Marquis Nanyang and Aunt Hua, who kept shouting injustice, were stunned.
The old Marquis and other guests were also stunned.
They had never been able to figure out why Zhao Chengwei wanted to go to war.
In the end, just for... this mere sentence?
The prince didn't understand either: "According to the laws of the Northern Qin State, if a servant who has signed a contract commits a crime, the master does have the responsibility and obligation to punish him. What Lord Shen said is not wrong."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. If it were just that, I would not dare to offend the Marquis."
Zhao Chengwei said solemnly: "But, does His Royal Highness know who this gangster is?"
The prince shook his head: "I don't know."
Zhao Chengwei said coldly: "He is the bandit leader of Hulang Mountain!"
"Is this true?" The prince's face suddenly turned cold and serious.
Many courtiers and guests also changed their faces: "Bandits on Hulang Mountain?"
"Is it the Tiger Wolf Mountain that has been entrenched on the outskirts of the capital for several years, robbing homes and killing people and caravans passing by?"
"I heard that His Majesty sent people to encircle and suppress them several times, but the bandits were particularly cunning. They took advantage of the terrain to escape many times, and they continued to kill them all!"
"Half a month ago, those bandits brutally killed a caravan. Not only did they steal the goods, they also cut off the heads of the people in the caravan and threw them on the official road! They scared several people crazy. They were simply provoking The court!"
"His Majesty was furious over this matter and ordered His Highness the Crown Prince to take full responsibility for eradicating Hulang Mountain within half a month!"
"If this bandit really comes from Hulang Mountain, and Lord Shen personally admits that he is a servant of his family..."
"Doesn't this mean that Nanyang Marquis Mansion is related to Hulang Mountain?" The guests gasped for a moment.
At this moment, they finally understood why Mr. Zhao suddenly changed his face.
Colluding secretly with the bandit den is a fatal crime!
The old Marquis was so angry that he was shaking all over. He grabbed the crutch and hit Nanyang Marquis on the head and face: "You treacherous son! What is going on? Please explain it clearly to me!"
Marquis Nanyang himself was dumbfounded by this truth.
Before she could react, her father's crutch hit her.
His hands and feet were shackled, making it difficult for him to hide. His father, who was always strong, hit him hard on the head. Blood was visible on the spot, and he screamed in pain!
"Dad, I was wronged! I didn't know about this at all!"
"You still dare to quibble?"
The old marquis stared hard and hit him with the crutch.
Every blow was done with so much strength that I wished I could beat the Marquis of Nanyang to death.
Although the Marquis of Nanyang holds the title of military commander, Shen Zhijiang himself is a civil servant. How can he withstand the death blow of the old Marquis?
Soon he was beaten to the point where he was screaming miserably, with blood covering half of his face. He looked miserable and pitiful.
"Your Highness, I was wronged... I was really wronged! Stop fighting..."
"I'll beat you to death, you traitor!"
"Master, Master..." Aunt Hua was shackled and crawling on the ground, crying and looking extremely miserable.
She wanted to kneel down and move over, but just after moving twice, she felt a cramping pain in her abdomen.
Aunt Hua clutched her belly and collapsed on the ground: "My belly, ouch..."
The hall was in complete chaos.
The prince and many guests were shocked.
Xiao Lingyue stood outside the chaos, watching all this with cold eyes, her expression indifferent.
She knew very well that the most shrewd and sophisticated person in the entire Nanyang Marquis Mansion was the old Marquis.
The old Marquis had a son like Shen Zhijiang, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be beaten to death. The reason why he behaved like this in anger and beating people was just a tactic.
Shen Zhijiang made a stupid mistake in a moment. If his biological father doesn't act cruelly, then it will be someone else's turn to act cruelly!
When the time comes, Shen Zhijiang will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
It would be better for him to take action himself and eliminate the relatives in a just and righteous way, so as to prove the innocence of the Hou Mansion in front of His Highness the Crown Prince and other guests.
This is the real old fox.
Comparing Shen Zhijiang with his father, they were far different.
Xiao Lingyue was thinking about it when she glanced out of the corner of her eye.
Not far away, His Highness King Yi was also watching with a cold eye, but it was not the chaotic screams in the hall that he was watching with a cold eye, but her.
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
What's going on with this man? He doesn't look at the excitement and stares at her sinisterly?
She'd better be more honest.
"Quickly stop the old Marquis, stop fighting!" The prince finally came to his senses and hurriedly ordered.
The guests rushed forward and stopped the old Marquis with all kinds of tricks, and even tried to persuade him: "Old Marquis, calm down!"
"The situation is still unclear. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
"Don't be angry, it will hurt your health..."
Another group of guests went to see Shen Zhiqiang's condition, with concern on their faces: "Master Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Zhijiang collapsed on the ground with his head covered in blood: "Ouch... Ouch..."
"Quickly bring gauze and bandage Mr. Shen!"
"Bring the wound medicine as well..."
In front of His Majesty the Crown Prince, the guests who originally just wanted to watch the show were willing to show off and helped out one after another.
The prince and others had nothing to do and could only stand aside and watch.
King Xiang secretly whispered to King Cheng: "I bet these people must be suppressing laughter in their hearts!"
King Cheng said speechlessly: "Just like you, second brother?"
Prince Xiang grinned happily: "Can you not laugh at this? It's such a big show!"
The key point is that the birthday banquet has been turned into such a mess, the prince must take the initiative, and there will be no time to focus on his marriage.
This is truly a blessing from God!
King Xiang, who was afraid that the world would be in chaos, wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha to make this matter as big a fuss as possible. It would be best if it made his father and the prince forget about urging the marriage, so that he could regain his freedom.
King Xiang had a beautiful thought, but it was a pity that extreme joy led to sorrow.
While the hall was in chaos, no one cared about guarding Shen Yuting and the two noble ladies.
Shen Yuting rushed towards Prince Xiang with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, did you come to see me specially? Please save my father and aunt!"
Prince Xiang: "Wait, don't come over!"
"Your Highness..." Shen Yuting pretended not to hear, and threw herself on Prince Xiang, hugging his arms tightly, with crystal tears falling down her soft face. I felt pity for him.
Prince Xiang couldn't help but relented: "Don't cry yet..."
"Your Highness, I'm scared!" Shen Yuting cried and got into his arms.
Prince Xiang hugged her subconsciously, and then realized that he wanted to chop off his own hand.
The two people here are fighting and getting entangled.
On the other side, many guests finally pulled the old Marquis away, helped Nanyang Marquis, whose head was covered with blood, to sit down, and simply bandaged the wound.
Seeing the miserable condition of Nanyang Marquis, the prince said helplessly: "Old Marquis, the matter has not been clarified yet, please calm down."
If you really want to beat someone to death, it will be difficult to deal with it.
The old Marquis panted heavily and suddenly knelt down in front of the prince with a plop, crying freely.
"Your Highness, the old minister did not teach his son well! The old minister is ashamed..." Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
