When several guards saw that he was really an imperial envoy, they knelt down and begged for mercy after listening to their master's words.
"Hmph! If you dare to offend the imperial envoy and despise the imperial court, the imperial envoy cannot tolerate such a villain! The servant made a mistake because the master did not train him well. Maybe Patriarch Qu also despises the imperial envoy and the imperial court when he is in the house on weekdays.
of."
Yi Lanshan hates Qu Huaiyun so much that she can still wait and see what happens, and is fooled by Qu Huaiyun, an old fox, with just a few words?
If he catches such an opportunity, he will step on it a few times.
Even if you can't do anything to Qu Huaiyun, you can just make him feel disgusted.
"Haha! Why should Patriarch Yi have trouble with these servants? He has lost his grace!"
Qu Huaiyun laughed, but he looked like Yi Lanshan was petty and had no air of a wealthy family.
At the same time, this was also said to Gu Chengyu. Although there were only a few guards, if the guards were punished, it would be a disgrace to him.
The guard's life is his dignity.
Gu Chengyu smiled and said, "I am not that kind of person."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Qu Huaiyun's face became even bigger.
Yi Lanshan suddenly became furious and secretly cursed Gu Chengyu as a coward.
"However, these people have despised me, and I can forgive them. But they have despised the court, and even the emperor, so they cannot be forgiven. In order to prevent them from doing it again, I can only give them small punishments and big warnings."
"Achen, go slap them in the mouth and let them remember it for a long time!" Gu Chengyu said with a smile.
Lu Chen was stunned. Gu Chengyu actually dared to order him to do the work of a servant. Could it be that he really regarded herself as his follower?
Ming Mo and Ming Yan were stunned when they heard this. His master is so courageous!
Aren't you afraid that Mr. Lu won't give him face, which will cause embarrassment? The dignified imperial envoy can't even summon a follower.
And if this is the case, it will give people clues, and maybe Mr. Lu's identity will be revealed.
Just when Ming Mo wanted to step out and do it himself, Lu Chen made a move.
Although Lu Chen cursed in his heart, his actions were not slow.
It's just that Gu Chengyu didn't say how many slaps on the mouth, so he was a little confused, thinking that he would stop when he was beaten enough!
Yi Lanwen glanced at Qu Huaiyun, with a hint of pride on his face. Old man, I'm making you proud.
Qu Huaiyun's face looked really ugly at the moment. He didn't expect Gu Chengyu to be so disrespectful that he would beat his servants in front of him.
Gu Chengyu was thinking that it would be better to let Lu Chen do such rough work as mouth-palming! Who told him that his current status is that of his follower? A follower should do what a follower does.
What's more, he saved Lu Chen's life just now, doesn't Lu Chen need to repay him a little bit?
Gu Chengyu didn't think he had any evil intentions, he just wanted to get some reward back! After all, he couldn't let Lu Chen know about his rescue of Lu Chen.
"What are you doing?" Just when Lu Chen walked in front of those people and was about to take action, another loud voice sounded from the side.
Gu Chengyu turned around and saw that it was Liao Cheng, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture.
"Master Liao!" When Qu Huaiwen saw Liao Cheng coming, he felt as if he had seen a savior and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Sir! Just now my guards offended Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu wants to punish them, you have to slap him."
After Qu Huaiwen saluted, he complained to Liao Cheng, his tone even a little aggrieved.
"Oh? What's going on? Is it those guards?"
Liao Cheng turned his eyes and looked at the people kneeling on the ground with somewhat embarrassed expressions.
"Exactly! They wanted to check whether Master Gu was the imperial envoy, so there were some misunderstandings between them."
Qu Huaiwen was the first to answer. Ming Mo and the others were aggrieved by such confusing words.
Although Gu Chengyu sighed in his heart that Qu Huaiyun was really shameless, he was not angry.
What's there to be angry about with irrelevant people?
"Alas! Mr. Gu, those who don't know are not guilty. Please, Mr. Gu, please don't argue with these rough people!"
Liao Cheng actually helped to plead for mercy, which is definitely not common in official circles.
Even if Gu Chengyu's rank is lower than Liao Cheng, since Gu Chengyu is planning to punish several servants, it would be too disrespectful for Liao Cheng to interfere with Gu Chengyu.
In the officialdom, I would never do this unless I had to.
Doing this means not taking the other party seriously. If you are more petty-minded, you will become a grudge.
Gu Chengyu was indeed unhappy. Was he not taking himself seriously? Was he bullying his tender face?
"Master Liao! It's not because I want to argue, but because they are disrespectful to the court and the emperor!"
Gu Chengyu stood with his body in mind. Although Liao Cheng was two ranks higher than him, he was an imperial envoy now and he could not be groveling.
As for the fact that he no longer has the status of imperial envoy in the future, when he sees Liao Cheng, he will naturally still have to salute according to his rank. However, that is a matter for the future, and he can't control it now.
Liao Cheng's face instantly darkened. He was unhappy that Gu Chengyu was so ignorant.
In fact, how could Gu Chengyu be such an unreasonable person? He would do this because he wanted to kill the spirit of the three great families so that he, the imperial envoy, could not be taken seriously.
Secondly, those guards offended him and were reluctant to apologize later. In this case, there was no need for him to be polite.
"However, since Mr. Liao pleads for them, I will be lenient. Achen, give each of them five slaps and let this matter be over!"
When Lu Chen saw that Gu Chengyu was determined to fight, he didn't say anything more and started to fight directly.
The sound of "pah pah pah" was heard endlessly, and within a moment, Lu Chen withdrew his hand.
Looking at those people again, their faces were swollen to varying degrees.
Lu Chen is a martial arts practitioner, so his hands are naturally strong. Besides, he didn't hold back, so he really hit hard with all his strength.
Qu Huaiyun felt that this was not a slap in the face of those guards, but that slap was clearly a slap in his own face!
"Clan Leader Qu! Although he is a servant, he must be well trained. If you offend me today, I will forgive you for the sake of Lord Liao and you. But if you offend any nobleman in the future, what will happen?
Don’t you want to cause trouble?”
Gu Chengyu smiled faintly and took in the expressions of everyone present.
"Clan Chief Yi, I heard that the house was flooded just now and was attacked at night. I wonder if anything was lost in the house?"
Gu Chengyu ignored the thoughts of these people and asked about the situation in the mansion.
Yi Lanshan was stunned and didn't know how to answer the question.
He said that the treasure map was stolen, but he told Gu Chengyu that the treasure map was not in Yi Mansion. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
But if he didn't steal it, how could he get through it with so many people watching tonight?
"Ahem! The Yi clan had obtained half of Wang Mang's treasure map before, and it might have been hidden in the study there. Several groups of people came just now, and one of them stole the treasure map. Isn't that right? He knew that the Yi clan leader didn't have enough manpower.
