The moment the knife was swung at Chu Quan, he was worthy of being a newly minted martial artist. He quickly reacted and blocked it with the chain in his hand. This prevented him from being hacked to death by the Huating County Lord, but the Huating County Lord went crazy.
Same, he continued to chase him with a knife, scaring him so much that he ran and screamed for help.
Originally no one dared to stop him, and Chu Ling would not help his enemy at this time, but Chu Yan looked at Chu Shun who was kneeling in front of him and begging, and after a slight hesitation, he stepped forward and stopped the Huating County Lord, "You
A dignified princess of a country, do you want to know the law and break the law?"
The head of Huating County looked at Chu Yan in disbelief, and laughed out loud in anger, "Are you mentally ill? The person lying on the bed now with his life or death uncertain is your son, and you actually want to protect the murderer who framed him?"
Chu Ling also looked at his father coldly, his eyes full of disappointment.
Chu Yan tightly grasped Huating County Lord's wrist and said helplessly: "Whoever hurt Xiu'er, I will not let him go easily, but the matter has not been found out yet. If you use lynching rashly like this, others will
They say our Chu family is lawless."
Seeing that what he said was still human, the head of Huating County finally calmed down, threw the knife in his hand on the ground, and sneered: "Okay, I will let him die with conviction."
As she said that, she walked straight towards Chu Ling without even looking at Chu Yan, "Are all the witnesses and material evidence here?"
Chu Ling nodded quickly, "The witnesses and material evidence are complete, and the boy has informed the Liuzhou prefect that he will personally escort the prisoner to justice."
Hearing him directly calling Chu Quan a prisoner, Xue Jinxiu rushed over from the side. Just when everyone thought she was going to act up again, she and Chu Shun actually knelt down to Chu Yan, "No, this is a household matter, nothing."
The trouble must be as serious as the Yamen! Brother, I beg you, can you go and tell A Ling and the county leader that our housework is at home?"
Her sudden lowering of her head stunned everyone present.
The daughter of the dignified Zhenbei General's Mansion, as arrogant as she usually is, is now in such a state of embarrassment.
Chu Quan is her only son, and taking Chu Quan away would be equivalent to killing her. This is indeed a difficult matter.
Chu Yan just said that he would not let the murderer go easily, but at this moment when Xue Jinxiu begged him, his expression was a little hesitant. He couldn't help but reached out to help Xue Jinxiu up, and comforted him: "Brother and sister, don't do this, wait until the Yamen investigates the matter.
It’s clear that if Quan’er really didn’t do it, no one can unjustly accuse him.”
Saying this is the same as not saying it. If it really wasn't Chu Quan who did it, why would the second wife bow their heads and beg for mercy?
Xue Jinxiu was extremely disappointed. She turned around and saw the old lady standing in the distance. Her eyes lit up again. She stumbled over and ran over. She knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed, "Mother, Ah Shun is also your son.
Ah Quan is his only legitimate son, you can't just watch him die!"
The old lady was already in a terrible mood, and she almost fainted when she knelt down like this.
Even after reaching this point, Xue Jinxiu still wanted to protect her son. By doing so, she was not helping Chu Quan, but harming him!
Chu Shun was much calmer than Xue Jinxiu. When he saw that Chu Yan had not let go, his eyes suddenly fell on the knife that Huating County Lord had just thrown on the ground. He suddenly stepped forward to pick it up and pointed it at his neck. "The son does not teach the father."
However, since you all think that Quan'er should pay for Ah Xiu's life, then let me, the father, pay for it on his behalf!"
"Ashun, what are you doing?!" Chu Yan was startled and rushed forward to snatch his knife away.
But Chu Shun was well prepared. Not only did he not let him succeed, he also shouted to stop his movement, "Don't come over here!"
Chu Yan paused and looked at the knife in his hand nervously, "Ashun, we are brothers, what can't we talk about?"
Chu Shun looked at him, started to cry as he looked at it, and knelt down to him again, "Brother, you also said that we are brothers, so can you please spare my son for my sake?"
?Ah Quan is my only legitimate son, I can’t let anything happen to him!”
Chu Yan fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Xue Jinxiu quickly got up from the ground, ran to Chu Quan, dragged him and knelt down towards Chu Yan, "Quan'er, come and beg you uncle, you are his nephew, he won't
I can't bear to watch you die in vain."
Chu Quan knelt down obediently and kept kowtowing to Chu Yan, "Uncle, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Although she knew that their family was taking turns acting, the old lady still couldn't bear to see this situation. She took a few steps forward and said to Chu Yan: "Family scandals must not be made public..." She pointed at Chu Quan and scolded Chu Quan.
: "Why ruin the reputation of our Chu family for this bastard?"
Chu Yan was already a little shaken, but after being persuaded by the old lady, he couldn't help but look at Chu Ling and the head of Huating County.
Seeing the two of them staring at him coldly, he knew it was impossible. It was simply harder for the two of them to forgive a murderer who framed Chu Xiu than to kill him!
Chu Yan sighed, simply raised his sleeves to cover his eyes and hid aside, "It's useless for you to force me. I can't see or hear anything. I have no right to take care of things here."
Everyone:......
Seeing that he was about to convince Chu Yan, but the other party still chose to back down, Chu Shun hesitated and clenched the handle of the knife, "Okay, since you insist on forcing me to death, then I will die in front of you, so that others will not say anything about me.
Chu Shun can’t even protect his own son!”
As he said that, he really wanted to slash the blade to his own neck.
Chu Ling had been watching his movements with cold eyes. The moment he turned the handle of the knife in his hand, he quickly kicked up the stones under his feet and hit his wrist!
Chu Shun was hit by a stone, and the scimitar in his hand dropped instantly, and was picked up by the officers and soldiers on the side. He completely lost his bargaining chip to threaten others.
He collapsed on the ground and looked at Chu Quan with some despair, as if to say, "Son, dad really tried his best."
Chu Ling looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly: "Second uncle, why are you doing this?"
Although he couldn't bear to see Chu Shun protecting Chu Quan, his courage to risk everything for his son really made him admire him.
In contrast, Chu Yan knew how much Chu Xiu had been hurt, but he still hid aside like an ostrich and refused to stand up and uphold justice for him.
He is also a father, but Chu Yan has obviously fallen behind.
The Lord of Huating County was watching this farce with cold eyes. He seemed to have lost his patience and said indifferently: "Are you done with the trouble? The yamen will decide what is right and wrong. It is not your turn to play the emotional card here. Even if you are here today,
If you are really killed here, I must give you justice!"
As she said that, she looked at the officers and soldiers who had been in a daze from beginning to end, and said sternly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you quickly arrest the prisoner and take him to the Yamen to await trial?!"
