Chapter 204: Shen lang counterattacks and stomps the sky!
Translator: 549690339
(Congratulations to the smug flowing night for becoming this bookâs new alliance master. Iâm so grateful that Iâm shedding tears, and Iâm weakly asking for a monthly ticket.)
In the Marquis Zhenyuanâs mansion.
Marquis su Nan had already fallen asleep. He paid great attention to his health and ensured that he slept for more than six hours a day.
Therefore, he left such a small matter to su jianting.
Su Yong, Marquis Zhenyuanâs trusted aide.
Crown Prince, everything is in place. Jin mucong has been captured and thrown into the prison of the county Magistrate.
the fifth Prince, Ning Zheng, has already gone to the Wannian County government office and asked Wang Qike to release her. However, he was rejected and humiliated.
Su jianting could not help but frown.
This Ning Zheng was simply an ominous thing.
You were about to drown when you were born, but su Peipei meddled and saved you.
Not only does the king not like you, concubine su doesnât like you, and our concubine su doesnât like you either.
Since everyone doesnât like you, you should just hide in your small courtyard and not come out to see anyone. Why are you so meddlesome? Why was he looking for trouble?
Now, everyone was trying to avoid the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, but you, Ning Zheng, this ominous thing, still wanted to get close.
âHave the memorials from the Imperial censors been prepared?â su jianting asked.
Su Yong replied, â Iâve already informed them. Everything has been arranged. Tomorrow morning, the memorials impeaching the Jin family will fly into the palace like snowflakes. I guarantee that Jin Zhuoâs decree will not be settled.
âWhat about Shen lang?â su jianting asked.
âHe has already gone to Ning Zhengâs side,â Su Yong said.
âHe still said that he moved,â su jianting said.
âYes, itâs moving,â Su Yong said.
Su jianting said, â he can stir up trouble in Xuanwu city, but this is the capital. He is alone and has no one to rely on. On the other hand, we are big and have deep roots. This gap can not be made up by intelligence. Itâs fine if he doesnât move, but once he does, heâs just looking for death.â
âThe plot against him has already been activated. As long as he moves, I guarantee that he will immediately be charged with murder.â In this way, the son and son-in-law of the Jin family had both committed crimes. One raped an innocent woman, and the other killed. Letâs see how this Jin clan is going to be conferred the title of Marquis.â
âAre the troops ready to besiege the Jin family courtyard?â su jianting asked.
âAll in place,â Su Yong said.
Su jianting sneered. He wanted to catch Shen lang off guard.
Two fists were no match for four hands.
How can you, a mere Shen lang, and a useless Ning Zheng fight against the huge su clan? you wonât even know how you died!
From su jiantingâs point of view, this was simply unsolvable.
Even if Shen lang was a God, he would not be able to reverse the situation, let alone save Jin mucong.
After all, Jin mucong was caught on the spot and the evidence was conclusive.
He wanted to prove Jin mucongâs innocence?
Not to mention jumping into the Nu River, even using divine water wouldnât be able to wash them clean.
âHave you finished writing the memorials impeaching father from the censors?â su jianting asked.
âItâs done, this is the sample,â Su Yong said.
Su jianting opened it.
This Memorial impeaching his father was indeed vicious, almost to the point of blood.
They said that su jianting was not happy that Shen lang had snatched Jin Mulan away, so he sent 500 Warriors to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu and killed the Jin familyâs private army and innocent servants.
Not only that, but su Nan had also sent someone to assassinate her own sister, su Peipei. This was outrageous and unforgivable.
In short, this Memorial was extremely exaggerated, like a heavenly book.
It was the kind of writing that made people feel that it was especially fake at first glance.
alright, send these memorials to impeach father together tomorrow. We must make everyone think that these memorials to impeach father were incited by the Jin family. Su jianting said.
This was even more interesting.
Countless censors were trying to impeach the Jin family, but there was solid evidence that Jin mucong had raped an innocent woman.
On the other hand, a few memorials impeaching su Nan had appeared over there, and they were extremely exaggerated. With one look, one could tell that they were not real. Your Jin clan was too underhanded in order to attract peopleâs attention and to take revenge. You actually created such a thing out of nothing.
This was killing two birds with one stone.
Not only did it deal a blow to the Jin clan, but it also allowed the SU clan to survive this small crisis.
Such political tactics were definitely brilliant.
In fact, it seemed to be unsolvable.
tell those envoys of the Qiang Kingdom in the capital to restrain themselves a little, â su jianting said. donât kill people every day!
............
Shen lang arrived at Wannian County government office.
âGreetings, Lord Wang. Congratulations on your promotion.â
Shen lang saw his old enemy, Wang Qike, again.
Wang Qike was wearing his official uniform and sitting behind the desk in the court. He sipped his tea and said lightly,âWho are you?â
Stop pretending.
âI am Shen lang from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu,â Shen lang said.
âShen lang?â Wang Qike narrowed his eyes. After a while, he seemed to remember and said, â âItâs you? How come your flowers have recovered?â
itâs good at times and bad at other times, â Shen lang said. it will act up occasionally.
Rage your head.
Smallpox only broke out once, and they would either recover to pockmarks or die.
If you have frequent episodes, why donât you just say that you die often?
âHow audacious!â Wang Qike said coldly, â youâre just a live-in son-in-law. How dare you stand in front of me? kneel!
To a certain extent, a live-in son-in-law would have to kneel before an official, even if he was the live-in son-in-law of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
The status of a live-in son-in-law was only slightly better than that of a servant, and he did not have any title of nobility.
However, who dared to make him kneel in Xuanwu city?
Speaking of Xuanwu city, Shen lang thought of city Lord Liu Wuyan. He wondered how he was.
Wang Qike said coldly,âShen lang, didnât you hear what I said?â Youâre a live-in son-in-law, and Iâm a fifth-grade high official. Someone, teach him how to kneel.â
Shen lang said calmly, â Sir, I am a eunuch supervisor. I can be considered a candidate. I donât have to kneel before an official.
This was when the king had issued an edict to humiliate the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
As Shen lang and the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had exposed Jun Jinâs plot to Poison Princess Ning Luo, the monarch had conferred him the title of eunuch supervisor.
And in the Imperial College, it was basically filled with the children of merchants, who could attend school as long as they paid.
Jin mucong was a Directorate.
He had not expected that his title of eunuch supervisor would be of some use at this time.
âA eunuch?â Wang Qike was disdainful.
He was a second-tier Jinshi, the second highest level of the chain of contempt.
The first-rank despised the second-rank, the second-rank despised the fellow scholars, the fellow scholars despised the high scholars, the high scholars despised the directorates, the directorates despised the elementary scholars, and the elementary scholars despised the Imperial College.
One could see how terrible the eunuch was.
It was even worse than the adult education in famous universities.
The Imperial College used to be the best school in the world. After the imperial examination system came out, the Imperial College became a place for the rich and powerful. After the great merchants had spent money to send their children to the Imperial College, the children of the influential families could not tolerate it any longer and set up another Directorate.
âSupervisor Shen, why are you looking for me?â Wang Qike said.
Shen lang said,âLord Wang, itâs better to make friends than enemies!â Weâve met before, so weâre half acquaintances. Please have mercy on Jin mucongâs matter. The Jin family will never forget the friendship between us.â
âSupervisor Shen, are you trying to bribe me?â Wang Qike, the county Magistrate of ten thousand years, laughed.
âSir Wang, what do you want?â Shen lang asked.
âIâm trusted by His Majesty,â Wang Qike said,âand Iâm the county Magistrate in charge of this land of kindness. My goal is to uphold justice. Donât worry, Iâll judge the case fairly. I wonât wrong a good person, and I wonât let a bad person go.â
âSir Wang, please be more direct,â Shen lang said.
Wang Qike said,âIâll be more direct. Supervisor Shen, you donât have to waste your time. Itâs useless no matter who you ask for help.â Not to mention the fifth Prince, even if the count of Black Tortoise personally came to plead for mercy, I would still say the same thing. I would never let off any evil person. Jin mucong had committed a heinous crime and was sentenced to corruption according to the laws of Yue country. If I, Wang Qike, was afraid of power, I wouldnât have gone to the court of judicial review, and I wouldnât have been in this position.â
Shen lang looked at Wang Qike and bowed. âThis student will take his leave first!â
Then, Shen lang left.
The magistrate was disdainful.
Shen lang, no matter how powerful you are in Xuanwu city, itâs useless once you enter the capital.
Even if youâre a Dragon, youâd better turn into a worm.
Other than Ning Zheng, that trash, youâre completely isolated and helpless. Even if you have great abilities, you canât use them.
Donât think that you can stir up trouble in Xuanwu city and come to the capital. Youâre courting death!
How was it now?
In front of this official, you donât even dare to breathe loudly. You still want to plead for mercy and even want to bribe this official.
Didnât he still obediently withdraw now? Of course, it was impossible to torture Jin mucong, but it was possible to torture him.
At this moment, a private advisor walked over and said, â âYour Excellency, will Zhenzhen make a big deal out of this? will the king be unhappy if he knows?â
Wang Qike said, â even if the Emperor knows, he will turn a blind eye. Su shaobao is my biggest benefactor for me to be able to get to this position. As a person, I must know how to repay a favor.
To be more precise, he could not refuse concubine SUâs request.
Because he was an official of the SU family.
The Imperial court was divided into two major factions, the crown princeâs faction and the third Princeâs faction.
However, this was a battle for the throne, and many people really didnât dare to get involved.
Of course, it would be good if they won, but they would die if they lost.
However, people in the martial world had no choice. You canât choose a side just because you donât want to?
How could there be such a good thing? if you donât pick a side, donât even think about getting promoted.
What was the most important thing in the government?
Of course, it was a backer.
As a result, a neutral faction appeared in the Imperial court.
Of course, this was not the name of the faction. It was publicly known as the monarch loyal faction.
We will only support the monarch. We will support whoever becomes the monarch.
And su Nan was one of the Giants of this neutral faction.
Of course, originally, the largest power in the neutral faction should have been Duke Bian Xiao, but he was too arrogant and too proud. He didnât even want to join any faction, not even the neutral faction.
The emergence of a neutral faction had given a large number of officials in Yue country a way out.
As a result, a large number of officials who did not dare to participate in the fight for the throne joined in.
Wang Qike was in his forties this year and had been the Deputy of the court of judicial review for eight years.
And there was no hope of advancement at all.
He didnât expect to be promoted immediately after joining the neutral faction, and to be a County Magistrate for ten thousand years.
Therefore, could Wang Qike not repay Marquis su Nan?
Of course, Marquis su Nan would never admit that he was the head of the neutral faction. He always said that they were loyal to the king and that the king was their only will.
The meaning was clear. There was only one heaven in the neutral faction, and there was only one giant, and that was the king.
Therefore, he did what concubine su asked him to do.
Even if he was a little afraid of Shen lang.
Most of them did not have the right to know about the details of the battle of raging tide city, but they could roughly guess that Shen lang had played a significant role in it.
However, he did not expect Shen lang to be so useless.
everyone says that Shen langzhi is like a demon. I think heâs a good-for-nothing too. âNot very capable,â the aide sneered.
Wang Qike said,âeven if heâs a dragon, heâll be a worm in the capital.â What kind of power did the SU family have in the capital? they could cover the sky and cover the sun. Shen lang could not do anything and could easily kill them with a single palm. He could not use any of his abilities. Howâs Jin mucong doing in the prison?â
itâs quiet, â the aide said. Iâm slightly injured and groaning in pain.
interesting, interesting, â Wang Qike said. go and tell Yufang that I heard his wife is good at cooking. Sheâll send her to my house to make two meals for me to try.
The aide immediately revealed a wretched smile and said,âI understand, I understand. Miss Chenâs fish is not bad. Daren must have a good taste.â
And at this moment.
A series of intense drum beats suddenly rang out from outside.
It was the middle of the night, who was tired of living, to actually beat the drum and cry injustice?
If he wanted to complain, he could come back tomorrow.
look who it is! Wang Qike said angrily. give me ten lashes and then throw him out.
âYes!â
The two bailiffs walked out with murderous intent.
A moment later, there was a scream from outside.
Then, the two bailiffs walked in. One had his nose broken and the other had four of his teeth knocked out.
The Wannian County Magistrate, Wang Qike, was furious and shouted, â âWho is this? is he trying to rebel? How dare you publicly beat up a ten thousand year bailiff?â
âYes, Shen lang asked someone to beat him up!â The bailiff said.
âCourting death, this evil creature is courting death!â Wang Qike said coldly, â you beat up an officer in public. Men! Go and arrest Shen lang immediately.
Then, Wang Qike personally walked out with dozens of Warriors, full of killing intent.
Shen lang, you must be out of your mind.
He actually dared to cause trouble in the capital, wasnât this courting death?
We were just worried that we couldnât find any evidence against you.
now, now that youâve fallen into my hands, if I donât beat you to death and come back, how can I wash away the humiliation I suffered in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu?
............
When the Wannian County Magistrate, Wang Qike, walked out with dozens of Warriors, Shen lang was still beating the drum.
âHow dare you, Shen lang, beat up an officer at the feet of the king. Do you think this is your Xuanwu city? I really donât know how uncle Black Tortoise disciplins them. They are simply disgraceful. Men, take them down!â
After saying that, the dozens of Warriors behind him rushed forward.
At this moment, a figure stood out.
It was bright red, and even under the lights of the night, it was still very eye-catching.
Princess Ning Yan? Why was this scourge here too?
Why was she with Shen lang?
Princess ning Meng said,âCounty Magistrate for ten thousand years, I was the one who beat up your men. Do you have any objections?â Are you going to arrest me?â
Wang Qikeâs scalp went numb.
Who dares to capture you? are you tired of living?
You even dared to kill your husband, not to mention others.
Wang Qike bowed and said, â greetings, Your Highness. However, this matter is related to the countryâs law and the kingâs reputation. Your Highness, please think twice.
To be honest, Wang Qike didnât really respect the princess that much.
After all, she was only domineering and had no power in her hands.
If she only hit people and caused trouble to the market, the Emperor would turn a blind eye.
However, if she interfered with the political Hall, the monarch would not spare her.
Princess Ning Yan said, â Iâm not asking you to bend the law. Itâs just that Shen lang wants to file a complaint. You have to try the case. Although itâs the middle of the night, a human life is at stake. Iâll have to trouble you to open the hall overnight.â
Wang Qike looked at Shen lang coldly.
He had originally planned to hear Jin mucongâs case of corrupting the Chen family the next morning. After all, there was no reason for a court hearing in the middle of the night.
But since you canât wait and want to die early, then Iâll satisfy you.
This case had irrefutable evidence. Even if Shen lang had the ability, he wouldnât be able to reverse the situation.
Do you want Jin mucong to die in advance?
Alright, Iâll fulfill your wish!
âMen, raise the hall!â
âBring the criminal Jin mucong, the plaintiff Yu Fang, and the victim, miss Chen.â
Jin mucong, the criminal, should be the defendant or the suspect.
Youâre directly a criminal, arenât you setting a position?
Then, Wang Qike went to change into his official uniform and put on his official hat.
Dozens of bailiffs picked up their water and fire rods. The Registrar of the prison and the scribes who were responsible for recording the events were present.
What a big scene!
Hundreds of people filled up the entire ten thousand year county government Hall.
It was majestic!
The killing intent was overbearing!
The hall was about to officially open.
Shen lang bid farewell to Princess ning Meng.
Shen lang, you have to rely on yourself in court. Iâll go and settle your other matter. Ning Meng said.
âGo,â Shen lang said.
Ning Yan said, â this case has irrefutable evidence. You canât clear Jin mucongâs name. Even the gods canât clear his name. He was caught on the spot. The evidence is irrefutable.
âItâs fine. Leave everything to me.â Shen lang said, â martial arts are outside of poetry. The court is not important. The two big shows outside are more important. Iâll have to trouble you for this.
The tigress Princess patted her chest and said, â no problem. Iâm a loyal person. Youâve cured me. I said that as long as you ask for anything, thereâs nothing I canât do in the entire capital.
The tigress Princess continued,âalthough I like excitement, although I like to make things big ...â But this matter is too big, itâll Pierce the heavens. Are you sure you want to do this?â
yes, I want to break the heavens. I guarantee that you will be fine. The king will even praise you for doing well.
âPrincess Ning Ying, youâre usually so bold. You wouldnât be afraid to do this, would you?â
Ning Meng was furious. She patted her chest and said, â âNonsense. Thereâs nothing I donât dare to do in the capital.â
Shen lang said, â then do it. Break the sky. Let everyone see how heroic and powerful you are.
Princess ning Mengâs blood was boiling. Before this, she had only done small things, and had never done such a big thing. She must be very happy.
âYou go to the court and fight with the officers. Leave the outside to me.â The tigress patted herself again.
Finally, Shen lang could not take it anymore. He clapped his hands and said, â âGood brother.â
âGood brother!â Princess ning Meng was still in a daze. After all, Shen Langâs expression was too righteous.
Then, she punched Shen Langâs chest to show that they were brothers.
pfft! Pfft! Shen lang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Princess ning Meng had left to do something important. Tomorrow morning, he was going to shock everyone. He, Ning Yan, was definitely not a woman who only knew how to cause small troubles.
However, after walking for a long time, she remembered that Shen lang did not use his fist. Instead, he used his palm to hit her.
What did he mean by this? Taking advantage of me? I treat him like a brother. He canât be thinking about me, right?
That wonât do. If thatâs the case, Iâll kill him.
..................
In the ten-thousand-year County Magistrateâs Court!
âMighty!â
âWu!â
Dozens of bailiffs shouted.
The water-Fire Rod struck the ground violently.
There were even dozens of fully armed Warriors outside the Yamen, their hands holding the hilt of their swords at all times.
It was so awe-inspiring that it made people almost unable to breathe.
The county Magistrate, Wang Qike, was shocked and shouted,âWho are you, and what injustice do you have?â
Yu Fangâs face was filled with grief. He was about to kneel down and accuse Jin mucong of harming his wife, miss Chen.
However, there was one person who was faster.
Shen lang immediately said,âI, Shen lang, am here to Sue the Chen family for tarnishing Jin mucong!â She saw that my brother Jin mucong was handsome and cute, and was drunk and unconscious, so she took the opportunity to do something shameful and took away his 18 years of innocence. She made my brother Jin mucong suffer so much that he would rather die. It was a great humiliation.â
âSuch an ugly matter is shocking and appalling. Iâve never seen or heard of such a vicious woman.â
my Lord, please seek justice for my brother, Jin mucong!
Everyone was shocked.
F * ck me, it can even be like this?
