Chapter 35

The count's eyes became gentle, and he said earnestly: "Lang'er, you can't do it. Times have changed, and under the new policy, we old-fashioned nobles are precarious, lest we make mistakes and get caught. That's all. In the past three years, three noble families have already lost their fiefs, no titles, and even one person has lost his life."

Speaking of which, the count looked sad.

He just wants to keep the inheritance of his ancestors, what's wrong?

He continued: "If I put it before, I would easily take care of people like Tian Heng. But now, let alone you, it would be difficult for me to get rid of him at once. After all, he has an official position in the imperial court. Nobles are not allowed to interfere in local government affairs, once a foul is committed, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this time, Shen Lang deeply felt the helplessness in the Earl's heart.

It doesn't matter whether this new policy is good or bad for the country of Yue, but at least it goes against Shen Lang's interests now, that's bad.

The earl said seriously: "Langer, promise you for my father, I will take Tian Heng in half a year at most, and get justice for you!"

With the power in the hands of the Count, it is certainly not difficult to destroy Tian Heng.

The difficulty is how to comply with the laws of the country and how not to be caught. This is extremely difficult.

But Lord Earl still agreed to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang's expression was serious and his eyes were sincere: "Father-in-law, Tian Heng, Xu family, Lin family and I have a grudge, I must personally avenge this revenge, otherwise I will not be able to raise my head in my life. The three families didn't dare to hurt a single hair of my hair at all, and they already took a huge advantage."

Shen Lang paused for a moment, and then continued: "I have not made any contribution to the Earl's Mansion, so I am not qualified to waste any resources of the Earl's Mansion, especially political resources. If my revenge requires you to avenge me, then I will also If you don't deserve to be Mulan's husband, just go home and eat your parents."

Hearing this, the Count was very relieved.

He felt that Shen Lang finally had a real relationship with him for the first time.

"I appreciate your thoughts." Lord Earl said: "But, you really can't fight them. Son, at this time Xuanwu City is no longer our territory, it belongs to the imperial court, and belongs to Liu Wuyan and Zhang. Jin's territory is over, these two are Tian Heng's backers, you can't fight him."

Shen Lang said: "Then they dare to kill me? Dare to beat me?"

"Who dares?" The earl said coldly: "Now we can't cause trouble, but we still have two or three thousand soldiers and horses in our family. If you dare to hurt the people in my earl's house, then you will be killed by our family's army. Absolutely."

Shen Lang bowed and saluted: "Father-in-law, I am here to assure you that I will let Tian Heng cut off his arm under legal circumstances, and will not leave any clues, please believe me."

Lord Earl said: "Then what are your plans?"

"I can't say it, it's hard to say." Shen Lang said: "There are some things that can only be done, not said."

In fact, Shen Lang didn't dare to say it, for fear that his father-in-law would beat him.

Lord Earl said: "Do you know what will happen if you lose?"

Shen Lang said: "My reputation is discredited, and I will be ridiculed by others when I step into Xuanwu City in the future."

The Count hesitated for a long time, and then gritted his teeth sharply: "You are a thoughtful person. If you insist on going, your father can't stop you."

Shen Lang said, "Thank you, my father-in-law."

The Count said: "You must remember, never violate the laws of the country, and don't leave any excuses. Don't care if you win or lose. It doesn't matter if you lose once at a young age.

Shen Lang bowed again and said: "I must follow the teachings of my father-in-law, and besides... I will definitely win. Even if Tian Heng has the City Lord's Mansion and the Prefect's Mansion as his backers, I will definitely let him lose this time. Sweep away."

"My son-in-law is gone." Shen Lang said.

When the sun rose, he left the Earl's Mansion in a carriage and headed to Xuanwu City.

...

How to deal with people like Tian Heng? what plan?

Honestly, it's hard!

Lord Earl has said that it is very difficult to defeat Tian Heng without leaving a handle in line with national law.

That's right, Tian Heng was guilty of many crimes, and he didn't know how many lives he had. These crimes were enough to send him to the guillotine.

However, Earls Court cannot interfere in local government affairs.

Arresting Tian Heng and judging Tian Heng are all the powers of the Xuanwu City Lord.

Unless Tian Heng commits a crime in the fief of Xuanwu Earl's Mansion, it can be easily won.

But people are not that stupid.

Therefore, Lord Earl said that if Shen Lang could not win, he could not fight against Tian Heng, because behind him were the Xuanwu City Lord and Zhang Jin.

Shen Lang thought of a lot of ways and strategies, mysterious and mysterious, extremely complicated, and even some of the strategies looked gorgeous like Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the wisdom was almost demonic.

However... all useless.

The more complex the strategy, the higher the chance of failure.

What is the best way to use it?

Simple and rude is the best!

And the way Shen Lang was going to deal with Tian Heng was simple and rude, even shameless!

...

Tian Heng ran a lot of industries, gambling halls, brothels, lending and so on.

Which is the most profitable?

Of course, it is a casino, which can be called daily gold, accounting for more than 60% of his income.

His luxurious life, as well as the hundreds of brothers under him, depend to some extent on the proceeds of the casino.

In the entire Xuanwu City, Tian Heng opened five casinos, which were completely monopolistic.

Anyone else want to open a casino? Before Tian Heng's brothers came to the door, the people from the City Lord's Mansion came to seal it up.

Fuguifang is the name of Tian Heng Casino.

It was decorated magnificently, with three floors full of food, drink, play, and everything.

Even pawnshops and brothels are opened in casinos.

So Shen Lang's way of dealing with Tian Heng is very simple, that is to go to his casino to win money, keep winning, keep winning, keep winning!

Winning far exceeds Tian Heng's bottom line and exceeds the endurance of his backer.

For people like Tian Heng, what is most important?

Loyalty? !

No kidding, money of course!

Only money can allow him to buy into the City Lord's Mansion and the defenders.

If you have money, you will have a backer, but if you have no money, you will have no backer.

Shen Lang dared to conclude that the city owner of Xuanwu, and even the prefect of Nujiang, took money in Tian Heng's gambling hall.

Once the lost money exceeds the psychological defense line of these big men, Tian Heng can't help himself.

Before that, before Shen Lang won a hundred gold coins, he would be interrupted and thrown into the river to drown.

And now that he has the identity of the uncle of the Earl's Mansion, it doesn't matter how much money he wins in Xuanwu City.

The only worry is whether he will be beaten by his father-in-law.

Of course, what Shen Lang has to do is not only to win money, the performance after winning is more important, to put everyone in.

...

Lord Earl sent four warriors to protect Shen Lang.

He wore a gorgeous brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, and sat in a gorgeous carriage. He became the focus of everyone as soon as he entered the city.

Countless people pointed at him.

Shen Lang was already a legendary figure in Xuanwu City, even if he was notorious.

An ignorant and incompetent waste, who first became the son-in-law of the rich man of the Xu family. After being kicked out, he became the son-in-law of the Earl's House within three days?

Cow or not?

One step to the sky!

So seeing a wealthy and powerful Shen Lang, countless people vomited blood with jealousy, and they turned around and blah blah blah!

"This waste is really arrogant. He has just become the son-in-law of the Earl's House, and he just swaggered around like this."

"Yes, yes, look at the clothes on him, enough for my family to eat for three years."

"Extremely shameless, extremely shameless. If you don't study hard and don't farm, you just want to eat soft rice and hug your thighs. Lord Earl is really blind, so he chose this kind of waste to be his son-in-law."

"Look, at most half a month, he will be kicked out of the Earl's House, too arrogant!"

Listening to these words, Shen Lang was completely indifferent, and even changed to a more comfortable position to lie in the carriage.

...

When he came to the gate of Fuguifang, Shen Lang got off the carriage and walked into the casino.

The expressions of the four Earl's Palace warriors behind him couldn't help changing.

Uncle is going to gamble?

This, what's so great about this?

The family style of the Earl's Mansion is very strict, even a playboy like the prince would not dare to step into the casino for half a step, otherwise his legs will be broken by the Earl.

Who will enter the casino?

spendthrift!

And Shen Lang, you are just the son-in-law of the Earl's Mansion. You should be cautious and behave in a proper manner. As a result, you are wearing brocade clothes and ostentatious, and you openly entered the casino.

However, the four Earl's Palace warriors only have the power to protect Shen Lang, not to persuade them.

The point is, they don't want to exhort either.

How can a waste like Shen Lang be worthy of Miss Mulan?

Since he is going to die, let him go!

It's better to let him lose in a mess, and then be kicked out of the door by the count's broken legs.

In the eyes of these samurai, only Jin Shiying is the best husband for Miss Mulan.

Because Lord Jin Shiying is their idol and the adopted son of Lord Earl.

...

At this time, Tian Jiujiu, one of Tian Heng's adopted sons, was watching the scene at the Fortune Square Casino.

Seeing Shen Lang coming in, Tian Jiu Jiu was stunned, then ecstatic!

What is a casino?

Demon cave!

Shen Lang actually took the initiative to step into the devil's cave of the Black Clothes Gang, isn't this courting death?

"Oh, isn't this Uncle Shen from the Earl's House? Welcome, welcome!" Tian Nineteen said, "Come here, serve tea, serve good tea."

Soon, the little servant served a pot of the best tea.

Shen Langduan sat down and tasted tea slowly.

"Uncle Shen, are you here to visit, or do you want to play a few games?" Tian Jiu said.

Shen Lang said: "Since I'm here, of course I want to play a few games."

"Welcome!" Tian Nineteen was extremely excited.

The adoptive father Tian Heng and Shen Lang have already made an enmity. Is there no way for Zhengchou to kill Shen Lang? The other party is the son-in-law of the Earl's House, who dares to move?

I didn't expect that Shen Lang would come to the door and take the initiative to die!

Let him lose tens of thousands of gold coins, and then hand over the IOU to the Earl's Mansion, and Shen Lang is completely finished, ranging from being kicked out of the Earl's Mansion, or being driven out of the Earl's Mansion by breaking his legs.

As for Shen Lang who might win? !

Tian Nineteen never thought about this possibility at all.

This is his gambling hall, his territory, even if the King of Heaven comes, he will lose!
