County Magistrate Tang gave a faint smile and rested his chin in his hand, watching him eat. Ying Wenhai felt somewhat uneasy. After pouring himself a bowl of water to moisten his throat, he asked, "Is Ji Hao truly alive?"
County Magistrate Tang raised an eyebrow at him.
Ying Wenhai lowered his head and said, "After he lost so much blood, his stomach was... it was torn open..."
"Didn't you think he would end up like this when you whipped his horse?"
Ying Wenhai clenched the bun in his hand and said, "Who would have thought his horsemanship was so poor that he would fall off the horse..."
Under the gaze of County Magistrate Tang, Ying Wenhai found himself at a loss for words.
County Magistrate Tang withdrew his gaze, considering that it was the first time the person involved had spoken up. He didn't want the atmosphere to become too tense.
