I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 115 King Wen's Wedding 5

Chapter 115 King Wen's Wedding (Part 5)

"Don't be angry, Lan Lan! It's all my fault!" Wang Wenzhou hugged the goddess Sheng Lan and tried to coax her for a long time, but the goddess was still crying.

Sheng Lan was heartbroken, not because Wang Wenzhou didn't believe her, but because she was saddened by her past. Everyone has some past that is difficult to face.

The name "Winter Frost" was an unbearable burden for Sheng Lan! Being mentioned in front of over ten thousand people made her want to die. She felt ashamed; her master had been so good to her, and she truly didn't want to tarnish his reputation. But the most tragic thing is that there's no going back, no way to change the past.

"Lazy Blue, it's getting late, we should go out and offer toasts," Wang Wenzhou said softly.

“My lord…” Sheng Lan looked at Wang Wenzhou, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Lazy Blue, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly calling me 'sir'? I've told you so many times, you're only allowed to call me by my name," Wang Wenzhou complained.

"Wang Wenzhou!" Sheng Lan threw herself into Wang Wenzhou's arms and burst into tears.

"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed. As a straight man with chauvinistic tendencies, Wang Wenzhou was most afraid of girls crying. The goddess in his arms was crying her eyes out, and Wang Wenzhou was suddenly at a loss.

"Lazy Blue, stop crying! You won't be pretty if you keep crying. How can a bride cry?" Wang Wenzhou gently stroked the goddess's hair.

"Wang Wenzhou, I am not worthy of you!" Sheng Lan cried even harder.

"Lazy Blue, I'm not good enough for you. My Lazy Blue is so beautiful, gentle, and virtuous, with a great figure! I, Wang Wenzhou, am as fat as a pig. It's a miracle that my family's ancestors burned incense at the graves of our ancestors that I was able to marry such a beautiful wife as Lazy Blue." Wang Wenzhou flattered the goddess.

Girls all like sweet words from men, and after Wang Wenzhou flattered her several times, Sheng Lan stopped crying and started laughing.

"Lazy Blue, come with me to toast the bar," Wang Wenzhou said.

"Mmm." Sheng Lan nodded.

……

Wang Wenzhou's wedding banquet was extravagant, with several venues. The main venue was set up in the open space outside the stadium, covering several miles in radius and stretching as far as the eye could see. There were also several branch venues along the main street near the government office, as well as at the labor camp and refugee camp.

Wang Yue (nicknamed Erheizi) and Li Hu (nicknamed Duyan) hurriedly walked towards their desks.

Wang Yue and Li Hu have now been assigned to the tax police battalion. Li Hu is the "battalion commander," and although Wang Yue is mute, he has been appointed by Wang Wenzhou as Li Hu's deputy.

The tax police battalion was still part of the "police" system, and the two of them were late because they had been on official business.

Wang Yue suddenly stopped and frowned.

“Ah ah…” Wang Yue tugged at Li Hu.

Li Hu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Hurry up, we're already late."

Wang Yue is mute, and perhaps for this reason, his hearing is exceptionally sharp. Although the scene was noisy and chaotic, he could still vaguely hear people talking badly about Mr. Sheng Lan.

"Ah..." Wang Yue gestured for me to follow him.

Li Hu nodded and followed.

Wang Yue stopped in front of a table.

The ten young people present are all teachers at Hanshan Academy.

Pan Lin cursed and said, "I don't know what Lord Wang was thinking, how could he marry a prostitute?"

"Yes!" He Yuntao sighed and said, "I think that Lord Wang's reputation will be ruined by this little bitch sooner or later!"

The teachers at Hanshan Academy were all scholars. In their eyes, visiting brothels was a refined pursuit. But marrying a courtesan was a grave mistake! Such is the difference between ancient and modern times; in modern times, officials still quite like to marry female celebrities.

Wang Yue turned and glanced at Li Hu. "Did you hear that?"

"Ah ah..." Wang Yue angrily patted He Yuntao's shoulder.

He Yuntao turned around and asked, "What is it, brother?"

"Bang!" Wang Yue swung his fist and punched He Yuntao in the face.

Pan Lin and the others at the same table stood up one after another. Pan Lin pointed at Wang Yue and asked angrily, "Outrageous! Why did you start hitting me without saying a word?"

"Fuck you! I'm going to beat you bastards!" Li Hu cursed and kicked Pan Lin.

People in the Ming Dynasty respected teachers and held them in high esteem; teachers were almost godlike figures in the eyes of students. The saying "A teacher for a day is a father for life" held true. Wang Yue and Li Hu, seeing this group of people so blatantly slandering Mr. Sheng Lan, could not tolerate it.

Pan Lin's colleagues were too embarrassed to stand still, so they rushed towards Wang Yue and the other man.

When the yamen runner Li Huili saw that a fight had broken out, he quickly led several other yamen runners over.

Lee Hye-ri yelled, "Stop!"

Upon seeing the yamen runners approaching, both sides ceased hostilities.

Li Huili glanced at Li Hu disdainfully and said irritably, "One-Eyed, you're a constable of the yamen now, why are you fighting again?"

"And you!" Li Huili pointed at Wang Yue and sneered, "You mute, what are you getting involved in?"

Li Huili came from the first batch of labor camps. She had a fight with Wang Hu in the labor camp, and the two disliked each other.

Lee Hye-ri sneered, "You one-eyed bastard, I've caught you red-handed today, you're finished!"

"They insulted Mr. Sheng Lan!" Wang Hu said angrily, pointing at Pan Lin and the others with one big eye wide open.

"Sir? A prostitute from a brothel dares to call herself a 'sir'?" Pan Lin said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Li Huili was consumed by rage and slapped Pan Lin across the face.

"You son of a bitch! How dare you insult Mr. Sheng Lan! Brothers, beat these bastards to death!" Li Huili waved his hand, and the yamen runners who came with him rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

Although Pan Lin and his colleagues outnumbered each other, they were all scholars and no match for Wang Yue and his group. In no time, they were beaten until their faces were covered in blood.

"Mr. Pan has been beaten!" someone at a nearby table suddenly shouted.

"Not only Mr. Pan, but all the teachers at the school have been beaten by these thugs!" another parent shouted.

In no time, the students' parents swarmed around the school. "Damn it! The teacher who dared to hit my son (daughter), do you have a death wish!"

Li Hu shouted, "They insulted Mr. Sheng Lan, they deserve to be beaten!"

"They're beating Mr. Panlin! Kill them!"

In an instant, both sides called out to their friends, and the people from the labor camps clashed with the teachers and parents from the school.

At the other end of the field, Lin Peng was completely bewildered. He hadn't seen the young master give the order to attack. How did a fight break out?

"Brother Peng? Did the young master give the order? We didn't see it," a strong man from Lin Family Village asked.

Lin Peng thought for a moment, then said, "Give it to them!"

Lin Peng and his men were all able-bodied men from Lin Family Village. Lin Qing had sent them to cause trouble. Seeing the fight break out, they overturned the table and started fighting themselves.

In no time, the wedding banquet venue was in complete chaos, with tables, chairs, stools, and plates flying everywhere.

The group grabbed whatever weapons they could find and started fighting.

Wang Wenzhou, holding Sheng Lan's small hand, walked over, ready to offer a toast, but was stunned by the scene before him.

Holy crap! How did my wedding banquet turn into a gangster brawl? What the hell is going on?
