Chapter 333 Cen Mingzhu's Arrogance
"Zhu Yixuan! I am your wife! Is this how you treat me? I guessed right, you still have that bitch in your heart!" Cen Mingzhu was desperate and directed all her resentment at Zhu Yixuan.
The police had already come in while the couple was arguing.
"Ms. Cen, please come with us and don't make things too difficult for us." The official had a blank expression on his face and changed his address from Madam Eldest Young Master to Ms. Cen, which showed that the government really did not intend to give face to General Cen.
Zhu Yixuan's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Cen Mingzhu who had not yet figured out the situation, and stepped forward and politely bowed, "I am sorry to have kept you two waiting. My wife will be leaving soon. I wonder what my wife has done wrong?"
Seeing that Zhu Yixuan was truly unaware of the situation, the officer felt sympathy for him for some reason. "Mr. Zhu, your wife broke into a private residence today and injured someone. It would have been fine if she didn't get any advantage, but she even bribed some hooligans to cause trouble. Those hooligans have already confessed everything."
Cen Mingzhu's face changed slightly, and she glared at Xiaoshuang fiercely, denying it flatly, "I admit that I beat those two lowly people. Bribing the hooligans? Do you have any evidence?"
The officer said calmly, "The county magistrate has already found all the evidence and arrested all the people who should be arrested. Four hooligans have been killed. There is no way this matter can be resolved peacefully."
"Someone died?" Zhu Yixuan was shocked and glared at Cen Mingzhu. "What on earth did you do? Tell me!"
"How would I know that those untouchables are so unreasonable and dare to kill people! Quick! Kill them quickly, otherwise I won't be able to live a peaceful life." Cen Mingzhu covered his chest with his hands, looking scared, and his words were very vicious.
If Zhu Yixuan hadn't had a trace of rationality left, he would have slapped him, "Cen family! This is Zhaohua County, not your Cen family's territory! We are just a merchant family! Think before you speak or act."
Cen Mingzhu rolled her eyes in disdain, confident and fearless, "What are you afraid of! With my father here, what's the big deal about killing a small county magistrate? Look how scared you are!"
Zhu Yixuan was about to vomit blood, and shouted angrily: "Someone! Tie up the lady and send her to the court!"
"Zhu Yixuan, how dare you!" Cen Mingzhu widened her eyes in disbelief, "If you weren't still obsessed with that bitch Ke, I wouldn't have done this!"
"Ke? Mingzhu, I remember I told you that Ke and I have nothing to do with each other anymore!" Zhu Yixuan was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it, so he had to keep calm and deal with Cen Mingzhu.
Cen Mingzhu stamped her feet excitedly, "Bullshit! I saw it all. She's gone, but you still went to her place to miss her. Is this what you call having no relationship? Zhu Yixuan, you don't even dare to admit such a thing, are you still a man!"
"Mad! Really crazy!" Zhu Yixuan didn't want to continue to argue with Cen Mingzhu. He looked at the yamen runners who were determined to take Cen away. He clenched his fists tightly and asked the old woman to take Cen Mingzhu and Xiaoshuang out, and even the coachman was not spared.
Cen Mingzhu had never been humiliated like this before. As soon as she was free in the court, she pointed at the county magistrate's nose and cursed, "You dog official, do you know who my father is? He is a fifth-rank general in the court. He will be promoted soon for his great merit this time. If you dare to offend me, I will make my father kick you out of your position as county magistrate! And you, you reckless men! I will remember everything!"
Cen Mingzhu glared fiercely at the officers who escorted her here and threatened them wildly.
It was the first time for the people gathered outside the court to see such an arrogant person. They all kept their distance from him and did not dare to point fingers or make any comments.
Duan Ren's face was gloomy, and he was somewhat worried, but then he thought that the Shen family had the protection of Yong'an Marquis, and the Cen family would not dare to do anything wrong, so he felt a little more at ease.
He slammed the gavel down heavily, "Cen, the Su family of the Shen family sued you for trespassing, beating up the villagers of Shenjia Village, and bribing hooligans to cause trouble at home. Do you plead guilty?"
Cen Mingzhu sneered, smoothed her messy hair, and laughed wildly, "So what? They are just a few lowly people, just pay some money, is there any need to make a big fuss?"
"Untouchables? Cen, the untouchables in your eyes are all good citizens, protected by the laws of Langya State. If I deliver your words today to the ears of heaven, do you think your father Cen Yingfan still has hope of promotion?" Duan Ren raised his eyebrows indifferently.
Cen Mingzhu's face darkened instantly. "You threaten me? Just you?"
Duan Ren laughed in silence, with a trace of sadness on his face, "General Cen's reputation will be ruined by your ignorant daughter! Fortunately, you are now a wife of the Zhu family, and the trouble you cause will only be borne by the Zhu family."
Zhu Yixuan's face tensed, and he quickly knelt down to confess his guilt. "My Lord County Magistrate, I was not aware of what my wife did, and I don't know what the current situation is. I can apologize on my wife's behalf and pay money, no matter how much it costs."
"Silver? Haha, Zhu Yixuan, I know your Zhu family is not short of silver, but some people cannot be dealt with by silver. The Cen family has offended the powerful people in the dynasty. Not to mention you, even if Cen Yingfan comes forward, it will be useless! You should think of a way to protect yourself first!"
Duan Ren kindly gave Zhu Yixuan a few reminders because of his good attitude.
Zhu Yixuan's face turned even paler, and he was a little frightened. "Sir, the dignitaries of the court are..."
How could he not know that there were still powerful people in Zhaohua County? What did that bitch Cen Mingzhu do?
Duan Ren thought of Liu Laosan's reminder, shook his head meaningfully, and asked his master to bring a bill of indictment to Cen Mingzhu, and said slowly: "Cen, since you have already admitted your guilt, please sign it!"
"Wait, you can't sign!" Zhu Yixuan stepped forward to stop him, and pleaded urgently: "Sir, I want to come forward to negotiate with the Shen family first, apologize and admit my mistakes. If the Shen family is not satisfied, I will not say anything if they insist on reporting to the police."
Duan Ren gritted his teeth, annoyed, "How foolish! I have already said it, now someone has died! How can we settle it privately? Do you think the imperial decree is just for show? What Cen did is true, and she confessed to it. She must sign it, and I will give an explanation to the victim and the people! As for your plan, that is your business, I don't care."
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhu family is the largest family in Zhaohua County, he wouldn't want to say so much nonsense to Zhu Yixuan.
Zhu Yixuan knew that it was hopeless to stop them, so he could only watch as Cen Mingzhu was taken by the police to press his fingerprints and was thrown into the dungeon.
Only then did Cen Mingzhu realize how scared she was. She desperately grabbed onto Zhu Yixuan's clothes and refused to let go. "Husband, you can't just ignore me. Save me, my dad! Find my dad! My dad won't just sit there and do nothing! Hurry up and get someone to find my dad!"
Zhu Yixuan clenched his fists tightly and watched Cen Mingzhu being dragged away.
This time, not only Cen Mingzhu was embarrassed, but his Zhu family also suffered a loss of reputation.
