Chapter 105： interrogation

Curious light flashed.

The originally aggressive Chen Linger was stunned after hearing Gu Lang's words, and those beautiful eyes stared straight at Gu Lang, as if she didn't understand what he was doing Say something, murmur: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Lang didn't come to talk nonsense with her this time. Seeing her like this, he didn't say much. He went straight to the county magistrate, and bowed his hands to the county magistrate who was sitting at the top. He said, "The reason why Caomin is standing here today is to sue Fourth Miss Chen for setting fire to our shop, and I hope the county magistrate will look into the situation and uphold justice for Caomin!"

Hearing Gu Lang's words, Chen Linger was shocked, and suddenly looked up at him, her eyes full of shock. No, it's impossible, she thinks that things are done secretly, and it's impossible for Gu Lang and the others to know.

Chen Linger comforted herself like this, but looking at Gu Lang, who was sworn over there, another secret thought emerged in her heart, that is, Gu Lang and the others know, they know what they have done .

"Fart!"

Before Gu Lang could say anything else, someone in the hall let out a loud screeching sound, and then he heard the man say one after another: "My daughter is just a girl, how can she To set fire to the store. I see that you clearly hold grudges against my Chen family, so you are so indiscriminate slander."

Lang has a deep hatred.

Unexpectedly, when facing the accusation of Master Chen, Gu Lang not only did not show a slight gaffe, but showed a good-looking expression, "Oh, since this is the case, then Master Chen might as well Tell me, I am a grass-roots citizen, why do I have such a hard time thinking about going against your family, Master?"

Master Chen only felt that the eyes of the people around him were all focused on him. There was curiosity, scrutiny, and even a bit of ridicule in those eyes. The thought that comes out, after all, it's not a glorious thing.

However, when Master Chen met Gu Lang's half-smiling gaze, the anger he had suppressed rose again. Gu Lang is just a poor scholar, or a run-down family with no family background. Why should he, a rich family in the city, be afraid of him? After thinking about this clearly, Master Chen didn't go to Gu Lang, but turned to look at the county magistrate in the hall, and cupped his hands, "County magistrate, I didn't want to say these things, but this Gu Lang is really deceiving people too much, so I had to make things clear.

My daughter was reluctant to marry him, and I agreed to this matter eagerly.

But after that, taking into account the harmony between our two families, I married him another concubine brother. Who knows that he has always held a grudge, that I didn't marry my daughter to him, and this happened today.

Although the person who got married didn't agree with Gu Lang, we still fulfilled the agreement. Who knows, after so long, he not only held a grudge against this matter, but also made up such outrageous lies to slander my daughter, which is extremely shameless. Also, the magistrate of Wang County is very careful and will give justice to my daughter! "

Chen Xing listened to Mr. Chen's half-truth, confounding black and white, but pointed the whole story to Gu Lang's fault, and clenched his fists angrily. No one knows better than him what happened in the first place. It is precisely because of this that when he heard what Mr. Chen said, he felt that Mr. Chen was the most shameless person.

Just when Chen Xing couldn't help but want to confront Mr. Chen, he felt his hand was lightly patted by someone, he turned his head and looked over, only to see Gu Lang staring at him , When he saw himself looking over, he slowly shook his head towards himself, as if to signal himself not to be impulsive.

At the moment when Chen Xing hesitated, the majestic voice of the county magistrate came from the top, only to hear him indifferently: "Chen Bingsheng, can you be responsible for what you said?"

Chen Bingsheng is the name of Mr. Chen. At this time, when he heard the words of the county magistrate, Mr. Chen had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still felt that he had no power like Gu Lang. He was powerless and couldn't make any waves, so he said stubbornly: "Caomin, willing to be responsible for what you say."

The county magistrate nodded, then turned to look at Gu Lang who was standing there, and said, "Gu Lang, is what Chen Bingsheng said true?"

Gu Lang glanced at Master Chen, saw his eyes fixed on him, stood up without fear, and said loudly: "The student is willing to use his identity as a guarantee, Master Chen said This is absolutely not the truth. When I got home, I knew that I had no relationship with Miss Chen's family, so I personally went to the house to withdraw from my relatives, hoping that the Chen family would return the dowry gift that my family had given in the past. However, the Chen family refused and married Chen Xing to her. I, I have no objection to this, and I have no thoughts about Miss Chen."

As soon as Gu Lang's words came out, there was a commotion in the crowd. After all, what kind of identity is Juren? Compared with ordinary people, it is the existence of a master who can almost become a Shangguan. And it is hard to find them. They are the only two masters in this county. They are now in their forties and over, and they are quite respected locally.

Gu Lang is only in his early twenties now. If he can continue his studies, his future is boundless. However, a person with such an identity is now gambling with his identity, and everyone in the hall can't help but believe what he said, and the eyes that look at Mr. Chen are extremely complicated.

Master Chen didn't have time to take care of the eyes of the people around him, just stared at Gu Lang in front of him, and said incredulously: "You, you are actually a master? Since you have such a reputation, When you came to my Chen's house, why didn't you reveal a single star?"

Mr. Chen questioned like this, and he was also very angry, and he didn't know what he was angry about.

Gu Lang hooked his lips lightly, and said lightly: "It's just a thin name, what's the difference between saying it or not? change your mind?"

Mr. Chen's face turned ashen at Gu Lang's words, how could there be no difference? If they knew Gu Lang's identity back then, how could their family treat him like that, how could their family lose a son-in-law in vain!

Gu Lang ignored the ugly-looking old master Chen, and did not look at the people who came to join in the fun, but turned to look at the county magistrate who looked up, and continued:

"I don't have any so-called unreasonable thoughts about Miss Chen. Now I'm standing here, just wanting to get justice for my innocently burned shop."

Chen Linger, who had become a little sluggish because she heard that Gu Lang was a great man, heard his words and stared silently at his standing figure, only to see him standing there straight, Word by word, he slammed himself into the eighteen layers of hell.

"Since I dare to sue Miss Chen, it is because of the fact that I have solid evidence, and I hope the county magistrate will let my witnesses go to court and ask her to prove that what I said is true. "

The county magistrate nodded, and then waved to the yamen who were waiting next to him, asking them to bring the witnesses in Gu Lang's mouth.

Soon, a slender figure staggered in with the help of the official.

Her appearance made Chen Linger, who had a bad premonition, a look of horror on her face immediately. The arrogance just now disappeared, and it was replaced by a panic. Uneasy look.

The person who came to the hall first bowed to the county magistrate who was in the first place, and then knelt there.

Gu Lang took a step forward, and in the eyes of everyone's doubts, he said aloud the origin of this person, "Her name is Cui'er, she was originally the maid next to the fourth Miss Chen family. , it was she and Chen Linger who went to our restaurant to set the fire.

Later, in order to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, Fourth Miss Chen beat the maid to half to death, and let the woman in the house sell it. If we hadn't found her in time and rescued her, she might be dead now. "

Everyone around took a breath and looked at Chen Linger's eyes with a little more fear. They never thought that this young lady of the Chen family, who looked weak and weak, actually had Such a snake and scorpion heart is simply terrifying.

Listening to the buzzing discussions around, the county magistrate slapped the gavel, then looked at the maid who was kneeling there, and said loudly: "Is what Gu Lang said true? Invite! If you dare to deceive, this official will punish you severely!"

His words made Tracy tremble.

She didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly turned to look at the county magistrate who looked up, and said honestly:

"Yes, the lady asked me to go with her to burn the shop, saying that it was to retaliate against the two bosses of the Chen family hawker. That night, I was outside the door, and the lady went in and set the fire. After setting the fire, we left."

"You lie, it's not like that, you panic, I don't!" Chen Linger rushed towards her, her eyes seemed to want to eat her raw, "I drove you out back then I should have killed you when it was time, and I won't let you hurt me now!"

Cui'er looked at the crazy Chen Linger and silently moved away from her, as if to prove that she was not lying, she looked at the county magistrate who looked up, and hurriedly said: "I don't, What I said was true, and that night we also threw the arson stuff into the river not far from the restaurant."

As soon as Cui Er's eager words fell, there was another noise at the entrance of the yamen, and then two officials came in with a wet long colander in one hand and a small cloth bag in the other.

"The county magistrate, we really found this thing in the place she said!"

The county magistrate glanced at the wet cloth bag, put his eyes on Chen Linger below, and said solemnly: "Chen Linger, do you know this thing?"
