Chapter 545: Origin (II)
Zhao Ling couldn't help but ask, "How did you make such a fuss?"
Chen Ao muttered: "Hmph, obviously I am a spy of Western Xia, it's good that I haven't seen you in general!"
Of course, Lan Yuyan knew that this was talking about her, so she sneered and said, "I am a spy of Western Xia? What a joke! Those barbarians in Xia Prefecture who don't play are worthy of me to be a spy? Do you think that I bought gunpowder crossbow arrows to help those people? Ridiculous! Ignorant!"
When Chen Ao heard her deny it, he laughed angrily and said, "Aren't you buying weapons for the Li clan in Western Xia, are you still a spy for your Persian Empire? Could it be that the Persian Empire wants to destroy Khotan, Karakhani, Gaochang and other countries all the way to our Great Song Dynasty? Isn't this ridiculous?"
Lan Yuyan calmed down a little, and said, "I didn't buy weapons to fight, but to take revenge!"
Everyone in the room was stunned, and there was a curious look in their eyes. Lan Yuyan sighed, as if she had a stomach full of words to confide in. And Chen Ao happened to be a very gossipy person, and his curiosity had been completely aroused at the moment, so he didn't say a word, quietly waiting for Lan Yuyan to continue.
Lan Yuyan really said: "I was born in a noble family in Persia, and I was born with a noble status, and there are countless people who serve me......"
Chen Ao thought to himself, this can be seen, those Persian men are bowing down to you, and they are obedient!
Lan Yuyan continued: "But when I was twelve years old, my uncle led someone to kill my father and steal my family's position!"
When she said this, there was bitter hatred in her tone. If it was a fabricated lie, there would never have been such strong feelings. Therefore, Chen Ao, Zhao Ling and others quickly believed the story.
Chen Ao couldn't help but think to himself, what an old-fashioned story, followed by the plot of exile and revenge......
Sure enough, Lan Yuyan said, "Fortunately, there are some loyal people in the family who rescued me. We traveled eastward and wandered in many countries. It wasn't until he was exiled to Hulu County that he settled down. ”
Chen Ao snorted coldly, he wanted to expose the truth about her being a horse bandit, but after thinking about it, he held back.
Lan Yuyan didn't notice Chen Ao's strange appearance, of course she hadn't been able to guess it, in fact, Chen Ao already knew her details.
She continued: "After all these years, I have not forgotten to take revenge. That's when we thought of buying weapons and gunpowder. These things are rare in our country, and they can be regarded as the most powerful things. As long as we have these, we will definitely be able to take back control of the family!"
Lan Yuyan snorted and choked, glanced at everyone, and saw that Chen Ao's beautiful wives and concubines were a little concerned, obviously believing her words, and also expressed sympathy for her. Lan Yuyan was very satisfied with the story he had made up, and continued: "So, Lord Chen, I did not buy weapons and gunpowder to disadvantage your country. So, can you return Boss Wan's goods to me now?"
Chen Ao was silent for a long time. Just when Lan Yuyan thought he was about to agree, Chen Ao suddenly smiled and said lightly, "What does this have to do with me?"
Lan Yuyan was stunned, and Chen Ao continued: "Wan Yeqiu is a citizen of my Great Song Dynasty, he has violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official naturally wants to arrest him. As for the things he smuggled, they are also forbidden things in my Great Song Dynasty. Even if you use these things, it's not to disadvantage my Great Song, but I can't know the law and break the law! However, if you want me to release the prisoner and hand over the stolen goods, that would be wrong!"
A cold look flashed in Lan Yuyan's eyes. She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, gritted her teeth and sneered a few times, and said, "Okay...... Good...... In that case, then I'll take my leave!"
"Don't send it!" Chen Ao said lightly.
Seeing Lan Yuyan leave the county government with hatred, the people in the house came back to their senses. Liang Xiaoya's sympathy was a little overflowing, and she said: "I think this blue jade smoke is indeed quite pitiful. Why can't we help her?"
Yun Lu patted her shoulder and smiled: "Xianggong naturally has his reasons for doing this. ”
Chen Ao smiled and nodded, "Yes! The story of Lan Yuyan is beautifully written, but it is a little untrue. Hmph, how could I really be moved by her lies?"
Zhao Ling asked, "Do you know she's lying?"
Chen Ao said: "Although I don't know what the truth is. But just because Lan Yuyan never refused to say anything about a gust of wind, I can conclude that although this story is wonderful, it may not be true. This blue girl is obviously hiding a lot of things from me!"
At this time, Lan Yuyan hurriedly walked towards Fuxi Tower with Holkoz. Holkoz had never seen Lan Yuyan so angry. He knew that it must be the official surnamed Chen who made Lan Yuyan unhappy. He didn't dare to speak, so he could only secretly make up his mind in his heart that he must break Chen Ao's body into ten thousand pieces and give Lan Yu a breath.
Lan Yuyan walked to the door of Fuxi Tower and suddenly stopped. She turned to look down the street, and Chen Ao's men had been removed a lot. After all, now that it is known that Xuanning is not here, and Lan Yuyan's manpower is not large, so there is no need for everyone to guard it.
Chen Ao had already ordered Feng Hu to transfer some of his people to various city gates for deployment. He was really a little worried about the promise of a gust of wind - ten days later, he would sack the merchants in Hulu County. Chen Ao could not help but be vigilant against this.
Lan Yuyan sneered and said to Hall, "How long will it take for our people to arrive?"
Hall knew she was referring to a gust of wind. Before going to the county office, Lan Yuyan sent people back to Xishan to gather people, the purpose of which was to carry out a strong attack when Chen Ao refused to agree to return the goods. Could it be that the time has come for saber rattling? Holkotz's heart jumped.
He said, "At their speed, it should be fast!"
Lan Yuyan nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as they arrive, they will immediately order an attack on the county government!
Holkoz shuddered slightly. Although they had the ability to kill Chen Ao, it was when the other party was unprepared and assassinated. At this time, it was still broad daylight, and Lan Yuyan actually wanted to forcibly attack the official mansion and kill the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Is that really good?
Although he was a little skeptical of Lan Yuyan's order, Holkoz agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, even if Lan Yuyan asked him to die, he would not hesitate.
The two of them were just about to enter the building when they heard someone shouting in the street: "Oh no—the horse bandits have come here—"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, thinking, "It's been here so soon?" But their orders haven't been passed down yet!
They looked up in the direction of Xicheng, and sure enough, they saw smoke and dust flying in the distance, and it seemed that many people were running towards this side!
