Chapter 122 Sophistry
The man was tied behind his back, and walked into the lobby under the eyes of everyone, with a look of frustration on his face with a few scars.
The moment Mr. Zhao saw the man, he became excited. He pointed at the man with his thin fingers, his eyes full of unacceptable expressions, "What are you doing?"
Gu Lang looked at the distraught look on Master Zhao's face, and asked calmly, "Master Zhao, you are so angry, could it be that you know this person?"
The angry expression on Mr. Zhao's face stagnated for a moment, and then he seemed to realize something, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice: "He, he is a servant of my family, I have only seen him He's just a few faces."
Gu Lang looked at Master Zhao's uncomfortable expression, and seemed to be a little interested, "Oh, is that so? But Master Zhao, I heard that he is not only a servant of your family, but also your confidant. Is it true that he is the one who does what you tell him to do?"
Master Zhao listened to Gu Lang's words, looked at his calm expression that seemed a bit weird, and suddenly realized something.In order to ensure that everything was safe, after discovering that the thugs were missing, he immediately transferred out the steward who had been looking for them at the beginning, and planned to transfer them back after the matter subsided.
But now, the person who should have appeared thousands of miles away actually appeared in the lobby, even in such a embarrassed posture, he suddenly seemed to realize something, couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and then raised his eyes He looked at Gu Lang with a cold and understanding gaze.
Master Zhao suddenly had an absurd idea in his heart, Gu Lang knew what he did, and also knew who he asked to do those things, and he was standing here just to see his own jokes.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao stopped talking, Gu Lang didn't seem to care. He motioned for the two people holding the man to follow him, and under Mr. Zhao's incredulous gaze, he dragged the man to a distance where the crowd was looking inside. In front of him, he asked loudly: "Everyone, do any of you know this man?"
Hearing his question, there was a buzz of discussion in the crowd, as if they were discussing how to answer Gu Lang's words. Finally, one of the skinny men boldly raised his hand, and then pointed at the man. Loudly said: "I know him, he is the steward Fei next to Mr. Zhao, and he works by Mr. Zhao's side on weekdays."
As soon as his words came out of his mouth, it seemed as if he had turned on a switch, and as if he had let others put aside their scruples, the group of people opened their mouths one after another.
"Yes, it's him. He usually follows Mr. Zhao to show off his might."
"A bullying dog."
"I can also prove that he usually follows Master Zhao, and he will do whatever Master Zhao tells him to do."
Everyone talked in a hurry, and even because they were too emotional, their voices became louder and louder.
After listening to their words with a blank face, Gu Lang brought the man in front of the gangsters, looked at the suspicious gangsters, and asked, "Do you know this man?"
The gangsters looked at each other when they heard the words, and then carefully sized up the somewhat embarrassed man in front of them. They finally got together and discussed for a long time, and finally the little leader among them stood up and said to Gu Lang. : "Young master, he is the one who gave us the money to hurt you."
As soon as he said these words, Gu Lang didn't seem to need to ask any more questions, he turned his head to look at the magistrate above.
The county magistrate received Gu Lang's gaze, slapped the gavel in his hand, and made a 'pop' sound, turned his head to look at Mr. Zhao with a gloomy face below, and said loudly: "Zhao Yuan, until now, you still don't know what to do?" What can I say?"
Hearing the county magistrate's questioning, Mr. Zhao turned his head in a calm manner, raised his eyes to look in his direction, as if bowing to him, and then said in a calm manner:
"Of course Zhao has something to say. He is just a manager under my command. Attacking Gu Lang is just his own idea. What does it have to do with me? If that villain can act on behalf of his master's will, then there will be many more unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in this world."
Mr. Zhao's remarks were reasonable, even the county magistrate who was the judge could not find anything wrong.
Chen Xing stared at Mr. Zhao, but there was only one thought in his mind, which was that Mr. Zhao was much stronger than Mr. Chen's family. If Mr. Chen's family were here, there might have been a change in his appearance, which could be noticed by others. He got a clue, but Mr. Zhao stood there decently, using these words to quibble without changing his expression.
Chen Xing thought for a few seconds before raising his hand, then slowly withdrew his hand under the astonished gazes of everyone, and said with a somewhat embarrassing expression: "Well, since the man has already brought it, why don't we ask him I, whether someone instructed him, or he wanted to do it himself, I am still a little curious, why did he hire murderers to hurt us. "
Hearing Chen Xing's words, the county magistrate suddenly had a look of enlightenment on his face. They just believed that Mr. Zhao ordered his subordinates to do it, and then they were misled by Mr. Zhao's words. It's time to ask him who he is.
The magistrate looked sharply at the gagged man below, and asked in a serious tone: "Why did you hire a murderer to hurt people? I advise you to tell the truth. If there is a half-truth, you should know it." Consequences!"
The man squeaked and nodded, and the officer immediately removed the cloth stuffed in his mouth.
The man named Fei Xing first glanced secretly at his boss, Mr. Zhao, and saw that he was staring at him with dark eyes, and even Mrs. Zhao next to him was staring at him coldly, so he couldn't help but shudder. .
Reminiscent of Master Zhao's usual way of doing things, Fei Xing knew that he must not be the one who betrayed them, but when he opened his mouth to admit that it was his own initiative to hire murderers to hurt others, another voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Fei Xing, Manager Fei, I hope you can tell the truth. Hiring a murderer to injure someone is a felony, but deceiving the official for others is an added crime. You should think about it clearly."
Fei Xing looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a thin man standing there desertedly, those eyes that seemed to see through everything stared at him directly, and there was even a bit of sarcasm in it. look.He is obviously a poor and settled household who doesn't seem to pose any threat, but for some reason it puts him under tremendous pressure now.
Fei Xing suddenly remembered how he appeared here. Master Zhao asked him to leave here for a while for safety's sake after knowing that the gangsters who attacked Gu Lang had disappeared.
When Fei Xing was leisurely riding out of the city in a carriage with the settling fee given by Mr. Zhao, he was suddenly caught by a group of men in black who appeared from nowhere. Hurting people directly confirmed that he was responsible for hiring those gangsters.
Fei Xing looked at Gu Lang's eyes without any emotion, and suddenly trembled all over his body.He felt that Gu Lang probably knew everything, but he never said anything, he just watched them perform here like a buffoon, until they reached the climax of their performance, and gave them a heavy blow.
Fei Xing felt that the white hairs all over his body were about to stand on end. He felt that if he took the blame for Mr. Zhao, his result might be worse than betraying Mr. Zhao.
"Bold!"
Suddenly there was a scolding sound in his ear, Fei Xing turned his head and saw the magistrate looking at him with an angry face.
"Above the lobby, you dare to openly lose your mind. Do you still pay attention to this official? This official advises you to tell the whole story, otherwise don't blame this official for serving me!"
Fei Xing trembled again, and then under the expectant eyes of everyone, he opened his mouth tremblingly, "I will recruit, I will recruit all adults. I am looking for these gangsters, and I also asked them to attack Gu Lang , but these are all instigated by the master. He also gave me a large sum of money and told me to finish this matter."
Even though Fei Xing was trembling, his voice was clear enough for everyone present in the empty hall.
Master Zhao, who was originally full of ambition and thought he would get away soon, was stunned the moment Fei Xing finished speaking.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't suppress the rage in her heart, pointing at the god Fei Xing and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? My master has never treated you badly, and you want to join forces with outsiders to frame him.
If your family is in trouble, just tell me, Master Nian will definitely help you in terms of years of friendship, why do you use such low-handed means to turn black and white and seek that ill-gotten gain, what good will it do you ? "
Mrs. Zhao put all the blame on Fei Xing, and incidentally framed Gu Lang and him as accomplices.
Fei Xing looked at Mrs. Zhao who was full of anger, and then looked suspiciously at the magistrate of Shangxian County. At this moment, he felt that he couldn't argue.
"No, I'm not, what I said is true, what I said is true!"
While Fei Xing was defending himself, Mr. Zhao also reacted quickly. He turned his head to look at the magistrate above, and said righteously: "My lord, I, Mr. Zhao, have never done the things he said. These are all the words he framed me. My lord, you must distinguish right from wrong and give me justice!"
Mr. Zhao speaks with certainty, and what he says is righteous and awe-inspiring.
The crowd watching in the distance also began to discuss, and the expression on their faces changed from watching the show to sympathy. After all, whoever encounters such a subordinate will feel a headache.
The magistrate of the county listened to those not-so-little discussions, and faced the eyes of those watching the excitement, he felt a headache seeing the two parties below insisting on their opinions. He turned his head and wanted to discuss with the master next to him what to do next. Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
That laughter was particularly abrupt in this scorched lobby, which abruptly set off a bit of weirdness.
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see that the owner of the voice was today's sufferer, Gu Lang, who had always been considered a poor and settled family, and who had just recently proved himself to be a master.
Seeing that Gu Lang covered his face and laughed out loud as if he had heard some funny joke, then he stopped in the eyes of everyone, slowly restrained the smile on his face, looked at Master Zhao slowly Slowly said:
"Zhao Yuan, you are really eloquent as always, even the wife you married is so eloquent. You really think that there is no personal or physical evidence to convict you of the things you did back then. Did you make it up?"
