Manager Feng, after all, is just a county merchant. If he doesn't have backing, he wouldn't dare to strike hard against the Gu Family.
"Is your relative an official? A mere lowly merchant, what kind of relative could be an official?" Gu Jin'an laughed, then his face turned cold, and he ordered Qiu Lang, "The Feng guy impersonating an official's relative is a grave crime. Keep beating him. If we beat him to death, it would be a merit for our Gu Family!"
"Yes." Qiu Lang understood Gu Jin'an's intention, which was to beat Manager Feng harshly but only make him feel extreme pain without causing any real harm.
But Manager Feng didn't understand this. When the pain on his body grew worse, he thought he would die and shouted at the top of his voice to survive: "The Assistant Judge Jia of Tong'an Prefecture is my relative, a close blood relative. If you kill me, he won't let you off!"
Manager Feng nearly tore his throat, and after shouting this, he collapsed from exhaustion.
