Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 27: Tit for Tat Ye Weiyang (3)
Lu Ning's heart sank - sure enough! He was here to ask questions! However, she didn't intend to take the responsibility for nothing.
She put down the bill and pushed it back, smiling and saying: "Your Highness King Yi, we must be reasonable in everything! Last time, our brother accidentally injured someone's life, and the caravan paid the compensation to the victims. This is what we should do. But today
Why do we, the caravan, need to deal with the aftermath of what Commander Zhang did? We are not familiar with this Master Zhang."
"Not familiar?" Yu Fengjin frowned slightly, with a slight displeasure on his face: "Zhang Heng broke into the hotel today to search for people, and you know the people he searched for. Only you and I know about this matter. If it wasn't for the caravan to leak the secret,
I really can’t imagine how the news came out!”
After saying that, he turned his eyes, and his sharp eyes were like two rays of lightning, hitting Lu Ning. Lu Ning couldn't help but feel his whole body tremble, and he was instantly in awe of the seemingly gentle man in front of him.
After calming down, she still said cautiously: "Your Highness King Yi, our caravan has always been based on integrity and loyalty! Over the years, as long as we accept the client's entrustment, we will be responsible to the end. Selling client secrets,
We won't do it! Your Highness would be better off checking the people around you."
Seeing that Lu Ning defended the caravan in this way, and it didn't look like he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, Yu Fengjin was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Master Lu just took office, does he trust the people under you so much?"
Hearing this, Lu Ning suddenly straightened his face and said sternly: "This matter of trust has nothing to do with how long I have been in office. Our brothers in the caravan are all righteous and upright heroes, so we
You will gain some false reputation in the world. What's more, we don't know the cause and effect of this matter, so what benefit does betraying you do to us?"
Her blind confidence and stubbornness suddenly made Yu Fengjin feel a little cute. At the same time, he also confirmed that maybe Lu Ning really didn't know about this matter and had been framed.
"How did I hear that Zhang Heng just came to visit the caravan a few days ago? Why was that man's position exposed as soon as he left? How did the leader of the Lu Gang explain this?" Yu Fengjin stared patiently.
She had a smile on her face.
"Yes, Zhang Heng and Liu Rong did come here." Lu Ning raised his chin slightly and said firmly: "They used both soft and hard tactics to force us to hand over the person, but I would rather offend them than reveal a word. And Gangzhong
The other brothers don’t know about this, so there is no possibility of leaking the secret!”
Yu Fengjin curled her lips, took out a note and put it in front of her, and asked in a nonchalant manner: If it is true as the Lu gang leader said, how should this note be explained? Zhang Heng admitted it himself.
The note came from the caravan."
He said this deliberately to deceive her. Lu Ning's eyes drifted to the note, and he looked at the notes written on it like dead branches: According to reliable information, the man is in the Xiaoxiang villa, please ask Mr. Zhang for a night attack
In the annex, you will definitely gain something!
When she first read the note, Lu Ning was suffocated, but then she found that the note was not signed, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, this nameless note doesn't mean anything. I want to use this to...
It would be too far-fetched to convict the caravan!"
"Okay." Yu Fengjin pouted and had no choice but to say: "In this case, we can only ask each brother of the caravan to leave the words one by one according to the note. This way we can know whose hand the note is from!"
Lu Ning sat up straight, but did not compromise easily. She knew that once she agreed to this proposal, it would mean that she was suspicious of her brothers. Although she did not completely trust her, she still had to take the caravan's face into consideration!
Yu Fengjin seemed to see her confusion and continued to persuade: "Leader Lu, you want to prove the innocence of your brothers, this is your only chance. Or do you want me to directly ask Zhang Heng for that name?
At that time, it will no longer be possible for us to talk calmly."
I have to say that his words still moved Lu Ning. She let out an inaudible sigh, then looked at Ping Si and ordered: "Ping Si, let the brothers gather outside the door!"
"No need!" Mr. Murong, who had been watching silently, suddenly interrupted her. He walked steadily in front of Yu Fengjin, respectfully cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said: "Your Highness, King Yi, is old and incompetent. When he was young, he relied on imitation.
He makes a living by doing calligraphy and painting. The names on the caravan roster are all written by everyone. As long as the old man takes the notes and compares them, he may be able to find the person who leaked the secret!"
"Excuse me, sir!" Yu Fengjin looked at him and smiled slightly, her tone much gentler.
"Your Highness, I have a merciless request!" Mr. Murong bowed and bowed again, and then said: "If this matter is really caused by a brother in the gang, please give me some mercy and let us solve it ourselves.
Don’t worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!”
Yu Fengjin did not speak, but looked sideways at Lu Ning, who had a complicated expression. Lu Ning weighed the pros and cons in his mind and had to nod.
Soon, Ping Si sent the roster. Mr. Murong lit three lamps and compared the words on it with the words on the note one by one under the bright light.
Time passed by silently. The brothers outside the door didn't know what was going on inside, so they could only endure the sleepiness and cold wind and wait patiently. Ping Si took several servants and carefully served Yu Fengjin and Yan Rong.
.
Only Lu Ning still sat motionless, waiting for the test results with complicated emotions. Until Mr. Murong suddenly paused, and then gave her a meaningful look. Her face gradually dimmed under the shadow of the light,
The lowered eyes covered the disappointment and anger.
"It seems that we have achieved results." Yu Fengjin dusted off her clothes, stood up slowly, and walked to Mr. Murong regardless of Lu Ning's mood at the moment, watching him circle the roster with cinnabar.
Come up with a name.
Yu Fengjin took the roster and took a look at it, then handed it to Lu Ning and said softly: "In that case, let's leave it to the leader of the Lu Gang."
"You don't have to read it. Ping Si, bring the person here!" Lu Ning gently pushed the roster away, keeping her eyes lowered, not wanting anyone to see through her emotions: how much she trusted her brother just now,
How sad and angry she felt at this time - sad for the decline of the caravan, angry for her brother's betrayal!
Not long after, Totuo and Heping Si walked through the door with Elder Feng in tow. He didn't recognize Yi Wang Yu Fengjin, but he knew his retinue Yanrong.
"Young Gang Leader, it's so late, what do you want to see me for?" Perhaps he guessed why the two of them came here, but his tone of voice was not as arrogant as usual.
Lu Ning finally raised his eyes, but all the emotions inside were burned away by anger.
"Elder Feng, as the veteran of the caravan, you should be familiar with the gang rules, right? Why don't you remind all brothers what the fourth article of our gang rules is about?"
Elder Feng looked at her in surprise and asked angrily: "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? You called me here in the middle of the night just to recite the gang rules to you?"
"It's not me who wants to hear it, it's this guy who wants to hear it!" Lu Ning raised his finger and pointed at Yu Fengjin, saying expressionlessly.
Elder Feng finally got the chance to size up this uninvited guest and asked with pretense of confusion: "This is..."
"This is the famous His Highness King Yi! He came here in the middle of the night just to hear Elder Feng recite the gang rules. Do you want to memorize it or not?" Lu Ning slapped the table and shouted sternly.
Sure enough, the person who came was King Yi! After confirming the identity of the other party, Elder Feng twisted his beard and pondered: What's going on? King Yi should be entangled by Zhang Heng now! He shouldn't appear here! Could it be... something is wrong?
What happened?
"Hurry up!" Before he could think about it, Lu Ning shouted again, and his anger seemed to rise to the roof.
Elder Feng had no choice but to clear his throat and said loudly: "The fourth gang rule of the caravan stipulates that the identity and information of customers must not be disclosed under any circumstances. Anyone who violates this will have their tongues cut off and they will be expelled from the caravan."
"Very good!" Lu Ning stood up angrily and shouted coldly: "Come here! Cut off Feng Baonan's tongue and expel him from the caravan! If anyone dares to intercede, he will be punished together with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pingsi raised his foot without saying a word and kicked him down on the knee. Feng Baonan let out a scream and knelt heavily on the ground. Before he could react, Pingsi clamped his arms.
He twisted his back, and then Toto came over, grabbed his bun with his left hand and pulled him back, while he had already pulled out the dagger with his right hand.
"You...what are you going to do! I am the elder of the caravan. Aren't you afraid of causing public anger if you attack me?" Looking at the weird smile on Toto's face and the sharp blade of the dagger, Feng Baonan's screams changed.
tune.
Lu Ning didn't talk nonsense. She picked up the informing note, held it in front of his eyes, and said sternly: "Do you see clearly? I have nothing to say now!"
The moment he saw the note, Elder Feng panicked and understood that Zhang Heng had betrayed him, and King Yi would never give up on him!
"What do you mean by this? Do you have to punish me just because of a note with no preface and no follow-up words?" Elder Feng was still struggling to his death. After all, once he accepted it, he would be dead!
"You are still stubborn!" Lu Ning was disappointed with her and was a little angry: "In order to compete with me for power, you are so crazy that you secretly communicated with Zhang Heng and Liu Rong and leaked secrets. I have warned you repeatedly that this matter is not trivial.
, but you still insist on going your own way! Since you only have fame and fortune in your heart, and you are willing to destroy the reputation of the caravan to achieve your goal, then the caravan cannot keep you."
After saying that, she waved her hand to Toto, then turned around and stood with her hands behind her back, leaving him with a decisive back view.
Elder Feng was completely panicked. At the critical moment of life and death, he finally lost his temper and cursed at Lu Ning: "You Lu Ning! I think you are the one who does whatever it takes to get power! I, Feng Baonan, am in the caravan.
You have worked hard for decades, and there is no credit but hard work! You don't care about being cruel to me, aren't you afraid that other brothers in the gang will be dissatisfied? Aren't you afraid that someone will sue the old gang leader, and your position as the young gang leader will not be guaranteed?"
When Toto heard this, he was so angry that he clamped Elder Feng's chin, pulled out his tongue, and stabbed him down with a sharp knife. There was no more yelling and cursing in the hall - Elder Feng had already
He fainted from the severe pain.
Ping Si picked up half of the bloody tongue with a handkerchief and held it in front of Lu Ning. Lu Ning didn't even look at it, but waved Ping Si to hand it over to Yu Fengjin and asked expressionlessly: "Your Highness, King Yi,
Are you satisfied with this punishment?"
"The leader of the Lu Gang is so fair and selfless, I am naturally satisfied." Yu Fengjin stood up slowly, smiled and cupped her hands: "I have been wasting too much time today, so I will take my leave now!"
Mr. Murong sent him and Yan Rong to the door, but he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Although there was a bit of a misunderstanding today, one thing comes to another. I wonder when the Lu gang master will be free to meet?"
Lu Ning braced himself and said a little tiredly: "In case we are troubled by unexpected things again and break the appointment, why not wait until I handle the affairs within the gang, and I will definitely pay you a visit!"
"Okay! I'm waiting for news from the Lu Gang leader." Yu Fengjin smiled slightly and walked away with Yan Rong. This chapter has been completed!
