After coming to the capital, Jin Mucong had been very obedient.
He had done everything that Shen Lang had told him to do.
Don't go to the brothel. Be careful that others harm you.
Don't go out to eat with others. Be careful that others harm you.
No matter who you meet on the streets, be it an old lady, an old man, or a beautiful woman, don't bother.
Either stay in the Directorate or go to the Fifth Prince Ning Zheng's residence. Don't go out to play.
You can make friends in the Directorate, but don't go out to play alone.
Kaneki Satoshi had been doing this for the past few months.
Even if he was a very playful person.
But in his heart, he knew that he must not cause trouble for his family or brother-in-law.
After "Battle Through the Heavens: Boundless Wind and Moon" became popular, Jin Mucong also became famous.
Almost every day, people would go to the Directorate to urge him to write. Many bad students became his fans, even though there was no such word in this world.
Jin Mucong had countless readers and fans.
But he only had one friend!
This person was the shopkeeper of Tianfeng Bookstore, Yu Fang.
He was also the person who helped Jin Mucong publish books.
Yu Fang had five bookstores in the capital. His business wasn't big.
Moreover, this was the capital, and the competition for bookstores was very fierce. Yu Fang's business was average, and he only made a small profit.
Of course, even if he made a small profit, he lived a good life, with a net profit of a few hundred gold coins every year.
Although he couldn't be considered rich, he lived a comfortable life.
But a storm last year caused him to lose a large sum of money.
"Legend of the East".
This was the number one book in the Great Yan Dynasty. It talked about the legendary story of the strongest person in the world, the Emperor of the Great Gan Kingdom, Jiang Li.
This book had a total of ten volumes, with a total of 1.5 million words.
It sold at an astronomical figure in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. No one knew the exact figure, but it was definitely an unprecedented record.
In the future, no one would be able to break it, not even the books written by Shen Lang.
More than ten years ago, the Emperor of the Great Yan Empire decreed that no country could publicly sell "Legend of the East".
Since then, this book had become a banned book.
Zhang Chong was right about one thing. What book in the world was the most popular?
Of course it was to ban books.
So for the past ten years, almost every bookstore had been secretly selling copies of the Legend of the East.
Yu Fang's Tianfeng Bookstore was no exception.
It had been so many years, and the imperial court had turned a blind eye to it.
After all, this was not the Great Yan Empire.
However, last year, a prince of the Great Yan Empire visited the Yue Kingdom to observe the situation of the people. He discovered that many bookstores on the streets were still secretly selling the 'Legend of the East'. Hence, the prince was furious.
Then, the entire State of Yue began a major operation.
Countless bailiffs rushed into the bookstore and burned all the copies of the Legend of the Eastern Li.
Not only that, once a bookstore with the Legend of the East is found, a heavy fine will be imposed.
Of course, those booksellers who had eyes and ears all over the world had already received the news and had already moved the 'Legend of the East' to somewhere else.
As for Yu Fang from Tianfeng Book Club, he belonged to the category of people who had no backing or background.
The 10,000 copies of 《Legend of the East》 were all confiscated and burned.
That was nothing.
More importantly, he was fined a thousand gold coins.
Even that was nothing.
What really hurt him was the extortion from the officials. Every minor official in the county government had extorted him.
He was extorted of a total of 8,000 gold coins.
That was all the money he had left.
Those officials were like this, sucking the marrow out of your bones. They would not let you off until you were completely drained.
Therefore, Yu Fang was considered bankrupt.
Coupled with the fact that his recent books were all flops, he was at his wit's end.
It was also at this time that the guru Jin Mucong arrived at the capital.
He brought along the manuscript and looked for a bookstore to publish 《Boundless Wind and Moon》.
Their previous book 《Boundless Wind and Moon of Jin X Plum》 was simply too popular. The pen name Xiaoxiao Sheng of Langling meant sales.
Therefore, when the news of Jin Mucong publishing a book spread, the doorstep was immediately trampled.
Almost all the booksellers swarmed over, waving their gold coins.
The conditions were higher than the previous, and they were even willing to pay a loss.
Why?
That was because whoever published this book would have their brand become popular, and it would be able to boost the sales of other books.
Do you know how many copies of 《Boundless Wind and Moon of Jin X Plum》 were sold in the State of Yue?
A total of 200,000 copies!
That was an astronomical figure.
Yu Fang of the Tianfeng Bookstore was the poorest of all the booksellers who came to Jin Mucong, and the conditions he offered were also the lowest.
He was really at his wit's end, so he came to try his luck.
However, he did not expect that the kind-hearted Jin Mucong would choose Yu Fang.
Because he was the most miserable!
In the end …
《Boundless Wind and Moon of Jin X Plum》 was indeed a hit.
Countless officials and nobles who bought it cursed and shouted that they had been tricked. Some even burned the book.
It destroyed the image of Xiaoxiao Sheng of Lang Ling in their hearts.
But there was also a group of people who loved 《Boundless Wind and Moon of Jin X Plum》.
Literate youngsters, martial artists, and literate peddlers and pawns were simply intoxicated by this book.
Three months after it was published, it sold more than 100,000 copies.
Just in the capital alone, it sold 30,000 copies.
Yu Fang made a fortune!
Just from this book, he earned more than 2,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to the profits of the past few years.
This was not a big deal, the key was that it greatly improved the reputation of the Tianfeng Bookstore.
And it also led to the sales of other books.
Many rich merchants invested in his bookstore, helping him expand.
In just three short months, the number of bookstores in the capital had increased from five to fifteen.
Moreover, the expansion in other counties was also carried out in an orderly manner.
So although the direct profits from this book were not very big, the indirect profits were huge, allowing him to rise from a bottom bookseller to the top.
Because Jin Mucong said that this 《Boundless Wind and Moon of Jin X Plum》 had more than 5 million words, and could produce more than 30 copies.
He was going to make a fortune!
Therefore, Yu Fang was very grateful to Kaneki Satoshi.
Jin Mucong had completely saved his business, and saved his family.
It was a huge favor.
Moreover, Jin Mucong was born into a noble family, and had no interest in money, so the commission for this book was not high at all.
Yu Fang was even more grateful to him.
Countless times, he invited Jin Mucong to his home as a guest, and treated him to a home-cooked meal.
Jin Mucong remembered his brother-in-law's words, and other than the Fifth Prince's family, he would not eat from anyone else's house.
Yu Fang invited him dozens of times.
But Jin Mucong did not go.
So, Yu Fang came to the Imperial College every day to chat with Jin Mucong.
They talked about everything in the world, and it was very congenial.
The two of them became close friends.
This was the first friend that Jin Mucong made.
Yesterday, Yu Fang invited Jin Mucong to his home for a meal, but Jin Mucong listened to his brother-in-law's words and refused again.
Yu Fang expressed his understanding, but he looked very depressed.
He even showed a trace of inferiority, saying that he was impulsive. Jin Mucong was the Heir of the Count House, and he was about to become the Heir of the Marquis's Mansion. How could he associate with a businessman?
Then, Jin Mucong also knew that yesterday was Yu Fang's mother's birthday, and his family had started preparing in the morning. They made a table full of good dishes, and they only invited Jin Mucong as a guest.
If Jin Mucong did not go, how sad would Yu Fang's family be?
How could they eat this table full of good dishes?
So, Kaneki Satoshi, who was softhearted, agreed to help.
After all, they had been dating for a few months, and they were very close friends.
After going to Yu Fang's house.
The whole family was very affectionate to him, as if they were family.
This made Jin Mucong, who had been away from home for a few months, feel very warm.
This table full of good dishes was really delicious. Jin Mucong ate very happily, and even drank two cups of wine.
Then …
He felt a little dizzy, and his whole body was hot.
Of course, the wine was drugged.
At the time, he didn't understand why.
But he instinctively felt danger, so he got up and wanted to leave.
In the end, Yu Fang helped him into the room and laid him down on the bed.
When Jin Mucong woke up again.
He was lying on a woman's body.
That gentle and beautiful woman was crying.
Her body was covered in traces of being ravaged.
Even Jin Mucong was at a negative distance from her at this time.
And this woman was Yu Fang's wife, Miss Chen.
A weak and shy woman. She was thirty-one years old this year, and she was very beautiful.
Just like this, Jin Mucong's first, second, third, fourth, and fifth times were all revealed.
When he turned around, he saw Yu Fang, who looked like he was about to eat someone, and the old mother of the Yu Family, as well as many people present.
He saw everything with his own eyes.
Even Jin Mucong was on top of Miss Chen.
The old mother of the Yu Family fainted on the spot.
Yu Fang's wife, Miss Chen, rushed out of bed naked and slammed into the wall. She wanted to use suicide to wash away the shame.
Of course, she didn't have enough strength and didn't die, but she was covered in blood.
Then she began to cry. When she entered the room to give Jin Mucong the sobering soup, Jin Mucong turned into a beast and raped her.
He was a martial artist. Miss Chen expressed that she was weak and couldn't resist at all.
She could only be ravaged by him again and again.
She struggled so hard that she was covered in bruises.
Yu Fang's eyes were filled with tears as he pointed at Jin Mucong and roared, "I treat you as a brother, but you dare to rape my wife? The hatred of humiliating my wife is irreconcilable! "
Instantly, Jin Mucong's body turned cold.
He really never thought that the human heart would be this sinister.
What kind of kindness did he have for Yu Fang? Not only did he save his business, he gave him great wealth, and it could even be said that he saved his life.
In the end, this was how he repaid him?
He actually used such a despicable method to frame him?
Most importantly, that was his legally married wife. How could he be willing to take her out and ruin her like this?
How much benefit did someone give him?
Not only did Yu Fang frame his benefactor, but he also sacrificed his wife's innocence?
How could a person be this shameless?
After that, Yu Fang reported to the authorities.
The Wan Nian County's bailiffs came quickly and directly took Jin Mucong away.
Jin Mucong was imprisoned!
The whole process was almost seamless.
When Jin Mucong's entourage saw this, he immediately ran to the Fifth Prince Ning Zheng's residence to ask for help.
Ning Zheng was instantly furious!
This kind of method was too despicable and dirty.
He went to the Wan Nian County's office that night and asked for Yu Fang from the Wan Nian County Magistrate.
… …
Most of the Castellans in the State of Yue were sixth or seventh rank.
There were two counties in the capital, Pingan County and Wan Nian County.
The Pingan County Magistrate had a higher status. The Wan Nian County Magistrate was a secondary fifth rank.
Compared to ordinary Castellans, he was one or two ranks higher.
So who was this Wan Nian County Magistrate?
Shen Lang's old lover and enemy, the former Minister of the Supreme Court, Wang Qike.
He was the official who went with Zhu Wenhua to Xuan Wu Mansion to arrest Shen Lang. He was charged with murdering Viscount Zhu Lanting.
Of course, Shen Lang pretended to have smallpox, so the arrest was not settled.
Later, Wang Qike was frightened for several days. He was sure that Shen Lang was pretending to have smallpox, so he regarded it as a great shame.
Recently, he was promoted!
From a secondary sixth rank Minister of the Supreme Court to a secondary fifth rank Wan Nian County Magistrate.
This Wan Nian County Magistrate was incredible.
He was an official under the Monarch's rule. He held great power in his hands and was even more prestigious than some remote prefectures.
Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the Fifth Prince Ning Zheng.
After all, he was a son detested by the Monarch. He had no power or influence in his hands, so what?
… …
In the Wan Nian County Magistrate, although Ning Zheng was very angry, his expression was very calm.
"Lord Wang, no matter who is behind this matter, I will not pursue it. Let him go."
Of course, Ning Zheng knew that it was a critical moment for the Kim family recently.
The Monarch was about to confer the title of Marquis to Jin Zhuo.
As a result, Jin Mucong was immediately in trouble, and it was such a scandal.
When he was a guest in someone else's house, he forcibly defiled someone else's wife. It was more than bullying, it was simply insane.
Ning Zheng could imagine that the memorials to impeach Xu Anwu would fly into the palace like snowflakes tomorrow.
The Jin Clan's discipline wasn't strict, that's why such a scandal occurred.
How could such a filthy family have the face to be promoted to Marquis?
After Wan Nian County Magistrate Wang Qike saluted Ning Zheng, he said, "Your Fifth Highness must be joking. I am just handling this matter impartially. I have not found any conspiracy for the time being. You think too much."
Ning Zheng's eyes narrowed.
"Lord … Lord Wang, are you really not going to let him go?"
Under anger, Ning Zheng stuttered a little.
Wan Nian County Magistrate Wang Qike sneered in his heart. With your stuttering, you will never be able to get the position.
Don't think that just because you are the son of the Monarch, you can force me to put on airs.
You are a powerless waste. If I respect you, I will treat you as the son of the Monarch. If I don't respect you, you are nothing.
"Jin Mucong, as a son of a noble family, did not set an example but did such a crazy thing. It is simply shocking. If I let him go, how can I explain it to the Monarch, how can I explain it to the people of the world, how can I explain it to the innocent woman who was humiliated?"
"Your Fifth Highness, I advise you not to meddle in things that you shouldn't meddle in!"
The meaning of humiliation in this sentence was very obvious.
Ning Zheng was about to explode in an instant.
As the son of the Monarch, you, a mere Wan Nian County Magistrate, want to ride on my head?
I, Ning Zheng, only live my own life and never fight with others. How dare you humiliate me like this?
I, the son of the Monarch, can't even protect a cousin?
In an instant!
Ning Zheng really felt the preciousness of power, and the sadness of power.
If it were other princes, even if it was Ning Zhen or Ning Jing here, the Wan Nian County Magistrate would have already knelt on the ground, not daring to show any disrespect.
But to him, Ning Zheng, he dared to directly humiliate him.
No matter what, I, Ning Zheng, am the son of Su Fei, of noble birth.
Ning Zheng endured the humiliation and said: "How does Lord Wang plan to deal with Jin Mucong?"
Wang Qike said: "This matter is not up to me. But once it is thoroughly investigated and the evidence is conclusive, the crime of raping an innocent woman, according to the Great Yue law, will be punished by corruption."
Ning Zheng's temple suddenly twitched.
What corruption punishment?
It is castration, also known as castration.
The legendary confiscation of criminal tools.
Saying such words is a life and death enmity!
Taking a deep look at the Wan Nian County Magistrate Wang Qike, Ning Zheng left and returned home!
… …
Ning Zheng's mansion, in the middle of the night.
Shen Lang originally wanted to visit Ning Zheng tomorrow morning, but did not expect such a big thing to happen, so he came to visit in the middle of the night.
"Shen Lang pays respect to the Fifth Highness!"
Arriving at this mansion, Shen Lang was really surprised.
The place where Ning Zheng lives is too shabby, just a few acres.
The Monarch only gave him such a small mansion?
It is even smaller than the Kim clan's courtyard.
This is the son of the Monarch, a real prince.
This Fifth Prince, how unfavored was he to this extent?
He has been an adult for a long time, but has not been conferred any title.
Ning Jing is about to be conferred a title, but Ning Zheng's title is still far away, as if it is impossible for him to be conferred a title in this lifetime.
Ning Zheng's treatment really made Shen Lang indignant.
Ning Zheng looked at Shen Lang with a complicated gaze, then bowed and said: "Ning Zheng is ashamed, I have the obligation to take care of Jin Mucong, but in the end, I let him be imprisoned, and failed aunt's entrustment. “
Shen Lang: "Your Highness has been to the Wannian County Government?"
"Yes." Ning Zheng said: "The County Magistrate Wang Qike is not willing to let him go."
Shen Lang: "Your Highness must have been humiliated."
Suddenly, Ning Zheng's face turned red. He usually stayed at home, unwilling to deal with people, because he didn't want to see people's faces.
The humiliation he suffered today is simply unforgettable. The Wannian County Magistrate is like a slap to his face.
Fifth Prince Ning Zheng said: "I, I don't care if I am humiliated, the key … the key is how to get through this crisis. Father is about to confer the title of Marquis on uncle. At this critical moment, something happened to Jin Mucong, it will completely delay the conferment! "
Whenever he was angry, nervous, Ning Zheng would stutter.
Shen Lang: "I can imagine, tomorrow morning, there will be countless impeachment memorials flying into the palace, impeaching my Kim family, and Jin Mucong will lose his reputation. Someone is deliberately trying to destroy the Kim family, they don't want the Monarch to confer the title of Marquis on my family. "
Ning Zheng said: "The opponent is too despicable!"
"No, I don't think so." Shen Lang shook his head and said: "Since it's the enemy, there is nothing despicable about it. This time, it's probably from the Su clan. Their revenge is really fast."
Ning Zheng said: "Our time is very tight. We have to solve this matter before dawn, otherwise it will be too late!"
Indeed!
The difficulty of this matter was not only to rescue Jin Mucong.
But also to prevent the whole thing from fermenting.
To put it bluntly, it was to prevent the officials from impeaching the Kim family.
However, the other party had already prepared everything. Before they caught Jin Mucong, the impeachment memorials had already been written.
Tomorrow, there would definitely be a huge storm of public opinion.
Countless saliva would instantly drown the Xuan Wu Mansion.
Jin Mucong would lose his reputation.
Even Shen Lang would not be able to escape the saliva. Everything about him would be dug out.
If nothing unexpected happened, there would even be people besieging the Kim clan's courtyard tomorrow.
Ning Zheng said: "If we want to rescue Jin Mucong and solve this problem before dawn, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
It was indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Even as if it was impossible.
The other party had already prepared everything.
There was no way to stop it.
The Su clan was really fast.
As soon as Shen Lang entered the capital, they made their move.
Fast, accurate, ruthless, and vicious!
Moreover, there was no bottom line.
It was very in line with the Su clan's style.
Ning Zheng said: "There are less than three hours before dawn. If we want to find evidence in this time to clear Jin Mucong's guilt and prove his innocence, it will be too difficult."
Shen Lang shook his head disdainfully.
"Find evidence? Prove Jin Mucong's innocence? No, no, no. "Shen Lang said:" Your Fifth Highness, this will fall into the enemy's rhythm. Jin Mucong was caught on the bed on the spot, and when he woke up, he was still in Yu Fang's wife's body, so he can't be innocent. "
"The key is, we don't need to prove Jin Mucong's innocence at all."
"In the face of such despicable means, there is no need to follow the rules."
"The key is not to prove Jin Mucong's innocence, but to solve this problem from the root."
Ning Zheng said: "I'd like to hear the details!"
Shen Lang: "First, the first step is to make a false accusation. If the enemy is shameless, then we will be more shameless than him!"
"The second step is also the most crucial step, to prevent countless Imperial Censors from impeaching the Kim family, and to prevent the birth of a storm of public opinion."
"My Kim family is very popular. If such a scandal happens, it will certainly cause an explosion of public opinion. So how can we stop it? "
"Not only is it simple, but it will also create an even more shocking incident that will shock the entire capital. It will attract everyone's attention and anger, so that everyone's attention will be diverted to this matter. They will no longer be in the mood to pay attention to Kaneki Satoshi's rape."
"Force all the Imperial Censors to hide the memorials to impeach Jin Mucong, and replace them with the impeachment memorials I want. Even if they are unwilling, they must do this, because this is related to the face of the State of Yue, and it is absolutely politically correct. "
"The third step is to kill Yu Fang's entire family, kill the county magistrate Wang Qike, and give the Sus family a hard slap in the face."
"This battle is very sudden, but since it has started, we must fight to the end."
"Kill everyone who dares to stand out!"
"This Yu Huan's entire family must die!"
"Your Fifth Highness, when it comes to political battles, you must not fall into the enemy's rhythm, and do not fight on the enemy's home ground."
"You fight your battles, I fight mine, martial arts lies outside of poetry!"
Ning Zheng was shocked!
It was said that the son-in-law of the Xuan Wu Mansion was almost demonic in intelligence, and now he had seen it for himself.
It was really a case of one step, three steps, four steps!
And his methods were vicious, killing the enemy's entire family at the slightest provocation.
Ning Zheng said, "Can it be done?"
Shen Lang said, "It's in the bag, my men have already gone to do it. Tomorrow morning, there will be a major incident that will shock the entire capital, the entire State of Yue, and the world will be shocked. " “
"I'm going to Wannian County now to meet my old flame, Wang Qike."
"I'm so excited, I've just arrived at the capital, and there's already a battle to fight."
"Fighting with others is endless joy!"
Ning Zheng was speechless!
He had thought that it was a huge problem, a huge dilemma.
But in the end, not only did Shen Lang not feel uneasy or afraid, he was actually excited, and even had a murderous heart.
This person is really a demon!
Shen Lang left, his murderous aura aching, and headed to Wannian County Yamen.
So excited!
I, Shen Lang's first knife in the capital, have actually begun so soon.
I'm going to create a major incident.
I'm going to kill someone, so excited.
Fat Otaku, I don't blame you! Just stay in jail for a while, and watch how your brother-in-law sets off a storm in the capital.
How to kill an entire family!
… …
