TSBFL Chapter 122.1
Chapter 122.1: 狡辯
[Sophistry]
The man was tied up with his hands and walked into the lobby in full view of everyone, with his annoyed face and several scars on it.
The moment he saw the man, Master Zhao became agitated, he stretched out his thin finger to point at the man with an unacceptable look in his eyes, “What are you guys doing?”
Gu Lang looked at the furious look on Master Zhao’s face and asked with a straight face, “Master Zhao, since you are so angry, don’t tell me that you know this man?”
The angry look on Master Zhao’s face stopped for a moment, and then as if he realized what was going on, an awkward look appeared on his face and he mumbled, “He…he’s a servant from my family, I’ve seen him a few times only.”
Gu Lang looked at Master Zhao’s uncomfortable expression and seemed to be a bit interested, “Oh, really? However, Master Zhao, I have heard that he is not only a servant of your residence, but also your trusted subordinate. He is the one who does whatever you tell him to do, is that true?”
As he listened to Gu Lang’s words and looked at his calm and seemingly strange expression, Master Zhao suddenly realized something. In order to make sure that things were perfectly safe, he had immediately transferred the steward who was looking for the men out after he realized that the fighters had disappeared, and was prepared to transfer the men back after things had calmed down.
Now, the person who should be thousands of miles away has even appeared in court, even in such an awkward posture. He suddenly seemed to realize something, and couldn’t help but feel his heart thumping, then he raised his eyes to meet Gu Lang’s cool and obvious gaze.
Zhao Lao Ye suddenly had a ridiculous thought in his heart, Gu Lang knew what he had done, and also knew who he had asked to do those things. He was only standing here to see he made a joke of himself.
After seeing Zhao Lao Ye stopped talking, Gu Lang didn’t seem to care, he signaled the two men who were holding the man to follow him, and under Zhao Lao Ye’s unbelievable gaze, he dragged the man to the distant crowd who were looking inside to see the fun, and asked aloud, “Everyone, do any of you know this man?”
Upon hearing his question, there was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, seemingly discussing how to answer Gu Lang’s words, and finally one of the skinny and bony men boldly raised his hand, and then pointed at the man and said loudly, “I know him, he’s Master Zhao’s side Steward Fei who usually works with Master Zhao.”
When he spoke, it was as if he had turned on a switch, and as if he had set aside the scruples of the others, the group of people opened their mouths one after another.
“That’s right, that’s him, he’s always been very fierce, make a show of his strength.”
“He’s a bully.”
“I can also testify that he usually follows Master Zhao and does whatever he’s told to do.”
Everyone was talking at once, and their voices were getting louder and louder because they were too agitated.
After listening to their words without expression, Gu Lang brought the man to the group of gangsters, looked at the suspicious gangsters, and questioned: “This person, do you know this man?”
The gangsters glanced at each other, and then carefully looked at the man who in difficult situation in front of them, and finally discussed for half a day, and finally the small leader among them stood out, and said towards Gu Lang: “GongZi, he is the one who gave us money to hurt you.”
As soon as his words came out, it seemed that Gu Lang didn’t need to ask any more questions, and he turned his head to look at the County Magistrate above him.
Receiving Gu Lang’s gaze, the County Magistrate slapped the wooden block in his hand with a ‘pa’ sound, turned his head to look down at the grim-faced Zhao Lao Ye, and said aloud, “Zhao Yuan, what else do you have to say at this point in time?”
Upon hearing the County magistrate’s questioning, however, Zhao Lao Ye turned his head and raised his eyes in his direction, as if making a salute towards him, before saying in a nonchalant manner:
“Of course I have something to say, he is just a steward under my hand, attacking Gu Lang is just his own initiative, what has it got to do with me? If the villain works under someone else for a month or two and that villain will be able to act on behalf of the master’s family, then there will be many more cases of injustice (wrongly sentenced cases) in this world.”
Zhao Lao Ye’s words sounded so reasonable that even the County Magistrate, who was the judge, could not find fault with them.
Chen Xing, however, is staring at Zhao Lao Ye, only one thought in his mind is that Zhao Lao Ye is much more powerful than the Chen Family. If Master Chen’s Family is here, his face probably has long changed. He can tell people to see the clues, but Zhao Lao Ye is perfectly fine standing there making excuses, without changing his face!
Chen Xing thought for a few seconds, then raised his hand, under people’s stunning gaze, he slowly retracted his hand and somewhat embarrassed as he said: “That…since the person was brought here, why don’t we ask him, whether someone instructed him or he wanted to do this? I am still a little bit curious about why in the end he hired people to hurt us?”
Hearing Chen Xing’s words, the County Magistrate’s face suddenly revealed a sudden realization, they just thought that it was Zhao Lao Ye who instructed the people under his command to do it, and then they was led astray by Zhao Lao Ye’s words, but now it seems to be that they should ask the person.
The County Magistrate looked sharply at the man gagging below and asked in a serious tone: “Why did you hire a murderer to hurt people? This official advises you to tell us everything. If there is half a lie, you should know the consequences!”
