The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 1172

The county magistrate shook his body, and his body was sweating like a waterfall, which wet his clothes almost instantly.

He didn't know how to explain this matter, so he didn't say anything at all, but quietly knelt on the ground, waiting for Her Majesty's disposal.

Gu Qingyi chuckled lightly, her voice was cold and indifferent, and she didn't let the county magistrate hear the slightest smile: "What's the matter, looking at it like this, you should know that this matter is fake?"

"Wei Chen doesn't know, it's just..."

The county magistrate gritted his teeth, said cruelly, "It's just that no matter what, no matter whether this matter is true or not, this minister is just following orders."

"So you think that even if someone falsely preaches the imperial decree, you are the one who is deceived, and even if I want to punish you, I will never punish you, don't you?"

The county magistrate lowered his head: "Yes."

Gu Qingyi slowly swirled the tea in the cup, and said in a calm tone, "Then do you know that there is a crime called continuous sitting?"

The county magistrate felt his body go weak, and he could hardly even kneel down. He slowly clenched his fists, kowtowed to the ground, and his voice was trembling: "Your Majesty is guilty, please forgive me."

Gu Qingyi raised her brows lightly, feeling that this county magistrate really has a lot of backbone.

Qin Shu turned his head and smiled at her: "Your Majesty."

Gu Qingyi then walked to his side, her tone was much gentler: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Qin Shu shook his head: "Actually, there is nothing to ask, the shadow guards have found out."

That simple sentence made the county magistrate's heart skip a beat.

It's hard to imagine, if he just said a lie, what would happen to him, maybe he can be regarded as a circle in the gate of hell?
Gu Qingyi nodded irresponsibly: "In that case, you should go back and stay in this position for two more years. When the errands are done to my satisfaction, when will you return to the imperial capital to report on your duties?"

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

"Come on, send him back."

The county magistrate who was safely sent back to his mansion by the shadow guard raised his hand and wiped off his cold sweat. When he was blown by the wind, he felt so cold that his whole body was wet.

He...he really escaped death.

If he had acted a little bit corruptly and perverted the law, if he had just said a lie in front of His Majesty and His Highness, he...he would really die.

The county magistrate who walked before the gate of hell felt full of fear.

After being afraid, I belatedly remembered His Majesty's explanation in my mind.

Stay in this position for two more years?The errands are done to satisfy His Majesty before returning to the imperial capital to report on the work?
That is to say, he has left an impression in His Majesty's heart, and a small official who left an impression in His Majesty's heart means that everyone knows what, maybe, his position can be mentioned further...

The county magistrate had a lot of thoughts, and immediately made up his mind that he must do his best to handle this errand well.

After the county magistrate left, the yard fell completely silent.

The shadow guards were on duty hidden in the dark, and there were only two people left in the spacious room.

Gu Qingyi knelt and sat behind Qin Shu, massaging his head, shoulders and neck with moderate strength with his long and slender fingers. Gentle strands of real air flowed through the tendons in his body, which effectively relieved his fatigue.

Even though Qin Shu didn't feel very tired, she felt a little drowsy after being pressed like this.
