422 Please watch my father’s performance

Lu Zheng walked over and was amused by what he saw. Was second uncle planning to let the Cheng family be hated by everyone in Taoyuan County?

“Since you’re here to testify, you can all read it out!” Lord Cheng suddenly panicked.

“Yes, my Lord!” Big red shook the crimes in its hands, then turned to read to the people, ” 11th of February, at midnight, in a dilapidated temple on Sanli Hill in the south of the city. After the deed is done, five hundred taels will be paid. Wait at the back door of the county Yamen at 12th Night. It’s signed off by Cheng Rui.”

“Who is Cheng Rui?” The people were dumbfounded, but da Zi wasn’t.

“I heard that Lord Cheng’s eldest son is called Cheng Rui!” Someone in the crowd said.

“Ah?” The commoners all looked at Lord Cheng.

Master Cheng frowned and suddenly understood why the teachers of the Yuanshan Academy and Zhu yuantang looked at him like that.

“Preposterous!” Lord Cheng hit the gavel a few more times. silence! Silence!”

The commoners shut their mouths subconsciously.

Zhu yuantang said,”third brother, we have a mission!” Time is tight, I have to make arrangements first. You go to the second household of the Gu family in the village at the crossroads on the night of the eleventh and wait for my news. After I’ve captured her, I’ll send you a signal. After the signal is sent, you rush into the second branch’s house. There’s a big house in the northeast of the house. Quietly move the things in the house to the county government office and burn down the courtyard. After it’s done, we’ll have five hundred taels!”

“Shut up! Shut up!” Lord Cheng was so angry that he rushed down to stop Zhu yuantang.

Lu Zheng would not let him have his way. He stood in front of Zhu yuantang.

Lord Cheng couldn’t care less if Lu Zheng had any gifts from the Emperor. He wanted to push him away, but he couldn’t and asked the bailiffs to help catch him.

In this process, Zhu yuantang had finished reading the “evidence.”

“Lord Cheng!” Gu shouxin pulled Lu Zheng over and faced Lord Cheng. It was full of momentum.

“Mother, please watch my father’s performance!” Gu Nian whispered in Cai Xiaolian’s ear.

Cai Xiaolian’s mouth twitched,”this person is really … He didn’t even tell everyone. It’s better to be mentally prepared!” It was so sudden! She had thought that the emperor’s words would not work!

“Lord Cheng! Hahahahaha! Lord Cheng, it seems that I didn’t cheat today, but you really tricked ah Yuan and me out! He thought that I was the only man in our family and that ah Yuan lived at the entrance of the village. If we made a big commotion, he would be disturbed. So, he found a random excuse to take us to the Yamen! To aid your son’s plan?”

“Did I kill your entire family or dig up your Cheng family’s ancestral grave? You want to do this to me! Why does your son want to abduct my wife and daughter? What was he doing in the ruined temple? Why did you burn down my house? Just say it! Just say it!” Gu shouxin grabbed Lord Cheng’s collar with both hands and shook him hard.

“Preposterous, impudent! Ridiculous! Gu shouxin, this is all your trap! You’re impudent! Someone’s here!” Lord Cheng was dizzy from the shaking, but he couldn’t break free.

“I’ll see who dares!” Lu Zheng directly took the knife and got into a position to protect Gu shouxin.

“I’ll see who dares!” Gu Hui also stood up and walked over.

“Whoever dares to touch my father, I’ll kill myself here!” Gu Nian stepped forward. She knew that her father was putting on an act to win the sympathy of the people. So, it was not that she was going to Cut Off Your Hands and feet, but that she was going to be forced to die!

“Father!” Gu Xin was smart and immediately understood her father and sister’s intentions. She did not make a move and ran over with tears in her eyes.

Gu si followed behind her. She could not squeeze out tears, but she did not need to pretend to be pitiful. She looked the most innocent without any expression.

“Her father, don’t do anything stupid! Don’t hit me! How can we commoners fight against the officials?” Cai Xiaolian plopped down on the ground and slapped the floor as she shouted.
