Chapter 132: The Son of a Member of the Imperial Family Breaks Off the Engagement
If you count carefully, the Sun family has not been quiet for a moment recently.
The signs of decline are already apparent, and we should put an end to them as soon as possible.
The people's awe of the county government is engraved in their bones and engraved in their hearts.
Even though the fence of the county government was removed, the people still did not dare to crowd and push as they did outside Sun Ji Warehouse.
Instead, under the arrangement of the officials, they entered the county government quietly and orderly, but they did not forget to pull the people who were picking rice and grain in the warehouse.
The sun moved away, and the wind gradually regained its winter chill.
Magistrate Xu looked at the crowd of people outside the lobby and realized that Sun Zhiye would not be able to escape the punishment he deserved.
It was also a lawsuit about rice and grain, but Lu Mingchao handled it with ease, while Sun Zhiye was negligent in every aspect.
It has little to do with the layout and strategy. The most crucial thing is that Lu Mingchao understood the meaning of "willing to give up" and his actions were solid and could not be shaken by sudden storms.
After this incident, the foundation of the Sun family was shaken.
The good reputation of Master Sun Zhiye Yuxian will also dissipate into a thin mist.
It was really a waste of his efforts to help Sun Zhiye.
If he had known that Sun Zhiye was so useless, he might as well have cooperated directly with Lu Mingchao.
As soon as Sun Zhiye arrived, County Commander Xu dropped the alarm clock and said, "Go to court."
The yamen runners shouted in unison: "Mighty."
With both witnesses and material evidence, even if Sun Zhiye is eloquent, it would be difficult to change the overall situation.
Therefore, Lu Mingchao was not concerned about the county court trial.
Now, she is also facing a situation where a storm is about to come.
Sun Zhiye adhered to the purpose of not letting Lu Mingchao have an easy time even if he suffered himself. Before the officials came to summon him to court, he ordered his subordinates to find the son of the wealthy man who was engaged to Cheng Zhi, and instructed the son to go to the Cheng family in a grand manner to break off the engagement.
So the son of the wealthy man hired a group of people who played musical instruments and sang at weddings and funerals, and they went to the Cheng family in a very ostentatious manner, beating drums and gongs, laughing and cursing all the way.
As soon as the official's son arrived at the Cheng family, the news that Lu Dalang from Chang Xi Village had seduced the daughter of Master Cheng from Lianhua Town and lost her chastity had spread to everyone.
"Younger generation Zhang Sheng has come to cancel the engagement."
"The daughter of the Cheng family has lofty ambitions, extraordinary courage, and a romantic and carefree personality. However, Zhang's family is young and has little talent and knowledge, so it is difficult for her to be a match for the daughter of the Cheng family. Therefore, I kindly ask Master Cheng to withdraw the marriage certificate, and from now on, the two families will have no relationship."
Zhang Sheng was the son of the Yuanwailang who was engaged to Cheng Zhi.
The three words "lofty ambitions", "extraordinary courage" and "romantic and romantic" all describe Cheng Zhi's fickle nature.
The villagers of Lianhua Town did not believe Zhang Sheng's one-sided statement.
In Lianhua Town, Master Cheng is highly respected and open-minded. If he meets a child who is really eager to learn but comes from a poor family, he will even take the initiative to waive the tuition.
And Cheng Zhi is also a good girl in everyone's eyes.
He not only learned Master Cheng's knowledge, but was also shy, kind, timid and polite.
Even the neighbors who saw it couldn't bear to say anything loudly.
"You little bastard, you look like a decent person, but why are you slandering the innocent girl Zhi?"
"Don't think that just because your father is a wealthy man, he can bully Zhi girl."
Zhang Sheng remained calm, turned around and bowed to the crowd, and said in a resounding and powerful voice, "I have brought a body examiner with me. We will know who is right and who is wrong, true and who is false after a check."
"If I have slandered Miss Cheng, I will kowtow and apologize, and I will ride in a sedan chair to welcome Miss Cheng into the house."
"On the contrary, the Cheng family should give the next explanation for the marriage fraud."
"I have offered several hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift to marry the daughter of the Cheng family, and I have also promised not to take concubines in my lifetime, unless I have no children, and then I can take concubines when I am forty."
"I am sincere, where is the Cheng family?"
"The Cheng family concealed the fact that Miss Cheng was deceived and had an affair with someone, and kept the entire Zhang family in the dark."
"Although the Zhang family is not a well-known and wealthy family, they would never dare to marry a woman who has lost her chastity before marriage and has no self-respect, no self-love, and no integrity as a wife."
When the neighbors heard Zhang Sheng speak so confidently and righteously, they began to have doubts in their hearts.
Zhang Sheng saw this and took advantage of the situation to shout, "Miss Cheng, do you dare to test it?"
After receiving the news, Master Cheng rushed back from the private school and slapped Zhang Sheng hard in the face. "You idiot, how rude!"
The slap was loud, and Master Cheng's suppressed angry scolding was even louder.
This slap seemed to have used up all of Master Cheng's strength.
After the slap landed, Zhang Sheng's face began to turn red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Sheng felt pain, covered his face, and looked gloomy. "Master Cheng, those who respect themselves will always be respected by others; those who observe etiquette will always be treated with courtesy by others."
"My actions today may be inappropriate, but I just don't want to be deceived again. What's wrong with that?"
At this point, Zhang Sheng paused and said sarcastically, "It's better to be rude than shameless."
"Master Cheng, you should understand teaching and educating people, right?"
Master Cheng had a mouthful of blood choking in his throat, and his face turned red with anger.
"What girl who has been examined can have a good reputation? You are going to force Ah Zhi to death!"
Zhang Sheng pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, gasping in pain. "If she is innocent, the promise I made is still valid."
"I am even willing to pay half of the Zhang family's property as compensation."
"Master Cheng, do you dare to let your daughter take a look?"
"I have said so much. If Master Cheng and Miss Cheng are still unwilling, I have nothing to say."
"But, Master Cheng, please understand that it was not me who forced Miss Cheng to death. It was the person who tricked her into losing her virginity. I will not bear the false accusation."
"Please return the marriage certificate, Master Cheng!"
Zhang Sheng waved his sleeves and looked directly at Master Cheng.
The color drained away from Mr. Cheng's face. The looks from his neighbors made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.
"Test!"
"If Azhi is still innocent, I hope you will keep your promise."
"If Ah Zhi really gave it to someone..." Master Cheng gritted his teeth, still feeling very embarrassed, "Then I will personally put her in a pig cage and drown her in the pond. The teachings of the saints, propriety, righteousness, and integrity must not be desecrated!"
"The Cheng family will never keep anyone who has no shame."
Zhang Sheng and Master Cheng's words drove all the storms onto Cheng Zhi's head.
One is the fiancé who was deceived and had to come forward to break off the engagement.
One is the old father who is unaware of the situation but still adheres to his integrity and justice and kills his own son.
Only Cheng Zhi, water-loving, wild and unrestrained!
Changxi Village.
Lu Mingchao hurried back to Lu's home.
"Big brother, second brother, Zhang Sheng went to the Cheng family to cancel the engagement!"
What this means is that Cheng Zhi's infidelity before marriage was also known to everyone.
"Brother, you must be prepared to be summoned to the court for interrogation." Lu Mingchao warned in a deep voice.
Lu Lei looked flustered. “Will it affect the three soil science examinations?”
Lu Mingchao said firmly, "Brother, everything will be fine."
Fortunately, Lu Lei was not stupid enough to care about Cheng Zhi's situation first.
"It proves that Big Brother did not seduce Cheng Zhinan. After all, Big Brother and Cheng Zhinan were once discussing marriage and had made private appointments more than once."
"But it's not difficult to prove that Cheng Zhi had an affair with someone else."
"There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Even if Cheng Zhi, Sun Zhiye and Zhang Sheng insist that I lost my virginity to my eldest brother, there is no need to panic and lose my footing."
Brother, something happened]
