Moreover, what the messenger said was that under the joint order of Gao Qian and the Seventh Prince, the money for ransom was also to be obtained from the Seventh Prince.
Judging from this meaning, it doesn't seem like Gao Qian made the decision privately.
He was greedy for beauty, and under the banner of the Seventh Prince, he even asked others to provide him with money.
Gao Qian, a small minister in the Ministry of Etiquette, had the guts to do this.
Could it be that...these two people were deliberately deceiving themselves? Or were they deliberately playing tricks on themselves?
It shouldn't be... Xu Yan asked himself that he didn't have any problems with the two of them, so he went through all the trouble to tease himself, what's the point?
Xu Yan thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason.
Then he folded the official document in his hand and said, "I'll ask Mr. Gao!"
After saying that, he took the official document and turned around to leave. Everyone in Chunxiang Tower was not happy.
Looking at the posture, the old bustard thought that the Seventh Prince and others wanted to default on the debt and deliberately sent Xu Yan to cause trouble and defraud the official document away.
Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xu Yan: "Hey, Mr. Xu... you must leave this official document for us."
"Tomorrow morning, I will use this official document to go to the seventh prince's house to ask for Liu'er's ransom money. What will happen if you take it away!"
"If you have any doubts, just ask the Ministry of Rites and the Prince."
"We are law-abiding people and we do things reasonably and compliantly. You can't bully me!"
What the madam said makes perfect sense.
They did follow the rules and regulations and released the person after seeing the official document.
But at this time, Xu Yan couldn't care less about this. He immediately threw away everyone and headed downstairs.
Seeing this, the madam was not willing to give up. She had never seen anyone in the streets for so long.
Without a very strong backer, it would be impossible to open such a large brothel and restaurant, and still accept official prostitutes.
Seeing Xu Yan being so arrogant, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Master Xu, you can't be like this...!"
"What you do is bullying us and other common people! You can't leave...!"
"If you insist on doing this, then I will have no choice but to take you to the Ministry of Etiquette to discuss it with Mr. Gao!"
All the prostitutes and servants around him also stepped forward to stop him, and they were instantly torn together.
At this time, Nan Yanxi disguised herself and hid among the crowd watching, watching all this with interest.
People were fighting together, and the scene was chaotic.
After all, Xu Yan is a young man with a strong and strong body, which is not comparable to that of those thin boys.
Those prostitutes are even less powerful than him.
There was a lot of chattering, and in the chaos, Xu Yan was instantly angry. He pulled hard with his hand and yelled: "Get away!"
"If you dare to stop me, I don't want to live anymore!"
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Because of the tug and tear just now, Xu Yan wanted to leave and everyone wanted to stop him. Unknowingly, the crowd had reached the stairs.
The old bustard was pulling his arm hard.
Xu Yan pulled with such force that the elderly bustard instantly lost his balance.
He staggered toward the stairs and fell over.
Nan Yanxi, who was hiding in the dark, felt happy when she saw this. She held the wine cup in her hand and pressed it against the old bustard's place.
Under the urging of its internal force, the wine cup turned directly into a black shadow and headed towards the feet of the old bustard.
Everyone present was paying attention to the farce, and no one noticed it.
The old madam staggered back two steps and subconsciously reached out to grab the railing on the side.
As long as he catches it, he will be safe, and it is so close that even the madam himself feels that there is no problem.
But at this moment, just when he was about to catch it, the madam suddenly stepped on a wine cup.
His foot suddenly slipped and he lost his balance.
"oops...!"
The old madam screamed, and first the back of her head hit the corner of the railing.
Immediately, his body went limp and he rolled down the stairs.
The place where everyone was tearing up the bar was on the third floor. The madam fell directly from the third floor to the first floor.
With the inertia, it hit the pillar on the first floor hard.
I'm already old, so I can't bear such a crash.
I'm afraid this person has already died before he reaches the bottom.
By the time the dead body rolled to the first floor and hit a pillar and stopped, there was no sign of life.
His eyes were round and his mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to shout for help.
Blood kept pouring out of his head and mouth, and his body was twitching involuntarily.
"Ah...ah...killing...killing...!"
In an instant, the entire Chunxiang Tower exploded into chaos.
Whether they were guests, prostitutes, or servants, seeing this, they were instantly frightened out of their wits and ran outside one after another.
There were also prostitutes and servants who had a deep relationship with the boss, and they rushed down to check on the madam's injuries.
Such an incident happened in a flash of lightning.
Xu Yan, the instigator, was stunned on the spot and was at a loss for words.
He was originally a scholar. He was good at studying firearms, but he had never done anything like murder.
Not to mention killing people, he has never even killed a chicken.
As soon as such a big thing happened, Xu Yan was stunned on the spot and completely confused!
He muttered: "I...I...I..."
At this moment, someone from behind suddenly tapped him on the shoulder: "Follow me quickly! The official is coming!"
After saying that, he tugged on Xu Yan's sleeve and ran back.
At this time, Xu Yan was completely stunned, and he still had no ability to think independently.
Someone gave him an idea in his ear. Xu Yan turned around and ran after the person without thinking.
I saw the man leading him to turn left and right, directly to the window on the third floor of Chunxiang Building.
Then one hand took Xu Yan's arm and put it around his neck, and the other grabbed his waist.
Shout: "Close your eyes! Jump!"
Xu Yan himself did not know martial arts, so he subconsciously closed his eyes.
I could only hear the roar of the wind in my ears, and my feet flew into the air several times and landed several times.
After a while, I remembered the man's voice: "Okay, open your eyes!"
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he opened his eyes and looked around at the darkness. He must be in a dark alley.
The person in front of him was staring at him with interest.
Xu Yan was in shock, but he still raised his hands to the man: "Thank you so much, brother, for saving me!"
This person is none other than Nan Yanxi.
After he ended his relationship with Lin Yu'er, he went to the Ordnance Station non-stop and sat at the door for the whole afternoon.
It wasn't until Xu Yan came out that he followed him.
When the madam fell down, the wine cup he stepped on was exactly what he did.
So strictly speaking, the instigator behind Xu Yan's murder was actually Nan Yanxi.
Seeing the guy in front of her thanking her so much, Nan Yanxi only felt a little funny.
He tried his best to hold back his smile and saluted Xu Yan: "Brother Xu, there is no need to be polite. If you want to thank me, just thank Miss Liu'er!"
"What!" Xu Yan suddenly became energetic after hearing this!
