Thinking of this, Dong Lingjiu turned his head and took a deep breath.
When he turned his head again, Dong Lingjiu knelt down in front of Xia Tan'er with a plop.
This operation scared Xia Tan'er to the point where she stopped picking up vegetables and looked at Dong Lingjiu in front of her with a horrified expression.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, what are you doing?"
She really didn't expect that Dong Lingjiu, who was so noble, would one day kneel down, and even kneel in front of her.
But why?
"Song Lingcheng said that a man has gold at his knees but there is no shame in kneeling in front of his wife. Tan'er, this is my sincerity. Please forgive me."
"No...what did that guy Song Lingcheng teach you?"
Xia Tan'er was quite puzzled. She was neither a shrew Dong Lingjiu nor a henwife, and she hadn't committed any unforgivable sin, so why would she go to such an extent.
The main reason is that Xia Tan'er really can't see the proud man of heaven kneeling in front of her without dignity at this moment just to ask for her forgiveness. This feeling is like looking down on herself, which makes Xia Tan'er feel very sad. Not fast.
Dongling Jiu is the God of War in Dongling. Since he is the God of War, he should be respected by others, so there is a reason to kneel here.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, please get up and speak first."
"If you forgive me, I will get up."
"I have already said that there is nothing to forgive or not to forgive, and you have done nothing wrong."
"Tan'er, it seems you are still angry, so I will kneel down until you are angry."
Okay... We are trapped in an endless loop. Xia Tan'er and the two of them have no fun eating together.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, you get up and speak first. If outsiders see what you are like, I will be guilty of all my sins."
Even if she is the niece of the Lu family, she is not qualified to ask the prince of Dongling to kneel down and worship her!
"As I said before, if Tan'er forgives me, I will get up, and there is no need to talk about anything else."
"I forgive you, why don't you..."
At the same time, at the other end of the yamen, a group of yamen officials reluctantly took turns picking up boards and hitting their colleagues one after another.
Because I have been on duty for many years, I have become familiar with the weight of each hand of hitting the board, and there is not much pain when I know how to hit it. But now, in order to hide it from Feng Muchi's eyes, they are crying and howling, making the whole Yamen noisy. Extremely.
But how could Feng Muchi be an ordinary person? How could he not be able to tell the difference between real howling and false howling?
Looking at everything in front of him, Feng Muchi snorted coldly and glanced at the county magistrate again.
"Let me tell you, County Magistrate, the officers under you are really useless in training them. If this young master's subordinates were branded on the chest with a red-hot iron, they wouldn't even scream."
"Since you are using the planks to deal with me, how about this? It will save you some time and effort. Each of you will make a mark, and I will take care of the rest. What do you think?"
"This this……"
The officials below all raised their heads and looked at the county magistrate, pleading with the county magistrate not to agree to Feng Muchi.
But just as the county magistrate was hesitating, Xia Lingfu appeared at the door of the mansion.
The county magistrate's eyes lit up when he caught sight of Xia Lingzhu. Once he had a backer, he immediately put Feng Muchi aside and walked quickly to Xia Lingzhu's side.
"The lower official has met Mr. Xia. When Mr. Xia comes, my Han Mansion suddenly becomes brighter."
With Xia Lingfu here, even Xue Yan and Sun Shangshu wanted to sell him some face. And Xia Lingfu was a member of the Nine Emperors Uncles, so they were in the same boat as him. The county magistrate now felt at ease with himself and his subordinates. His life was saved.
