Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 471 Pie in the sky

In the private room of the teahouse, Princess Ankang was surprised that Chen Tan had really come back, but what was even more surprising was that he actually grabbed an old man selling candied haws on the street.

"Old friend? Maybe?"

Princess Ankang raised her eyebrows.

There are so many people selling candied haws on the streets of the capital. Perhaps the old man in front of him has had a relationship with Princess Ankang.

But Chen Tan had previously vowed that the followers he brought could prove his identity as the leader of the Money Gang.

Now it seems……

Princess Ankang was speechless and regretted asking Xu Lang to send someone to the palace to inform the two managers.

But she still asked politely:
"Gang Leader Chen, who is this?"

However, Li Xuan, who was lying in Princess Ankang's arms, recognized the identity of the old man selling candied haws.

"It turned out to be Yang Wanli. It seems that this Chen Tan is really the leader of the Money Gang."

Li Xuan's expression became much more serious.

Li Xuan was deeply impressed by the deputy leader of the Money Gang.

This person is proficient in disguise and bone reduction, and is very good at disguise.

But Li Xuan now mainly distinguishes people by their breath, so he will not be confused so easily.

Seeing that Princess Ankang did not recognize Yang Wanli at all, Chen Tan pushed his shoulder.

Next, Yang Wanli reluctantly revealed his true appearance. His whole figure was taller, and the makeup on his face was wiped off by him in one fell swoop.

"Is it actually a simple makeup technique that you rely on?"

"The flaw is smaller than a human skin mask. This guy's disguise skills are really amazing."

Li Xuan carefully observed the remaining marks on Yang Wanli's face, and then compared it with the old man's appearance before, and sighed sincerely.

"No wonder he has ordinary strength, but he can become the deputy leader of the Money Gang. He also has a unique skill."

Yang Wanli's attitude was very different from before. He saluted Princess Ankang respectfully and said:

"Yang Wanli, a common man, has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

You know, the last time they met, Yang Wanli relied on the support of the fourth prince to treat Princess Ankang in a decent manner, not very respectful, at most polite.

"One or two of them are so attentive. It seems that their intentions are not small."

Li Xuan didn't dare to trust these two people so easily.

After all, they and the Money Gang are still enemies.

When Xiaocui and his grandfather were rescued in the West City, they had a conflict with the Money Gang.

Later, Xu Lang, who was in charge of the guard at the time, overthrew countless members of the Money Gang by himself.

This incident later caused the Qian Gang to cut off its tail to survive, and the Qian Gang who bullied Xiao Cui and the others were silenced in prison.

Even if they are just some peripheral gang members, the Money Gang may not be able to swallow this tone easily.

Although Princess Ankang paid attention to the movements of the Money Gang when she left the palace several times later, the Money Gang became cautious and never made any mistakes in front of Princess Ankang again. They even did good deeds for a long time and established a good reputation in the capital. gained a short-lived reputation.

Whether the money gang of good people and good deeds continued to do this, the three little ones did not continue to pay attention to it later.

But to think that the Money Gang, which has always been cautious, has its leader and deputy gang leader personally come forward today to serve as witnesses against the Chang'an County Magistrate. This really makes Sanxiao confused.

In this matter, even if the Money Gang does nothing, it shouldn't have much impact.

After all, the family has a big business, and even if some members of the gang are implicated by the Chang'an County Magistrate, it is definitely not likely to be a serious injury.

This is also the key to making Li Xuan and Princess Ankang confused about Chen Tan's intentions.

"What does he want?"

The appearance of Yang Wanli really dispelled Princess Ankang's doubts about Chen Tan's identity.

Then, Princess Ankang asked calmly:

"So, Gang Leader Chen, Deputy Gang Leader Yang."

"Why don't we open the skylight and speak frankly, and directly tell me your purpose of coming today."

"We also save each other's time and energy."

Chen Tan smiled slightly, while Yang Wanli looked deeply at Princess Ankang.

"Straight to the point?"

Yang Wanli had had a brief contact with Princess Ankang before. At that time, he just thought that she was a relatively simple-minded princess who would be angry because of the suffering of ordinary people.

This is a rare thing for those in high positions.

After all, although they both live in the same space as the capital, the princess and the common people are completely different from each other, and they are completely different from the same world.

But Yang Wanli still vividly remembered how angry Princess Ankang was with the Money Gang and threatened to dismantle their chief helm.

Regarding Princess Ankang's question, Yang Wanli remained silent and just looked at Chen Tan.

He is just a deputy gang leader, so it is not his turn to answer such questions.

Besides, Yang Wanli didn't want to answer, so he got more involved.

"Your Highness Princess, please speak quickly, so Chen will stop beating around the bush."

Chen Tan said to Princess Ankang, and then stated the purpose of his trip.

"As Chen said before, there is a certain degree of division within our Money Gang. In order to continue rapid expansion, a small group of people began to cooperate with people like the Chang'an County Magistrate..."

Before Chen Tan could finish speaking, Princess Ankang interrupted, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Gang Leader Chen doesn't want to tell me that your money gang is innocent, right?"

"Even if I agree, I'm afraid the Chang'an County Magistrate won't agree."

"As for the oppressed people, I'm afraid they won't even agree."

Princess Ankang has never considered letting money help pick it out.

After all, it’s hard to say who, between the magistrate of Chang’an and the Qianqian Gang, is helping the evil.

"Chen can understand Her Royal Highness the princess's mood."

"And although I am the leader of the Money Gang, I have no intention of covering up those idiots."

With that said, Chen Tan asked Princess Ankang with his eyes if he could sit down and talk.

Princess Ankang nodded and asked Chen Tan and Yang Wanli to take their seats.

Chen Tan slowly poured himself and Yang Wanli a cup of tea, and then continued:
"Her Royal Highness Princess needs to convict the Chang'an County Magistrate, and the Money Gang is willing to provide physical evidence and witness."

"But Chen also hopes that Her Highness the Princess can do us a small favor."

Princess Ankang narrowed her eyes and waited for the next step.

Li Xuan also said secretly in his heart: "Here he comes!"

Chen Tan hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, he said very distressedly:

"Whether Her Royal Highness the Princess believes what Chen said before, the original intention when the Money Gang was founded was indeed to help merchants help each other."

"In the beginning, it was because there were a lot of shady activities in the water transport terminals, which harmed merchants and made it difficult for businessmen."

"The predecessor of the Money Gang was just a temporary alliance of several businessmen to protect themselves."

"But then..."

"More and more merchants are seeking shelter from money, and we have begun to charge a certain fee to ensure their safety during business, which can be regarded as mutually beneficial."

"Gradually, the Money Gang's business has expanded from simple water transportation to the point where it is now almost all-pervasive."

"As for saying that the Money Gang is a righteous group, it's not Chen's nonsense."

"In order to break into unfamiliar areas, the Money Gang started by solving problems for the people. The effect was remarkable and it made it easy for us to integrate into the local area."

Chen Tan's words made Princess Ankang feel uncomfortable instinctively, and she asked:
"But no matter what your original intention is, haven't you now become an underground gang that oppresses the people?"

"Don't deny this, I saw it with my own eyes."

Chen Tan did not deny it, nor did he explain it further. He just nodded silently.

"As the Money Gang continues to grow and has more and more influence throughout Daxing, people's hearts are beginning to be divided." Princess Ankang disagreed with this statement.

"Don't tell me, Gang Leader Chen, that the Money Gang got involved in those underground businesses without your approval?"

"A gang leader doesn't even have this kind of control. I'm afraid he would have been kicked out a long time ago, right?"

Chen Tan understood that Princess Ankang was not as easy to fool as she seemed, and sighed:

"Your Highness, let's take the capital as an example. Before the Money Gang got involved in these businesses, the underground world in the capital was even more chaotic. Gang bloodbaths happened almost every night."

"At that time, the capital city was full of schools of thought. In a small slum city, there might be more than a dozen gangs."

"Does Gang Leader Chen want to say that it is the existence of the Money Gang that maintains order in the underground world of the capital?"

Princess Ankang shook her head in disappointment. She was a little disappointed with Chen Tan's performance. She thought Chen Tan would have something to say, but the result was nothing more than this.

"If the Money Gang doesn't benefit from it, maybe it's really a righteous act."

"It seems that from here on, the Money Gang began to deviate from its original intention."

Princess Ankang said sharply and sarcastically.

Although Yang Wanli on the side did not speak and just drank tea silently, he did not take Princess Ankang's remarks to heart.

If you don’t do these businesses, someone else will.

Rather than letting those who can't do it do it, let them do it themselves.

At least the noise caused by it will be much smaller, and things will be more organized.

Yang Wanli never thought it was wrong for money gangs to be involved in these businesses.

They are underground gangs themselves, and they make shady money.

In Yang Wanli's view, the division of labor in society is like this, and someone has to do the dirty work.

The government must also be blamed for being unable to regulate these shadowy underground businesses.

Therefore, although Yang Wanli was here quietly listening to Princess Ankang's talk, he felt that the root cause of these things lay with noble people like them.

But with a little girl like Princess Ankang, Yang Wanli would not waste his time arguing about these things.

After all, they were the ones asking for help and took the initiative to seek cooperation from Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang also obviously lost interest in the history of the Money Gang and urged:

"Gang Leader Chen, I have an imperial mandate and don't have much time to waste."

Chen Tan had a bitter expression and said helplessly:
"Your Highness the Princess is really impatient."

Seeing that he was still lingering, Princess Ankang stood up with Li Xuan in her arms expressionlessly, preparing to leave.

Yu'er took two steps forward and opened the door for Princess Ankang.

When Princess Ankang was about to step out of her private room, Chen Tan's voice came slowly.

"Since Her Highness the Princess feels that our Money Gang is not doing well, why don't Chen give this part of the business to Her Highness and see if you can manage it better than us."

Princess Ankang's footsteps stopped silently, but she still turned her back to Chen Tan and faced the door.

"What do you think, Your Highness the Princess?"

After Chen Tan finished speaking, the elegant room fell into an eerie silence.

Even Yang Wanli, who came with Chen Tan, looked at him in shock.

Although Chen Tan was a little strange at first, his expression was extremely serious at this time and he was not joking at all.

But Li Xuan, who was in Princess Ankang's arms, sneered disdainfully.

"It's a gift of evidence, and it's also a gift of industry."

"With such a heavy bait, what kind of fish does this guy want to catch?"

Li Xuan didn't believe that pie-in-the-sky things would happen in this world.

Even if there is, you still have to weigh whether you have the appetite to eat it.

Before today, the relationship between the three little ones and the Money Gang was not harmonious, it could even be said to be hostile.

But Chen Tan's current proposal is tantamount to giving part of the Money Gang to Princess Ankang.

For an underground gang, these shady underground businesses are the foundation.

After giving away all the foundation, what is the gang leader Chen Tan trying to do?
At this moment, Li Xuan's only guess is that if Chen Tan is not joking, then what he wants to hand to Princess Ankang must be a hot potato.

Princess Ankang finally turned around and looked at Chen Tan, staring directly into his eyes.

Chen Tan met Princess Ankang's gaze without fear, with a faint smile on his face.

Li Xuan did not intervene and planned to let Princess Ankang make her own decision.

"Your Highness, why don't you think about it carefully for a few days?"

Chen Tan was the first to speak and took a step back.

"No need."

Princess Ankang spoke firmly.

"Please also ask Gang Leader Chen to prepare the evidence against the Chang'an County Magistrate as soon as possible."

"Did you agree?" Chen Tan confirmed with a smile.

Princess Ankang glanced outside the open door, then a smile appeared on her face, she nodded and said:
"nature."

"Moreover, the people who will contact your gang have also arrived. I hope that we can have a happy cooperation and bring peace to the people of the capital."

After Princess Ankang finished speaking, a neatly dressed old man walked into the private room and saluted Princess Ankang:
"Your Highness."

Princess Ankang nodded, and then said to Manager Shang:

"This Gang Leader Chen has some properties that he wants to transfer to my name."

"Old slave, I obey."

Manager Shang took the order directly without asking any further questions.

Li Xuan didn't expect that Manager Shang would come in person.

Chen Tan, who was sitting calmly on his seat, immediately stood up and bowed his hand in front of him.

"I've met Mr. Shang."

"Oh? Gang Leader Chen recognizes me?"

Manager Shang asked somewhat unexpectedly, with a smile always on his face, which made people feel like spring breeze.

"I've heard his name for a long time, and now I finally get to meet him. I'm really lucky."

Manager Shang quickly waved his hand: "Gang Leader Chen is too polite."

Seeing that both of them had greeted each other, Princess Ankang finally gave her instructions:
"By the way, Manager Shang."

"Gang Leader Chen still has a large amount of evidence against the Chang'an County Magistrate. Please ensure that these evidence are handed over first."

"I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first."

After Princess Ankang finished speaking, she said hello to several people, hugged Li Xuan, and took Yu'er directly out of the teahouse.

Xu Lang and others also hurriedly saluted Manager Shang, then hurriedly followed Princess Ankang and continued their escort work.

In the private room, Mr. Shang, Chen Tan and Yang Wanli were left behind.

Manager Shang was still smiling, but the smiles on Chen Tan and Yang Wanli's faces looked a little stiff.

Back in the carriage, the three little ones were lying by the window, looking in the direction of the tea house.

"Hmph, no matter what Chen Tan's ideas are, let him have the guts to fight with Mr. Shang!"

After that, Princess Ankang lowered the curtains and asked Xu Lang to leave the place immediately.

Li Xuan silently gave Princess Ankang a thumbs-up gesture and said to himself:

"What a trick to drive away a tiger and devour a wolf!"
