Chapter 928: Aggrieved
The prefect never imagined that one day, someone would sneak into the prefect and do such a thing.
This is simply a challenge to his authority as a prefect.
Just thinking about this matter, the prefect was angry.
But he really couldn't understand what kind of person he could be, who was so hostile to him, and even did not hesitate to blend into the prefect and do such a crazy thing, deliberately damaging his reputation as a prefect.
The prefect didn't have the slightest clue now, so he could only give an order and let the man in black investigate the matter thoroughly.
In addition, he specially prepared gifts, personally went to the door to find the beaten guests, and sincerely apologized. For everything, he blamed the guards, saying that the people under him were not strict in discipline, so this happened, and before that, he, as the prefect, was completely unaware.
But he felt very sorry for the hurt he had caused to several guests, so he came to apologize, hoping to be forgiven. After all, no matter what, those two guards were from his prefect, and if you really want to talk about it, this matter is also his fault.
The guests who were beaten originally hated the prefect because of this incident. After all, they lost so much silver taels in the gambling stone shop, not to mention that they didn't get anything when they went to the prefect to seek justice, and they were actually beaten and driven away.
This is in front of the prefect's door, so many pairs of eyes are watching, since they can consume so many silver taels in the gambling stone shop, they are also people who are either rich or noble, how can they endure this breath.
But the prefect personally came to apologize for the incident, which they did not expect. After all, no matter what the prefect is, his identity is still there, and it is indeed extremely surprising that he, as the prefect, has done this part.
In connection with what the prefect did on weekdays, these guests didn't pursue anything in the end, and accepted the prefect's apology, and the matter passed like this.
But for the matter of the gambling stone shop, the prefect can only swear to them that he will definitely give them an explanation later, and besides, he didn't say anything more.
Those guests are not fools after all, and they can probably guess that this gambling stone shop should be a little greasy, but the prefect has said this, and the people have put on such a sincere posture, which satisfies their self-esteem.
Therefore, these guests were also very interested and did not continue to ask about this matter. After all, if they continue to be aggressive and bite the prefect, in the end, this may not be a good thing for them.
After saying goodbye to one of the guests with a smile, the prefect turned around and got into a sedan chair and walked back to the prefect's place.
On the sedan chair, the gentle and elegant smile on the prefect's face disappeared immediately, replaced by a look of gloom and shame.
What he did today was simply the most humiliating and dissatisfied thing he had faced in the years he had been a prefect.
Who would have thought that he, a dignified prefect with a noble status, would actually have to apologize with a smile to a few people who are not of any status, which is simply trampling his self-esteem under his feet!
God knows how he felt when he did something like this. The prefect felt that he probably didn't want to experience such a thing again in his life.
Just thinking about this made him want to kill them all and make them disappear in front of him forever. When the prefect remembered their smiles, he always felt that their smiles implied mockery and foolery of himself.
He is like a clown, and he is clearly aggrieved in his heart, but he has no way to show it in the end, so he can only smile on his face and explain to these people over and over again that this is not his problem.
The prefect thought about it, and his face turned even darker.
He really couldn't understand what kind of person would do such a thing. I think he has always been friendly to people on weekdays, and he has never shown any of his thoughts, even if he has done something,
It will definitely not leave a trace.
How could he be so remembered? Could it be that person is worried about his position as the prefect and wants to replace him?
The prefect thought about it, and thought it was unlikely.
He would not fail to recognize any person in this city who had a head and a face, and even knew it clearly. He also had some friendship in private, and although he couldn't guarantee that he knew these people completely, he could be mostly sure that these people didn't have such thoughts at least.
After all, if you have a good life, who would want someone else's position for no reason? Unless, he did something that made people jealous; Or, the man just didn't like him in the first place, so he did such a thing, and wanted to see his jokes.
As soon as the prefect thought that the person behind him was to see his jokes, a wave of anger suddenly rose into the air, and he couldn't help but gasp several times in anger.
The sedan chair returned to the prefect in all directions, and the prefect didn't even want to get off the sedan chair, he always felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of the people next to him looking at him recently.
When I went to visit some friends a few days ago, some people already shirked their physical discomfort and closed their doors. If it had been a different day, he would have visited in person, and these people would have even come out to greet him in person, and it would have been impossible for him to say such a thing.
But it just happened, and he was caught off guard. But when I think of what happened recently, the prefect probably knows what is going on.
What he didn't expect was that just because of the gambling stone shop, so many people would stay away from him, and even ignore his identity as a prefect. This made the prefect, who was above the top, unacceptable at all.
But now, there are not so many people under his command to use, and even if he wants to carry stones, he has more than enough power. What's more, it is impossible for the prefect to find someone outside to do things for him. That Mrs. Pei entrusted such an important secret to herself, this is a way to make a lot of money, but it is not an ordinary place, how can he let others know.
If this news spreads and is known to others, and the stones there are extraordinary, then wouldn't everyone go to move the stones and look for jade? In this way, even if his gambling stone shop continues, it will have no meaning, let alone anything to look forward to.
The housekeeping skills must not be leaked, this matter, the prefect is very clear in his heart. In order to avoid such a thing, he lost more than a hundred killers, and he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, even if he was reluctant, he could only accept this fact.
That place is indeed too wicked. The prefect can only explain this matter that this method of making money is too unusual, so the place where these stones are is probably not an ordinary place. After all, silver taels are not so easy to earn. If it's really that simple, I'm afraid everyone will make a fortune, so why bother pursuing the art of making money?
The prefect didn't think much about this matter, but thought that the place was not easy to enter, let alone easy to succeed. At the beginning, Mrs. Pei also instructed herself in this way.
At that time, he still felt unimpressed, but now that he had lost so many subordinates, he suddenly realized that he didn't take Mrs. Pei's words to heart at the beginning, so he would encounter such a disaster.
But now, even if the prefect regrets it, it won't help. He is really really, he lost his wife and lost his soldiers.
Now, a series of disasters have appeared together, making the prefect even more distressed. He only felt anxious now, but he didn't know that more exciting things were waiting for him to come.
On the other side, after Su Wanqing learned about the situation of the prefect, she took Pei Xiu to the largest dim sum shop in the city to buy some dim sum, and then returned home satisfied.
Not long after returning to the house, Chu Yan came back from outside.
Chu Yan came to Su Wanqing, drank a cup of tea first, then sat down, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Boss, everything has been done, it is estimated that in a few days, the news will come." ”
Su Wanqing smiled lightly, and said with some curiosity: "Then the prefect already knows that he has been cheated?" ”
When Chu Yan heard Su Wanqing mention the prefect, he suddenly thought of the scene in the prefect's mansion, and couldn't help but laugh "poof", and said: "But aren't they, those two guards are really stupid, I just said this, they actually believed it, and really went to beat those guests." At that time, the boss didn't see that scene, it was simply wonderful. ”
Chu Yan slapped his palms as he spoke, and said with a smile, the expression on his face was as happy as a child.
"I pretended to be the person in charge, and deliberately did not bandage it, so that the prefect would know that he had been cheated as soon as possible. Just thinking about the expression on his face at that time, I was about to die of laughter, but unfortunately the boss didn't see it! ”
When Chu Yan said this, he couldn't help but have a trace of regret on his face.
Su Wanqing could imagine how wonderful the expression on the prefect's face was when she listened to Chu Yan's description.
The prefect didn't expect that when he talked to the man in black in the study, including the conversation with them in charge, he was all in the eyes of Chu Yan, who was lying on the roof of the study.
Although the man in black was very powerful and his martial arts were not weak, he didn't notice that there was actually a person hiding on the roof, and he was still listening to them with relish.
"But the prefect is really ruthless, he launched a sideways, and directly smashed the inkstone on the head of the guard, smashing out a big blood hole, I saw it at the time, and I felt a little unbearable."
Chu Yan said with a sigh.
