Several people in the Sheng family's inner room couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.
As expected, Sheng Dehai now hated them so much that he would take a bite out of them if he got a chance.
Sheng Yichen had eaten and drunk enough in the morning, and was forced by Sheng Nanxi to take many elixirs and tonics. Now he was full of energy.
Hearing Sheng Dehai barking, 놙 felt extremely excited. 녊 was ready to take a few steps forward, as he was annoyed that the old man didn't even recognize his parents.
But suddenly, an extremely angry voice spoke in front of him:
"Hey! You shameless old thing! You are really a pig arching the door curtain, all relying on this mouth!"
Sitting in Sheng Yichen's arms, Sheng Nanxi was startled, and thought that she had accidentally said what was in her heart.
Turning around, he saw a handsome young man with tan skin rushing in front of everyone in the Sheng family, stiffening his neck and cursing at Sheng Dehai:
"Everyone in the capital knows that you, Second Master Sheng, are not guilty of anything! You can live a comfortable life with your concubines because of the influence of the first wife of the Sheng family!"
"It's fine that you're ungrateful! Now that your wife is in trouble, you're always looking for faults. From morning till night, your mouth never stops spewing shit!"
"Master, I have lived for many years and have never seen someone as shameless as you!"
"Hey! Brother Xuan! Why don't you say something? How can we have a say here?!"
The handsome young man was full of vigor and looked like he was about to roll up his sleeves and go up to beat Sheng Dehai, but he was stopped by a stern-faced middle-aged man.
"Dad! How long are you going to endure this?!"
But the young girl looked stubborn and directly broke free from the restraints of the middle-aged man.
"You have taught me that I should be true to my conscience in everything I do. We, the people of Nanqi, have enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous era for more than 20 years, all thanks to the old man of the Sheng family who has guarded the border for many years."
"Even if the emperor sentences him guilty now, it cannot erase the years that Master Sheng served in the army and made contributions to Southern Qi!"
"It goes against my conscience to see someone randomly splashing dirty water on his family members and not caring about it!"
These words were so powerful that many people in the exile team could not help but feel ashamed and turned away quickly.
"Ouch! You...you..."
The middle-aged man who was freed by his youth had a worried look on his face. But he looked at Sheng Yichen with a rather complicated expression.
The moment their eyes met, Sheng Yichen shook his head unnoticed.
The middle-aged man understood and looked away in an instant. Then, as if he suddenly understood, he sighed and compromised:
"Hey! You really are the one who can't help yourself! All right, all right! Do whatever you want, I don't want to care about you!"
Of course, the eye contact between Sheng Yichen and the middle-aged man did not escape Sheng Nanxi's eyes.
A flash of light flashed through her mind, and she finally remembered who this father and son were.
This stern-faced middle-aged man is named Lin Guodong. He was once a fierce general under my father. However, because he was injured on the battlefield in his early years, he could no longer fight on the battlefield, so he resigned and returned home.
But his two sons were both brave and good at fighting, and they distinguished themselves in their father's army at a young age.
The tan-skinned young man in front of him is Lin Guodong's second son, Lin Xuan.
This time the royal family was determined to eradicate the direct lineage of the Qin Palace, and the Lin family, loyal supporters of the Sheng family, naturally suffered.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan was staying in Beijing for some business at that time, so he was escorted into the exile team together with his father.
Look at the look Lin Guodong and Sheng Yichen gave each other just now.
Sheng Nanxi could guess without even thinking that the two of them must have agreed privately that they shouldn't act too close in the exile team.
However, Lin Guodong did not tell his son about this.
After being exiled, whenever Lin Xiaoxuan wanted to speak up for the Sheng family, his father would persuade him with various reasons.
This straightforward young man must have been frustrated. He ignored the situation and started quarreling with Sheng Dehai loudly.
The tug-of-war between the father and son just now actually gave Sheng Dehai a chance to catch his breath.
He immediately jumped up, shaking his hair that was already stained with oil and tangled into strands, and cursed at Lin Xuan:
"Lin Er! You are a jerk who doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young!
"Who in Nanqi doesn't know this? Your father is a dog that was trapped in Sheng Jinghai's charge! You and your brother are the two dogs that have been raised in the Sheng family!"
"Yesterday, Mr. Liu and a few others drank with Sheng San until late at night, and I was not the only one who saw it! Even if you talk your mouth off, you can't cover up the fact that they killed the official!"
Lin 꿁xuan was so angry at this old bitch that he almost died. He immediately retorted with a red face:
"Bah! You're talking so much nonsense, why don't you show us the evidence? Just because you had a meal with the officers last night, does that mean you are the murderer who murdered them?!"
"Then you were beaten up by Mr. Liu yesterday, can I also say that you are the murderer who killed them?!"
As if he had thought of something, Lin Xiaoxuan suddenly laughed out loud:
"In that case, I think you are more suspicious!"
"Everyone saw it clearly yesterday. Mr. Liu and the other two took good care of the people in the Sheng family. They gave them all the benefits first."
"No, I think everyone can see that as long as Mr. Liu is here, the Sheng family's road to exile will be smooth. If I were them, I would have tried my best to protect Mr. Liu and the others, so how could I hurt them?!"
"You are different, old fellow! Several officials just can't stand you being such a despicable person, and they have been unfriendly to you before. It is entirely possible that you hold a grudge against them and get up in the middle of the night to kill them!"
After he said this, many people in the exile team actually thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
Sheng Nanxi was almost laughing like crazy in her heart.
In order to get close to the people in the Sheng family, Liu Ming and his friends deliberately acted nice to them. Now, they have become the powerful argument that the people in the Sheng family will never harm them.
I guess Liu Ming, sitting on the direct train to the capital, can feel the pain of picking up stones and hitting his feet!
Sheng Dehai was very angry at the idiot in front of him. But what he said was so reasonable that it was hard to refute.
He couldn't find any strong evidence for the moment, so he pointed at Lin Xiaoxuan with a trembling finger and stammered:
"You are just talking nonsense! I, I, I don't have the ability to do that..."
Lin Xiaoxuan did not continue to argue with him. He took a few steps forward and bowed to Li Feihu, saying:
"Sir, I have a report that the exiled prisoner Sheng Dehai had a quarrel with Officer Liu and others yesterday, which gave him sufficient motive to commit the crime."
"Maybe the tools used to commit the crime are on this person right now!"
"Please, sir, have a clear investigation and give justice to the officials!"
