"Did I overdo it?"
That thought popped into Le Yuxin's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.
"Wasn't this just a great example of public education? No matter if you're a nobody or some bigwig's son, if you break the law, you'll get your ass handed to you all the same. Surely when Yin Yinyin picked a stooge to impersonate the Governor's kin, he was thinking along those lines too."
"Beating people isn't all the same—if Le Yuxin hit a regular guy versus a high official's kid, the results were night and day."
"If he beat up a regular guy, onlookers would just be scared of the Statistical Department's power; but beating up a big shot's brat, the common folks got to see these high-and-mighty meat-eaters eating dirt for once, and start thinking, 'Huh, so these so-called elites aren't shit after all.'"
And pushes it even further—"So nobles and generals, are they really all that special?"
