Chapter 274 Slap in the face
After hearing what he said, Song Anning was speechless and even wanted to laugh.
How ridiculous is that? He's smart, he knows how to divert the blame.
If you want to frame them, you should make up a better excuse. Who would believe it?
Liu Quan followed the direction of Yang Laosi's finger and glanced at Song An Ning.
Somehow, from the first moment he saw this girl, he felt a sense of disgust and even a hint of fear.
He hadn't wanted to answer at all, but for some reason he asked, "Oh? Being a spy for an enemy country is no small matter.
This city lord is giving you a chance. Tell me everything you've discovered, and I'll forgive you."
Hearing the city lord say this, everyone was stunned.
Song Anning: It’s not Lao Deng, you really believe it!
Shopkeeper Dong: Is this idiot crazy? No problem, let him be crazy for a while, I'll see what happens.
Yang Laosi: It’s possible. I’m going to make it more exaggerated to divert everyone’s attention.
The father and son of the Song family: Let’s not talk about the good business shop, what is this all about?
People around: Eat melons, eat melons, there are so many melons...
Yang Laosi, who was responded to, was very enthusiastic in making up stories.
"Think about it, sir, whose child carries tens of thousands of taels of silver?
Unless they are spies from an enemy country, they need to bribe the people to provide more information.
There is also this tea shop, which can be transformed into a teahouse with a slight modification. As everyone knows, a lot of information can be heard in that kind of place.
Not only this girl, but also the Chen family helped her a lot."
Liu Quan stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes, and nodded with some appreciation.
“Well, you have some truth in what you said.
It is indeed suspicious that such a little kid is carrying tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even the rich ladies in the capital city would not carry so much.
But I always speak the truth. Little girl, where are you from? Where did you get your money?
If I don’t make it clear today, I’m afraid I’ll end up in jail.”
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Dong wanted to step forward to explain, but Song An Ning blinked at him and retorted without any fear.
"My Lord City Lord, do you know Zhu Yuan, the county magistrate of Ping'an Town?
He was very popular among the people because when he made judgments, he would require people to produce evidence instead of just relying on words.
If you can convict someone just by what they say, then I dare not say that.
For example: The city lord is colluding with some underworld forces!
For example: The City Lord has eighteen illegitimate children..."
With every word Song An Ning said, Liu Quan's face turned paler. Everyone else thought that the child was joking, but only he knew that these were all true!
"How dare you make up stories about this city lord!
His identity is unknown, he speaks nonsense and misleads the public!
Someone, come and capture this little girl!
And the Chen family, we asked you to pay back taxes, but half a month has passed and you haven't paid a single penny, and you are still colluding with people like that!
Take it with me!"
Liu Quan knew that what he did was excessive, and the people around him would gossip about him.
But his intuition told him that this little girl was dangerous. If he let it go today, he would be the one in danger in the future.
So, he decided to follow his heart and nip any possibility in the bud.
After the city lord gave the order, the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded the place.
At this time, Yang Laosi did not forget to be arrogant, and said in a low voice in front of Song Anning and the Chen family:
"Hahaha, where's that arrogance of you taking the gold bars and silver notes just now?
And there's that old man from the Chen family who sold the shop to me for a small amount of money.
Now look what happened, my life is almost gone!
But you deserve it, it would be better if you were all treated as spies and torn into pieces."
At this time, the Chen family father and son still comforted Song An Ning: "Girl, don't be afraid.
We are the people of Nanyue. We have household registration, travel permits, and families. Those who are innocent will be cleared.
I feel ashamed to say that selling my shop has caused trouble for my daughter."
"It's okay, Uncle Chen. Just wait and see."
After Song An Ning whispered this to Old Man Chen, she winked at Shopkeeper Dong, who understood and smiled.
I can’t believe that he is almost fifty years old and still has to perform a few plays with a little girl.
But so what? He really liked Song Anning's clever side, so he just acted it out. It was quite fun.
Thinking of this, he led himself in. Just as the officers and soldiers took out handcuffs and were about to put them on several people, Manager Dong rubbed his eyes hard and cried out in surprise.
"Hey! Little Ancestor! Weren't you in Tongchuan Prefecture playing with silver blocks to build a wall? Why did you come to Linhai Town?"
"..."
When Song An Ning heard about building a wall with silver blocks, she almost laughed out loud. Uncle Dong, what you said is too scary!
She could only lower her head and tremble her shoulders slightly. Those who didn't know the situation thought the child was young. After being caught, she cried out of shame.
"Come out if you want, bring a few more secret guards to protect you!
If anything happens, the master will tear those people into pieces!"
After Shopkeeper Dong finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Song An Ning, then turned to Liu Quan and said:
"City Lord Liu, this is all a misunderstanding.
This guy is half the master of our Zuixianju. He ran out mischievously. The city lord should not be mean to the child.
I will take her back to Zuixianju now."
Liu Quan was confused by what he heard, but how could he, as smart as he was, not know what the old fox Manager Dong was planning?
You really want to see him embarrassed, don't you? Do you have to slap him in the face in public? Why didn't you acknowledge him in the beginning? Are you making a fool of him?
They really succeeded! You know, Liu Quan was afraid of both Misty Rain Pavilion and Su Chen.
He knew very well that if he hurt the girl today, Su Chen would twist his head off for fun.
Haha, he thought he was very good at pretending, but he didn't expect that this old man and this child were even better at pretending than him. He was tired of being the city lord.
The wealth he amassed was given to Yanyu Pavilion. In political affairs, Su Chen had the support of his superiors, so who would dare to contradict him?
Not only that, he had to greet Ali on the island with a smile, and he had to look at his wife's mood and work like a slave for Prince Ling and his wife.
Now, in front of so many people, because of a little girl, his face was pressed to the ground and rubbed wildly...
Otherwise, it will be destroyed...
Thinking of this, Liu Quan looked at everyone with a constipated expression, said with a fake smile that it was indeed a misunderstanding, and walked away.
It was a slap in the face. His old face was slapped loudly by Song An Ning and Manager Dong. The hypocritical words he had just said were now slapped back in his face.
Yang Laosi, who stayed where he was, felt that he was the biggest joke in the world. Not only did he fail to buy the shop, but in just half an hour, he seemed to have offended all the big shots in Linhai Town.
And Song Anning, this living father! He should have said earlier that he was backed by Zuixianju! Now, not only is his face hurting, but his heart is also hurting. It seems that his life is about to end...
Just as he finished thinking this, he saw Liu Quan coming back and ordering his men to arrest Yang Laosi and take him to jail.
He couldn't afford to offend the people from Zuixianju, so Yang Laosi had to bear his anger alone.
The ending was too quick and unexpected. The Chen family father and son were still in shock and had not yet reacted. They stood there at a loss.
However, Song An Ning placed the banknote in Mr. Chen's hand and asked happily, "Uncle Chen, are we still transferring the ownership?"
"What? Transfer of ownership?
Yes, of course I will.”
Accompanied by Manager Dong, Song Anning was followed by Yu Xiaochuan and his sister, as well as the Chen father and son. They all went to the yamen together. Everyone was quite satisfied with the result, except for the two big idiots whose faces were already swollen.
At this moment, Xiangxiang suddenly reminded Song Anning: "Master, the space necklace vibrated just now. It seems that Old Man Pan is in danger, or it could be..."
"What is it? Xiangxiang, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now..."
