The earl's eyes softened and he said, "Lang, you can't do it. The times have changed. Under the new deal, we, the old aristocrats, are in turmoil, afraid that we will be caught in the wrong. In the past three years, three noble families have been seized from their lands, only their titles, and one of them has even lost his life."
At this point, the earl looked sad.
What's wrong with him simply wanting to protect his ancestors' heritage?
He continued, "If it had been before, I would have easily taken 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 a government position and nobles are not allowed to interfere in local government affairs. If he breaks the rules, the consequences will be unimaginable."
At this moment, Shen Lang deeply felt the helplessness in the earl's heart.
This new policy is good or bad for Yue kingdom, but at least now it's against Shen Lang's interests, and that's bad.
The earl said earnestly, "Lang, as your father, I promise you that I will take Tian Heng down in half a year at the most and seek justice for you!"
With the strength of the earl, it was certainly not difficult to destroy Tian Heng.
The hard part was how to comply with the national law and how not to be caught, which was extremely difficult.
But the earl agreed to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang's expression was serious and his eyes were sincere, "My father-in-law, Tian Heng, the Xu family, the The lin family and I have a grudge against each other. I must avenge it myself, or I will never be able to raise my head in this life. I joined Earl's mansion, so that the three families did not dare to hurt a single hair of me, and they already took advantage of me."
Shen Lang paused for a moment, then continued, "I did not make any contribution to Earl's mansion, so I have no right to waste any of Earl's mansion's resources, especially political resources. If my revenge requires you to avenge me, then I am not worthy to be Mulan's husband, so go home and eat your parents."
The earl was pleased to hear this.
He felt that Shen Lang had finally made a real connection with him for the first time.
"I appreciate your thoughts." The earl said, "But you really can't fight them. Son, at this time, Xuanwu city is no longer our territory. It belongs to the court. It belongs to Liu Wuyan and Zhang Jin. Both of them are Tian Heng's backers. You can't fight him."
Shen lang said, "Do they dare to kill me? Do they dare to hit me?"
"Who dares?" The earl said in a cold voice, "We cannot stir up trouble now, but our family still has two or three thousand troops. If you dare to hurt my people in Earl's mansion, you will be killed by our army."
Shen Lang bowed and said, "My father-in-law, I promise you here that I will make Tian Heng break his arm and sweep the floor under legal circumstances without leaving any evidence. Please believe me."
The earl said, "Then what are your plans?"
"You can't say it. It's hard to say." Shen lang said, "There are some things that can only be done, not said."
Actually, Shen Lang didn't dare to say it, afraid that his father-in-law would beat him up.
The count said, "Do you know what will happen if you lose?"
Shen lang said, "My reputation has been ruined. I will be ridiculed for stepping into Xuanwu city in the future."
The earl hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "You are a thoughtful person. If you insist on going, your father will not stop you."
Shen lang said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
The earl said, "You must remember that you must never violate national laws and leave no evidence. Don't care if you win or lose. You can lose once at a young age. Your reputation stinks. It's no harm to be ashamed."
Shen Lang once again said, "I will follow my father-in-law's instructions, and... I will definitely win. Even if tian heng has City lord's mansion and Imperial palace as his backers, I will definitely let him lose completely this time."
"My son-in-law is gone," shen lang said.
When the sun rose, he left Earl's mansion in a carriage and headed for Xuanwu city.
...
How do we deal with people like Tian Heng? What plan?
It's hard to tell the truth!
The earl had already said that it was difficult to defeat Tian Heng without leaving any trace of evidence.
That's right. Tian Heng was guilty of a lot of crimes, and he didn't know how many lives he had. These crimes were enough to put him on the guillotine.
However, Earl's mansion cannot interfere in local government affairs.
Capturing Tian Heng and judging Tian Heng were the powers of the lord of xuanwu.
Unless Tian Heng committed a crime on Count xuanwu's mansion's fief, it would be easy to take down.
But he wasn't that stupid.
So the earl said that Shen Langying could not fight Tian Heng, because he had the master of xuanwu and Zhang Jin behind him.
Shen Lang thought of a lot of methods and strategies, mysterious and mysterious, extremely complicated, and even some strategies looked as gorgeous as Zhu Geliang in "Romance of the three kingdoms," the sense of intelligence almost demon.
However... It was all useless.
The more complicated the scheme, the higher the chance of failure.
What method works best?
Simple and rough is the best use!
Shen Lang's plan to deal with Tian Heng was simple and crude enough, even shameless!
...
Tian Heng ran a lot of businesses, Gambling house, brothels, loans and so on.
Which makes the most money?
Of course, it was Gambling house, which made up more than 60 % of his income.
His lavish life, along with his hundreds of brothers, depended in part on Gambling house's profits.
Across Xuanwu city, tian heng opened five Gambling house houses, which were completely monopolistic.
The others wanted to open Gambling house? Before Tian Heng's brothers could come, the City lord's mansion came to seal it up.
Rich and noble workshop is the name of Tian Heng Gambling house.
It was beautifully decorated, three floors full of food, drink, play, and everything.
Even pawn shops and brothels were opened in casinos.
So Shen Lang's way of dealing with Tian Heng was very simple. He went to his Gambling house to win money, always win, always win!
Winning far beyond Tian Heng's bottom line, beyond the strength of his backer.
For someone like Tian Heng, what's the most important thing?
Loyalty?!
Stop joking, of course it's money!
Only money could make him buy the city's main residence and the garrison.
If you have money, you have a backer. If you don't have money, you have no backer.
Shen lang dared to conclude that the lord of Xuanwu city and even Imperial guard of nujiang were taking money from Tian Heng's Gambling house.
Once the money he lost exceeded the psychological defenses of these big shots, it was all up to Tian Heng himself.
Before that, before Shen Lang had won a hundred gold coins, he would have been broken and thrown into the river to drown.
Now that he had the status of Earl's mansion Uncle as a protector, it was not a problem how much money he would win in xuanwu city.
The only worry was whether he would be beaten up by his father-in-law.
Of course, what shen lang had to do was not only to win money, but also to perform after winning money.
...
The count sent four warriors to protect Shen Lang.
He was dressed in splendid brocade, with a jade crown on his head, and sat in a magnificent carriage. As soon as he entered the city, he became the center of attention.
Countless people pointed at him.
Shen Lang was already a legendary figure in Xuanwu city, even if he was notorious.
An incompetent trash, first became the son-in-law of a wealthy xu family, and after being chased out, he became the son-in-law of Earl's mansion in less than three days?
A cow or not?
A leap to heaven!
So when they saw Shen Lang, who was so rich and powerful, countless people spat out blood with jealousy in their hearts and turned around to do it!
"This trash is really arrogant. He just became the son-in-law of Earl's mansion, and just strutted through the city."
"Yes, yes. Look at his clothes. They've been enough for my family for three years."
"The most shameless, the most shameless. If you don't study hard, you don't farm, you just want to eat soft rice and hug your thighs. The earl is really blind. He chose this kind of trash to be his son-in-law."
"You see, in half a month at most, he will be driven out of Earl's mansion. It's too arrogant!"
Hearing these words, Shen Lang was completely indifferent and even changed to a more comfortable position to lie in the carriage.
...
Coming to the gate of Rich and noble workshop, shen lang got off the carriage and walked into Gambling house.
The faces of the four Earl's mansion warriors behind him could not help but change.
Uncle was going to gamble?
What, what's wrong with this?
Earl's mansion's family was very strict. Even a dandy like the prince would not dare to step into a casino, or else the earl would break his legs.
Who would enter the casino?
Bastard!
Shen Lang, you're just a son-in-law from Earl's mansion. You should have been careful and behaved, but in the end, you strutted through the market in your brocade clothes and entered the casino openly.
However, the four Earl's mansion warriors only had the right to protect Shen Lang, not to admonish him.
The point is, they don't want to admonish.
How could a trash like Shen Lang be worthy of Miss Mulan?
Since he wants to die, he can go!
It would be better to let him lose badly, and then be broken by the earl and driven out of the house.
In the hearts of these warriors, only the great king was Miss Mulan's best husband.
Because lord Jin Shiying was their idol and lord earl's son.
...
At this time, Tian Nineteen, one of Tian Heng's sons, was watching the show in Gambling house, Rich and noble workshop.
Seeing Shen Lang come in, Tian Nineteen was stunned and then ecstatic!
What is Gambling house?
The devil's den!
Shen Lang took the initiative to step into the Black shirt gang's devil's den. Isn't that looking for death?
"Oh, isn't this shen Uncle from Earl's mansion? Welcome, welcome!" Tian 19 said, "Come on, have some tea, have some good tea."
Soon, the servant served a pot of the best tea.
Shen Lang sat down and sipped his tea slowly.
"Shen Uncle, are you here for a tour or do you want to play a few?" Tian 19 road.
Shen lang said, "Since you're here, of course you have to play a few."
"Welcome!" Tian Nineteen was extremely excited.
Tian Heng and Shen Lang, the godfather, had already become enemies, and they were worried that there was no way to kill Shen Lang. The other party is Earl's mansion's son-in-law. Who dares to move?
I didn't expect Shen Lang to come and die!
Let him lose tens of thousands of gold coins, and then hand over the iou to Earl's mansion, and Shen Lang is completely finished, either driven out of Earl's mansion or kicked out of Earl's mansion with his legs broken.
And Shen Lang might win?!
This possibility never crossed Tian Nineteen's mind.
This is his Gambling house, his territory, even if the emperor came to lose!
