Yang Yichan was finally persuaded by Yin Fenglan. Yin Fenglan decided on a strategy. As long as Yang Yichan acted according to this, he would surely learn the whereabouts of the Ninth Cauldron.
The next day, Yang Yichan took two personal maids and bravely entered the Tai Chi Palace to serve Xuanzong.
After seeing Yang Yichan enter the palace with her own eyes, Yin Fenglan breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to convince Yang Yichan, Yin Fenglan had to risk returning to Chang'an to explain herself. Now that the matter was done, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. She must rush back to her secret villa at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible.
In order to not attract attention and reduce trouble, Yin Fenglan dressed up as an ordinary peasant woman, covered her head and face with a cloth, held a bamboo basket with eggs, and hurriedly walked towards the city gate.
A few feet behind her, various people including woodcutter, begging monks, wandering doctors and embroiderers selling ropa were followed intermittently. They were all the master protectors of Caiyi Society, secretly protecting her safety.
As they approached the city gate, two dandy boys riding tall horses came scooting over. Heng Dao immediately stopped Yin Fenglan. One of the yamen, domineering and arrogant, pointed his riding whip at the bamboo basket and shouted arrogantly: "How do you sell eggs?
"
Yin Fenglan was stunned. She really didn't know the market price of eggs sold in Chang'an, so she could only bow and salute, and replied bravely: "Sir, my eggs are for my own use and are not for sale."
"Snapped"
A whip was whipped at Yin Fenglan, and the dandy boy waved the riding crop and cursed: "What the hell, what the hell do you want? How dare you not sell what I want?!"
Yin Fenglan instinctively wanted to dodge, but suddenly remembered that she was an ordinary peasant woman at the moment and could not use martial arts.
Yin Fenglan could only stiffen up, and was slapped on her left cheek with a whip, leaving a bloodstain as thick as a finger, and the skin she usually took care of was ruined.
Yin Fenglan could only knock out her front teeth and swallow blood, and she said with anger: "This basket of eggs is not worth much. If the young master likes it, the slave family will give this basket of eggs to the young master."
"Snapped"
Another whip came, hitting Yin Fenglan's right cheek. This time, the force of the riding whip was stronger, and the skin of Yin Fenglan's cheek was ripped open. The blood instantly covered Yin Fenglan's right eye.
The dandy shouted: "Bitch, can't I afford eggs? I need you, a cheap slave, to deliver them?!"
Yin Fenglan was furious and wanted to eat this man alive.
Just as Yin Fenglan was about to command the woodcutter behind her, the alms monk stepped forward to intervene. Two domestic slaves rushed out from beside the dandy boy. Like mad dogs, they picked up a piece of half-dry and half-wet horse dung from the ground and stuffed it into Yin Fenglan's mouth.
Yin Fenglan couldn't help but lick the horse dung with her tongue. She felt extremely fishy, her throat gushed, and she vomited out all the overnight rice in one gulp.
Yin Fenglan had never been so humiliated before. She was furious. She spread her fingers, embroidered her shoes a little, and was about to pounce on the two dandy boys.
A man selling pancakes at the stall next to him suddenly rushed out and grabbed Yin Fenglan's wrist. Yin Fenglan felt that her pulse was blocked, and half of her body was paralyzed, unable to move.
The man selling pancakes casually gave Yin Fenglan a big ear scraper, which made Yin Fenglan's eyes gleam with stars and her nose bleeds.
The man selling cooking cakes said to the dandy: "You two gentlemen, my mother-in-law is vulgar and uneducated. I have invited two adults to give her a lot. Please let her go."
As the man selling the pancakes spoke, he pressed Yin Fenglan's neck and made her kneel to the ground. He kowtowed to the dandy boy and said, "You bastard, why don't you apologize to the high officials of Ximen!"
The dandy boy still seemed to be upset and waved his hand, instructing the slave to take action.
The two slaves stepped forward aggressively, grabbed the basket, and placed all the eggs on Yin Fenglan's head. The mushy egg whites and yolks were all over her head and brain.
The man selling pancakes looked cowardly and timid. He was angry but dared not speak out. He kept holding Yin Fenglan's head and kowtowed in front of the dandy's horse to apologize.
The dandy boy just cursed and left.
The incident happened suddenly. Yin Fenglan's woodcutter, alms monk and others did not react for a moment. When they came to their senses, several people rushed forward to intervene, trying to rescue Yin Fenglan from the hands of the man selling cooking cakes.
Seeing that Yin Fenglan did not send any signal, these disguised guards could only intervene as planned.
Doctor You Fang said, "This brother flatters powerful people and bullies women in broad daylight. How can it be that he is a hero?"
The man selling pancakes looked the doctor up and down and said angrily: "It's none of your business, you little pretty boy, get out of here!"
The alms monk walked up to the man selling cooking cakes, clasped his hands together, and persuaded him: "That's good, that's good. This benefactor has something to say, so please don't..."
Before the alms monk finished speaking, the man selling cooking cakes pointed his middle finger at him and angrily said: "You bald donkey, I don't care about my own wife, what are you doing!"
Could it be that you bald donkey is also having an affair with her? Fuck your mother!"
The embroiderer selling ropa also squeezed in, shook the fragrant brocade handkerchief, and teased the gangster: "That man, you have mistaken the person. How can Aunt Zhang be your wife?"
The man selling cooking cakes rushed to the small merchants doing business at the gate of the city and said: "My neighbors, please bear witness, is this woman having a daughter-in-law, Jin Lian?"
As soon as the neighbors heard this, they immediately put down their work and gathered around, pointing at Yin Fenglan and shouting:
"Wu Da is in charge of his own daughter-in-law, what are you outsiders saying?"
"This woman is not Jin Lian. Ever since Wu Da married this woman, she has been worried about her. Although this Jin Lian is old and has loose skin and flesh, she is old-hearted and spends all day hooking up with men."
"Isn't that right? She has many hookups. I think this wandering doctor is having an affair with her."
"Jin Lian has become more capable now. He even doesn't let go of the monks who ask for alms, tsk tsk..."
The woodcutter, the beggar monk and other followers looked confused. Could it be that the owner of the house, Yin Fenglan, looked exactly like the wife of Wuhan University?
Among the chaotic crowd, no one knew who had secretly taken action, unknowingly knocking down the woodcutter, the alms-giving monk, and other entourage one by one.
…
When Yin Fenglan opened her eyes again, she was already in a prison cage. She had iron shackles on her feet, a shackle on her neck, and a tattered prison uniform.
In the Tiger Hall opposite the cage, several soldiers wore helmets and armor, held swords and halberds, looking majestic. One person in the middle, dressed in black brocade clothes, with dignity and grace, sat firmly on a tiger-skin handsome chair.
The man's hair was tied up in a purple gold crown, with a piece of white jade in the middle. He was playing with tiger gall made of rosewood in his hands, and his every move had a fierce aura that looked down upon the world.
This man has a face as deep as water, a cold and majestic appearance, and a pair of sharp and deep black eyes, like an eagle, which makes people dare not look directly and can't help but feel awe.
Yin Fenglan was about to cry but had no tears, knowing whose hands she had fallen into.
