Chapter 273 What a cruel husband!
In his previous life, he had already stood in the court, but now he doesn’t even have an official position, he is just a scholar.
Fortunately, he did not miss his greatest reliance, which was the prince.
That’s right, the current prince is the young man he rescued when he was studying in the town.
As long as the prince holds on to his position, it will be easy for him to get promoted.
Now that the prince has just ascended the throne, many things are yet to be decided, so he has no time to take care of a scholar like him. But after all, the favor of saving his life cannot be faked. As long as he finishes the basic tasks, his good days should come.
But he always had a question in his mind and never found the answer.
That was his previous life, what was the reason for his death?
He remembered that before his death, he had been promoted to the position of Junior Tutor to the Emperor, above ten thousand people and below a few others, and was very prominent for a time. But somehow, he suddenly died while sleeping one day and was reborn.
He was in good health at that time, so it was impossible for him to die suddenly. There was only one possibility: someone killed him!
He had always wanted to find out the reason, or the murderer, but he was in a very high position at that time and should have been safe. He didn't think of it then, and now he is not qualified to do so, so he has no way to investigate.
We still have to wait until he becomes an official before we can track down clues.
Now he was just a poor scholar, and no one would want to kill him, except Zhou Lang and his wife. But in the previous life, these two people had long since disappeared, so they would not be the murderer.
Thinking about it this way, it’s not entirely a bad thing that I don’t have an official position for the time being.
Just when he was worried and anxious, a figure flashed past him and ran up to him quickly.
He took a quick glance and his eyes widened instantly as if he had seen a ghost.
This person is not...
In the hall, the two parties were arguing fiercely. The prince slammed the table and said angrily:
"That's enough! How can you hold back on this important matter? I have made up my mind. This matter cannot be changed. Starting tomorrow, we will prepare for the wedding!"
Zhou Lang and his wife had repeatedly gone against him and disobeyed him, and he had long lost his patience with them.
Prince Gong immediately revealed an expression of gloating. He had never been able to do anything with these two people, so now it was good to be able to disgust them a little.
Zhou Lang said loudly:
"There must be other ways to resolve this matter. Your Highness, how can you force me to marry you? I'm sorry I can't obey your order!"
The prince was furious.
"You are so brave! Do you think I can't punish you?"
Princess Jinghong covered her face and sobbed.
"What a cruel man! I am so embarrassed that I have no choice but to leave now!"
After saying this, he covered his face and left in a hurry.
It was useless for her to continue talking, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing, so it was better to retreat in order to advance. Anyway, she had already made the stakes clear, and she didn't believe that the important officials in the court would not help her settle the matter.
Seeing this scene, some young officials felt contempt for Zhou Lang's lack of understanding of romance, and at the same time they sighed with regret. Alas, why didn't the saint like me?
Prince Gong took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"Zhou Lang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but as a man, what's wrong with marrying another wife? Are you seriously afraid of your wife? This is a bit difficult to deal with, but no matter what, this matter concerns the survival of Dayu. You have to agree to this matter, whether you agree or not! Otherwise, not only the civil and military officials in the court, but also hundreds of millions of people will spurn you!"
Zhou Lang said indifferently:
"The survival of the country depends on marriage, and you actually believe in such a ridiculous thing? Then you can spit on it, I don't care!"
The prince said angrily:
"You are simply stubborn! Uncle Gong, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Prince Gong said proudly:
"This is not difficult to do! First, throw this stubborn guy into jail. He will give in after a while! Second, order him to divorce his wife! Isn't it enough to let them divorce?"
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang glared at each other.
Old Duke Cui frowned and rebuked:
"You old scoundrel, you have ulterior motives! A saint seeking a marriage is a beautiful thing, how can you do such a thing that ruins the mood and creates resentment?"
It has been confirmed that Prince Gong and the Crown Prince are in cahoots. This is extremely bad for the old Duke.
But he couldn't tell the truth from the saint's words, and it was not easy for him to speak for Zhou Lang and his wife.
But the words of this old villain, Prince Gong, must be refuted.
The prince said:
"It's up to them to choose whether to have a grudge or not! Zhou Lang, go to jail to divorce your wife, or marry the Saint, you can choose one!"
Zhou Lang's face was gloomy, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But now is not the time.
"I'm willing to go to jail!" he said simply.
Everyone was shocked.
They had never seen a master with this kind of temper.
The saint is not bad looking, why is she so rigid?
The prince snorted angrily.
"Okay, come here! Take Zhou Lang to jail!"
Lin Shiqi was furious. What a lousy prince! Do you really think you are destined to be the king? I will kill you tonight!
Several imperial guards rushed forward and were about to drag Zhou Lang away. At this moment, a clear voice came:
"stop!"
Everyone looked towards the door. At this time, how could there still be someone so stubborn as to block their way?
Then a handsome young man walked into the hall, surrounded by several royal family members.
Lin Shiqi was standing at the back. She saw who was coming at a glance and her eyes widened instantly. Little mute girl? !
She asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
The little mute girl smiled and spoke clearly.
"Wait a moment, Mom. I have something to deal with."
All the officials in the court looked at this man in astonishment, only a few of them looked thoughtful.
When Prince Gong and the Crown Prince saw who this person was, their faces changed instantly!
"Who dares to trespass into the hall? Come, arrest him quickly!" The prince shouted in the hall, but his voice trembled slightly.
Several imperial guards rushed over but were stopped.
There are Lin Shiqi, Zhou Lang, and the old Duke.
There was a brief stalemate, and the mute girl rushed into the hall and said:
"Yanxin, do you want to continue acting?"
The prince in the hall said sternly:
"I don't know what you're talking about, left or right, just take him down!"
This time, more guards rushed over, and two of them were extremely fierce. They were so reckless that they rushed directly towards the little mute girl without caring about their own safety.
The mute girl snorted coldly, and unexpectedly, she took out a gun from her arms, raised her hand and fired two shots, knocking the two men to the ground.
Prince Gong shouted:
"You dare to commit murder in the court, I will beat you to death!"
The mute girl pointed the gun at him again.
Prince Gong stopped talking immediately.
The remaining guards were still trying, but after all, the prince was not yet the emperor, not to mention that there were the old duke and several royal teenagers blocking their way, so their efforts were not so effective.
Lin Shiqi stopped the man and asked:
"Little dumb girl, what's going on?"
The mute girl said calmly:
"The prince in the hall is a fake. He is my book boy Yanxin, and I am Yu Changheng! When I was still studying a few years ago, he was chosen by my father as my companion because he was similar to me in body shape and appearance. When something happened, he took the initiative to pretend to be me to help me escape the pursuit. I didn't expect that after not seeing him for two years, he actually did such a thing as impersonating me! Oh, I really didn't know that he was so bold!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court!
