Chapter 22: Chapter 22
"Since the Count House wants them, of course, I dare not stop them. I will go and report to the Governor." Tian Xianzhi said.
Jin Zhong was expressionless, but he still politely said: "Thank you."
"Come, carry Master Shen, Madam Shen, and Second Young Master Shen to the palanquin." Jin Zhong ordered.
Then, more than a dozen warriors came out from behind him, but they didn't carry knives. Instead, they were carrying stretchers.
The Count Lord was very unhappy with Shen Lang, but he respected Shen Lang's parents very much. Everything was ordered by him.
More than a dozen warriors from the Count House carefully carried Shen Lang's parents to the stretchers, and then put them into the huge palanquin.
The palanquin was so big that people could lie on it.
Then, six warriors carried the three palanquins as if they were walking on flat ground. Their hands were as light as a feather, and they left without saying a word.
"Goodbye." Jin Zhong said.
"Take care." Tian Xianzhi bowed to send them off.
From the beginning to the end, Jin Zhong didn't say anything to threaten them. This was because Tian Xianzhi's arrest procedures were completely legal. There was even an arrest warrant from the Governor's office.
Shen Lang's father did open up the barren mountain, and he didn't pay any taxes.
But there were countless farmers in Xuanwu, and the Governor's office didn't pursue the matter. As the saying goes, if the officials don't report, the people won't investigate.
Moreover, Jin Zhong only had the responsibility to protect Shen Lang's family. The Count Lord didn't have any other orders.
…
After Jin Zhong and the warriors from the Count House left, Tian Xianzhi staggered.
A warrior next to him came forward and said: "Thirteenth master, what happened? If we let this family go, I'm afraid the Gang Leader will be furious. "
Tian Xianzhi said: "Do you know who those people are?"
The warrior from the Black Cloth Gang shook his head, "I don't know."
"Xuan Wu Mansion's Jin Zhong, Lord Count's trusted aide." Tian Xianzhi said.
Instantly, the faces of the surrounding warriors changed.
"Which member of the Count House did Shen Lang hook up with?" the warrior asked.
Tian Xianzhi said, "Let's pray that Shen Lang doesn't have a deep relationship with the Count House. It would be best if he hooked up with the servant of the Count House and used a chicken feather as a token of authority. Otherwise … "
"Or else what? Thirteenth Master … "the warrior said uneasily.
Tian Xianzhi said, "Otherwise, everyone should go home and bid farewell to their parents, wives, and children."
"Will we be caught?" the warrior asked.
"You will die!" Tian Xianzhi said.
His mind couldn't help but think of the short time he spent with Shen Lang. His beautiful face was always calm and even full of smiles.
But now, from Tian Xianzhi's point of view, this smile was full of danger.
"Let's go back and report to Godfather. If something big happens, we need to prepare a way out. We are helping those people. They can't just leave us to die!" Tian Xianzhi said.
Then, without saying a word, he jumped on the horse and ran towards the Black Cloth Gang.
If he wanted to save himself, he had to be fast. Otherwise, if Shen Lang really hooked up with the Count House, it would be too late by the time he made a move.
Shen Lang was a very sinister person. He had only been in contact with him for a day, but he could already feel it.
Tian Xianzhi was not stingy at all and galloped crazily. In less than an hour, he arrived at the Black Cloth Gang.
…
The Black Cloth Gang was not in Xuanwu City. Instead, there was a small fortress about 20 miles away from the city.
Of course, this fortress was hung with the Thousand Households Barracks of Xuanwu City. There were a few hundred people inside.
Because of the new policies, local officials were desperately trying to rope in all forces to fight against the traditional aristocratic forces. Therefore, a gang like Tian Heng openly hung the banner of the local military barracks.
Tian Xianzhi quickly rushed into the fortress.
If it was in the past, he would definitely chat with his brothers in the fortress. Tian Heng had many godsons under his command. It was not easy to stand out and gain the most power. Not only did he have to please his godfather, but he also had to buy people's hearts.
But now, Tian Xianzhi did not care about this. He quickly rushed into the fortress. He did not even report and directly rushed into the room of his godfather, Tian Heng.
At this moment, he happened to see Gang Leader Tian Heng having an affair with a beautiful woman. The woman was kneeling under the table, and he saw a white patch under her skirt.
Tian Heng instinctively grabbed a cup and was about to throw it at him. When he saw that it was his thirteenth godson, he immediately stopped and said coldly, "If there is no sufficient reason, I will dig out one of your eyes."
Tian Xianzhi immediately knelt down and said, "Godfather, please forgive me. I failed in my task and failed to eliminate Shen Lang's entire family."
Tian Heng's gaze turned cold. His godson, whom he thought highly of, couldn't even handle such a small matter? He had even accepted the money. It was a total of 1,500 gold coins.
Tian Xianzhi said, "Count House's Jin Zhong brought more than ten warriors to pick up Shen Lang's parents and younger brother. They said that they were going to attend the Count House's wedding. They were carried away in three large palanquins."
Immediately, Tian Heng stood up, and his expression changed drastically!
The woman was serving Tian Heng. When he stood up suddenly, his teeth were scraped, and he twitched in pain. Then, he kicked her.
"Ah …" The woman screamed miserably, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She said miserably, "Master."
"Get out!" Tian Heng roared.
Immediately, the woman scrambled out of the room.
Men were all pig trotters. Usually, when they were good, they would call them sweethearts, but now, they would just kick them away and ask them to get out.
Tian Xianzhi said, "Godfather, who in the Count House is getting married? Is the Crown Prince taking a concubine? Don't tell me that Shen Lang has a relationship with the Crown Prince? I heard that the Crown Prince is also a good-for-nothing. Two good-for-nothings are birds of a feather. "
Tian Heng said, "Do you think that Shen Lang is a good-for-nothing?"
Tian Xianzhi thought about it, and then shook his head decisively.
Tian Heng said, "The wedding at the Xuan Wu Mansion is not about the Crown Prince taking a concubine, but the selection of a son-in-law!"
As soon as this was said, Tian Xianzhi's expression changed dramatically. He shook his head and said, "No way. It's absolutely impossible."
Tian Heng said, "I also think it's impossible."
Tian Xianzhi said, "What kind of person is Shen Lang? He's a poor boy from the countryside. He's not even as good as a weed. What kind of person is Miss Jin? Her martial arts, the art of war, appearance, and figure are all top-notch. She's the daughter of a century-old noble family. Even if Shen Lang's ancestors had accumulated eight generations of virtue, they still wouldn't be worthy of even half a finger of Miss Jin Mulan. Even a wealthy merchant family like the Xu family doesn't fancy Shen Lang, let alone the high and mighty Xuan Wu Mansion. "
Tian Heng also nodded. Even the most imaginative person would not connect Shen Lang and Miss Jin Mulan together. The two were really different. Even if the sun rose in the west, the two would not have the slightest relationship.
However, the fact that the Count House's Jin Zhong went to pick up Shen Lang's family to attend the wedding was really strange.
Tian Heng got up and paced back and forth. There was a little uneasiness in his eyes.
"I'll go to the city. This matter needs to be prepared for a rainy day." Tian Heng said.
…
More than half an hour later!
Xu, Lin, and Tian Heng, the three small tycoons of Xanwu City, gathered in a secret room.
After hearing Tian Heng's words, the two tycoons said in unison, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
This was especially true for Clan Head Xu.
Tian Heng said, "Yesterday, not long after Shen Lang left the Splendid Court, he was hit by the Count House's cavalry and was taken to the Count House. Today, there was news of the Count House's wedding. Moreover, Jin Zhong personally brought people to pick up Shen Lang's parents and younger brother to the Count House to attend the ceremony. "
Xu Guangyun said, "It's possible that the useless Shen Lang is currying favor with the Count House's heir. After all, both of them are useless. But how powerful is Miss Jin Mulan? Why would she look up to Shen Lang? Moreover, I just kicked Shen Lang out of the house. Even a village widow may not be willing to marry a son-in-law who has been kicked out, let alone the daughter of a century-old noble family. "
The boss of the Splendid Court, Lin Mo, said, "Brother Xu, this Shen Lang may not be useless. If he is really useless, I'm afraid he can't think of a new golden dye formula."
Xu Guangyun said, "Brother Lin, you're really wrong. This new dye formula, first of all, is luck. Second, it really needs that kind of stupid person to invent it."
Lin Mo thought about it. It was true. But from the short conversation yesterday, Shen Lang did not seem like a fool.
Xu Guangyun said, "The most important thing is that when I kicked out that useless Shen Lang, he was framed for theft and molestation. Such a notorious person, does the Count House not want to lose face?"
When these words came out, the three people were indeed relieved.
In Xuanwu, many people could be shameless, but only the Xuan Wu Mansion cherished their reputation and face the most.
Tian Heng said, "Xu, Lord Count suddenly sent out wedding invitations today. Did he say who the bridegroom is?"
Xu Guangyun shook his head and said, "No! But it can't be Shen Lang. Even if the sun rises from the west, it can't be him. "
Lin Mo said, "Even if it's not Shen Lang, it's better to make it clear. How about we send one of our people to attend the wedding of the Count House tonight?"
Suddenly, the three people looked at each other, because no one present had received an invitation from the Count House.
Xuan Wu Mansion sent out a lot of invitations, such as military officers, official officials, famous scholars, local celebrities and so on in Xuanwu.
Although the three people present were powerful, two of them were businessmen, and one was a mafia leader.
Tian Heng suddenly said, "I'm going to attend the wedding."
Of course, Count Xuanwu wouldn't be so harsh if they didn't get an invitation to attend the wedding of the Count House. But it still required courage.
Lin Mo said, "Thank you, Chief Tian. As for the gift, let me handle it."
Xu Guangyun said, "After all, Count Xuanwu is the owner of Xuanwu City. Even if we don't attend the wedding, we still need to prepare a generous gift. My Xu family doesn't lack money."
Tian Heng said, "Then it's settled. You two prepare the gift as soon as possible. I'll immediately set off to the Count House."
Splendid Court Lin Mo said, "Then I'll go prepare it."
Then, he went into the warehouse to pick out rare things. His mind kept recalling every scene of him and Shen Lang. It was fine if he didn't recall it, but when he recalled it, he felt cold.
Not only did he betray Shen Lang, but he also said a lot of decisive words.
For example, an ant like Shen Lang didn't know his own limits. If he didn't die, who would?
If God didn't open his eyes and really let Shen Lang become the son-in-law of the Count House, then … then it would be really terrible.
He could only pray to God that it wouldn't come true.
However, if one were to use their brains to think about it, such a thing would definitely not happen. How could the dignified Black Tortoise Count Manor possibly take in a lowly person like Shen Lang as their son-in-law? Moreover, he had just been expelled by a merchant family like the Xu Family.
He was definitely scaring himself!
Just more than half an hour later, the three forces prepared three carriages of gifts.
Tian Heng took a carriage to the Count House. He was thick-skinned to attend Jin Mulan's wedding tonight without an invitation.
Please don't let it be Shen Lang. Please don't let it be Shen Lang!
At the same time, Shen Lang's ex-wife went to the Count House to attend the wedding openly. Because her fiancé, Zhang Jin, was the son of the prefectural governor and also the garrison general of Xuanwu.
Xu Qianqian said, "Zhang Lang, the Count House is so mysterious. Who do you think will be the groom tonight? Which son of a powerful family or a great talent can marry Jin Mulan? "
