What else could Song Jintang say? Since Zhou Ze flatly denied that he had ever asked him to serve in official uniform, and even said that his credentials were forged, his explanations were of no use and no one would believe him.
What's more, now that Zhang Quan knows that he forged letters to frame him, he wants to kill himself immediately, right? If he still can't see that all this is Zhou Ze's intention, then he is really a fool.
But what he really couldn't figure out was that he had no enmity with Zhou Zhou, so why did Zhou Ze frame him like this?
Seeing that Song Jintang remained silent, Zhang Qiaoer felt very happy: "Song Jintang, you have nothing to say!"
"I really have nothing to say. If I said that this was a vicious plot set up by Mr. Zhou to frame me, I'm afraid others would think that I was too flattering to myself."
Zhang Qiaoer's eyes flashed with resentment, and she took a step forward: "Master Zhou enforces the law impartially, and the people's daughters admire him, but the people's daughter has a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"If a woman has made a marriage contract and lives in her husband's family, is she already a member of her husband's family?"
Zhou Ze thought for a while: "It should be considered so."
"So Wen Shaoxue is already engaged to Song Jintang, and she still lives in the Song family without knowing it. Should she also sit together?"
After hearing this, Song Jintang completely understood. His talk of taking back the Wen family's property to pave the way for their future life was just to hide him.
In fact, the real purpose was to use Zhang Qiaoer, a fool, to bring him down. Not only that, but also to let Wen Shaoxue sever ties with the Song family early to avoid being implicated later.
Song Jintang hated him so much. He regretted being blinded by temporary gains and trusting Zhou Ze, a sanctimonious bastard. He even hated Wen Shaoxue for cheating on him and plotting against him.
Zhou Ze walked down calmly: "Miss Zhang, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood something. Xue'er is my adopted sister and she followed me to the Song family as a guest. If they were engaged, it was in the past.
They have now terminated their engagement, so Xueer has nothing to do with the Song family."
"What?" Zhang Qiao'er was dumbfounded. It was clear that Song Jintang kept saying that they were engaged when they went there the day before, but today it turned out to be no relationship at all?
Zhou Ze did not stop there: "Mr. Zhang, it's like this. According to the law, the Song family's belongings should have been confiscated. But the Song family's house and some of the things in it were not purchased by the Wen family back then.
, now that the two of them have no engagement, so this part should be returned to Wen Shaoxue, the only legitimate daughter of the Wen family, do you think this is the case? "
At this time, Zhang Quan also saw that Mr. Zhou had made a special trip to ask for something for Wen Shaoxue. But since the other party had just given him a favor and took out the letter Song Jintang wrote to him and returned it to him, then he now
At this time, of course, we should reciprocate the favor.
"Master Zhou is right. It is natural to pay back debts. Since these things belong to the Wen family, of course they should be taken back by Miss Wen."
Zhang Qiaoer didn't expect that not only would this not have any bad influence on Wen Shaoxue, but she would also get a large amount of money, which was enough to break her silver teeth. However, her father was still laughing in front of her.
Even though she agreed, she didn't dare to say anything.
Whether it was privately making official uniforms, slandering his superiors, or even trying to bite the imperial officials, this was a serious crime. Song Jintang knew that he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison, but he thought that he was still rich half a month ago.
A powerful local official who could intimidate one party has now become someone else's prisoner. How can he be content with this?
Song Jintang gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Ze and Wen Shaoxue standing on top. Yes, it was the two of them. If it weren't for them, how could he be like this?
Song Jintang didn't hear what the prefect said above. He only knew that he was filled with anger and wanted to drag these two people together even if he wanted to die.
Zhou Ze didn't notice Song Jintang's situation at all. The matter was over and they were about to leave. When he walked to Song Jintang, he suddenly took out a dagger and rushed towards Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze, a weak scholar, obviously never thought that such a situation would happen, and was stunned for a moment. Wen Shaoxue, a weak woman, was even more at a loss.
Lin Chong saw the tip of the knife heading towards Zhou Ze. In a hurry, he recalled the moves he had made when fighting with others before, and kicked Song Jintang's hand hard. This kick was both hard and accurate. Song Jintang let go of his hand and used the dagger.
It has already reached Lin Chong's hands.
Only then did a group of government officials surround Song Jintang and restrain him. His eyes were red and dilated, and he no longer looked like a human being at all.
Zhou Ze looked at the knife in Lin Chong's hand and felt scared. He was not in the mood to listen to Song Jintang's treatment anymore. He accompanied Wen Shaoxue to get the land deed and separate the things for her to pack.
The night before leaving, Lin Chong thought for a long time and finally went to find Wen Shaoxue. He hesitated for a moment before asking: "We are leaving. Have you thought about what to do next?"
Wen Shaoxue lowered his head and whispered: "I want to sell the things here, because I may never come to this place again. Can I ask Mr. Lin, what is your identity?"
Lin Chong scratched his head: "Why do you ask that?"
"Young Master Zhou is the Minister of Rites, which is already a very big official for people like us. If it weren't for this chance, I might never have the chance to meet such a big man in my life. But Young Master Lin, you and Zhou
When adults are together, they don't show as much fear and respect as ordinary people do. On the contrary, you use them more often."
"Well... I don't have an official position. As for what you said, maybe it's because we have a good relationship. We usually stay together like this, and maybe we don't have that feeling of awe."
Wen Shaoxue nodded in understanding, as if she mustered up a lot of courage: "Mr. Lin, can I go with you?"
"Come with us? Do you know where we are going?" Lin Chong was stunned.
Wen Shaoxue shook his head: "I don't know, but now I don't know where I should go or where else I can go. I want to go out for a walk with you. Maybe somewhere I go, I stop and don't want to leave anymore.
By then I will have found my destination."
Lin Chong scratched his head, but then he thought about it. The relationship between Wen Shaoxue and Zhou Ze these days was not normal. If the two men were interested in having a concubine, he would not be able to be the one in the middle.
Besides, even if he brought two more people, as long as he could increase the speed, it wouldn't be a big deal. After Lin Chong symbolically discussed it with several other people, they naturally didn't dare to have any objections.
So the group of six people became a group of eight people, and they set off in a mighty manner.
