Chapter 525: Falling into a Trap, Untie Tian Peng

"I am truly sorry, my lord, we, we thought you were doing it on purpose." The officer beside him hastened to apologize.

No sooner had these words been spoken than the County Magistrate grew even angrier.

"Have I ever seen such useless trash as you? What do you think, am I a fool? Would I have nothing better to do than to deliberately singe my own beard?!"

"We, we thought you were showing the young man that the fire tongs you were holding weren't fake, but real," said another officer.

The County Magistrate was so angry that he wished he could apply the fire tongs to the two officers himself.

Tian Peng watched this scene with an urge to laugh, but he knew it was not the time for laughter. If he laughed now, the County Magistrate might realize he was being mocked, and that would hamper the plans he had afterward.
