Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 27 Help me set up a beauty trap
The same word "Nu Nu" made people's hearts flutter when Dan Niang said it.
This level is really not comparable to the immature and artificial performance of Ugunun Yingge.

Yang Yuan originally just wanted to find a general for his "Youqiusi", but he almost ruined his plan when she called him "nunu".

He quickly collected his thoughts and said with a smile: "Haha, young lady, you are naturally a decent woman, but you know whether your family is decent or not."

Yang Yuan stood up, and Dan Niang immediately dodged back like a frightened little rabbit, with her back pressed against the flower stand against the wall.

The flower stand was hit so hard that it tilted slightly and the flower pot on it almost fell down.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan stopped and said, "Young lady, don't be afraid. I am not a bad person. I am not planning to attack you. I came to you because I want to ask for your help."

Dan Niang was slightly surprised. The development of the situation seemed to be different from what she had imagined.

Dan Niang was stunned and said, "How can a mere woman like me help you, sir?"

Yang Yuan said: "The government wants to investigate a person, but this person has a special identity and cannot be forced.

We can't force a man, but we want him to say what we want to hear. What do you think is the best way?"

Dan Niang's eyes flickered, but she shook her head and said, "I don't understand."

Yang Yuan said: "Of course he needs a woman who can make him fall in love with her at first sight.

Men always like to show off in front of the women they like. It is easy for them to say things that they don’t want to say, shouldn’t say, or dare not say…”

Dan Niang opened her eyes wide in astonishment and said in a lost voice, "Master, are you going to set up a 'beauty trap'?"

"Beauty trap" is a honey trap.

However, the term "sinner jump" did not appear until the Qing Dynasty.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, this behavior was called "Beauty Bureau".

Lin'an had a large population and prosperous industries, so things like "beauty traps" were not uncommon.

Dan Niang was a bartender and now runs a bartender, so it's not surprising for her to know such words.

So Yang Yuan didn't take it seriously, nodded and smiled, "Almost, that's what I mean."

Dan Niang blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "My Lord, how can I, a good girl from a decent family, ruin my innocence by doing such a thing?

Besides, I have a family and a business. If I get angry with that person and he comes after me, I won’t be able to escape even if I want to. Please have mercy on me, sir, and let me go.”

Yang Yuan said: "If I don't help you, young lady, how can you have a family and a career?"

Dan Niang couldn't help but choke.

Yang Yuan tried to persuade her again, "Dan Niang, as long as you help the government with this matter, I will solve your problem for you.

Besides, you don't have to worry about the person I want you to deal with. By then, he won't have the chance to cause trouble for you."

Dan Niang bit her lower lip and hesitated.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan did not urge them. He just picked up the cup of fragrant tea that Dan Niang had originally offered to her parents and took a sip.

He was certain that Dan Niang would agree.

Not to mention whether she could get past the hurdle of the Fang family members, even the hurdle of her parents was something she couldn't get past without someone to support her.

This is because "governing the world with filial piety" is a system that has been followed as a guiding principle by all dynasties. It is the cornerstone of the patriarchal system and the foundation of the relationship between the ruler and his subjects, and it must never be shaken.

Treason is a serious crime in any era, second only to treason and rebellion.

If the case was serious and had a bad impact, not only would the offender be executed, but the local county magistrate would also be dismissed from office, and the local teacher would be beheaded for failing to educate the students. Once such a thing happened, a corner of the drum tower of the local county government would be cut off.

From now on, anyone who comes here and sees the drum tower with a missing corner will know that a disobedient and unfilial person was born here, and thus the place has become a shame for the entire county.

The cut-off corner of the drum tower can only be restored after a local person who is extremely filial is commended by the court.

Under such a system, no law enforcement officer dares to ignore the crime of disobedience, and sanctions will be increased step by step.

How severe and strict can the punishment for the crime of disobedience be?

Forget about saying that you disobeyed your parents or grandparents. Even if you gave your elder brother an impatient look, as long as he wanted to make a fuss about it and sued you, the government would sentence you to eighty strokes of the cane.

Just imagine that under such strict rules, if her parents came to cause trouble every day, she wouldn't dare to hit them, wouldn't dare to scold them, and wouldn't even dare to show an expression of anger but not being able to speak. How could she live?

Old Man Fan and Aunt Deng went downstairs dejectedly, and saw his son, his second uncle, and his eldest uncle standing in the courtyard, craning their necks to watch them come out.

Aunt Deng immediately scolded angrily: "Don't you have any ambition? You were frightened by a few words? We don't want such a big family business?"

Uncle Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm timid, but this family business should not fall into our hands, both legally and legally.

It would have been fine for us to bluff Dan Niang before, but who knew she actually had a lover, and he's an official, what else can we do?"

Deng's uncle also advised: "Yes, big sister, how about we go back first and discuss a good idea first?"

Aunt Deng said angrily: "So what if she has the help of the government? Her husband has only been dead for less than a hundred days, and she already has a lover?

Such shameless things, it's not shameful to say them out loud! Isn't that senior official afraid of tarnishing his reputation?
I would say that they are afraid in their hearts, and it is because of your incompetence that they are frightened by him."

Old Man Fan said helplessly: "They have already come out, why don't we go back and find someone who knows the answer first."

Fan Dong said angrily, "Just leaving like that? I won't accept that! He even kicked me and it hurt so much. Dad, look, my arm is choked and broken."

When Aunt Deng saw her son with his sleeves rolled up and his elbow rubbed and bloodied, she felt both distressed and angry.

"My son is right. Is it easy for us to come to the city? Are we going to go back in disgrace?

If we don't take some benefits this time, we won't be able to take advantage of her next time.

Haven't you noticed that ever since that damn girl had the support of that thief, she has dared to talk back?

After a while, she will be even less afraid of us."

Old Man Fan smiled bitterly and said, "But the great official is still upstairs, what can we do?"

Aunt Deng rolled her eyes and sneered, "Let's go to her store and make a scene. If she wants to keep running this restaurant, she has to give us some benefits first. Otherwise, I won't leave today."

Old Man Fan hesitated and said, "But that senior official..."

Aunt Deng said disdainfully, "You are the only one who is afraid? You are useless, worse than a woman like me!
Her husband had just died, would her lover dare to show up in public? Wasn't he afraid of being stabbed in the back?
Besides, how dare that little bitch allow her lover to beat her parents in front of so many guests?

I am very upset and want to smash my daughter's shop to vent my anger. Anyone who dares to say something bad about me, get out!"

As Aunt Deng spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed to the shop in front.

Dan Niang's younger brother Fan Dong immediately followed excitedly.

Father Fan, Second Uncle Fan, and Uncle Deng looked at each other and followed reluctantly.
