After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 345: Front Edge (14)

At this moment, the extremely annoying male voice came again, "Hey, don't be angry, old man, did I recognize the wrong person? This shouldn't be the case. Brother Zhao, look at him, is he Brother Baokun's brother?"

Ling Chuan frowned and looked up, his sharp eyes without a trace of warmth looking in the direction of the sound, and saw that Liu Zheng and the others were already facing the two people who were looking for trouble.

The man with shifty eyes stood in front of their table, his eyes passing over Liu Zheng and his wife who were protecting them in front, and lingered on Liu Ze's face with ill intent.

Zhao Shusheng also pretended to take a closer look, nodded and said, "Brother Zhuang, you are not mistaken, he is the boy from Brother Liu's family. I still remember that late at night, he sneaked into my residence in the dark..."

"You remember shit!"

"I don't!"

Liu Zheng's wife and Liu Ze said in unison, with two raging flames in their eyes as they glared at Zhao Shusheng.

Liu Zheng's wife said angrily, "Liujia Village is a small place, so everyone knows about it. Do you think Liu Baokun's grandmother is a good person? If you were married to her, she would have flaunted you everywhere. Let alone this, do you think his family has no neighbors? You are so vicious to fabricate and slander his reputation! You will be punished by God sooner or later!"

Zhuang Shusheng came prepared and was not afraid of her at all. He laughed nonchalantly and muttered to himself, "No, I was just telling the truth. How could I be punished by God? But you, old woman, why are you so excited? Are you trying to cover up for him and deceive others?"

After saying this, he glanced meaningfully at the gloomy-faced members of the Yan family.

Liu Zheng finally figured out what was going on. These two bastards were just looking for trouble!

"You are all singing the same tune, you have ill intentions and are maliciously targeting Ze Ge'er. Tell me, why did you do this? You are a scholar, but you behave so badly. If you don't tell me the reason today, this matter will not be over!"

Liu Zheng raised his voice, intending to let the people around him who were watching the show hear him clearly, to let them know that they were not afraid of trouble and that what was fake would not become real!

However, Zhuang Shusheng turned his head away and ignored the three of them. He looked down at the Yan family members who had stern faces and exuded coldness.

But when his gaze swept across Yan Yan's fair and tender face, he paused for a few seconds involuntarily, and his eyes became slightly frivolous and a little sexy.

Yan Yan was very unhappy with such a look and she turned her head away. Except for her, everyone else who was paying attention to Zhuang Shusheng saw it.

In an instant, the expressions of Yan's father, Yan's husband, and Yan Hai became even worse. When Zhao Shusheng saw this, he sneakily bumped into Zhuang Shusheng.

Zhuang Shusheng laughed, then turned to face Yan Hai's gloomy face and said, "My dear brother, meeting is fate. Although my words may not be pleasant to hear, honest advice hurts. You dare to marry such an ungrateful brother? Aren't you afraid that he will turn your family upside down? Tsk, in my opinion, forget it. Marry a virtuous woman..."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Yan's mouth turned down, his cheeks tensed, and he tried his best to suppress the anger that was bursting in his heart. It was no exaggeration to say that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Seeing that he was going too far, Liu Ze had no hope of meeting him, but he also didn't want to be misunderstood. This would not only damage his reputation, but also the reputation of Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu, so he interrupted him hastily: "Don't listen to him! I really didn't! I haven't even seen them! Let alone know them!"

Zhuang Shusheng sneered and squinted his eyes, "Of course you dare not admit it. You are a fickle person and an ungrateful person. The people in Yihong Courtyard are worse than you..."

"Shut up!" Liu Zheng was furious, his voice drowning out Zhuang Shusheng's. He grabbed the bowl on the table and threw it at him.

Zhuang Shusheng dodged quickly, the ceramic bowl drew an arc in the air, the tea spilled, and then it broke into pieces with a bang.

Scholar Zhuang escaped, but Scholar Zhao's clothes got wet. His expression changed instantly, and a hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes. He pointed at Liu Zheng and shouted to the people around him: "Look! Look! He got angry because of what I said! You old man, I want to take the imperial examination! If my face is smashed, can you afford to pay for it?"

"Bah! It's a pity that such black-hearted people like you can pass the exam! Today, you can make something out of nothing and harm our good boy. If you are really allowed to be on the list in the future, you will be accused of calling a horse a zebra!"

Liu Zheng's wife was furious and spoke in a sharp tone. If she had not been rational and considered that she was an old man, she would have followed suit!

Zhuang and Zhao didn't expect that the old woman was so good at talking and could easily put the blame on them.

"There is no point in talking any more. I, Zhuang, am upright and honest. How can you kill me with just a few words?"

"Ha!" Liu Zheng's wife sneered and looked at him coldly, "Aren't you afraid of slipping your tongue when you say that? Who on earth would come up and say something bad about someone for no reason?"

"..." Zhuang Shusheng, who was choked by his own words, looked grim for a moment, then pulled the corner of his mouth and turned to the Yan family, "Brother, I believe you know whether what I said is true or false."

Seeing that he still had no regrets, Liu Zheng didn't want to give up. "Okay! Very good! Since you guys are determined to do such evil things, let's go to the academy to find Liu Baokun and ask the dean of the academy to judge the matter. If he can't, I will risk my reputation and go and beat the drum to appeal for justice!"

As he said this, he turned to his father Yan and said, "Brother Yan, I will give you an explanation for this matter. Ze Ge'er is not that kind of person. You can't believe their lies!"

Yan's father twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to smile. He only replied dryly that the truth would come out, while Mr. Yan and the others pursed their lips and remained silent.

Seeing their reaction, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Zheng felt disappointed and knew that this marriage was aborted.

Zhuang Shusheng smiled when he saw this.

When he smiled, Liu Zheng's face turned red, his veins bulged, and his beard trembled.

He pointed at him and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He bent over, holding his chest.

"Old man!"

"Grandpa Liu!"

Liu Zheng's wife and Liu Ze's faces changed instantly and they hurried to help the man.

When Mr. Yan and his father saw this, they stood up and went over to help.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Could it be that he fainted from anger?

Suddenly, the voices of criticism that were originally whispering became louder.

"Hey, who do you think is telling the truth?" A deliberately lowered voice floated into Ling Chuan's ears. It was the diner sitting next to him. He could hear it clearly even though there were two empty seats between them.

The person being questioned seemed to have taken a sip of wine, smacked his lips and sighed before saying, "In my opinion, that guy definitely didn't lie. Didn't you see it too? He was about to go to the government office to file a complaint."

Ling Chuan turned around and looked over, just in time to see the young man who started the topic shaking his head. He said, "I think what those two scholars said is true."

"Haha, you're still standing by them even after all this?"

"Seeing is not necessarily believing. Look at them, they are dressed in rich clothes and look handsome. At first glance, they are the sons of wealthy families. They come from good families and are scholars. Who knows, they may pass the imperial examination one day."

“…It doesn’t seem likely.”

"Don't deny it yet. Look at that boy again. He is quite good-looking. If you knew your brother was dating someone like him, wouldn't you be tempted? People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Who doesn't want to find a good husband these days? How does the saying go? The one who is close to the water gets the moon first, so it's not impossible."

The young man spoke very convincingly, but after all his talk he failed to convince the uncle sitting next to him. Instead, he felt more and more that he had figured out everything.

The uncle raised his eyelids and glanced at him, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, smiled and shook his head, and didn't say anything else. He obviously realized that the other party was a stubborn person, so why bother to say more and waste time?

But the man seemed to have no tact and didn't even know he was being looked down upon: "It seems like the people at that table are looking at each other. Tsk tsk tsk, this incident will probably be blown up. Look at the man's family, their faces are all green..."

Besides them, there were many other people around.

There were whispers of discussion. Ling Chuan swept the area around, his eyes passing through the diners' faces with different expressions. He withdrew coldly and returned to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng hadn't recovered yet, and his wife was asking him worriedly, her voice trembling.

"Old man? Old man? How are you? Don't scare me..."

"Grandpa Liu..."

Seeing that Liu Zheng was sweating profusely from the pain and his face turned from red to blue, Liu Ze was immediately frightened, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of his grip on Liu Zheng's hand.

"Grandpa Liu, please don't get hurt! It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I won't get married! Please don't get hurt..."

If the groundless accusations and strange looks were like an invisible whip, whipping his body and mind again and again, then Liu Zheng's fall made him feel terrified, and the boundless guilt almost drowned him...

Liu Ze's condition was not right, but everyone's attention was drawn to Liu Zheng, so only Ling Chuan, who had been watching him, noticed this.

His eyes changed and his body swayed slightly, but in a few moments the movement became larger and he was on the verge of falling.

Anger is harmful to the body. He didn't know much about Liu Ze, but he knew that he was a sensitive and kind person. The more grateful he was to Liu Zheng's family, the more guilty he felt. The guilt grew, and those rumors were suffocating.

"Ah!" Mr. Yan suddenly exclaimed, "Ze'er, what's wrong with you? Yunshan, help me!"

The strict father and his companions were shocked. How come the little one also fainted?

They were in a panic and confusion until Yan Yan noticed that the color of Liu Ze's lips was not right. She quietly checked his breath and found that he was dead. He screamed in shock and fell to the ground. Liu Zheng had not yet recovered his breath.

"He, he, he's out of breath, he's dead!" Yan Yan said with his eyes wide open in fear.

The people around him gasped, Ling Chuan's face changed drastically, he stood up and ran over.

How can it be?

Why is it at this time?

"What did you say?" Liu Zheng's wife's face was pale and her voice was very soft. She turned her head and looked at Yan Yan in a daze.

Mr. Yan frowned and scolded Yan Yan, telling her to stop talking nonsense and that this was not a joke. However, Yan Hai felt that his younger sister's reaction did not seem like a lie, so he took the initiative to check Liu Ze's breath.

Really...dead?

Yan Hai couldn't believe it.

Liu Zheng's wife looked at him blankly with tears in her eyes, her lips trembling, and she wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

"......Mercy." Yan Hai's words made Liu Zheng's wife completely collapse. The old lady instantly cried like a child, muttering that it was impossible. She didn't believe it because she was clearly fine before.

The two people who were deliberately looking for trouble saw that the situation was not good and someone was really killed, so they wanted to escape in the chaos.

"You can't leave!" Yan Hai rushed over and blocked their way.

When the strict father saw his son speak, he remembered the culprit and hurried over to block the way: "My son is right, you can't leave. You came in and started to criticize others. Now someone has died. If you leave, who will be responsible for this?"

"This matter is of great importance. You'd better pray that what you say is true!" Two people in the family stood up, and Yan Fulang and Yan Yan also joined the team.

What's going on!

What people say is scary, and right and wrong are the hardest to resolve.

Even if they are angry and their views on the marriage have changed, they cannot just sit there and watch them go.

Being stopped, Zhuang Shusheng and Zhao Shusheng had to stop. He let out a long "Hey", "You said I won't leave if you don't let me? You are such a funny family. I kindly reminded you to avoid being deceived, but you didn't appreciate it and even thought I was harboring evil intentions. You are such a devil that it's hard to persuade him with kind words. Besides, he has a bad temper, it's none of our business."

"Brother Zhuang, stop talking. Let's go. It's their business if they want to suffer losses." Zhao Shusheng pushed Zhuang Shusheng, looking anxious. If they didn't leave now, it would be too late.

Yan Hai's eyes darkened, and he moved to block their way again, staring at them and said, "Whether you are kind-hearted or guilty, we will know once we investigate. If you have a clear conscience, wait until Village Chief Liu wakes up before leaving."

"Second brother is right!" Yan Yan agreed, and was not surprised to receive a sharp look from Zhao Shusheng.

Bullshit! Zhao Shusheng cursed in his heart.

But because of the Yan family's blocking, other diners also came over, including the shopkeeper. Zhao Shusheng and Zhuang Shusheng couldn't leave even if they wanted to, but they didn't give up. Only a fool would stay and wait for accountability.

"Get out of your way!"

"No!"

Although Yan Hai is fair-skinned, he has perfectly inherited the advantages of his Yan father and Yan's husband. He is tall and strong. Standing next to his Yan father, he instantly makes the two scholars opposite him look like skinny chickens.

As the two sides were in a stalemate, Liu Zheng woke up slowly.

Seeing a bunch of people gathered around him, he was a little confused. Then he saw his wife looking extremely pale, with red and swollen eyes and tears streaming down her face. He thought he had frightened them and hurriedly comforted his tearful wife, "Ahem, I'm fine..."

Hearing her husband's voice, his wife seemed to be awakened from a dream, raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Oh! Old man, Ze Ge'er is gone!"

"What did you say?!" Liu Zheng thought he was hallucinating. He subconsciously lowered his head to look at Liu Ze who was lying motionless on the table, and raised his hand to push his back.

Liu Ze did not respond, and Liu Zheng's voice gradually became trembling.

"Ze'er, don't be afraid. Grandpa said he would help you prove your innocence and seek justice. Grandpa was just too tired just now, so I'll take a break... Don't be angry, answer Grandpa, okay?"

"Wow... Ze'er hasn't even had a single day of happiness..." In the absence of any response, Liu Zheng's wife burst into tears. Liu Zheng's expression changed completely. His eyes turned red and his throat seemed to be filled with lead. He couldn't make a sound for a long time.
