoners banged on the bars of his cell and shouted, "Let me out! I'm innocent! Get me out of here!"
The constable who was leading them to the cell of Liu Ju Zheng turned around, used the end of his saber's sheath and knocked it into the man's abdomen.
"Argh." The man fell to the ground, rolled from side to side and groaned in pain.
The brutal treatment of the prisoners by the constable made Yue Jie and Yue Xin worried for their father.
They held onto Lin Xuan Qi's arms on both sides, trying to seek comfort from him.
Yue Jie and Yue Xin didn't imagine that it would be so bad.
