420 Chapter 420-getting into character

Lu Zheng’s words had already caused the commoners at the entrance to start discussing.

What kind of business did this Madam Cheng do with Gu shouxin?

Didn’t they say that he cheated in the county examination? why did he suddenly talk about business?

Could it be that they had spread it to the wrong person?

“aiyo, this, i know!” Mrs. Li heard the aunty next to her gossiping, so she asked big red to join in.

thus, in a short while, the surrounding commoners found out that the increasingly prosperous drunken river restaurant was opened by the county magistrate’s wife through big red.

In the past, drunken River restaurant’s business was not good. After they cooperated with the Gu family, the Gu family developed a new dish, and drunken River restaurant’s business was booming.

Also, the interior design of drunken River Restaurant was different from other restaurants. It was given by the wife of the candidate who was caught in the hall.

Da Hong and Zi even said that the skincare set was made by the Gu family. In the end, because they didn’t want to work with Madam Cheng, Madam Cheng hated the Gu family. When the Gu family went to visit on the fourth day of the new year, they directly threw the thing out.

The commoners were all stunned. Was he forcing them to cooperate? What kind of logic was this?

The common people chattered non-stop, and Gu shouxin’s mouth curled up. Well, this Madam li was smarter than Madam Cheng.

“Silence! Silence!” Lord Cheng slammed the gavel a few more times, his lungs about to explode from anger!

The Gu family was really bold to make up such a thing!

“My Lord! This commoner has something to say!” at this moment, mrs. li stood up and walked into the hall.

Lu Zheng stepped aside silently. With Madam li around, he could just keep his mouth shut.

“Who are you? What does it have to do with the cheating incident?” Lord Cheng frowned.

“oh, it’s me! My family’s sister-in-law and the magistrate are biological siblings. i can barely be considered a relative of the magistrate. Lord Yao has said that as long as this commoner doesn’t commit any crimes, this commoner can not kneel in court. He will support this commoner!” Mrs. Li raised her chin and looked like she was bullying someone.

“Preposterous! The law states,”

“Lord Cheng, no matter how ridiculous my relative who is the magistrate is, he can’t be more ridiculous than you! Don’t think that I didn’t hear it. People outside are saying that your family wanted to snatch the Gu family’s bathing suit recipe, but you failed. The Gu family refused to obey. You’re framing them! The imperial examination is a big deal, much bigger than the matter of money. You’re cutting off this student Gu’s path for the rest of his life! Isn’t that right, student Gu?” Madam li interrupted Cheng Daren’s words and looked at Gu shouxin.

“Thank you for speaking up for me, big sister!” Gu shouxin cupped his hands with an aggrieved face.

“Aiyo! Wasn’t this the logic! We all know how difficult it is to be a scholar, how can Lord Cheng be like this?” red said with a face full of pity.

“Isn’t that so! what witnesses and evidence? I didn’t hear any concrete evidence or witnesses just now. Maybe the Cheng family forged it to destroy the Gu family!” Da Zi said in grief and indignation.

cai xiaolian looked in surprise at the two famous people she had seen many times. they were so immersed in their roles. they acted very well as the aunt and young lady who stood up to help when they saw injustice!

“Nonsense! Ridiculous!” Lord Cheng was so angry that he hit the gavel a few more times. silence, silence!

“lord cheng is angry from embarrassment!”

“quickly shut up! Lord Cheng wants the constables to capture us commoners!”

“Dog officials are heartless, treating the people like dogs!”

“......”

In the crowd, a few rough men’s voices grew louder and louder. When Lord Cheng sent someone to take a look, he found that they were all women. The men were either young or old, and they couldn’t make such strong voices at all.
