Chapter 337 Blood debt must be paid with blood
"Dad, I didn't." Nie Junfeng had a timid look in his eyes and spoke with a clear lack of confidence. He didn't know how things had become so big in an instant.
He hasn't done anything recently. When it first started, he heard about it and thought he could just pay some money to settle it, but he didn't expect that later on, it was out of his control.
Now he doesn't even dare to go out. As soon as he goes out, people will point fingers at him and talk about him, almost swearing at his face.
If one person says it, he can be intimidated to shut up, but now everyone is saying it, can he still shut everyone up?
He just stayed in the room and didn't even go out, just hoping that this matter would be over soon. However, the opposite happened. He was tossing and turning on the bed, feeling extremely anxious. Marquis Dingguo kicked the door open, and without saying a word, he came up and pulled him up from the bed and slapped him in the face loudly.
"You dare to say that those rumors outside were not spread by you. If it was not you, let's go out and clarify it now." Marquis Dingguo was really angry. If things continued to develop in this way, it would only be a matter of time before the emperor heard about it. If a thorough investigation was conducted at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Dad, someone must have been causing trouble for me on purpose. Those are all old stories. Some people have even dug up things from a few years ago." Although there are various versions of the rumors outside, they were all indeed done by him.
"How dare you say that? There are so many women in the mansion, and you still want to go outside and cause trouble. This is the imperial city, not a lawless place. You've been spoiled by your mother. Look what she has done to you." Marquis Dingguo's chest heaved up and down, and he was obviously very angry.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please help me think of a solution. I will never do it again." Nie Junfeng was so scared that his face turned pale. He knelt down in front of Marquis Dingguo, crying.
Seeing his son like this, he felt a little bit sorry for him, and sighed heavily. After all, he was the one who was loved and spoiled by him since he was a child.
"Have you offended anyone recently?" Marquis Dingguo lifted his clothes, found a stool to sit down, and said earnestly.
Seeing that Marquis Dingguo was no longer as ferocious as before, Nie Junfeng felt relieved a little, but he still knelt on the ground, not daring to get up, and began to carefully think about what had happened during this period.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out who he had offended. The last time he robbed a young girl, but she was a relative from another place and had no power or influence, so she couldn't cause any waves.
Then, he had a little conflict with Li Xiaoxiao in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was the one who suffered the loss in the end. He still hasn't paid back the money he owes Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan, so it couldn't have been Li Xiaoxiao.
Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan were even more out of the question. Both of them were well-known figures in the capital. How could they go to such great lengths to deal with him for such a small amount of money?
"Dad, I really can't remember." Nie Junfeng lowered his head, looking annoyed.
"Then you just stay at home and don't go out. I'll go and see if I can suppress the matter." Marquis Dingguo pondered for a moment. There was a high possibility that he was targeted in this matter, but he didn't know who it was. Could it be that someone in the court who didn't get along with him was using his son to suppress him?
If this is true, then he has offended too many people. He must resolve the matter as soon as possible and not let it continue to develop.
He then found his staff in the mansion to discuss what to do. After much discussion, they finally came to one conclusion. Because the things that were spreading like wildfire outside were not rumors but real, they could only spend money to see if they could settle the matter.
Although the possibility is not high, it is better than sitting and waiting for death. After deciding what to do, Marquis Dingguo sent people out to find those people one by one, and brought enough silver with them.
However, although his idea was good, the result was far beyond his expectations. No one accepted the money. They were all determined to sue Nie Junfeng.
Marquis Dingguo clenched his fists in anger, his nails digging into his flesh, and his face was filled with rage, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
The situation was obviously out of his control. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Nie Junfeng was sued to the government office.
The leader is Li Xiaoxiao who is in disguise. She has been very busy these days. In order to ensure that they will not turn against her at the last minute, she has put a lot of effort into these people.
Li Xiaoxiao also knew that Marquis Dingguo had sent people to look for them. She was a little worried at the time, but unexpectedly, the result satisfied her, and it was worth her efforts to seek justice for them.
After everything was ready, Li Xiaoxiao led a group of people and walked along a main street in the capital, with Li Xiaoxiao walking in front.
There was a large red birthmark on the left half of her face that was extremely conspicuous. Coupled with her superb makeup skills, it was estimated that even if Sun stood in front of her, she would not be recognized.
He was wearing clothes full of patches, his face was sallow and he looked listless, with the joint letter tightly clenched in his hand.
Behind her, two people were holding a banner that read "Nie Junfeng, blood debt must be paid with blood"! The entire team was marching in a mighty manner, and they were shouting slogans.
"Nie Junfeng is disregarding human life, Nie Junfeng abducted a woman, we beg the Lord to give our child justice." The slogans became louder and louder, and shop owners on both sides of the street came out to see what was going on.
For a while, the streets were extremely lively. Many people who heard the news came from far away to watch the excitement. Soon, the streets were packed with people and discussions could be heard one after another.
Marquis Dingguo had been absent from court for the past two days claiming to be ill, and he was already very upset. When he heard the news reported by his servants, he almost vomited blood on the spot.
Things were developing in the direction he was most worried about, so he hurriedly sent people to the outside of the yamen to inquire about the situation at all times and then send back the latest news.
It is not a good time for him to show up at this time. If he goes now, who knows how those poor and ignorant people will scold him.
He had just instructed a good person to find out the news when the government sent someone to call Nie Junfeng to the court. Marquis Dingguo should make careful arrangements for his son and not talk nonsense in the court.
Don't confront those untouchables. If they ask for compensation in the form of silver, try to satisfy them.
Nie Junfeng was also scared at this time, and he kept nodding his head. He only listened to the general idea of what Marquis Dingguo said.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Junfeng finally came to the prefectural government office reluctantly.
Before he even entered the gate of the government office, someone saw him, and someone in the crowd shouted, "Here comes the beast."
Nie Junfeng, who had his head down and tried to squeeze through the crowd, suddenly became the focus of the crowd, and everyone outside the yamen looked at him.
They all looked ferocious and angry, and threw all the things in their baskets or in their hands that they had prepared at him.
