Chapter 17

After a long while, Earl Xuanwu calmed down and said, "The matter of the Zhu family's marriage proposal is very secretive, even I don't know it, why do you know? Who heard it from?"

Yes, the eyes of several people present turned to Shen Lang, how could he know such a secret thing in his humble identity?

Shen Lang said: "Xu's daughter's new fiancé, Zhang Jin!"

"Zhang Jin?" Earl Xuanwu said, "The new leader of the defenders of Xuanwu City?"

"Yes, it's him." Shen Lang said: "When I joined the Xu family before and was kicked out by Xu Qianqian. Her new fiancé Zhang Jin said that the wedding would be held as soon as possible, because the Zhu family wanted to ask your family for relatives, and Zhu Hongxue wanted to Marrying Miss Jin Mulan, he took me as a fool and leaked it out without precaution, and later ordered Xu Qianqian not to leak it."

At this time, the confidant of the Earl's Mansion whispered in the ear of Lord Earl, obviously telling Shen Lang's identity and background.

In Xuanwu City, Shen Lang is a famous person.

When no one dared to enter the Xu family, he, Shen Lang, stepped forward and became famous in Xuanwu City at that time.

Everyone knew that there was a fool who became the son-in-law of the Xu family. All of Shen Lang's family background has been dug up, including that he has been studying for nearly ten years, but he has not even completed the enlightenment course, and his brain IQ is quite problematic, and so on.

"Just two days ago, the Xu family announced that their son-in-law, Shen Lang, stole the family's property and molested the maid, so he was expelled from the Xu family." The earl's confidant finally said, his voice was a little louder, presumably to let Shen Lang deliberately hear.

Hearing these words, Earl Xuanwu frowned.

Whether Shen Lang stole the wealth of the Xu family and molested the maid of the Xu family, it is hard to say, the count is inclined to not believe it.

However, Shen Lang has been studying for nearly ten years, and he has not even completed the enlightenment education in the town school and was sent home directly.

Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, the reason why Shen Lang was willing to join the Xu family was purely out of covetousness. Lord Earl dislikes young people to be lazy and greedy for vanity, so he has a very bad impression of Shen Lang.

If it was normal, he would have to educate him, but at this time he couldn't care about it, because what Shen Lang told was too important and directly related to the fate of the Earl's Mansion.

Moreover, he immediately judged that what Shen Lang said was basically true.

The Zhang family is a newly promoted aristocrat of the Yue Kingdom, and their backer is the Zhu family.

Zhang Jin's father, Zhang Chong, had just served as the prefect of Nujiang County, entirely because of the recommendation of Zhu Rong, the governor of Tiannan Province.

So it's not surprising that Zhang Jin knows the secrets of the Zhu family.

Regarding Zhang Jin, Count Jin Zhuo of Xuanwu knew about it, and even the dignitaries in Xuanwu City were a little surprised at how short of money this family was. The son of the prefect married the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and this daughter had recruited a son-in-law. .

Earl Jin Zhuo can understand that the Zhang family has risen too fast, its foundation is unstable, and if it wants to continue to grow, it needs a lot of money, but everyone's eyes are on the Zhang family, so they are not good for money , then it is very necessary to find a super rich in-law.

Therefore, the marriage between the Zhang family and the Xu family is a typical alliance of power and money.

"Immediately send a few teams to investigate on various official roads. Once you find someone from the Zhu family, come back and report immediately." The Count ordered: "The key now is to know, where have the Zhu family's begging family gone? "

"Yes!" A confidant ran out, and he would personally lead people to investigate the people of the Zhu family.

Then, the Count said to Shen Lang: "Young man, I have a bad impression of you. But the matter you told is very important, and you have made a huge contribution, and I will definitely reward you. Say what you want, as long as it does not violate the country. The law, as long as it does not violate the moral code, I can agree to everything."

Shen Lang's goodwill towards this Count suddenly increased again.

This is called refreshing, and the matter has not been verified yet, so they will give a big reward directly.

Lord Earl already understands this very clearly, no matter how much Shen Lang wants or how much land, he only needs to say a few words. And no matter what trouble Shen Lang has, Lord Earl is willing to solve it.

In other words, the Xu family, Lin family and Tian Heng's crisis against Shen Lang can be resolved in an instant.

As long as Lord Earl sends someone to spread a word, these three families will not dare to touch Shen Lang's hair.

However, Shen Lang wanted more than that.

Such an important bargaining chip, just to relieve this crisis, just to deal with the Xu family and Tian Heng is too cheap.

What he wants is to take the opportunity to stay in the Earl's Mansion, then find a way to get close to Jin Mulan, keep showing off, keep playing with her presence, and finally marry... the goddess.

Shen Lang swore that with his talent and handsome face, he would be able to impress the goddess in at most half a month.

"I want to stay in the Earl's Mansion and ask for an errand." Shen Lang bowed.

He did not mention that the Xu family and Tian Heng wanted to murder him, because there was no need to mention it at all. As long as he had an errand in the Earl's Mansion, these two families would naturally not dare to touch his family.

After hearing this, the Earl's House immediately frowned. He had a very bad impression of Shen Lang before. It's okay for a young man to be lazy and not study well. The key is to be the son-in-law of the Xu family. This is greed and vanity. , a huge disobedience.

Moreover, he felt that Shen Lang's desire to stay in the Earl's Mansion was completely ill-intentioned. In fact, the Earl's eyes were still very sharp.

However, since he said it, he would definitely agree.

Moreover, Shen Lang is still young, even if he has any bad problems, he can be corrected under the strict discipline of the Earl's Mansion.

The Count said: "Since you want to find an errand in the Count's Mansion, I can promise you, and you have done a good job in reporting, I will never let you be a servant, but..."

The earl's tone became severe and said, "But, your coming to my earl's mansion is definitely not a blessing, nor will you be lazy, but will discipline you very severely. Can you bear this hardship?"

suffer? !

Forget it, the last thing Shen Lang wanted in his life was to suffer and work hard.

But for the sake of the goddess, it's okay to suffer for a few days for a while, but of course it's just a few days, and no more can't stand it.

"Yes!" Shen Lang of course agreed.

Then, the Count stepped forward and squeezed Shen Lang's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Your physical fitness is too poor, and you are too old to practice martial arts. You still have a future if you study hard at this age. From now on, you will follow the prince. Go to school, your parents dote on you, but my Earl's House doesn't, so you must be well polished."

Shen Lang couldn't help but stunned, isn't this the senior companion in "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance"?

"Okay, after all, you are injured, go to rest first, and you will study with the prince tomorrow. I will send someone to inform your parents, and then send a sum of gold coins." Lord Earl said: "If you have any trouble, I'll deal with it as well."

Look, the big man is so atmospheric.

"Yes, Lord Earl." Shen Lang said.

The Countess said: "Jin Zhong, go to the tailor in the mansion to have Shen Lang weighed and make some new clothes."

"Yes." The old servant said.

Shen Lang felt another warmth in his heart, the count and his wife are really good people.

"Lord Earl, Madam, Miss, the villain will leave first." Shen Lang bowed and saluted, then backed out.

However, before he could reach the door, a man rushed in, the earl's confidant. He was about to lead his troops to the official road to find out where the Zhu family had gone, and he hurried back in less than a quarter of an hour. .

"Master, the big thing is bad!" The confidant knelt down and said, "We just sent the flying pigeon biography from the scouts in Nujiang County. A certain important person from the Zhu family arrived in Nujiang City last night, and the direction is our Earl Xuanwu. government!"

"What?" The Count exclaimed.

"What?" Shen Lang exclaimed in his heart.

This is fatal!

He had successfully implemented the first step, staying at the Earl's Court.

In the next few days, he will perform the second step, constantly showing, constantly playing with his presence.

Then came the third step, trying to find a way to enter the Earl's House.

That's right, it's a wedlock.

Because the status quo is very simple, it is absolutely impossible for Jin Mulan to marry outside.

However, the big man of the Zhu family has already arrived in Nujiang City, and he will go to the Count Xuanwu's mansion tonight to ask Jin Mulan for marriage, which means that there is no time at all.

What is constantly manifesting, constantly playing with a sense of existence, there is simply not enough time.

Come on, don't give it to me for half a month, don't give me three days, or even give me one day!

In other words, Jin Mulan is getting married today, leaving Shen Lang only two or three hours at most!

Otherwise, his goddess will belong to others, and his glory and wealth will fly away.

No, the goddess is mine!
