He just had a clear conscience, but he couldn't do that.

My uncle has cousins, and I can’t let them get involved.

Mr. Chen returned home and the maid quickly served him tea and snacks.

Mr. Chen picked up the teacup and started drinking. After finishing it, he pulled a beautiful maid beside him into his arms and started to do something naughty with her.

"Master." A beautiful woman walked in.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Chen did not restrain himself.

The beautiful woman was Mr. Chen's concubine, and she gave birth to a son for him.

"Erlang is still kneeling outside. He is trying to force the master."

Mr. Chen chuckled a few times and said, "If he likes to kneel, just let him kneel. Then, later, you can say that I fainted because I was irritated by this unfilial son."

outside

Everyone was pointing fingers at Chen Erlang, and when they found out that he had made Mr. Chen faint from anger, the gossip became even more unbridled.

"What an ungrateful person."

"Yes, Mr. Chen raised them, but they are only close to their grandparents. They even teamed up with them to bully their father. They are really not human."

"What a ruthless person! Mr. Chen is such a good man, but he was treated like this by his two sons. I heard that they even asked Mr. Chen for money. They didn't even think about who they ate and drank from all these years."

"Some people are like this, they only think about themselves and are selfish."

Erlang listened to everyone's discussion about him and wanted to refute loudly. He wanted to say, are you sure you are talking about Mr. Chen, whom you respect?

It's really funny. Everyone knows that things are definitely not as they see them, but they still believe in what they believe as always.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

"The government is doing business, all outsiders please get out of the way."

After a burst of noise, a dozen yamen runners suddenly appeared here, and everyone quickly made way for them to pass.

Some people whispered, "Did Chen Erlang also commit a crime?"

"Definitely is."

"Are you Chen Erlang?" Zhu You asked.

Chen Erlang was stunned for a moment, then laughed sarcastically and said, "Yes."

He also thought that these people were here to arrest him.

"Get out of the way and don't delay us from catching him," said Zhu You.

After being stunned for a while, Chen Erlang quickly got up and made way for them.

When the bailiffs went in, the discussions outside became even louder.

Mr. Chen was brought out after a while. When he was taken out, his clothes were disheveled and there was lip balm on his face. It was obvious what he had been doing in there.

Ha ha

She just said that she fainted because of anger from her son, but the truth was that she was having fun inside while her son was kneeling outside.

Everyone looked at Mr. Chen with amusement in their eyes.

"My servant was changing my clothes in there just now, so... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." After Mr. Chen finished explaining, he began to tidy up his clothes, not caring whether everyone believed him or not.

A man quickly stopped Zhu You and said, "Who are you? Who told you to arrest Mr. Chen? What did he do wrong? Do you have any evidence? If you arrest people without any evidence, I will make you pay for it."

Zhu You chuckled, "Who are you? Are you in cahoots with him? Then take him away together."

"My son is the nephew of the prefect." The servant behind the man looked arrogant.

"It's okay, I haven't done anything harmful to others, I'm not afraid." Mr. Chen was still calm.

"Sir, I know you are innocent. They must want to frame you. Don't be afraid. I won't let you get caught. I'm here. I wonder who dares to arrest anyone." The prefect's nephew looked at Zhu You coldly.

If it were in the past, Zhu You would definitely be afraid and might have immediately apologized profusely.

But nowadays, everyone has a backer. Is he the only one who has a backer? Without a backer, who would dare to arrest someone?

"When the government is doing business, all outsiders should stay out of the way, otherwise they will be treated as accomplices." Zhu You said righteously.

The nephew of the prefect couldn't believe that even after he revealed his identity, he still dared to look down on him like this. Did he have eyes that were too big for his head?

"you…"

"Get out of the way!" The two yamen runners behind Zhu You pushed him away.

"I wonder what my father has done wrong?" Chen Erlang had already retreated to the side. Seeing that these yamen runners were not afraid of the prefect's nephew at all, he felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

"Chen Ang committed many crimes, the most serious of which were killing his first wife, defiling a decent girl, framing others, and causing students who disagreed with him to be imprisoned."

As soon as Zhu You finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

Everyone looked at Mr. Chen with scrutiny. They didn't expect that Mr. Chen, who is so upright and respected, would be such a person.

Killing wife?

Defile a decent woman?

And framed many students?

They knew that Mr. Chen was not as bright and handsome as everyone saw him to be, but they also did not expect him to have such a corrupt character.

"You are talking nonsense, the gentleman is not that kind of person!"

"That's right, why do you want to wrongly accuse the gentleman?"

"Sir, you are so knowledgeable and talented, how could you possibly do these things?"

Several young students nearby protested indignantly and refused to let them take Chen Ang away. The prefect's nephew even asked people to go to the school and call all the students over, saying that the magistrate had wronged Mr. Chen and everyone should protect him.

Everyone took action immediately, and Zhu You and the others watched in silence.

However, thinking of the instructions from the county lord and the adults, they did not stop them.

Chen Ang was still talking to those students in a righteous manner.

"Don't panic. I, Chen Ang, have never done anything. No matter how they threaten or bribe me, it won't work."

"Sir, how could someone who loves his wife so much kill her?"

"Yes, last time I saw the master burning incense for his wife alone on a rainy day. The man and his wife were deeply in love..."

Chen Erlang looked at the student who was talking, with a sarcastic look on his face. A loving couple? What a joke.

"Yes, Mr. Chen visits Mrs. Chen's grave every year. Mrs. Chen has passed away for so many years, but Mr. Chen has not remarried. It's because he can't let go of Mrs. Chen."

"Yes, yes."

Mr. Chen looked sad and said, "I have promised my wife that I will not find a stepmother for Dalang and his family and let them call someone else mother."

"Mr. Chen is really affectionate."

"gentlemen…"

"gentlemen…"

As they were talking, a dozen students came running over and surrounded Mr. Chen. The yamen runners were also pushed aside by them.

"What do you want to do? Don't interfere with official business." Zhu You scolded.

"You are just a small yamen runner, why don't you leave quickly? We will let you go this time, but if you dare to disrespect the teacher again next time, don't blame us for being rude to you." said the students.

Zhu You chuckled a few times, "Do you know what Mr. Chen did? You still defend him like this. You really can't tell good from evil. Have you gone to school for nothing all these years?"

"It's you who wronged Mr. Chen. He didn't do those things, right, Mr. Chen?"

Before Chen Ang could answer, Zhu You asked him, "Mr. Chen, when you brought your mistress home, Mrs. Chen didn't agree to let her in, so you murdered her, didn't you?"
