Chapter 508: Beating Mandarin Ducks
Under normal circumstances, these dozen or so government officials who were only considered to have the strength of a handle would not even be able to get close to Dong Ping's body, but now, Dong Ping was dizzy and his limbs were weak, so he could only be easily held down by them, and he couldn't even make a gesture of resistance. His mind was still clear, and he was shocked in his heart, and he opened his mouth to ask Cheng Wanli in front of him, but he couldn't say a word.
Cheng Wanli's face was already distorted at this time, and he stared at Dong Ping and said: "Bold thief, you dare to treat me like this, this official and you are incompatible." It's a shame that the old man has always trusted you, and you ...... I dare to do such a thing to my daughter, if Master Chen hadn't reported the news to me, maybe I would have become a laughing stock in the world! ”
As soon as these words were said, Dong Ping immediately understood, it turned out that Cheng Taishou's words just now were completely to test his mind! He had already drugged himself in wine! And the reason why he did this was because of the relationship between himself and Cheng Yue'e!
Dong Ping, who understood the reason, was even more anxious, he wanted to explain to Cheng Wanli that he had never forced Cheng Yue'e, and the two of them came together naturally because of their mutual affection, and there was no need for him to do such a thing. What's more, now there is a threat of Liangshan thieves outside the city, once something really happens to him, this Dongping City will be dangerous.
But at this time, Dong Ping's whole person was drowsy, his tongue was numb, and he couldn't even speak, let alone explain anything. And even if he could really say something, with Cheng Wanli's current state of anger, it would be impossible to listen to it. At this time, he just waved his hand and ordered: "Put this thief in prison for me, and after defeating the Liangshan thieves, this official will definitely show Dong Ping and his various evil deeds to the imperial court!" ”
Although those servants didn't know what Dong Dujian had done wrong to make Taishou so angry, they were already accustomed to obeying orders, and they still hurriedly agreed, and dragged the half-unconscious Dong Ping out. But at this moment, a slender figure suddenly appeared in front of the hall door, this is a pretty, delicate woman like a flower.
When the woman saw Dong Ping, who was being held, she was immediately shocked, and she couldn't care about the shyness in her heart, and exclaimed, "Father, what are you doing?" Why did you want to attack Dong Lang? She is Cheng Wanli's daughter, which is the reason for this accident - Cheng Yue. And as soon as the words came out, she found that she was in a hurry to say what she called Dong Ping in private, which made her pretty face even redder.
Cheng Wanli's face turned dark: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Is this vestibule the place you can come to? If you don't let me go back, I'll see you learn a lesson again!" Seeing that his daughter not only ran out in an outing manner, but also broke the adultery between him and Dong Ping in front of so many people, this made Cheng Taishou very annoyed, and naturally it was impossible to have a good reputation.
Originally, Cheng Yue'e was obedient to her father, and she didn't dare to disobey in the slightest. But today, when she saw that her beloved Lang Jun was taken down by her father, and it seemed that even her life was in danger, she actually mustered up a rare courage, not only did not retreat because of the reprimand, but stepped forward, opened her arms to stop in front of the messengers who were about to drag Dong Ping away, and shouted: "You can't do this, Dong Lang He hasn't done anything wrong!" Father, you can't do it to Dong Lang because of your daughter, he ......"
"Shut up!" With a broken drink, Cheng Wanli had already taken a few steps in front of his daughter, and when he raised his hand, he slapped her on the cheek, directly interrupting the "nonsense" behind her. Then, he shouted loudly: "I can't help your daughter's family to be presumptuous here, how did I give birth to such a shameless thing as you!" Under the rage, the old lady's breathing became rapid.
The father and daughter's quarrel made those servants a little overwhelmed, and they really didn't see Cheng Taishou so angry. But at the same time, they also knew the reason for today's accident, and when they looked at Dong Ping and Cheng Yue, the expressions on their faces were much more exciting.
Just when everyone froze in front of the hall door, a few maids and servants hurriedly ran over, and after seeing Cheng Yue'e, they breathed a sigh of relief, and first said urgently: "Miss, why did you come here......" Then I found out about the situation here, and suddenly I didn't know what to say or what to do.
Cheng Wanli took the opportunity to shout at them: "How did you do it to let the young lady run to the front yard?" Hurry up and bring her back, and next time, break your legs! ”
The pressure under Taishou's anger is not something that a few maids can withstand, they suddenly knelt down in panic and said yes, and then stepped forward and dragged Cheng Yue'e, who had been slapped by her father for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses: "Miss, let's go back first, don't make the old man angry again." ”
"No, I can't go, otherwise Dong Lang will ...... him" Cheng Yue'e woke up suddenly at this time, and quickly struggled to pounce on Dong Ping to protect him. But after all, she was just a weak woman with a weak body, how could she be the opponent of a few servant women around her, she hadn't taken two steps forward, and she had been pulled back. This made her feel more and more frightened, and she shouted urgently: "Father, my daughter is wrong, I don't dare to go out anymore, as long as you let Dong Lang go, I will listen to you in the future." ”
But these words simply added fuel to the fire, seeing that his daughter was so protective of Dong Ping, obviously because of his deep roots, Cheng Taishou was even more angry, and immediately shouted: "Quickly drag her back for me, and I'll clean you up later." And you, what are you doing in a daze, quickly drag people to the prison and take them to custody......" The latter words were naturally said to the stunned officers.
Only then did the servants come back to their senses and hurriedly wanted to drag Dong Ping again, but the latter suddenly struggled hard, which immediately made these people hurriedly shrink back. Dong Dujian has always had a great reputation in the city, especially his superb martial arts are even more well-known, and they only dared to do it when they saw him being overturned by the medicine just now. But now, he actually got up suddenly, and the first reaction of this was naturally that he had suppressed the medicinal properties!
But this is not the case, although Dong Ping is strong enough, he is also flesh and blood after all. The medicinal properties of the three glasses of wine he drank just now were enough to numb five or six people, and it was rare for him to persist until now. At this time, it was only because he saw that his beloved was aggrieved that he was angry in his heart, so he temporarily suppressed the discomfort of his body, and he was even able to speak: "Taishou, don't mess around, Yue'e and I are in love...... And now the Liangshan thieves outside the city are powerful, once I don't have the town to guard the city, there is a good one, and it will be too late to regret it! ”
Seeing Dong Ping suddenly set off Cheng Wanli, his heart was also terrified, and his steps unconsciously took a step back. It wasn't until he saw that he just sat up and saw that he had no strength left to get up again, that he put his mind at ease, and at the same time said with a gloomy face: "My daughter was defiled by you, and the official will definitely investigate it to the end!" Do you think that the old man is as ignorant as she is, and can be deceived by your rhetoric? Also, I have loyal court and old man's soldiers in Dongping to guard it, and it is naturally as stable as Mount Tai, so don't use this to blackmail the old man! ”
"You ......" Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, this made Dong Ping angry and a little speechless. Then, his head was drowsy again, and he knew that he finally couldn't resist the medicine and was about to collapse. Knowing this, he couldn't help but sigh, and after looking at Cheng Yue'e, who was close at hand but couldn't touch it, with pity and guilt, he fell down.
The reaction just now can be said to be the return to light before he passed out, but it was also this that completely stimulated the medicinal properties in his body, and he completely fell into a coma.
This time, Cheng Wanli and the others finally put their minds at ease, and immediately those servants and maids brought Cheng Yue'e, who was already powerless to resist, back to the backyard, and the servants dragged Dong Ping down and threw him into prison.
It wasn't until he did all this that Cheng Taishou exhaled a long breath of turbidity, but his face was still gloomy as ink, and his body was still trembling slightly. This accident hit him too hard, especially his daughter's appearance just now, which made him feel disgraced, but in front of so many people, the adultery between her and Dong Ping was exposed, and the reputation that he had worked hard for many years would inevitably collapse......
In this world, there are people who seek profit and power, and what Cheng Wanli is trying to do is just a good reputation. As a disciple of Chengmen, he attaches great importance to the honor, not only as a courtier, but also as a wife of his daughter Yue'e.
So when her daughter became widowed, Cheng Wanli kept her by her side and refused to let her remarry. His intention is actually very clear, that is, he hopes that his daughter will keep her chastity for the son-in-law who has never really met for a lifetime, so as to fulfill the innocence of her, himself, and even the entire Cheng family.
But who would have thought that what he was most afraid of seeing would actually happen. That Dong Ping actually had an adulterous affair with his daughter a long time ago, which was not a big blow to Cheng Taishou. When the things he had maintained for many years collapsed, Cheng Wanli was naturally furious, at this time he had long been unable to care about anything else, and only thought about convicting the dog thief who seduced his daughter to wash away his shame.
"Dog thief, the old man is going to kill you!" After a while, Cheng Wanli said such a sentence in a low voice, but Chen Cang, who was leaning over cautiously, was taken aback: "Taishou, now that Dong Dujian has been taken, what should I do at the head of the city?" ”
"The old man asked him just now, and he said that with Pang Xu's ability, they can still hold it." Cheng Wanli took his heart in his mind at this time, and looked at his staff gratefully: "Master Chen, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise the old man doesn't know how long he will be deceived by them, maybe this ugly thing will make a bigger fuss." ”
"This ...... I dare not be ashamed. Chen Cang lowered his head a little weakly, but he didn't dare to look at Taishou. At the same time, I was also entangled in my heart, how should I hide next, once this Dong Ping is not guarded by Dong Ping, I am afraid that the city will not be far away.
