Chapter 135 If it happens again, I will kill you
The white lantern hanging in front of the carriage swayed left and right in the cold wind in the afterglow of the setting sun, occasionally hitting the carriage, making a dull sound.
Lu Mingchao never tired of giving annoying instructions to comfort Lu Lei.
Lu Lei, a simple and honest man, had always been tending the farmland. Suddenly he was involved in a lawsuit and was very nervous.
"Brother, the Lu family will never suffer losses!"
Lu Yao answered, his voice was as cold as the gradually cold sunset, and the floating light warmth was like the afterglow of dusk. "Brother, Chao Chao is a person who will not accept any loss. If he suffers a loss, he will find ways to make the other party pay double."
"Master Yuxian's impatience just shows that he has run out of ideas."
"Paper tiger, if you ignore it, it doesn't exist."
"If you are afraid, he can continue to act arrogantly."
"Yes, big brother, I will definitely get this place back!" Lu Mingchao said loudly.
Xie Yan pulled out a portrait from his lapel, unfolded it, and said in a low voice, "Brother, this is the jailer Fu, an old acquaintance of mine."
"If you recognize this person, you can ask him for help if you encounter any problems in the county jail. He will do his best to help you and keep you safe."
"And Xu County Magistrate's intention to show goodwill to the Ming Dynasty is obvious. He may have tacitly approved the Ming Dynasty's idea of replacing Sun Zhiye. The advantage is on our side."
Lu Lei took a deep breath and his heart slowly calmed down.
What are you panicking about!
He is the eldest son of the Lu family. Even if he cannot cope with the conspiracy and plot, he must remain stable!
Before it became completely dark, the group arrived in Changhe County.
The lanterns hanging high on both sides of the long street have been lit up, one after another, adding a bit of warmth.
County Magistrate Xu was very tired.
County Magistrate Xu was very tired.
I have been in office for many years, but I have never had the experience of hearing a case overnight.
Sun Zhiye refused to acknowledge the accusation made by Mrs. Xing.
Old lady Xing was covered in blood but she kept biting Sun Zhiye and refused to let go.
The witnesses and evidences enthusiastically brought by the people further proved that Old Lady Xing was not making false accusations.
The two sides were deadlocked and argued for a long time, and then Du Zhong came to surrender and confessed that Sun Zhiye had already ordered him to destroy the rice that had been damp and moldy, and it was his greed that led to the big mistake.
Old Mrs. Xing, with wounds all over her body, angrily cursed Du Zhong, saying that he was a dog raised by Sun Zhiye and a scapegoat.
But no matter what, Mrs. Xing could not effectively prove that Sun Sun Zhiye was directly involved.
Finally, Du Zhong took the blame on behalf of Sun Zhiye.
He thought he could breathe a sigh of relief now that the case was settled, but he never expected that the drum of injustice would start ringing again.
Mr. Cheng, a private school teacher in Lianhua Town, filed a lawsuit against Lu Lei of Changxi Village for seducing his daughter into seducing him.
Lu Lei!
Lu Mingchao's elder brother!
What a coincidence!
In just a moment, he figured out the key.
I’m afraid Sun Zhiye’s hand was involved in this.
The injustice drum had already sounded, and the onlookers had not yet dispersed completely. He held his breath and had to accept Master Cheng's complaint. He ordered the officials to go to Changxi Village to summon Lu Lei to the court for trial.
Lu Mingchao and Sun Zhiye met in a narrow alley outside the county government office.
The alley was empty and deserted.
"Mrs. Xie, what a coincidence." Sun Zhiye bowed and an incongruous smile appeared on his gloomy face.
Lu Mingchao was forcing him to cut off his arms step by step and was stuck in the mud.
Perhaps it was because the light from the county government's lantern was too soft, he actually felt that Lu Mingchao was like a bright pearl glowing like beautiful jade.
Before this, he was more concerned about Lu Mingchao's identity and intelligence, and never simply appreciated Lu Mingchao's appearance.
Lu Mingchao sneered, "Is it a coincidence?"
It was obvious that he stayed here on purpose to admire her anxious and gaffe-like behavior.
Unfortunately, Sun Zhiye will be disappointed.
"Young Master Sun is willing to give up, he can let go, and he can make decisions when necessary. In terms of ruthlessness, I am far inferior to Young Master Sun."
"Thank you for your advice!" Lu Mingchao said sincerely.
"But I don't know what Young Master Sun will give up next time."
Sun Zhiye's face turned blue and white at times, and his face seemed to be in a dyeing factory, changing constantly.
"I hope Mrs. Xie can keep laughing."
Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows and said, "It is still unknown whether I can keep laughing, but Young Master Sun will definitely not be able to laugh anymore."
Furious, Sun Zhiye could not help but retort, "If your brother seduces a young girl, the punishment will be more serious than a small punishment of 100 strokes of the cane and three years of exile."
"By then, I wonder if Madam Xie will be able to bear the pain of losing her brother."
The smile on Lu Mingchao's face faded, as if a late spring cold snap had arrived with the wind and snow when the spring flowers were in full bloom. His expression was as cold as the light reflected from a knife blade. "Did Master Sun learn from the pain of losing his brother?"
"Oh, Master Yuxian?"
"The reputation that I have painstakingly built up is vulnerable to attack!"
"Excuse me!"
Lu Mingchao raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Sun Zhiye with disgust. "By the way, thank you, Mr. Sun, for the great gift for my brother."
If you think about it from another angle, it’s a great gift!
If Sun Zhiye hadn't gone through so much trouble, Lu Lei might have married the evil-minded Cheng Zhi.
Sun Zhiye stared blankly at Lu Mingchao's back as he walked further and further away.
It is thin and skinny, but also very straight, as if it cannot be bent no matter how hard you press it.
He couldn't understand why he became a defeated general under Lu Mingchao again.
"Lu Mingchao."
Lu Mingchao did not stop walking, and there was no need to say a word if there was no agreement.
"Lu Mingchao, your brother has encountered such a serious problem, but Xie Yan actually trusted you to come to the county government alone at dusk."
"He treats you just as well."
Lu Mingchao asked nonchalantly, "Where does the barking sound come from? It's disturbing."
Her Ah Yan naturally went to look for the best storyteller in Changhe County.
If a storyteller wants to make a fortune, he naturally has to keep up with current affairs. How can he become rich if he just keeps doing old things behind closed doors?
As for Lu Yao, he was furiously writing a storybook that would make people feel indignant in a familiar bookstore.
Every profession has its own expertise, and it’s time to tear off the hypocritical mask of Master Yuxian.
Sun Zhiye is even trying to sow discord, which is really ridiculous.
Lu Mingchao couldn't help but think of what Xie Yan said about there being a portrait of her in Sun Zhiye's study, and he felt it was even more unlucky.
The night wind was quiet and chilly, and the jade pendant tied around Sun Zhiye's waist jingled, making one's thoughts drift away.
Sun Zhiye's mind flashed with the scene where Tian Dong advised him to make peace with Lu Mingchao, saying that peace would lead to a win-win situation for both sides.
"Lu Mingchao, if I am willing to marry you with 70% of my Sun family's assets, are you willing to divorce and marry me?"
Only 70%.
If Lu Mingchao joins forces with him, there will be no problem for the Sun family's industry to increase several times.
Sun Zhiye's incomprehensible words sounded like water drops hitting an oil pan and exploding in Lu Mingchao's ears.
I've seen shameful things, but I've never seen anything so shameful!
Lu Mingchao could no longer bear it, so he stopped in his tracks, and took out the bow and arrow stored in the space supermarket under the cover of the white fox fur. He threw the fox fur, drew the bow and shot the arrow, which went straight through the paper lantern above Sun Zhiye's head. The candle went out, and the lantern shook. "If you do it again next time, I will kill you!"
