Hope for luck

Chapter 284 Angry

In the main hall of the Gao family's front yard, Gao Pan's loud words reached the ears of everyone present. No one answered for a while, and the hall became silent in an instant.

Seeing this, Gao Pan glanced at Chen Kui, who was above him, and groaned inwardly.

He originally talked with Shen Jieli and Shen Jinhua at the Shen family, and because Shen Jieli had just been released from prison, the Shen family seemed to have a new look.

Although the name of the Shen family's royal merchant was gone and they lost a lot of money, everything would be fine if Shen Jieli came back.

However, it's a pity that even though Shen Jieli came back, Mrs. Shen still couldn't wake up, which made the joy of Shen Jieli's return quite dilute.

Fortunately, Gao Pan has been consoling from the side, saying that Mrs. Shen may wake up later, and then there are smiles on the faces of Shen Jieli and Shen Jinhua.

Brothers and sisters Cui Yi and Cui Zhihui also came to meet after hearing the news. Gao Pan saw Cui Zhihui for the first time. Seeing her eclectic and ladylike appearance, he felt a little admiration in his heart.

Seeing Gao Pan like this, Shen Jinhua suddenly felt an indescribable pain in her heart. Just as she was about to talk to Gao Pan, she heard Yang Mingchun come in and report that someone from the Gao family was looking for Gao Pan to return home.

After Gao Pan heard this, he bid farewell to several people and hurried home, because Gao Pan had his own source of information, so when someone was looking for him, he knew it immediately.

When the servants of the Gao family who came out to look for him learned that Gao Pan had returned home, they were still looking outside. This is the most direct manifestation of intelligence.

As soon as Gao Pan came to the outer hall, he heard someone inside talking about the Duke Shi's family, which involved the Shen family, so naturally Gao Pan would not ignore it.

When he asked who was among the servants, Gao Pan broke in directly and refuted all the words of the county king Chen Kui.

Previously, Gao Pan had heard from Mrs. Gao that the driving force behind this incident was probably Prince Yu's Mansion.

At that time, Gao Pan didn't delve into it. In his heart, he didn't care about the old noble family at all, so he didn't care who was behind the scenes.

At the Winter Solstice party, there was a stark contrast between the old nobles and the new nobles with real power, and there were even people like Shi Zhongjin and Feng Ziqing who were free to eat.

This made Gao Pan even more sneering. He couldn't understand how he dared to call himself a nobleman at such a low level.

What's more, these old noble families are all nameless families, even the Gao family has long been far away from the political center.

Gao Qiyuan was no more than a member of the Ministry of War, and Gao Qiyin was no more than a commander in Nine Sides. He didn't even have the qualifications to participate in government affairs, let alone manipulate certain political affairs.

Therefore, in Gao Pan's mind, he didn't pay much attention to the Prince Yu's Mansion.

Moreover, Emperor Tianfeng's attitude towards this incident is very clear. Who is he going to support? What did the emperor say?

And Chen Kui is so desperate that he wants to use this time to coerce the Gao family?To deal with Shen Jieli who was finally released from prison?Naturally, Gao Pan will not do what he wants.

For all these things, Gao Pan came up with a lot of cynicism first, and in order to save Shen Jieli, he had already thoroughly investigated the old nobles such as Shan Guogong's mansion and Lu Guogong's mansion that existed in name only.

Naturally, he also understood why Shi Zhongjin wanted to take the risk, because his family was completely ruined by his prodigal father, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Although Gao Pan has no evidence to prove that it was Prince Yu's Mansion who promised Shi Zhongjin or the money, but based on what he heard just now, Gao Pan is [-] to [-]% sure that Shi Zhongjin was instigated by Prince Yu's Mansion.

……

The hall was silent for a long time. Seeing that Chen Kui seemed to have nothing to say, Gao Pan snorted coldly and continued:

"The lord said that Shi Zhongjin was beaten, but he didn't explain the matter, so can the lord understand why Shi Zhongjin was beaten?"

As he said that, Gao Pan looked down at Chen Kui with condescending eyes, while Chen Kui's face was full of pig's liver. He never expected that such a person would come out halfway and refute all his words.

Gao Pan has already asked this question twice, if he doesn't answer this question, today, he will completely lose face as the county king.

Seeing this, Chen Kui gritted his teeth and replied:
"That's because Shi Zhongjin just said a few stupid words, but Shen Jieli punched him. This king thought that this was a great injustice. Who wouldn't say a few stupid words? If so, he would be punished." Isn't that a big joke?"

Gao Pan was waiting for his words. As soon as Chen Kui finished speaking, Gao Pan had already taken the words and said:

"My lord also knows that no one will beat someone for no reason, unless the person intentionally says something unpleasant to you, such as greeting your parents, making arrangements for other people's relatives, etc..."

"...As far as my kid knows, that Shi Zhongjin somehow found out that Shen Jieli was going to marry Miss Tian's family as his wife. At the banquet that day, he uttered nonsense and deliberately made up some nonsense about Mrs. and Miss Tian's family. At this time, Shen Jieli Passing by, this will provoke Shen Jieli to be furious, punching and kicking on the spot!"

As he said that, Gao Pan still looked down at Chen Kui and asked:

"My lord, I dare to ask, if someone arranges the princess like this, what should the lord do?"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Kui slapped the table angrily, stood up instantly, and looked at Gao Pan angrily:

"Gao Pan, you are so bold, you dare to insult me ​​and my concubine, come and drag this person to Chengtian Mansion, I will teach him personally!"

These words shocked the four of Gao Qiyuan, and they also got up quickly, all of them were horrified, not knowing what to do.

But Gao Pan was not afraid at all, looked directly at Chen Kui, and said calmly:

"My lord, the boy just mentioned the word wangfei, and the lord has already become angry from embarrassment, and wants to send the boy to the Yamen for strict punishment. Now, the lord can see how angry Shen Jieli was when he faced Shi Zhongjin's indecent and vulgar words. right?"

As soon as the words fell, Gao Qiyuan came back to his senses, bowed quickly and said:
"My lord, please calm down. My nephew was just making an analogy. There was no disrespect to the princess in my words. I hope my lord will forgive me!"

Gao Qiyin, Gao Qiyao, and Gao Qibai also quickly followed suit to persuade them.

But Chen Kui was furious at the moment. Originally, he was very dissatisfied with Gao Pan's sudden intrusion, but now Gao Pan even made fun of his princess, how could he bear it.

He looked at the four of Gao Qiyuan with a gloomy expression, and said loudly:

"Hmph, thanks to the good intentions of this king, I came here to think about your Gao family, but I didn't expect that you would find such a shameless and rude man to arrange this king. Today, this king will definitely punish him. The princess is disrespectful!"
