Words:2053Update:22/06/26 12:07:24
In the government office, the county magistrate was waiting for the families who didn't send anyone over. He also had a headache. These people wanted to bribe him, but the Regent was here. He didn't dare to accept it.
Seeing that he couldn't accept the money, the county magistrate's heart ached!
But when he saw Shi Sheng, his heart didn't ache anymore. His entire body ached.
This woman was his worst nightmare.
"Miss Ruan …" The county magistrate quickly stood up from his chair and kicked the person beside him. "Quickly get a chair for Miss Ruan."
Ding Xiang and Father Ding arrived at the same time. Seeing the county magistrate like this, they felt it was strange. Why was he trying to please Ruan Xiao Yang?
Shi Sheng sat at ease.
The county magistrate didn't dare to provoke Shi Sheng. He turned to look at Father Ding and Ding Xiang. "Old Master Ding, Miss Ding."
Father Ding bowed. "Sir."
"Greetings to Sir." Ding Xiang had just cried, so her voice was hoarse. But it wasn't unpleasant. Instead, it was a little seductive.
Father Ding wanted to speak, but the county magistrate waved his hand and said awkwardly, "Old Master Ding, I can't make the decision."
He glanced in another direction. "Miss Ding's age and appearance meet the selection requirements. Old Master Ding, don't be reluctant. Once you enter the palace, you will be able to enjoy glory and wealth, and bring glory to your ancestors."
"Father." Ding Xiang tugged at Father Ding's sleeve. She didn't want to enter the palace. She wanted to be with He Ting.
Father Ding walked towards the county magistrate and used his sleeve to block his view. He stuffed something into the county magistrate's hand. "Sir, I only have one daughter. If you help me think of a way, I will definitely thank you."
The county magistrate pinched the stack of banknotes that Father Ding stuffed into his hand. His mouth twitched in pain. After a while, he pushed it back. "Old Master Ding, it's not that I don't want to help you this time. I really have no choice. If I help you, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my official position."
The county magistrate quickly asked someone to record it.
Father Ding sighed and shook his head. If it was someone else, he could still give them money. But this time, it was the Regent.
How would he dare to give the Regent money?
"Miss Ruan …" After the county magistrate dealt with Ding Xiang, he forced a smile. "Look, if there's no problem, I'll record it.
"There's a problem." Shi Sheng looked up at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate's legs were weak. He supported himself on the table next to him to stand firm. "Miss Ruan, what's the problem?"
"I won't enter the palace."
"This … This official can't make the decision!"
If he could make the decision, his hands would have cramped up from counting the money.
When he woke up this morning, his eyelids kept twitching. He knew that something was going to happen. This Ruan Xiaoyang was not easy to deal with.
The county magistrate secretly waved his hand at the person beside him. He meant to ask someone to get the Regent. If he couldn't handle someone, he would ask the Regent to help.
The county magistrate didn't show it on his face. He persuaded the Shi Sheng to stall for time. "Miss Ruan, it's actually quite good to enter the palace. Many girls want to enter the palace but can't. Look at those girls outside. You have such a good opportunity. You must cherish it."
"Enter the palace to wait for death?" Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows. "What kind of place is the palace? If you enter without any background, you won't even know if you're killed."
Ding Xiang, who hadn't left yet, turned pale when she heard Shi Sheng's words. She clutched her father's hand tightly.
The magistrate was sweating profusely. "You can't say that."
"Then what should I say?"
The county magistrate was speechless. How would he know what to say? Why wasn't the Regent here yet?
Dugu Xiu was late. The county magistrate acted as if he had found his backbone and ran over quickly. "Your Highness."
The latter nodded slightly and looked at Shi Sheng, who was still sitting on the chair without any movement.
Ding Xiang's father and Ding Xiang knelt down to greet Dugu Xiu.
"How dare you, wicked woman. Why don't you kneel when you see the Regent?" Dugu Xiu's confidant shouted at Shi Sheng.
"Is he worthy?" Shi Sheng glanced at the confidant with an arrogant and disdainful expression.
"How dare you!"
Shi Sheng raised his head slightly. There seemed to be a smile on his face, but it also seemed like there was nothing. "So what if I'm impudent?"
The county magistrate stood beside Dugu Xiu. He was sweating profusely and was terrified.
She even dared to talk back to the Regent. Did this Ruan Xiaoyang want to die?
The confidant shouted angrily, "You wicked woman!"
He took a few steps towards Shi Sheng and reached out to grab Shi Sheng's hair. How could Qiu Shui stand by and watch? She went forward to block Shi Sheng. The confidant grabbed Qiu Shui's hair. Her neatly combed hair fell apart instantly. The confidant pulled her hair and threw her to the side.
"Ah!"
Qiu Shui was in pain. She used both hands to protect her hair, but the confidant was very strong. Qiu Shui's scalp tensed up.
Shi Sheng kicked the confidant almost at the same time. The place where he kicked was as sharp as usual.
"Ah!" The confidant's scream was much louder than Qiu Shui's. He let go of his hands and covered his crotch. His body was slightly bent and his face was full of pain.
Shi Sheng helped Qiu Shui up. "Are you okay?"
Qiu Shui's hair was loose and her eyes were slightly red. She shook her head slightly. "I'm fine."
Shi Sheng looked at Qiu Shui's scalp. Some of her hair had been pulled off. When he reached out his hand, it was all hair.
Shi Sheng's face darkened. He gently tidied up her hair. In the next second, he pulled out his sword without any warning. Everyone only saw the flash of the sword. The confidant who was still wailing just now had his eyes wide open and slowly fell to the ground.
Fresh blood seeped out of his body and slowly flowed on the ground.
"Ah! Murder! "Ding Xiang was so frightened that she hid in Father Ding's arms.
Du Gu Xiu was enraged. "Ruan Xiaoyang, do you still have me in your eyes?"
"No." Shi Sheng had an honest face. "You're not good-looking. Why should I have you in my eyes?"
You exist deep in the female lead's mind. How can a great Buddha like me tolerate a retard like you?
"Miss …" Qiu Shui's face was pale. She pulled Shi Sheng's sleeve slightly.
How could Miss kill someone in front of the Regent? It's over, it's over. Something bad is going to happen. It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, Miss wouldn't have done it. She didn't know if she could take the blame for Miss later.
"Ruan Xiaoyang has no respect for the law. She beat him to death," Du Gu Xiu said in a low voice.
Shi Sheng glanced at Du Gu Xiu. His gaze was too sarcastic. Du Gu Xiu had a bad feeling.
However, his dignity was challenged. Du Gu Xiu didn't withdraw his order.
In the end, Du Gu Xiu's confidant was beaten up by Shi Sheng.
After such a long time, Shi Sheng had some spiritual energy in his body. Although he couldn't fight with his bare hands, with the help of the Iron Sword, it wasn't a problem for him to kill a van of people.
"Du Gu Xiu, don't you dare have any ideas about I." Shi Sheng pointed the Iron Sword at Du Gu Xiu. "Do you think you're so great just because you're the Regent? I want the world to have whatever surname I want it to have. "
Du Gu Xiu's face was ashen. He glared at Shi Sheng viciously.
This woman wasn't arrogant. She was arrogant and conceited.
There were so many capable people in history. None of them dared to say that they could have whatever surname they wanted the world to have. Who gave her such confidence?
