"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Didn't you see it? At the gate of the outer city, there were several beggars who were ordered to be killed by the Nine Kings for three days, and..."
Snap! Snap!
The whip was thrown over the crowd with a loud sound. Nan Zhu had an angry face, pointed at the people who were talking about it and shouted:
"Fuck you, my master is innocent. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful I'll slap you all over the floor."
"Get out of here, get out of here."
When the crowd of onlookers saw Nan Zhu's tigress-like posture and the whip in her hand, they were so frightened that they all shut up and took a few steps back.
The Duke's wife also looked livid, and was so angry that she couldn't stop shaking all over. With the support of Aunt Xu, she walked down the steps in two or three steps, staring at the old woman.
"You and I come from the same family, but I didn't expect my eldest sister to have such a vicious mind. I can tolerate how you scold me, but you actually use such filthy words to humiliate my daughter's innocence. You are simply in vain."
Aunt Xu also let out a fierce sigh.
"Thanks to my mistress for helping you like that in the first place, I didn't expect that in the end you would end up like a white-eyed wolf and an ungrateful beast."
That's right, the old woman who was subdued by Nanzhu was none other than Mrs. Sun of the Vice Minister's Mansion, the mother of the deceased Sun Ting, the eldest sister of the Duke's wife Liu Youning, and the cheap aunt of Luo Jiuli.
"Hahaha."
Mrs. Sun, who was pinned to the ground, laughed maniacally and gritted her teeth.
"Help, bah, when have you ever helped me since my parents died? You were just relying on the honor of the Duke's wife to show off in front of me and show off your power with me."
"And Luo Jiuli, you are a shameless little goblin with thousands of people riding on ten thousand people. After seducing King Zhao, you seduced the Nine Kings."
"If it hadn't been for you, if it hadn't been for the Nine Kings' obstruction, my palace would have been completely defeated, and my husband would have been imprisoned."
"My only son died in your hands, little bitch, you killed my son."
Luo Jiuli stood on the steps, quietly listening to Mrs. Sun's curses, a hint of murderous intent flashed through his narrowed eyes, and his whole body exuded a terrifying coldness.
"You said I killed your son?"
She walked down the steps without any emotion or anger, her tone was slow and her voice was light.
Behind her, Nan Xing followed her closely.
"Nan Zhu, let her stand up."
"yes."
Nan Zhu held Mrs. Sun's back collar and roughly lifted her up like a chicken.
As Mrs. Sun stood up, Luo Jiuli raised her palm.
Snapped!
"This first slap is for my mother. You are ungrateful, repaying kindness with evil, and are unkind."
Snapped!
"This second slap is for my grandparents and my grandparents. You don't respect family ethics, are unreasonable and unjust."
Snapped!
"This third slap was slapped on you by myself. You were spouting shit, distorting the facts, confusing right and wrong, and slandering my reputation."
"Your husband, Mr. Sun Shilang, is imprisoned because he is corrupt. The emperor personally approved it with pen and jade, and the three legal tribunals reviewed the results."
"You said I killed your son? Did you know that your son once assassinated me on the street, but the assassination failed, and he was used to carry out the murder in the palace. I guess you were also involved in these two things. In fact, your son was killed by Chongyang
You know about Hou Zhansha, right?"
When Mrs. Sun heard this, her eyes were full of horror.
Luo Jiuli, this bitch, how did she know? She actually knew.
Luo Jiuli snorted coldly.
"As expected, you know that you didn't dare to go to the rightful master to make trouble, but you took the courage of a bear and came to the palace of our righteous government to make trouble."
"You said that my mother is self-righteous, unconventional, and full of hostility towards my mother. It's just because my mother married better than you and lived a better life than you. You are jealous, hateful, and gossiping. You really think I don't know."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four more big mouths fell down in succession.
The beating made Mrs. Sun's mouth bleed, her cheeks swollen, she staggered, and almost fainted.
"Also, who told you that I was kidnapped? Who asked you to spread the rumor."
No wonder Xiao Mingxuan postponed the emperor's summons early in the morning, escorted her out of the palace personally, and asked so many guards to escort her.
No wonder that when she returned to the Duke's Mansion, the guards looked like that, and her mother was hesitant and refused to speak.
It turns out that everything happened because of the rumors this morning.
Mrs. Sun was restrained by Nanzhu and could not move. She could only look at Luo Jiuli with vicious eyes, her cheeks were swollen, and she was whimpering.
"You...the Duke's government bullies others with its power."
"Hmph! You dare to come to the gate of our government to cause trouble. Why are you afraid of bullying others?"
"I'm asking you for the last time, who told you that I was kidnapped? Who asked you to spread the rumor?"
Mrs. Sun's face was gloomy and cruel. Thinking of her current situation, her husband who was imprisoned in prison, and what that man had promised to her, her eyes became gloomier.
"Bah, who do you think you are? Just a dirty little whore, a shameless bitch--"
"Bang!"
This time, before Luo Jiuli could take action, the hot-tempered Nan Zhu could no longer listen.
How do martial arts practitioners' hands compare with ordinary hands? One punch made Mrs. Sun's nose crooked and her mouth crooked, and her two front teeth were instantly knocked out.
Luo Jiuli stood quietly, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips, his eyes fixed on Mrs. Sun's expression, speaking word by word.
"I can guess whether it's King Zhao or Hu Bingyu without you telling me."
When Mrs. Sun heard about King Zhao, her expression did not change much, but when she heard about Hu Bingyu, her jaw drooped, her pupils dilated, and her eyelids and eyebrows raised slightly.
In the human reaction mechanism, this is a subconscious instinctive feeling, which is what people often call micro-expressions.
Luo Jiuli stared at the "micro-expressions" on her face and observed her most primitive feelings and truest motives.
"Ha! It's indeed Hu Bingyu."
"Did Hu Bingyu frame Sun Ting's death on me and then use you to spread rumors that are not good for me?"
Mrs. Sun was surprised. She didn't speak or move. How did Luo Jiuli know it was Hu Bingyu?
Luo Jiuli clapped his hands, as if to shake off the dust.
"You mother and son! You are so stupid that you don't even know you are being taken advantage of."
"For the sake of my mother, I will give you a chance. Are you willing to serve as a witness and testify against Hu Bingyu for me?"
Luo Jiuli knew that this question was unnecessary, but in order to reassure his mother, he still asked it deliberately.
When Mrs. Sun heard this, her eyes widened.
"Bah! Who do you think you are, a murderer, a shameless little whore? What qualifications do you have to instigate me?"
In her heart, Luo Jiuli was the murderer of her son.
"Mother Xu, take my mother back to the house."
"yes."
Aunt Xu supported her wife and rolled her eyes at Mrs. Sun with gritted teeth.
