Chapter 176 The Second House is a Jinx
The carriage galloped, and in less than an hour, it arrived at the county town.
Ji Yunzhan drove the carriage to the post house in the county town to deposit the carriage, and then led Cen Yan straight to the dilapidated and messy courtyard where Yu Banxian was.
"I threatened him today, saying that I had someone nearby to watch him. If he dared to try to escape, I would cut off his tongue. I think he has seen my previous methods and should be afraid."
Along the way, Ji Yunzhan told Cen Yan how he had dealt with Yu Banxian before.
Cen Yan also found it very interesting after listening to it.
Yu Banxian was a swindler everywhere, and he used the money he got to buy alcohol or spend it in the casino.
This kind of person will become afraid if you cut off his means of making money a few times and then give him a taste of his own medicine.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the compound and knocked on Yu Banxian's door, he obediently opened the door and welcomed them in.
"Is this the friend you mentioned today, warrior?" Yu Banxian looked at Cen Yan, who was dressed as a young woman. Seeing an ugly scar on her face, he did not doubt that she was actually a young lady. He just thought that she was worthy of being the friend of a rough man like Ji Yunzhan. She was not someone who could be easily messed with!
Cen Yan didn't know that despite her small stature, she could scare people with the scar on her face.
"She needs your help." Ji Yunzhan said this, but his dark eyes narrowed threateningly, "You know how to cooperate, right?"
"Well, of course I know, don't worry, brave man!" Yu Banxian had already seen how powerful he was, so he didn't dare to act rashly at this time.
"Xiaoyan, if you have anything you want to ask or say, just tell him. If he doesn't behave honestly and plays tricks on you, I will take care of him." Ji Yunzhan said to Yu Banxian.
"Okay, I get it. With Brother Ji here, I don't think he would dare to play any tricks." Cen Yan smiled at him.
Ji Yunzhan also pursed his lips slightly.
Being praised like this makes me feel really good.
He found a place in a corner of the room, sat down and stopped talking.
Cen Yan also casually found a chair and sat down.
She looked Yu Banxian up and down.
Before this, she had always thought that Yu Banxian was over fifty years old, an old man with a white beard, and should have some immortal-like aura.
But when she met him today, she discovered that this "half-immortal" was only about forty years old, with a shifty look, and not a single bit of immortality.
"I have a few questions to ask you first." Cen Yan looked him over until he felt uncomfortable all over, and then he finally saw it.
"Please speak, young man." Yu Banxian also found it very strange. The other party was obviously very young, but his eyes were as sharp as knives, giving people a feeling of oppression.
"What is your relationship with the Gao family?" Cen Yan asked first.
"Well, I, I am her distant cousin, but that relative is really too far away..." Yu Banxian said.
"Really? Then what does it mean that she came to you several times and asked you for help? Or in other words, how did she ask you to fabricate faults against the second branch of the Cen family?" Cen Yan asked again.
"This... this..." Yu Banxian didn't want to answer, "Young man, each industry has its own rules. Although I am a swindler, I still have to follow some rules, right? I can't just casually reveal other customers' requests to others. If I do that, who would be willing to come to me for fortune-telling?"
"If you tell it today, you can still do this business in the future, but if you don't, I guarantee that your reputation as a half-immortal will be ruined in the future." Upon hearing this, Cen Yan smiled slightly and spoke the threatening words lightly.
When Yu Banxian heard this, he immediately swallowed his saliva.
He quietly shifted his gaze and looked towards the corner.
Ji Yunzhan was sitting there, his eyes met his, and he curled the corners of his mouth at him with ill intent and sneered.
This made him shiver suddenly.
Wasn’t this the way this guy smiled when he tried to beat him up before?
Yu Banxian suddenly felt the wounds all over his body and was in pain.
"Well, I trust you, brother, so I told you these secrets. Brother, you won't tell anyone, right?" Yu Banxian covered the bruise at the corner of his eye and said submissively.
"Of course. I'm not the kind of woman who likes to gossip. I just need to know this so that I can know how to ask you to cooperate with me in the future. After all, only in this way can I keep my job as a half-immortal. Otherwise, my friend will not let you off. I believe that half-immortal himself is very clear about this." There was always a faint smile on Cen Yan's face, and she spoke slowly and confidently.
The more stable she was, the more Yu Banxian felt that she was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
If it were someone else, at such a young age, who could be so calm?
"Well, let me tell you!" Yu Banxian scratched his head, still a little hesitant, "Can I ask, what is the relationship between the second branch of the old Cen family and my brother?"
"Distant relative. The second wife's wife and I are also distant relatives." Cen Yan looked at him and answered.
When you hear this, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not.
After all, what Yu Banxian said about him being Gao's cousin was all nonsense.
"Then I'll tell you!" Yu Banxian knew that he couldn't get any truth or falsehood out of the answer, so he made up his mind.
"Go ahead." Cen Yan looked at him calmly, without any excitement or anticipation for what he was about to say.
Yu Banxian thought to himself that this was not a easy thing to fool.
There is another person next to him, staring at him hungrily, ready to cause trouble for him at any time!
If you dare to tell lies, you will probably suffer the consequences!
He calmed himself down, clenched his fists, and decided not to say a single word of nonsense.
"As for Gao, she wanted to gain a foothold in the old Cen family, so she asked me to tell her fortune. The result, naturally, said that her son was destined to become the top scholar, and that the first wife was the real support for the old Cen family in the future. As for the second wife, she was a jinx, annoying people wherever she went. Whenever there was anything wrong in the family, it must be the fault of the second wife." Yu Banxian swallowed and said in one breath.
"Where is the third room?" Cen Yan's expression was calm, and there was no sign of anything unusual. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask.
"The third wife? Gao said that the third wife has no son and is not a threat. She just said that the third wife will never be as good as the first wife."
After Yu Banxian finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Cen Yan would not believe him and that he would be beaten, so he hurriedly added, "Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling the truth! Since you are a distant relative of the second wife, you must know how much the Gao family is valued in the old Cen family, and how much the two old guys in the old Cen family favor the Gao family!"
Of course what he said was true.
But that's all in the past.
Gao is not so favored now.
