Chapter 64

No wonder he was such a big shot.

Yan Wuji and Zhang Chong heard the noise outside, but they pretended not to hear anything.

When Lord Count heard it, his face changed. He wanted to get up.

But Madame gave his sleeve a quick tug.

"Are you stupid? It's obvious that the enemy is plotting something. Why are you taking the initiative?"

A beautiful woman's eyes could speak. His wife didn't even need to open her mouth. She could let her husband know what she was talking about with just a look.

Therefore, Lord Count pretended not to hear the noise outside. He drank in silence, but his heart was extremely anxious.

He couldn't do this without someone taking the lead.

Shen Lang was a little anxious. If this doesn't work, I'll take the lead myself.

"Shen Lang, someone is calling you." Jin Mucong said for the first time that night.

Then, he felt three murderous eyes. They were from his father, his mother, and his sister.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck. He really wanted to squeeze his big head into his pants and squeeze it with his small head.

At that moment, there was only one voice in his heart.

Tonight, I'm dead. I'll be beaten to death!

Seeing that Lord Count was pretending to be dumb, Liu Wuyan said, "Why is it so noisy outside? Go and ask them."

He was ordering the city's warriors. Although it was a bit noisy, it was fine.

…

After a while, two military officers quickly entered the hall.

One of them was an officer from the city's palace, and the other was Jin Cheng from the Count House.

"Master, there are thousands of people besieging the Count House." Jin Cheng said anxiously.

Lord Count and his wife's faces completely changed.

Thousands of people besieging? That meant there was a big conspiracy going on.

The goal was not only to kill Shen Lang, but also to drag the Count House into this mess.

Lord Liu Wuyan said angrily, "How dare they besiege the Count House? To actually besiege the Count's residence, were they planning to rebel? Who's the leader? "

The officer from the City Lord's Mansion said, "It's Song Yi, the leader of the militia from Maple Leaf Village. He claims that his son was kicked to death by the Count's son-in-law, Shen Lang, for no reason. He's carrying his son's corpse and wants the Count's Mansion to hand Shen Lang over to seek justice."

The Count knew about this.

He did not even blame Shen Lang. Song Yi and his family had gone too far, leaving their eldest son to die in a ravine. After being saved by his big brother, that little bastard was not only not grateful, but also couldn't wait to kill his big brother.

The Big Fool was Shen Lang's only friend. Although it was a bit irrational, the Count could understand why he had kicked him.

After that, he sent Jin Zhong to talk to Song Yi and gave him a sum of money.

At that time, Song Yi was clearly grateful and had no intention of pursuing the matter. Moreover, his youngest son's life was not in danger at all. How could he die now?

The Count deeply felt the viciousness of the other party.

The mayor of Xuanwu, Liu Wuyan, said, "Son-in-law Shen Lang is a scholar. How could he do such a thing?"

Then, he stood up and said, "Mr. Yan, Governor, Xuanwu, this matter concerns the reputation of the Count House. Why don't we call them in and get to the bottom of it?"

Yan Wuji and Zhang Chong, of course, didn't say anything. As important people, it was enough for them to just sit there. If they added fuel to the fire, it would be beneath their status.

Jin Zhuo, the Count Xuanwu, knew that big trouble was coming.

The other party wanted to kill his son-in-law at the cost of a human life.

He could imagine what would happen next even if he used his toes to think.

He was faced with a choice: either he gave up on Shen Lang, or the Count House would be dragged into this mess.

Madame tugged at his sleeve again from the side.

The Count understood what she was going to say with just a glance from those eyes that could speak.

"If you dare to give up on Lang'Er, I will not forgive you."

The Count looked at her and said, "Don't worry. Am I that kind of person? I will never sacrifice Lang'Er! "

The Count's wife's eyes became gentle and firm. "If there is any difficulty, we will get through it together."

The Count looked at her gently and said, "With a wife like this, what else can I ask for?"

They were indeed a loving couple. They didn't even need to use their mouth to communicate, they just used their eyes to communicate.

This was a real soul mate!

Taking a deep breath, His Excellency the Earl braced himself for battle.

"Let them in!"

…

A few moments later!

Tian Heng and Song Yi carried the body of a young man and walked in.

There was also a woman in a mess. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were bloodshot, her body was injured, and there was a smell of urine on her body.

Her grief and indignation, the pain of losing her son, could not be faked. It couldn't be any more real.

After coming in, Song Yi knelt down and pointed at Shen Lang, "Bastard! Give me back my son's life!"

The Count was expressionless.

The governor, Liu Wuyan, slammed the table and said, "What is this place? How dare you make such a ruckus! "

Song Yi kept kowtowing, "City Lord, Count, please seek justice for this lowly commoner!"

He knew that the governor's messenger was here, but he pretended not to know.

The governor, Liu Wuyan, said, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

Song Yi cried, "Before Shen Lang married into the Count House, he used to be a commoner in Maple Village. He was a loner and had a bad relationship with everyone. He even had a fight with my son, Song Chong. But it was just a small conflict. Who would have thought that Shen Lang was a wolf in the mountains? He became even more arrogant when he got what he wanted."

City Lord Liu Wuyan furrowed his brows at this point.

If you want to complain, then complain properly. Is this the kind of word you should say?

Song Yi continued, "Shen Lang got what he wanted. After he married into the Count House, he went back to the village to show off his power. Because my son, Song Chong, had a conflict with him, he directly charged into my house and beat up my son in front of my wife. He even kicked my son's lower body. By the time I sent my son to Black Tortoise City for treatment, it was already too late. He was beaten to death by that bastard, Shen Lang. "

Then, Song Yi tore off his son's clothes.

There were many ghastly scars on his body.

Especially his groin, which was swollen like a teapot. The spout of the teapot was especially small.

"Sirs, please take a look. How vicious and vicious is Shen Lang. He actually dared to use such a vicious attack on my son. My son merely had a few words with him." Song Yi wailed, "I've lost my son. I don't want to live anymore. I'll get justice even if it costs me my life. Please help me."

Jin Mulan suddenly asked, "When did your son die?"

Song Yi said, "He died that night after being beaten by Shen Lang."

In fact, Song Chong was killed by Tian Heng the day before, but there was no forensic doctor who could accurately determine the time of death.

Jin Mulan said, "Then why didn't you come to the Count House to get justice? Why did you wait until now?"

Song Yi said, "Because I was afraid. After my son died, I immediately came to the Count House to get justice. But I didn't expect that someone would find me. He claimed to be Lord Count's confidant. He gave me a sum of gold coins and threatened me to keep my mouth shut. Otherwise, he would kill my whole family. As for my son, I can always have more. "

Lord Count's face turned livid.

Did he really think that Xuan Wu Mansion was no longer a threat after all these years of being conservative and cautious?

Count Xuanwu glanced at Tian Heng and said, "Tian Heng, why are you here?"

Tian Heng said, "Reporting to Earl Xuanwu, this Song Yi is the Ten Men Commander of the militia and is my subordinate. As his superior, I have the responsibility to seek justice for him."

In fact, Tian Heng shouldn't have come at this time.

He had a grudge against Shen Lang, so he shouldn't have come here.

However, he was truly unable to restrain himself. The enmity between him and Chen Lang was as deep as the ocean, and he really wanted to personally put this pretty boy to death.

Liu Wuyan said, "Song Yi, you said that Shen Lang killed your son. Do you have any proof?"

Song Yi said, "Many people saw Shen Lang break into my house that day. They can testify for me."

Liu Wuyan said, "Bring in the witnesses."

A moment later, four Maple Leaf villagers came in. They were all young soldiers.

"I saw Shen Lang enter Song Yi's house with my own eyes. I can testify."

The four of them spoke at the same time.

"I also heard sounds of fighting after Shen Lang entered Song Yi's house. I can testify."

Liu Wuyan said, "Young Master Shen, what do you have to say?"

Shen Lang didn't even stand up. He said innocently, "I did enter Song Yi's house, but I didn't beat anyone. I was there to send money. The Big Fool is my good friend. I sent money to the Song enterprise so that she could feed the Big Fool every day. "

Song Yi said harshly, "You're lying. It was you who kicked my son to death. My wife saw it with her own eyes. The Maple Leaf villagers also heard the noise outside."

Liu Wuyan said, "Song, are you sure you saw it?"

Song's eyes were full of hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sure I saw it."

Song Yi kowtowed desperately and said, "Your Excellencies, please seek justice for me."

Tian Heng said, "According to the law of the State of Yue, a murderer must pay with his life. Even a prince who breaks the law should be punished the same as a commoner. Moreover, Shen Lang is just a son-in-law of the Count House. Your Excellencies and Lord Count, please be fair and seek justice for my subordinate. "

Liu Wuyan said awkwardly, "Xuanwu, according to the law, a murderer must pay with his life. Why don't we ask Son-in-law Shen Lang to go back with us and investigate the matter? "

At this time, the men in black outside the Count House shouted in unison, "A murderer must pay with his life. A murderer must pay with his life."

However, at this time.

Song Shi suddenly gnashed her teeth and said, "Sirs, I saw with my own eyes my husband, Song Yi, beat my son violently and kicked him away. My son was not seriously injured. He was sent to Xuanwu for treatment and was about to recover. But after Lord Tian Heng came to visit, my son died inexplicably. "

Then, Song knelt down and kowtowed. Her voice was like a cuckoo crying blood.

"It must be Tian Heng who killed my son. He also forced me to falsely accuse Shen Lang, or he would kill my whole family. Your Excellencies, please seek justice for me. A murderer must pay with his life. A debt of blood must be paid with blood. "

The Song Clan's words were like a clap of thunder that stunned everyone.
