Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

"Everyone, stand up. Let the plaintiff speak first!"

She swung her skirt and sat on the armchair, Qianli stood behind her with a sword in his hand. Now the King of Huai'an and the Governor of Huaizhou had no choice but to stand behind her, because she was always holding the boss's seal in her hand.

The leader finally stood up, dusted off his clothes, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle, as if he was protecting a rare treasure. He said:

"Chen Yulian not only usurped the palace and let down Princess Rong'an, he also hurt a woman and harmed her entire family..."

It turned out to be an old story about an unfaithful man. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

Some people took out fried sunflower seeds, while others thought it was too cold, and they were hungry and sleepy, so they decided not to join in the fun and go home to listen to other people's chats when they had time.

The leader continued, "Thirty-five years ago, an orphan wandered to the Chen family troupe to beg for food. The troupe owner was kind-hearted and kept him in the troupe to do odd jobs. Later, he found that he had excellent aptitude, so he took him in as an inner disciple and specialized in studying the art of playing the zither. Ten years later, he betrothed him to the youngest daughter... But who would have thought that he would hook up with the princess one day. In order to cover up the fact that he had married, he divorced her and sent the troupe out of Huai'an. The old troupe owner naturally refused to accept this and wanted to expose his fake face. He actually colluded with bandits and killed more than a hundred people in the Chen family troupe..." At this point, the leader walked towards the old chief clerk who had escaped death and was rescued:

"Master Qian, do you remember that a young woman with a child chased you in the street and cried out for justice?"

Hearing this, the old chief clerk tilted his head for a moment and remembered something. He took a step back involuntarily, lowered his head, closed his eyes and shook his head, saying: "I am old now, and I don't remember much about things that happened decades ago."

"Oh~" the leader said softly, and glanced over with a sidelong look in his eyes, which were full of sharpness and insight: "When my disciple Luosha saved you just now, you said that you have a very good memory. You can recognize the villain even if he turned into ashes."

"You, leader, you..."

"Humph!" He snorted coldly, disdainful to listen to his sophistry.

The leader walked to a clerk in the crowd and said, "Oh, Lord Liu, you were the most powerful constable in Huai'an City back then. What did you say when Chen Huailiu, the eldest brother of the Chen Clan, came to see you? Did you spit on his face...?"

"No, leader, I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that more than a decade later, there are still people who want to overturn the verdict for a small theater troupe, right?"

"..."

The leader asked the old man in Confucian clothes: "Mr. Wang, you are the most respected old gentleman in Douzi Hutong, a scholar, and a former government official. What did you say when Chen Huailiu went to you to appeal for justice? How could an opera singer, a yellow-haired girl who worked as a fireman in the opera troupe, dream of marrying up with a rich and powerful man...?"

Old man: “…” The old scholar who had been a legal advisor really had no memory of this incident. How could he have the time to remember a down-and-out madman?

The leader ignored him and muttered to himself, "What a pity that the Huaizhou governor has passed away. Otherwise, I would have asked him why he refused to accept the Chen Clan's lawsuit."

"..."

The leader turned around and glanced at old man Xin, the governor of Huaizhou who had just taken office in recent years. The sight of the old man made his heart skip a beat. He inexplicably recalled the letter from the Yanyu Sect that he had thrown away, and suddenly became curious about what was written in it.

The leader walked around and asked a lot of questions, and finally turned to Yin Chuishi and asked, "Mr. Yin, others may not know, but you are different. Although the Chen family troupe is not a famous troupe, and usually only sets up a stage in a corner of Huai'an City, you always loved to listen to operas when you were young. There is no opera troupe in Huai'an City that you have not been to. You know that Chen Yulian was born in the Chen family troupe and is married, right? Why don't you say it?"

Yin Chuishi: Say? What? If there is no hatred between the noble families, who would expose other families' private affairs and make enemies for themselves? Even if he and the Prince of Huai'an are as close as brothers, he has no intention of exposing his sister's private affairs. The domineering Princess Rong'an will not believe it, and Chen Yulian will bite back immediately. He is worried that getting involved in trouble will bring disaster. Until later, the prince was killed and a big mistake was made. But by then, Chen Yulian was already omnipotent. He has been running around all these years without anyone to turn to, all to atone for his sins: "Ah...ah..."

Yin Chui Shi broke down and cried!

“Hahahahahahahahaha…hahaha…” The leader laughed at his crying and sneered, “If you don’t know, you’d think it’s a big secret. With such a big troupe and so many people involved, I don’t believe that no news can get out. Do you guys really know nothing? But you’re all keeping your mouth shut!”

At the end, his chuckle turned into a roar, and he pointed his finger at everyone, finally falling on King Huai'an.

Prince Huai'an was already on the verge of collapse, but Miss Xia Shi had been holding the seal and sitting steadily. He could not sit down at all. If no one had supported him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Princess Rong'an was already in tears. It was her who did it. She believed the lies of the bitch, believed that he was forced into a corner, believed that he was being harassed, had people suppress the case, had people run errands for him, gave him confidants, gave him money, created momentum for him, made him famous, hired famous teachers for him, praised him all the way to the point where he could dominate Huai'an, praised him to the point where he could backfire on himself, all of this was retribution.

It’s all retribution!

She struggled to get up and kowtow to everyone to apologize, but her hands and feet were disabled and there was no one to help her, so she looked like she was struggling ridiculously.

"Aren't you all curious about my true face? Everyone in the world is curious about my true face. Today, I will let you see it!" said the leader.

He took off the mask, and the sturdy brocade belt was torn off with force, revealing a face that was almost exactly the same as that of the Jade-faced Young Master Chen Yulian.

The 95% similarity also carries with it youth, arrogance, cruelty, hatred, and overflowing despair.

Extremely beautiful, extremely hateful, a man’s appearance is unparalleled!

"what!"

"Oh my God!"

The crowd was filled with astonishment and shock. Those who were about to leave had already returned. They stopped eating sunflower seeds and ignored the cold. They all speculated:

"He wouldn't just be...?"

"Why does he look exactly like Master Chen?"

"illegitimate child?"

"No, he is the real child of the original wife, right?"

"He is Chen Yulian's child!"

"The child has come to seek revenge on his father."

"..."

Chen Yulian had already cursed out loud: "Evil creature!"

This rebellious son, isn't this rebellious son dead? He strangled him to death with his own hands, how could he still be alive?

"Hahahahahaha..."

Seeing Chen Yulian so angry that she almost died, the leader chuckled like a happy child who had succeeded.

"That's right. I am the child of Chen Yaoniang, the youngest daughter of the old boss of the Chen Clan and the youngest apprentice sister of the Chen Clan."

He never told anyone, in any occasion, when introducing himself, that he was Chen Yulian's bloodline.

He is just Chen Yaoniang's child, he is just the Chen family's child, even though she never gave him a name.

Rumors, discussions, howling wind and snow, a noisy scene, everyone was speculating about his life experience and his past. He felt very happy when everyone was pointing fingers at him. He only stared at one person. He walked to Chen Yulian's side and said in a cheerful and contemptuous voice:

"I can finally stand in front of you and watch you become infamous and ruined. Are you afraid?"
