Really worthy of being a big shot.
Wuji and Zhang Chong clearly heard the commotion outside, but they pretended not to hear anything.
When the Earl heard it, his expression changed immediately, and he was about to get up instinctively.
But Madame tugged his sleeve quickly.
"You are stupid, it is obviously an enemy's conspiracy, and you still want to take the initiative to join in?"
A beautiful woman's eyes can speak, this is true, the wife doesn't need to speak at all, just a look, the husband can know what she is saying.
So, the Earl also pretended not to hear the commotion outside, and drank secretly, but his heart was extremely anxious.
It's not okay if no one picks the head.
Shen Lang is getting a little anxious, if it doesn't work, I'll take the lead by myself.
"Shen Lang, someone outside seems to be calling you." Fat Zhai Jin Mucong said the first sentence of the night.
Then, he felt three murderous gazes from his father, his mother, and his sister.
He couldn't help shrinking his neck, really wanting to stuff his big head into his crotch.
At this moment, there is only one voice in his heart!
Tonight, I am dead, I will definitely be beaten to death!
Seeing that the Earl was pretending to be stupid, City Lord Liu Wuyan could only say, "Why is there such a commotion outside, please ask."
He was telling the warriors of the City Lord's Mansion that even though it was a bit overwhelming, there was nothing wrong with it.
…
After a while, the two officers quickly entered the hall.
One is an officer from the City Lord's Mansion, and the other is Jin Cheng from the Earl's Mansion.
"Master, there are thousands of people outside besieging the Earl's Mansion." Jin Cheng said anxiously.
At this moment, the Count and Madam's expressions completely changed.
Besieged by thousands of people? That's a big conspiracy.
The goal is not only to put Shen Lang to death, but even to drag the Earl's Mansion into the water.
Liu Wuyan, the city lord, said angrily: "Are you so bold? You even besieged the Earl's Mansion, do you want to rebel? Who took the lead!"
The officer of the city lord's mansion said: "It's Song Yi, the leader of the militia in Maple Leaf Village. He claimed that his son was kicked to death by Shen Lang, the son-in-law of the Earl's Mansion for no reason. Seek justice."
The Earl knows about this.
He didn't even blame Shen Lang. Song Yi's family went too far and threw their eldest son in the ravine waiting to die. Not only was that little bastard not grateful for being saved by his elder brother, but he couldn't wait for his elder brother to die.
Dasha was Shen Lang's only friend. He kicked him out of anger. Although it was a little irrational, the Earl could understand it.
Afterwards, he sent Jin Zhong to talk to Song Yi specifically, and even gave him a sum of money.
At that time, Song Yi was obviously very grateful, and he didn't have the slightest intention to pursue it. Moreover, his youngest son was not in danger at all, and now he is dead
The Earl deeply felt the viciousness of the other party.
Xuanwu City Lord Liu Wuyan said after hearing this: "Uncle Shen Lang is a scholar, how could he behave like this?"
Then, he got up and said: "Sir, Lord Prefect, Uncle Xuanwu, this matter concerns the reputation of the Earl's Mansion, why don't you ask me to come in and find out the truth?"
Of course Wuji and Zhang Chong wouldn't open their mouths. As important figures, they can just sit here. If they want to open their mouths to add fuel to the flames, they will lose their status.
Jin Zhuo, Earl of Xuanwu, knows that today's big trouble is coming.
The other party wanted to kill his son-in-law at the price of one life.
What would happen next, he could imagine with his toes.
He was about to face a choice: Either sacrifice and give up on Shen Lang, or the Earl's Mansion would also be dragged into the water.
The lady tugged at his sleeve again.
Those talking eyes, with just one glance, let the earl understand what she was going to say.
"If you dare to give up Lang'er, I will never forgive you."
The earl sent a look: "Don't worry, is this the kind of person my husband is? I will never sacrifice the prodigal son!"
The Countess' eyes became gentle and firm: "If there is any difficulty, we will get through it together as a husband and wife."
The earl still had a gentle look in his eyes: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
As expected of a loving couple, they don't need to communicate with their mouths at all, but directly communicate with their eyes.
This is a true friendship!
Taking a deep breath, the Earl raised all his energy and prepared for battle.
"Let them in!"
…
After a while!
Tian Heng and Song Yi walked in carrying a young man's body.
There is also a lady in a state of embarrassment, with disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, wounds on her body, haggard appearance, and even the smell of urine on her body.
Her grief and indignation, her pain of bereavement, is not just a faux pas, it cannot be more real.
After entering, Song Yi knelt down directly, pointed at Shen Lang and cried out: "Thief, give back my son's life."
The Earl was expressionless.
City Lord Liu Wuyan, as the chief official, slammed the table and said sharply, "What is this place? How can you make noise?"
Song Yi kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, my lord, please be the masters for the little people!"
He clearly knew that the envoy of the governor was there, and the prefect was there, but he pretended not to know it at all.
City Lord Liu Wuyan said: "What happened, please tell me in detail."
Song Yi wept and said: "Before Shen Lang entered the Earl's Mansion, he was an ordinary citizen in Maple Leaf Village. He was withdrawn and had a bad relationship with everyone since he was a child. It's just a small conflict, who would have thought that Shen Lang, a villain, is a Zhongshan wolf, and his ambition is even more rampant."
Speaking of this, City Lord Liu Wuyan frowned.
If you file a complaint, you should file a complaint. Is this what you should say
Song Yi continued: "Shen Lang is a villain. After entering the Earl's mansion, he couldn't wait to return to the village to show off his power. Because my son Song Chong had conflicts with him, he rushed directly to my house and confronted my son in front of my wife. He beat my son severely and kicked my son's lower body, and it was too late when I sent my son to Xuanwu City for treatment, he was beaten to death by Shen Lang, a beast."
Then, Song Yi took off the clothes on his youngest son Song Chong.
There are many scars on the body, which are shocking.
Especially the lower body, swelled like a teapot, and the spout of the teapot seemed particularly small.
"Look, my lords, how vicious Shen Lang is, he actually did this to my son. My son and him are just having a few quarrels." Song Yi cried loudly: "Now I A white-haired person sending a black-haired person, I don’t want to live for a long time, and I want to get justice if I risk my life, I ask some adults to make decisions for me.”
Jin Mulan suddenly asked, "When did your son die?"
Song Yi said: "After being beaten by Shen Lang, he died that night."
In fact, Song Chong was killed by Tian Heng just yesterday, but at this time there is no forensic doctor who can accurately judge the time of death.
Jin Mulan said: "Then why didn't you come to the Earl's Mansion to seek justice and procrastinate until now?"
Song Yi said: "Because I'm afraid. After my son Song Chong died, I immediately wanted to come to the Earl's Mansion to seek justice. But I didn't expect that someone found it. He claimed to be the Lord Earl's confidant and gave me a sum of gold coins. And threatened me not to talk too much, otherwise my whole family will be killed, and as for the son is gone, he can be born again."
Immediately, the Earl's face turned ashen.
Could it be that his conservatism and prudence over the years really made people feel that the Earl of Xuanwu's Mansion is no longer daunting
Earl Xuanwu glanced at Tian Heng, and said calmly, "Tian Heng, why are you here?"
Tian Hengdao: "Uncle Xuanwu, this Song Yi is the ten-man commander of the militia, and he is my subordinate. As his chief, I have the responsibility to seek justice for him."
Actually, Tian Heng shouldn't have come at this time.
He and Shen Lang had old grievances, so he shouldn't have appeared on this occasion at all.
But he couldn't help it, he and Shen Lang had a deep hatred, and really wanted to put this little white-faced bastard to death himself.
City Lord Liu Wuyan said: "Song Yi, you keep saying that Shen Lang killed your son, do you have evidence?"
Song Yi said: "When Shen Lang rushed into my house that day, many people saw it and could testify for me."
City Lord Liu Wuyan said: "The certificate of succession."
After a while, four Maple Leaf villagers came in, all of them were young militiamen.
"The villain saw Shen Lang enter Song Yi's house with his own eyes, so he can testify."
Four people testified at the same time.
"The villain also heard that after Shen Lang entered Song Yi's house, there was a fight inside. The villain can testify."
City Lord Liu Wuyan said: "Uncle Shen, what do you have to say?"
Shen Lang didn't even stand up, and said innocently: "I entered Song Yi's house, but I didn't hit anyone, I went to give money. Dasha is my good friend, I gave money to Song, let her From now on, Dasha will be fed every day."
Song Yi said sharply: "You're lying, obviously you kicked my son Song Chong to death, my wife saw it with her own eyes, and the Maple Leaf villagers also heard the noise outside."
City Lord Liu Wuyan said: "Mr. Song, are you sure you saw it?"
Song's eyes were filled with hatred immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure I saw it."
Song Yi desperately kowtowed and said, "My lords, please seek justice for my life."
Tian Hengdao: "According to the laws of our country, murderers pay for their lives, and the prince who breaks the law is the same as the common people. What's more, Shen Lang is just a son-in-law of the earl's mansion. Please, my lords and the earl, uphold justice and seek justice for my subordinates." A justice."
City Lord Liu Wuyan wondered: "Uncle Xuanwu, according to the law, the murderer must pay for his life. Why don't you let Uncle Shen Lang follow us back and investigate the matter clearly?"
At this time, the gang in black outside the Earl's Mansion shouted in unison: "Kill for life, kill for life."
However, at this moment.
Song suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "My lords, I saw my husband Song Yi crazily beat my son and kicked him away. The son was not seriously injured, so he will be cured soon after being sent to Xuanwu City for treatment. , but after Master Tian Heng came to visit, my son died inexplicably."
Then, Mrs. Song knelt down and kowtowed, her voice was like a cuckoo weeping blood.
"It must be Tian Heng who killed my son, and he also forced me to make a false accusation against Shen Lang, otherwise my whole family will be killed. Please, my lords, be the masters for the daughters of the people. Kill people to pay for their lives, and blood for blood."
As soon as Song's words came out, it was like a thunderbolt, and everyone was stunned.

Note: Gentlemen, please!
