Chapter 114: Shen lang, youâre so ruthless! Another family!
Translator: 549690339
Even though Lin Zhuo was the one getting married and not marrying into their family, the wedding ceremony had to be held at the palace of the Earl of Jing âan.
Of course, the Lin family would also hold a ceremony, but it would be on a much smaller scale.
This time, the Earl of Jing âanâs residence had sent one of Wu Youyouâs uncles to the Lin family to discuss the marriage. His name was Wu zhaoyin.
This personâs status was not high, but his seniority was relatively high.
After he arrived at Xuanwu city, he was immediately received with high standards.
Not only did Lin Mo find Xu Guangyun, but he also invited city Lord Liu Wuyan.
Zhang Pu and Lin Zhuo were not present since they were the younger generation. The discussion of marriage could only be carried out between the elders.
Of course, the so-called discussion was just a one-sided notification.
After receiving the warm hospitality, Wu zhaoyin stayed over at the Lin residence that night.
The next day, before dawn, a soldier suddenly came to the Lin family, saying that Lord Lin Zhuo had something to discuss with Wu zhaoyin.
Wu zhaoyin was old and had a light sleep. He had been drinking and reciting poems late last night. He had only slept for less than four hours before he was woken up. Of course, he was unhappy.
However, Lin Zhuo said that he had something important to discuss with him, so he did not delay. After washing up, he took the bus to thousand households in Salt Mountain unhappily.
By the time they arrived at their destination, the sun had already risen.
âWhat important matter does your Lord have that he actually called me over before dawn?â Wu zhaoyin said angrily.
However, he realized that the soldier who had come to deliver the news had long disappeared.
As a result, he was even more furious and directly charged into the thousand households âoffice in Salt Mountain.
He was completely stunned and could not believe his eyes.
Lin Zhuo, are you crazy?
Do you still have any respect for the palace of the Earl of Jing âan?
Do you still want your reputation? Donât you want your face?
For a moment, Wu zhaoyin pointed at Lin Zhuo. His entire body trembled, and he could not even speak.
âAiya, Iâm going blind. I ... Iâm still a child. Why do you want me to see this?â
At this moment, an exaggerated voice came from the side. One could tell that it was Shen Lang as he was especially pretentious.
Shen lang had also brought Jin Zhong and the rest!
........................
Lin Zhuoâs brain was about to explode.
The first time he opened his eyes and saw Wang Benâs sinister smile, he was already stunned.
When he saw Wu zhaoyin again, he really wished he could immediately faint.
This was his fiancĂ©eâs family uncle. Although he didnât have much power in the palace of the Earl of Jing âan, his seniority was very high, and he was very conservative.
Lin Zhuo, donât you have any sense of shame after what youâve done? â
Finally, Wu zhaoyin roared.
Lin Zhuo felt a chill down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his back.
At this moment, he could no longer care about his shame.
His future was the most important, but his fate was the most important.
Immediately, he broke free from Wang Jieâs pestering and knelt down in front of Wu zhaoyin, saying, â âUncle, please listen to my explanation, please listen to my explanation, I was framed by someone Yingluo!â
âMy Lord, please seek justice for your student.â He didnât expect Wang Jie to be even faster. He directly knelt in front of Wu zhaoyin, hugged his legs, and sobbed, â âLin Zhuo has been sending people to look for me for the past few days. I thought there was something important, so I came to see him last night. Who knew that this beast would actually get me drunk.â
my Lord, although I, Wang Jie, was stripped of my scholarly honor, I was once a high scholar and the Registrar of Xuanwu city.
Lin Zhuo, Iâm going to Sue you! Iâm going to Sue you!
Lin Zhuo was completely stunned.
He had not even opened his mouth, and Wang Ben had bitten him first?
Shen lang said,âWang Ben, although Iâm your enemy, Iâm not your enemy.â However, Iâm a righteous person by nature, and I canât bear to see such a tragedy. I support you to Sue him. Donât worry about being killed. Iâll let the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu protect you. You can go to the Governorâs Palace and report to the Governor. In short, you must be given an explanation.â
âEven a Prince is guilty of the same crime as a commoner, let alone a mere vice thousand-man commander.â âI donât believe that there is no justice in this world,â Shen lang said righteously.
Lin Zhuo finally reacted.
He immediately looked at Shen lang with hatred and said, â Shen lang, you tricked me? â
Shen lang sneered,âwhat does this have to do with me?â You were the one who told me yesterday to come and find you before today and apologize to you. Only then would you be willing to release the innocent soldiers of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. Iâve been here since early morning, but I didnât expect to see such a terrifying scene.â
Then, Shen lang said, â guards, protect Wang Lian. No matter how much he has offended me, he is still a distant relative of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. Wang Lian, I will bring you to the governorâs residence to file a complaint.
Then, Shen lang waved his hand.
Jin Zhong and the others took a cloak and wrapped it around Wang He. They were about to take him away to the governorâs mansion to complain.
âHold on!â The one who opened his mouth to stop them was actually the Earl of Jing âanâs residence, Wu zhaoyin.
Of course, he could tell that Lin Zhuo had been set up by someone. This was all Shen Langâs scheme.
âElder, do you have any advice?â Shen lang asked.
Of course, Wu zhaoyin could not allow Shen lang to bring Wang Lian to the governorâs residence to complain. Even though they were not married yet, Lin Zhuo was Wu Youyouâs fiancĂ©.
If Shen lang brought Wang Lian along to complain, the matter would blow up and create a shocking scandal. It would deal a huge blow to the reputation of the palace of the Earl of Jing âan.
âDo you have any requests?â Wu zhaoyin asked directly.
over ten cavalrymen from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were detained by thousand-man commander Lin Zhuo for no reason, â Shen lang said. Iâm here to get them.
âIn your dreams!â Lin Zhuo was about to blurt out.
But Wu zhaoyin directly said,ârelease them.â &Nbsp;
Lin Zhuo was stunned, but he did not dare to disobey. He immediately ordered for the cavalrymen from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to be released.
After a while, the dozen of people appeared in front of Shen lang.
Although these people looked Haggard and had wounds on their bodies, they were not in danger of dying.
The main issue was Jin jianniang. Her clothes were still intact, and it seemed like she had not been humiliated.
However, she was still the same as before. When she saw Shen lang, her face immediately turned red, and it was as if she had nowhere to put her hands and feet. One really could not tell that she was a skilled Knight.
What a sin. Itâs really frustrating to be so handsome because there are countless women who have a crush on you.
âLord Lin Zhuo, Iâll take my leave now.â Shen lang said, â this Wang Lian is too pitiful. I was worried that you would kill him. Therefore, I brought him along.
Then, Shen lang brought the cavalrymen from the palace of the Earl and Wang Lian away.
This didnât suit his style, right?
He had never been at a disadvantage. Now that the cavalrymen of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were detained and whipped, Shen lang left just like that without any more vicious revenge?
This was because Shen lang was afraid that he would ruin the more exciting story.
..................
After Shen lang left with Wang Lian and the rest.
All the people in the hall had left.
Lin Zhuo quickly found a set of clothes and put them on before kneeling in front of Wu zhaoyin.
âUncle, I was set up by someone, Yingluo.â
Wu zhaoyin immediately stopped him from defending himself.
Lin Zhuo, being framed is even more shameful than your scandal with Wang Bei. Do you understand? â
This sentence clearly showed the difference in thinking between commoners and nobles.
In the eyes of the nobles, it didnât matter if your private life was messy, as long as you were good enough.
However, being framed was being incompetent, and that was the greatest sin.
âWhy were you framed? Itâs because youâve been floating. Ever since you became the husband of our Wu family, youâve been like a man in the clouds. You think you can do whatever you want with a big backer. Look at what youâve done since you returned to Xuanwu city. The first thing you did was to attract your scoundrel friends to show off.â
âIf you didnât want to show off so much, how could Wang He have gotten away with it?â
Wu zhaoyinâs words could be said to strike the heart.
Lin Zhuo was embarrassed when he recalled what he had done in the past few days.
He used to be a very smart person. How did he become so careless all of a sudden?
young man, you should look at your feet and not at the sky. Otherwise, youâll fall.
âOf course, itâs nothing for a young man to suffer a little setback. At the very least, the fall would serve as a warning to them that they wouldnât die from falling from such a height. If you fall from a higher place in the future, youâll be crushed to pieces.â
âThe key is that youâve shown us that youâre incompetent this time. Weâre very disappointed. How can we believe that you can take on heavy responsibilities in the future? How can we believe that you can become the representative of the palace of the Earl of Jingan in Xuanwu city, and even in Nujiang County?â
âUncle, please teach me,â Lin Zhuo immediately kowtowed.
Wu zhaoyin said, â something like this has happened. Itâs neither a big deal nor a small one. Whether you and you youâre going to continue with your marriage is entirely up to her father. Do you know what you should say to him when you see him?â
âUncle, please teach me,â Lin Zhuo kowtowed again.
Wu zhaoyin said,âafter you see the family head, donât make any excuses. Donât even mention that Youâve Been Framed.â You only need to say four words, courage after shame! You tried so hard to reflect on your own arrogance that Shen lang took the opportunity to frame you. What you need to do is to reflect on yourself and magnify your own shortcomings by ten times, a hundred times. You have to show that you are more heartbroken and disappointed than anyone else. He might even take the initiative to break off his engagement with you you. That way, he might have a chance of survival.â
Lin Zhuo was instantly amazed.
The Earl of Jing âanâs residence was indeed impressive. This clan Earl didnât hold any important positions, but he was actually an expert.
Wu zhaoyin continued,âif you still canât change the family headâs mind, then you can pull out your sword and commit suicide. You can say that youâd rather die than Sully the reputation of the palace of the Earl of Jing âan.â At this time, you must be decisive and ruthless. You must really cut your own neck, but remember to avoid the main artery. You must practice with the wooden sword dozens of times.â
Lin Zhuo said, â father-in-law is a Big Shot in the military. Heâs seen through countless people. No matter how realistic my acting is, heâll definitely see through it, right? â
Wu zhaoyin sneered, â of course heâd see through me. How could I really commit suicide? â Itâs precisely because he can see through me that I have to show off.â
âUncle, please guide me,â Lin Zhuo kowtowed.
Wu zhaoyin said, â he can see that your self-praise is a performance. But this also shows another quality of yours. Youâre shameless enough and good at acting. What was the most important thing for a political mission? Itâs just acting!â
âAlso, you boasted that your acting was so realistic that you directly cut your own neck. What does this prove? Youâre ruthless enough. If youâre so ruthless to yourself, youâll naturally be even more ruthless to your enemies. Youâre so good at acting and so ruthless, how could the master not be impressed with you? He will feel that you are someone worth nurturing. When that time comes, you and you youâll be able to continue your marriage.â
An expert, he was really an expert.
Lin Zhuo was in awe.
Who would have thought that this nameless clan uncle would actually be so profound?
Could it be that every member of the noble family was so awesome?
Shen lang, just you wait. When I recover from this, I will definitely return the humiliation I suffered today ten times over.
And at this moment, Wu zhaoyin indifferently said, â âYou should prepare to go to Jing âan city to see the patriarch. Also, go back and tell your father to pay me three times more!â
..............................
In the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
âFather-in-law, this Wu zhaoyin seems to be very impressive,â Shen lang said.
The Earl frowned slightly.
He personally felt very uncomfortable with the word âawesomeâ.
However, he now understood that in this world, only others could adapt to Shen lang and not Shen lang could adapt to the world.
The Earl already knew how impressive his son-in-law was.
AI!
What a pity, why isnât he my son?
However, there was nothing to feel pity about.
Heâs my son.
At the end of the day, she was a good child, a very good child.
âThis Wu zhaoyin is of course very impressive.â âMore than 20 years ago, he fought with the Earl of Jing âan for the position of Crown Prince,â the Earl explained.
As soon as he said this.
Shen lang and uncle Black Tortoise looked at Jin mucong at the same time.
This fat otaku was still copying books.
AI!
Shen lang and uncle Black Tortoise sighed at the same time.
If the Earl had a second son, this fat otaku wouldnât be a problem.
The Earl of Jing âanâs two outstanding sons were already fighting for the position of Crown Prince at this age, but you were still copying homework?
Jin mucong, on the other hand, was a fat otaku. He became the Crown Prince with his eyes closed. This world was really unfair.
Jin mucongâs neck shrank when he felt the two pairs of eyes on him. He said weakly, â âWhy are you looking at me?â
âThen how did Wu zhaoyin lose?â Shen lang asked.
âIf you canât have children, you wonât have an heir,â uncle Black Tortoise replied.
Ah, so miserable.
At this moment, there was a sudden clamor outside.
Why was there another commotion?
A moment later, Jin Zhong came in and reported.
âMaster, son-in-law, itâs a commoner from the fief who requests an audience.â
Did you hear that? Jin Zhong directly said master, son-in-law, no Prince.
However, Jin mucong did not care at all.
When it came to important matters, he would not wait for others to ignore him. He would ignore himself first.
I donât care about your business. My world is only copying homework.
..............................
The Earl of Xuanwu and Shen lang arrived outside the palace of the Earlâs Castle.
Immediately, the dozens of elders in front knelt down in unison.
âGreetings to the count.â
Uncle Black Tortoise hurriedly went forward to help the oldest village elder up and said, â âYou are all older than me, how can you bow like this? get up, get up!â
Dozens of old folks stood up.
âElders, is there a reason why youâve come to see me?â uncle Black Tortoise asked.
One of the old men said, â under the care of the palace of the Earl, the Mulberry leaves are growing well this year. The silkworms are not seriously ill either. There is a bumper harvest of silkworm cocoons this year. There are nearly 20% more than in previous years.
this is a good thing, â uncle Xuanwu said. after selling the cocoons, everyone will be able to live more comfortably.
âIsnât that so?â the old man said. Everyone was very happy and felt that they would be able to live a good life this year. They were all grateful for the palace of the Earlâs kindness. Who knew that after we sent the cocoons to Xuanwu city, they wouldnât accept them?â
Youâre not accepting it?
In the past years, the silkworm cocoons had been harvested well, but this year, they said they would not be harvesting anymore?
Out of the 100000 people in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, 70% of them made a living by raising silkworms.
The annual income from silkworm breeding was much higher than that of planting rice.
The farmers in the fief used most of their fields and mountains to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms. A portion of the money earned from selling the cocoons was used to pay taxes to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, another portion was used to buy food, and the remaining was used for household expenses.
As the taxes from the palace of the Earl were not high, the farmers in the fief had a good life raising silkworms, which was better than the other farmers in Xuanwu city.
Two years ago, many farmers on their fief had spent a lot of money in exchange for better Mulberry saplings, so that they could produce more leaves.
But now, he actually didnât want to collect these cocoons?
This was going to be a big problem.
This meant that the hard work of nearly 100000 farmers in the fief for nearly half a year had been in vain. Without money, how would they pay taxes to the palace of the Earl, how would they buy food, and how would they feed their wives and children?
The whole family was counting on selling the cocoons to make a living.
Of the palace of the Earlâs annual income, a quarter of it came from the taxes from the silkworms. Once the palace of the Earl stopped collecting taxes, it would face a serious financial crisis.
Furthermore, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had to pay off the debt to the yin Yuan Association every six months. Without this money, the gold chain would be broken.
The most important thing was that if the 100000 people in the fief didnât have money to buy grain, it would be a big mess.
âIf Xu Guangyun doesnât accept it, wonât Lin Mo from the beautiful Pavilion accept it as well?â the Earl said.
âThatâs right, both of them donât accept the cocoons produced in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwuâs fief,â the village elder said.
The Earl said, â in the past years, there were silk merchants from other counties who came to collect cocoons. They were even competing to bid. Did they not come this year? â
no, â the elder replied. none of the silk merchants from the other counties came. They could only sell to the Xu family or the Lin family. However, these two clans deliberately targeted us and publicly ordered that they were not allowed to take our cocoons. Not only did they not take them, but they also said that there would not be a single silk merchant in the entire Tiannan province who would take our cocoons.â
This was a serious matter.
There were insects inside the cocoon. If it was not processed within a certain period of time, the insects inside would become moths and bite through the cocoon to fly out. At that time, the cocoon would be half destroyed.
This was an economic attack on the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. The Xu family and the Lin family were only the controllers. Behind them were Zhang Ji and Zhu Rong. If not, there would be a silk merchant from other places.
master Xu and his daughter even publicly announced that they want them to take the cocoons from our fief, â the elder said. unless the son-in-law talks to her personally, theyâll let our cocoons rot at home and let us starve to death.
Shen Langâs eyes narrowed. This again?
Lin Zhuo was almost killed by me just now, and heâs not far from death. You, Xu Guangyun, Xu Qianqian, are still playing this trick?
However, this was also part of the plan.
Thatâs just right!
It would be the new year in a few months, and Shen lang could kill the fat pig from the Xu family to celebrate the new year.
Shen lang smiled,âsure, Iâll go talk to the Xu family now.â &Nbsp;
Instantly, dozens of elders knelt down before Shen lang and said, â âMany thanks to Guye for saving my life.â
..............................
Shen lang went to the Xu family to negotiate with Xu Guangyun and Xu Qianqian.
This ex-wife didnât waste any time and directly stated her conditions. After Shen Langâs repeated torture, she seemed to have become colder and stronger.
Shen lang, you want us to collect the cocoons from the farmers in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu? â
the conditions are simple. You hand over the formulas for the purple and rainbow dyes for free, and we can consider buying the cocoons produced in your fief at a lower price. Thatâs right, a lower price.
âOtherwise, Iâll let the cocoons of your 100000 people rot in your homes and let them starve to death. How about you find a way to ship these cocoons outside of Yue country to sell? However, you donât have any official documents for such a large batch of goods, so itâs better to just rot at home.â
Shen lang, you should have expected this day to come when you offended us.
