Hearing this, Luo Lan pulled the corner of his mouth, snorted in disdain, and his voice became much louder.
"Manager Nie, are you planning to go back on your word in front of so many people? Everyone heard our bet an hour ago. If I heal this person, you will... personally kneel down to admit your mistake to Xiaozhi and Agang, and accept the five big sticks from my Yu Palace as punishment for using private punishment to injure someone. You haven't forgotten it, have you?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the people behind her, "Am I right?"
Immediately, people from Prince Yu's Mansion echoed in the crowd, "That's right, that's right, we heard it clearly."
When the common people heard someone speak, they also echoed, "Yes, we heard it too. Manager Nie, kneel down."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Nie looked a little embarrassed, everyone started to laugh and jeered, "Shopkeeper Nie, kneel down and admit your mistake."
"Kneel down and admit your mistake!"
"Kneel down and admit your mistake!"
Nie Changan was so angry at this time that he was fuming. He clenched his fists tightly, frowned and looked at Lord Lu, wanting him to say something for him.
Just as Lord Lu was about to speak, Luo Lan interrupted him and said to him:
"Lord Lu, you heard what Manager Nie said just now. Now, in front of everyone, you, as a responsible official, must not show favoritism. Otherwise, even if I report this to the emperor, I will demand redress."
She used the emperor to pressure him?
Lord Lu hesitated for a moment. He heard that the emperor had really summoned Princess Yu a few days ago. Although he didn't know what was said, she really had the opportunity to meet the emperor.
What if he handled the matter improperly and she mistakenly thought that he was biased towards Nie Changan? Given Princess Yu's temper, if she got angry and really went to the emperor to complain, it would be difficult for him to explain to the emperor.
No matter what, he, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, cannot be accused of being partial.
So, he cleared his throat and whispered to Nie Changan:
"Manager Nie, a real man should stick to his word. Han Xin could endure the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch, and Lian Po could even kneel naked and bear the thorns on his back to apologize. What's the harm in Manager Nie kneeling? Maybe your kneeling..."
"Shut up."
Nie Changan suddenly waved his arms at Lord Lu impatiently, glaring at him with gritted teeth.
"Master Lu, you've received a lot of favors from me, Nie Changan, over the years. Why don't you support me now? Then I, Nie Changan, won't have to curry favor with you in the future. Just wait and see!"
After saying this, he glanced at the people blocking the door and walked forward. Seeing that he wanted to leave by force, Ah Hou and others stepped forward to block him.
"Shopkeeper Nie, do you want to run away?"
Nie Changan looked at him with a dark face, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Get out of the way, or you will suffer the consequences."
Ah Hou stood in front of him without a care, "No, if you lose, you must kneel down and admit your mistake."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and came behind him, kicking him hard on the calf. Nie Changan felt his legs go weak, and without thinking too much, he fell to his knees.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi and Agang puffed out their chests and stood in front of him.
At this moment, Nie Changan's face darkened even more. Just as he was about to get up from the ground, Ah Hou stepped even harder on his calf, shouting angrily:
"Apologize……"
The Queen's behavior made Nie Chang'an feel furious. When he came in the morning, he relied on his relationship with Lord Lu and did not let the servants in the mansion follow him. Instead, he came alone in a swagger.
He thought that no one dared to touch him. If he had known this, why didn't he bring some servants with him?
But now, he was being suppressed by a servant in Prince Yu's mansion.
But the current situation is that Lord Lu is useless, and Princess Yu is relentless. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to escape unscathed today.
He secretly comforted himself in his heart: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Princess Yu, just wait for me.
Since he couldn't escape, he simply clasped his hands together and raised his voice and said:
"I don't know which fool in Changshou Hall hurt you two. I will definitely go back and investigate. Here, I, the shopkeeper of Changshou Hall, apologize to you two on behalf of my servants who didn't have any eyes."
Xiaozhi and Ah Gang raised their heads with smugness on their faces. Shopkeeper Nie said coldly to Ah Hou, who was still stepping on his calf:
"Can you let me get up now?"
"Can't……"
Ah Hou chuckled and then said to the person opposite:
"Dachuan, bring the board. Manager Nie still owes Xiaozhi and Agang five big boards."
Hearing this, Nie Changan gnashed his teeth and looked at Luo Lan, "Princess Yu, please don't go too far. What good will it do you to embarrass me like this?"
Luo Lan shrugged and looked at him innocently. "Shopkeeper Nie, it's not nice to hear you say that. I'm not trying to embarrass you. This is what we agreed on beforehand. I'm not the only one who heard it, everyone heard it, right?"
Seeing this, the servants and maids of Prince Yu's Mansion stood in the crowd and echoed loudly with the people.
"Yes, we all heard it, Manager Nie, you should be punished."
Nie Changan now feels like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
He was panting and trying to struggle to get up when someone handed the board to Ah Hou.
Ah Hou picked up the board and pushed Nie Changan to the ground with one foot. Before anyone could react, she slapped him hard on the butt.
One, two, three...
Nie Changan's wails echoed in the court. Although Lord Lu felt that this was inappropriate, he did not dare to say anything. After all, they had already made an agreement.
