After Gu Jing's reminder, Zhu Jin also remembered that it was on the day she was named the county lord, and it was estimated that the emperor just said it casually, but now it was convenient for her.

Zhu Jin then spoke: "The emperor did say this. ”

Manager Hu suddenly raised his head and said with a look of disbelief: "The holy decree did not say that the county lord should inherit the county lord's food!" Can this be counted? ”

"Presumptuous!" Gu Jing said unhappily: "The emperor's golden words, is it possible that what is written down is the holy decree, and what is said does not count?" At that time, many people at the banquet heard this! ”

"This..."Manager Hu added: "This can't be proved now, the slave is panicked and doesn't know who to listen to." ”

Gu Jing glanced at him and said, "What?" Could it be that you still want to go to the emperor and ask the emperor in person? ”

Manager Hu naturally wanted to meet the emperor, so that he would be able to get out of trouble.

But Gu Jing immediately continued: "Are you suspecting that this king is falsely transmitting the holy will? Do you know what happened to this king? ”

For a while, the situation immediately reversed, and Manager Hu, who had just had a slight upper hand, was speechless at this time.

Admit Gu Jing's words, that is, admit Zhu Jin's identity, he will also be punished by Zhu Jin, if he doesn't admit Gu Jing's words, it will offend the prince, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape!

Manager Hu was so anxious that his head was in a cold sweat, Zhu Jin hooked the corners of his mouth, and said loudly: "Someone!" ”

The little guy outside ran in and heard Zhu Jin's order: "Go, give me twenty boards, and then lock them up in the firewood room!" ”

The little guy who came in was a sprinkler sweeper, and he was under the control of the people under Mr. Hu on weekdays, which made him use a board to beat Mr. Hu, where did he dare to start, he stood there in a daze, looked at Zhu Hibiscus, and then looked at Mr. Hu, and didn't know who he listened to for a while.

At this time, when Mr. Hu heard the 20 boards, he was also scared enough, so where can this old life still hold up to the 20 boards?

At that moment, Manager Hu began to beg for mercy, "The princess spares her life!" For the sake of me being an old man in the house, serving the county lord and the princess for half my life, please open up the princess! ”

Zhu Jin snorted with disdain, "You still dare to mention friendship with me?" You're just a coachman that my mother kindly picked up, how did you become this manager, don't you know in your heart? ”

It turned out that Chief Manager Hu was just a coachman who helped the county lord drive the carriage, and later climbed up to the palace, imprisoned the county lord of Xiuning, and drove away the old man in the county lord's mansion.

He had already betrayed the county lord's mansion, and at this time he was embarrassed to propose friendship with her? Zhu Jin laughed angrily and said: "Manager Hu's friendship, the twenty boards are really not enough, and the thirty boards are also reluctant, it's better to have forty boards!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Jin looked up at the little guy and said solemnly: "Call me!" ”

Where has this little guy usually seen this, and he was immediately frightened and weak, so he hurriedly went out to call someone to play the board.

Manager Hu's face was bloodless, and when he thought of the forty boards, he was about to faint.

Gu Jing frowned, and said loudly: "Dissipate your anger, these people are going to be punished well, but the county lord is still resting inside, and when the fight starts later, it will definitely be a ghost crying wolf, so it will disturb the county lord." ”

When Mr. Hu heard this, he didn't care who said this, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Yes, princess, the villain should die, but if you disturb the county lord, it will be even worse, it is better to wait for the county lord to wake up and then send it down!" ”

Gu Jing glanced at him, and he would plead for himself, but he didn't want to think about how Gu Jing could help him say good things.

Gu Jing said to Zhu Jin: "It's better to go to the side courtyard just now to fight, it is secluded, it doesn't disturb people, and it's close to the firewood room, so it's half dead when the time comes, and it's convenient to lock it up." ”

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Hu, who thought he had a glimpse of a glimmer of life, was completely dead in his heart, rolled his eyes, and fainted like this.

Zhu Jin naturally did not disagree, Gu Jing took the person away, she returned to the house, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the county lord Xiuning worriedly.

Su Yueming had just given the needle to the county lord of Xiuning, and he was not needed here for the time being, so he got up and went to Gu Jing.

At this time, in the side courtyard, a Taishi chair was placed under the shade of a tree, and the muffled sound of a board hitting the flesh and blood came one after another.

Gu Jing also hated so many people fighting and shouting loudly, so except for Mr. Hu, the mouths of the others were blocked by strips of cloth.

Mr. Hu originally fainted, but woke up as soon as he went down, and he screamed loudly at first, but by this time, he couldn't shout anymore.

Gu Jing drank tea boredly, waited for the twenty boards to finish, saw Su Yueming coming, and asked two words about the situation of the county lord of Xiuning by the way.

After the 20th board was finished, everyone couldn't move, and Gu Jing asked those little guys to be locked up in the firewood room first.

Everyone retreated, and Gu Jing, Su Yueming, and the manager Hu who hummed and chirped for half his life were left in the courtyard.

Gu Jing got up, walked closer, and asked, "Say, what did you eat for the county lord of Xiuning to keep her awake?" ”

Although Mr. Hu is half-dead, he still denies what he shouldn't say, "The villain can't understand what the prince said, the county lord suddenly fell ill and became like this, where does the villain dare to murder the county lord." ”

Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, Gu Jing sneered and said, "Since Manager Hu doesn't want to say it, then let's continue to fight, forty boards, this is only half of it!" Isn't it, at this time, does Manager Hu still think that someone in the palace will come to save you? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Manager Hu, who was even out of breath, immediately raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Jing in a daze, with disbelief in his eyes.

Gu Jing couldn't help but feel funny, what are these people? Do you think he's a fool? At this time, is it possible that you can't see who is dealing with him?

Since this was the case, Gu Jing didn't mind saying more, he spoke: "Do you think you can still live now?" didn't look at the county lord of Xiuning, and angered the county lord, how would the one in the palace calm down this matter? ”

Of course, it is to sacrifice a substitute for the dead ghost, and Mr. Hu is most likely sacrificed, after all, he is not particularly important to Gu Yan, so important that it is irreplaceable, Mr. Hu is just a small chess piece, used to temporarily control the pawn of the county lord's mansion.

When the pieces are useless, it is normal to discard them.

Manager Hu was mentioned by this, and also thought of this, and suddenly felt a little at a loss, he had to admit that after so long, if the palace received a letter, he would have come to help a long time ago, and if he didn't come, this would have been obvious.

Only then did he clearly realize that he had no way back, his good days were over, he hurriedly looked at Gu Jing, and said tremblingly: "I said, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!" Please save me! ”
