Chapter 82: Intimidation and coercion, clues come again
"Who are we," Xie Xun pressed his chest hard, half-bent over, looked into his frightened eyes, and said cruelly, "You'll know when you enter Dali Temple." ”
The shopkeeper is still dying, "I haven't seen you in the capital, whatever you want, no matter money or power, I can give it to you." ”
"Money and power can be given," Xie Xun sneered, "It's up to you?" ”
"I'm telling the truth." The shopkeeper begged bitterly, "Yan Chunlou can earn a lot of money every day, and I also have connections in the officialdom." Looking at the clothes, words and deeds of the two sons, they must all be from the noble family. Since he is a scholar, he should know that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if there is no officialdom to rely on, it is difficult to open such a shop. ”
Xie Xun let go of the foot that was stepping on his chest, hooked up a chair next to him, and after sitting down in front of him, he asked with interest: "Tell me, who are your connections in the officialdom?" ”
The shopkeeper quickly got up and knelt on the ground, looking for an opportunity to escape by hanging his head.
He can't be arrested and taken to Dali Temple.
Since they knew about the Baoning Fang on April 27, they may already know a lot about the Peace Fang. If he is caught, whether his life can be saved or not is not said for the time being, most of the things in the Peace Square will not be saved.
He didn't think he could stand the beatings.
"I advise you not to play any tricks," Chen Anning picked up a broken table leg, took it in his hand and slapped it twice, and said cruelly, "I don't have such a good temper as him, and I will give you a chance to speak." ”
After the shopkeeper shivered in fear, he said half-truthfully: "My connections in the officialdom are high-ranking officials on the fourth grade, if the two sons are willing to raise their noble hands, I can ask this high-ranking official to ensure that the two sons have a smooth career." ”
"If you don't report the name of that high-ranking official, who knows if what you said is true or false?" Chen Anning walked over and said impatiently to Xie Xun, "I see that he is secretive in his words, and none of them are true, don't waste time, let's solve it quickly." ”
Xie Xun nodded, "It's okay, do you do it or do I do it?" ”
"I'll do it." Chen Anning walked up to the shopkeeper, raised the broken table leg and smashed it towards his head.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he prostrated and shouted: "I said, I said, it's Lord Song, the servant and servant!" ”
Chen Anning stopped smashing.
The broken table leg was only ten centimeters away from his head.
Glancing at the stinking water stains overflowing under him, he took two steps back in disgust, and motioned Xie Xun to deal with it quickly.
Xie Xun clasped his hand and tapped the armrest of the chair a few times.
"Everyone stops moving, the people from Yanchunlou stand here, and the people who come to have fun stand over there," Xu Zhan's voice came from downstairs in a noisy voice, "We received a report that the shopkeeper of Yanchunlou is related to the Song Fu case, and all of them are standing up for me, and they are not allowed to move again, otherwise they will all be arrested as accomplices!" ”
"Come on, guard the entrances and exits for me!"
"Where is the shopkeeper, where is the shopkeeper, don't get out of here!"
There was a lot of commotion downstairs for a while.
The sound of pedaling upstairs sounded.
Moment.
Xu Zan kicked open the door, strode in, glanced at the shopkeeper, then at Xie Xun, and finally at Chen Anning. Seeing her outfit, he laughed twice, waved his hand and ordered the guards behind him, "Gagged him for me and brought him back!" ”
The guards stepped forward without squinting, covered the squeaky shopkeeper's mouth, and quickly dragged him out.
Xu Zan squeezed his eyebrows at the two of them, and after making a look, he said loudly: "Your performance today is good, hurry up and go back and rest, and when I come back in the evening, I will talk to you again!" ”
As the words fell, he turned and walked away in a big stride.
Chen Anning glanced at Xie Xun and walked out.
Seeing his operation of beckoning the guards to escort all the orchids and turtle slaves of Yanchun Tower back to Dali Temple, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "It's a good training." ”
Xie Xun walked over, looked downstairs with her and said, "Are you praising me, or are you mocking me?" ”
Chen Anning threw away the leg of the table, took out the folding fan pinned to his waist and unfolded it, and said while fanning for a while: "You think it's a boast, it's a boast, you think it's a mockery." ”
The shopkeeper of Yan Chunlou, the orchid and the turtle slave were all taken away by the guards.
But the people who came to Yanchun Tower to have fun were still forcibly kept.
These fun-seekers, including boys, merchants, and literati students, were all being driven together at the moment, all chattering to express their dissatisfaction.
"Alright, stop arguing!" Xu Zan stood on the stage that is usually used for singing, and shouted loudly, "Line up for me, come over one by one to record a confession, and make sure that you are not an accomplice with the shopkeeper of Yanchunlou before you can leave!" Whoever dares to try to break in, the big stick is waiting! ”
Those who seek pleasure will not listen.
It wasn't until the guards drew their swords and approached that they lined up in a noisy manner.
When they lined up, Xu Zhan's eyes turned around twice, then he looked upstairs and scolded: "What are the two upstairs looking at, why don't you hurry down and line up!" ”
Chen Anning chuckled twice and shook the folding fan downstairs.
Xie Xun followed behind her.
After the two lined up at the back of the line, the son-in-law, who had a good thing, immediately accosted: "The two of you just came to the capital? ”
Xie Xun grabbed ahead of Chen Anning and lazily answered: "How can you see it?" ”
The boy who accosted him shook the broken hair in front of his forehead smugly, "Although this son can't do anything, he is the first rate to recognize people." The sons and ladies of the powerful families in the capital are none of them that I don't know Wen Baolin. ”
Chen Anning deliberately sneered: "We all know, why don't you know who we are?" ”
"Because you have just come to the capital, and it will never be more than three days!" The son named Wen Baolin said with great certainty, "Listening to the shouting of the fifth son Xu upstairs just now, you must know each other." Let me guess, you should be from the grandmother's side of Princess Xu, right? ”
Chen Anning and Xie Xun didn't speak, which was considered to be 'affirming' his guess.
Seeing this, Wen Baolin couldn't help but raise his chin proudly, and then said earnestly: "How about having a meal or drinking tea together for a while?" ”
Xie Xun flatly refused: "No time!" ”
Chen Anning cooperated: "Don't want to ask us for news!" ”
"You can't say that," Wen Baolin said as a matter of course, "when you go out, you have to rely on friends." I'm asking you for news, and you can also ask me for news, which is called message sharing. ”
"What do you know?" Chen Anning was disdainful.
"I can know......" Wen Baolin glanced at the people who were eavesdropping with their ears pricked up in front and back, coughed lightly, and walked over and said in a suppressed voice, "There is nothing I don't know about the things in the capital!" ”
Chen Anning sneered: "Who wouldn't brag?" ”
"You can insult my character, but you must not question the speed with which I can find out the news!" Wen Baolin snorted, "I won't talk about anything else, I'll just talk about something two days ago, which can be regarded as a small test to open your eyes!" ”
Chen Anning looked at him contemptuously.
Wen Baolin's competitiveness was stimulated at once: "Not many people know about this matter, but with the friendship between Xu Wugongzi and that person, he must know." So whether it's bragging, you can find out when you go back and ask. ”
Chen Anning said indifferently: "Then you can talk about it!" ”
Wen Baolin leaned over and pressed the two of them and said, "Lord Xie of Dali Temple knows, right?" The emperor gave him a wedding two days ago! Do you know who the marriage is for? If you don't believe it, it's the second lady of the Chen family. ”
"That second lady is a person with a lot of background."
Xie Xun glanced at Chen Anning and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”
