Chapter 409: Three families fell, and an edict was issued.
"General~!"
"General, you are wronged!!"
Outside the general's residence, dozens of men, women, and children, ranging from white-haired old men holding sticks to women holding babies, were all kneeling on the street outside the residence, crying and shouting.
The Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family, all the clansmen of these three families, had previously been arrogant and domineering in Luoyin City, treating Luoyin City as their territory, and had made many bold statements. However, at this moment, they all came to the gate of the general's residence.
Come forward and kneel on the ground.
His sad cries even alerted all the servants in the mansion.
"General, General, can I meet you?"
Elder Luo held a staff and saw a famous cavalry soldier holding a Qin sword guarding the gate of the mansion. He stepped forward tremblingly and knelt on the ground.
At this moment, Mr. Luo, who is much older and has white hair, is no longer as calm and calm as before. The fear and despair in his eyes are clearly visible to the naked eye.
Perhaps at this moment, Mr. Luo already regretted that he had taken advantage of the entire family for the benefit of Luo Yin.
"The general has an order, no guests will be seen today!"
Kou Zhuang held the Qin sword in one hand and glanced at the nobles in front of him, with no hidden warning.
Behind Kou Zhuang, in addition to the dozen or so cavalry soldiers who had their hands on the hilts of their swords, there were more than a dozen cavalry soldiers who had already cocked Qin crossbows.
"Hopefully."
When Mr. Luo heard the words of the cavalry general in front of him, his eyes almost darkened. Fortunately, when he saw Uncle Bai walking out of the mansion, Mr. Luo immediately put down his previous dignity.
"My nephew!"
Mr. Luo knelt and looked at Uncle Bai. After saying hello, he kowtowed to Mr. Bai with such force that Uncle Bai could clearly see the traces of blood on Mr. Luo's forehead when he raised his head.
"Why is Mr. Luo like this?"
When Uncle Bai saw this, he looked confused, but he quickly stepped forward and helped Mr. Luo up.
At this moment, Uncle Bai looked at everything in front of him, and his slightly stunned mouth showed that he was not calm in his heart.
How is this going?
Bai Ping, who was following behind Uncle Bai, was also looking at this scene with a puzzled look. What was going on? The old man in front of him and the old man behind him, weren't Mr. Luo and Mr. Tao? Alas, that person was not Fan from the Fan family.
First? Why are you all here kneeling down?
"My nephew, please let me meet the general in person!"
Mr. Luo looked at Uncle Bai who was supporting him, with tears streaming down his face. His words were full of pleading, no, they could even be considered begging.
Uncle Bai had never seen such a scene before. He swallowed his saliva and nodded. Although he didn't know what happened, since Mr. Luo wanted to see Bai Yan, it was not difficult.
However, Uncle Bai was also very puzzled as to why the cavalry soldiers beside him did not let Mr. Luo and others in.
Think of this.
Uncle Bai turned to look at the cavalry general beside him. He also knew this general. He was one of Bai Yan's trusted generals, Kou Zhuang.
"General Kou, I wonder if my nephew can explain why he didn't see Mr. Luo and others?"
Uncle Bai raised his hand and said politely to Kou Zhuang.
Kou Zhuang looked at Uncle Bai, clasped the Qin sword around his waist, and bowed his hands to Uncle Bai in return.
"General's order, no visitors today!"
Kou Zhuang didn't explain much.
Seeing this, Uncle Bai bowed to Kou Zhuang and thanked him, then thought about it and looked at his eldest son Bai Ping beside him.
"Ping'er, go talk to Yan'er! As it is now, it's not the same thing after all. It's better to meet him!"
Uncle Bai ordered.
Bai Ping nodded quickly after hearing his father's instructions, then turned and walked towards the mansion.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Luo and Mr. Tao breathed a sigh of relief, while the crying of dozens of men, women, and children slowly stopped at this moment.
The streets around the General's Mansion were already crowded with countless Luoyin people. Whether they were merchants passing by, shopkeepers, or even merchants and ordinary people, they were all crowded around, looking at this scene in shock.
None of them could believe their eyes at this moment. They looked at the Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family, all of whom were kneeling outside the door of the general's mansion. This scene shocked them beyond description.
"what's up?"
"I don't know, what happened? Why are Luo, Fan, and Tao here?"
"what is going on?"
In the bustling crowd, there was an endless stream of words talking to each other. There were more and more voices, and the voices became louder and louder.
Looking at the children of the Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family that they saw on the street in the past and did not dare to offend, they were all kneeling on the ground with fearful faces at the moment. This scene was undoubtedly frightening to everyone, and at the same time, they could not bear it.
I can't help but ignite the excitement of watching the excitement.
Among the many men, women, and children, the older women became bolder when they saw more people, and they directly pointed at their children and talked to each other.
At this time.
"Get out of the way! The government is handling the case, get out of the way quickly!!"
Suddenly, many voices came from behind, which shocked the people. When they heard the official uniform, no one reacted, but as the crowd made way, a passage opened.
Under the gaze of all the people, many Qin officials went directly to the gate of the government and surrounded all the three clan members who were kneeling on the ground.
This scene not only surprised the people, but even Uncle Bai in front of the General's Mansion was shocked.
Seeing the nobles who were kneeling on the ground turned pale with fright, Uncle Bai quickly looked at Ju Lu and Yan Hui who were walking behind the officials.
After a few breaths.
When Uncle Bai saw Ju Lu and Yan Hui approaching, he quickly held up his hands and made a ceremony.
"Two adults, what is happening?"
After Uncle Bai finished the ceremony, he couldn't help but ask.
The entire army bowed their hands to Uncle Bai in return.
"You don't know?"
At this moment, when the whole army heard what Uncle Bai said, they were even more confused than Uncle Bai. How come Uncle Bai didn't know what was going on at the moment? It was clear that Uncle Bai was a member of the Bai clan, and he was the uncle of General Zuo Geng.
Ju Lu glanced at Mr. Luo and Mr. Tao, whose faces were pale.
"I"
Uncle Bai was also confused, but after noticing Mr. Luo's expression, Uncle Bai looked at the group, and while thinking, he suddenly remembered that he had been going to restaurants with people from the three Tao families in the past few days.
It's possible that something happened during this period and Bai Yan didn't tell him.
Think of this.
Uncle Bai suddenly felt panicked, and his breathing could not help but become rapid.
Uncle Bai clearly felt that Bai Yan was dissatisfied with his behavior, so he deliberately did not tell him.
"In Luoyin City, dozens of people from more than ten families reported the Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family. It has been investigated clearly that the person who drowned more than a month ago was also related to these three families. Among them, the case of household destruction was even more serious.
Fan Kan of the Fan family did this with his three retinues."
Ju Lu looked from Mr. Luo to Uncle Bai, cupped his hands and explained.
As Ju Lu said one thing after another, Uncle Bai stared in shock, looking at Ju Lu in disbelief.
The people who were watching not far away, and some who were closer and vaguely heard the conversation, suddenly started making noises.
With the noise.
Luo Lao's vision had already gone dark, he retreated tremblingly and fell to the ground, paralyzed in despair.
Mr. Luo understands.
Even if they received the news quickly enough, those nobles could not wait to attack them. Even compared to Bai Yan, those nobles knew better than to leave people from the three families behind, in case they would be raped in the future.
revenge.
In other words, their Luo family is finished, completely finished.
"Catch him!"
Ju Lu looked at the limp Mr. Luo, ignored Uncle Bai who also had a dull look on his face, and gave orders directly to all the Qin officials.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Qin officials hurriedly stepped forward to arrest the gentry children. It was true that those gentry children wanted to escape, but they knew better than anyone else that if only Bai Yan and the government caught them, they could hide in the city.
, looking for opportunities to escape from Luoyin, but in the face of many nobles joining forces to defect to Bai Yan, they could not hide from the eyes of other nobles in the city.
Compared to a few days ago, Yan Hui's forehead was covered with sweat.
Since coming to Luoyin, Yan Hui has seen with his own eyes that the three clans of Luo, Tao and Fan went from being full of confidence to being jointly dealt with by many noble clans. The three clans that were originally untouchable in Yan Hui's eyes suddenly became...
All of them are about to be implicated and punished.
At this moment, Yan Hui recalls the benefits he received from the San family in the past few days and is very scared to be so close to the San family.
Just now, the brigade has led some people to arrest Zhang Guan, the commander of Luoyin City.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Guan's crime of helping the nobles and bending the law for personal gain was enough to turn Zhang Guan into a slave for sale by the government.
From a city order to a statusless slave.
At this moment, Yan Hui was worried about whether Bai Yan would hate her, and she also felt extremely regretful about why she was so fascinated by beauty.
Inside the mansion.
"Tell me, what method did you use to make my father not object to me seeing you?"
In front of the wooden table, Tian Feiyan was holding a bamboo slip. Her beautiful eyes looked at the young man in front of her with a threatening look. Of course, coupled with her appearance, she made people feel beautiful and cute.
"Say it!"
Tian Feiyan looked at the young man pretending to be mysterious, as if he didn't want to say anything, and his beautiful eyes quietly narrowed again.
When the young man saw this, he quickly smiled and waved his hands.
"Okay, I'll say it!"
Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan and told what happened that day.
In fact, for Bai Yan, the reason why he had to beat around the bush and tell Tian Ding what he said was not only to make Tian Ding not object to him seeing Tian Feiyan, but also to prepare for the future when Qin invaded Qi.
, laying the groundwork.
Once in Linzi, Qi State, Bai Yan didn't understand how powerful Tian Ding was. But with his higher status now, Bai Yan realized how lucky he was to be able to leave Qi State alive. It can be said that,
Back in Qi State, not to mention that Tian Ding had people kill him, he even massacred the entire village. Tian Ding could have this ability.
What happened afterwards was nothing more than a thief and bandit thing.
So Bai Yan really hopes that when the Qin army comes to Qin in the future, Tian Ding will no longer insist on leading the army to fight.
Bai Yan was afraid that one day he would lead the army to attack Qi. He was even more afraid that among the Qi army, it would be Tian Ding, Tian Cong and Tian Sui who would lead the Qi army to resist.
That was the situation Bai Yan least wanted to see.
As for whether he would lead the troops to attack Chu and Wei, he couldn't say, but to attack Qi, Bai Yan felt that there was at least half a chance that he would be, and when Ying Zheng was thinking about conquering Qi, he would 100% think of himself.
"Where are you now, old man?"
When Tian Feiyan heard Bai Yan mention Mr. Wei, Qingcheng's pretty face pretended to be overly disgusted, and her little face wrinkled.
Bai Yan was not surprised at all when he saw Tian Feiyan's expression.
Not to mention Tian Feiyan at that time, it was the first time he met Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei was dressed in tatters, unkempt, and carrying a wine bottle. He looked like a bad old man.
"Yan!"
Outside the door, Bai Ping hurriedly approached the study. But when he first saw Tian Feiyan, Bai Ping was still confused even though it was not his first time.
This was not Bai Ping alone, but everyone else. Among those who saw Tian Feiyan, few could remain indifferent.
Fortunately, having grown up watching Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue, Bai Ping's ability to resist beauty is higher than that of ordinary people, and he recovered quickly.
Under the watchful eyes of Bai Yan and Tian Feiyan, Bai Ping told Bai Yan what happened outside the mansion.
Seeing this, Bai Yan just nodded.
"Those three families, we no longer need to see each other again!"
Bai Yan said softly, looking at Bai Ping, Bai Yan did not blame Uncle Bai and Bai Ping, did not take his previous words to heart, and frequently made friends with those three families.
"Ah? But, father"
When Bai Ping heard Bai Yan's unhesitating refusal, he felt a little embarrassed in his words.
At this time.
A cavalry soldier also came to the study.
"General, Shi Shi Ju Brigade has ordered people to arrest all the people from those three tribes!"
The cavalry soldiers reported to Bai Yan. Since Bai Ping didn't know where Bai Yan was before, he searched for it. The soldiers went directly to the study to see Bai Yan.
"Ah! Catch, catch"
When Bai Ping heard the words of the soldiers beside him, he looked at the soldiers with confusion, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"Yesterday, other members of the noble family came to the mansion to jointly report the crimes of the Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family! Today, those three families received the news and came to ask for my help to go to Xianyang to plead for mercy."
Bai Yan looked at Bai Ping and explained softly.
There was still no point in the words, but before and after Bai Ping got married, he heard what happened yesterday, and recalled that he and his father were drinking in a restaurant with people from the three families yesterday, and felt guilty for a moment.
"Brother Ping, please tell me that the three families have been doing evil in Luoyin all year round and have not punished them severely according to the laws of Qin. They have violated the laws of the country and failed the public opinion. The Bai family has failed to respect the laws of Qin because they cannot remember their old feelings, and they have failed the king's favor."
Bai Yan stood up, saluted Bai Ping, and said slowly.
This also changed the direction and asked Bai Ping to tell Uncle Bai that Bai Yan didn't take it to heart about what happened before, but he couldn't excuse the three families because of the drinking and having fun some time ago.
"Um!"
Bai Ping naturally heard the implication of Bai Yan's words, quickly nodded and left the study.
As for seeing the daughter of Tian Ding, a relative of the Qi clan, with Bai Yan, Bai Ping was surprised, but his father's words in the morning made him feel relieved.
His father once said that the most unlikely people in the world are Tian Ding's daughter and Bai Yan. Even if the king gave his beloved daughter to Bai Yan as his wife, Tian Ding would never let his daughter marry Bai Yan.
Yan.
"Send this scroll of bamboo slips to the government together and order the government to publish it in the name of my fiefdom."
Bai Yan watched Bai Ping turn around and leave, then picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the wooden table and handed it to his cronies.
"promise!"
The cavalry officer reached out to take Bai Yan's bamboo slips, then turned and left.
Tian Feiyan sat on his knees in front of the wooden table, watching the cavalry soldiers leaving, and his beautiful eyes quietly looked at the young man standing in front of him.
Thinking of the laws and regulations written by the young man just now in the bamboo slips, Tian Feiyan's eyes were full of water and spirit. She knew how good the bamboo slips would be for the people once they were promulgated.
There are two more chapters scheduled for evening!
Thank you for the monthly pass and recommendation vote, thank you.
