Chapter 329: Scared Courage
Seeing that the sword light had already hit Chen Mu, the county commander was even more frightened and his legs weakened.
He staggered all the way out of the inner courtyard, General Nie frowned in surprise when he saw the county order like this, and when he was about to say something, he saw the county order fall down in front of Chen Mu with a thud.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the county commander, and the whole person trembled like a sieve.
He looked up in the direction of Chen Mu and said helplessly.
"Too ...... Son...... Childe-sama! Don't be angry! This General Nie was promoted from the army to the current son, and he has never been to the capital, but is just a local garrison. ”
"He came to my mansion because he also had a barracks to discuss with me, I didn't expect that this General Nie was not your identity, nor did I expect you to come back today."
"I've offended you, my lordship, and I'm ...... We deserve death! ”
General Nie looked at the county commander in a daze, and kowtowed again and again in front of Chen Mu.
General Nie withdrew the long knife in his hand and was about to step forward to pull up the county order, while he muttered and cursed.
"You are an official from the capital, what are you doing kneeling and bowing to this young man, he is not from the capital, sitting on a high position......"
Speaking of this, General Nie paused, and he suddenly realized something.
He looked up in the direction of Chen Mu.
This county official was transferred from the capital, and he recognized the big man from the capital.
The young man in front of him had an extraordinary bearing, and when he saw that it was a young man just now, he saw that this young man was well-dressed, and he only thought that the other party was a rich man in this town.
It was only now that he recalled the skills of the guards beside this young man, and the reaction of the county magistrate in front of him, a layer of cold sweat broke out on General Nie's forehead.
He looked in Chen Mu's direction in fear, and met Chen Mu's cold eyes.
General Nie froze, he stood stupidly in place, and didn't dare to make a sound for a long time, until the county commander noticed General Nie's movements, then turned around, pulled General Nie, and then spoke.
"Kneel! Get on your knees! This is a big guy you can't mess with! You almost hurt this big guy just now! If this big man is angry, you can punish the nine clans! ”
The last sentence came out between his teeth, but General Nie heard it clearly, and General Nie's knees went limp, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
He looked up in the direction of the person in front of him, constantly recalling the words of the prefectural order.
Can you punish the nine clans?
What does this mean?
What is the identity of this young man?
Could it be that he is a member of the royal family?!
...... from the capital How come he hadn't heard of someone from the royal family coming?
If someone from the royal family had come from their county, the news would have already gotten out, and he would not have appeared in front of this person.
Even narrowly missed this guy just now!
Chen Mu saw the two of them looking in his direction in fear, Chen Mu sighed helplessly, he raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and then said.
"I only thought about coming back to see the matter of the woman's house, but before I could do it, I was almost assassinated...... Tsk, you're so bold, General Nie. ”
These words were meaningful, and the county magistrate was frightened when he heard Chen Mu say this.
He stepped forward on his knees and kowtowed to Chen Mu repeatedly, but he didn't dare to say a word of pleading.
Seeing the appearance of the county order, Chen Mu waved his hand casually, and then turned his head to General Nie and said.
"For the sake of you not knowing my identity, this time I won't punish you heavily, go to the backyard to get fifteen whips, and after receiving the whips, come to the front hall to see me, I want to know why you suddenly came to this county, or bring troops into the city."
"If you can't come up with a suitable reason, don't blame me for being unkind to you, leading troops into the city for no reason and alarming the people in the city, this is a big crime!"
Hearing Chen Mu say this, General Nie frowned and looked up in Chen Mu's direction, until now, he couldn't be sure of Chen Mu's identity.
Seeing that Chen Mu ordered himself to go to the backyard to receive the whip in the tone of this superior person, General Nie hesitated again, who is this person in front of him?
Anyway, let him know the identity of the other party and then go to receive the punishment, and the county commander also knew what General Nie was thinking, he sighed, walked to General Nie's ear, and said a few words to General Nie.
When General Nie heard what the county order said, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Chen Mu, his eyes widened, he froze again, and remembered his bold and reckless behavior just now.
When the county commander saw General Nie's appearance, he raised his hand and patted General Nie's shoulder, and then said.
"That's it, don't think about the superfluous, first of all, as this lord said, go to the backyard to get the punishment, fifteen lashes, not a heavy punishment."
"Think about the great sin you just committed...... You will know how kind this Lord is. ”
Hearing the county order say this, General Nie jumped up from the ground with a fierce son, turned his head and walked in the direction of the backyard, and when he left, his body trembled, and the iron tools on his body made a small friction sound under his movements.
Chen Mu couldn't help but smile when he saw General Nie like this, he shook his head a little helplessly, glanced at the county order, and asked the county order to go to the front hall with him to sit.
On the way to the front hall, Chen Mu still sighed.
"The reason why he was allowed to receive the punishment was not because he ran into me and offended me, but because he was too reckless."
"Before the identity of the person who came, he took the liberty of attacking the person, and looking at the way he looked just now, did he plan to seriously injure the person."
"I know he has something important to come to you, otherwise he wouldn't have risked leading troops into the city, but if the person who was injured was not me, but other nobles, then this matter would not be able to be said."
"Fortunately, the guards I brought with me are strong and have a lot of people, if I bring fewer people and he hurts me, let alone the Nine Clans, even you will be implicated."
After all, he led troops into the city for no reason, and if this matter is not explained clearly, it can be punished as a crime of treason.
When that time comes, the county order and the nine clans of the county order will not be good.
When the county magistrate heard Chen Mu say this, he nodded in response, wanting to cry without tears.
Fortunately, fortunately, the guards around Chen Mu were all skilled, and General Na Nie also went to the backyard with a shiver, and after receiving fifteen whips, he still felt that his legs and stomach were tendoning, and he was afraid.
After trembling back to the front hall, he saw Chen Mu sitting in the front hall, and General Nie's knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
When Chen Mu saw General Nie's appearance, he only glanced at General Nie condescendingly, and then said.
"I don't need you to accuse, I just need you to tell me what is the reason why you have the audacity to bring troops into the city?"
"Attack me, and bring troops into the city, if this matter is not explained clearly, I will definitely not spare you and your people."
Seeing Chen Mu say this, General Nie nodded and responded.
