Chapter 244 It’s over, forced to a dead end
Zhongyuan City County Government Office.
It was almost dark when Gu Chan came over with the two officials.
At this time, Zheng Shixian was still sitting in the county government hall, with two rows of official officials standing on both sides.
Ding Sheng, on the other hand, was like a dead dog. He had already collapsed in the court with fear. Seeing that Gu Chan finally came, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and suddenly crawled to Gu Chan's feet and hugged her legs with both hands. Crying, "Shopkeeper Gu, you are here, you must save my life! Wuwuwu..."
At the end of the story, Ding Sheng was crying with snot and tears, looking extremely disgusting.
Gu Chan kicked him away with a straight face and said with great anger, "If I had known you were going to drag me into the water, I shouldn't have saved your life in Wuheng County and let you die."
"Okay, stop arguing, Shopkeeper Gu. I have been waiting for you for a long time. You have to explain it clearly to me next. Otherwise, I will have to report it to the court and let the emperor decide the matter." Zheng Shixian He patted the gavel and said with a wicked smile.
Gu Chan's face instantly turned pale.
Zheng Shixian glanced at her with squinting eyes, the evil smile on his face couldn't stop at all.
You know, Gu Chan had promised him before that she would help him chase Liu Xueer, but until now, he had been stumped by the three things Liu Xueer wanted.
After thinking about it for so many days, he seemed to understand that this was probably a damaging trick played by Gu Chan on Liu Xueer, with the purpose of teasing him.
So now that the opportunity has come, how can he not settle the score with Gu Chan?
Gu Chan also understood that coming here this time would probably be a disaster, but she couldn't show her timidity from the beginning, so she could only bravely say, "County Master, I am just a nobody, and I speak lightly. If you want to ask the emperor, what can you do?" I’m afraid it’s impossible to spare his life.”
"He stopped saying, are you from Tianji Pavilion in Kyoto?" Zheng Shixian said with a sneer.
"Can you talk about this in front of so many people?" Gu Chan asked.
Zheng Shixian was not afraid at all, "What can't be said about this? Everyone in Tiancang Kingdom knows that Tianji Pavilion is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. Since he is a member of Tianji Pavilion, his words in front of the emperor still have weight. Ding Sheng came from Considering this aspect, it is reasonable for you to intercede for him. "
"..." Gu Chan.
"Why, you can't lie, can you? Are you taking advantage of Tianji Pavilion and deliberately deceiving others?" Zheng Shixian pressed forward step by step.
Gu Chan stood there and couldn't help but tighten her fists.
The next second, she simply gritted her teeth, reached into her sleeve and took out the black token, raised it high, and said coldly, "Here is the Secret Order, why don't you kneel down quickly."
Zheng Shixian's eyes widened when he saw it.
Then he quickly stood up and ran to Gu Chan, bent down and looked carefully at the Tianji Token in her hand. When he confirmed that it was indeed the Tianji Pavilion's Tianji Token, he immediately softened his legs and knelt down in front of Gu Chan, " Zheng Shixian, the magistrate of Zhongyuan City, pays homage to Lord Gu of Tianji Pavilion."
The two rows of officials on both sides of the court also quickly knelt down and saluted.
Gu Chan sighed helplessly in her heart, "It's over. It's over now. I'm forced to do this. I'm afraid even the gods won't be able to save me."
Thinking this in her heart, Gu Chan didn't say anything, but still pretended to be calm and put on airs and said, "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Sir Gu." Zheng Shixian responded respectfully and stood up from the ground. Then he quickly waved to the officials on both sides and motioned them all to get out.
All the officials did not dare to neglect, they all quickly left the court and waited outside.
Gu Chan said, "Master Zheng, although Ding Sheng and I don't have a very good relationship, I have to be fair. When the enemy troops of the Earth and Moon Kingdom invaded the border, in order to protect the people on the border, he had to choose to surrender. It was precisely because he did this that he created the opportunity for my godfather to save the people, and he himself was secretly involved in saving the people, so he did not deserve to die. "
"Okay, okay, whatever Mr. Gu says will be whatever. After that, I will write a memorial and send it to Kyoto to clarify the matter to the emperor, and then the emperor will make a decision." Zheng Shixian said with a smile.
Ding Sheng hurriedly kowtowed to Gu Chan, "Thank you, Master Gu. I will remember your life-saving grace and will sacrifice my life to repay you in the future."
"Come on! Look at how useless you are." Gu Chan waved her hand angrily.
Ding Sheng laughed happily and quickly stood up from the ground.
Gu Chan put away the Tianji Order and said calmly, "Master Zheng, can we leave then?"
"Master Gu, this is not possible! Until the memorial is sent to Kyoto and the emperor's decision is made, you all have to stay in the county government temporarily." Zheng Shixian said sinisterly.
The heart in Gu Chan's chest was pounding for a moment.
If she can get out now, she still has time to lead everyone to pack up and run away, but if she can't get out, once her impersonation of Master Tianji Pavilion is revealed, she may have to be executed.
So it would be false to say that she wasn't flustered at the moment.
Zheng Shixian seemed to notice something strange about her appearance, and immediately ordered from outside the door, "Come here, take Mr. Gu and Ding Sheng to the west courtyard to stay for a while. We will entertain them with good wine and food, but don't treat them badly."
"Master Zheng, there's no need for this! It's so troublesome for you!" Gu Chan said, pretending to be calm.
"Master Gu, although you have the Tianji Order in hand, this matter still needs to go to Kyoto first and be confirmed by the Emperor and Tianji Pavilion before it can be decided. If you insist on leaving now, I dare not stop you, but I will send The officials are sent to guard outside your hospital. You can just stay in your hospital while waiting. What do you think?" Zheng Shi wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of Gu Chan and others.
Anyway, he didn't believe at all that a little kid like Gu Chan could still be an adult from Tianji Pavilion.
And the most important thing is that the handsome man in black sent by Tianji Pavilion before went to the border. He came to the Zhongyuan City County Office to meet with him and explained many things to him.
Therefore, he had a clear idea in his mind. The real master of Tianji Pavilion failed to come back from the border, and now this piece of Tianji Order fell into Gu Chan's hands. There must be something wrong with this.
As long as this matter is reported to Kyoto, Gu Chan's lies will be self-evident. Once the emperor and I are blamed, Gu Chan and everyone else will be executed. This is the time he is waiting for.
This is enough to show how cunning and cunning he really is.
Gu Chan glared at Zheng Shixian. After all, she had no choice but to nod in agreement. Under the escort of the officials, she and Ding Sheng went to the county government's west courtyard.
It was better for her to be imprisoned alone than for everyone in the hospital to be imprisoned together.
This time she was forced into a corner!
