Pan Wok's life was still pinched in the hands of others at this time, what could he say, but he glared at Pan Yang dissatisfiedly: "Don't let me go!" ”

"Let them go." Panyang ordered, "Put down your weapons." ”

The wolf soldiers who took refuge in Panyang looked at each other, hesitated again and again but put down their weapons, although Han Lin had already sworn a poisonous oath, they were still afraid of being liquidated.

"Yilong, Panyang and they will be handed over to you," Han Lin looked at Pan Wok, "Lord Xuanwei, don't you want to invite me in?" What are you doing in a daze, I'll go inside and talk to you. ”

Pan Wok glanced at Pan Yang unwillingly, and said to Han Lin, "Lord Han, please." ”

At this time, there was the sound of a large number of people gathering in the distance, and it was Pan Wok's men who finally arrived, but they were blocked by Han Lin's guard battalion. There were many wolf soldiers on the periphery, and the first person was a cronie of Pan Wok, who didn't know what was going on inside, and didn't dare to attack the guard camp, so he tried his best to shout inside: "My lord, it's okay, I'll swear to protect the lord well!" ”

Pan Wok heard the words and felt a burst of excitement in his heart: most people are still loyal to their envoys! However, he secretly observed Han Lin, and saw that the latter was still indifferent, and his excitement disappeared in an instant, anyway, Lao Tzu was not going to rebel in the first place. Pan Wok called a guard beside him and asked him to give orders to the many wolf soldiers outside. Although the latter's position is not high, he has been with Pan Wok for many years, and the people under Pan Wok basically know him, and his words can be said to be the meaning of Pan Wok.

In the Pan Mansion, Han Lin looked at Pan Wok and said with a smile: "Master Pan, I helped you so much this time, how are you going to reward me?"

Pan Wok's face twitched, his eyes rolled, and he said tentatively: "Not long ago, there was a ...... in the mansion by a wealthy merchant in the north."

"Ahem!" Han Lin's expression was cold, and he stared at the wok-pan and said, "I don't care if you used to collect money everywhere, but in the future... I'm not a sentimental person, in my opinion, you can just take half of the original one, and then control other people's hands, this is not too much to ask, right?"

"Not too much, not too much, the lower officials must keep it in mind." Pan Wok replied again and again.

"By the way, Ling Lang Panqian is already a weak champion year, how about serving the country and letting him go to Guangzhou to achieve a career?"

"This ......" clenched his fists in his wok-sleeves, sighed slightly in his heart, and said to Han Lin: "Then the lower official will thank Commander Han for cultivating the dog." ”

An hour later, Han Lin left Panfu, and then Panqian and Panyang were taken to Guangzhou by the soldiers of the Guards Battalion, Han Lin and Yilong did not stay anymore, leaving a letter for Panwu to send someone to Zhao Yuan in Gongcheng, and then went out of the city to join Chen Jian.

After Han Lin and the others left, Pan Wok called a few of his subordinates, and after thinking twice, he announced his decision to them: "From now on, in Pingle Mansion, it is not allowed to arbitrarily collect property from the people under any name, do you hear clearly?"

These people usually take a lot of benefits, and they are so rich that they don't understand why Pan Wok suddenly made such a decision, and one of them asked puzzledly: "Master, what are you?"

Pan Wok glanced at him coldly: "Violators, bear the consequences!" ”

A few people were excited, knowing that the woks were not joking, there was no emotion to talk about, and there were no ideas, so they expressed their attitudes and resolutely implemented them.

Chen Jian outside the city still didn't know anything about the situation in Pingle City, and before Panyang and he agreed that the inside should be outside, open the city gate tonight and let Chen Jian's men and horses enter the city, take the panwok with lightning speed, and then control Pingle City.

Han Lin and Yilong saw Jian Chen, who listened to Han Lin's account of what happened in Pingle City, and immediately became angry, shouting that he would lead someone to destroy the Pan family, Han Lin looked at Jian Chen, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The latter was originally a domestic slave of a general in the battalion army, with a bit of skill, but it is not particularly outstanding, but the important thing is to use it smoothly, absolutely loyal, and the family stays in Guangzhou!

"Alright, gather the troops and go back to Guilin." Han Lin patted Chen Jian on the shoulder, "Tell me about the specific situation in Guilin on the way." ”

The larger prefectures and counties of Guilin Prefecture include Yangshuo, Yongfu, Lingui, Lingchuan, Xing'an, Quanzhou, etc., and the three envoys are concentrated in Fucheng, and there are many ethnic minorities such as Yao, Miao, and Zhuang in the territory, but basically they are all Liuguan in power.

However, since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the crisis of the imperial court has deepened, and there is not enough strength and energy to manage the remote areas, saying that it is a rogue official, due to the lack of transfer in the long-term office, the situation is more serious after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, and a new hereditary clan has been formed, and the local Tusi colluded to control all aspects of Guilin Mansion very firmly, and Chen Jian's mixed brigade has been stationed in Guilin since it has been subjected to a lot of difficulties.

"Commander, there is Yangshuo in front, the landscape of Guilin is the most beautiful here, if you are not in a hurry, you can have a good tour along the Li River." Chen Jian came to the riverside and said to Han Lin.

Han Lin nodded: "Okay, you go back with the team first, and Yilong and I will go up the river on our own to see the customs of Guilin." ”

Han Lin and the others entered Yangshuo, it was already noon, so they found an inn.

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper stepped forward and asked, "Look at the two of you, you shouldn't be locals, I don't know if you have ever tasted our local rice noodles?" ”

Han Lin sat down and said with a smile: "I'm busy on the road, I haven't tasted it yet, I heard that this Guilin rice powder is full of flavor and fragrance, and it is a great delicacy, but the quality of a bowl of rice noodles depends largely on the brine, I don't know if the two of us are lucky to taste authentic rice noodles for the first time." ”

"Guest officer, you can rest assured, although our store is small, but lettuce powder, three fresh noodles, original soup powder, braised vegetable powder, hot and sour noodles, Danzi rice noodles and so on are readily available, and absolutely authentic, to ensure that you will feel uncomfortable if you don't eat for a day after eating...... "The shopkeeper boasted that his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he was gushing endlessly.

"Okay," Yilong stopped the shopkeeper, "if it's really like you said, why don't there be any customers in this store?"

"Well, of course, there is a reason," the shopkeeper laughed dryly, "There are several shops on one street, there is no way." ”

"Let's have two bowls of braised vegetable noodles, let the two of us taste them first."

"Okay, the two guest officers will wait a while, and they will come right away." The shopkeeper arrived, and then walked into the back hall.

After a while, two bowls of braised vegetable noodles were served, and Han Lin and the others looked at it, and the yellowed rice noodles were lying in the bowl, and there was a little brown and yellow unevenly on it, and there was nothing else.

Yilong frowned: "Xiao Er, this is the authentic rice noodles you are talking about, could it be that you can't fool us?" ”

"How dare the little one fool the two distinguished guests, this rice noodle is absolutely authentic, the two of you will understand it if you taste it first." The shopkeeper sneered, for fear of annoying Yilong.

Han Lin and Yilong picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, only to feel that the mouth was tasteless, dry and astringent, Yilong was anxious, and directly slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, stared at the shopkeeper and said angrily: "You are deceiving the two of us from other places, and there is no root and no foundation here, and this kind of thing dares to be served to fool us!" ”

"Hehe," the shopkeeper also put away his professional smirk at this time, and snorted coldly, "That's how rice noodles are, two, do you still eat them?" If you don't eat, you can pay directly. ”

"How much?" Han Lin naturally understood that this store was completely a black shop, and if he dared to do this in broad daylight, maybe there would be some big backstage, and he didn't want to entangle more on other people's turf, so he wanted to give money and leave.

"A bowl of braised vegetable powder is ten taels, and two bowls are twenty taels." The shopkeeper reported lightly, and at the same time, the two men at the next table surrounded them, it turned out that these two people with tigers and bears on their backs were from the store, and they used force to suppress customers.

"A bowl of braised vegetable noodles is ten taels, and the cost is only a few pennies at most, even if there are not a few customers a day, you can make a lot of money, you are really good at trading!" Han Lin has always hated this kind of people, and he has rectified a lot of them in Guangdong, and he is very clear about them, so he continued to ask: "But like you, it stands to reason that I am afraid that it will not be long before no one patronizes, and you can still continue to drive." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Han Lin with pity, and said disdainfully: "What's the matter with telling you, I don't know how many people come and go in this Yangshuo every day, unless you don't eat or drink, you have to come according to our price, and it's the same when you leave this store!" ”

"Yilong, give money." Han Lin knew that the industry in Yangshuo was monopolized, and it was unknown whether the government was doing evil by itself, or whether the government was in cahoots with some forces, so he could only suffer this loss for the time being.

Yilong reluctantly took out the silver taels and threw them to the shopkeeper, the two of them came out with a stomach full of resentment, and randomly found a roadside stall, which was run by an old man.

The old man saw that Han Lin and the two of them had ugly faces, and wanted to go out, so he hurriedly stopped the two of them and whispered: "Two sons, it will only be more expensive elsewhere, little old man, I sell it for six cents a piece, which is already cheaper in the city, every time I sell one, about four or five cents of it has to be handed over to the official master, in order to support the family, I have no choice but to raise the price." ”

Han Lin didn't doubt that he had him, and this was probably the case in the whole Yangshuo, so he paid for a few steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.

"Young master, I really don't understand, how can they run a business, if this is in Guangdong, all of them will have to go bankrupt." Yilong asked.

Han Lin nibbled on the steamed bun in his mouth and replied: "The food here should have been hoarded by some guys, the food on the market is in a state of shortage, coupled with heavy taxes, the price is ridiculously high, from Yangshuo to Guilin Fucheng, there are sparse people along the way, basically there is no store in front of the village, and outsiders will be slaughtered severely."

Did you notice the reaction of the people around us when we entered that black shop earlier? ”

"Are you saying that the locals watched us being slaughtered and didn't dare to speak, and even led us into the black shop, and when we entered, we were basically doomed." Yilong gritted his teeth, "I'm so angry, I want to take someone to arrest Nazhi County now!" ”
