Chapter 199 Pay off the debt(1/3)
There is a hemp rope hanging on the crossbar, and a person is tied to the hemp rope. The whole book is 520.????
The man's feet were pointing up and his head was pointing down. His forehead was red, as if blood was about to spill out, so he had no choice but to hold his head high.
“After hanging around for so long, it’s time to tell the truth, okay?”
.
Li Tan and Zhang Si sat side by side, drinking wine and listening to the interrogation by their servants. Zhang Si was a little impatient and shouted: "Ask him where Xue Ling's bandit friends are hiding."
“I don’t know, I am the bartender of Fengweilou. Du Wulang asked me to take care of his father-in-law.”
How dare you lie to me?" Zhang Si scolded: "Xue Ling has already called me, saying, who ordered people to beat me?!"
Just at this time, the steward reported outside the door: "Alang, madam, there is someone asking to see you, and he calls himself Xue Bai."
"Ha." Li Tan couldn't help laughing and said to Zhang Si: "It's a coincidence that he was mentioned in the book and he arrived right after."
“Huh, stand up for me.”
"Do not worry."
Li Tan patted Zhang Si's hand, drank the wine in one gulp, and stood up gracefully.
He is a son of an aristocratic family and pays attention to the etiquette of hospitality. He does not embarrass Xue Bai and even invites people to sit down and watch tea in the hall.
Seeing Xue Bai coming in with a maid and a guard, Li Tan was the first to greet him and said with a smile: "There are few visitors, and the number one scholar is here, and the humble house has a bit more scholarly atmosphere."
Xue Bai responded: "That's my fault. If I could be more knowledgeable, perhaps this place would be full of scholars."
Li Tan knew in his heart that he was talking about his previous attempt to snatch bamboo paper crafts. His expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "It won't be too late. Please take a seat. Don't dislike the humble and humble house. It is said that poverty is a waste of money." Zhuo Jing had a generous personality and borrowed the
A lot of money has gone out and I have never been able to get it back. I heard that the number one scholar is good at business affairs. If you have connections, you might as well give me some advice as a brother. How about that?"
“That’s how it is, there is a bartender from Fengwei Restaurant who was brought into the house by Brother Li, but because you want to know how to open a restaurant?”
"Fengweilou? Is there such a thing? I don't know." Li Tan said in surprise, "However, the nursing home in my home did bring back a person, but he was not a bartender, but a gangster."
He didn't wait for Xue Bai to answer, and said directly, "Do you know the number one scholar? Zhuo Jing was blocked and robbed by someone a few days ago. They are a group of ruthless gangsters. You also know the messenger, Xue Ling, this person owes money and will not pay back."
, colluded with bandits. By the way, he hid in the bandit den in Qinling Mountains throughout last year."
No matter how you say it, Zhuo Jing is the daughter of Shangzhu Kingdom and a relative of the emperor. She instigated the thugs to beat the emperor's relatives in Chang'an City, which is no different from rebellion. However, this matter has nothing to do with Zhuang Yuan Lang. Since Zhuang Yuan Lang has recovered his life experience,
It's better not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise Fang Yi will get into big trouble, don't you think?"
After finishing his words, Li Tan looked at Xue Bai with a proud look on his face and looked at him with a sneer in his eyes. He had made it very clear that Xue Bai had some people under his command. He had detained Xue Ling in the past year and even sent someone to
Someone beat up his wife... He knew all these things, and this time he was just looking for fun.
If Xue Bai could understand the situation, admit his mistake, and apologize, the matter would be over with Xue Ling, and he would not continue to pursue it.
“But I have a relationship with the Xue family after all.” Xue Bai asked: “Brother Li, what do you think I should do to avoid getting into such big trouble?”
“I’ve always wanted to make friends with the Number One Scholar.” Li Tan smiled and said, “By the way, I heard that you recently set up a residence newspaper, which is quite interesting.”
“Brother Li is also interested in Di Bao?”
Li Tan tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, thinking about what to say. Although it was important to vent his anger on his wife, if Xue Bai was willing to pay other compensation, then forget about the conflict.
"You also know that although I have a fourth-grade official title, I have never bothered to take up a job." Li Tan paused slightly and said slowly: "If the Journaling Institute was separated from the Secretary Province and set up a government office, it would also be
There is an important minister sitting in charge, what do you think the champion is? "
Xue Bai smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "We won't talk about business today."
"Really?" Li Tan was deeply disappointed. He leaned back and said in a lazy tone: "There is a strange news in Chang'an City today. I wonder if the number one scholar has ever heard of it? Xue Xin, the son of Xue Ling, killed his father. Xue Ling
Even though he is dead, his gangster friends are still at large, and I will punish them sooner or later!"
At this time, Zhang Si also came out from behind the wall and arranged for the maids to serve tea to Xue Bai. She sat down beside the main seat, very satisfied with her husband's harsh words. Search xs520.

“Speaking of this, I was really scared to death that day. Some people should be punished for doing something wrong. Isn’t that right?”
Zhang Si smiled, as if waiting for Xue Bai to apologize to her.
Li Tanze said, half threatening and half coaxing: "There is a truth in the court, make more friends and make fewer enemies. By the way, I have several friends, such as King Qi, King Ning, and King Shen, who all want to have more contact with the number one scholar.
, how about I host a banquet to introduce you to you someday?"
"Yes." Xue Bai said, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished."
A couple in the hall then smiled. I remember a few days ago, someone reached out to the general prison and wanted to block it and control the bamboo and paper craftsmanship. Unfortunately, the court did not give these people any punishment. "
If Xue Bai hadn't said anything, the couple would have completely forgotten what the cause of the matter was. When who provoked the other party first, Li Tan's face immediately darkened.
Zhang Si stood up abruptly, raised his hand and scolded: "Don't confuse right and wrong. You asked people to beat me, and you dare to deny it?!"
The two men's hypocritical politeness was disturbed by her, and the conversation started simply. "I beat you just to remind you." Xue Bai replied calmly: "If you dare to reach out again next time, it won't be as simple as beating you."
"you!"
Zhang Sijie never expected that he would dare to be so arrogant. Only Wang Zhun in Chang'an City was as arrogant.
She was so shocked that she quickly looked at the servants around her and shouted: "Did you all hear it? He threatened me, he said he would kill me!"
“How outrageous!” Li Tan stood up and shouted, “Immediately apologize to my wife.”
Xue Bai is actually good at making excuses with others, but when dealing with such self-righteous and incompetent nobles, if they are not more straightforward, they will not be able to tell the good from the bad. Only by showing off some wolves can they be frightened.
Nama, bully the good and be afraid of the evil, bully the weak and be afraid of the hard.
He then looked at Jiaonu and said, "If she wants it, give her a slap in the face."
"Snapped!"
Jiaonu rushed out quickly and without waiting for anyone else to react, he slapped Zhang Si on his fair and plump cheek.
Her hands were heavy, and after the crisp sound, there was a patch of redness and swelling.
Zhang Si was so excited that he even forgot about the pain. Li Tan was also stunned and felt that the scene was as fake as a dream.
“Kill them for me!”
“Who dares to take action? Jinwu Wei Zhonglang will be here!”
The guard behind Xue Bai strode out and almost put a token in front of Li Tan.
"this.
"What you said is good. If you do something wrong, you should be punished." Xue Bai said in a calm tone and continued to make useless arguments, "If you were allowed to control bamboo paper, how would you be able to write books, open libraries, and publish books today? Retribution? Today I still want to reach out to my residence to retaliate. This slap is light. You can go cry, make trouble, and beg. I will be dismissed from my position and my head will be killed for this slap."
“Don’t be too conceited.” Li Tan protected his beloved wife and said word by word: “Don’t cry when the head is being decapitated.”
"Okay." Xue Bai said, "This is a matter between you and me, and this slap will end it.
“We’re not done yet.“
“Now that we are talking about the matter between you and Pingyang County Duke and the Xue family in Hedong, you can go to Xue Ling to ask for a debt. But you should not frame the crime on Xue Xuan after killing Xue Ling.”
“I’ll kill your mother!”
"Presumptuous!"
The token of the Jinwu Guard was handed over again and reached Li Tan. Li Tan was shocked. Only then did he realize that Xue Hui would never allow the Xue family to commit the sin of patricide... This is what Xue Hui
Bai's confidence in coming today has the support of someone behind him.
"you.
"You know what you did." Xue Bai said, "Don't think it's perfect. This is the female envoy of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. She happened to see the truth of the matter."
Li Tan's face changed, and he had a bad premonition. Zhang Si started crying and kept hitting him with his shoulder, asking him to stand up.
Although Jiaonu was just a maid, she looked more arrogant than most of the people in the hall. She said with a cold face: "The farm outside Chang'an City belongs to you, right? Your people killed Xue Ling...
"fart."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Last night, Xue Ling was only slightly injured and ran out of the house, asking your people to catch Xue Xin. In the end, Xue Xin was caught, but when they saw the gold objects, they became greedy for money.
He pressed Xue Ling's head into the bucket and drowned him alive.
“You fart, it’s just a one-sided statement!”
“It doesn’t matter if I kill Xue Ling, they still want to kill me and silence me, and put the blame on Xue Xin. The Youxiang Mansion will never allow the descendants of Pingyang County Duke to bear such slander!”
“You...what do you mean?” Li Tan was very annoyed, “You framed it on me?”
He can ignore the others, but he cannot offend Xue Hui. Even Li Linfu will not offend Xue Hui easily.
Then today Xue Bai brought the female envoy from the Right Prime Minister's Office. Could it be that the Right Prime Minister wants to calm down this case? This kind of case that has nothing to do with the interests of the Right Prime Minister, but will stir up trouble in the city, the Right Prime Minister should also want to calm down, right?
"Where are the people?" Xue Bai said: "Hand over the right and wrong of those scoundrels you raised, and you will know after asking."
Just a few idle men, they had already run away when they saw someone dead."
Zhang Si was still covering his face, lightly stepped on Li Tan, and asked him why he was still talking about the case with Xue Bai.
“Make more friends and fewer enemies.” Xue Bai said: “Brother Li, if you don’t want to be in trouble with General Xue, you’d better not protect him.
It is best to hand the person over as soon as possible.”
“It was not a cover-up, they really took Xue Ling’s belongings and ran away.”
