Qin Gong

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, none of the people sent to investigate last night have returned!"

In the early morning of the next day, Mr. Luo was in the mansion, lying on his back on a woman's lap, and asked the other two women to rub their heads and shoulders. After getting old, his body was not as good as it was before.

He drank alcohol last night and it was late at night, and he just came back to the house. Not only did he have a headache, but his back was also covered with sour vinegar.

However, it hasn't been long for Lao Luo to enjoy it.

The servant's words immediately made Mr. Luo tremble, and he got up quickly, ignoring the maid's rubbing hand.

"What did you say?"

Mr. Luo's fat old face, which was full of blessings, was no longer as calm as usual at this moment, and he panicked as before.

If he heard Bai Yan's words last night, Luo Lao felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

Then the disappearance of the subordinate who went to check the news at this moment made Lao Luo vaguely aware that things were far from as simple as they imagined.

"Father!"

"Father!!"

At this time, there were two middle-aged men outside the door, also appearing in panic, and after entering the study, they hurriedly came to Lao Luo.

"Father, something happened. None of the people from Fan's and Tao's came back last night."

Luo Li bowed his hands to salute his father, his face was pale at the moment, and his eyes were extremely flustered.

And under the gazes of Luo Li and Luo Yi brothers, Luo Lao's absent-minded pupils suddenly trembled, and he slowly raised his head.

"Not good! That Bai Yan yesterday deliberately let you know that he has been outside the city!"

Old Luo said.

After the same cause and effect, Mr. Luo had come to his senses. It was only then that he realized that Bai Yan sent a maid to the government to check the corpse yesterday, and he deliberately revealed the news to them. People go out of town.

After all, in the city, as long as those people hide and have officials as internal support, Bai Yan can't find them at all.

"not good!!"

Luo Lao stood up suddenly, his face became even paler. As an old clan in Luoyin City, Luo Lao felt the danger of extermination for the first time after becoming the head of the family.

"What does father mean to say that all of us have been captured by Bai Yan?"

Brothers Luo Li and Luo Yi heard their father's words, their faces changed drastically, and they looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

"Father, what should we do now?"

"Yes, father, if it's really Bai Yan who caught us, it won't take long, in case those people can't keep their mouths shut"

Luo Li and Luo Yi looked at Lao Luo one after another, and their voices were full of worries about the future.

Although those subordinates are all subordinates of the clan, they can be trusted, but who knows if someone will be the first to be unable to withstand the torture after a long time.

"Both of you go to Fan's and Tao's immediately!"

Hearing what his two sons said, Luo Lao gasped, and finally his eyes became firm, and he pointed at the two sons.

"Let Fan and Tao tell the other gentry that when Bai Yan was handling the looting and selling in Yanmen, all the gentry were killed by Bai Yan, implicated in the extermination of countless families! If you don't want to die in Luoyin, all the news will be spread. Let’s just say that as soon as Bai Yan arrived in the city yesterday, dozens of people disappeared again!”

Old Luo exhorted sharply.

"Ah? Father, after all this, if Bai Yan imprisoned him in the official uniform, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Luo Yi looked at his father full of puzzlement, not understanding why at such a critical time, he spent so much experience doing something futile.

As the eldest son, Luo Li didn't ask, but he didn't leave but looked at Zhongdi and his father's eyes and knew that he was also very puzzled.

"You two, hey!"

When Mr. Luo heard this son's question, his words were full of hatred for iron and steel, and he even wanted to stomp his feet.

"Those subordinates are missing. No one knows where Bai Yan will take them and how to deal with them. If they are tortured, those people won't last long. What we want right now is, no matter what, we must let Bai Yan take them away. When we go to the government, there are our people in the government, whether it is the rumor or the news of those people, we can clearly know that if Bai Yan is tortured in the government, we can spread rumors, saying that Bai Yan is trying to solve the case and frame others .”

After Lao Luo finished speaking, he looked directly at the two sons in front of him.

Lao Luo taught these two second sons since he was a child, but it was just a trivial matter, and now, he just took this opportunity to tell the two sons what kind of method they are the most powerful in Luoyin.

"Understood, father!"

When Luo Li heard his father's words, his eyes lit up, and the fear on his face just now dissipated, and he nodded respectfully to his father.

Luo Yi reacted slowly, but he quickly understood what his father meant.

"Yes! As long as people come to Luoyin City, we have enough ways to make those people grit their teeth and make a big fuss in Xianyang! Even Bai Yan may not be able to bear the rumors, no If there is no evidence, he can only be released!"

Luo Yi looked happy and looked at his father with admiration, and then saw his brother leave, and quickly turned around to follow behind.

Inside the study.

Watching the two sons leave, Mr. Luo also closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yan, Bai Yan!
You are indeed stronger than the average person. At your age, I have never seen such a resourceful person. You are No.1.

However, Luoyin is the foundation of our gentry after all.

You Bai Yan, you can't control it!
Now if you dare not send people to the government, those people will all be missing in the future.

And the old man will never let you investigate this matter so easily.

"Come here, prepare the carriage, and visit the city order!"

Luo Lao took a deep breath, opened his eyes, his eyes were full of calmness, as if he had seen Bai Yan's end.

Right now, he still needs to go to the city order Zhang Guan and ask Zhang Guan to do one thing.

In Luoyin city.

In Bai Yan's mansion, he knelt behind the wooden table and stretched.

Bai Junzhu came up with a wooden plate and a bowl of chicken soup. Although Luoyin City was near the Weishui River, there was no shortage of fish, but because many people drowned recently, it was better not to eat fish recently.

Ordinary people eat three meals a day, which are basically vegetarian dishes, either boiled beans or corn.

As for chicken, the common people seldom eat it, and even the vast majority of people may not have the opportunity to eat it in their entire lives.

After all, in addition to paying taxes, it is good to have enough food and clothing for a year's harvest. If you can save some money, it will be used for clothing and daily necessities. Things like salt are expensive expenses.

And a chicken can be exchanged for more than three or four hundred catties of corn!
This is the price that the people are unlikely to be willing to pay for a meal of food.

As for the wild animals, they are lucky and can be obtained, but there are also taboos, because usually the places with a lot of prey have been turned into hunting grounds. If the people unintentionally catch them, they often violate the laws of Qin, and they will face severe punishment later.

Now there are two hunting grounds under Bai Yan's name.

However, they are all near Pingyang and Yongcheng. When Bai Yan became the second general of the Bai clan, those Ying clan relatives gave it to Bai Yan, and Bai Yan never visited the hunting grounds under Bai's subordinates.

"General, this is the list of those caught last night!"

A man in commoner clothes hurriedly came to the study room, then came to Bai Yan to compose the ceremony, and handed over the bamboo slips in his hand to Bai Yan.

"Okay, let the soldiers take turns to rest. After an hour, I will ask those people."

Bai Yan nodded.

Opening the bamboo slips in his hand, seeing the names of the people arrested last night written on it, he breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, those gentry did not surprise him. After learning about his investigation, they would definitely have a stable and uneasy mentality.

"promise!"

The confidant bowed to Bai Yanji, then turned and retreated.

"Did you deliberately let those people know that you came to Luoyin that day?"

Bai Junzhu knelt beside Bai Yan, looked at the name on the bamboo slip in Bai Yan's hand, and looked at Bai Yan with amazed eyes.

At this moment, Bai Junzhu recalled Ruo Ri's scenes, and the appearance of those gentry who did not leave last night, and then looked at the bamboo slips in Bai Yan's hands before him. He didn't know the cause and effect, and he was really amazed by Bai Yan's talent in his heart.

"Luoyin City is the foundation of those gentry. I just learned about Luoyin. If you want to have a chance of winning the game with them, you have to wait and see what happens and let them show their feet. Only in this way can you have a chance of winning."

Bai Yan laughed lightly.

"It's the same with leading troops in battle, and it's also the same with conspiracy and conspiracy!"

Bai Yan looked at Bai Junzhu, seeing Bai Junzhu's real appearance, couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.

Things went smoother than he had imagined. The ghost he saw somewhere on the mountainside was confirmed to be done by an acquaintance in the village. This will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble, and it will also save a lot of steps for the review and questioning later.

"I'll let Ms. Xu change your medicine later!"

Bai Junzhu looked at the young man beside him, his beautiful eyes sparkled, but when he saw the young man's shoulders sluggish while drinking chicken soup, he knew that the young man's injury was still hurting.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan nodded.

A while later, after eating and drinking well, Bai Yan, with the help of Master Xu, put herbs on the wound on his shoulder, put on his official uniform, and brought the Juebian, ready to examine those people.

But what Bai Yan didn't expect was that before he left, he saw Bai Ping running in a hurry.

"Yan, it's not good, now the city is talking about you everywhere!"

Panting heavily, Bai Ping came to Bai Yan and told Bai Yan the news that was spreading in the city at this time.

In the study, Bai Yan frowned when he heard Bai Ping's words.

"Those people want to make Luoyin mess up."

Bai Yan sighed.

Bai Junzhu and Master Xu, knowing that the city is full of rumors and gossips about Bai Yan, couldn't help looking at Bai Yan with some worry.

"Yan, did you really catch those people?"

Originally, Bai Ping was only here to inform Bai Yan of the news, but when he saw Bai Yan and looked at the bamboo slips on the wooden table, he was stunned, and Bai Ping was stunned.

Just now, Bai Ping thought it was the people in the city, and guessed without authorization. After all, the missing person had nothing to do with Bai Yan. In addition, last night, Bai Yan and him had been drinking in the mansion, so how could they arrest him.

But right now.

Bai Ping looked at the scroll of bamboo slips, but found out.

It seems that those people were really caught by Bai Yan!
Inside the study.

Seeing Bai Ping's appearance, Bai Yan nodded.

"I caught it!"

Bai Yan looked thoughtful, then looked outside the study.

Now it has been determined that the stumbling blocks are those gentry in the city, and the methods of those gentry are somewhat beyond expectations.

In Luoyin city.

"Look! Why are those people arrested?"

"Those people are the ones who have been rumored to disappear for some unknown reason. I heard that they were not missing, but were arrested by Captain Bai."

"Ah? Why did the county lieutenant arrest them?"

"I heard that the people who drowned before were not drowned, but killed!"

On the street, seeing a famous man holding a sharp sword and the men escorted by the Qin officials, the people who came and went stepped aside one after another, and then began to discuss in private.

Soon, as more and more people gathered on both sides of the street, among the people, there were many men who looked at each other, turned their heads and walked away in silence.

After a while.

In Luoyin City, a large prison dedicated to guarding criminals.

Accompanied by Zhang Guan, the magistrate of Luoyin City, his cronies and Qin officials, Bai Yan soon saw the arrested men.

"My lord, I am wronged! My lord!"

"Adults still want to be the masters for us!!!"

A dozen or so men were held in the prison cell. When they saw Cheng Ling Zhang Guan, they rushed forward and cried for injustice.

However, when Zhang Guan saw these people in front of him, he didn't dare to control them.

"Does Cheng Ling know these people?"

Bai Yan turned his head to look at Zhang Guan meaningfully.

"I don't know, Zhang Guan and these people don't know each other!"

Zhang Guan quickly waved his hand and said, facing Bai Yan's question, how could Zhang Guan dare to admit it.

Being able to achieve the position of Chengling, Zhang Guan has already been extremely round in his conduct, he will not offend people easily, and there will be room for everything.

But following Zhang Guan's voice, it fell.

It's embarrassing.

It is clear that Yan Yan is asking about Zhang Guan, but those men who complained of injustice just now have all quieted down. They seem to be more afraid of Bai Yan's "misunderstanding" than Zhang Guan.

see.

Bai Yan couldn't help looking at Zhang Guan again.

And Zhang Guan's forehead was already covered with sweat, he lowered his head humblely, and the Adam's apple on his neck kept moving up and down.

After a few breaths.

Bai Yan just looked away, and when Zhang Guan saw this, he dared to take a big breath, only then did Zhang Guan realize that his back was already covered with sweat.

"I just asked the officials of Qin. I heard that Zhang Chengling has written to Xianyang? Ask the neighboring county government to send officials to investigate."

Bai Yan turned his head and looked around the cell, and asked softly.

Zhang Guan just breathed a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard Bai Yan's question, he became nervous again, his eyes were so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Bai Yan, he quickly lowered his head.

"Report to General Bai that there is indeed such a thing! This matter is of great importance. Zhang Guan heard that General Bai was injured, so General Bai was exhausted, so he wrote to Xianyang and asked Xianyang officials to come to Luoyin to investigate!"

Zhang Guan explained carefully.

As for his excuse, Zhang Guan felt that it was perfect. Besides fulfilling Lao Luo's entrustment, he could also leave an impression of 'caring' on Bai Yan.

inside the cell.

When the arrested men heard Zhang Guan's words, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at each other calmly.

They are not ordinary people, so it is natural to know that following Zhang Chengling's letter to Xianyang, the letter will be delivered to the palace and handed over to the king, and then the king will find an opportunity to discuss who to send to Luoyin in the hall, and then the king will send the letter to Luoyin. decision.

After completing these tasks, the clerical officials of the Xianyang Palace will sign the order, and then an official will convey the order to lead the county, and the neighboring county will send an official to Luoyin after the official has done the business at hand. There is still time to investigate.

Before and after, it will take at least another month, or even longer.

thought here.

The civilian men who were detained in the cell knew it all.

As long as they persist, officials from Xianyang will investigate them at that time. As long as there is no evidence, the gentry they follow will let them go out safely.

"Zhang Cheng Ling has a heart, but what Zhang Cheng Ling said is of great importance! What is it referring to?"

Bai Yan suddenly turned his head, looking curiously at Zhang Guan.

Facing Bai Yan's eyes, Zhang Guan's forehead was covered with sweat in an instant, but luckily he remembered Luo Lao's words

"General Bai, it's about the murder. The butcher's slaughter of his neighbor's family was a matter of great importance. However, because the people in the village spoke against the butcher, even the man with household registration who killed the whole family denied it, so Zhang Guan I felt something strange, so I wrote to Xianyang! I also asked the general to capture so many murderers, as the city commander of Luoyin, it was inevitable to avoid suspicion, so I wrote to Xianyang together!"

When Zhang Guan said this, he almost said it bravely, and even his hands and feet were trembling when he spoke.

However, Zhang Guan had to do it even if he had to bite the bullet to accept the benefits of Luo Lao.

Zhang Guan swore in his heart that he would not offend Bai Yan again in the future after helping Luo Lao deal with this matter. No matter what, even if he gave his wife and daughter to Bai Yan, he would let Bai Yan calm down slowly.

"Anything else?"

Bai Yan was a little curious when he heard what Zhang Guan said.

Regarding the matter of Zhang Guan's letter to Xianyang, Bai Yan is not a fool, and he doesn't know why, but besides lamenting the old fox who is behind the scenes, there is no other way to do it.

Bai Yan knew that those gentry were planning to make things big, not only to delay the time, but also to get the gentry forces he had offended because of the plunder and sale to join in.

"Take me to see that person!"

Bai Yan looked at the man in the cell in front of him, and was not in a hurry to torture him.

Since those gentry forces want to make trouble, Bai Yan naturally doesn't mind. Bai Yan also hopes that the bigger the trouble, the better. Only in this way, those forces who want to save these gentry will not dare to act rashly.

As for Zhang Guan, the city magistrate of Luoyin in front of him, Bai Yan could already see that this was a person who was entrusted with connections to become the magistrate of the city, and he had no intentions.

Perhaps it is also the case that Zhang Guan has always been supported by the Luoyin gentry.

The Luoyin Rebellion is over, and the next chapter is Tian Ding's appearance!
