Chapter 612 - 612 The Great General Receives the Decree
612 The Great General Receives the Decree
Jiang Tianping’s finally explained how Jiang Zhennan had passed by a village when he was touring the mountains and rivers and fell in love with a village girl at first sight. Then, the girl had been hiding from him out of fear, and Jiang Zhennan had been chasing after her all this time.
After little 38 and little 42 heard that, they said in understanding, ” Oh, I see. No wonder we couldn’t see great general for the past few months. It turns out that he went to chase after the lady.”
However, after that, the two of them asked in confusion, ” hey, Butler, even us close guards don’t know about this. How did you know? Could it be that the general would write to you from time to time to tell you about his experience in wooing girls? Or is the general sending a letter asking you about your unique skill in chasing girls? But that’s not right. Although you’re old, you’ve been managing the general’s residence diligently all these years. You don’t even have a wife, and I’ve never heard of you pursuing any girl. Where did you get the experience to teach the great general to fall in love? Great Butler, tell us!”
Jiang Tianping’s heart skipped a beat when he heard No. 38’s persistent question.
He was only thinking about how to cover up this lie, but he never thought that they would have such determination to shamelessly ask him.
However, even if they were just curious and doubtful, shouldn’t they have received the Imperial edict first before asking? Weren’t they afraid that Eunuch Liu would be angry and complain to the Emperor? This would be very disadvantageous to the general.
Jiang Tianping’s face turned pale, and he reprimanded the two of them with slight anger, ” are you guys done? Even if you have big questions, can’t you wait until eunuch Liu comes over and receive the Imperial edict first? If we delay any longer, the crime of disrespecting the emperor’s dignity is not something you and I can bear!”
He was also afraid that the longer the time dragged on, the more trouble would arise, so he could only reprimand the two of them.
After all, even if they were Jiang Zhennan’s personal guards, in the general’s residence, other than the general, he, the Butler, had the highest authority.
Little 38 and little 42 saw that Jiang Tianping was angry and looked at each other.
Little 42 immediately stepped forward and smiled apologetically. “head butler, please calm down! Little thirty-eight and I were just too curious. When we heard that the general was going to a village to chase a girl, we were immediately excited. In our excitement, we forgot that eunuch Liu is still standing at the entrance of the general’s military headquarters, waiting to pass on the Imperial edict to our general.”
Little 42 was too excited. For a moment, Jiang Tianping couldn’t be angry anymore.
After all, the great general actually knew how to pursue a lady. Although the servants were happy and excited, the Emperor would also be very happy to hear it. That was why they made up such a lie.
After all, the general was already twenty-four years old. Other men of his age might have children a few years old, but he had never even held a girl’s hand before, let alone married a wife. Everyone could only watch anxiously.
“Head butler, aren’t you going to receive the Imperial edict? Why are you still here?” A sharp female voice was heard.
Without even looking, the soldiers knew that they were the gorgeously dressed, arrogant, and unreasonable eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Wen.
“Hmph, are you the ones who stopped the head butler from leaving?” As soon as Jiang Wen came to them, she looked at little 38 and little 42. Without asking anything, she immediately used this as an excuse to scold them. Anyway, for the siblings, disobedient dogs should be taught a lesson. “You dog slaves, how dare you look down on the Imperial decree and the majesty of the Emperor? Are you tired of living?”
At this point, Jiang Wen looked at Jiang Tianping and said with a serious and ruthless expression, ” head butler, these disobedient dog slaves should be taken out and beaten to death. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and call someone to pull these two dog slaves out and beat them to death!”
When Jiang Tianping heard Jiang Wen’s words, he said awkwardly, ” miss, I’m afraid this… isn’t appropriate, right? After all, they’re the personal guards of the great Xuanji general. Without a contract, they… ”
Without the slave contract, they were free soldiers. Even if the Marquis, Jiang Yunfeng came, he would not have the right to beat them to death, let alone a Butler.
