The man's face changed.
His nephew...
His nephew was killed and thrown into the moat! He was shocked when he heard it just now, 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 give that person up, the other party will really keep you safe?" Chang Suining said, "On the contrary, the more you keep the other party in the dark, the less scruples they will have when they start to keep their mouths shut."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on the man's back.
The other party had said that even if the matter was exposed today, as long as he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything, he would 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 minor punishment from the government, but the private revenge of the Chang family.
But now Chang Suining's words reminded him that the person he should really be afraid of might be his "employer".
Or in other words, both of them are the King of Hell!
The man wanted to slap himself a hundred times at this moment - he had no skills at all, and he was just living a good life, why did he have to dream of making a fortune by living on the edge of a knife! The man who had been crying and shouting since he appeared wanted to cry, but now he had no tears, only endless fear.
The girl whom he regarded as the King of Hell spoke again: "If you tell me everything truthfully, I will not pursue your fault today, and I can even save your life."
The man was stunned.
Why... was it switched?
But the temptation was indeed great. He looked at the girl doubtfully for a moment: "Are you really... going to keep your word?"
"Nonsense!" Chang Kuo said, his voice as loud as a bell: "My Chang family always keeps their word!"
Chang Suining: "This is your only chance to survive. Take it or not, it's your choice."
"I choose..." Under the gaze of everyone, the man no longer hesitated: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
A man who knows the current situation is a hero, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and taking a step back will open up a wider world and 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 instructed me to come here to cause trouble. The painting was given to me by that person, and what I said was also taught by that person!"
Besides being alarmed, many people became angry.
It turned out that he was deliberately slandering Madam Chang under someone's instructions! Perhaps because he was grateful for the painting, or because he was truly impressed by it, he had subconsciously regarded Madam Chang as his own - he had a strong sense of substitution, and he had already cut the man surnamed Zhou into pieces with his eyes.
Seeing Hu Huan and others joining the group of people who were being cut, Yihu was extremely anxious. How about he bring a basin of cold water to wake up the young man? Otherwise, when the young man wakes up tomorrow, he will regret for the rest of his life for missing out on such an event! "Tell me, who is it!" Chang Sui'an put the painting back on the desk and quickly walked to the man who kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
"This villain really doesn't know anything!" The man said, "The person who showed up looked like a servant, and she even covered her face with a veil! I just collected money and did the job, how dare I ask so many questions?"
After hearing this, Chang Suining couldn't help but sigh that this man and Zhou Ding were indeed uncle and nephew, and they only cared about money and not people.
Seeing her expression, the man panicked - could it be that she was going to regret it because he couldn't even fart properly?
He hurriedly said: "But I know they have arranged for other people to come!"
The maidservant beside Xie's eyes trembled slightly.
The man continued, "I have long admired the reputation of General Chang. I was inevitably terrified to do such a conscienceless thing. I was really unsure and didn't dare to agree at first... But the maid told me that as long as I followed her instructions and made a scene, someone else would take care of the rest, and it would be foolproof!"
He could feel the other party's supreme confidence in his plan even through the veil. When he heard that the arrangement was quite meticulous, he immediately felt safe.
Now it seems like shit! He can't even make a painting look real, and he's still trying to frame someone!
This frame-up didn't harm anyone else, but it did harm him! "So, you have another accomplice present tonight?" Chang Suining had no surprise on his face. He looked at everyone while asking, "Did you meet before you came?"
Since the other party was determined to ruin her reputation at this apprenticeship banquet, it was impossible for her to place her hopes solely on this man.
He could only make a fuss. If he wanted to truly stigmatize her, he would need someone else to secretly fan 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 buzz of discussion among the crowd.
The man looked bitter: "I don't know who he is, and I've never fought with him before..."
Now that I think about it, those people were very cunning and didn’t want to dirty their hands at all, for fear of being dragged out by him afterwards!
The maidservant beside Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
For a moment she thought that the lady had acted unethically by revealing her identity as a lady to this unreliable man.
Now it seems that this person doesn't know much.
Although she had just been humiliated by Chang Suining, Xie's expression gradually calmed down.
She had just thought of the worst possible outcome - in comparison, the current situation was at least controllable. As for the matter of being contradicted, after tonight, she had plenty of ways to make the other party remember it.
"But since you are accomplices, you must have a time plan to prevent any discrepancies!" Yao Yi came up and asked firmly, "How did you communicate with each other, and how did you know when to show up here?"
Seeing that the "stinky investigator" had shown up, Chang Suining felt relieved.
Xier simply moved a chair over and Chang Suining sat down to rest.
Seeing this, Yao Xia quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over, standing beside Chang Suining with an expression of sharing the same hatred for the enemy.
"We communicated with lanterns!" the man said, pointing out the window. "The maid told me to wait in the alley on the opposite back street. As long as I saw someone hang a lantern at the entrance of the alley, it would be the time!"
When the time came, he immediately ran to the outside of Dengtai Tower and started crying.
"I came here just because I saw the lantern, but the alley was dark and the man hung up the lantern in a hurry and left. I only heard the footsteps and didn't have a chance to see who was coming!"
Yao Yi frowned and asked, "Which alley? How long will it take to get there from here?"
"It's Fenggu Lane on the back street opposite..." The man thought for a moment and said, "It'll only take half a minute!"
Yao Yi immediately said, "Come here, ask the servant downstairs to come up and answer the question."
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could call for help, the two servants who had been squatting at the second-floor staircase and eavesdropping with the waiters in the building hurried over.
"Which people in the building had gone out about a quarter of an hour before this person appeared outside the building and caused trouble?"
The two servants thought about it and said that they remembered that three people had gone out.
One of them was a scholar. According to the servant boy, the scholar was dragged away by his wife who had come to find him, grabbing his ears and never coming back.
Another one was a maidservant of Duan, who also never came back.
Duan took the initiative to explain: "Since it was getting late, I told the maid to go back to the mansion and tell the Duke so that he could rest early."
Originally, she was planning to go back at that time, but when she saw Mrs. Jie, who was out of tune with the atmosphere, suddenly appear, she felt a little uneasy, so she asked the maid to go back home to tell her husband to go to bed first.
"I believe in Madam Duan." Chang Suining skipped the question and asked the servant, "Who is the other one?"
The two servants looked at the maidservant beside Mrs. Xie: "It is the maidservant beside Mrs. Xie..."
Seeing everyone looking at her, the maid who was mentioned said coldly: "I did go out, but because my wife was not used to the tea in this building, I went downstairs to get tea for my wife in the sedan chair."
Yao Yi looked at the two servants, only to see them both nodding.
When the maid returned, she did have a ball of tea in her hand.
The maid raised her chin slightly and said, "I was only away for a short while, so I didn't have time to go to Fenggu Lane to hang lanterns."
Some people subconsciously followed this sentence and thought... Should we check on the scholar who was dragged away by the ear?
But the girl sitting leisurely on the chair spoke: "You don't have to hang the lantern yourself, do you?"
The maid frowned and looked at her.
"Madam Jie came here in a sedan chair, and there are four sedan bearers alone, so there is no shortage of people who can go and hang the lanterns. You only need to tell them secretly when you get the tea." Seeing that the maid looked angry, Chang Suining said, "Of course, this is just my guess - whether it is true or not, we need to investigate."
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Cui Jing and said, "Would you mind if you could ask Commander Cui to come up and answer the questions?"
Mrs. Xie's eyebrows moved slightly.
What does this mean?
Does it mean that there are people from Xuan Ce Mansion guarding outside?
But when she came, she didn't see any Xuan Ce troops...
Cui Jing nodded, and his subordinates quickly left beside him.
Facing those fearful and puzzled looks, Cui Jing explained: "There are many people here today, so I have people patrolling around Dengtai Tower to prevent people from stealing and causing trouble. I don't want to disturb the festive atmosphere, so I just asked them to wear casual clothes."
After hearing this explanation, everyone felt relieved. Those who were of humble origin and full of emotion began to shed tears of gratitude - how could they have deserved the protection of Xuan Ce's army while they drank and enjoyed themselves!
If we tell everyone about our experience today, it will bring honor to our family!
And this experience is not over yet. It seems that as long as I haven’t stepped out of Dengtai Tower, I will never know what will happen next.
Soon, five or six Xuan Ce soldiers in casual uniforms went upstairs in an orderly manner.
Looking at the Xuan Ce soldiers who were wearing casual uniforms but were obviously well-trained, Xie suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
The Xuan Ce Army was responsible for maintaining stability in the capital, so there was nothing wrong with General Cui's actions.
But the Xuan Ce Army is not comparable to those ordinary drunkards in the government office. They have been secretly watching nearby. Will they...
No, it shouldn't be like that.
Even if they were keeping an eye on the vicinity, it was impossible for them to follow every person who came and went without any reason.
The fingers that Xie had clenched tightly in her sleeves then slowly loosened, and there was no sign of emotion on her face.
Until one of the Xuan Ce soldiers answered Yao Yi's question, saying that after her maid went upstairs to get tea, she saw one of her sedan bearers left with a lantern, and the sedan bearer returned about a quarter of an hour later.
"I saw it with my own eyes. When the sedan bearer turned back, the lamp in his hand disappeared." The Xuan Ce soldier said seriously.
When this voice fell, everyone's face changed.
