Chapter Thirty: Leading the Snake out of the Cave 1
"No response means the plan is going well. We don't have to worry. Just wait here with peace of mind." After Shao Yan said these words, he found that the faces of the two guys were particularly ugly. The two exchanged glances with each other.
He picked up the knife and pressed it against Shao Yan's shoulder angrily. The bandits were all dumbfounded. Shao Yan looked at the sharp edge of the knife, and his legs and feet were a little weak. He couldn't kill but nodded. As long as the other party's hand pushed lightly, the consequences would be disastrous.
, then he had the courage to ask: "What are you doing? Do you still have me as the second boss in your eyes? Take the knife away!"
One of them, who was rather fat, said coldly: "Second Master, I'm really sorry. Before the First Master left, he told you that if he hasn't come out within the time of one stick of incense, we brothers will escort you back to the village."
How could Shao Yan not know that what sounds like an escort is actually a kidnapping? So far, he has never heard of someone escorting someone with a knife on their neck. Grandma, who do you think I am? Just the two of you.
Do you want to tie me up too?
"I see, brother is really thoughtful. Well, you put the knife down and I will go back with you."
Hearing what Shao Yan said, the two of them glanced at each other and put down the knives in their hands one after another. Shao Yan had an idea, stood up on tiptoes, looked behind them, and shouted: "Brother is finally back." After that, he quickly left
He took out a bag of broken silver from his arms and sprinkled it on the ground, then ran away.
The two believed it to be true, and looked back suddenly, only to find that there was no one behind them. They were so angry that they gritted their teeth. They wanted to turn around and teach the guy who deceived them a lesson, but unexpectedly, the other person had already disappeared without a trace. The two ordered everyone to come forward.
They went to catch up, but the bandits were all squatting on the ground picking up pieces of silver. Who had time to look for them? The two had no choice but to chase them by themselves. Shao Yan was exhausted and ran desperately along the way, but accidentally got into the trap.
It was a dead end, dark and narrow inside. Shao Yan couldn't run anymore and leaned against the wall panting. The two bandits quickly blocked the entrance of the alley.
Looking at the two dark figures, Shao Yan was extremely nervous. He thought that his little cleverness was enough to save his life, but his cleverness was mistaken for him. Now he finally knows what it means to be unworthy of heaven and earth.
I could only close my eyes and wait for the misfortune to come. At this moment, I heard the voice of Bai Mei from outside the alley, "Your Highness, the little one is here"
In this case, Baimei's arrival was undoubtedly a timely help. Shao Yan was slightly relieved. The two bandits suddenly turned around without any precautions. Baimei attacked with both fists at the same time. No matter how good these two guys are in martial arts,
Unable to dodge his innate magic, he immediately fainted and fell to the ground.
"My little help is late, please forgive me, Your Highness!" Baimei knelt at the entrance of the alley and greeted him respectfully. Seeing that the bandage on his arm was gone, Shao Yan asked with concern: "Brother Baimei, is the injury on your arm healed?
"
Bai Mei stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The minor injury is no longer serious."
"That's good." Shao Yan walked out of the alley and looked around. He didn't see Liu Fuju or anyone else, not even a member of the Liu family. Baimei was good at observing words and expressions and could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, you don't have to
Look, Mr. Liu and Mr. Deng are interrogating the prisoners."
"Ask the prisoner?"
"Yes, thanks to you this time, otherwise Mr. Deng wouldn't be able to catch the ticket seller."
"Ticket seller? What kind of ticket seller?" Shao Yan became more and more confused as he listened. He remembered that before going out, Liu Fuju told him that if something happened on the way to transport tea, he must save his life. The two of them had a day limit. If
If Liu Fuju didn't see Shao Yan come back for a day, he would immediately ask Lord Deng to send troops to set up an ambush in the mansion. Shao Yan would try every means to lure the one-eyed dragon to Liu's mansion. Now that the one-eyed dragon has been captured, why did he suddenly find another ticket dealer?
Bai Mei couldn't answer for a while, so Shao Yan asked him to find a few capable servants to rush to Changqing Village to rescue Liu Meng. Although Shao Yan didn't have a good impression of this girl, he couldn't just watch her suffer.
Besides, this girl has been through enough for one day.
Bai Mei followed his instructions and brought more than a dozen servants to rescue him. Shao Yan quickly returned to the Liu Mansion. Liu Fuju and Deng Bingtang were sitting in front of the living room. Several government officials stood on both sides holding wooden sticks with their hands.
It looks very much like a small yamen. Liu Chan is right behind Liu Fuju. He is wearing a white robe today. The complexion on his face is white and translucent. His lips are covered with a light layer of lipstick. He holds a box of rouge in his hand and applies it from time to time.
On the face, this guy is naturally good at makeup. If he doesn’t put on makeup for a day, he will get seriously ill.
During the dinner, the one-eyed dragon was seen kneeling in the center of the living room in embarrassment. Deng Bingtang asked sternly: "Chang Qing, do you know your guilt now that things have happened?"
The one-eyed dragon raised his head blankly, looked forward, and said disdainfully: "Deng Bingtang, Liu Fuju, you have put so much effort into it, could it be that you just want to kill me?"
"No one wanted to kill you, you just showed up uninvited," Liu Fuju said.
The one-eyed dragon snorted coldly and said calmly: "I have known for a long time that Shao Yan is unreliable. Yes, from the surface, I lost this time, but I advise you not to get too proud too soon. Shao Yan has many people around him.
The two brothers Agui and Afu are following me. As long as I can't get back within a stick of incense, they will kill Shao Yan and the eldest lady of the Liu family."
The words of the one-eyed dragon were so shocking that everyone present was immediately dimmed. If that were the case, even if the one-eyed dragon was guilty of a heinous crime, he would never be imprisoned. Otherwise, one loss would cost two lives. It was obviously a loss-making business, let alone Liu Fuju.
A big businessman was unwilling, and even Deng Bingtang, who knew nothing about business, would object. Liu Chan didn't think as much as they thought. When he heard that Liu Meng and Shao Yan were in danger, he excitedly ran to the one-eyed dragon and said angrily:
"One-eyed dragon, if you dare to hurt your sister and second uncle, be careful I will cut you into pieces!"
The one-eyed dragon chuckled and said: "Second Young Master Liu, in fact, like you, I also want to ensure their safety, but your father wants to send them to the fire pit. What can I do? And that one
Shao Yan, I have given him a chance, even leaving him the position of second boss, but what about him? He has to go against me."
"I'm not against you, it's you who are against God." A deep voice sounded outside the door. As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yan walked in gracefully. Liu Fuju and Deng Bingtang were very surprised to see him return safely.
Happy, Liu Chan was so excited that he wanted to cry a little bit
Shao Yan tried his best to avoid Liu Chan's mesmerizing eyes, quietly walked up to the one-eyed dragon, and smiled: "You can forgive God's sins, but you can't live if you do your own sins. You have committed too many sins in your life, and you are destined to fail!"
The one-eyed dragon was not too surprised to see him standing in front of him intact. He had already experienced the cunningness of this boy half a month ago. This boy pretended to be Sister Mei and almost hid it from everyone in the village. This shows that
This kid is not ordinary smart. One-eyed dragon thought that he was a talent that could be created, so he roped him in to be the second boss of the village. Unexpectedly, he would fall into his hands so quickly. Thinking of this, One-eyed dragon sighed deeply,
He blamed himself: "Oh, it's all my wishful thinking that led to luring the wolf into the house. Now I have failed. I really don't have the face to see my elder brother."
The one-eyed dragon Chang Qing and the bearded Chang Feng were brothers, but because of Shao Yan's unprovoked intervention, the two brothers turned against each other. Chang Qing was captured at this moment, and he regretted it deeply. If he hadn't been eager for quick success and quick gain, he would never have ended up in the situation he is in today.
In the end, there are all kinds of medicines in the world, but there is no regret medicine. Seeing the one-eyed dragon kneeling on the ground helpless, Shao Yan suddenly felt sympathy deep in his heart. At this time, Liu Fuju walked down and threw a large stack of banknotes to the
In front of the one-eyed dragon, he angrily shouted: "Chang Qing, dare I ask where Liu offended you, and you actually want to frame me like this?"
The one-eyed dragon looked down at the banknotes and said nothing for a long time, but Shao Yan was confused. According to Liu Fuju's recollection, he had a store near the capital that specialized in selling tea. One morning, Asan, Liu Fuju's clerk,
When I opened the store, I found that all the more than 1,000 taels of silver in stock had been replaced with fake banknotes. This incident quickly alerted the local county magistrate. Fortunately, the magistrate was once a student of Deng Bingtang. Once the matter came to the court, the young man would be
Then he will be sentenced, all his family property will be confiscated and he will be sent to the army.
On the one hand, Deng Bingtang asked the county magistrate to keep his mouth shut, and on the other hand, he secretly investigated the matter. At that time, Cyclops had just left Luanshigang and often wandered around the capital. Deng Bingtang soon suspected him and sent people to follow him.
He exchanged the banknotes he had used for a while, and after careful comparison, he found that all the banknotes used by Cyclops had a scent of tea, so Cyclops was the biggest suspect.
After hearing this, Shao Yan realized that those banknotes on the ground were all fake banknotes. Liu Fuju had previously admitted in front of Sima Jun that he was a banknote dealer. At first, he thought that these banknotes were really made by Liu Fuju. When he thought about it the other way around,
How could a smart man like Liu Fuju do such a stupid thing? Isn't it clear that he is looking for fault? No wonder the case of the counterfeit banknotes has been dropped since he was released from prison that day. It turns out that Deng Bingtang knew about it a long time ago
The inside story was revealed. According to Liu Fuju, Liu Meng was also playful and secretly took a thousand taels of silver notes to the street, which caused quite a disturbance.
Now the truth has been revealed. The culprit is the ugly one-eyed dragon. However, Shao Yan never believes that he is the real culprit behind the scenes. Deng Bingtang and Liu Fuju also feel that this matter is definitely not as simple as they imagined. The real instigator is someone else.
There is someone else
During the entire interrogation process, One-Eyed Dragon placed all the charges on himself. It is obvious that this guy has an extraordinary relationship with the person behind the scenes, or that he has something in the other party's hands. However, these are just Shao Yan's personal conjectures.
, maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind this. Instead of continuing the interrogation like this endlessly, it is better for a few people to get together and study countermeasures.
Three days passed, and there was still no progress in the case. Deng Bingtang followed the method provided by Shao Yan and asked his soldiers to post notices everywhere, saying that the ticket seller had been arrested and brought to justice. If anyone had fake banknotes at home, they could also hand them over to the police.
Government exchange to reduce economic losses
The next day after the notice was issued, a butcher named Wang San suddenly took out one hundred taels of counterfeit silver notes, which was a large amount. Deng Bingtang felt very suspicious, and immediately summoned Wang San and summoned Wang San.
Shao Yan is specially invited to be a juror
Deng Bingtang slapped the wooden door in the hall and said: "Who is kneeling in the hall? Can you tell me your name quickly?"
Wang San was obese and looked very clumsy. He raised his head with difficulty, and after a long while he said: "Wang San, a common man, has seen Master Qingtian."
