Qin Gong

Chapter 288 Investigating Clues, Old Man Wei's Regret (4K)

Yanmen is good and has no city.

As the capital of Yanmen's prefecture, there are many gentry and merchants in Shanwu City. Just like Gaonu City in the past, most of these merchants traded with the Huns in the north.

"Old Wei, you really don't want to rest?"

At this moment in the Yanmen Mansion, Bai Yan was dressed in commoner clothes, looking at Old Wei suspiciously.

At this age, I just came from Gaonu, and the journey was bumpy, and now I go out with myself without rest, so don't wear out my bones.

"Boy, don't worry! I can live for more than ten years with this old bone."

When Old Wei heard Bai Yan's words, a slight smile appeared on his wrinkled white bearded face.

see.

Bai Yan didn't say anything, but turned to look at Master Xu.

"It's inconvenient for you to go along with me during this trip. You can rest in the mansion. If you need it, please send me a letter!"

Bai Yan instructed Master Xu.

Previously, he was worried about Elder Wei's health, so he asked Master Xu to wait for Elder Wei to come over at his mansion in Yanhe City.

This time he went out to investigate, Master Xu is a woman, it's better to stay in the mansion, so as to avoid that suffering.

"promise!"

Master Xu heard Bai Yan's words, looked at the young man in front of him, and saluted slowly.

Watching the boy turn and leave, Master Xu hurriedly followed behind and accompanied him out of the mansion.

outside the mansion.

Bai Yan took a few disguised soldiers, as well as Wei Lao, and led the horse, and walked towards the outside of the city.

along the way.

Bai Yan and Wei Lao walked side by side.

Old Wei was the same as before, braving the scorching sun, holding a jug, taking a small sip from time to time.

At first, Bai Yan was still talking with Wei Lao, but when he got to the back, after walking for half a day, seeing the people and scenes along the way, he didn't want to pay attention to other things.

Elder Wei didn't blame Bai Yan, but silently followed.

In a village along the way.

Bai Yan stopped slowly.

The village is not to mention ten rooms and nine empty, but it is also sparsely populated. It can be seen that many of the simple wooden houses have not been lived in for a long time.

Leading the horse, Bai Yan came to a wooden house and saw a skinny old man.

When the old man saw Bai Yan and his party, he saw that Bai Yan was wearing a sword and was leading a horse. His eyes were a little frightened on his scrawny face.

"Old man, where are the people in the village?"

Bai Yan handed over the horse to his confidant, came to the old man, knelt down and asked.

talking room.

Bai Yan took out a dozen or so coins from his bosom, and then, under the eyes of Elder Wei and his cronies, he grabbed the old man's hand with one hand and put the money into the old man's hand with the other.

When the skinny old man saw Qian, his frightened eyes showed excitement.

"grown ups!"

The old man raised his head to look at the young boy in front of him, his voice was hoarse, it was obvious that he had just appeared due to extreme weakness.

"My lord, are you asking about the girls in the village? If your lord wants to buy a girl, you should come a step too late. Now the girls in the village are either stolen or robbed. There are not many people left!"

The old man looked at Bai Yan.

Thinking that Bai Yan also wanted to buy some women, he said softly, then thought of something, and looked at Bai Yan.

"However, I heard that the male of the family behind Yishan was seriously ill two days ago, and he probably won't last long. I saw a few people staring at him this morning. If my lord goes early, I think I can make it in time!"

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the people behind Bai Yan. Obviously, the old man was already numb to these things.

"Yi Shan?"

Bai Yan heard the old man's words, and then looked in the direction of the old man's finger.

Bai Yan then asked some questions about the male, and got up slowly after getting the answer from the old man.

"go!"

Bai Yan said softly, and then took the lead in walking towards Yishan.

Behind Bai Yan, while Old Wei followed, he glanced at the skinny old man from the corner of his eye, and then looked at the back of the young man walking in front.

"Tian Jin! You have really taken in a good disciple. If you have a soul in the sky, you can rest in peace!"

Old Wei sighed.

Thinking back to my friend Tian Jin, the doctor of the Qi State, Wei Lao, who had never envied his friend for decades, this time, he envied his friend.

I think of the old Tian Jin, who is upright and upright, enjoys a high reputation in the court, among the people, and even among the schools of thought, and is known as a benefactor.

Because of this, he offended the villain in the court of Qi State, was imprisoned, and his whole family was punished.

Fortunately posthumously.

No one in the world knows that he has a lover.

Thinking of what the young man said to himself in the Shanwu mansion: It is better to go out and see with your own eyes, hear the sufferings of the people, and walk through Yanmen mountains and rivers after reading thousands of bamboo slips in Shanwu mansion. I, Bai Yan, know that in Yanmen, some people can’t eat , there are people singing and singing every night, some officials harm the common people, and some officials have nothing to do. Yanmen needs someone to stand up and sweep the dust in the house. Although Bai Yan is not a sage, he is willing to pick up the broom.

"At such an age, to have such a heart"

Where did Tian Jin find such a disciple?
I thought of hearing that the kid in front of me wrote to Xianyang to get the king of Qin to agree to send food and disaster relief in Yanhe!

Thinking of the boy in front, after he broke the Jingxing, he wrote to Xianyang, so that tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi's soldiers can stay in Yanmen, build aqueducts that the capital of Zhao has never built, and save Zhao women who are not rescued by Zhao people, and gather in Li Mudu. Zhao Guo's 'family' who didn't do it!
Now they are not sitting in Shanwu's mansion in Rouxiang, compensated by good wine, but good meat is not good, and they come out to blaze on the road under the scorching sun, just to see the people of Yanmen clearly.

This one thing!

Wei Lao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He never envied Tian Jin in his life, but when it came to accepting apprentices, he was envious of Tian Jin in his old age.

Mo about two hours later.

Along the path deep in the mountain, Mr. Wei and his party passed by a courtyard. Before entering, they saw four men standing in the courtyard.

How can there be so many males in a dilapidated small garden? This is obviously not normal. In addition to the words of the old man outside the mountain before, Wei Lao and others know that these four people should be the ones who came to "loot and sell".

really.

When those four people saw Bai Yan and his party, they all showed vigilance. After all, Bai Yan and his party were not only crowded, but they all wore swords.

The four of them don't know the origin of Bai Yan and his party right now.

"Who are you waiting for? Why are you here?"

Among the four, the leading man stepped forward, and then looked at the young Bai Yan.

Bai Yan smiled.

"What are you waiting for? Why am I too!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he raised his hand as a signal.

Afterwards, the cronies behind Bai Yan made gestures to surround the people in front of them, preparing to beat them up.

Seeing this, the four of them panicked.

"How dare you? Behind me is the history of Ling Cheng!"

The man in the lead knew that the people in front of him were also doing the same job as himself. The man thought about it for a while, and in order to avoid conflicts with the group in front of him, he reported his background and the master behind him.

Speaking of which, the man couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Now that there are fewer people, there are more and more conflicts to be faced in this line of work.

"History of the city order?"

Bai Yan frowned slightly, and then said with doubts, "You say yes, do you have a token?"

Bai Yan asked.

Although it was a question, at this time Bai Yan also signaled the others not to use force.

Seeing that his threat had worked, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can follow me to Yicheng! You will know when the time comes."

said the man.

At this time, the man didn't want to delay any longer, and exchanged glances with the other three men. The three men nodded, then turned around and walked towards the house.

Under Bai Yan's gaze.

Accompanied by three men entering the room, a woman's exclamation came after a while.

After a while, I saw a man forcibly dragging a twelve or thirteen-year-old woman out of the house. The woman refused, but was beaten by another man, even hitting her forehead with a wooden stick. bleed.

the other side.

It seemed that a seriously ill man was punched and kicked by another man, and soon fell to the ground. Another white-haired old man tried to stop him, but was also kicked to the side.

Seeing this scene, Elder Wei beside Bai Yan couldn't help frowning.

"What family are you from?"

The man turned his head and said to Bai Yan.

Looking at Elder Wei beside Bai Yan, in the man's eyes, this must be the old servant of that family, who just came to look for him.

"Chen's!"

Old man Wei didn't want to answer the man's words at first, but feeling Bai Yan's gaze, old man Wei still endured the disgust in his heart and named out a clan.

"Ms. Chen? Ms. Chen's hand is really long enough!"

The man frowned slightly when he heard old man Wei's words.

"I want to report to the Patriarch, I want to go with you!"

Bai Yan watched the woman being brought out by three men, looked at the man in front of him, and said softly.

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied, and then nodded.

"Let me go! Please let me go!!"

"Please, let me go!"

In the small garden.

The woman who was being dragged looked at the people in front of her beggingly, tears streaming down her eyes, and the clothes on her body were torn due to the oldness.

With the blood flowing from her forehead, the woman was full of despair, and she kept looking at her brother and her elderly grandmother behind her.

Bai Yan stood aside, watching the woman being dragged away.

Then he looked at the dying man, who was about 20 years old and climbed out of the wooden house. Seeing him as a young man with a strong physique, Bai Yan wondered that the four people before him were afraid, and they didn't dare to rob him until he was sick.

"Let's go!"

Bai Yan glanced at the man, met the unwilling eyes of the man, turned his head and said.

Old Wei and other Bai Yan's cronies followed behind Bai Yan and left together.

Two hours later.

Returning to the official road again, Bai Yan followed four men to the official road, where there were two other men waiting beside a wooden trailer.

The two men were puzzled when they saw the four accomplices were still following Bai Yan and his party.

Under the command of the leading man, the two men still stretched out their hands to remove the haystack on the wooden trailer.

Then three women who were also tied up appeared in front of Bai Yan and his party.

Looking at the three women who were still tied up in the haystack under the scorching sun, looking miserable and dying, Bai Yan glanced at the men in front of him calmly.

In the state of Qin, although there is business, only the wives and daughters of "sinners" can be sold, and it is only legal if the government testifies.

In any other way, harming or prostitution of civilian women, regardless of who snatches people, profiteers, or buyers, will all be punished, and those who know the truth will sit together.

"These are things that make history, let's go!"

The man tied up the woman who had been beaten to the brink of death, threw her into the carriage, and asked his men to cover the haystack, then turned to look at Bai Yan and his party.

The young boy just now looked at them with obviously unkind eyes.

The man guessed that these people must have not caught a single item, but there were already four of them, and he was upset.

thought here.

The man felt complacent, around the city, even if the dignitaries from other places came, they had to weigh their abilities and see whose territory it was.

Although what he said is Lingshi.

But the man vaguely knew that there were even bigger adults behind him.

埒城!

When Bai Yan and his party came to the city, the sky had already turned yellow. If it wasn't for the scorching heat, the sky would have already been dark.

At the city gate where people come and go, Bai Yan and old man Wei saw that after several men greeted the Qin soldiers guarding the city gate, all the Qin soldiers didn't even check the carriages, and let them enter the city directly.

"Did you see it? You still have to follow me!"

After entering the city.

The man turned his head and looked at Bai Yan and old man Wei beside Bai Yan.

Maybe it's because he arrived at Yicheng, his own territory, the tone of the man's speech became obviously stiffer.

Bai Yan looked at the man, but didn't speak.

Bai Yan naturally understood what the man wanted to express, and his actions and identity just now, if he continued to follow, if he really wanted Shi to stand up, it would be a complete shame.

Don't toast and don't eat fine wine!

"go!"

The man glanced at Bai Yan, then smiled, snorted coldly, turned his head and said.

Accompanied by the man's words.

The wooden trailer moved again, Bai Yan watched this scene, and didn't continue to lead people to follow until the wooden trailer had gone a long way.

"Look at the city gate for the past few days, be careful not to be discovered!"

Bai Yan ordered to his cronies.

When the confidantes heard Bai Yan's words, they all nodded.

"Boy, if you want to supervise this trip to the end, I'm afraid you will offend countless people!"

Old man Wei was at the side, and he frowned when he heard Bai Yan's order, and after knowing Bai Yan's purpose, he couldn't help persuading him.

Even Old Man Wei couldn't help being a little worried. Bai Yan's appetite was too big, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

Just now Bai Yan didn't care about it all the time, obviously he wanted to catch it to the end.

But now the more he came to Yicheng, the more he didn't care.

It is obvious to follow the clues and find out all of them.

But anyone with a discerning eye will know that if all of them are found out, it is definitely not just an official of Yancheng who is involved behind the scenes. At that time, Bai Yan may offend a group of people.

I don't know how many gentry and officials in Yanmen County will be involved!

There may even be some Qin generals.

"If he is afraid of offending these people, how dare Bai Yan lead his troops to destroy Han and enter Zhao! How dare he face the world!"

When Bai Yan heard Wei Lao's words, he smiled: "If you dare to destroy the country, why should Bai Yan be afraid of the rest!"

Hearing Bai Yan's answer, Old Wei couldn't help showing a smile on his old face.

"You kid is already qualified to say that!"

Old man Wei nodded.

This is also a rare place where old man Wei admits Bai Yan. Zhao Guo is not destroyed now, but old man Wei who has been in contact with Yingzheng and knows Yingzheng knows it well.

Among the advantages and disadvantages of Yingzheng, there is one advantage that stands out, and that is knowing people and making good use of them.

Looking at the incidents of Bai Yan before, old man Wei can clearly feel how much Ying Zheng loves Bai Yan.

And with Ying Zheng's backing.

With this boy Bai Yan's ability, there is no need to worry too much about other things.

In the city.

Hearing what old man Wei said, Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the other side of the sky, the east side where it started to darken.

"Besides, Bai Yan promised someone that if she comes again in the future, I will show her the beauty of Yanmen!"

Bai Yan murmured in his heart.

Old man Wei turned his head and glanced at Bai Yan.

When following Bai Yan's gaze to the east, he found that Bai Yan seemed to be thinking of something.

East! !
Soon, old man Wei remembered that he had heard that a few days ago, a doctor named Tian Cong from Qi State brought his sister to Yanmen Shanwu to visit Bai Yan.

How could old man Wei, who spent most of his life in Qi country, not know who Tian Cong was!

Before Bai Yan left Qi, old man Wei asked Bai Yan to take that jade pendant to the Lu family to ask for a horse, so old man Wei was one of the few who knew where Bai Yan had a jade pendant from!
thought here.

Old man Wei also roughly guessed what Bai Yan was thinking, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Then the old man Wei couldn't help but regretted that he hadn't arrived in Shanwu at that time, otherwise Tian Cong would see him, even though Tian Cong was already a doctor of Qi State, but he would ask Bai Yan to propose a marriage, Tian Cong Cong didn't dare to refute a word in person, so he could only go back and tell Tian Ding obediently.

Pity!Just wait until next time to see if there is a chance.

Old man Wei shook his head.

this day.With the sunset!

Bai Yan, Wei Lao and the others stayed in Yicheng.

　Stern and selfless, severely punished for breaking the law, loved the people like children, rescued droughts, controlled the Yellow River, and cleared unjust prisons.

　　I have seen too many ministers who ruled the country in later generations and were unparalleled in the country, similar to Qian Qian, Fan Zhongyan and other historical sages.

　　Born in troubled times, a man should be like this! !

　　Wenzhiwugong, now it's time for Wenzhi.

　　The next time Tian Cong and Tian Feiyan come to Yanmen again, it will be very exciting! !
