TSBFL Chapter 107
Chapter 107.1: 地契
[Land Deed]
Old Master Chen, angry and horrified at the same time, looked at Gu Lang, the tone of his voice even brought a few points of timidity that he himself did not notice, “You still want to say something? Have you not done enough, all of these?”
Gu Lang gave him a faint look, and then turned his gaze to the County Magistrate who was just about to leave, and then sat down again after hearing Gu Lang’s words.
When the county magistrate received Gu Lang’s gaze, he was a little hesitant at first, and then, not knowing what came to his mind, he nodded his head gently, “If you still have something to say, there’s no harm in saying it.”
Gu Lang made a salute to the county magistrate above him, and then slowly opened his mouth under the gaze of everyone, “As you all know, my family suffered a great disaster, and as the only survivor of my family, I was lucky enough to survive from it.”
Originally, because Gu Lang ignored him so he became a bit angry, Chen Lao Ye heard Gu Lang lightly mention his family’s tragedy, he didn’t know why he suddenly had a feeling of panic, and had a vague feeling that it wasn’t a good premonition.
“After that disaster, I fled this place in order to stay alive. I believe that the wealth and honor of the Gu family is evident to all the elders here.”
Gu Lang’s clear voice rang out in the hall, and the people listening on the side couldn’t help but nod along, affirming his words. There were even older people who revealed a sigh of regret and said,
“That’s right, back in the day, the Gu family was one of the richest families here, almost one-third of the shops on the biggest street in this town were under his family’s banner. Such a pity.”
Unfortunately, there is no further information, but Gu Lang’s speech continues.
“When I was lucky enough to come back as an adult, I found that not only had my previous house been reduced to ruins, but even the shops that hadn’t suffered in the first place had also been completely divided up.”
When Gu Lang said these words, his eyes seemingly looked towards Chen Lao Ye, only to see that the originally arrogant Chen Lao Ye’s eyes were a bit evasive at the moment, looking around but not looking in his direction.
“Today, I only want to ask the county magistrate to be the judge, to get back the things that belong to my family.” Gu Lang’s tone was plain, but the meaning he expressed was particularly firm.
The County Magistrate listened to Gu Lang’s words and pondered for a while, then he looked at him and asked with some doubt, “In that case, what does it have to do with Master Chen?”
Gu Lang hooked his lips, turned his head to look at Master Chen over there, and said in a faint voice: “Naturally, it has something to do with Chen Lao Ye, after all, Chen Lao Ye took advantage of the fact that my family was in decline, and that there was no one to take over my shops so he took over some of my family’s shops.”
“Utter rubbish!!” Hearing this from Gu Lang, Master Chen who had been silent all along, finally couldn’t help but curse out, “Why are you talking nonsense here?”
After scolding Gu Lang, Elder Chen immediately turned his head to look at the County Magistrate who was staring at them from above, and said in an anxious tone, “County Magistrate, don’t listen to his lies, he is just talking nonsense.”
Gu Lang looked at the anxious Chen Lao Ye. He did not have any reaction to his rebuttal, after he finished those words, then he looked at him and indifferently said, “Chen Lao Ye, since you think I am telling lies, why are you in such panic?”
Chen Lao Ye looked at Gu Lang’s cold eyes. He didn’t know why he suddenly felt a little bit guilty, and then began to panic. He shouted: “I am very busy, I don’t have time to continue to talk with you here, I want to go back.”
Gu Lang looked at Master Chen who was about to go out, and said unhurriedly, “Master Chen, there are a few people who want to see you, I think it’s better if you wait for them to come over here before you leave.”
After saying that, Gu Lang looked at the County Magistrate above him.
The County Magistrate received Gu Lang’s line of sight, and he waved his hand to signal for the officials below to block Master Chen’s way.
“Since this case has already been accepted by this official, then naturally I have to judge the case, please stay on your feet, Master Chen. When the matter is explained clearly, you can leave again and it’s not too late.”
Chen Lao Ye looked at the officials who surrounded him, the bad feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. Listening to the words of the county magistrate, he knew that he could not leave now, so he stood there with a face of anger, just waiting to see what Gu Lang would do next.
Seeing Chen Lao Ye with a face that wanted to leave but could not, a look of a trapped beast in a desperate situation, Gu Lang gently hooked his lips, and then looked up to the County Magistrate “Your Excellency, the ones I mentioned are outside right now. Can we let them come in now?”
Master Chen nodded his head upon hearing this, “Let them come in ba!”
Immediately, in Chen Lao Ye’s nervous sight, three plainly dressed men who looked a bit downtrodden walked in, and one of them, a man of about fifty years old, came in, who is still dragging one of his limping leg.
The moment they entered, Chen Lao Ye’s face became unusually ugly.
