Chapter 128 Wen Lao 5
The amount of alcohol that Tang Xin drank was enough to make him black out. Even if he didn't black out after waking up, Wen Yan believed that he had leaked such a big thing and didn't dare to tell anyone what happened tonight.
The next day, Wen Yan left Penglai Academy and disguised herself. She had kept her Taoist clothes in the space to facilitate her movements.
Pengcheng is the world of the Liao family, so Wen Yan has to be extremely careful.
After finding a secluded place to change her clothes, the butler came out with her. Wen Yan planned to take this opportunity to let the butler out for some fresh air and observe what he called kung fu.
The tall man was wearing a black suit that she bought for him. It fit his body very well and made him look even stronger.
But since he followed her out, it would be a bit inappropriate to call him butler, so Wen Yan planned to give him a name and let him be the fifth son of the Wen family.
The first four all have the surname Wan, so this one follows her surname.
Wen Yan told the housekeeper, and then received a quick and firm reply from the housekeeper: "Got it, Master."
"Change this title too. Just call me Taoist Priest. If I'm not wearing Taoist clothes, just call me Madam Wen. Got it?"
"I understand, Taoist Priest."
After the upgrade, the butler's brain seemed to be much smarter, and he was able to execute some of Wen Yan's more complicated instructions.
Wen Yan was very satisfied with this, as it meant that she could give the housekeeper more instructions in the future.
The two of them came to the vicinity of Penglai Academy, where the case leader Liu was active.
Perhaps the people at Penglai Academy thought that even if the old beggar was alive, he wouldn't cause any harm, so they left him here to fend for himself.
After all, no one would believe the words of such an insane old beggar.
Finally, at the end of the alley, Liu was seen fighting with a dog for food.
Wen Yan hurried over. There was nothing in the dog's bowl. The dog was barking wildly and it looked like it would bite her in the next second.
"Captain Liu, stop snatching it. I'll take you to eat something else! I, I'll take you to eat meat buns!"
"Meat buns?"
Liu Anshou raised his head and asked Wen Yan with his remaining rationality: "Do you really want to treat me to meat buns?"
Wen Yan nodded, "But you have to leave here first, otherwise the dog will get angry with you!"
With the temptation of the meat buns, Liu finally let go and looked at Wen Yan with a smile: "Meat buns, meat buns."
Wen Yan sighed and took him to the nearby street to buy some buns.
But the beggar was too dirty and the people were unwilling to let him sit in the store, so they held their buns and sat down on the stone steps at the end of the street.
Case Chief Liu was indeed very hungry. He bought four or five buns and ate them all by himself without even drinking a sip of water.
He wanted to reach out and take it, but was stopped by Wen Yan: "Wait, the rest can't be given to you for free. Now I'll ask you a few questions, if you answer them well, these will all be yours!"
Wen Yan had already prepared the spiritual spring water and handed it to Liu Anshou, hoping that it could help him regain some consciousness.
Liu, the chief of the case, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, and touched his round belly. "Ask me, ask me, and I'll tell you!"
"Okay." Wen Yan covered the bun, so that he wouldn't be so focused on eating that he couldn't say anything useful. "What did you mean by stopping me and telling me that I couldn't enter Penglai Academy?"
When Penglai Academy was mentioned, Liu Anshou's expression became obviously panic and fearful, and he began to say frantically: "There is a monster! There is a monster!"
"What is a monster?"
"Monsters... Monsters are monsters, very scary..."
"What does it look like? Where is it?"
Case Chief Liu usually dared to speak out anything, but now he was speechless, as if he was very afraid of this so-called monster: "The monster has so many teeth and eyes... It's as big as a room! It also forces me and beats me..."
Wen Yan said patiently: "Then tell me, why did he force you?"
"They gave me a piece of paper and asked me to write on it, but I couldn't write. The monster came to bite me, and it hurt so much. It was dark and I couldn't see the sun because the monster was underground and couldn't see the sun either..."
As if he was extremely frightened, Liu Anshou snatched the bun from Wen Yan's hand before he finished speaking and ran away quickly.
Wen Yan did not stop him, with a gloomy look between her brows. This man who could have risen to prominence in the case was now reduced to a beggar.
According to what Wen Yan had found out recently, this case leader Liu has no one else in his family. His parents are dead, and his wife remarried because he failed the exams for many years. He is the only one at home.
If Wen Yan and others had not come here, even if he died here that day, no one would help him to seek justice.
Sighing, Wen Yan said, "Let's go back."
Although Chief Case Liu's words were reversed, there were still a few useful key words, such as underground and never see the sun.
As for monsters, teeth, and eyes, Wen Yan hasn't thought about these yet.
Wen Yan changed her clothes and went back, carrying a basket of vegetables in her hand, and still went out the back door.
When the gatekeeper Xia Yu saw her, he seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and hurried over to greet her: "Madam Wen, so diligent? Why don't you just eat in our restaurant here? Why do you have to go so far to cook it yourself?"
Wen Yan showed her usual gentle smile: "I have a picky taste, I like to eat what I cook myself."
Wen Yan didn't want to talk much to Xia Yu. She didn't like anything about this person. He exuded an unpleasant aura from the inside out.
But Xia Yu didn't intend to let her go. He walked up to Wen Yan with a sinister smile on his face: "Madam Wen, I heard that you invited Tang Xin to Tianxiang Tower?"
Xia Yu stared at him closely, like a bird of prey aiming at its prey: "That place is not cheap, what are you doing there with a book boy like him?"
"He usually comes to pick us up Dong Ling, so it's okay for me to treat him to a meal, right?" Wen Yan looked at him directly, "Or, Old Xia, do you want to eat with us? I was negligent, I neglected your feelings."
The two refused to give in to each other. Xia Yu looked at each other for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face: "I am abrupt. But I still want to tell Madam Wen something."
"Oh?"
"Recently, there is a flower-stealing thief in Pengcheng who particularly likes delicate wives like you. Madam Wen, remember to be careful and don't get kidnapped by that thief. That would be bad."
"That is indeed something I need to be careful about, but I am in Penglai Academy, and I believe that Penglai Academy will protect me, right?"
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Of course, but there are bound to be accidents, and the academy can't guarantee anything. Don't go out carelessly in the future, otherwise my academy can't help you."
Flower picker?
After Wen Yan returned, she always felt that Xia Yu had something else to say. Why did he have to tell her all this?
Did Penglai Academy notice her actions?
Wen Yan sighed. This Penglai Academy was really... a troubled place.
