Chapter 5: Be low-key and harmonious
After leaving Li's mansion quickly, Chen Ning felt relieved.
"Go to the inn first, examine this person carefully, and interrogate the Zhao family's industry in Pengcheng. Who has seen Zhao Baoyu and asked about all the unsafe factors?" Chen Ning arranged.
Zhang San and Li Si nodded repeatedly, and they knocked Sun Yeshang fainted, and then returned to the inn that they agreed with Ma Yi and others and stayed there for the time being.
Chen Ning took off his silk coat and changed into ordinary clothes. The experience of the Li family made him alert. It is better to be cautious and not to do it too casually. After all, he is a fugitive. When wearing silk, Chen Ning likes to be a disciple of a noble family, which is easy to cause trouble.
When Zhang San and Li Si were asked to interrogate Sun Yeshang, Chen Ning was about to fill his stomach, so he went on a walk around the streets and found a small restaurant. He went directly to the second floor to pick a elegant seat.
"Three pounds of mutton, a roast chicken, and a pot of apricot blossom wine!"
The waiter warmly welcomed him and soon brought wine and food.
Chen Ning was eating slowly while thinking about the follow-up plan.
Just as Shen Ning was thinking, a weak female voice came from beside him: "Young master, your son... do you want to listen to the song?"
Chen Ning looked back and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who was asking timidly. Next to her was an old man. The two were dressed in a simple manner, and although they were patched, they were very clean.
Seeing Chen Ning looking at him, the little girl was so scared that she looked away.
"Listen, and listen to the most expensive one!" Chen Ning nodded and showed a gentle smile.
The little girl's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "All the songs are three-in-one. Do you think they are OK?"
In this era, you can buy two steamed buns for three cents.
For a steamed bun, the little girl looked hopeful and worried, afraid that Chen Ning would dislike her.
"Yes!" Chen Ning replied with a smile.
The little girl and the old man breathed a sigh of relief and immediately started playing next to him.
In fact, the old man's erhu is like a little girl, and the girl's voice is shy, but she is better at being crisp and clean, and attentive, because they are performing hope of living.
Shenning and listening very seriously.
Ordinary people live in this chaotic world and are living carefully, for fear of being abandoned by this society.
Unfortunately, such a good song was suddenly interrupted.
"What a sing of howls! It's a big shame, get out of here!"
A burly man happened to walk up the stairs and immediately cursed impatiently when he heard the little girl's singing.
The little girl was so scared that her singing stopped abruptly, standing there cowardly and not daring to speak, tears lingering in her eyes. The old man hurriedly stood up, apologized to the man, and then expressed his apology to Chen Ning, and then pulled the little girl to leave in a hurry.
However, Chen Ning stopped them.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "The little girl sang well, and the old man's erhu was also striking, which was fascinating. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to finish listening."
As he said that, Chen Ning stuffed a piece of silver from his arms to the old man and smiled and said, "This is the reward for listening to the music!"
The old man was a little stunned and hurriedly said, "I can't accept it, after all, the song has not been finished... and there are too many."
Chen Ning gave the money to the old man without saying anything, and said, "Go away quickly."
When the old man saw Chen Ning's determination, he quickly bowed to thank him. The girl also stared at Chen Ning in a daze. Before she could speak, she was dragged away by the old man.
Chen Ning glanced at the man who scolded him, his eyes were cold, but he didn't say anything. He just said that he would be low-key, so he should just drink honestly.
Chen Ning was never afraid of trouble, but if the old man and the girl were implicated, it would be bad, so Chen Ning let the two go and did not let them continue playing.
But sometimes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
The strong man's eyes were neat, and he noticed Chen Ning's gaze. He immediately threw the horse whip on the table and shouted to the waiter: "Waiter, how can you let such a slut go up to the second floor? It disturbs the uncle's tranquility and see if I won't slap you to death. Also, what are you looking at? Where did you come from? Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyes and squeeze it out!"
At the end of the conversation, the strong man actually scolded Chen Ning. It seemed that Chen Ning's gaze provoked him, making him very angry.
Chen Ning was stunned when tasting wine, and his eyes were on the strong man again.
Look, someone is asking for death on his own initiative, it’s not that he is causing trouble!
Chen Ning put down the wine cup and was about to get up, the waiter said earnestly: "The Third Master is very saying, "I remember it, I will never let them go upstairs in the future. Third Master, please sit down, please sit down!"
Then, the waiter ran to Chen Ning again, poured a glass of wine for Chen Ning, and whispered: "Guest, this is Mr. Li San, and the eldest brother is the escort supervisor of the Li Mansion. Guest is just here for the first time, so don't mess with him. It's better to toast him a glass of wine to calm down the situation."
"Li Mansion? Which Li Mansion?" Chen Ning became interested when he heard this.
The waiter replied: "There are still a few Li families in Pengcheng, General Li's Li's mansion. You won't even know General Li Yuanxiao!"
"Of course I know, and it's so thunderous." Chen Ning smiled immediately. He came out of the Li Mansion and met the Li Mansion again. It seemed that his son-in-law had a fate with the Li Mansion.
A strong man is not from a noble family, but also a poor family. He relies on his brother to work in the Li family, so he is used to pretending to be powerful. Facing the children of aristocratic families, even if they are ordinary low-ranking children of aristocratic families, he is as well-behaved as a dog, but facing a simple poor family like Chen Ning, he is naturally full of spirit. This restaurant is ordinary, and the disciples of aristocratic families will not come here to drink, so he dares to show off his power.
So Chen Ning's clothes were changed too early.
Seeing Chen Ning coming to apologize with wine, the strong man sneered and said, "It's not that easy to be respectful to me. Your eyes just now made me feel uncomfortable. Come on, slap yourself and make me happy!"
Chen Ning stopped beside the strong man, then turned around and asked the waiter: "Waiter, has this idiot always been like this?"
The waiter suddenly widened his eyes and was a little confused. What did he hear? Also, what does idiot mean?
The strong man was furious. Although he didn't understand the meaning of a fool, he was just insulting words when he heard it, which made him slam the table and was ready to teach Chen Ning a lesson.
But Chen Ning's movements were faster. He swung his left hand and slapped the wine cup in his hand directly into the man's mouth!
The whole wine cup was slapped on it, and the wine cup broke and pierced the strong man's lips, and blood flowed in an instant. The strong man was in pain and hurriedly reached out to grab Chen Ning, but Chen Ning's right hand grabbed his wrist and then exerted force, just like a twist, the man's wrist rotated almost 360 degrees.
The pain in his wrist made the man subconsciously open his mouth and shout, while Chen Ning continued to use force and directly slapped the pieces of the wine cup into his mouth.
"Woo woo..."
The man's mouth was cut in an instant, causing him to scream and tears flowed.
Chen Ning let go and spared his life, not letting him eat the pieces.
"I'm still too kind."
Chen Ning sighed, then went back to continue drinking.
The waiter was already silly and was stunned. He didn't know what to do. The other customers were so scared that they ran away in panic, fearing that they would stay here and splash blood.
The man knelt on the ground and vomited out fragments, each of which was blood on it. The pain in his mouth made him suffer, and then he looked at Chen Ning in fear.
Chen Ning just grabbed his wrist and let him know that he was not an opponent, but he was used to being arrogant, how could he forget it like this?
He covered his lips and ran towards the stairs. When he went downstairs, he pointed at Chen Ning and said, "Nong Benzhe, 南..."
Then the thief ran away.
Chen Ning asked the waiter: "What did this idiot say?"
The waiter begged: "I don't know! The young master should leave earlier. That idiot must go to help rescue soldiers. His eldest brother is the chief escort of the Li Mansion, and he has dozens of people under him. Although he is not a big figure in Pengcheng, he cannot be provoked by ordinary people. Young master..."
Chen Ning threw some money to the waiter and said with a smile: "Reward you! Go down."
The waiter had no choice but to report the matter to the shopkeeper.
