Yu Shikui was almost in tears with anxiety.
This Huangfu Jinxuan must be doing it on purpose, he just wants to kill me.
No, I absolutely cannot let him succeed.
He continued urgently, "Life is at stake, Second Young Master, although you have the authority to execute first and report later, that's only for officials below the Sixth Rank. I am of the Fourth Rank, a Fourth Rank County Magistrate, you don't have that power. Besides, haven't the commoners suggested that a public humiliation parade can be done instead?"
Under normal circumstances, he would never agree to a public humiliation parade, as it would be like rubbing their faces into the dirt. But compared to being beheaded, a disgraceful life is better than death.
Huangfu Jinxuan still shook his head, looking at him with a somewhat strange gaze, saying, "It's not that I don't agree, but that you can't do it!"
"I can, I can!"
