Chapter 575 Trial
In the backyard study.
Wei Xing, who came first, asked You Ziyin and the others to sit down, and then ordered the maid to make a pot of fragrant tea to entertain them.
While waiting, Wei Xing said to the three of them, "You must seize this opportunity. If you can be favored by the lord, you will be able to enter the official career in the future."
"Don't worry, Chief Manager, we will perform well."
"General Manager, please take more care of us later!"
"That's right! We haven't had much contact with the lord, so we don't know his character. We have to rely on your care."
All three of them said with smiles on their faces.
Wei Xing smiled lightly and silently lowered his head to sip the tea without answering.
"Come quickly! There are assassins."
But at this moment, a guard suddenly shouted outside the study, and then there was a fierce fight outside.
You Ziyin and the other three were sitting in the study, stunned on the spot and had no idea what was going on.
Wei Xing stood up in a hurry and said, "You guys stay here, I'll go out and take a look."
"General Manager..." Before the three of them could say anything, Wei Xing had already rushed towards the door.
"Bah!"
But as soon as he rushed to the door, a masked killer rushed in quickly and slashed his chest with a sharp knife.
Wei Xing's body stiffened and he immediately fell to the ground.
You Ziyin and the other three were so frightened that they quickly got up and hid behind the desk.
The killer rushed in with a bloody knife in his hand, stared at the three of them and shouted angrily, "Tell me, who are you?"
"I...we just came here not long ago, so we don't know what's going on!" Youzi said in a trembling voice.
"It seems that you are the lord's lackeys. Today, on the order of the prince, we have come here specifically to eradicate Gu Chan, the lord of Jiangnan. Since you are related to him, today is the day for your death." The killer said cruelly.
You Ziyin was so frightened that he shouted quickly, "Strong man, you misunderstood. I am not the lord's lackey. This matter has nothing to do with me. I was just called here by the lord, and I don't know what happened."
"Where are you two?" the killer said, glaring at the other two.
Long Yu and the third young master Xie looked at each other, but they didn't look scared, but were very calm.
Looking directly at the killer, Long Yu took the lead and shouted coldly, "I advise you to run away quickly! This is the lord's mansion. You can catch them off guard. You are lucky. If all the guards come over in a moment, you won't be able to escape even if you want." ”
"That's right, and to put it bluntly, with your own strength, it's probably not easy to kill the three of us." Mr. Jie said as he walked out from behind the desk, blocking the way without fear. In front of the killer.
Long Yu also plucked up the courage to stand up and stand side by side with him.
Contrary to the two of them, You Ziyin was completely greedy for life and afraid of death. He trembled and hid aside and said, "Strong men, it's their business to show off their strength. If you want to kill them, just kill them." I have nothing to do with it!”
"I'll kill you too," the killer said fiercely.
"Strong man, as long as you are willing to spare my life, I will give you a lot of money." You Ziyin said with a cowardly look on his face.
"Hahaha..."
The killer immediately raised his head and opened his mouth to laugh.
The three of them were stunned by his laughter on the spot. Monk Zhang Er was completely confused. After the killer stopped laughing, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Young Master You, it's no wonder that you are still the first place in the Jiangnan Poetry Society. You are really a coward in the extreme. A person like you is not worthy of staying in this lord's mansion."
After speaking, he reached out and untied the black cloth covering his face, revealing his true face.
It turns out that the killer is none other than Ren Nanshan, the commander of the guards of the Lord's Mansion.
At this time, Wei Xing, who was lying at the door, slowly stood up from the ground and silently reached out to dust himself off.
You Ziyin was dumbfounded, "What's going on? Chief Manager, weren't you... killed just now?"
"If I die so easily, I can still be the general manager of the Lord's Mansion!" Wei Xing turned around and glanced at You Ziyin disdainfully.
You Ziyin completely stayed where he was.
Gu Chan walked in from the study door unhurriedly with a gloomy face.
After coming to the desk and sitting down, she stared at You Ziyin and said, "Young Master You, please come back! This lord respects all scholars in the world, but what I respect more is personal character. In the trial just now, your My performance disappointed me so much, so don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
"Lord... I... this..." You Ziyin was too embarrassed to speak.
Ren Nanshan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he immediately called two guards and forced him to leave, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Lord, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I will never let you down again."
You Ziyin kept struggling and shouting, begging.
Gu Chan turned a deaf ear and focused all her attention on Long Yu and the third young master Xie.
There is no doubt that the performance of the two of them just now, if not very good, is indeed qualified, and they cannot fake the aura of a strong person.
Contrary to them, You Ziyin's aura is just fake. Once he takes off the disguise, he will be a loser.
Long Yu couldn't help but salute Gu Chan and said with admiration, "As expected of the lord, you can think of such a method to test us. I really don't want to accept it."
"Yes! Just now I was worried, Lao Gao, and I was quite puzzled as to why a killer sent by the Crown Prince broke into the heavily guarded Lord's Mansion. Now I finally understand. Lord Lord is really good. What a trick!" Mr. Xie also shouted.
Gu Chan chuckled and said, "You two are pretty good. I quite like you. Come here, give them two bunches of candied haws to eat, so that they can calm down."
"Yes, lord." The maid waiting outside responded, immediately came in with two bunches of candied haws, and handed one of them to Long Yu and the third young master Xie.
But because of what happened just now, they all had to think in their minds whether this was the second trial given to them by Gu Chan while holding the candied haws, so they didn't dare to open their mouths and bite it for a long time.
Gu Chan smiled and said, "Eat! You're welcome."
"Thank you, Lord." The two said in unison.
Then they each took a shallow bite of the candied haws.
After they swallowed the candied haws in their mouths, they soon felt dizzy, then closed their eyes and fainted to the ground.
Gu Chan said with a speechless face, "These two fools, tell them to eat, and they actually eat. I am also speechless."
"Are they qualified now?" Ren Nanshan asked.
"Of course I passed. This is your trust in me! How can I fail!" Gu Chan said with a laugh.
Ren Nanshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. After that, he did not stay in the study anymore. Instead, he resigned and left with several of his acting guards.
