Within an hour, the news of Chang Sheng's murder had spread to everyone in the capital.

There are those who do not believe, there are those who are angry, and there are even more who are fearful.

The generals and nobles collectively did not believe it, because in their view, the lineage of King Kaiping was terminated if it was passed to Chang Sheng.

Chang Mao acted recklessly, but he dared to fight and kill, and his father's reputation was not lost.

As for Chang Sheng...

To put it bluntly, his uncle Lan Yu even looks down on him, so who else can he expect to look down on him?

In the words of some noble military officers, he is a guy who can't beat a fart with eight sticks, and he holds the title of Duke of the country in vain.

However, when these people "happened" to pass by the Lu family and accidentally walked into the Lu family's old house, they all shut up after seeing the tragic scene inside.

When they mentioned Chang Sheng again, they all changed their tone and complained about Chang Sheng.

well!

Chang Sheng is such an honest person. The Lu family can force an honest person like Chang Sheng to be like this. How excessive is the Lu family?

While they helped Chang Sheng create public opinion, they also mobilized various connections to recruit people.

Although Lan Yu was not in the capital, Mrs. Ru from Liangguogong's Mansion in the capital rushed to the Kaiping Prince's Mansion as soon as possible, comforted Chang Sheng's wife Tang, and arranged an engagement with Tang's daughter on behalf of her grandson.

Chang Mao's widow, Feng Shi, returned home that night and begged her father, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, to intercede for Chang Sheng.

Feng Sheng felt unbearable when he saw that this stupid girl of his own was busy with her husband's family even though her husband was dead.

But what Chang Sheng did was too big, and Feng Sheng didn’t have enough respect for him, right?

Furthermore, even if he pleads for mercy, it’s not his turn. Isn’t Tang He, the Duke of Xin Guo, still in the capital? Let him plead for his son-in-law!

When Tang He heard this, he was so angry that he was speechless.

While scolding Chang Sheng for being a fool, he also scolded the Lu family for being nothing.

Just the thought of interceding for Chang Sheng made Tang He in trouble.

Since the founding of the great dynasty, except for his own brother Zhu Chongba, it seems that no one else has done this kind of thing that destroyed a whole family?

This son-in-law of my own is so awesome that he dares to directly kill everyone...

Butcher Zhu wanted to kill someone, so he had to come up with a high-sounding reason. How did that kid Chang Sheng have such a brain? How could he just listen to a few words from people and then kill all the people in the house as soon as his brain got hot?

Military General Xungui, even if he was unable to write a letter to Chang Sheng to plead for mercy, he tried his best to bribe the jailer and send food to Chang Sheng in the prison.

He even put his trust directly on Erhu, hoping that Erhu would help him fish out people.

Erhu looked at the people asking for help and sighed in his heart, these people really think highly of him.

I am just a dog owned by the Emperor. I will bite whomever the Emperor says. When will we be able to make our own decisions?

However, Erhu still mentioned it to Lao Zhu in a subtle way.

It's just that Lao Zhu was focusing all his body and mind on his grandson at that time and was not in the mood to pay attention to this matter.

Compared with the generals and nobles who were running around to rescue Chang Sheng, the civil servants were not stopping either.

Every civil servant heard about this and was filled with righteous indignation.

Chang Sheng dared to kill a whole family at the slightest disagreement, but what about the other noble generals?

Once anyone can kill anyone at will, will there be any order or system in the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, there was almost no need for an organization on the part of the civil servants. Everyone who could write a letter denounced Chang Sheng's bad behavior and wanted to have him executed.

They also knew that this was impossible. Putting aside Chang Sheng's relationship with the royal family, just talking about the iron certificate of his family's alchemy book, they would definitely not be executed by everyone because of this matter.

But no matter what, Chang Sheng must die!

This move is not to avenge the Lu family, nor is it to seek justice for the Lu family.

The civil servants have only one purpose for thinking this way, that is, they do not want to become the next "Lu family".

There is an emperor who kills people at every turn, which has frightened everyone.

Now, if a random military commander or nobleman is picked out and has the right to destroy a whole family, how can he be an official in the Ming Dynasty?

This move is not to avenge the Lu family, but to protect ourselves and avoid suffering the same tragedy!

Compared with the anger of the generals and the fear of the civil servants, more people did not believe it.

The person who least believes all this is Chang Sen, the third eldest son of the Chang family.

When Chang Sen heard that his second brother had killed the entire Lu family, he was stunned and kept mumbling.

"impossible!"

"How can a timid person like my second brother do such a big thing!"

"This must be framed by someone to bully my second brother!"

Chang Sen immediately ran to the Lu family's old house on horseback, but when he went there it was already too late, and the place had been sealed off by Yingtian Mansion.

Chang Sen revealed his identity, thinking that the other party could be accommodating, but he thought that a person who looked like a scribe would be silenced with just one sentence.

"Your brother has already killed the entire Lu family. As a younger brother, do you want to kill him again?" "I..."

"Since you want to see it, then go in and have a look!"

"I declare in advance that you are not allowed to touch anything inside!"

Chang Sen's face turned red and white as he walked into Lu's house. When he saw the corpses strewn all over the courtyard, his head exploded with a bang.

But he still didn't want to believe that his second brother, who could happily eat cabbage and tofu all day long, could do such an earth-shattering thing!

Although the Chang family has always looked down on the Lu family, it can be said that there is no deep hatred between the two families.

Is my second brother stupid, or was he deceived by a female gangster to do such a thing?

But Chang Sen finally figured something out, and that was what the second brother said at the gate.

It turns out that the second brother was already determined to die and exchanged his own life for the Lu family...

"Second brother, why are you so stupid!"

The clerk on the side heard what the third master of the Chang family said in front of him, and thought that the Chang family finally had a person with a conscience.

However, when he heard Chang Sen's last words, he wanted to slap this guy in the face.

"Even if you want to kill someone, you can tell your brother and let him do it for you!"

"You are the backbone of our Chang family, how can you get yourself involved, wuwuwu..."

When the scribe heard what the third son of the Chang family said, he angrily ordered someone to coax him out.

The Chang family is so arrogant. If they say this in front of the corpses of more than a hundred members of the Lu family, they won't be afraid of being killed by evil spirits at night!

Chang Sen was pushed out by others. After he found out where his second brother was, he went directly to Yingtian Mansion Prison.

Song Yi, the governor of Yingtian Mansion, didn't want Chang Sen to visit him at first, but when he thought that this guy could be regarded as the future emperor's grandson's uncle, he turned a blind eye and allowed him to spend money to bribe the jailer.

When Chang Sen arrived at the prison, he found his eldest brother sitting on a pile of hay leaning against the wall, staring at the railing in a daze.

"Second brother..."

"Second brother!"

Chang Sen called out several times before waking up Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng saw Chang Sen and only asked one question.

"Is the Third Emperor's grandson awake?"

The Chang family has been marginalized for many years, and Chang Sen is an unknown concubine of the Chang family. His wives are all daughters of petty officials, so how can he know the secrets of the palace.

Therefore, when Chang Sen saw his elder brother's expectant inquiry, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"have no idea……"

"well!"

"Then you go back. I have already written a memorial and begged Your Majesty to pass on the title to you..."

When Chang Sen heard this, he knelt down in front of Chang Sheng with a plop. While crying, he crawled towards Chang Sheng, grabbed Chang Sheng's arm and shook it.

"Second brother!"

"If you have any grievances, just tell your brother. He is a useless person. Let him gamble his life with the Lu family!"

"Why do you bother to

Can you ride in by yourself?"

"If you die, what will you do to the second sister-in-law and the three children? Woohoo..."

Chang Sheng held Chang Sen's shoulders and spoke word by word.

"remember!"

"There is no useless person in the Chang family!"

"As a member of the Chang family, you are qualified to inherit your father's title and have the obligation to take good care of your two widowed sisters-in-law!"
