8.5% History's Strongest Husband / Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Chapter 17

After a while, Count Xuanwu calmed down and said, "The Zhu family's marriage proposal is very secretive. Even I don't know about it. How did you know? Who did you hear it from? "

That's right. The gazes of everyone present turned towards Shen Lang. Given his lowly status, how could he know about such a secretive matter?

Shen Lang said, "The new fiancé of the Xu family's daughter, Zhang Jin!"

"Zhang Jin?" Count Xuanwu said, "The new leader of Xuanwu City's garrison?"

"Yes, that's him," Shen Lang said, "When I married into the Xu family, I was driven out by Xu Qianqian. Her new fiancé, Zhang Jin, said that he wanted to hold the wedding as soon as possible because the Zhu Clan wanted to propose to your family. Zhu Hongxue wanted to marry Miss Jin Mulan. At that time, he thought I was an idiot and let my guard down, so he let it slip. Afterwards, he also instructed Xu Qianqian not to leak it.

At this time, the Count House's confidant whispered something in the Count's ear. Obviously, he told Shen Lang's identity and background.

In Xuanwu City, Shen Lang was a celebrity.

At a time when no one dared to marry into the Xu Family, he, Shen Lang, stepped forward bravely, and his name rose to fame in the Black Warrior City.

Everyone knew that a fool became the son-in-law of the Xu family. All of Shen Lang's family's assets were dug out, including the fact that he studied for nearly ten years, but didn't even finish the basic course, and that his IQ was quite low, etc.

"Just two days ago, the Xu family announced that Shen Lang, the son-in-law, was expelled from the Xu family for stealing family property and molesting a maid," Count's confidant said. His voice was a little louder, presumably to deliberately let Shen Lang hear.

Hearing this, Count Xuanwu suddenly frowned.

Whether or not Shen Lang stole the Xu family's wealth and molested a maid of the Xu family, it was hard to say. Count didn't believe it.

However, Shen Lang had been studying for close to ten years, yet he hadn't even completed his elementary education in the town's school before he was chased home. It was safe to say that he was ignorant and incompetent.

Moreover, in everyone's opinion, the reason why Shen Lang was willing to marry into the Xu family was because of his vanity. Count hated young people who were lazy and greedy, so he didn't have a good impression of Shen Lang.

If it was at any other time, he would definitely teach Shen Lang a lesson. However, at this moment, he couldn't care about that anymore. Because what Shen Lang told him was too important, and it was directly related to the fate of the Count's Estate.

Moreover, he immediately judged that what Shen Lang said was basically true.

The Zhang family was a new noble family in the State of Yue, and their backer was the Zhu family.

Zhang Jin's father, Zhang Chong, had just been appointed as the governor of Nujiang prefecture, and it was all because of the recommendation of Zhu Jung, the governor of Tiannan province.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Zhang Jin knew the secret of the Zhu family.

Regarding Zhang Jin, Black Tortoise Count Jin Zhuo had a good understanding of him. Even the nobles in Black Tortoise City were a little surprised. How short of money was this Zhang Family? A dignified Prefecture Governor's son actually married a rich merchant's daughter. Moreover, this daughter had even taken in a son-in-law.

Jin Zhuo and Count could understand. The Zhang family rose too fast, and their foundation was not stable. If they wanted to continue to grow, they needed a lot of money. However, everyone's eyes were on the Zhang family, so they couldn't be greedy. So, it was very necessary to find a super-rich in-law.

Therefore, the marriage between the Zhang family and the Xu family was a typical combination of power and money.

"Immediately send a few teams to investigate the official roads. Once they find the people of the Zhu family, immediately come back and report." Count ordered, "Now, the most important thing is to know, where are the people of the Zhu family?"

"Yes!" A confidant ran out. He would personally take people to investigate the people of the Zhu family.

Then, Count said to Shen Lang, "Young man, I don't have a good impression of you. But, the matter you told me is very important, and you have made a great contribution. I will certainly reward you. Tell me what you want, as long as it doesn't violate the laws of the State, as long as it doesn't violate the moral standards, I will agree to it. "

Shen Lang's good impression of this Count suddenly increased again.

This was called being cool. The matter hadn't been verified yet, but he was already giving a reward.

The meaning of Count's words was very clear. No matter how much money or how much land Shen Lang wanted, he only needed to open his mouth and say a number. Moreover, no matter what trouble Shen Lang had, the Count was willing to solve it.

In other words, the crisis that the Xu family, the Lin family, and Tian Heng had against Shen Lang could be solved in an instant.

As long as the Count sent someone to pass a message, these three families would not dare to touch even a hair of Shen Lang.

However, what Shen Lang wanted was not just this.

Such an important chip was only used to solve this crisis. It was only used to deal with the Xu family and Tian Heng. It was too cheap.

He wanted to take the opportunity to stay in the Count House, and then find a way to get close to Jin Mulan. He wanted to keep showing off his existence, and finally marry the goddess.

Shen Lang swore that with his talent and handsome face, he would be able to leave a deep impression on the goddess in half a month.

"I want to stay in the Count House and ask for a job." Shen Lang bowed.

He didn't mention that the Xu family and Tian Heng wanted to kill him, because there was no need to mention it. As long as he stayed in the Count House and got a job, these two families naturally wouldn't dare to touch his family.

After the Count House heard this, they immediately frowned. They didn't have a good impression of Shen Lang before. Shen Lang was a lazy young man. Not only did he not study hard, but he also became the son-in-law of the Xu family. This was greed and vanity. It was a huge unfilial act.

Moreover, the Count House felt that Shen Lang wanted to stay in the Count House with bad intentions. In fact, the Count's eyes were very sharp.

However, since he said it, he would definitely agree.

Moreover, Shen Lang was still young. Even if he had any bad habits, he would be able to turn over a new leaf under the strict discipline of the Count House.

The Count said, "Since you want to get a job in the Count House, I can promise you. Also, you have done a great job in reporting the news, so I will never let you be a servant, but …"

The Count's tone became severe. "But, you definitely didn't come to my Count's mansion to enjoy a comfortable life. I won't let you be lazy either. Instead, I'll discipline you very strictly. Can you bear this hardship?"

Endure hardship?!

In that case, forget it. The thing that Shen Lang hated the most in his life was to endure hardships and fatigue.

But for the goddess, he could endure hardship for a few days. Of course, it would only be for a few days.

"Yes!" Of course, Shen Lang agreed.

Then, the Count stepped forward and pinched Shen Lang's shoulder. He shook his head and said, "Your physical fitness is too poor, and you are too old to practice martial arts. At this age, you should study hard to have a bright future. From now on, you will follow the prince to study. Your parents will spoil you, but the Count House will not. We will make sure to polish you well."

Shen Lang couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this the senior study companion in Tang Bo Hu?

"Well, your body is still injured. Go and rest first. Tomorrow, you will follow the prince to study. I will send someone to inform your parents and send them a sum of gold coins." The Count said, "If you have any trouble, I will also solve it."

Look, the big shots are always so generous.

"Yes, Master Count." Shen Lang said.

The Count's wife said, "Jin Zhong, go to the tailor and measure Shen Lang's body. Make some new clothes."

"Yes." The old servant said.

Shen Lang felt a burst of warmth in his heart. The Count and his wife were really good people.

"Master Count, Madam, Miss, I will take my leave first." Shen Lang bowed and then left.

However, before he could reach the door, a man rushed in. It was the Count's confidant. He had just led a group of people to the official road to find out where the Zhu family had gone. In less than a quarter of an hour, he came back in a hurry.

"Master, something bad has happened!" The confidant knelt down and said, "Our spies in Nujiang County City have just sent a messenger pigeon. A big shot of the Zhu Clan has arrived in Nujiang City last night, and he is heading towards our Black Tortoise Count's mansion!"

"What?" The Count exclaimed.

"What?" Shen Lang exclaimed in his heart.

That's going to kill me!

He had successfully carried out the first step, which was to stay in the Count House.

In the next few days, he would carry out the second step, which was to constantly show off his presence.

And then the third step, which was to find a way to marry into the Count House.

Yes, marry into the Count House.

Because the current situation was very simple. It was absolutely impossible for Jin Mulan to marry into the Count House.

However, the big shot from the Zhu family had already arrived in Nujiang County. Tonight, he would go to the Xuan Wu Mansion to ask for Jin Mulan's hand in marriage. In other words, there was no time.

There was not enough time to show off and show off his presence.

Damn, he didn't give me half a month, three days, or even one day!

In other words, Jin Mulan was going to get married today, which left Shen Lang with only two or three hours!

Otherwise, his goddess would belong to someone else, and his wealth would fly away.

No, the goddess is mine!
