Start with Baihuguan

Li Huan smiled when he heard the words, a gleam flashed in his eyes and said lightly: "I think they will definitely come to see me."

Xu Ying couldn't help showing a bit of disbelief on his face, but he didn't refute Li Huan's intentions. He wanted to see if those people had the courage to come to see them after they heard the news of their arrival.

Especially when he came to meet Li Huan, the murderous god with a reputation for viciousness.

Just looking at Xu Ying's reaction, one can guess what Xu Ying is thinking, while Chen Ang on the side smiled at Xu Ying and said, "Xu Ying, since Master Hou said that those people will come, then they will definitely come."

Xu Ying couldn't help giving Chen Ang a white look.

At this moment, a commotion was suddenly heard in the distance, and many people in the city seemed to be avoiding something.

Seeing this, Chen Ang couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't this coming!"

Xu Ying showed some surprise and disbelief, and also looked in the direction of the movement.

On the long street in the city, a group of people dodged to the sides one after another, and soon a group of people came slowly.

Surrounded by many servants, one after another sedan chairs appeared in sight.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Ying couldn't help muttering: "These people didn't escape, they really dare to come to see you."

Muttering these things in his mouth, he saw that the sedan chairs on top of each other stopped, and then a group of officials came out of the sedan chairs, the leader was none other than Xu Lin, the magistrate of Yangzhou.

After stepping out of the sedan chair, Xu Lin's eyes naturally looked towards the gate of the city. Not only Xu Lin, but also the officials who came with Xu Lin also looked at the gate of the city.

But except for Xu Lin, most of the other officials were a little pale, with a look of panic in their eyes.

If it weren't for the trust in Xu Lin all the time, there would be at least half the number of officials present at the moment.

Even if no one was thinking of running away, they would not dare to come to see Li Huan in person.

When Xu Lin saw Li Huan and his party at the gate of the city, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "Everyone, follow me to welcome the Imperial Envoy."

It was already at this time, and the officials of the Yangzhou Mansion had no choice but to follow Xu Lin to the gate of the city.

However, at this moment, a sound of horseshoes suddenly came from far and near.

Xu Lin, who was walking towards the gate of the city, heard the sound of the horse's hooves and couldn't help but follow the prestige. When he saw it, his eyes narrowed and his brows frowned slightly.

The person who came was dressed as a military general, followed by dozens of soldiers, who was it not Pang Hui, the commander of the guard who he asked Jia Yuan to contact earlier.

Pang Hui came with his own soldiers on horseback. When passing by Xu Lin and his party, his eyes swept over Xu Lin and the others, then stopped at the gate of the city, and immediately got off his horse.

The armor on his body made a rattling sound, and the sturdy Pang Hui strode forward. Under the gaze of Chen Ang, Xu Ying and others, he respectfully bowed down to Li Huan and said, "Your officer, Commander of the Yangzhou Guard, Pang Hui pays his respects to the imperial envoy, and the imperial envoy comes here, but the lower officials are far away from welcoming him, please forgive me."

Li Huan's eyes swept across Pang Hui's body, as if he wanted to see through Pang Hui, and Pang Hui bowed down in front of Li Huan, feeling Li Huan's scrutinizing gaze, and his heart was full of panic , even he could feel the faint cold sweat coming out of his back.

It is because Li Huan's reputation is too fierce, and he also knows why Li Huan came to Yangzhou Mansion this time. It is conceivable that with Li Huan's arrival, Yangzhou Mansion may cause a bloody storm. Yes, at that time, I don't know how many people will be beheaded by Li Huan, and their families will be ransacked.

Others don't know that Pang Hui is one of the top snakes in Yangzhou Prefecture. Although he did not collude with Xu Lin and others, regarding the case of the extermination of the Jinyiwei Thousand Households in Yangzhou Prefecture, with his connections, there is no inside information. Saying that you know everything clearly, you still know more or less.

In Pang Hui's heart, the officials headed by Xu Lin had already been regarded as dead by him, so even if Jia Yuan came to ask him for help, Pang Hui would never refuse Without hesitation, he rejected the temptation from Xu Lin and other officials.

Helping Xu Lin and others deal with Li Huan and his party, Pang Hui asked himself that he was not crazy enough.

Of course, he himself is also not clean. If Li Huan really wanted to investigate him, he would have to shed a layer of skin if he was not dead. But anyway, at least he did not commit the same unforgivable crime of treason as Xu Lin and others. , so he only hoped that this time he was lucky enough to escape.

Pang Hui, who was kneeling in front of Li Huan, had various thoughts flashing through his mind. Just when he was feeling uneasy, Li Huan's voice suddenly sounded.

"So it's Commander Pang, you don't have to be polite, just get up and talk."

Hearing Li Huan's voice, Pang Hui couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and he instinctively kowtowed to Li Huan before slowly getting up.

At this moment, Xu Lin and other officials, who had already approached, naturally saw Pang Hui's submissive and anxious attitude in front of Li Huan.

Some officials showed a bit of disdain, while others showed a bit of envy.

Xu Lin looked away from Pang Hui, stepped forward and bowed to Li Huan and said, "Your Majesty, the prefect of Yangzhou, Xu Lin, together with all the officials from the prefecture, welcome the imperial envoy angel."

Looking at Xu Lin's neither humble nor overbearing, polite appearance, if he didn't know Xu Lin's details, he would think that he was a pillar of the country and a generation of virtuous ministers.

In contrast, the performance of some officials who followed Xu Lin was a bit unbearable, and some officials even fell to the ground with their legs limp, while there were only a few officials who could stand in front of Li Huan.

Li Huan looked at Xu Lin with interest and said slowly, "Master Xu, do you know if you're guilty or not?"

Just when Xu Lin and other Yangzhou government officials went to the city gate to welcome Li Huan and his party, a group of people in the city gathered at some point and also headed towards the city gate.

These people seem to be a group of ordinary people, but if you look closely, you will find that all of them are young and strong, and there are not even any old, young, women and children.

Moreover, many of them have a sloppy posture, no matter how you look at them, they are some street sluts and low-class people.

And such a group of people was densely packed, there were at least hundreds of people, but at this moment they were coming towards the city gate in a mighty manner under the leadership of some people.

At the gate of the city, whether Li Huan and his party stopped at the gate or Pang Hui came with dozens of soldiers on horseback, plus Xu Lin and other officials of Yangzhou Prefecture gathered.

In a short period of time, at least hundreds of people gathered here. Naturally, such a big movement also attracted many people in Yangzhou City to watch.

Jin Yiwei did not expel the surrounding people except for sending some people to maintain the order in the surrounding area and prevent some people watching the excitement from getting too close.

The people in the world are all the same, not only the people in the capital have the psychology of watching the excitement, but the people in Yangzhou Prefecture also have the same curiosity.

Especially through word of mouth, many people learned that the imperial envoy came to Yangzhou City to supervise the case of the extermination of thousands of households in Jinyiwei in Yangzhou Prefecture, which naturally attracted many people.

Originally, the case of Yangzhou Jinyiwei's extermination of thousands of households stirred up the entire Yangzhou government. It can be said that even people with no information are aware of such an earth-shattering case.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei Yamen was established, and it can be said that such a bad thing has never happened.

It is such a bad thing that the Jinyiwei yamen in a dignified place will be destroyed by someone. It spreads all over the world, and the court is in an uproar. All fools know that it would be strange if the court did not strictly investigate such a big case.

There are various rumors about this case.

Now that the imperial envoy is here, it would be strange to say that the people of Yangzhou Prefecture are not interested.

This meant that the news of Li Huan and the others had not spread in a short period of time, but if the time was longer, there might not be thousands of people around, maybe half of the people in Yangzhou City would rush over.

Under the attention of many people around, first Pang Hui arrived, and then Xu Lin and other officials arrived.

If it is said that when Pang Hui prostrated himself in front of Li Huan, the surrounding people were still discussing in private, then when Xu Lin and other officials stepped forward to pay respects to Li Huan, the surrounding people shut their mouths one by one. The number of people talking about it has decreased by more than half.

Many people looked at Xu Lin and other officials with awe.

It is said that the county magistrate who broke the family and the governor who killed the family, Xu Lin, as the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture, can be said to have a high position and authority, even if it is said that he is the uncrowned lord of Yangzhou Prefecture.

In the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture, Xu Lin's name definitely has a very high deterrent effect, which can be seen just by looking at the reactions of Baixin around him.

When Li Huan suddenly opened his mouth to question Xu Lin, there was a sudden silence all around.

If we really want to talk about identities, Li Huan, the imperial envoy, and Xu Lin, the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture, are in the audience. As for Pang Hui, the commander of the Yiwei, his rank is not bad, but he is obviously suppressed by Xu Lin and other civil officials. doesn't have much presence.

When Li Huan questioned Xu Lin in front of so many people, he naturally looked dumbfounded.

Even Xu Lin didn't expect Li Huan to play cards so unreasonably.

He even thought that Li Huan would question him, but that should be after entering the city.

Xu Lin was stunned for so unceremoniously accusing him in front of all the officials and the people around him.

However, to be able to sit on the high position of the lord of a house, and even have a decisive and ruthless mind, Xu Lin is naturally not an ordinary person.

With his character and means, it can be said that as long as there are no accidents, he will inevitably rise step by step in the officialdom in the future, with a high position and weight.

After being dazed for a while, Xu Lin's complexion changed, he took a deep breath, bowed to Li Huan and said: "Why did you say that, my lord, since I have been an official, I have been diligent and conscientious, and I dare not make any mistakes. , I am afraid that I will be injurious to Your Majesty's imperial grace, I really don't know what my lord is asking!"

After a slight pause, Xu Lin said again: "Although your lord is an imperial envoy, if you just smear people's innocence out of thin air like this, even if you die, the subordinate officials will still have to tell the Holy Majesty, please the Holy Majesty to uphold justice for the subordinate officials."

Just seeing Xu Lin cupping his fists and saluting towards the capital with a look of grievance on his face, if he didn't know this, he would really think that Li Huan was framing Xu Lin.

On the other hand, Pang Hui, who was watching this scene, felt his heart skip a beat. He glanced at Li Huan in astonishment, and then hurriedly lowered his head, feeling terrified and grateful at the same time.

Just look at Li Huan's accusation against Xu Lin as soon as he came up. If Li Huan didn't have Xu Lin's criminal evidence, he wouldn't believe it.

The most important thing is that Li Huan's determination to show his cards without delay is what really shocked and frightened Pang Hui.

The expressions of the few Yangzhou government officials standing behind Xu Lin who hadn't knelt down also changed drastically, and they almost fell to their knees in fright.

However, after hearing Xu Lin's self-defense, these officials who were already tied to the same rope with Xu Lin, who were both prosperous and damaged, all said to Li Huan one by one: "The magistrate is a clean and honest official, and everyone in the Yangzhou government doesn't know who People don't know, the people in the city regard the magistrate as their parents, the imperial envoy must not listen to the villain's slander."

These officials kept talking about how clean and honest Xu Lin was, how much he was loved by the people, and they almost didn't directly invite a group of people to prove it.

Standing beside Li Huan, Xu Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xu Ying knew that people like Xu Lin had sent people to attack their group not long ago. People who were able to do such a rebellious thing turned out to be loyal ministers of the imperial court and Qingtian parents loved by the people in the eyes of these officials. It made Xu Ying feel so funny.

"Funny, this is funny, Uncle Ben is very curious, how can you say these words, or do you not feel guilty when you say these words!"

As soon as Xu Ying said this, Chen Ke, Ma Ming, Chen Ang and others couldn't help laughing.

It was the hypocrisy of these officials that opened their eyes, and they really saw what it means to be brazen and what it means to open your eyes and tell lies.

Xu Lin glanced at Xu Ying and the others, his face remained unchanged, he still had the same aggrieved look and said: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it, I have a clear conscience..."

"Ah bah, what a clear conscience, come and see, who am I, and who is this person..."

While speaking, I heard a person laughing angrily and directly pulling a figure to appear in the sight of Xu Lin and others.

This person is none other than Lin Pingzhi, who was hunted down by the Yangzhou government and nearly lost his life, and Xu Wei, who was captured alive by the Yangzhou government.

Whether it is Lin Pingzhi or Xu Wei, the appearance of the two figures in front of the officials of Yangzhou Mansion can be said to directly change the complexion of everyone, with horror and disbelief in their eyes.
