Chapter 84

The two hundred scholars present were instantly stunned.

It was already late at night, and the weather was no longer that hot, but many people were still sweating profusely.

Deng Xian was still putting on a show, thumping his chest and stamping his feet. "In order to publicize the Monarch's new policies, I, Deng Lun, nearly went bankrupt to print thousands of copies of the New Deal Edict. I'm patriotic."

"I didn't expect you to burn them all. I'm going to complain, I'm going to the City Lord's Office, Taishou Prefecture, and the Governor's Office to complain."

Wang Shiming felt a fatal sense of danger. He was so scared that he couldn't breathe.

His body trembled. "There's a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy. The books that were burned definitely weren't the New Deal Edict. "

He had guessed correctly. There was only one packet of the real New Deal Edict, and the rest were just some useless books that couldn't be sold.

But the rest of the books had already been burned.

A portion of this packet of New Deal Edict had also been burned.

Deng Xian said sternly, "The thousands of people here saw it clearly. What you burned was clearly the New Deal Edict."

His lackey Wang Shiming said, "Nonsense, the oil paper on the books we burned clearly says' Golden Vase of Plum Breeze and Moon '."

Deng Xian Youyou said, "You're lying through your teeth."

Then, he handed over a large piece of oil paper.

The words' New Deal Edict 'were clearly written on it. Where was the word' Golden Vase of Plum Beauty '?

Wang Shiming was stunned.

Was … was he seeing a ghost?

The words "Golden/Vase/Plum's Beauty" were clearly written on the packaging paper. There was no "New Edict" at all.

What, what was going on?

There was no need to explain the reason behind this.

Some things would lose their color after being roasted by fire.

And some words written with other things were originally invisible, but after being roasted by fire, they would become visible.

For Shen Lang, this was nothing more than a small trick.

At this moment, a handsome and outstanding figure walked out.

Zhu Wenhua's eyes narrowed.

So the mastermind behind all of this is you, Shen Lang!

Shen Lang said slowly, "You burned the Monarch's Edict of the New Deal. This shows that you are dissatisfied and want to rebel!"

Wang Shiming's body trembled violently.

Shen Lang: "Lord Registrar, what is the crime of openly opposing the Monarch's new policy?"

Fearing that things would get out of hand, City Lord Li Fang sent over a hundred soldiers to maintain order, and the one leading them was Registrar Song Min.

This registrar was also very young. He was only 30 years old and was also a High Scholar.

Hearing Shen Lang's question, he walked out and said, "Stripped of all scholarly honors, punished with thirty strokes of the cane, and exiled to Southern Sky Island."

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the troublemaking scholars were so scared that they almost peed their pants.

Of course, most of the scholars didn't have any scholarly honors and couldn't be stripped of their titles. However, thirty strokes of the cane was too frightening. With their delicate skin and tender flesh, they would really be beaten half to death.

Being banished to Southern Sky Island was even more frightening.

That damned place was isolated by the sea, completely isolated from civilized society. Apart from savages, there was almost nothing else there. Moreover, it was filled with miasma and wild beasts.

Being banished there was basically a dead end. They wouldn't live more than three to five years.

Even if they weren't bitten to death by wild beasts, they would be … f * cked to death by those savages.

Before, they were as fierce as wolves. Now, they were as cowardly as dogs.

This was the true portrayal of these scholars.

Every one of them was scared out of their wits.

Shen Lang said loudly, "What are you all standing there for? For this kind of thing, we need to find someone to take the lead."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Nearly two hundred scholars were stunned for a moment. Then, they quickly took a few steps back, drawing a clear line between themselves and Zhu Wenhua's lackeys.

Immediately, the four lackeys, led by Wang Shiming, stood out all by themselves.

For some reason, Wang Shiming felt very cold.

…

Shen Lang took a few steps forward and stood in front of Wang Shiming.

He sighed softly.

Shen Lang: "If you can't be a human, why do you want to be a dog?"

"How are you any better than me?" Wang Shiming's voice trembled. "You're also from a poor background. Why can you marry into a rich and powerful family while I have to live like a beggar?"

"Because I'm handsome." Shen Lang: "If you're as handsome as me, you can also comfortably live off a woman and enjoy wealth and splendor. But there's no other way. Who asked you to be ugly? "

This was going too far.

Wang Shiming even forgot to be afraid. He was only filled with grief and indignation.

Shen Lang said in a low voice, "By the way, I'll tell you this. Everything that happened today was planned by me to frame you. You're really stupid. Even eating sh * t isn't as active as you are. "

Instantly, Wang Shiming became even more furious.

His heart and brain were burning with rage. He only had one thought at this moment.

I want to kill him. I want to kill this bastard in front of me.

Shen Lang: "I did frame you. I want to cut off your path of survival. So what? What can you do to me? "

His voice was still very low. Only Wang Shiming could hear him.

Then, Shen Lang said, "I know you want to hit me, but you don't dare. Hit me if you can. Hit me, hit me in the chest. Hit my heart. "

As he spoke, Shen Lang patted his chest.

"Hit me? Come and hit me! "

The look on Shen Lang's face was enough to make people lose their minds.

"F * ck, you're about to be exiled. What's there to be afraid of? Of course I'll repay kindness and hatred. "

"You don't even dare to hit me. You're really a useless lackey. If I were your father, I would definitely regret shooting you out. "

This time, Wang Shiming really couldn't hold it in anymore. Fear and anger completely took away his rationality.

With a ferocious punch, he aimed at Shen Lang's chest.

"Ah …"

Then, there was a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

It wasn't Shen Lang's, but Wang Shiming's.

He felt a sharp pain, and his hand was bleeding as if it was about to break.

'Shen Lang, you motherf * cker.'

Not only did he stuff an iron plate into his chest, but it was also an iron plate with spikes.

Wang Shiming was in so much pain that he was about to convulse.

Meanwhile, Shen Lang's expression changed, and he said coldly, "How dare you, Wang Shiming! How dare you hit me? Registrar Song, did you see that? Wang Shiming hit me. "

"I'm the son-in-law of Xuan Wu Mansion, and I'm being hit for no reason."

"Are you hitting me? You're slapping Xuan Wu Mansion's face. "

"Somebody, somebody!"

Immediately, Jin Hui and another expert from Count House stepped forward.

"Assassin, assassin …" Shen Lang said loudly, "Someone wants to kill me."

Jin Hui stepped forward, grabbed Wang Shiming's arms, and slashed at him with his hand.

Kacha …

The arms of Zhu Wenhua's dog were broken.

"Argh …"

This time, Wang Shiming's scream was extremely shrill, and he fell to the ground in pain, twitching non-stop.

Shen Lang squatted down and looked at the miserable Wang Shiming, his face expressionless.

He said calmly, "Exile is the official punishment for you, but I still have to punish you personally. No one has ever come out unscathed after provoking me."

Then, Shen Lang said loudly, "Registrar Song, look carefully. I was defending myself. He hit me first."

At this time, Song Min, the registrar of Lanshan City, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He looked at one of the warriors from the Black Tortoise Manor and asked, "Has your son-in-law always been this shameless?"

The warrior acted as if he didn't hear him.

Did he dare to nod? Wasn't he afraid that the son-in-law would hold a grudge against him?

But when Shen Lang's back was facing him, the warrior quickly nodded.

Shen Lang said to Wang Shiming and the other lackeys, "Do you want to atone for your crime? Do you want to get a light sentence? All he had to do was to report and expose them. Tell everyone loudly, "Who ordered you to burn the Edict of the New Deal?" Who ordered you to fight against the new deal? "

This time, Zhu Wenhua couldn't hide anymore.

A snake wanted to bite three parts deep into its bones.

Do you want me to die, Shen Lang?

If ordinary scholars burned the Edict of the New Deal, they would at most be exiled. They were young and frivolous.

But you, Zhu Wenhua, are the son of a viscount's mansion.

If you fight against the new deal, you have ulterior motives and are plotting a rebellion.

"Shen Lang, don't slander me." Zhu Wenhua said sternly, "Xuan Wu Mansion still hasn't handed over its land and military power. You are the ones who are fighting against the new deal. And Lanshan Viscount's mansion has long responded to the call of the Monarch and handed over its military power and land. "

"So …" Shen Lang said, "That's why you are dissatisfied and incited these scholars to besiege the mansion and burn the Edict of the New Deal. Your Lanshan Viscount's mansion really has ulterior motives. One thing on the surface and another in the dark. Your intention of plotting a rebellion is clear. "

Zhu Wenhua was about to faint.

Shen Lang, you, you bastard, why are you so vicious?

I'm only here to burn your book.

Not only do you want to put me to death, but you also want to drag the whole Zhu family down with you.

You want to kill my whole family just because of this personal grudge?

And City Lord Li Fang, who came quietly, was also f * cking stunned.

Son-in-law Shen, I'm just testing how capable you are. You … why are you so ruthless? So ruthless?

What kind of hatred, what kind of grudge?

Shen Lang's eyes were sharp and immediately noticed this City Lord.

"City Lord Li Fang, this is a major case of rebellion. If we don't investigate and deal with it, Lanshan City will be in danger!"
