Chapter 57: Chapter 57
Shen Lang said to Youyou, "Father-in-law, Xu Wenzhao must be killed!"
As soon as he said that, everyone present was a little shocked.
Xu Wenzhao, who was hugging Shen Lang's thigh, suddenly froze.
Count rarely killed people, especially old people like Xu Wenzhao.
Even if he embezzled so many gold coins, at most, he would be sent to the countryside to spend the rest of his life.
But Shen Lang just said that he wanted to kill him.
Old Master Lin said, "Son-in-law, Xu Wenzhao is not a servant of our Count House. He is only an employee. We, the Count House, do not have the right to kill him. At most, we can hand him over to the Mayor's Mansion."
This was one of the new policies of the State of Yue.
No nobles had the right to interfere with civil affairs. Other than the slaves who signed the contract, they had no right to judge or kill their subordinates.
Shen Lang said, "Xu Wenzhao not only embezzled a lot of gold coins, but he also colluded with foreign enemies. If we hand him over to the Mayor's Mansion, I'm afraid he will be free in a few days. He will be sent to a place beyond the reach of Xuan Wu Mansion. "
When Xu Wenzhao heard this, he suddenly trembled.
Fine, pretty boy, I'm begging you like a dog, but you're still biting me and won't let go?
He couldn't help but shout, "Shen Lang, don't slander me."
Shen Lang said, "You've embezzled close to 30,000 gold coins in total, but there's only 11,000 gold coins in your treasury. You've bought so many estates and mansions, and your family is living extravagantly, but all of this is only worth 5,000 gold coins in total. Plus the people you bribed, it is at most 2,000 gold coins. Then where did the rest of the 10,000 gold coins go? "
As soon as this was said, Count's eyes narrowed.
Shen Lang said, "If I'm not wrong, you gave these gold coins to the Mayor's Mansion and Taishou Prefecture. Your second son is not in Xuanwu City. Where did he go? I'm afraid that he has gone to the capital. If I'm not wrong, he will be one of the candidates for the next martial examination. "
"Xu Wenzhao, not only did you embezzle the money of the Count House, but you also colluded with the enemy and planned to attack my Xuan Wu Mansion." Shen Lang said lightly, "So, not only did you embezzle money, but you also betrayed us completely."
Xu Wenzhao said sternly, "You have no evidence, don't even think about framing me."
Shen Lang fiercely threw the secret account book of the treasury onto Xu Wenzhao's face and said in a stern voice, "Open your eyes wide and take a look. You clearly remember every single gold coin that you bribed. You clearly remember it."
Lord Count took the account book.
Sure enough, every bribe was clearly recorded on the list.
However, he didn't name them. Instead, he used Number One, Number Two, and Number Three.
However, one could easily guess which forces No.1, No.2, and No.3 belonged to.
Lord Count closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He slowly asked, "Xu Wenzhao, why? What have I done to you all these years? "
In the face of irrefutable evidence, Xu Wenzhao knew that there was no room for him to quibble.
He straightened his body and said coldly, "Lord Count, you are really forgetful. Three years ago, I wanted to recommend my second son to the Count House to be a Baihu, but you refused. Did you forget?"
Was it because of this? You want to betray me?
Lord Count said, "I gave him a chance, but he didn't pass the martial examination and the written examination. How could I let him be a Baihu? The Count House's private army is the foundation of the Kim family. How can I abandon justice? My own nephew wanted to join the private army, but I rejected him. "
Xu Wenzhao sneered and said, "I have been loyal to you for more than 20 years. You are not willing to give my son a future. What is this if not ruthless? Besides, the new government is in full swing. The Xuan Wu Mansion is like a sinking ship. Why should I die with it? Can't I find another way out? "
Lord Count said, "Is looking for another way out betraying the Kim family?"
"Those who achieve great things don't care about trifles," Xu Wenzhao said.
"I will kill you …" Lord Count suddenly pulled out his giant sword.
"Lord Count, you can't kill me!" Xu Wenzhao smiled and said, "I gave away so many gold coins, not only for the future of my son, but also for today. I am only hired by you. I am not a slave of the Kim family. No matter what crime I have committed, you have no right to punish me, let alone kill me. Otherwise, you will be interfering with local civil affairs, which is a violation of national law. Moreover, I have the honor of the State of Yue. "
Master Lin hurriedly hugged Lord Count.
"Master, you can't kill him." Master Lin said, "If you kill Xu Wenzhao here, you will leave a huge evidence. Don't forget how the Donghai Count died in the hands of Zhang Chong."
Chen Lang said, "Father-in-law, this thief deserves to be killed, but we can't kill him now. We can't kill him here."
Just now, he personally killed Xu Tian, but no one knew. His body was burned to ashes and thrown into the sea.
Now, Xu Wenzhao was in the Count House. Countless eyes were watching. If Lord Count killed him, it would be a violation of the new government. He was afraid that the reprimand of the Monarch would come in a few days.
Seeing this scene, Xu Wenzhao suddenly became full of confidence and said: "Sir Count, you are a person who pays the most attention to the rules, so the only thing you can do is to hand me over to the city lord's mansion or the governor's mansion, then submit the evidence of my corruption and let the governor's mansion judge me."
Once he was handed over to Taishou Prefecture, it was easy to imagine what would happen.
They would find a criminal with a similar face and kill him, and Xu Wenzhao would continue to get away with it.
Xu Wenzhao said loudly, "No one can kill me in Xuan Wu Mansion. Otherwise, it will be a violation of the law."
Shen Lang smiled mysteriously and said, "No, we can kill you, and it will not be a violation of the law."
"Dream on." Xu Wenzhao laughed. "Now, Taishou Prefecture and even the Governor's Office are watching you, waiting for you to make a mistake. If I die in the Count House, the Governor's Office will send someone to investigate within two days. "
Shen Lang said, "Xu Wenzhao, how can you be like this? I'm telling the truth. We can really kill you. "
"In your dreams," Xu Wenzhao sneered.
Shen Lang said, "Old Patriarch, it's time for you to clean up the house."
Then, a few figures walked in.
Seeing this, Xu Wenzhao's face drained of all color, and he almost pissed his pants.
Because the people who came in were the Xu Clan's Patriarch, three elders, and a few able-bodied men.
Shen Lang knelt down and said, "Xu Wenzhao, the Count House cannot kill you. But... the rules of the Xu Family, can beat you to death! "
The Old Patriarch of the Xu Clan bowed to the Earl and said: "My Xu Clan has relied on the Earl's mansion for so many years, but unexpectedly, such a heartless and unscrupulous person was born. It's all our fault for not disciplining him properly. We apologize to Earl."
Then, the Patriarch knelt down.
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!" The Count quickly helped the Xu Clan Patriarch up.
The Patriarch's voice was cold, "Guards, bring this bastard Xu Wenzhao back to the Xu Clan's Ancestral Hall and beat him to death!"
Xu Wenzhao struggled with all his might and hissed, "Why? Even if I was corrupt in the Count House, I didn't break any rules. The Ancestral Hall doesn't have the right to kill me. "
Shen Lang walked over and said, "Xu Wenzhao, the crime of killing you isn't corruption, but the crime of seducing an aunt, adultery!"
Xu Wenzhao was completely dumbfounded.
This matter was very secretive. How did Shen Lang know about it?
Although this woman was Xu Wenzhao's aunt, she was only in her thirties.
"Xu Wenzhao, not only do you have financial problems, but your lifestyle is also problematic. You've disappointed the Xu Clan and the people who raised you." Shen Lang said, "But I've really underestimated you. Mathematicians like you can't get hard at this age, but you can still hook up with young and beautiful women."
What couldn't he hook up with? Money makes the world go round.
Money can make a woman make soy milk on a jade plate.
Money can make a woman open her mouth, and of course, it can make her open her mouth and sell Xu Wenzhao.
The key was to see who was willing to pay more.
Of course, only a small portion of women were like this. Most of the women were still pure and noble.
Xu Wenzhao was heartbroken and shouted, "That bitch dared to sell me out. Isn't she afraid of being paraded on the street and beaten to death?"
Shen Lang said, "Give her a sum of money to divorce her useless husband and run away. Of course she would be willing."
"Drag this bastard away." The Xu clan's leader said.
Xu Wenzhao screamed, "Lord Count, spare me, spare me, I'm willing to confess, I've bribed the mayor's office, I've bribed the Taishou Prefecture, and I've also bribed the people close to the governor!"
Lord Count's expression changed.
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "It's useless. The City Lord won't take his money personally. Zhang Jin will also let the Xu Clan collect the gold coins on his behalf. After that, the Xu Clan will wash the gold coins clean and send them to the Zhang Clan as dowry. Also, if we get Xu Wenzhao's confession, who will we complain to? The prefect? The governor? "
At that time, this scene would appear.
Who are you? Why are you accusing me?!
Are you going to give this confession to the Monarch?
The Monarch will immediately think, what is Xu Anwu trying to do? Why are you so eager to overthrow the governor of your fief? Are you going against the government? Are you dissatisfied with me?
In the current environment, financial problems won't be able to bring down a prefect, or even a mayor.
Xu Wenzhao, the manager of the Count House, is obviously guilty of corruption, but he wants to kill him with the accusation of sexual misconduct.
What a great irony.
Lord Count sighed and gave up on the idea.
Xu Wenzhao's body was dragged out, almost pissing his pants.
"Lord Count, I have a big secret to tell you."
"Son-in-law Shen Lang, Grandpa Shen Lang, I still have money, I still have money …"
"Lord Shen Lang, someone wants to harm you. Tian Heng wants to harm you!"
A few hours later.
The Xu family's ancestral hall.
Xu Wenzhao was stripped clean, his thin and drooping body drifting in the wind.
And then …
In front of hundreds of people, he was beaten to death!
