My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Lin Yulan and An Xiaoqi were "seriously injured" and were sent back to the Marquis' Mansion in a grand manner. When the city patrol team arrived at the scene, they saw the overturned and damaged carriage and the dead horses, and everyone gasped.

The wife of Marquis Wuwei, Miss An and the two maids were lucky to be able to survive!

When Shao Chu sent people to the Imperial Medical Service with great fanfare to invite the imperial physician, Shao Xun, escorting the two scoundrels who had committed the attack, had already kicked open the door of the home of Lord Deng, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Madam Deng's first wife and Madam Deng's second wife were so angry that they had to deal with Shao Xun while asking someone to quickly bring their husbands back from the yamen.

When Master Deng Er heard Shao Xun arrogantly demanding that they take responsibility, he was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Master Shao! Others may be afraid of you, but our Deng family is not. The accident of the carriage of the Marquis of Wuwei's wife, what makes you insist that it has something to do with our Deng family? Just based on the words of these two hooligans?"

Shao Xun sneered: "Who have you, the Deng family, ever been afraid of? Of course I believe that the Second Master Deng is not afraid of me. On the contrary, I am very afraid of the Second Master Deng! If it weren't for the fact that my wife and cousin were seriously injured and I don't know what happened to them, I wouldn't have the courage to come to their house! You will soon know whether the words of these two hooligans are effective or not."

At this time, Shao San came hurriedly, "My Lord, the man has been caught."

Shao Xun sneered: "Bring it in."

Soon, two guards from the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion came in, bringing in a gagged servant in blue.

Shao Xun looked at the two thugs: "Do you know them?"

The two hooligans had been beaten up on the way. They were originally quite unruly, but now they were trembling with fear. When they saw the blue-clothed servant, their eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, it was he who gave us brothers the silver to stick a needle into the horse."

"Yes, yes, the silver is still in my arms, a full one hundred taels."

"My Lord, I was wrong. Please spare my life. If I knew that it was the carriage of the Marquis of Wuwei, I would never dare to do it even if I were beaten to death!"

The Deng family's master and mistress all looked unhappy.

The blue-clothed servant with his mouth gagged was A-Mo, the servant who served Deng Hengyan.

Madam Deng was furious: "Lord Shao has arrested our Deng family members, and you still dare to slander us? Who knows if you have colluded in advance?"

Master Deng was more rational and asked calmly, "Where's the needle? Didn't they say they used a needle to prick the horse?"

The gangster stammered: "Throw it away, throw it away..."

What are you waiting for if you don't throw this thing away after using it?

Master Deng sneered, "Lord Shao, the witnesses may have colluded to frame us, but there is no physical evidence. Lord Shao dares to throw dirty water on my Deng family. Are you bullying me because there is no one in my Deng family? If Lord Shao doesn't give us an explanation today, don't blame me for coming to greet Madam Shao in person!"

The old woman was eager for someone to come to Shao Xun's house to hold him accountable. She would force Shao Xun to admit his guilt without any explanation and apologize on his behalf. If Shao Xun refused, it would be considered unreasonable and disobedient to his elders.

Shao Xun was annoyed: "What's the point of greeting my old lady? How about filing a complaint with the emperor? I will accompany you to the end! I caught these two people at the scene, with a large sum of money in their arms. If they were not bribed, did they earn it by working? Your servant ran fast, but he didn't expect that my people were ambushing outside the Deng Mansion. He sneaked out to avoid the limelight, and was caught by my people."

"What nonsense! Are all the servants in my Deng Mansion who are out right now suspected?"

"Of course not," Shao Xun snorted, "I was at the teahouse opposite the scene of the crime, and I happened to see your second young master and Miss Deng on the second floor, leaning on the window and looking down. Do you think I would believe that this was just a coincidence? And as for the needle, don't worry, my people have found it after searching along the way. Deng Er likes to tinker with these things, you know that, right?"

Deng Hengyan loved to play pranks with all sorts of things like knockout drugs, anesthetics, laxatives, etc. He had fooled countless people. Of course, they were all people of lower status than him. He said it was just a joke, and no one dared to take him seriously.

Now, all of this has become evidence.

"I want the Deng brothers and sisters to surrender to Shuntian Prefecture. I will sentence them to whatever is appropriate. I'm being reasonable, right? Why don't you send them there quickly?"

Upon learning that his trusted servant who tried to escape from the house was caught by Shao Xun, Deng Hengyan was so angry that he could no longer bear it. He called Deng Yuyuan to rush over and hid at the door to eavesdrop.

Hearing Shao Xun being so arrogant, the brother and sister were furious.

Deng Hengyan jumped out and yelled, "Shao Xun! Who do you think you are? How dare you come to my Deng family and speak nonsense! You want to slander our Deng family based on speculation alone? Dream on. Get out! Get out!"

Shao Xun kicked him to the ground, "Slander? Do you dare to swear in front of your Deng family ancestors that you didn't do it? My patience is limited, Deng Er, don't force me to play dirty."

Madam Deng and Deng Yuyuan screamed and hurried to help Deng Hengyan. "Marquis Shao is really overbearing. He dared to do that in our house? What are you still standing there for? Take him down for me."

An Xueming shouted, "Who dares? Second Master Deng chased us in the street and is he still trying to do it now?"

Master Deng's expression changed slightly, and he used his eyes to send back the servants who were about to rush in with great momentum.

Shao Xun was extremely arrogant: "If you don't go to Shuntian Prefecture to surrender today, we'll see what happens. Deng Er, I will make you regret it."

Shao Xun left with An Xueming and others, and took the two thugs and A'mo away in a rude manner.

Deng Hengyan was so angry that he ordered his servants to keep A'mo behind, but he was beaten to the ground by An Xueming and his men.

The Deng family was so angry that their noses were crooked.

Before they could dispatch more servants and guards to stop them, Shao Xun and An Xueming had already led their men out.

Deng Hengyan was so angry that he yelled, "I'm so pissed! Shao Xun is such a bastard!"

Master Deng slapped him in the face and said, "Shut up. What else do you do all day besides causing trouble?"

Madam Deng felt sorry for her son, and hurried to protect him and complained: "Master, Yan'er has been wronged enough. You don't protect him but beat him. Isn't it the relatives who are sad and the enemies who are happy?"

Master Deng's face turned pale: "It's all because of you. Look at what he has become. Why are you still standing there? I can't touch you. Come with me to the study! Yuan'er will come with you."

Madam Deng Da and Madam Deng Er, the two sisters-in-law, looked at each other and opened their mouths but said nothing.

The Deng family knew very well that what Shao Xun said was probably about 70% to 80% true.

They definitely won't admit it.

But Lord Shao is not someone you can easily mess with. Since he has said such a harsh word, it means he is not done yet. It is still unknown how this matter will turn out.

Although the Deng family is not afraid of him, he is still a trouble.
