Gongqing bone

Chapter 106 Farce
The thin and tall man handed over another cookbook, all of which are popular dishes this spring, such as thin cable jelly, peach ice bowl, fish raw, ice fish soup...

"Pa——", Yan Taoxue closed the menu: "Why are there so many dishes with ice in spring?"

The fat boss was a little embarrassed, and finally the tall and thin man spoke up for him: "My lord doesn't know, many people in Beijing are fond of Wushi powder..."

"..." Gan, is this still a closed loop?Yan Tao thought to himself.

Thinking of this, the yamen servants who went to arrest the owner of Lanzhi Hall also came late, but what they brought back was obviously not good news: they ran away.

Yan Taoxue was not idle either. While issuing a hunting order, he had a conversation with the tall and thin man:
"Presumably you also know that smuggling is a felony. Today, the officer will tell the whole story about you and the people kneeling in the hall, and then transfer you to the governor of Shuntian Mansion...

As for the owner of Tianxiang Tower, you must be aware that you must have committed the crime of 'connivance' and 'overseeing'..."

"Boom—boom—boom—" Before Yan Tao finished speaking, the sound of drumming came from outside.

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay. Today is obviously a special trial.Yan Taoxue sent people to see it, saying that he would persuade them to leave.

The yamen servant who left after a while directly led the man in: "My lord, this woman said that she is the wife of the accountant of Tianxiang Building, and that she wants to report the case..."

Yan Taoxue took the opportunity to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "Oh?——You know He Yinqing can tell you all..."

The woman was still holding a half-grown girl in her arms, and said without any regard for her appearance: "My lord! Don't listen to this ghost's nonsense! He sells firewood for money, but you know what's more For what?"

"Huh? Let's talk about it..." Yan Taoxue thought, this might be a breakthrough——

"He wants to raise a concubine! He has raised several young ones in the brothel, and now he wants to get more. He can do any kind of crazy thing! A person like him is purely for' Chasing wolves with bare buttocks—shameless and lifeless'!..."

Before he finished speaking, he started to tear up the accountant who had been silent at the side like a shrew; the girl in his arms also started to cry: "Daddy, daddy!——"

What is it all about!This is simply a vegetable market instead of a criminal court!
Yan Taoxue felt dizzy for a while, and waved his hands to get the mother and daughter out——

But just when he raised his eyes, Wang Wu, who happened to be kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his body and turned his head to the source of the harsh sound——

As soon as he raised his face and turned his head, Yan Taoxue happened to meet him face to face...

Dirty and damaged face, full of beard and beard, if you don't kneel down, people will know at a glance that you are not someone to mess with, and you usually have to avoid it when you walk.

But Yan Taoxue looked at him, feeling only uncomfortable in his heart——

In the two eye sockets, there are only black eye holes, and there are congealed blood stains in the eye sockets, like blood and tears flowing out.

No wonder they were all dragged up just now, and because they always kept their heads down, Yan Taoxue didn't notice anything wrong: he was completely blind!Not only that, but all the accomplices kneeling below are like this!
And Yan Taoxue carefully looked at his blinded eyes: Looking at the wound, it seems that he was not blinded at the same time... But, third prince Zhou Pan, is it necessary to do this?
He then looked around at the people around him: the third prince Zhou Pan was stunned, the tenth prince Zhou Yan smiled slightly, and the great grandson Zhou Xian was dignified...which was in line with their usual appearance.

After the noisy mother and daughter left, Yan Taoxue rubbed his swollen temples, and watched Wang Wu and the accountant's mutual recognition with cold eyes.

He slapped the gavel: "Wang Wu, where did you transport the fire nitrate to the capital?"

Wang Wu went on to say that he was just a second-hand dealer, and he didn't buy directly from the source, but just collected some bulk goods from various places, and then resold them to the capital for a high price.And frankly he can provide a supply list.

Checking one by one will only waste more time, and people who heard the news have already run away.Unexpectedly, what he said was not revealing, making it impossible for people to know the truth.

Yan Taoxue couldn't help being a little annoyed, and threw the confession that Wang Wu and the others had drawn directly on the ground, "Why is what you said today so different from your previous confession?"

The confession detailed that it was the material for making black powder, and they were ordered to deliver it in batches.

It’s just that Wang Wu and others were caught by this guy who was just an idiot, and he didn’t know much about it...

Wang Wu shook his body, because he didn't look pitiful because he was heavy, but even a little funny:
"My lord, can't you see the villain's appearance like this? It was obvious that he was tortured before!" Wang Wu shook the shackles in his hands, and raised his arms to show everyone the bloodstains on his clothes.

"Fart your mother!" Zhou Pan patted the coffee table beside him and stood up: "My people said they just whipped you up, and you spit it out when you were so scared!"

Wang Wu turned his head to Zhou Pan's direction: "Then what about the eyes of the little people! Could it still be a bitter trick made by myself?"

"If you don't protect yourself, what does it matter if you blind yourself? I'm the one who doesn't want you to be blind, okay?! You can see it, so I can let you identify the mastermind..."

When it came to the words "behind the scenes", Zhou Pan fixed his eyes on the two brothers Zhou Si and Zhou Yan, and almost said, "It's you who messed up!"

Zhou Pan went on to say: "Besides, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu, you might have been 'killed and silenced' long ago; you left this humble life today, and you can look forward to getting out someday!"

Zhou Yan's expression was indifferent: "Third brother, there is no such thing as a book, it's just you who complicate a simple smuggling case..."

"Hehe", Zhou Pan sneered: "If it's as simple as you said, then which son of a bitch dares to go to Henan in the name of Lao Tzu?"

Zhou Yan didn't pay attention to him any more, just smiled calmly, sipped his tea, and finally said: "Third brother, maybe there are people who just want to 'cry and catch the thief'?"

Zhou Pan clenched his fists, wanting to punch Zhou Yan's pretty face, but finally endured it and sat down.

It's not a big deal to be overturned by this old ten so cleverly now, but if the father thinks the same way...

Would father think that Zhou Pan directed and acted the "framing" himself?Instead of the "wolf ambition" of Zhou Yan's little wolf cub?
Many things are often only in the mind of the emperor...

So in such a strange and quiet atmosphere, Yan Taoxue temporarily completed his interrogation of the "black powder case", and the final result turned out to be just a case of smuggling.
