Chapter 429 Master, you have to hold on!
"I will go and invite them in person. This is really too infuriating. I really cannot accept it, and I cannot wait any longer. I will invite someone who can subdue them and take them down to avenge the death of your majesty."
"Surround them first, and don't let them escape. I'll be there right away."
"Wait, I will go with you and invite Prime Minister Dugu to chop these two people into pieces to avenge His Majesty."
Several county magistrates have rarely been able to work together as a team. They have united and worked together with one strength. They have no different opinions and are only determined to avenge Your Majesty.
They left behind their legal advisor and constable, watched Dijiang and Jiujiu, and went to get help themselves.
In fact, the several lawyers and constables were no match for Jiujiu and Dijiang. There was no point in keeping them. They themselves knew that they could not stop Jiujiu and Dijiang.
However, they did not retreat. Instead, they bravely went forward and used their flesh and blood to block the outside of the restaurant to prevent Dijiang and Jiujiu from escaping.
They looked ferocious and aggressive, and they would not let the two go, and even wanted to kill them.
But in reality, they are just paper tigers that will break with a slight pinch.
Jiujiu glanced at them, pulled out the sword that had stabbed the impostor's heart, and flew back to his original position.
Seeing that her fingers were stained with blood, Dijiang quickly took out a handkerchief from his bosom and went forward to wipe the blood off Jiujiu's fingers.
He wiped it carefully and gently, fearing that he would hurt the little girl.
Jiujiu was originally very calm, but she didn't know how Brother Dijiang wiped her hands, which made her ears feel hot involuntarily.
Jiujiu realized belatedly that Brother Dijiang's posture and expression were too ambiguous.
How do you wipe your hands like this?
Like seducing someone.
Jiujiu avoided Dijiang's meaningful gaze, and quickly snatched the handkerchief from Dijiang's hand and wiped her hands skillfully.
It can be wiped clean in just two seconds.
Why does it take so long?
Dijiang watched from the side and smiled indulgently.
His little girl is so cute.
The people on the side watched the two of them exchanging glances in public, their eyes widened in shock, their mouths opened wide, and they didn't close them for a long time.
There are also some people who do not mind making trouble and express their opinions bluntly.
"It's already this late, and these two are still in the mood to flirt? Should we say they are careless? Or should we say they have problems with their brains, stupid?"
"Aren't they worried at all? The county magistrate has been out for a while, he must have arrived at Prime Minister Dugu's house."
"The patrolling city guards must have run into it as well."
"I think the city patrol will come and arrest them soon. Let's see if they can act arrogantly again later?"
"Bah..."
There were many people who were disdainful, but they couldn't help but sneak a peek at the two of them out of the corner of their eyes, mainly because the two of them were too sweet.
They had never seen such a harmonious and beautiful pair of lovers getting along with each other in their entire lives.
.
As soon as the county magistrates went out, they ran into the patrolling city guards.
They briefly told the city guards what happened in the restaurant, and then urged them to guard the two people who were trying to assassinate His Majesty and not let them escape. They themselves went to Prime Minister Dugu's residence to meet Prime Minister Dugu.
Dugu Tianxin naturally wouldn't meet these minions as he had important things to do.
Several people received by the butler Lao Yu.
Lao Yu also told several county magistrates that if they had any problems, they could just tell him and he would pass the message to Lord Dugu.
Several county magistrates were in a dilemma. They hadn't met Lord Dugu yet. Should they tell him or not?
After hesitating for a long time, they decided to speak.
The first thing they said was: "Master Steward, it's bad, His Majesty has been killed..."
"What?" The old fisherman was shocked. The teapot in his hand suddenly loosened and fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the scalding tea spilled all over the floor.
Lao Yu's feet were also burned and he felt extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't care.
Your Majesty is the master's sweetheart!
Nothing can happen.
"You are not talking nonsense, are you?" Lao Yu came to one of the county magistrates with a dark face, grabbed his official uniform collar fiercely, and said angrily: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"Nothing can happen to your majesty."
"But it's true!" The county magistrate said tremblingly, "Your Majesty was in Wangjiang Tower. Because of the dispute over the real and fake Majesty, a very powerful woman pierced his chest with a sword and killed him on the spot. Several of you saw it with your own eyes."
"Wangjiang Tower? The dispute between the real and fake Majesty?" the old fisherman muttered.
His Majesty did go to Wangjiang Tower with the princess just now, and it was because of investigating the fake monarch.
I'm afraid these people are not lying.
Lao Yu clenched his fists and hurried to find Dugu Tianxin to convey the matter to him.
Dugu Tianxin didn't believe it at first. He even put down the letter he was reading and said seriously, "My grandson Dugu Tianxin is not that useless. He won't be killed easily."
"What's more, this is right at our doorstep."
"How is that possible?"
"Impossible, send those people away quickly."
Dugu Tianxin will meet a distinguished guest later, and the distinguished guest will come to the house and will be received in the main hall.
It's not appropriate to keep those people.
"But sir, what those people said was very detailed and they were so nervous, uneasy and worried..." The housekeeper stamped his feet anxiously, "It doesn't seem like they are talking nonsense."
"Moreover, the place where His Majesty was in trouble was really at the Wangjiang Tower nearby. They saw it with their own eyes."
"..." Dugu Tianxin couldn't remain calm after hearing this. He put down the letter in his hand, came to the butler, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you not talking nonsense?"
"No."
"Take me to see those county magistrates quickly." Dugu Tianxin wanted to hear the county magistrates say it in person.
"Yes, sir."
Lao Yu took Dugu Tianxin to meet several county magistrates.
The indignation and bewilderment of the county magistrates over the death of His Majesty were not fake, and they were very contagious. Moreover, they described the scene of His Majesty being stabbed in the chest with a sword in great detail, which made Dugu Tianxin believe it.
"how so?"
Dugu Tianxin's legs went limp and he fell to one knee on the ground. The color on his face faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he looked deflated and dejected.
The old fisherman stepped forward to support him, frowning and admonishing: "Master, you have to hold on!"
"I want to see Jiang'er, I want to see Jiang'er." Dugu Tianxin took a deep breath, struggled to stand up, and walked quickly outside.
Several county magistrates followed closely behind.
Seeing that Dugu Tianxin was stumbling as he walked due to the shock, taking one deep step and one shallow step, very unsteadily and almost falling, they wanted to step forward to help him and support him, so as to improve their good impression of him, but they were also afraid that the Prime Minister would suddenly take his anger out on him at this time.
They simply gave up the idea and followed obediently.
