Chapter 116: Charlatans, traversing people
"You're finally here." Jincheng County, Tongchun Inn. Xu Zan looked at Chen Anning and Xie Xun with a vegetable face, and said bitterly, "If I don't come again, I will lose weight into bean sprouts." ”
Chen Anning looked at his face, which had indeed lost a lot of weight, and said curiously: "Didn't you just ask you to check the case, why did you still check yourself like this?" ”
"To put it lightly," Xu Zan pinched the cake on the table and poured bitter water, "As soon as Baolin and I arrived in Shuofang County, we found out that Song Shizhong had disbanded the enclosed ranch, thinking that the two of us acted carelessly and scared the snake, so we sneaked to Jincheng County. ”
"I'm afraid of startling the snake again, it's a good inn I don't dare to live, I don't dare to go to a good restaurant, I can only take these things to satisfy my hunger all day long, and I almost vomit when I eat."
Chen Anning glanced at the environment of the Tongchun Inn, it was indeed not good. Looking at the dusty clothes on the two of them, I couldn't help but sympathize: "You have worked hard." ”
"We don't want you to talk about hard work," Xu Zan said with Wen Baolin in his arms, "We want you to treat us to a big meal immediately!" ”
Wen Baolin nodded repeatedly.
Although his previous life was not as rich as Xu Zhan's, he had never suffered from eating and sleeping in the open.
"Let's go." Xie Xun's gaze fell on Xu Zhan's tired face, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his waist, threw them to the shopkeeper, and strode out.
"Wait a minute." Xu Zan and Wen Baolin hurriedly went to the guest room to pack their luggage and chased them out.
After having dinner at Juxian Building, the best restaurant in Jincheng County, and staying in Fubaolou, the best inn in Jincheng County, Xu Zan and Wen Baolin took a bath one after another, changed into clean clothes, and then gathered in Xie Xun's room and talked about the results of their recent investigation.
"Zhao Yongsheng, the largest horse farm owner in Jincheng County, should be Song Shizhong's person, but he also has secret contacts with Lu Deqiu, the Taishou of Jincheng County, and they have close contacts." Xu Zhan's expression was serious, "But we haven't found any clues about Lu Deqiu's dealings with Song Shizhong at present." ”
Wen Baolin took advantage of him to drink water, and then said: "This Zhao Yongsheng has a person named Xu Tianyi under him, and this person is very good at deception. Judging from the information we have found so far, this person not only used one of Lu Deqiu's concubines to play a game and harm the sons or wealthy businessmen who came to Jincheng County to play, but also deliberately approached the horse merchants who came to do business and tricked them into the casino, causing their family to be ruined. ”
Chen Anning asked with interest: "How did this Xu Tianyi use Lu Deqiu's concubine to make a game and harm those sons and wealthy businessmen?" ”
It is said that Xu Tianyi asked this concubine to pretend to be Lu Deqiu's daughter, and pretended to be hunted down and killed where those sons and wealthy businessmen passed. After these sons rescued the rich businessmen, they deliberately revealed half of their identities to cause these people to misunderstand. Even if he heard it more than once, now that he talks about it, Xu Zan is still full of praise, "Later, when this concubine deliberately seduces, when these sons and wealthy businessmen can't hold back and want to do their good deeds, Lu Deqiu will appear just right." ”
"The identity of the daughters of official families is extraordinary, and these sons and wealthy businessmen can only take money to eliminate disasters in order to avoid prison or the possibility of being killed."
"It is said that this Xu Tianyi has a very good grasp of proportion, and the money that these criminal sons or wealthy businessmen take out to eliminate disasters is almost half of his net worth."
Immortal jump?
After Chen Anning listened, he quietly glanced at Xie Xun.
"What's the deal with approaching the horse merchants?" Xie Xun, who had a strange heart, asked.
"This scam is also amazing," Xu Zan said with a sigh, "They don't cheat every horse dealer, but they will first find a target, find a horse dealer who has a certain scale of business." After finding a target, Zhao Yongsheng came forward to ask the price of the horse, and then ate, drank and talked about business. In the process of talking, Zhao Yongsheng will deliberately raise the price of the horse by two or three percentage points above the market price to lure the horse dealer to take the bait. ”
Later, halfway through the business, Zhao Yongsheng would propose a change of venue. In order to do business with him, horse merchants often do not refuse. ”
"At this time, Zhao Yongsheng will take them to the casino that Xu Tianyi is in charge of."
"When they arrived at the casino, under the manipulation of Xu Tianyi, these horse merchants would always start with small wins, and after winning a few games, they would lose a big handful, then win again, lose again, and so on until the horse merchants lost all their money. Xu Tianyi will take the initiative to borrow money or introduce usury to these horse dealers with a little luck and other words, and the horse dealers will often not refuse when they lose their red eyes, until they will lose all the horses they brought, Xu Tianyi will not stop. ”
Celestial Bureau?
Chen Anning and Xie Xun glanced at each other again.
There was a strange glint in the eyes of both of them.
Retracting his gaze, Xie Xun asked casually, "Are there any others?" ”
"It's a lot," Xu Zan became more and more excited, and even began to praise Xu Tianyi, "This Xu Tianyi is really a talent, but it's a pity that he used his talent to cheat." ”
In addition to cheating on the son, the wealthy merchant and the horse merchant, it is said that he also deliberately raised a group of beautiful women, like a horse merchant, selected various targets for these women to meet them, and then when he was in love, he found various reasons to defraud the target of money. After the target finds out that he has been cheated, he asks the target to pull the target again on the grounds of returning half of the fraudulent funds, and so on. ”
Wen Baolin added: "I heard that the number of people who have been deceived has reached hundreds. ”
Kill the pig.
After Chen Anning sighed, he looked at Xie Xun with a somewhat strange expression: It seems that there are more than two of them.
Xie Xun didn't speak, gave Xu Zan a look, and asked him to continue.
Xu Zan then talked about the deception techniques designed by Xu Tianxia such as dividing the money equally, lottery, touching porcelain, and allowing his children to enter the country to study.
Chen Anning asked in amazement: "Are they all said by others, or have they already found out the evidence?" ”
"It's all about asking people." Xu Zan couldn't help but praise Xu Tianyi a few more words, and said, "This Xu Tianyi heard that he is extremely cunning, and I am afraid that rashly checking the truth will disturb him, so I am waiting for you to come." ”
"Although we have not verified whether these deceptions are planned by Xu Tianyi," Wen Baolin added beside him, "but when we inquired about these news, we also secretly found a few people who had been deceived, and they confirmed that these deceptions were true." ”
"Next," Xie Xun was quite cautious about the idea that there were other people besides him and Chen Anning, "You two go and pick a few targets they deceive, and after that, lurk around them and collect evidence at close range." Miss Chen Er and I continued to investigate the ranch as originally planned to cover for you. ”
"Yes!" Xu Zan agreed without hesitation.
After listening to Xu Tianyi's many tricks, he was full of curiosity about Xu Tianyi early on, if it wasn't for the serious matter, he would have gone to the casino to see it as soon as possible.
Xie Xun reminded him: "Beware of not being deceived. ”
Xu Zhan snorted unconvinced: "How could I be deceived?" ”
Chen Anning looked at his confident and disdainful appearance, and raised his eyebrows quietly: Generally speaking, saying this means that he will be deceived, and he will be deceived very badly.
