He was shocked when he heard this, but now he suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into the same situation as his nephew...
"Do you really think that if you don't say anything and don't reveal that person, the other party can really keep you safe?" Chang Sui Ning said: "On the contrary, the more you hide the truth from the other party, the more the other party will stop talking. It will only make you less scrupulous."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on the man's back.
The other party said that even if the matter is revealed today, as long as he is strict enough and does not speak nonsense, he will help him avoid the Chang family's revenge and send him out of the capital to keep him safe...
From the beginning to the end, what he was afraid of was not the small punishment from the government, but the private revenge of the Chang family.
But now Chang Suining's words reminded him that what he should really be afraid of might be his "employer".
In other words, both of them are the Lords of Hell!
The man wished he could slap himself a hundred times at this moment - he had no skills, and he was just eating and waiting to die, so why did he daydream about licking blood with the tip of a knife and making a fortune!
The man who had been crying and shouting since he appeared now wanted to cry but had no tears left, only boundless fear.
The girl whom he regarded as the King of Hell spoke again: "If you tell everything truthfully, I will not hold you accountable for today's mistakes, and I can save your life."
The man was stunned.
Why did you...replace it?
But the temptation was indeed great. He looked at the girl with doubt for a moment: "Are you serious... can you keep your word?"
"Nonsense!" Chang Kuo said, his voice like a bell: "I, the Chang family, always keep their word!"
Chang Suining: "This is your only chance to live. It's your choice whether you want to live or not."
"I choose..." Under the gaze of everyone, the man no longer hesitated: "I will say! I will say anything!"
Those who know the current affairs are heroes, good birds choose trees to roost in, take a step back and the sea and sky are wide to save your life!
A bunch of words that had little to do with his situation popped up in the man's mind, and he said: "Someone instigated me to come here to cause trouble. The painting was given to me by the other person, and what I said was also taught by the other person!"
In addition to the alarm everywhere, everyone became more angry.
It turns out that someone actually ordered her to deliberately slander Mrs. Chang’s reputation!
Either because of his short-tongued cannibalism, or because he was truly impressed by the painting, he subconsciously regarded Mrs. Chang as one of his own - he had a strong sense of substitution and had already cut the man named Zhou into pieces with his eyes.
Seeing Hu Huan and others joining the ranks of the people who were beheading, Yi Ke was extremely anxious - how about he bring a basin of cold water and pour cold water on Lang Jun to wake him up? Otherwise, if Lang Jun wakes up tomorrow, he might have to worry about missing this event. Wait for something to happen and regret it for the rest of your life!
"Quickly tell me who it is!" Chang Sui'an put the painting back on the desk and walked quickly to the man who kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
"This little guy really doesn't know!" the man said, "The person who came forward looked like a servant girl, and she even covered her face with a curtain hat! I'm just a cashier doing errands, how can I dare to inquire so much?"
After Chang Suining heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that this man and Zhou Ding were indeed uncles and nephews. They really only recognized money but not people.
Seeing her expression, the man panicked - could he be regretting it after seeing that he couldn't even let out a decent fart?
He hurriedly said: "But I know they have arranged for others to come over!"
The eyes of the servant girl beside Jie Shi trembled slightly.
The man continued: "I have admired the reputation of General Chang for a long time. Doing such a shameful thing would inevitably make me panic. I was really unsure. At first, I never dared to accept it... But the servant girl told me that as long as
I just have to make a fuss by following her orders, and someone else will take care of the rest, so it’s guaranteed to be foolproof!"
He could feel the opponent's strategizing confidence through the curtain. As soon as he heard that the arrangement was quite thorough, he felt a sense of security immediately.
Now it seems that it is just bullshit!
You can't even get a real painting, so you're trying to frame me up!
This frame-up did not harm others at all, but it harmed him!
"According to this, you have another accomplice present tonight?" There was no surprise on Chang Sui Ning's face, and he looked at everyone while asking: "Have you ever met each other before coming here?"
Since the other party was determined to ruin her reputation at this apprenticeship banquet, it was impossible for her to place her hopes only on this man.
He could only make a fuss. If he wanted to really establish her reputation, someone else would be needed to secretly add fuel to the flames.
It doesn't seem difficult to guess who this person is and who is the most suitable person to do this.
There was a lot of discussion among the people.
The man's face was full of bitterness: "I don't know who this villain is, and I have never beaten him in person..."
Now that I think about it, those people are so cunning that they don't want to get their hands dirty at all, for fear of being dragged out by them later!
The servant girl beside Jie Shi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Just for a moment, she thought that the lady was acting carelessly and actually revealed her wife's identity to this unreliable man.
Now it seems that this person doesn't know much.
Although he had just been humiliated by Chang Sui Ning, Xie's expression gradually calmed down at this time.
Just now she thought of the worst outcome - in comparison, the current situation was at least controllable. As for being contradicted, after tonight, she had a way to make the other party remember it.
"But since you are accomplices, in order to prevent things from going wrong, you must always have a schedule!" Yao Yi walked up and asked steadily: "How do you contact each other, and how do you know when to show up here?
?”
Seeing the "stinky case handler" show up, Chang Sui Ning was happy and relaxed.
Xi'er simply moved a chair over and Chang Suining sat down to rest.
Seeing this, Yao Xia rushed to pour a cup of tea and handed it over, standing next to Chang Suining as if he shared the same hatred.
"We communicated using a lantern!" the man said and pointed out the window: "The servant girl told me to wait in the alley on the back street opposite. As long as I see someone hanging a lantern at the entrance of the alley, that's it.
The time has come!"
When the time came, he immediately ran outside the Dengtai Building and started crying.
"I came here just after I saw the lantern, but it was dark in the alley. The man hung up the lantern in a hurry and left. I only heard the footsteps and had no chance to see the person clearly!"
Yao Yi frowned and asked: "Which alley? How long does it take to get there from here?"
"It's Fenggu Lane on the back street across the street..." The man thought for a while: "It's only half a quarter of an hour!"
Yao Yi immediately said: "Here, ask the boy downstairs to come up and answer the question."
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could call someone, the two bookboys who were squatting at the stairway on the second floor and eavesdropping with the guys in the building hurried over on their own.
"About a quarter of an hour before this person appeared outside the building to cause trouble, who in the building had been out?"
The two book boys thought for a while and said that they remembered that three people had gone out.
One of them was a scholar. According to the book boy's detailed account, the scholar was dragged away by his ears by the wife he had found, and he never came back after leaving.
There was also a female envoy by Duan's side who never came back.
Duan took the initiative to explain: "Because it was getting late, I ordered the female envoy to go back to the house to talk to the Duke so that he could rest early."
She had originally planned to go back at that time, but when she saw Mrs. Xie, who was out of tune with the atmosphere, suddenly appeared, she felt a little uneasy, so she asked the female envoy to go back to her house to deliver a message, asking her husband to wash up and go to bed first.
"I believe Mrs. Duan." Chang Suining ignored it and asked the book boy: "Who is the other one?"
The two book boys looked at the maid beside Mrs. Xie together: "It is the maid beside Mrs. Xie..."
Seeing everyone looking at her, the mentioned servant said coldly: "I have gone out, but it was because my wife was not used to the tea in this building, so I went downstairs and went back to the sedan to get some tea for my wife.
Just tea."
Yao Yi looked at the two book boys and saw both of them nodded.
The servant girl did have a ball of tea in her hand when she returned.
The servant woman raised her chin slightly: "I've only been away for a moment, but I don't have time to hang up lanterns in Fenggu Lane."
Some people subconsciously followed this sentence and thought... Then maybe they should check the scholar who was left with his ears pulled?
But I heard the girl sitting leisurely on the chair say: "You don't have to hang this lantern yourself, right?"
The maid frowned and looked at her.
"Mrs. Xie is here in a sedan. There are four bearers alone. There is no shortage of people who can go and hang the lamps. You only need to confess in secret when you get the tea." Seeing the anger on the servant woman's face, she said
Chang Sui Ning said: "Of course, this is just my guess - we need to investigate whether it is true or false."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Cui Jing and said, "I wonder if you can ask someone from Governor Cui to come up and answer the question?"
Mrs. Xie's eyebrows moved slightly.
What does this mean?
Does it mean that there are people from Xuance Mansion guarding outside?
But when she came, she didn't see Xuance's army there...
Cui Jing nodded, and his subordinates quickly left beside him.
Faced with those frightened and puzzled looks, Cui Jing rarely explained: "There are so many people here today. Cui sent people to secretly patrol near Dengtai Tower to prevent people who took the opportunity to steal and cause trouble to disturb everyone."
Next. I don’t want to disturb the spirit of the festival, so I just ordered you to take regular clothes.”
Hearing this explanation, everyone felt at ease, and those who were from humble backgrounds and full of emotions began to shed tears of gratitude - how could they have allowed Xuance Army to protect them while they drank and had fun!
Today's experience is told, Guangzong Yaozu is no longer a problem!
And this experience is not over yet, it seems that as long as you haven’t stepped out of the Dengtai Tower, you never know what will happen next moment——
Soon, five or six Xuance soldiers in regular uniforms walked up the stairs with neat steps.
Looking at the Xuance troops who were obviously well-trained despite wearing regular uniforms, Xie suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xuance's army has the duty to maintain the stability of the capital, so Governor Cui's actions are understandable.
But the Xuance Army is not comparable to the ordinary drunkards and officials in the yamen. They have been secretly watching nearby. Could it be...
No, it shouldn't happen.
Even though they were keeping an eye on the area, they couldn't follow everyone who was walking around without reason.
The clenched fingers in Jie's sleeves slowly loosened again, and there was no trace of anything on his face.
Until one of Xuance Jun responded to Yao Yi's question, saying that after her servant went upstairs to get tea, she saw that one of her bearers had left with a lantern, and the bearer turned back about a quarter of an hour later——
"My subordinates saw with their own eyes that when the sedan bearer turned back, the lamp in his hand was missing." The Xuance soldier said seriously.
As soon as this sound fell, everyone's expression changed.
