Chapter 424
My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!
424 Meng Meng
When Cheng Rui came out and saw the brawny man in the middle, he was stunned. Wasnât this the mountain Bandit he had been looking for?
Lu Zheng was equally surprised. Wasnât this man his most capable subordinate in the Army, Meng Meng, in his previous life?
He had once saved this manâs life. After that, this man followed him to the battlefield and achieved great military achievements. When he died, Meng Meng was promoted to a Rank 2 General.
He was 16, and Meng Meng should be 20.
The 20-year-old Meng Meng was indeed in Qing Province, but he had never asked about Meng Mengâs past. He only knew that Meng Meng was a mountain Bandit who had been exterminated by the Imperial court. He was the only one who had escaped from the entire mountain stronghold.
âEldest young master Cheng! Whatâs the situation? Didnât you say that the Yamen was opened by your family? So what, the time we agreed on hasnât even arrived, and youâre already capturing me? This is a deliberate scam to catch me! Iâm telling you, Iâve been caught, and my brothers in the village will avenge me! Your Taoyuan Countyâs government office will be turned upside down by my brothers!â When Meng Meng saw Cheng Rui, he straightened his neck and said.
Lu Zheng came back to his senses and laughed in his heart. When Meng Meng was trying to scam someone, he liked to blame others for it.
Could it be that Meng Meng had been subdued by second uncle?
With this thought in mind, Lu Zheng looked at Gu shouxin.
Gu shouxin didnât know what was going on and had to pretend to be bullied, so he ignored Lu Zheng.
âWho are you and why are you spouting nonsense? Biting me?â Naturally, Cheng Rui would not admit it.
âAh PEI! You bastard! Fortunately, I was smart enough to leave evidence for you to write down. Although the matter didnât succeed, the handwriting is yours.â Meng Meng spat at Cheng Rui.
Then, he looked at the fat man sitting above and said, â âMy Lord, youâre not a relative of that dog official, are you? This commoner will believe you! Get someone to read the handwriting! This was definitely written by that son of a bitch, Cheng Rui. Hmph, you want to scam me? no way! Even if I go to hell, I want you and your family to accompany me!â
âSilence!â The fat man hit the gavel.
He might be smiling, but when he wasnât smiling, he was much more serious than Lord Cheng.
âMy surname is he, and I am the southwest inspector appointed by His Majesty to manage all the official matters in the southwest. Today, he learned that Taoyuan County was suspected of fraud in the scientific examination, so he came here. It turned out that the fraud was fake, and the officials were covering up for their relatives and bullying the people! Lord Cheng, do you know your crime?â Lord he directly convicted Lord Cheng.
âLord he, this official has been wronged! I also received a complaint from the candidate, so I ordered people to arrest the suspects, Gu shouxin and Zhou Yuan.â Lord Cheng argued.
âEverything requires evidence. May I ask where is your evidence, Lord Cheng?â Lord he asked with a frown.
Lord Cheng,âYingluo.â
Wasnât I just tricked by Gu shouxin?
âCheng Rui! You relied on the county magistrateâs son to forcefully take a commonerâs daughter as a concubine. You refused to comply, and you wanted to cook the rice, then you killed and set fire to it. Do you plead guilty to this matter?â Lord he looked at Cheng Rui again.
Cheng Rui knelt down and said,âI refuse to admit it! I have never had such thoughts. Please understand!â
Meng Meng spat on Cheng Rui. âAh PEI! Are you a man or not? arenât you just attracted by miss Guâs good looks and her ability to earn money? Youâre shameless, you dare to do but donât dare to admit it! If I were the son of the county Magistrate, I would use all I have and all the proper means to win lady Guâs favor! You shameless thing, you donât deserve to be a man! I donât even want to have the same title as you, Iâm a real man, Iâm the one whoâs called you!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSilence!â After scolding Meng Meng enough, Mr. He slammed the table and made Meng Meng shut up.
