Suddenly, a servant ran into the room in a panic outside the main hall, and then knelt on the ground under the gaze of the old man and other middle-aged men.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
The white-haired old man named Mr. Luo frowned slightly.
Mr. Luo still knew this old servant who had been with him for more than 20 years very well. Unless it was an important matter, he would rarely be in such a panic.
"Sir, there is news from the county government that Bai Yan has arrived in Luoyin at some unknown time and has sent maids and retinues to the government to see the dead bodies!"
The old servant was kneeling on the ground. When he looked up, his forehead was already covered with sweat.
It’s no wonder that this old servant is so nervous. In fact, the old servant knows that the person whom the master of the house is trying to stumbling upon is actually Bai Yan, a very prestigious person in the Qin Kingdom today. Moreover, Bai Yan just stopped the assassination attempt for Ying Zheng, regardless of the risk of his life.
If it is discovered now.
I'm afraid the entire Luo family will be in disaster.
"What? Bai Yan has arrived in Luoyin City?"
"What's going on? Why don't we have any news?"
"That's right! Then when did Bai Yan come?"
Hearing what the old servant said, the other men in the lobby who were kneeling behind the wooden tables started to panic, looked at each other, and whispered.
Mr. Luo's pupils shrank and his whole body was shocked. Apparently Mr. Luo was also caught off guard by the news.
Mr. Luo understands.
Bai Yan secretly came to Luoyin and sent maids and subordinates to check the dead bodies. This was obviously a secret investigation into the death case.
"Calm down!!"
Mr. Luo turned his head, looked at the others who were a little confused by Bai Yan's news, and yelled loudly.
Accompanied by Mr. Luo's angry voice.
The men who were talking in the lobby stopped talking one after another. Seeing Mr. Luo's appearance, they quickly calmed down and sat down obediently.
"Since Bai Yan has arrived in Luoyin, everyone will contact Qu and Yong to visit together!"
After Luo Lao sighed deeply, he spoke softly and looked at the men in the main hall.
"Remember, you must prepare generous gifts and treat Bai Yan as the lord of Luoyin City!"
Mr. Luo ordered.
Hearing this, the men behind the wooden tables bowed their hands in front of Mr. Luo and bowed.
"Respect the words of Mr. Luo!"
"We, please obey Mr. Luo's words!!"
Inside Luoyin City.
As the sun set and dusk approached, Bai Yan, wearing a bamboo hat, led Master Xu and Bai Yingxue, and finally returned to Luoyin City.
However, before entering the city gate, many scholars and men were already standing at the city gate watching. When they saw Bai Yan, a dozen men stepped forward to salute Bai Yan.
"Senior, I, Fan, pay my respects to Commander Bai!"
"I, Tao Yan, pay my respects to Commander Bai!"
One by one, the men came to Bai Yan with eager faces. This attitude shocked everyone around him, whether they were Qin officials or pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.
You must know that in the eyes of Qin officials and the people entering and leaving the city gate, these men, without exception, are among the top noblemen in Luoyin City.
When had they ever seen so many noble men bowing their heads to one person and looking so flattering?
And when I heard the word Bai Junwei.
Everyone looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat and a Qin sword, leading two women.
moment.
The Qin officials who originally planned to stop him broke into a cold sweat because they dared to stop him. Other people also stepped aside to make way for Bai Yan.
"Bai Yan went to the Weishui River today to investigate the drowning of the people. He came and went in a hurry, but he forgot to visit our house. Looking back now, Bai Yan was quite rude!"
Bai Yan took off the bamboo hat on his head and handed it to Master Xu beside him. Unexpectedly, Master Xu and Bai Yingxue changed places.
Fortunately, Bai Yingxue also immediately stretched out her delicate hands to catch the bamboo hat.
Only then did Bai Yan use his hands free to return gifts to the dozen or so men. After the ceremony, he looked at the people in front of him with a smile.
With one word and one look, all the nobles who came to the city gate to greet Bai Yan were frightened into cold sweats, especially when they saw Bai Yan's face full of smiles, and his eyes for no apparent reason, making people unaware of their own feelings.
be terrified.
Thinking of the young Bai Yan in front of him, he was killing the enemy step by step with the Qin sword. He relied on his military exploits to get to where he is today. I don't know how many people died in Bai Yan's hands.
For a while.
Among the dozen or so disciples of the noble clan, many had uncontrollable weakness in their legs and feet, just like Qin Wuyang who came to Qin with Jing Ke.
In the past, I could rely on my family's influence to dominate and prosper, but when things really happened, those who were least able to deal with them were often those arrogant and domineering nobles.
"It turns out that those disciples who have been waiting at the city gate are actually General Bai! It turns out that General Bai has already arrived in Luoyin City!"
"Yes, did you hear just now that General Bai said that today he was going to investigate the drowning incident?"
"Hi~! General Bai will investigate in person!!"
Inside the gate of Luoyin City, as more and more people gathered together, those who were still confused at first became loud when they learned that the nobles were waiting for General Bai.
Later, the news that Bai Yan went to the Weishui River to investigate the drowning case today was also spread from person to person and spread to the city.
on the street.
Knowing that the current lord of Luoyin City, Bai Yan, has arrived in Luoyin City, more and more people are curious to come to the city gate to watch the excitement, and the more people there are, the more people they can attract.
As a city with a huge population flow, Luoyin City is indispensable for scholars and merchants who watch the excitement, including some idle gentry children, such as Wu Meng and Pu Ling.
When Wu Meng came to the city gate with Pu Ling, there were already people everywhere watching the excitement.
Fortunately, I came early and was dressed better than the common people, so I dared to push my way to the front.
Both of them planned to find a location quite close to the city gate. After all, they had already admired the famous Bai Yan for a long time. Unfortunately, they heard that Bai Yan did not keep his disciples in captivity, otherwise they might not
He had gone to join Bai Yan's disciples a long time ago to see if Bai Yan would take them in and let them use their talents throughout their lives.
"Don't squeeze!"
A man was pushed, turned his head impatiently, saw Wu Meng and Pu Ling, looked at each other, looked at their clothes calmly, and then suppressed the anger in his heart.
Pretend it didn't happen.
Wu Meng and Pu Ling were not in a hurry to start a fight with the man. After finally squeezing out, the two men raised their heads and looked towards the city gate.
But the next moment.
When the two of them saw the leader entering the city from the city gate and being supported by a dozen or so noble clansmen, whether it was Wu Meng or Pu Ling, their pupils widened and they looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Because what caught their eyes was Shuizi, who was drinking with them yesterday!
