Huangfu Jinxuan murmured, "It seems like it!"
Huangfu Jingchen coolly continued, "Nanxia Law Code, Page 23, Article 2: Forcing others to offer bribes in the form of money, children, or their bodies—dismissal!"
Yu Shikui immediately responded, "No such thing!"
Huangfu Jinxuan stifled a laugh, feigned a serious look, glanced at Yu Shikui, then at Kong Tixin, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Do you mean to say, Prefectural Governor Yu, that you weren't coerced by County Magistrate Kong?"
Yu Shikui nearly ground his teeth to pieces. He was still aching in unspeakable places, and he swore that once he escaped this awkward situation, he would make Kong Tixin pay dearly.
But for now, he had to suppress his anger and said, "Never happened!"
Huangfu Jinxuan then looked at Kong Tixin: "County Magistrate Kong, were you coerced by Prefectural Governor Yu?"
Kong Tixin shook his head like a rattle-drum, not daring to look Yu Shikui in the eye. He weakly said, "Never happened!"
