"General~!"
"General, you are wronged!!" Outside the general's residence, dozens of men, women, and children, ranging from white-haired old men holding sticks to women holding babies, were all kneeling on the street outside the residence, crying loudly.
The Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family, all the clansmen of these three families, had previously been arrogant and domineering in Luoyin City, treating Luoyin City as their territory, and had made many heroic remarks. However, at this moment, they all came to the gate of the general's residence. Come forward and kneel on the ground.
His sad cries even alerted all the servants in the mansion.
"General, General, can I meet you?" Mr. Luo held his staff and saw a cavalry soldier holding a Qin sword at the gate of the mansion. He stepped forward tremblingly and knelt on the ground.
At this moment, Mr. Luo, who is much older and has white hair, is no longer as calm and calm as before. The fear and despair in his eyes are clearly visible to the naked eye.
Perhaps at this moment, Mr. Luo already regretted that he had hooked up with the entire family for the benefit of Luo Yin.
"The general has an order, no guests will be seen today!" Kou Zhuang held the Qin sword in one hand and glanced at the nobles in front of him, with no hidden warning.
Behind Kou Zhuang, in addition to the dozen or so cavalry soldiers who had their hands on the hilts of their swords, there were more than a dozen cavalry soldiers who had already cocked the Qin crossbow.
"Hopefully..." When Mr. Luo heard the words of the cavalry general in front of him, his eyes almost darkened. Fortunately, behind him he saw Uncle Bai walking out of the mansion door. At this moment, Mr. Luo simply put down his previous dignity.
"My nephew!" Mr. Luo knelt down and looked at Uncle Bai. After saying hello, he kowtowed to Mr. Bai with such force that Uncle Bai could clearly see the traces of blood on Mr. Luo's forehead when he raised his head.
"Why is Mr. Luo like this?" Uncle Bai was confused when he saw this, but he quickly stepped forward and helped Mr. Luo up.
At this moment, Uncle Bai looked at everything in front of him, and his slightly stunned mouth showed that he was uneasy in his heart.
How is this going? Bai Ping, who was following behind Uncle Bai, was also looking at this scene with a confused look on his face. What was going on? The old man in front of him and the old man behind him, weren't Mr. Luo and Mr. Tao?
Alas, isn't that person Fan Xian from the Fan family? Why are you all here kneeling down?
"My nephew, please let me meet the general in person!" Mr. Luo looked at Uncle Bai who was supporting him, with tears streaming down his face. His words were full of pleading, no, it could even be regarded as pleading.
Uncle Bai had never seen such a scene before. He swallowed his saliva and nodded. Although he didn't know what happened, since Mr. Luo wanted to see Bai Yan, it was not difficult.
However, Uncle Bai was also puzzled as to why the cavalry soldiers beside him did not let Mr. Luo and others in. Think of this.
Uncle Bai turned to look at the cavalry general beside him. He also knew this general. He was one of Bai Yan's trusted generals, Kou Zhuang.
"General Kou, I wonder if my nephew can explain why I don't see Mr. Luo and others?" Uncle Bai raised his hand to Kou Zhuang in a polite manner and said.
Kou Zhuang looked at Uncle Bai, clasped the Qin sword around his waist, and bowed his hand in return.
"General's order, no guests today!" Kou Zhuang did not explain much. Seeing this, Uncle Bai bowed to Kou Zhuang and thanked him. Then he thought about it and looked at his eldest son Bai Ping beside him.
"Ping'er, go talk to Yan'er! It's not the same thing at the moment. It's better to meet him!" Uncle Bai ordered.
Bai Ping nodded quickly after hearing his father's instructions, then turned and walked towards the mansion. Upon seeing this, Mr. Luo and Mr. Tao breathed a sigh of relief, while the crying of dozens of men, women, and children slowly stopped at this moment.
The streets around the General's Mansion were already crowded with countless Luoyin people. Whether they were merchants passing by, shopkeepers or children, or even traders and ordinary people, they were all crowded around, looking at this scene in shock.
None of them could believe their eyes at this moment, looking at the Luo family, Fan family, and Tao family members, all kneeling outside the door of the general's residence. This scene shocked them beyond description.
"what's up?"
"I don't know, what happened? Why are Luo, Fan, and Tao here?"
"What on earth is going on?" In the bustling crowd, there was an endless stream of words talking to each other. There were more and more voices, and the voices became louder.
Looking at the children of the Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family that they saw on the street in the past and did not dare to offend, they were all kneeling on the ground with fearful faces. This scene undoubtedly made everyone feel frightened and at the same time unbearable. I can't help but ignite the excitement of watching the excitement.
Among the many men, women, and children, the older women became more courageous when they saw the crowd, and they directly pointed at the children and talked to each other.
At this time.
"Get out of the way!! The official uniform is handling the case, get out of the way quickly!!" Suddenly many voices came from behind, which shocked the people. When they heard the official uniform, no one reacted, but as the crowd gave way Make a passage.
Under the gaze of all the people, many Qin officials went directly to the gate of the government and surrounded all the three clan members who were kneeling on the ground.
This scene not only surprised the people, but even Uncle Bai in front of the General's Mansion was shocked. Seeing the nobles who were kneeling on the ground turned pale with fright, Uncle Bai quickly looked at Ju Lu and Yan Hui who were walking behind the officials.
After a few breaths. When Uncle Bai saw Ju Lu and Yan Hui approaching, he quickly held up his hands and bowed.
"My lords, what's going on?" Uncle Bai couldn't help but ask after finishing the ceremony. The whole army bowed their hands to Uncle Bai in return.
"You don't know?" At this moment, when Ju Li heard what Uncle Bai said, he was even more confused than Uncle Bai. How come Uncle Bai didn't know what was going on at the moment? It was clear that Uncle Bai was a member of the Bai clan, and he was the uncle of General Zuo Geng.
Ju Lu glanced at Mr. Luo and Mr. Tao, whose faces were pale.
"I..." Uncle Bai was also confused. However, after noticing Mr. Luo's expression, Uncle Bai looked at the group. While thinking, he suddenly thought that he had been going with people from the three Tao families in the past few days. Restaurant.
It's possible that something happened during this period and Bai Yan didn't tell him. Think of this. Uncle Bai suddenly felt panicked, and his breathing couldn't help but become rapid.
Uncle Bai clearly felt that Bai Yan was dissatisfied with his behavior, so he deliberately didn't tell him.
"In Luoyin City, more than ten families and dozens of people reported the Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family. It has been investigated clearly that the person who drowned more than a month ago was also related to these three families. Among them, the case of household destruction was even more serious. What Fan Kan of the Fan family did with his three retinues..." Ju Lu looked from Mr. Luo to Uncle Bai, and explained with his hands in hand.
As Ju Lu said one thing after another, Uncle Bai stared at Ju Lu in shock, looking at Ju Lu in disbelief.
The people watching not far away, some who were closer and vaguely heard the conversation, suddenly started to make noises.
With the noise. Luo Lao's vision had already gone dark, he retreated tremblingly and fell to the ground, paralyzed on the ground helplessly.
Mr. Luo knows. Even if they received the news quickly enough, those nobles could not wait to attack them. Even compared to Bai Yan, those nobles knew better than to leave people from the three families behind, in case they would be raped in the future. revenge.
In other words, their Luo family is finished, completely finished.
"Catch him!" Ju Lu looked at the limp Mr. Luo, ignored Uncle Bai who also had a dull look on his face, and ordered directly to all the Qin officials.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Qin officials hurriedly stepped forward to arrest the gentry children. It was not that those gentry children wanted to escape, but they knew better than anyone else that if only Bai Yan and Guan Fu captured them, they could hide in In the city, they looked for opportunities to escape from Luoyin. However, in the face of many nobles joining forces to defect to Bai Yan, they could not hide from the eyes of other nobles in the city.
Compared to a few days ago, Yan Hui's forehead was covered with sweat. Since coming to Luoyin, Yan Hui has seen with his own eyes that the Luo, Tao, and Fan clans have gone from being full of confidence to being jointly dealt with by many noble clans. The three clans, which were originally untouchable in Yan Hui's eyes, suddenly became All are about to be implicated and punished.
At this moment, Yan Hui recalls the benefits he received from Sanshi in the past few days and is very scared to be so close to Sanshi.
Just now, the brigade has led people to arrest Zhang Guan, the commander of Luoyin City. Not surprisingly, Zhang Guan's crime of helping the nobles and bending the law for personal gain was enough to turn Zhang Guan into a slave for sale by the government.
From a city order to a statusless slave. At this moment, Yan Hui was worried about whether Bai Yan would hate her, and she felt extremely regretful about why she was so fascinated by beauty.
Inside the mansion.
"Tell me quickly, what method did you use to make my father not object to letting me see you!" Tian Feiyan, holding a bamboo slip in front of the wooden table, looked at the young man in front of him with beautiful eyes, showing a threatening look, Of course, paired with her appearance, it makes people feel beautiful and cute.
"Say it!" Tian Feiyan looked at the young man pretending to be mysterious, as if he didn't want to say anything, and his beautiful eyes quietly narrowed again.
When the young man saw this, he quickly smiled and waved.
"Okay, I'll tell you!" Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan and told what happened that day. In fact, for Bai Yan, the reason why he had to beat around the bush and tell Tian Ding what he said was not only to make Tian Ding not object to him seeing Tian Feiyan, but also to prepare for the future when Qin invaded Qi. , laying the groundwork.
Once in Linzi, Qi State, Bai Yan didn't understand how powerful Tian Ding was. But with his higher status now, Bai Yan realized how lucky he was to be able to leave Qi State alive. It can be said that, Back in Qi State, not to mention that Tian Ding had people kill him, he even massacred the entire village. Tian Ding could have this ability.
Time is nothing more than a so-called thief and bandit. So Bai Yan really hopes that when the Qin army comes to Qin in the future, Tian Ding will no longer be stubborn and lead the army to fight.
Bai Yan was afraid that one day he would lead the army to attack Qi. He was even more afraid that among the Qi army, it would be Tian Ding, Tian Cong and Tian Sui who would lead the Qi army to resist.
That was the situation Bai Yan least wanted to see. As for whether he will lead the army to attack Chu or Wei, he dare not say, but to attack Qi, Bai Yan feels that there is at least a general probability that he will, and when Ying Zheng thinks about conquering Qi, he will 100% think of himself.
"Where are you now, old man?" When Tian Feiyan heard Bai Yan mention Mr. Wei, her pretty face pretended to be overly disgusted, and her little face wrinkled.
Bai Yan was not surprised at all when he saw Tian Feiyan's expression. Not to mention Tian Feiyan at that time, it was the first time he met Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei was in tatters, with unkempt hair and a wine bottle. He looked like a bad old man.
"Yan!" Outside the door, Bai Ping hurriedly approached the study. But when he saw Tian Feiyan, Bai Ping was still confused even though it was not his first time.
This was not Bai Ping alone, but everyone else. Among those who saw Tian Feiyan, few could remain indifferent.
Fortunately, he grew up watching Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue. Bai Ping's ability to resist beauty is higher than ordinary people, and he quickly recovered.
Under the watchful eyes of Bai Yan and Tian Feiyan, Bai Ping told Bai Yan what happened outside the mansion. Seeing this, Bai Yan just nodded.
"We no longer need to see those three families again!" Bai Yan said softly, looking at Bai Ping, Bai Yan did not blame Uncle Bai and Bai Ping, did not take his previous words to heart, and frequently made friends with those three families.
"Ah? But, father..." Bai Ping felt a little embarrassed when he heard Bai Yan's unhesitating refusal.
At this time. A cavalry soldier also came to the study.
"General, the Shiju Brigade has ordered people to capture all the people of the three tribes!" The cavalry officers reported to Bai Yan. Since Bai Ping didn't know where Bai Yan was before, he searched for it, and the officers and soldiers Then he went directly to the study to see Bai Yan.
"Ah! Catch, catch..." Bai Ping heard the words of the soldiers beside him and looked at the soldiers with confusion, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"Yesterday, other members of the noble family came to the mansion to jointly report the crimes of the Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family! Today, those three families received the news and came to ask for my help to go to Xianyang to plead for mercy." Bai Yan looked at Bai Ping, Explained softly.
There was still no point in the words, but before and after Bai Ping got married, he heard what happened yesterday, and recalled that he and his father were drinking in a restaurant with people from the three families yesterday, and felt guilty for a moment.
"Brother Ping, please tell me that the three families have been doing evil in Luoyin all year round and have not punished them severely according to the laws of Qin. They have violated the laws of the country and failed the public opinion. The Bai family has ignored the laws of Qin because they cannot remember their old feelings and failed the king's kindness." Bai Yan stood up. , said slowly to Bai Pingji.
This also changed the direction and asked Bai Ping to tell Uncle Bai that Bai Yan didn't take it to heart about what happened before, but he couldn't excuse the three families because of the drinking and having fun some time ago.
"Yes!" Bai Ping naturally heard the implication of Bai Yan's words, nodded quickly, and then left the study.
As for seeing Qi Guozong's daughter Tian Ding with Bai Yan, although Bai Ping was surprised, his father's words in the morning made Bai Ping feel relieved.
His father once said that the most unlikely people in the world are Tian Ding's daughter and Bai Yan. Even if the king gave his beloved daughter to Bai Yan as his wife, Tian Ding would never let his daughter marry Bai Yan. Yan.
"Send this scroll of bamboo slips to the official uniform. In the name of my fiefdom, the official uniform will be issued." Bai Yan watched Bai Ping turn around and leave, then picked up a scroll of bamboo slips on the wooden table and handed it to his cronies. .
"No!" The cavalry soldier reached out to take Bai Yan's bamboo slips, then turned and left. Tian Feiyan sat on his knees in front of the wooden table, watching the cavalry soldiers leaving, and his beautiful eyes quietly looked at the young man standing in front of him.
Thinking of the laws and regulations written by the young man just now in the bamboo slips, Tian Feiyan's eyes were full of water and spirit. She knew how good the bamboo slips would be for the people once they were promulgated.
