Chapter 18 [Rogue's Logic]

Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying were very afraid of Lin Yan'er. She was a celebrity in front of the emperor and noble people. Because she was a woman, she was deeply supported by many powerful women in the palace and was not afraid of any scandals between men and women. This was incomparable to other male generals.

"Why did Lin Yan'er defend this Shen Lang? Is the court suspicious of us?" For a moment, Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying were both scared into a cold sweat. This is the situation they fear most. Shen Lang might be a chess piece, and the real person to take action was the court.

The vassal kings have the intention of being unjust. Once the emperor knows it, the consequences will be unimaginable. I am afraid that the father will have no other way than to rise up. However, at the moment, the time has not come, so how can they dare to liven up the court?

Lin Yan'er originally didn't want to care about this, but when she heard that the two princes of the Jinyang Palace dispatched the royal guards and the Ancient Forces to capture a swordsman in the sword hall, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and the weird hero with an ugly makeup on that day remembered.

"Is it him?" Lin Yan'er suddenly couldn't sit still. The shock and surprise that Shen Lang gave her was too profound. On the one hand, it was because of the makeup and that casual attitude, and on the other hand, his martial arts could actually avoid the "one Qi and three clear" arrow technique that she relied on for fame, which was really unforgettable.

So, Lin Yan'er took her personal guard and ordered hundreds of soldiers, immediately rushed to the dojo, surrounding everyone.

After listening to the whole story, Lin Yan'er felt even more clear about the specific process because she was even clearer than Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying. After all, Shen Lang did not lie at the beginning.

"General Lin, do you really want to make things difficult for our Jinyang Palace?" Zhou Jun said loudly. Zhou Ying was held hostage by Shen Lang just now and his aura was lost. At this time, he had to step forward.

Lin Yan'er snorted and said, "You can't be rude to speak without any reason. Besides, the guards of the Jinyang Prince's Mansion cannot be transferred at will. Do you have the will of the prince?"

Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying looked at each other, and they were speechless. After all, time was in a hurry, so they didn't expect to meet someone like Lin Yan'er who was not easy to mess with. Where did they come from?

"Of course, I'll stay in the palace in a hurry." Zhou Jun replied calmly, looking very calm.

Lin Yan'er didn't want to say much, so she looked at Shen Lang. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on him again.

"I'm not the murderer." Shen Lang touched the bridge of his nose and said calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces looked a little strange.

Zhou Ying sneered, "Then why did you do it just now?"

"Just protect yourself!" Shen Lang replied simply.

This is reasonable. Is it not allowed to defend myself if I was attacked for no reason?

Seeing Shen Lang calm, Zhou Jun frowned and said, "A few days ago, did you and this widow go to Pudu Temple?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Yunrou again, and Yunrou felt that she couldn't breathe smoothly for a moment.

"Not bad." Shen Lang nodded and replied.

"What are you doing when you go to Pudu Temple when you are alone," Zhou Jun continued to shout.

Shen Lang slanted his eyes and gave him a high-profile image of forty-five degrees, obviously disdaining to answer. Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying both unsheathed their swords and pointed at Shen Lang, and the atmosphere around him became tense again.

Lin Yan'er couldn't stand it and asked the same question.

Then Shen Lang said to her with a happy look: "I heard that the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming, and we ordinary people are grateful for the Empress Dowager's kindness and wish her a long life, so we went to Pudu Temple to burn incense."

This reason is very powerful. On the side of justice, the people go to the temple to bless the empress dowager. You still don’t allow it?

Zhou Jun let this go and continued, "Did you hit my brother Wang's man that day?"

"No, it's because a group of thugs touched Yun Rou and pretended to be the prince. Then I taught those subordinates a lesson. Later, the people around me saw that the man could not provide evidence to prove his identity and wanted to continue to pretend to be the prince. Then, they beat the man up angrily. This shows that the people of Youran County are extremely respectful of the prince and the prince's palace and cannot tolerate others offends." Shen Lang's words fully created a fresh perspective. Although everyone knew that he was lying, they could not help but give him a thumbs up in their hearts.

Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying rely on the power of the royal palace to condemn Shen Lang without asking whether there is any evidence or not. As long as you determine that you have a motive, this is the logic of the robber.

Shen Lang believed that the other party had no evidence and could not prove that he was the murderer, so he could open his eyes and tell lies. This is the logic of the hooligan. Yes, I know you all doubt me, but you don’t have evidence, so that’s not what I did. It’s just so shameless. What’s wrong? Are you allowed to be arrogant and not let me cheat?

With Lin Yan'er's intervention, Shen Lang saw hope of solving the problem. He didn't want to leave here, and he was also reluctant to leave Yujiantang and the people here.

In the first half of his life, he was struggling in the world, fighting with scars, but in the end he got nothing. This made him begin to reflect on himself, the world, and the "hero" himself.

He wanted to try to go a different path, no longer fight and kill for the grudges of the world, or be willing to fight to protect the people around him. He was no longer the kind of hero, but a little hero, a living "kind hero" with flesh and blood. Even if he was ridiculed by people in the world, he would never change his original intention.

"It's ridiculous, there must be evidence. You are now in a serious suspicion." Zhou Jun saw the other party quibbling, but he didn't plan to stop there, otherwise how could the royal family have the face?

Lin Yan'er nodded this time and agreed, "Shen Lang, you are indeed suspicious. I will take you into prison in the military camp first. After the truth is found out, it has nothing to do with you, I will definitely give you a freedom!"

Shen Lang nodded and said, "General, this matter is only related to me and has nothing to do with the Sword Hall. Please do not involve anyone, so the people will be at ease."

Seeing that Shen Lang had something to say, Lin Yan'er looked at Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying beside her, nodded and replied, "Okay, I promise you that the case will be investigated by the three parties of the general, the two princes and the local county government. It has nothing to do with other people, and it is not allowed to be involved in other people in the Yujian Hall. If anyone dares to find trouble, he will have the awareness of becoming my dead soul under the arrow."

The decisive words seemed murderous. Although Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying were dissatisfied, they had no choice. Lin Yan'er was an extremely special force and did not have to be afraid of the royal palace at all.

The troops 6 continued to withdraw, and the alarmed neighbors around him watched Shen Lang walk out of the dojo by soldiers.

"Brother Shen..." Yun Rou rushed to him in the surprised eyes of everyone, hugging him and sobbing.

Xiao Shitou, Ah Hua and his children were also crying and hugging Shen Lang, hoping that the officers and soldiers would not arrest him.

Xu Ji handed his nephew and niece to Xu Feiyan, walked to Shen Lang and said, "General Lin is protecting you, Shen Lang, don't worry, as long as the old man is there, he will definitely wash away your grievances."

Shen Lang smiled and shook his head, thinking that there was no grievance, and of course there would be no evidence. Apart from him, Lin Yan'er knew this, only heaven and earth knew. Of course, he would not leave any evidence for doing things himself, but there would be some clues, but these would not matter, and he could not be convicted.

"Master Xu, Shen Lang is ashamed and has a burden. Everyone should try not to go out these days, remember."

"Little Shitou, Master will be fine. Remember to urge everyone to practice martial arts. When the master comes back, you will take the exam for yours."

"Yunrou, Brother Shen will be fine. Remember to come and deliver food to me every day, but you must be accompanied by the soldiers."

Shen Lang also specially applied to Lin Yan'er for a team of soldiers to guard the dojo, with the reason to prevent some people from jumping over the wall. Since they have offended the royal palace, there is no need to admit defeat. People will not accept it, and they will only look down on you.

After a few words of instructions, the young and old in Yujian Hall were sobbing, and the neighbors around him couldn't help but feel unfair for Shen Langming. Although it was only a short month, Shen Lang seemed to have lived here for a long time. This man who was always calm and composed was definitely not a bad person. When everyone in the temple came back, they saw Ning Yucheng, Xu Feiyan and others, and their eyes showed disgust. The couple was very annoyed, but they were also helpless. It seemed that this family did not belong to them, and they were not as good as an outsider.
