Pumpkin said, "he brought his daughter outside and said he had something to tell the county magistrate. Have you seen or not?"
Zhong shuran wanted to say no, but on second thought, he thought it was a good chance to get out.
"I have something to go out. Please help yourself, marquis."
Then he ran to the hall building.
The pumpkin was ruthlessly abandoned in place. He looked at the knife in Gu Fei's hand and said carefully: "there is really nothing between my master and the county leader. Those people outside are nonsense. If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask the county leader."
Gu Fei put his knife back into the scabbard: "knowing that so many people outside are talking about eight things, why don't Zhong Shu find out? He's a county magistrate. Doesn't he care about his reputation at all? "
Pumpkin said bitterly, "the master sent someone to check, but the rumor spread so fast that it was difficult to find out the truth for a while."
"Since you can't find out, I'll check it myself and let me find out who's behind the rumors... Ah."
Gu Fei sneered.
Pumpkin scared his scalp numb and subconsciously shrunk his shoulders.
He didn't meet the marquis in front of him many times, but every time he saw Gu Fei, he felt deeper and deeper every time.
Intuition told him that it was best not to provoke Gu Fei, otherwise the end would be terrible.
Just then, Peng Mu trotted all the way to Gu Fei.
"Lord Hou, Lord Xian Zun, please come over."
Gu Fei asked, "did you say what it was?"
"It seems to be about rumors."
"Take me there."
Peng Mu led the way in front, and Gu Fei followed. They walked into the hall building one after another.
In the spacious hall, Zhong sat on the main seat, and helun knelt on the ground with his daughter.
He Lun kept apologizing: "my daughter is young and not sensible. She made such a mistake on impulse. Please look at her for the first time and be open to her."
He Jiao bowed her head and sobbed, "I'm wrong. I won't dare again."
Zhong Shu ran said, "you are also a woman. You know how important fame is to women. How can you slander the reputation of the county leader at will?"
He Jiao raised her head and showed her tearful face: "I didn't mean it. I just said it casually, and there were no outsiders at that time. I thought they wouldn't say it. I didn't expect things to be so big."
Zhong suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Fei coming in and immediately stood up.
"Hou ye, the originator of the rumor is he Jiao. All the rumors came out of her mouth. You can ask her face to face."
Gu Fei looked at he Jiao kneeling on the ground.
When he Lun and he Jiao heard the Marquis of Zhong shuran, they immediately turned and looked at Gu Fei.
Both father and daughter were stunned.
They didn't expect the Marquis to be so young.
He Jiao, in particular, straightened her eyes when she saw Gu Fei's unique face.
She originally thought that Zhong shuran was already a rare beautiful man, but compared with the young marquis in front of her, Zhong shuran's appearance immediately fell a grade.
Gu Fei looked at her coldly and asked, "why do you slander others?"
He Jiao was flustered by his cold eyes. She hurriedly took back her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "I really didn't mean to spread rumors. I just said it casually..."
Gu Fei interrupted her explanation and spit out two words coldly.
"Lie."
He Jiao's body trembled slightly, and her heart became more and more flustered. The two grabbed the silk handkerchief, almost breaking it.
She said with difficulty, "I didn't lie. What I said is true."
He Lun quickly spoke out to protect his daughter: "Jiao Jiao has been spoiled and raised by us since she was a child. She is naive and simple. She doesn't understand how dangerous the people outside are, so she makes a mistake for a moment. But her nature is still very good. She knows she is wrong and takes the initiative to admit her mistake and apologize to the county magistrate. "
Gu Fei's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "you probably don't know what I do. I'm the Zhen Fu envoy of the Fu division of North Town. I'm in charge of more than 1000 royal guards. Should you know the royal guards?"
When he Lun heard the three words of royal guards, his face turned pale for a moment.
"Yes," he said shivering
Gu Fei then said, "since you've heard of the royal guards, you should know the style of the royal guards. I'd like to ask you calmly now. I'm giving you a chance to be frank and lenient, but if you have to fight tenaciously, I'll have to ask you to stay in the prison for a few days."
He Jiao hurriedly said, "I don't want to go to jail! Dad, help me! "
She clung to Helen's sleeve, her face full of fear.
If she had just seen Gu Fei, she would have been amazed at his appearance. Now when she faced him, she was only completely afraid.
He Lun desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Lord, forgive me, Lord!"
Gu Fei looked down at them and said coldly, "I'll ask you again for the last time. Why do you make up rumors to discredit the county Lord and county magistrate Zhong? What do you have against them? "
He Jiao didn't want to say, but if she didn't, she would have to be put in prison.
It is said that the prison is dirty and smelly, as well as mice and cockroaches.
Just thinking about her makes her itchy and uncomfortable.
She said in a very soft voice, "in fact, I'm not a rumor. I really... I really saw the Jiuqu County Lord and the county Lord holding together."
As soon as he said this, Zhong suddenly jumped three feet high and shouted, "you're talking nonsense!"
Anyway, all the words had been said. He Jiao simply said everything she knew in one breath.
"I didn't talk nonsense. On the day when the county master's house held the full moon wine, I followed my parents to the county master's house for a banquet. I accidentally caught the county master and Jiuqu county master talking. They were very close at that time and looked like hugging each other. Lord Hou, believe me. I'm telling the truth. If there's a lie, I'll die! "
Seeing that she even made a poison oath, it didn't look like lying, so Gu Fei looked at Zhong shuran again and forced him to give an explanation.
Zhong shuran felt that he really couldn't speak clearly with his mouth all over his body.
"On the day of the full moon wine, I did go to the county leader. We had a private chat. We really just had a chat. We didn't do anything special! If you don't believe it, you can ask the county Lord. "
He Jiao muttered, "if you're just chatting, why are you standing so close? It's not that you can't hear it. "
Helen gave her a hard pull and motioned her to shut up.
Guffer asked again, "did you hear what they talked about?"
He Jiao shook her head: "too far apart, I didn't hear anything."
"Where were you standing?"
He Jiao explained the situation in detail.
