Chapter 136 It would be nice to cooperate so obediently, why bother?
In the front yard of the private school, Zhao Duan's face changed in a second. When he faintly said these words, two colleagues were stunned for a moment.
The female gentleman standing opposite, with a passive resistance attitude, also felt a sinking heart.
"I talk to you kindly and kindly, but you don't appreciate it. Then I have no choice but to be merciless."
Zhao Duan looked gloomy, without any smile on his face.
He walked past his colleagues who were looking at each other in a hurry, and walked straight towards the master and servant.
"My lord, please don't get angry. My lady didn't mean that..."
An old servant with gray hair named "Uncle Fu" hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and smiled, and kept explaining.
I have no confidence in the moral standards of Dayu officials.
Did he finally reveal his true colors... Xue Xuan sighed in his heart, not surprised.
In the past, when she was an official lady, all the officials she saw had "kind faces", but these years at the bottom, she was used to seeing the truth.
What's more, he is still the "King of Hell" in the imperial office... She suppressed her sorrow and tried to look humble: "The official, please calm down, the daughter of the people must not say anything. I really don't know what you want. My father committed a crime in the past. It has long been concluded..."
Zhao Duan's face became darker again, as if a thunderstorm was about to fall.
"gentlemen!"
Just at this moment, a girl ran into the private school at the back.
Just a little bit big, with braids.
Behind the private school window, the curious heads of children poked out, looking this way.
They didn't know what was happening yet, they just thought it was "adults talking."
The little girl ignored Zhao Duan and the other two people and ran over, stopped suddenly, raised her head, and looked at her eagerly.
Xue Xuan's face changed slightly, and he tried his best to look pleasant:
"What are you doing here, girl? Are you going to the latrine?"
The little girl shook her head and wrung her fingers in embarrassment:
"I...the spring rolls were so fragrant. I just couldn't help myself and secretly ate two in advance."
Halfway through, he waved his hands again:
"However, I ate two of my own, and half of my husband's was untouched! Sir, don't tell my mother, okay..."
Haitang looked at the child in surprise and thought he was quite cute.
Zhang Han's face was paralyzed as always.
Xue Xuan looked anxious and urged: "It's okay, sir, I won't tell you, and I don't blame you. You go back to study first and don't come out."
"Oh!" The girl with braids happily agreed and ran back.
"Wait!"
Zhao Duan suddenly spoke, looked at the girl with interest, and said with a smile:
"What a cute kid. Come here and let me take a look."
The girl stared blankly at the three strangers, then took half a step back timidly, a little scared.
Xue Xuan also felt a thump in his heart and tried to maintain his composure:
"This is just a child of the people nearby..."
"Really?" Zhao Duan took the lead and picked up the girl with one arm.
With the other hand, he pinched the other person's chubby face, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but his tone was not warm at all: "Tsk tsk, you are not afraid of strangers, that's good. Where is your family? Who is there at home? ?”
It seemed like it was just an ordinary person teasing children, but coupled with his cold eyes at this moment, it made the hearts of everyone present jump.
Xue Xuan was flustered and wanted to snatch it, but he didn't dare, so he had to say: "My lord, children are not sensible. If I bump into you, it will be bad. Please..."
Zhao Duan raised his eyebrows coldly, glanced at her, and said displeasedly: "Every official is talking about cooperation, but he doesn't even ask who we are. I think Miss Xue's words are nice. But my heart is not sincere at all.”
"Don't dare."
Xue Xuan swallowed his anger, fearing that the students would anger the official:
"Many civilian girls are rude and forget to ask the official's name."
"Oh, you may have heard of me," Zhao Duan suddenly smiled meaningfully and announced his family name:
"Zhao Duan, Zhao Duan, Chief Inspector of Lihuatang."
It's him! ?
As soon as the three words "Zhao Duan" came out, Xue Xuan's slightly rosy cheeks suddenly turned white, and the expression on his face froze instantly.
There may be many people at the bottom of the class who have never heard of this name.
But Xue Xuan, who was once an official lady, has a broader vision and is certainly no stranger to this name.
The rumored empress has appeared, a new and infamous playboy.
In the past two months, it has become even more famous.
Because of the wanton retaliation, new labels such as "retribution must be retaliated" and "cruel means" have been added.
Relying on the grace of the saint and acting tyrannically, he is the new "little king of hell" in Zhaoyamen.
It's him?
Why would a person like that come to my door?
Xue Xuan was in a state of confusion.
"That Ambassador Zhao from White Horse Prison?" Uncle Fu also looked frightened.
Rumor has it that the White Horse Zhao family is extremely vicious, and anyone who offends him will be punished regardless of their status.
Either go to jail or beheaded.
Why is this living king of hell here?
Does your young lady seem to have annoyed the other party?
"Master Zhao, villain..."
He stammered and trembled, fearing that if he said something wrong, he would be killed.
"Huh? What are your expressions? Is this officer very scary?"
Zhao Duan stopped his smile, narrowed his eyes, then turned his head, pinched the girl's cheek with his fingers, and said quietly: "It's not as good as a child."
The girl looked at him timidly and did not dare to say a word.
She had never heard of the name Zhao Duan, but she instinctively wanted to struggle, but she couldn't escape.
"Zhao Jisi...these children..."
Behind him, Haitang frowned and couldn't help but speak.
Zhao Duan interrupted her and suddenly smiled:
"Sea Department reminded me."
He glanced at the young faces looking curiously in the school building, and said slowly and nonsensically: "If I remember correctly, there is a piece of information saying that there is a traitor suspected to be hiding in this public street, right?< br/>In my opinion, there is no need to go to great lengths to investigate and send people to bring back all the residents in this neighborhood for a thorough interrogation. I believe the parents of these children will be very cooperative. "
As he said that, he looked at Miss Luo Luo again and suddenly smiled:
"Miss Xue, you said...right?"
Boom!
At this moment, the hearts of the master and servant were like boulders, and they suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake. Faced with this undisguised and undisguised threat, how could they not understand the meaning behind the words?
Xue Xuan's face became paler. In her eyes, Zhao Duan's rather handsome face looked extremely vicious.
Like a vicious wolf dripping with blood, it seemed that it would easily strangle the girl in its arms to death.
Reminiscent of the rumored reputation of "Little King of Hell".
She had no doubt of it.
A group of children, a group of common people without any background...
With Zhao Duan's identity, he only needs to be charged with "harboring traitors" to be able to wield the butcher's knife at will.
"Master Zhao..."
The down-and-out official lady took a step forward in a panic and said almost pleadingly: "If a civilian girl collides with an adult, the civilian girl will bear all the blame and it has nothing to do with anyone else..."
"Can you afford it?"
Zhao Duan said expressionlessly:
"Miss Xue, I am very impatient. I will give you one last chance. Either cooperate obediently and answer whatever I ask. Or... you don't want to hurt these old neighbors because of yourself. "
A naked threat!
Xue Xuan's face finally lost all color.
Only then did she realize how ridiculous and vulnerable her so-called "hypocrisy" and "passive resistance" were in front of the real murderer.
At this moment, the girl with braids suddenly hit Zhao Duan with her soft fist: "Bad guy, don't bully Mr.... Don't bully Mr...."
Other children in the school also realized something was wrong and ran out one after another.
Zhao Duan seemed to be irritated. He picked up the girl expressionlessly and suddenly raised it high, as if he was about to fall down.
Haitang's expression suddenly changed, and she tried to step forward, but was suddenly grabbed by Zhang Han.
"I said!"
At the critical moment, Xue Xuan let out a scream, his legs went weak, he fell to the ground, his eyes turned red:
"Don't bother the child!"
Zhao Duan's raised hand paused slightly, and finally a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Put the girl lightly on the ground and throw it to Uncle Fu.
He lightly dusted his sleeves, glanced at the down-and-out young lady kneeling on the ground, and smiled brightly:
"It would be great if Miss Xue had already cooperated like this. Why should we cause trouble?"
Xue Xuan staggered up and cupped his hands:
"Please go to the back house and sit down for a while, the three adults. The daughter of the people came after calming the children, so as not to make them noisy and displease the adults."
Zhao Duan didn't say anything anymore. He just turned around and glanced at the two colleagues behind him:
Done.
…
…
Russian qing.
Uncle Fu led the three of them into a small main room in the back house. After serving tea, he excused himself and helped take care of the children.
After the others left, Haitang, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spoke.
This heroic, intelligent and straightforward female Jin Yi looked at Zhao Duan with a bad expression and said:
"Is this your method?"
Zhao Duan leisurely picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and smacked his lips.
I thought it was a "ghetto" tea. The taste was really bland and could barely quench my thirst.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Just tell me whether Xue Xuan is worthy of cooperation or not."
At this moment, his face had long lost the sinister look of the villain.
He talks with a smile, coupled with his handsome appearance, it is absolutely impossible to associate him with the image just now.
"..." Haitang choked for a moment, then she picked up the gun and the stick and said:
"As expected of the little King of Hell, I finally understand why Zhao Jisi has made great achievements repeatedly."
Are you saying that I can make meritorious deeds because I have no lower limit?
Do you understand this is a tactic... Zhao Duan curled his lips.
When he first deceived the mole, he commented that Haitang was smart but lacked great wisdom.
Today I still maintain my original view.
Well, I can barely add a label: kindness.
No wonder he ranks third in life and death and cannot be the first in Jiu Tang...
"To deal with different people, we need to be flexible and adopt different methods."
Zhao Duan said calmly:
"The Governor asked you two to help me. He may not have the intention of letting you learn my way of doing things."
Forget it, I can’t learn from it... Haitang didn’t agree.
With her intelligence, she certainly knew that Zhao Duan's behavior just now had a great element of performance, and the purpose was nothing more than to exploit his weaknesses and threaten him.
But this method is not effective for everyone.
Zhao Duan's reputation was so bad that Xue Xuan had no doubt that he really had no bottom line...
If you use someone with a less ferocious reputation, the same routine will be less effective.
This is the power of personality.
"If," Haitang was silent for a while, he suddenly asked: "I mean if, just now, Xue Xuan refused to speak, would you really have thrown that child to death?"
Zhao Duan remained silent.
Next to him, the taciturn Zhang Han suddenly said:
"He can't do it. That's why I dragged you."
Haitang was unconvinced: "How do you know he can't?"
Zhang Han thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, on the day he deceived us, although he made a huge noise and broke into so many mansions, he never affected even a single servant. So... "
King Juan turned to look at Zhao Duan, and suddenly said seriously:
"I think Ambassador Zhao is a good person."
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, as if he was amused by these words, and laughed loudly and wantonly: "Old Zhang, if you say these words, half of the people in the capital will laugh out loud. You don't know how to flatter. If you want to flatter people, don’t flatter them..."
He suddenly closed his mouth and turned to look outside the hall.
I saw the down-and-out young lady who had washed her face and adjusted her mood walked in and bowed first.
Xue Xuan raised his expressionless face and got straight to the point:
"Yes, my father was indeed wronged."
