Chapter 925 How Shameless (Second Update)

The head of the Shentu family snorted and said: "We, the three great families of the gods, will all be prosperous and suffer losses!"

"Although they are not direct descendants of our three major families, they all share the same surname."

"Even if you are a beast from our three major families, you cannot tolerate being trampled by outsiders!"

"Pass my order, please immediately invite the heads of the Sima family and the Helian family to come over for a talk!"

The head of the Shentu family waved his sleeves and left.

He returned to the main manor house of his family within the city walls.

Last night, he was sleeping in Thirteenth Aunt's yard, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly found the call of the true god in the secret room, and he immediately rushed back.

But after returning, the calling of the True God stopped.

He prayed for a long time, but received no response, and was already thinking about the clues in his mind.

Thinking of what happened in the secret room last night and what happened again today, the head of the Shentu family felt faintly uneasy.

After he left, the Shentu family's investigation into the murder of Master Shentu and the other seven masters also started intensively.

Not long after, several women, old and young, dressed in gold and silver, came to the gate of the city wall and wept mournfully over the corpse hanging on the wall.

These are all their sons or husbands. They were fine yesterday, but today they are dead on the cold city wall.

The chief steward of the Shentu family who was responsible for investigating this matter waited patiently for these women to finish crying before he started questioning them.

"Shentu must be your son, right? Do you know what he did yesterday?"

The oldest woman cried and said, "My husband has always been law-abiding and has never done anything bad!"

"Who dares to kill me, the son of the Shentu family?! Chief steward, you must find the murderer and avenge my son!"

The chief steward frowned, thinking a little irritably that a young man from a distant family would die as soon as he died, and he still had to find the murderer to take revenge...

This old woman really dares to think!

However, this woman does have some eloquence.

While she was crying, she said: "Our Shentu family is one of the three great families of the gods in the Kingdom of Beloved!"

"And it is the most powerful family of God's Favored Ones!"

"Even if our family is just a distant branch of the Shentu family, those untouchables can't do anything!"

"Those untouchables can kill my son today, if I don't teach them a lesson, tomorrow they will directly attack the Shentu family!"

"If you let it go, you might take action against your family in the future!"

The chief steward shouted sharply: "Be careful what you say!"

"You dare to make trouble against the head of the family and risk your life?!"

"Besides, I just asked your son what he did yesterday. What do you mean by talking about so many things?"

"How do you know it was those low-class people who killed your son?"

Only then did the woman say bitterly: "My son has always been honest, law-abiding, and has never done anything illegal!"

"Yesterday, he just followed the rules of the Shentu family and went to the lower-class tenant slaves to exercise his right to the first night!"

"As a result, he didn't return home all night, and this morning, he was beaten to death and hung on the city wall!"

"It must have been done by that untouchable who exercised his right to have the first night!"

"Chief steward, you must ask their whole family to bury my son with him!"

When the chief steward heard this, he immediately said, "Are you sure? Exercising the right of first night is the legitimate right of men of the Shentu family."

"These low-class tenant slaves of the Shentu family have long been accustomed to it. How could they..."

The chief steward was very dissatisfied with what the woman said.

Because in the view of the chief steward, it was a very common thing for a lord to exercise the right of first night to the tenant slaves in his territory.

Not only did the three major families of God's Favored Ones not take it seriously, but even the tenant slaves in their respective territories took it for granted.

In some tenant slave families, if their daughters are beautiful, they will be given directly to the lord's family. Even if they are to be maids, it is much better than digging in the soil for a lifetime.

The men of the three God-favored families are also used to the fact that all women in the territory belong to them.

Not to mention the first night, even if you have been married for many years, you can sleep whenever you want.

It's just that if a child is born, they won't recognize it.

And the children born in this way by the sharecroppers would almost drown to death.

So when the woman said that it was the tenant slave who had exercised the right of first night, and killed the distant and remote Prince Shentu, the chief steward really didn't believe it.

But this is the only clue.

Because it is said that apart from this incident, Master Shentu did not do anything else.

The chief steward thought for a while and said, "Which restaurant should I go to to exercise my right to have the first night?"

The woman said: "Yesterday I heard that the Meng family, a tenant slave in the consular area, was married to the Mo family."

"My son went to Meng's house to exercise his right to the first night."

The chief steward thought that it was the son of the Meng family who was getting married to the daughter of the Mo family.

He turned around and told his subordinates: "Go and investigate."

…

Soon, the results of the investigation came out.

Yesterday, the son of the Meng family and the daughter of the Mo family got married, and many people knew about it.

Because the Meng family's son has been an orphan since he was a child.

His father and mother had died long ago, and he was raised by his father's sworn brothers.

When we got married yesterday, almost everyone in the village went.

Then the son of the Shentu family brought seven friends to the Meng family to exercise the right of first night together...

The Meng family's son and the Mo family's daughter were not angry and took advantage of others' unpreparedness to escape together.

Young Master Shentu and his seven friends chased him out.

Then, the sons of the Meng family and the daughters of the Mo family came back, but the Shentu family's son and his seven friends were killed and hung on the main entrance of the Shentu family's city wall.

After Master Shentu's mother heard this, she loudly said, "I think they are just these low-class tenant slaves!"

"They killed my son! The chief steward must avenge my son!"

The chief steward looked at his subordinates and his face became serious: "Have you asked the Meng family's son and the Mo family's daughter?"

"Are they murderers?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "After asking, they all said that they were forced into the forbidden forest by Master Shentu, and then... after Master Shentu exercised his right to stay in the first night, he took the people away."

"They come home very late because they feel too embarrassed to go back."

"After running so far, I still got caught..."

The chief steward nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, they may not be the murderers."

The subordinate also said: "What the manager said makes sense. I also checked the physical fitness of the men from the Meng family and the women from the Mo family. They are ordinary people and have never practiced magic."

"The two of them alone can't defeat eight strong men with blunderbuss."

"Not to mention that after killing them, they can still be hung on the city wall."

The chief steward said: "Do you think the murderer is not the son of the Meng family and the daughter of the Mo family?"

The subordinate said: "Definitely not."

The chief steward frowned.

If these two are not the murderers, then the real murderer may have some background...

Thinking of the trouble of continuing to pursue, and what if the killer behind the scenes, the big manager like him, is resented by the other party?

The opponent is so powerful, but he is old and frail and is no match at all.

Of course, the most important thing is that the dead Master Shentu has no status at all in the Shentu family.

He is not a direct descendant of the head of the family, nor is he a direct descendant of the powerful parties of the Shentu family.

It's just a distant branch, just mess with it and that's it.

Why must we pursue the real murderer?

Isn’t there a ready-made scapegoat now?

At this time, Master Shentu's mother shouted: "Why is he not the murderer?!"

"I think they are the murderers!"

"My son was killed by them because he was exercising his right to the first night!"

"I want them to bury my son with him!"

The chief steward nodded: "Since you ask so, I have no choice but to obey."

He said to his subordinates: "Take five hundred guards and five thousand slave soldiers to the village where the Meng family and the Mo family are located."

"The Meng family, the Mo family, and their entire village are sitting together!"

"They were all trampled to death by horses! Give Shen Tu a son and be buried with him!"

The subordinate couldn't bear it, but when the chief steward looked at him, he had no choice but to lower his head and say, "Yes, chief steward."

Shen Tuding's mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Chief Steward, for redressing my son's injustice!"

She smiled ferociously and said: "The one named Meng, the one named Mo, I want your two families to have no descendants! They will die a good death!"

…

Xia Chujian woke up the next morning and was thinking about whether to go back to the forbidden forest, bring some of the food she had not eaten, and eat with the young couple.

She really couldn't swallow their gnocchi soup, which was regarded as a delicacy.

A Ce and Xiao Mo got up early.

In the morning, Xiao Mo used a little flour left over from yesterday to make a bowl of lasagna for Xia Chujian.

Add a little salt and a handful of wild vegetables, cook it and invite her to have breakfast.

Xia Chujian came to the main room and found that Xiao Mo had already prepared breakfast for her.

Thank goodness it's not gnocchi soup, but lasagna.

The bowl that Xiao Mo holds the noodles in is a very rustic wooden bowl with a chip on the edge.

But it was washed clean, the noodles inside looked good, and the soup was clear and green, which gave her a little appetite.

Just when she sat down, picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat, suddenly there was the sound of heavy horse hooves roaring from outside.

I don’t know how many horses came, but the magnitude of the shaking of the earth was like thousands of troops coming outside!

Xia Chujian's heart moved and he put down his chopsticks again.

Xiao Mo also looked out the door curiously and said, "What's going on? Why are there so many horses here?"

The horses they seized from Mr. Shentu's group yesterday were all taken away by Lao Mo overnight.

No one in the village now knows what they did yesterday.

Everyone thought that yesterday she and Xiao Ce ran out and were caught by Mr. Shentu, so they had exercised their right to stay together for the first time...

Neither Xiao Mo nor A Ce gave an explanation, so let everyone have this misunderstanding!

They know it's not true anyway.

So when she heard the sound of horse hooves, she didn't expect anything to happen.

Xia Chujian thought of it, but she just didn't expect that the other party would come so quickly!

This shows that after the other party discovered the bodies early in the morning, they directly targeted Ate and Xiaomo.

This also shows that the fact that Mr. Shentu came here yesterday to exercise his right to the first night was not a temporary move, but a fact that everyone in his family knew.

How shameless!
