TSBFL Chapter 121.2
Chapter 121.2: 趙夫人
[Madam Zhao]
Madam Zhao glanced back and faintly commanded, “You guys, wait outside, you guys will be able to see me and the Master anyways.”
“Yes.” That subordinate heard this and immediately withdrew his outstretched foot.
Mrs Zhao quickly came to stand beside Old Master Zhao and accompanied him as he stood there, then quietened down.
Master Zhao first glanced at his wife, then looked at those people she had brought with her from afar, and seemed to have gained a little more courage as he turned his head to look at the County Magistrate above him, and said in a loud voice:
“Your Excellency, as you have heard just now, these so-called fighters don’t know me at all, and to say that I hired people to attack them is simply nonsense. I suspect that they are simply trying to gain favors from me, and that is why they are framing me. I hope that Your Excellency will do me justice ah!”
As soon as Master Zhao’s words came out, the County Magistrate’s face became a little uglier, thinking that Master Zhao’s words were clearly accusing him of not being able to tell right from wrong and not being able to judge a case at all.
Lady Zhao also followed suit and loudly said, “My lord, our Master would never do such a scandalous thing (disgraceful affair), it must be someone else who is snooping on my family’s property, and that’s why he came up with this scheme to ask for favors! Your Excellency, can you probably not listen to their family’s words and falsely accuse a truly good person!”
As soon as her words fell, there was an uproar from the crowd in the distance, most of them confirming the truthfulness of Madam Zhao’s words, while a few of them were discussing whether or not the County Magistrate had taken favors (bribe) from other people and was therefore acting unfairly (handle matters unfairly).
Hearing the meaning behind Madam Zhao’s words, and listening to the louder and louder voices outside, the County Magistrate’s face became more and more ugly.
At this moment, Gu Lang, who had been standing by his side, stood out unhurriedly, walked up to that group and under their shocked eyes, faintly asked, “If you see the person who instructed you guys to beat up the people, can you guys recognise him?”
The gangsters looked at Gu Lang who approached them, and subconsciously took a step back, after hearing his words, they glanced at each other. He then nodded at him and affirmingly said, “Yes, absolutely can, our brothers’ eyes are sharp!”
The corner of Gu Lang’s mouth slowly hooked up into a smile, turning his head to look at the County Magistrate above him, and continued, “Your Honour, I have a witness, and I hope that Your Honour will allow me to invite him up.”
Upon hearing this, the County Magistrate agreed without hesitation, and his mood became even more pleasurable when he saw Zhao Lao Ye’s ugly face from the corner of his eyes.
Just as the County Magistrate saw, Zhao, who originally thought they were out of tricks and was secretly happy, had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard Gu Lang’s request. This bad feeling grew stronger when he realized that the expression on Gu Lang’s face had never changed.
With the County Magistrate’s approval, Gu Lang walked towards the crowd of people who were blocked outside the hall, gave a command to one of them, and after that person turned around and ran away, he returned to the hall, and at the same time, he showed a reassuring smile to Chen Xing who was looking at him with a worried face, indicating that he didn’t need to worry.
As Zhao Lao Ye watched the interaction between Gu Lang and Chen Xing, the dark light in his eyes deepened for a few more minutes, until another commotion came from outside, and a few people walked in from the separate streams of people.
Several people in the scene looked towards the direction in which the sound came at the same time.
After seeing the man tied up in the middle, Zhao Lao Ye’s heart thumped and he felt that what he had feared has finally come true.
