Ah, can he still make it in time if he were to send a request of departure from Tianjing to His Majesty?
The Magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture had no tears left to cry, and with a sense of hopelessness, he waved his hand and said, “Send someone to apprehend… to invite Master Gu from the Gu family to the prefectural office.”
Whether it was Master Gu from the Gu family or the Guardian Princess of the Nation, neither of them was someone he could afford to offend.
For now, he could only go with the flow, hoping to turn a big problem into a small one and resolve minor issues.
“But what if Master Gu refuses to come?”
The Magistrate was at a loss for words, his gaze flickering. “Have the prefectural secretary take the sword bestowed by His Majesty and go.”
Because the Magistrate often had to deal with disputes among the powerful figures in the capital, there was once a prefecture magistrate from the Shuntian Prefecture who was beaten to death by someone. In a fit of anger, the Emperor bestowed the sword upon the succeeding prefecture magistrate, thus increasing the magistrate’s authority in the Shuntian Prefecture.
However, the current prefecture magistrate of the Shuntian Prefecture felt that even with the sword, he might not be able to persuade a Saint. It might be better to let the prefectural secretary bear the brunt of the storm.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Gu residence was tense.
Old Master Gu had chosen to make peace with Gu Qingluan, and the rest of the Gu family members felt truly aggrieved.
Especially Gu Zhicheng.
He was already a Saint, and he had thought that his father’s return would allow them to join forces to suppress Gu Qingluan. To his surprise, his father not only didn’t deal with Gu Qingluan but also first dealt with him, forcing him to divorce his wife.
And to make matters worse, he had been scolded severely, leaving him utterly humiliated.
Just as the family was in turmoil, people from the Shuntian Prefecture arrived.
Upon hearing the message from the servants, the Gu family members all looked puzzled. “What are they here for?”
“It seems to be a case involving Master Gu. They are requesting Master Gu to visit the prefectural office of the Shuntian Prefecture.”
Gu Zhicheng was still furious and, in his anger, said, “Now even a lowly prefecture magistrate from the Shuntian Prefecture dares to speak in such a tone with me? 1 won’t go!”
“The prefectural secretary of the Shuntian Prefecture is coming personally, carrying the sword bestowed by His Majesty. If you refuse to go, it will be equivalent to defying an imperial decree,” the messenger cautioned cautiously.
Gu Zhicheng and Gu Hongkang exchanged a glance.
To actually use the sword bestowed by His Majesty, does that young fellow from the Shuntian Prefecture think he can get away with this? How dare he treat him like this!
Gu Hongkang instructed his servants to bring the prefectural secretary inside.
After a moment, the prefectural secretary nervously entered the hall, his face turned pale, his body trembling, and his hands tightly clutching a long, rectangular brocade box.
“The humble one pays respects to Old Master Gu and Master Gu.”
“Yang Prefectural Secretary, there’s no need to be formal. May 1 inquire about the purpose of summoning Zhicheng to the Shuntian Prefecture?”
The prefectural secretary swallowed hard, feeling that if he spoke the truth, his life might be in danger.
But he had no choice but to explain.
After stammering and trembling, he explained his purpose
Clang!
A loud noise followed.
Immediately, the sturdy table shattered into several pieces, falling to the floor.
The prefectural secretary felt as if he had seen himself being smashed to pieces by someone’s palm, and he almost passed out from fear.
“I knew that stubborn girl wouldn’t give up so easily!” Gu Zhicheng cursed with a dark expression.
Gu Hongkang furrowed his brow.
He hadn’t expected his granddaughter to be so stubborn, to the point of being foolishly obstinate.
He had thought she would understand the pros and cons and be willing to reconcile.
Gu Zhicheng turned to Gu Hongkang, his face as dark as coal. “Father, I can see that if we don’t deal with that girl once and for all, our Gu family will never have peace!”
Gu Hongkang’s face darkened, and he remained silent, leaving people uncertain about what he was thinking.
Under the wrath of the two Saints, the prefectural secretary dared not even take a breath. If it weren’t for the sword bestowed by His Majesty in his hand, he might have already fainted.
Gu Hongkang said, “You should go to the Shuntian Prefecture first. Since the Shuntian Prefecture has deployed the sword bestowed by His Majesty, not going is equivalent to defying an imperial decree. There’s no need to offend the Emperor over a momentary anger. Perhaps this is exactly what Gu Qingluan wants to see.”
Gu Zhicheng suppressed the anger surging in his throat.. “Let’s just kill her and be done with it! Father, what are you hesitating for?”
