Chapter 170: Being forced by grandson again

Wang An looked carefully, and seeing the two big men speaking in bad voices, he felt a little scared.

However, he couldn't bear to part with the big pearl, so he said in a timid way: "Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the East Factory, is my sworn brother. I advise you not to make a mistake that will haunt you forever and go further and further down the road of breaking the law and committing crimes!"

When these words were spoken, the shopkeeper and his two employees were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

The shopkeeper pointed at Wang An and laughed, "How dare you, a little jerk like you, claim to be Wei Zhongxian's sworn brother? Don't you have a penis, either?"

After the shopkeeper finished laughing, he urged Ada and Aer, "Take off his pants and see if he has a penis!"

The two guys were also stupid. Upon hearing what was said, they actually came up and tried to pull down Wang An's pants.

Wang An was startled and hurriedly pulled Ergou out of the pawnshop.

The shopkeeper got the benefit and didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he called Ada and Aer and said, "Let this kid go, he ran fast, otherwise I would have made him go to the palace and become a eunuch!"

The two guys smiled and nodded, and were about to turn around and go back to the backyard.

Unexpectedly, there was a loud cursing sound outside the door. The three of them came to the door and saw that it was none other than Wang An.

Wang An was standing at the door of the pawnshop, pointing at Tianbao Pawnshop with his hands on his hips, and yelling like a shrew: "Fellow pawnbrokers, please judge for me. I gave him a pearl as big as a chess piece, but this pawnshop was dishonest and switched our pearls!"

He then spread out his palm and handed the crooked, cracked pearl to the onlookers, "You gave us this kind of rubbish instead. It's totally unjust!"

The shopkeeper saw more and more people gathered at the door, all pointing at the sign of Tianbao Pawn Shop. His face suddenly turned cold and he called to the two shop assistants, "Go, break his legs for me!"

After the shopkeeper finished his instructions, he turned black into white and said fearlessly: "Where did this little scoundrel come from? How dare you come to our Tianbao Pawn Shop to blackmail us?"

"Why don't you clean your dog eyes and see whose property this is! Today I will not only break your legs, but also take you to the authorities!"

Immediately, the onlookers advised: "Young man, it is hard to tell what is right and what is wrong, you should leave quickly."

"Yes, I heard that this Tianbao Pawnshop is the property of Yangwu Hou Xue Lian. If you fall into his hands, what good will it be?"

When Wang An heard this, he finally understood why the owner of the pawnshop dared to swap his pearls in broad daylight. It turned out that he had a powerful backer behind him who made him feel fearless.

As far as I can remember, the so-called Yangwu Marquis Xue Lian was the eighth-generation grandson of Xue Lu, a famous minister who participated in the Jingnan Rebellion, and a hereditary marquis with a red-lettered iron certificate.

But he had a very bad reputation. The "Jiashen Chuanxinlu" recorded that this man committed many illegal and bad deeds. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, he broke into the capital with bandits and tortured Xue Lian to death. When the people heard the news, they all applauded. This shows what kind of person he was.

When Wang An heard that he had gotten into trouble with such a person, he could only consider himself unlucky.

He saw A Da and A Er again, and they were about to stretch out their big hands to grab him, so he quickly grabbed Er Gou and ran two miles in one breath.

After exercising, the two idiots Ada and Aer finally disappeared. Wang An and Ergou then held their knees and panted.

I just let the air in my lungs flow, but the air in my heart was rising rapidly.

Damn it, he endured the disgust and took care of the big treasure in order to get some small treasures from Wei Zhongxian, but in the end, it was taken away by someone for no reason. How could Wang An, who was influenced by the civilization of later generations, tolerate this?
He pointed in the direction of Tianbao Pawnshop which was two miles away and yelled, "Damn it, my son is robbing me, it's totally lawless!" Wang An was cursing happily when he was suddenly hit on the shoulder with something. Wang An was so scared that he almost peed himself, thinking that the two Ah Da and Ah Er had caught up with him again.

But when he turned around and saw that they were two amiable yamen runners, he became even more timid, and an inexplicable fear rose in his heart.

The two yamen runners were wearing dark blue robes, each with a sword on their waist. One of them slapped his shoulder with the scabbard and said angrily, "Where did this ruffian come from? How dare he roar in front of the Shuntian government office?"

Another person replied: "If you know what's good for you, pay two taels for the tea, or I'll put you in jail and make you roar in court!"

As a law-abiding citizen in a society ruled by law, how could Wang An lie about this?
What the hell, roaring in court? If you want to roar in court, you have to at least get me into court first, right?

As the saying goes, even a clay man can get angry. He had just been cheated out of a big pearl, so how could he let two policemen cheat him again?
Wang Anyi angrily groped in his sleeves and only pulled out a five-liang silver ingot. He said, "Bring the scissors. We don't have any change today!"

The two policemen were just trying to extort money casually, but they didn't expect Wang An to actually give them the money, and he seemed to be a good fish.

The two men's eyes suddenly lit up, and they snatched the five taels of silver from Wang An's hand, laughing and saying, "What scissors? We don't even have scissors with us!"

"How about this, next time when you really go to jail, we two brothers will take good care of you."

"Now... I'll give you a moment to disappear immediately!"

Wang An's eyes widened. This time he could no longer bear it. He raised his foot... and left!
He cursed, "My son just robbed me, and now my grandson is trying to rob me again. This is really unfair!"

He was thinking that he didn't know how much face Wei Zhongxian still had in the capital, so he had to ask him to help him get back his face.

However, Wang An was cursing happily, but the two policemen had not yet walked away. Upon hearing his words, they immediately rushed over, one of them holding Wang An's arm and cursing: "You ungrateful fish... Bah, you ungrateful bastard, what are you cursing for?"

Another person also said: "Damn it, it seems that I have to let you have a taste of what it's like to be in Shuntian Prefecture's prison today!"

As they spoke, the two men dragged Wang An towards the Shuntian government office.

Wang An quickly put on a smile and said, "Brother, you two just said you would take good care of me, remember?"

"Didn't we agree that two taels of silver for tea would exempt you from one jail term? I just gave you five taels, remember?"

"I don't want the change from you guys, can you please put it away for me?"

The two yamen runners looked at each other, and a sly smile appeared on their lips. Then they said, "We brothers are as good as each other. We said we would take good care of you, and we will take good care of you!"

"But what we just said is that we will take good care of you next time you really go to jail, so!"

"So what?" Wang An suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Hehe!" One of them laughed and said, "If you don't go to Shuntian Prefecture Prison, how can we take care of you?"
