"Old man?"

Xue Tan asked tentatively, and the room was quiet, without a sound.

"Old gentleman?" Xue Tan frowned, called again, and entered the inner room, only to find that the old gentleman was grinding medicinal herbs at this time.

"Who do you think I am, old man?"

Xue Tan took a closer look, and the old gentleman had a thick layer of blood scabs on his ears, and the red blood scabs hung cruelly on the edge of his ears.

Could it be said?

Xue Tan tentatively touched the doctor, and he reacted, slowly turned his head, and looked at Xue Tan.

Xue ...... General Xue? ”

The old man's voice trembled slightly, with a mournful sob, "General Xue, you are here, I haven't forgotten what you told the old man." ”

The old man's voice was a little hoarse and subtle, presumably because he couldn't hear the movement.

"Your ears, old sir?"

Xue Tan gritted his teeth, and after listening to the words of the passer-by, Xue Tan probably guessed a thing or two.

"I ...... Inaudible. ”

The old man pointed to his ear and shook his head.

"Chang Lei, go get some pen and paper."

Xue Tan said, and told Chang Lei to turn around and go to the counter in the lobby to get some pen and ink.

Chang Lei nodded, the ink in this pharmacy had dried up, Chang Lei studied ink for the two of them, so that they could communicate conveniently.

Xue Tan wrote word by word, and the old gentleman responded after reading it.

"My ears are from those people, and I am not deaf, but they are getting worse and worse."

The old man sighed, "Miss Qin is still resting in the back room, during which many people want to come forward to buy her body and use it to form a yin soul, but I have rejected it. ”

"You're saying that someone wants to do this, and you don't agree to have this result?"

Xue Tan couldn't believe his ears.

It is said that people's hearts are sinister, but Xue Tan never thought that it would reach this level!

"Didn't you report to the police?"

If you do such a thing that is unconscionable, the government should intervene no matter what it says.

But the old gentleman just shook his head.

"The new prefect, every day I only know that I am in the Haichun Courtyard, and I don't know anything about the world at all, I have been there many times, but I have died without a problem."

"Where's your little apprentice, where is he now?"

If Xue Tan is not mistaken, the old gentleman had an apprentice by his side before.

"I drove him away, and it didn't make sense to stay here, guarding a scrap like me, and besides, I was alone

One, how could he be here to delay my time? ”

Xue Tan's heart was also in pain, and he held the old man's hand tightly.

I can't imagine that things are wrong and wrong, and as soon as I left, so many things happened.

"Old man."

Xue Tan wrote with a pen, "If you are willing, another day, I will ask someone to send you back to the capital, I have a mansion in the capital, naturally someone will take care of you, besides, it can be regarded as to repay your kindness." ”

Seeing this, the old man only shook his head.

"General Xue, this Yangzhou is my home, besides, I am old, I can't stand so much toss, I only hope that you can take this Qin girl away, Qin girl is a good girl, I just hope you don't let her down."

Xue Tan nodded tearfully.

"Old man, I came to Yangzhou to do some official business, and when everything settles, I will definitely ask for an explanation for you."

As he was talking, the door of the pharmacy was suddenly slammed open, and the dilapidated door hit the wall, instantly falling apart.

"Bang."

A few officers and soldiers broke in from outside the door, and at this time surrounded this small pharmacy, Xue Tan and Chang Lei glanced at each other, and probably knew what was going on.

I didn't expect that before I could find it, they came to the door!

"The people inside give me out!"

The officers and soldiers roared angrily and stomped their feet on the stools beside them.

"What is the matter with this official?"

Chang Lei came out to greet him, and asked Xue Tan to escort the old gentleman back to the house, and hide with Miss Qin first.

"What's the matter?"

The leader snorted coldly, "You don't know what's going on?" ”

"I don't know."

Chang Lei smiled, he didn't expect that there were still people who dared to be so arrogant in front of him, which also made Chang Lei gain insight.

"You two, fornicating with Dong Zhe in an attempt to betray the court, you are guilty!"

"Oh, that's a big hat."

Xue Tan swaggered out of the back room and stood in front of the officers and soldiers.

"Why, this was taught to you by your prefect?"

Xue Tan's words startled the officer and soldier, and then he regained his composure.

"Less nonsense, do you want Lao Tzu to arrest you, or do you go by yourself."

"I'll go by myself."

Xue Tan closed his fan, and Chang Lei and the two swayed out of the main gate and walked towards the yamen.

That posture didn't look like someone was taken away at all, but like a gentleman with his officers and soldiers out on the street.

Above the lobby.

"Sinner

Convicted? ”

The prefect has two mustaches and looks like a thief.

"What crime have I committed?"

Xue Tan sneered.

"Could it be that you want to make something out of nothing?"

"Presumptuous, this official has always been justified in handling cases."

The prefect was shocked and shouted, "Give me thirty boards and despise the imperial court." ”

As he spoke, he was about to throw down the execution stick, but Chang Lei stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Bastard thing!"

The prefect scolded angrily, blew his beard and stared at Chang Lei, he didn't expect to be so bold?

"What are you, dare to talk to the master like this."

Chang Lei was also anxious, and threw the sign on the prefect's face at once.

"You...... You ......"

"What a bold man, you are a small prefect, innocent arrests, and abuse lynching."

Xue Tan snorted coldly and looked at him coldly.

"What are you guilty of?"

"Presumptuous! Licentious! The prefect slapped the table twice angrily, "Do you want you to teach me how to do things?" What are you, so bold! ”

"I'm nothing, just a grass people."

Xue Tan looked around, including these officers and soldiers today, all of them combined, may not be able to beat Chang Lei alone, let alone add himself.

"I want to ask you, since this battle has ended, why are you unwilling to hand over Dong Zhe and rush to the capital to ask for beheading? Could it be that you want to fornicate with Dong Zhe, but you can't do it again? ”

"This prefect warns you not to talk nonsense!"

Then the prefect laughed evilly, "The prefect is searching Yangzhou City, just the two of you, sneakily enter the city, and then go to the Haichun Courtyard, do you think I don't know?" Say, what is your purpose, and what are you doing when you come to Yangzhou? ”

"I'm going to take a look at the harem beauties of the prefect, whether it's beautiful or not."

Xue Tan's face was so cold that it was about to freeze, and Chang Lei stood beside him, feeling the murderous aura on his body.

"Bastard thing, bastard thing, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The prefect stood up and beckoned a group of officers and soldiers, surrounding them.

"Quick, put this bastard in a dungeon! Lord Ben wants him to know what it means to be an official, a little grass people, dare to go against me, I think you are tired of it! ”

"Who dare!"

"I'll see who dares!"

Chen Dongshan's voice was as high-pitched as Lei Hong, and a wave of anger rose from the dantian.
