To say that he was here to regulate the relationship between the two couples, to be more precise, it seemed that he was deliberately causing changes in the couple's family.
"I'm curious. She seems to have experienced this herself. If we hadn't known you two, I would have been deceived by her."
Gu Zixu was talking happily when Nangong Shuo suddenly stopped in his tracks.
There was a danger in the cold eyes that even made Gu Zixu tremble with fear.
Seeing him narrowing his eyes, he moved slightly closer to him, his deep black eyes filled with firelight.
Hearing him grit his teeth, he said, "If it wasn't for your sake, I would have killed her on the spot!!"
Gu Zixu was stunned for a moment because of his words, and then he burst into laughter.
It seemed that the Queen had to rely on this "unusual" relationship with him to stay safe and sound.
He touched the tip of his nose with some sarcasm and said: "It seems that the Queen is really capable, and she actually made you so angry."
It would be okay if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Nangong Shuo's face became even uglier.
He cast his cold eyes on Gu Zixu, and the ice in his eyes did not diminish. He reached out and grabbed Gu Zixu's smooth skirt, gritted his teeth and said:
"You go back and warn her, don't force me to cancel my last chance to save her life."
After saying that, he shook off Gu Zixu and continued walking along the long street.
Gu Zixu didn't say anything, he just looked down at Nangong Shuo's angry back with a smile, slowly straightened his wrinkled front, and smiled quite meaningfully.
Tibu followed him until the two of them passed by the magistrate's office.
At this time, a man was thrown out of the magistrate's office. There were blood stains all over his body, and his face was bruised and swollen.
"You dare to bring trouble to the prefect's Yamen again if you are not honest."
The man who threw him out was led by a policeman who looked like a policeman, with a warning look in his eyes, glaring fiercely at the man on the ground who had been thrown to the point where he could not stand up.
This man was thrown directly in front of Nangong Shuo's footsteps, causing Nangong Shuo and Gu Zixu to stop at the same time.
At the same time, a group of people gradually gathered outside the magistrate's office, pointing and whispering.
Nangong Shuo lowered his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him. He was a middle-aged man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. He was not very old, but he looked much older than his actual age.
Coupled with the fact that the nose and face were swollen from the beating, it looked even more unsightly.
The corners of his mouth and teeth were covered in blood, which looked a little shocking.
Nangong Shuo frowned slightly, leaned down and helped the man up, and said in a cool voice with a bit of majesty, "What's going on?"
After hearing Nangong Shuo's question, the man seemed a little aggrieved. He spat out the blood in his mouth with a "poof" sound. He glanced at the prefect's Yamen with full of anger.
He said angrily: "The magistrate is such a bad official. The imperial court allocates money to help poor families every year, and our family is also included in it. However, it has been half a year since the magistrate has given out any money. We don't have much food at home. In addition,
This time, when a typhoon hit, the house leaked and could not be repaired, and several children at home had no food to eat. I had no choice but to go to the government office to ask, but the prefect avoided seeing me and asked these crazy dogs to beat me up.
It was thrown out abruptly."
As the man spoke to the end, he became angrier and angrier. At the same time, the people around him also became indignant.
