Chen Lang frowned and said, "What's wrong with this pig kidney face?"

Ying Er was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "Pig kidney face... This evaluation is so accurate, it made me laugh to death."

Xu Mengru was helpless. She squeezed Ying'er's hand and said, "Tell Mr. Chen about it first, then laugh."

Ying Er raised her hand to wipe away the tears of laughter and said, "Wei Zifan is investigating your background."

Chen Lang asked, "How can a student from Qinzhou Prefecture reach out to Guangling Prefecture?"

Ying Er said, "Don't underestimate him. Wei Zifan's ancestor was a founding hero of our dynasty, and his family is a hereditary founding county earl."

"There are people from their family all over Qinzhou Road. It's easy for them to find out information about you."

Chen Lang shrugged. "Let him investigate. My background is clean. It would be strange if he could find out anything."

Ying Er said, "Hey, don't take it lightly."

"Don't think these aristocratic families always follow the rules. Once they're determined to punish someone, they'll resort to any despicable means."

"Even if you really have a clean background, they will still find a way to throw dirty water on you."

Chen Lang sighed and said calmly, "The conflicts between me and young masters like Wei Zifan are due to our different classes. We attack each other, and we must stay in the same circle and cannot go beyond it."

"Now they are jumping out of this circle and trying to attack me from other places. This is completely unruly."

"If they can do it on the first day, I can do it on the fifteenth. In the end, the worst that can happen is that both sides will perish together."

Ying Er said, "You really want to fight them head-on. You are alone, and even if you have a scholar as your teacher, you are no match for these aristocratic families..."

Chen Lang raised his hand to interrupt Ying Er, "When a common man gets angry, blood can splatter five steps away."

"If they really don't want me to live, I'll rub my hands into bombs and make them go up in smoke!"

Ying Er was stunned: "What is a bomb?"

Chen Lang did not answer this question. Instead, he bowed to Ying'er again and said, "Thank you, Miss Ying'er, for telling me this. I have to go now."

Ying Er pointed to the soldiers nearby and said, "They will escort you back to Nanhe County."

"I'm so embarrassed." Chen Lang said.

Ying Er said, "I said, I like people to owe me favors."

"Well, I wish you a safe journey and see you again."

After saying that, he got in the carriage and left.

A moment later, two brand new carriages appeared in front of Chen Lang, and Xu Mengru's maid Hong'er was in one of the carriages.

Chen Lang said to Xu Mengru, "Miss Xu, I have to hurry home and will be driving fast all the way."

"You don't need to rush like me. Just let these soldiers protect you and go back slowly."

Xu Mengru smiled calmly: "It's okay, I've been out for so long, I'm eager to go home."

"Mr. Chen, I can hold on."

Chen Lang said: "Okay, you decide for yourself."

After saying this, he boarded the carriage and said to the sergeant in charge of driving, "Rush back to Nanhe County as quickly as possible. There's no need to stop."

……

Qinzhou Prefecture.

After learning that Chen Lang had escaped from the city using a trick, the students who surrounded the inn dispersed cursing.

But there was one person who, after separating from the main force, went directly to Wei's Mansion.

"Sir, Chen Lang has left the city."

Wei Zifan frowned: "With so many people surrounding him, how could he get away?"

"A little girl brought a group of soldiers and secretly sent Chen Lang away."

Wei Zifan said, "It's better for him to leave. If he dies in Qinzhou Prefecture, we might end up in trouble."

"Go home and die, then it will have nothing to do with us."

As he was speaking, a servant came to report that Liu Yizhou, Xue Feng and several other young masters came to visit.

Wei Zifan ordered someone to bring them in.

Liu Yizhou said anxiously, "Brother Zifan, Chen Lang ran away! Did you know?"

Wei Zifan dismissed the servants and nodded, "I just found out."

Liu Yizhou said: "Why aren't you anxious at all?"

Wei Zifan smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? Even if he doesn't leave today, I'm going to find a way to make him leave."

Xue Feng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Zifan, do you have a good idea?"

Wei Zifan said, "That's right."

Zhu Shan asked excitedly, "What's the trick? Tell me about it."

Wei Zifan said, "I asked someone to investigate Chen Lang's background, and I got some unexpected results."

Everyone was very excited and waited for Wei Zifan to continue.

Wei Zifan sent people to Guangling Prefecture to inquire about the news. Who knew that when his people arrived at Guangling Prefecture and just started to inquire, someone came to them and told them a shocking news.

Chen Lang is not from Yan, but from Liao!

The magistrate of Nanhe County accepted benefits from Chen Lang and secretly helped him change his household registration.

Chen Lang's adoptive parents can testify that he is from Liao.

More than 20 years ago, the Liao people went south to attack Dayan, and Nanhe County was once besieged by the Liao people. Later, Li Shirong's Zhongwu Army arrived and repelled the Liao people. It was at that time that Chen Lang's adoptive parents rescued a Liao woman with a baby, and this baby was Chen Lang.

When Wei Zifan finished reading the letter sent back by his servant via carrier pigeon, his first feeling was, what a load of bullshit.

I've never heard of anyone leading a pregnant woman into battle. Even if there really was one, how could it be such a coincidence that she was rescued by Chen Lang's adoptive parents?

Even if we take a step back, as Yan people, Chen Lang's adoptive parents did not kill the Liao people, but they also helped raise the Liao children?

Even the storytellers in the tavern wouldn't dare to make up this story.

Just as Wei Zifan was about to write a letter to reprimand his servants, he suddenly realized a problem.

Why did the people in Guangling Prefecture make up such an outrageous story about Chen Lang's life?

There is only one reason, someone wants to deal with Chen Lang!

After realizing this, Wei Zifan became very excited and immediately asked Liu Yizhou and others to come over to discuss the matter.

"I see." Liu Yizhou sneered, "No wonder this guy is so aggressively promoting money-making. It turns out he wants to undermine the foundation of Great Yan and break the backbone of our scholars."

"If it's proven that he's indeed a Liao dog, even slow slicing to death would be too easy for him."

Xue Feng said, "What are you waiting for? Go and find the prefect to explain the situation."

In that literary duel, Xue Feng was the person who was "injured" the most, especially the ridicule Chen Lang made before leaving, which made Xue Feng a laughing stock in the entire Qinzhou Prefecture.

He is the one who most hopes Chen Lang will die.

Wei Zifan said: "That's true, but don't forget, there are people behind Chen Lang."

Zhu Shan asked, "Brother Zifan, are you referring to Scholar Xiao Yuxiao?"

Wei Zifan nodded.

Zhu Shan laughed and said, "Brother Zifan, you're worrying too much. If it's proven that Chen Lang is a Liao dog, Scholar Xiao will only be busy drawing a line between them and will never say a good word on his behalf."

Wei Zifan said, "I'm not afraid of that. I'm afraid that Xiao Yu will desperately try to prove that Chen Lang is not from Liao in order to protect his own reputation."

"Xiao Yu's reputation is there. He came forward to speak for Chen Lang. Even if Chen Lang is not from Yan, he must be a Yan person."

When everyone thinks about it, this is also true.

Xue Feng said indignantly: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Wei Zifan said, "Of course not. According to my speculation, Chen Lang must have offended some important figure. Otherwise, how could someone risk offending Xiao Yu and expose the fact that he is from Liao?"

"So we just need to spread the news and make it a big fuss. By then, the officials in the Censorate and the Provincial Procuratorate will definitely be unable to sit still."

"Humph, Wei didn't want to argue with this kind of person, but he was too arrogant and belittled us as worthless."

"In that case, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
