Wu Meng and Pu Ling, who looked dull, were completely stunned on the spot.
However, a shouting sound suddenly came from behind, causing the two of them to wake up. Seeing a group of retinues driving a carriage, they quickly gave way.
Looking at the retinues passing by in front of them, Wu Meng and Pu Ling still looked distracted at this moment.
But what surprised the two of them was that before they could come to their senses or figure out why Shuizi was talking to those nobles, they saw a guard coming in front of them.
"But Mr. Wu, Mr. Pu?"
When the man came to Wu Meng, Pu Ling bowed his hands in greetings and asked softly.
Wu Meng and Pu Ling nodded instinctively.
"The lieutenant invites you two to come over!"
After the man finished speaking, he nodded to the two of them, then turned around and led the way.
Wu Meng and Pu Ling looked at each other. At this moment, they both looked confused. Commander?
However, seeing that the guard was already walking towards the city gate, the two of them did not dare to stay and hurriedly followed behind him.
After a while.
When the two came to the city gate, they got closer to Shuizi.
When they saw the appearance of the two women next to Shuizi, the younger of them, they both took a deep breath and marveled in their hearts, what a beautiful woman.
But the next moment.
When he saw the guard who was leading the way, he walked up to Shuizi and bowed his hands in a ceremony.
"General, they have been brought here!"
The man reported and then stepped aside.
The actions and words of the subordinates caught the eyes of Wu Meng and Pu Ling. At this moment, the two of them were already stunned, with their mouths open, standing there stupidly, looking motionless at the man who was drinking together last night.
juvenile.
Lieutenant!!!!
At this moment, Wu Meng and Pu Ling's minds were already blank, and the only thought in their hearts was.
The young man who drank with them last night was actually the Bai Yan they had been talking about and wanted to see!
Qin Zuogeng, Bai Yan!
"Brother Wu, Brother Pu, you concealed something yesterday, which was really helpless. Please don't blame me!"
Bai Yan's voice came.
Wu Meng and Pu Ling came to their senses when they saw Bai Yan finishing the ceremony. However, they found that Bai Yan had already completed the ceremony. They thought smart and quickly returned the gift without any hesitation.
"Why do you say that? It's really a blessing for us to have a banquet with you!"
"Yes Yes!!"
Wu Meng was the first to explain. Pu Ling, who had been frightened and confused, didn't know anything at the moment and only knew how to follow.
After Bai Yan's ceremony.
He glanced at the pedestrians all around, then looked at the gentry disciples, and explained to Master Xu.
"Yesterday I met Brother Wu and Brother Pu. We talked all night long, but it was so late that we met! So we didn't go back to our house!"
Bai Yan had a slight smile on his face as he spoke.
He looked at the noble disciples calmly and saw that Master Xu had asked them to go to the government office. Bai Yan naturally knew what his actions meant.
However, it was beyond Bai Yan's expectation that so many nobles came to greet him, and that they could finally know his attire and take the initiative to recognize him through inquiring about information in the city.
This incident alone exposed how huge the power of the gentry in Luoyin City was, and privately, they all had suspicions about it.
"Brother Wu, Brother Pu, it's getting late today and I still have important things to do. How about we meet again someday?"
Bai Yan turned his head and said politely to Wu Meng and Pu Ling, agreeing to meet again in the future.
After the nobles knew that he had come to Luoyin, they made a fuss and let the people in the city know about it. Not only did they use the help of the nobles to appease the people in the city, why not accept this provocation.
He had previously asked Master Xu to go to the government, but now he not only told all the people that he, Bai Yan, had already investigated the drowning case, but also happened to see Wu Meng and Pu Ling, and took the opportunity to tell these nobles that he, Bai Yan, had arrived in Luo yesterday.
Yin, and even drank with Wu Meng, Pu Ling and others all night.
If the nobles of Luoyin City still don't know where they have been, they should really jump into the Weishui River.
"Of course, of course! Wu Meng, you are waiting for the county captain!"
"Puling is waiting for you, the county captain, waiting for you!!"
When Wu Meng heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan in shock, and then saluted Bai Yan with a happy face.
Pu Ling was no exception. When he heard that Bai Yan would invite him to have a drink together in the future, Pu Ling was ecstatic. His branch of the Pu family had long since declined. He wanted connections but no connections, and he wanted resources and status but no resources.
.
For Pu Ling, Bai Yan's act of extending an olive branch now, how could he not be excited, how could he not be grateful to Bai Yan and burst into tears.
Seeing those noble disciples who had never looked at him seriously in the past, they all looked at him curiously now, with kindness on their faces that had never appeared before.
As a Luoyin native, Pu Ling felt his blood boiling at this moment. He wanted to swear loudly that he would repay Bai Yan's kindness until his death.
Under the city gate.
Bai Yan nodded and smiled at Wu Meng and Pu Ling, and then saw that the carriage had turned around. After bowing to the noble disciples, he said he would be waiting in the mansion, and then led Master Xu and Bai Yingxue to the carriage.
After a while.
As the carriage moves and the wheels turn, it enters Luoyin City.
Wu Meng and Pu Ling stood there, looking at the back of the carriage gradually leaving, but they still didn't come back to their senses for a long time, their eyes full of gratitude.
"Brother Wu!"
"Puling, why are you here today?"
Words came from behind. Wu Meng and Pu Ling looked at the nobles who looked down on them in the past, and stepped forward to salute them one after another. The two of them quickly returned the gift.
No matter what, despite Bai Yancai's words.
But the two of them are not fools. They both know that unless Bai Yan really talks about cultivating them and taking them with him, they have no right to offend the nobles in front of them.
Inside Luoyin City.
As the sky turns dark, the mansion where Bai Yan lives in the city is now full of bustle.
All the prominent nobles in Luoyin City came to visit Bai Yan at Bai Yan's house, bringing huge sums of money and gifts. There were countless nobles who sent beauties to Bai Yan. There were even some who brought their concubines with them to show them to Bai Yan.
, it seems that as long as Bai Yan wants it, he will give it to Bai Yan without hesitation.
The enthusiasm of the nobles exceeded Bai Ping's imagination, and they kept drinking until late at night.
There are tens of thousands of people in Luoyin City, and among them there are no less than a hundred distinguished nobles, and there are more than ten powerful ones.
The same is true. In the main hall, those who can sit at the front are without exception the heads of various clans, and the positions behind these old men are people from other noble clans.
Because they were all powerful people, there was no excessive eating and drinking during the banquet, but there was a lot of chatting, and all kinds of flattery towards Bai Yan came one after another.
Bai Yan responded to this with a smile. He seemed to be smiling and enjoying it very much.
It is said that sugar-coated bullets can corrode a person's nature, but this is only for the vast majority of people. For Bai Yan, the methods of these nobles, like those of the nobles in the Zhao land, have little effect.
In terms of money, Bai Yan now has his salary and food. In terms of beauty, not to mention the Bai sisters in front of him, the Bao family in Yanmen, and even Zhao Qiu, none of them are famous beauties.
But these.
From beginning to end, Bai Yan never crossed the line.
Therefore, in terms of money and beauty, Bai Yan is like an overly pedantic Confucian scholar, so stubborn that people cannot understand.
However, it is also like this. Not only does the Bao family regard Bai Yan as the person they trust the most and entrust themselves to Bai Yan, but even Zhao Qiu, the subjugated princess of the Zhao Kingdom who does not like Bai Yan, is willing to follow Bai Yan and live in Bai Yan.
Yan's mansion.
With Zhao Qiu's identity, experience and situation, if he didn't trust him, would he really be so honest and peaceful?
After moving into Bai Yan's residence, neither Mr. Wei, nor Master Xu, nor anyone else mentioned Zhao Qiu's transgression to Bai Yan.
"Rumors are spreading all over the city now. We heard those Confucian scholars talking about the rumors and criticizing the Lord Commander. We are really filled with righteous indignation and anger in our hearts!"
After drinking until late at night, a seemingly drunk man said to Bai Yan with a red face.
While he was talking, he stood up, held a bartender, and looked at the other people in the main hall with gesticulating gestures.
"yes!"
"I have also heard that the talk in the city is exaggerated!"
Following the drunken man's voice, except for the ten old men kneeling in the front row, the middle-aged men nodded to each other, then looked at Bai Yan and bowed their hands in ceremony.
"We will support the county captain and severely punish those who talk nonsense in the city, otherwise the rumors will really damage the dignity of the county captain!"
“We also highly recommend it!!”
After talking for a while, all the middle-aged men looked filled with indignation. They were all complaining about Bai Yan and wanted to stand up for Bai Yan.
At the moment, it seems that as long as Bai Yan gives orders, they will all obey Bai Yan tomorrow.
Bai Ping, as a member of the Bai clan, is a member of Bai Yan's tribe in the eyes of outsiders. At this moment, he was kneeling on the side table next to Bai Yan. When Bai Ping saw this scene, his blood boiled in his chest, and he turned to look at
Bai Yan.
It seems that with such momentum and support from so many people, as long as Bai Yan is willing, no one will dare to secretly say a word about Bai Yan after tomorrow.
"Haha, no~!"
Bai Yan was sitting on his knees behind the wooden table. Although he had drank wine all night and looked a little too drunk to open his eyes, he waved his hands.
"No~!"
Bai Yan took the wine cup and said, looking at everyone with hazy eyes, looking at the old white-haired old men with smiles all over them.
"Bai Yanruo can't tolerate a few bad words, isn't he just a rat's belly and a chicken's intestines?"
After Bai Yan drank all the wine in the wine cup, he sighed, looked at the wine cup in his hand, and shook his head.
A few words.
The originally lively atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became much quieter. Many middle-aged men in silk clothes couldn't help but look at each other seriously after hearing Bai Yan's words. There were even some people with expressions on their faces.
A change.
As for the old men who were kneeling in front and complimented Bai Yan a lot tonight, after hearing Bai Yan's words, the smiles on their cheeks disappeared instantly, and they instinctively looked at Bai Yan.
Everyone understands the truth, but as we are all descendants of the gentry, we all know how difficult it is to be tolerant when someone is really being slandered.
There are very few people who can do it.
Needless to say, they have all experienced youth and know the character of Bai Yan at his age.
Think of this.
Among the dozen or so old men, Mr. Luo looked unnaturally at each other with several of them, his eyes becoming more serious than ever before.
However, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved once again when they thought of the seamless arrangement that had no place to start.
No matter how good Bai Yan is, he is still young and a general who relies on Qin Jian.
Faced with their methods, it would be useless for anyone else, let alone a young general like Bai Yan. They had no choice but to bow their heads. Even if they asked, they would not panic.
You rely on the sword of Qin, and I rely on my words. Bai Yan has no evidence and dare not really kill them.
Just like the Yanmen robbery and selling incident, Bai Yan killed only officials with evidence, and many officials and generals in other places were spared.
In the main hall.
Mr. Luo, who gradually felt at ease, looked calmly at a middle-aged man sitting at the wooden table in the back row opposite.
The man nodded to Mr. Luo, indicating that it was dark now, and he already knew where Bai Yan had been today, and had sent people to comfort and threaten those people under the cover of night.
Inside the mansion.
Bai Yingxue told her eldest sister what happened today. She said that when she went to the old woman's house, her eyes were red. She also said that the blind old woman stood in the small garden for a long time after they left.
And the villagers, men, women and children, learned that Bai Yan was the official who came to investigate, and they all watched them leave with expectant eyes.
Chat room.
Unknowingly, it was already late at night. Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue watched how long the time passed, but the banquet still lingered on.
"I'll go take a look. He's too drunk! He can easily be taken advantage of!"
Bai Junzhu finally couldn't help the worry in his heart, stood up and said.
Bai Yingxue nodded, knowing that her uncle would arrive tomorrow, and the bad guys were probably in the mansion right now. There must be no mistakes at this time.
Think of this.
Bai Yingxue also left the room with her eldest sister.
When Master Xu saw this, he did not stop the two women. Others were not sure, but Master Xu knew very well how drunk the general was.
A thousand cups without getting drunk is the general!
Behind the main hall.
Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue stood behind the screen, worried that Bai Yan was always behind them, listening to the conversation of the nobles.
Hearing that the nobles behind wanted Bai Yan to give an order and strictly prohibit it tomorrow, they couldn't help but frown slightly. Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue didn't know whether it was good or bad. After all, if discussion was prohibited, they would indeed be able to control the situation at the moment.
They are all women and don't know much about this aspect.
However, just when Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue were worried, they soon heard what Bai Yan said later.
The Luoyin Rebellion is related to Tian Ding, and also involves the unification of the world in the future.
