C1487 Disrupting All Pretenses of Cordiality
After the people say so.
All the burden was placed on Ye Fan.
He did not speak for a long time.
After that, Ye Fan transmitted his voice to An Tairan, "The sword isn't yours, right?"
This was the effect An Tairan wanted. He wanted to force Ye Fan into a corner.
He thought that Ye Fan was ready to give in, and said proudly, "Haha, congratulations! You guessed it right! But there is no reward."
"What do you want?"
"As long as you give me the sword, we will be allies from now on. How about that? Moreover, I can give you a lot of money continuously. In the future, Chi Feng City will be our world. "
"What if I refuse?"
" Hehe, reject? Then don't blame us for being impolite."
"Then please begin your performance."
He ended his voice transmission.
Ye Fan's eyes were filled with a fierce light.
"Someone, capture An Tairan and hit him thirty times."
"What?"
An Tairan was stunned on the spot.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Based on what you have done to the City Lord, you have committed a heinous crime."
"Bullsh * t! What evidence do you have to prove that I've lied to you?"
Everyone was confused as well.
Why did he suddenly want to hit Young Master An?
Even if the City Lord wanted to take care of the people, he couldn't just accuse them indiscriminately.
This wasn't a clear view, but a deliberate attempt to rope them in.
Instantly, the crowd broke into a commotion.
"Why did you hit Young Master An? City Lord, please let us understand a little."
"That's right."
An Tairan's gaze turned cold. "City Lord, if you don't give me an explanation today, even if you are the City Lord, I will have to disobey your orders! Moreover, I will report you to the capital city. "
He finally understood.
Ye Fan was just a rock. He would not be able to join them unless it was soft and chewy.
They were destined to be enemies.
"Alright, then I will give you an explanation!"
Ye Fan asked indifferently, "An Tairan, you said this sword is yours. I wonder where you usually keep it?"
"Hmph, of course it's in the brocade box. It's located in the An clan's treasury."
Ye Fan nodded. "Is your treasury away from the restroom?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Treasure House contains all kinds of precious items. How can it be close to the restroom?"
"Alright, I understand!"
Ye Fan's gaze shifted. "Big Rabbit, where do you usually hide your treasured sword?"
"It's in my tofu workshop. The taste there is heavy, and most thieves don't like to go there."
As he spoke, Big Rabbit scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, Soldier, can you let everyone smell the sword?"
"Yes!"
He took the sword to the nose of the commoners, and a thick stench entered his nose.
Everyone covered their noses in disgust.
"That's right, that's the smell."
"That's right, the taste of the sword is exactly the same as his family's stinky tofu."
"F * ck, I'm a little hungry after smelling it."
...
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes. "This sword is as smooth as jade. It doesn't have a trace of dust, but it has a thick smell of stinky tofu. This must have been the result of many years of nurturing before it seeped into the sword."
"An Tairan, is your family always making stinky tofu in the Treasure Pavilion? If that's the case, I'll send someone to investigate. What do you think?"
"This..."
He was instantly rendered speechless.
After a while, An Tairan knew that he had lost the upper hand. He simply acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"So what if it's the size of a rabbit? I can only say that this is a misunderstanding, because I have a sword that is about the same as his."
"Bullshit!"
Ye Fan said with a fierce tone, "Misunderstanding? Is the Prefecture your backyard? You can come and go as you please? "
" Now, I declare that this sword belongs to Rabbit Big. An Tairan purposely stole, framed, beat up civilians, and deceived the city lord. He committed a heinous crime. "
"The penalty is forty plates, and the fine is five hundred spirit stones as punishment. One hundred of them will be charged with Rabbit Monarch's medical expenses, and the remaining four hundred will be Duke Chong."
Forty grand?
Obediently.
Does he want to kill me?
A trace of fear flashed through An Tairan's eyes.
He hurriedly looked at Advisor An.
The latter was similarly shocked.
He knew very well that An Tairan's physical fitness could not withstand forty boards.
"City Lord, you can't! This punishment is too severe."
"Hehe, it's not that serious. Does he have a memory?"
"City Lord, for my sake, can you reduce it a bit?"
"You?"
Ye Fan gave him a disdainful glance. "You are just a lackey of the An family. What face do you have?"
Hearing this,
advisor An's expression finally turned cold.
He said fiercely, "Do you really want to completely become enemies with us?"
"Who do you think you are? I am the biggest in Chi Feng City, and no one can make me care!"
His domineering aura was exposed.
All the civilians were shocked by Ye Fan's bold words.
"City Lord, you are indeed extraordinary."
"Not only are you able to see clearly, you are also able to solve the case fairly, and you are not afraid of the tyrants. You even dare to hit the young master of the An family. We admire you!"
"Haha, this is a joyous occasion. In the future, with the City Lord, will we still be afraid of being bullied? "
...
"Alright, alright, alright!"
Advisor An said three good words in a row. The anger in his heart had already accumulated to its peak.
"Since that's the case, then City Lord, please allow me to resign. This Advisor has no right to speak, so it's fine if I don't do it."
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at Ye Fan with deep affection.
Advisor An was slightly pleased with himself.
Humph, are you panicking?
For so many years, everything in Chi Feng City, big and small, was managed by him.
From building bridges and road repairs to buying and selling vegetables.
If it wasn't for him, Chi Feng City would have been paralyzed.
But he clearly misunderstood the meaning in Ye Fan's eyes.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
He clapped three times in a row.
"I wish I could! Advisor An, no, An Lan, you finally left! In the future, the City Lord's Mansion will be bright and clear. "
"Haha, not only did you solve the case today, you even chased away a dog. It's a joyous occasion! Tian Yu, I'll treat you to a barbecue tonight."
"Yay! That's great! I want to eat roasted chicken wings."
"No problem."
An Lan nearly ground his teeth into pieces.
"Alright, then I am no longer a member of the City Lord's Estate. Naturally, I have the right to overturn An Tairan's case."
After that, he arrived in front of Rabbit.
"This treasured sword of yours is of good quality, but it can only be sold for three thousand spirit stones at most. I'll give you thirty thousand spirit stones, and sell it to me. How about it?"
Buy it on the spot?
Wealthy and willful?
If the treasured sword eventually became An Tairan's.
Then all of Ye Fan's previous punishments would be invalid.
Rabbit Big agreeing to sell the treasure sword was naturally the same as agreeing to stand on An Tairan's side. Wasn't it easy to overthrow his own testimony?
The scene instantly became silent.
It was equivalent to ten times the market price.
He now had thirty thousand spirit stones.
Rabbit Big could immediately escape poverty and become rich.
Buying a house and a few dozen acres of fertile farmland would be no problem for him to live a carefree life for the rest of his life.
However, no one knew how he would choose.
Rabbit had always been hesitant.
He clenched his fists tightly, his brows tightly knitted. It was obvious that he was struggling internally.
Ye Fan did not say anything.
How to choose was Bunny Big's private matter.
He wouldn't interfere.
If the result was really not satisfactory.
That could only prove that most people were greedy.
Finally.
Rabbit thought about it and relaxed his body. His expression also showed that he was relieved.
"Hehe, it's still the same thing. Although I'm poor, I've never done anything like stealing a dog in my entire life!"
"City Lord has done his best to seek justice for me. How can I betray him? What's the difference between that and a beast? "
"I won't sell this sword!"
There was no applause.
No cheers.
His decision exceeded everyone's expectations.
Ye Fan smiled and shouted, "Bin You, what are you waiting for? Execute him now!"
"Yes!"
"Ah..."
A painful voice rang out.
Young Master An was pressed to the ground, and a large slab fell heavily onto the ground. In just a few moments, his skin and flesh were lacerated, and blood seeped out.
An Lan felt his heart ache when he saw this.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
Ye Fan was the City Lord. If he were to openly oppose him at this moment...
Then he wouldn't offend Ye Fan alone, but the entire Demon Realm.
At that time, he would die for sure.
"Young Master An, I have two healing pill here. Quickly eat them! They can guarantee your life."
An Tai swallowed the pill in a daze. After striking the big board, he was even emptied of his money pouch by his comrades. It could be said that his outcome was miserable.
After today's case.
Ye Fan's reputation spread even more. His story spread throughout the entire Chi Feng City, whether it was the teahouses, restaurants, or the streets. His reputation rose like a tide, and his praises were as good as the tide.
The An family, on the other hand, was currently filled with gloom.
An Liming's expression was gloomy. He looked at An Tairan, who was lying in front of him, and his heart ached for him.
He originally thought that even if Ye Fan didn't want to work with them, he wouldn't offend them to death.
After all, they were all in the same city. He wouldn't lower his head to see them.
No matter what, he should at least give them some face.
But he actually severely punished his own son and almost beat him to death.
This hatred was absolutely irreconcilable!
"An Lan, is this how you protect young master?"
An Lan hurriedly knelt on the ground. "This subordinate admits his mistake and invites the Patriarch to punish me."
"Hmph, what's the use of punishing me? Can Ran'er recover to her original state? I want Ye Fan to die and disappear from this world forever."
An Lan revealed a ruthless expression.
"Patriarch, leave this matter to me! I will personally lead a group of men to take Ye Fan's head. I will atone for my crimes and take revenge for young master."1
"You want to kill your way into the Prefecture?"
An Liming frowned.
"We know nothing about Ye Fan's strength. It's too risky for us to attack the Prefecture, and it's easy for us to get caught."
An Lin smiled. "Patriarch, you are worrying too much. Earlier, I used Ye Fan's spiritual energy to check, and found that he is just a lowly transvestite. His strength is very weak."
"A transvestite can transform into a human form?"
"It should be some special innate ability. As for the few guards beside him, they were a bit tricky, especially Yan Liang, his strength was very strong. " An Sheng was somewhat cautious.
"Is there a way to deal with them?"
"Yes, I can lure the tiger away from the mountain and lure him out of the City Lord Manor."
However, An Linming was still somewhat hesitant.
He had been entrenched in Chi Feng City for several decades, taking one step at a time, never beating a foot that he was uncertain of.
However, Ye Fan was an unknown to him.
An Feng was a little anxious. "Patriarch, the Prefecture is empty now. This is a good opportunity to strike."
"I heard that they have begun to recruit people. If they wait until the Prefecture is impregnable, it will be difficult for them to kill Ye Fan."
An Linming glanced at his son again and made up his mind. "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. If you can't do it well, bring your head here. Don't drag the An family into this mess."
"Yes, City Lord!"
