Master Su immediately looked righteous and scolded the servant next to him, "You bold servant, you dared to make a fake indenture to fool me!"

The servant was full of grievances and lowered his head and dared not speak.

The prefect above coughed lightly and began to judge, "The daughter of the criminal official, Mu Lanzhi, is confirmed to be a maid of the Gu family."

"Master Xu, ahem, your indenture is confirmed to be fake. Considering that you were also deceived by the servants, ignorance is not a crime."

Master Xu hurriedly bowed, "Thank you for your forgiveness."

The prefect looked at the trembling servant next to Master Xu, took out a warrant from the stick tube and threw it down, "The servant of Ning'an Hou's mansion deceived the master and forged documents. Take him down and beat him with twenty boards!"

The servant did not dare to distinguish, his legs softened and he fell to the ground. He was dragged aside by the yamen runners and beaten with twenty boards.

For a while, the only sound in the hall was the servant's screams.

After the twenty strokes, the prefect slammed the gavel, "Okay, the case is closed, adjourn."

Forgery of documents should be sentenced to imprisonment, but the prefect let it go so easily.

Gu Fei understood it in her heart, and she got up from the ground with Lanzhi without saying anything.

Mr. Xu walked forward with an embarrassed look on his face, bowed to Gu Fei and Lanzhi, "Miss Gu, Miss Lanzhi, I was deceived by that dog slave, and I didn't know that the contract of sale was fake. I offended the two ladies, please forgive me."

He took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Gu Fei's hand, "This is just a little gift, just to calm the two ladies."

"I hope, I hope the lady can say a few good words in front of the prince."

Mr. Xu blinked his eyes and looked at Gu Fei sincerely, please don't let the prince come to trouble me, please.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Gu Fei took the purse calmly and said slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will never let the prince know about this." Mr. Xu was so grateful when he heard this, and bowed to Gu Fei again, "Miss Gu is really generous, I admire you." Gu Fei smiled and pulled Lanzhi out. She didn't like to make enemies with people. As long as they didn't offend her to death, she wouldn't insist on doing anything to them. Presumably, Mr. Xu would never dare to make plans for Lanzhi again. He would feel at ease after taking his silver. She couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Yu's big banner was really useful. He was invincible in this Ping'an City. When she walked to the door of the lobby, Su Chen came up to her, "It's good that you're fine." He stood in front, and he heard the verdict inside and the questions of the prefect clearly. Unexpectedly, there was no need to take out the name card of her uncle. Once the name of her cousin came out, the matter was solved. He felt a little depressed again. He had come all this way but couldn't help Gu Fei at all.

Gu Fei smiled at him, "Thank you for troubling me, Mr. Su. You didn't get enough rest. How about going to the inn to rest for a while?"

Su Chen waved his hand, "No, I came here from the academy last night and didn't have time to ask for leave from the teacher. I have to leave the city quickly before the city gates are closed."

He bowed his head slightly, "Miss Gu, I'm really sorry that I can't help you."

Gu Fei hurriedly said, "Why did you say that, Mr. Su? You came here overnight. This friendship has made me and Lanzhi very grateful. I don't know how to repay you."

Su Chen pursed his lips, "Miss, don't say anything about repaying me."

"I--" Su Chen looked around. There were so many people that it was not a place to talk. "I'll leave first."
