Governor Deng glared at Deng Hao.
"Kneel down quietly and repent sincerely..."
"If I see you acting out of character again, I'll have to go back and kneel in the ancestral hall for another hour."
After saying this, Magistrate Deng walked towards the yamen with a dark face and shaking his sleeves.
This was the first time that Mr. Ma saw Deng Hao in such a miserable state. He was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
He thought his daughter was exaggerating, but it turned out that she was not exaggerating at all. The injury was indeed quite serious and it was impossible to exaggerate any further.
Master Ma looked at the pitiful Deng Hao, and when he thought about the fact that the heirloom was given away because Deng Hao had offended someone, he instantly lost the desire to comfort Deng Hao.
He looked at Deng Hao with disappointment and followed Deng Hao to the prefectural government office.
Mrs. Deng's voice trembled with distress.
"Son, bear with it a little longer. I will go and plead for you."
"Just be patient and don't cause any trouble..."
Mrs. Deng casually tidied up Deng Hao's messy hair, said a few words of comfort, and then hurriedly trotted to catch up with Magistrate Deng.
King Qianhuang has summoned you and there is no time to delay.
She must take this opportunity to plead for her son.
He's been beaten, he's been made to kneel, the people who should be killed have been killed, and the heirloom has been given away. King Qianhuang should have calmed down by now, right?
.......
"What happened at the gate of the prefectural government office? Why are there so many people?"
As Lu Man and Xia Mo walked to the gate of the prefectural yamen, they saw a group of people gathered at the door.
There were so many people that there was no way out.
Lu Man stopped in time and returned to the prefectural government office, looking outside in confusion.
"Xia Mo, go find out what's going on."
Xia Mo nodded, slipped out from the corner door, and ran through the crowd.
After a while, Xia Mo returned to Lu Man.
"My Lord, it is said that King Qianhuang was bumped into by someone when he went to Zuijinlou last night."
Lu Man's eyes fell on the fat man kneeling at the door.
"Zuijinlou!? Is this a place to eat?"
"This little fat guy overturned Seventh Brother's dining table?"
Otherwise, how could I have offended someone and been beaten so badly just for a meal?
This little fat guy must be too arrogant, and Prefect Deng's people found out, so...
The yamen runners who were escorting the fat boy were not Seventh Brother's men, but the ones who often followed Magistrate Deng.
Xia Mo pursed her lips, raised her eyelids and glanced at Lu Man.
"Zuijinlou is...a brothel."
Lu Man paused, "......"
Brothel!!!?
My seventh brother actually went to a brothel!!
Lu Man felt a dull pain in her heart.
She thought that her seventh brother had gone to the brothel in the past just to disguise himself and deceive the emperor.
At that time, when she heard that her seventh brother had gone to a brothel, she felt ashamed and thought that her seventh brother had brought shame to the Shen family.
Now that she knew her seventh brother had gone to the brothel, her heart was filled with disbelief and anger, mixed with a hint of disappointment...
Could it be that the seventh brother has always been in love with the girls in the prostitutes?
What is so good about those brothel girls that my seventh brother can't forget them even in his busy schedule?
Lu Man looked at the half-dead Deng Hao with a depressed look.
It seems that this little fat guy is competing with the seventh brother for a woman...
Lu Man took a deep breath and turned around without saying a word, walking towards the inner courtyard.
Xia Mo looked at Lu Man's footsteps, sighed, and followed...
.......
"Mother, my seventh brother went to a brothel last night."
Lu Man went straight to Old Lady Shen's yard, and asked Xia Mo to call all her sisters-in-law along the way.
This matter has become known to the whole city, so there is no need for her to hide it for her seventh brother.
Mrs. Shen, who had just sat down, frowned and looked at Lu Man with a little doubt.
"Where did you get the news?"
After observing for a period of time, she felt that Lao Qi was not the kind of person who was greedy for women.
The only maid in Lao Qi's yard is Jin Ju, and Jin Ju might be a spy, whom Lao Qi deliberately brought with him.
With Lao Qi's current status in Qianhuang City, if he wants to marry a woman, there are many people who will send women to his door. There is no need to go to a brothel, a place with smoke and chaos and complicated people.
The sisters-in-law looked at each other in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.
It was normal for my seventh brother to go to brothels in the past.
How could the seventh brother go to a brothel now? The whole city is under reconstruction and the seventh brother is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat at home. How could he have the time to visit a brothel?
Tan Qinghui frowned, "Could I have seen it wrong?"
"Yeah." The others nodded in agreement, but they didn't quite believe that the seventh brother would go to a brothel.
Lu Man bit her lip and said with a hint of anger,
"I actually hoped I was mistaken, but unfortunately, everyone in Qianhuang City probably knows about it now."
"Last night, someone tried to rob my seventh brother of a woman. That person offended my seventh brother and is now kneeling at the gate of the prefectural government office, covered in wounds, apologizing."
"Also, I heard that the man is the nephew of Magistrate Deng."
"Just as I was about to leave the house, I happened to run into Magistrate Deng with a man and a woman, rushing to see my seventh brother."
The more Lu Man spoke, the angrier she became.
When she met Magistrate Deng, she looked at the two people behind him and they looked like businessmen.
She didn't think much about it, thinking that the two men were following Magistrate Deng to do business with her seventh brother.
After all, they all knew that the seventh brother had produced 3 million kilograms of refined salt. He would definitely not keep all the salt for consumption, so some of it would definitely be given away.
Then it’s normal to meet some businessmen.
Now she thought about it again, that was not a businessman at all, it was clearly a relative of Magistrate Deng, who came to apologize to her seventh brother.
Old Madam Shen frowned and turned to look at Meixiang beside her.
"Go out and find out what's going on."
The third daughter-in-law has always been rash in her work, and the information she has obtained may not be comprehensive.
After hearing what Lu Man said, the sisters-in-law were all dumbfounded.
Everyone in the city knows about it, so it seems there is no mistake.
They were just curious about what kind of woman could make the seventh brother fight with others for her.
Cao Huixian puffed her lips and said in a slightly irritated tone,
"Seventh brother has returned to his old ways..."
"What nonsense." Cheng Suihua gave Cao Huixian a sidelong glance.
It's not something you can say casually. My seventh brother doesn't work in a brothel, so how can he say such harsh things?
However, when she heard that her seventh brother had gone to the brothel again, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Human nature is really hard to change.
Although what my seventh brother did in the capital before might have been a disguise for others to see.
But after so many years of pretending, it has become a habit to some extent, and I will naturally do it again when the conditions arise.
Old Madam Shen glanced at Cao Huixian,
"What should be said and what should not be said, do you still need me to teach you?"
She believed that Lao Qi was not someone who could not control himself.
There must be other reasons for this.
Seeing Mrs. Shen's face suddenly darken, the sisters-in-law all pursed their lips and dared not say a word.
