The mirror hangs high, and a large plaque hangs high at the gate of the official mansion. The plaque looks extremely majestic under the sunlight that hangs in the sky, and no one dares to touch this majestic place.

In the antechamber, everyone held their breath and looked around the corner on the left.

One government and five states, the six ruling officials of Nancheng slowly came from the left side of the front hall surrounded by dozens of soldiers.

In addition, everyone present was curious that in the five prefectures of the prefecture, except for Zhizhou Wujiang who was wearing the original official robe, the other five people were all wearing casual robes.

"What's going on?" The dozen or so squires standing in the front row noticed this situation, and they all stared at Wu Jiang with frowns, and said in their hearts with great suspicion.

While!

There was a startling sound, accompanied by Xu Muchuan's capable and calm voice: "Bring one mansion and five states into the hall!" ”

Countless pairs of eyes instantly looked sideways at Xu Muchuan who was sitting on the high hall.

In one government and five states, the six major officials all entered the hall with heavy steps in silence.

The prefect Lin Yi stretched his face even more, and his face was dark as if he had a premonition of his fate.

"Meet Chincha-sama."

After a total of six people from one government and five states stepped into the lobby, their knees weakened and they knelt at Xu Muchuan's feet, not daring to raise their heads.

Xu Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at the six people who were trembling at his feet, remembering that not long ago, when these six people saw him in Yingyuan Restaurant, they straightened their legs but did not bend, and now they are willing to let go of their arrogance after all.

"Come on, give Lord Wujiang of Zhizhou a seat."

After Xu Muchuan pondered for a moment, he said to a soldier waiting next to him.

Hearing this, Wu Jiang's body trembled obviously, and he looked up at Xu Muchuan, whose face was as pale as rippling lake. The other five people kneeling in the lobby had even more trembling eyes, and they couldn't guess what Xu Muchuan meant.

Under Xu Muchuan's order, the soldier immediately moved a chair from the back hall and put it next to Wu Jiang.

Wu Jiang didn't dare to make a move and looked up at Xu Muchuan, as if he was waiting for Xu Muchuan to speak.

"Lord Wu, please take a seat!" Xu Muchuan raised his left hand slightly, pointed to the chair next to Wu Jiang, looked directly at Wu Jiang's somewhat nervous cheeks, and said in a deep voice.

Wu Jiang didn't know what Xu Muchuan meant, and knelt on the ground in fear and nervousness: "My lord, the position of the lower official is low, and I dare not sit in the same hall with the adult." ”

"Sit down! This official is not limited to this subsection, and Lord Wu is qualified to sit in the lobby. The corners of Xu Muchuan's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Thank you, sir." Staring at Xu Muchuan's eyes, Wu Jiang gritted his teeth, and slowly got up and sat on the chair.

As a result, only one government and four states were left kneeling on top of the lobby. They didn't get Xu Muchuan's order, so they didn't dare to raise their heads and get up at all, they all lay on the ground motionless and dripping cold sweat.

Xu Muchuan slowly turned his gaze to the five people kneeling in the center of the hall, and a thick killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes, but it was quickly covered.

"Do you know why this official took the trouble to invite you here?" Xu Muchuan said.

For a moment, there was no response from the lobby.

Smack!

Xu Muchuan held the startling wood in his hand and patted it gently. The five people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shiver, and the clothes on their backs were soaked with cold sweat, and the water was extremely conspicuous.

"My lord, the lower officials and the others don't know." In the year of the prefect Lin Yi's sixtieth year, he still had to be tried by the public, which is really an indescribable sadness. Originally, in a few years, he would be able to return to his hometown and live a leisurely life, but unfortunately it backfired.

"I don't know?" Xu Muchuan groaned in a low voice, and gently tapped the table with his fingers, and the crisp sound reached everyone's ears, as if he was attacking the inner defense of the five people kneeling under the hall.

"If the lord wants to summon the lower officials and others over, just pass the word, and the lower officials and others will definitely come non-stop, why do you need to mobilize the people so much." Zhizhou Huang Changle's sweat beads dripped on the floor, and he lowered his head and said in panic.

When Xu Muchuan heard this, he immediately focused his eyes on Huang Changle's body, and sneered: "Oh? The official seems to have heard that when the official sent someone to invite the adults, Lord Huang resisted the most. ”

Xu Muchuan's deliberately elongated voice was like the scythe of death suspended above the heads of the five people in the hall, and the five of them suddenly felt a gust of cold wind emanating from Xu Muchuan's body, making them tremble.

"My lord, that's ...... That's because...... Because the lower official didn't know that it was sent by the adults to pass the word, he resisted slightly, and the adults misunderstood. Huang Changle lowered his head and kept swallowing his saliva, trying his best to calm the uneasy emotions in his heart, and explained in a hesitant manner.

"Is this the official's fault? Didn't say anything about the situation, did it? In an instant, Xu Muchuan, who was originally with a sneer on his cheeks, turned cold sharply, and asked rhetorically.

"It's all the fault of the lower officials and others, it's all the fault of the lower officials and others, don't be angry." Although Huang Changle was panicked at the moment, he did not forget to pull others into the water to bear the mistake together, so as to vaguely warn others: everyone is a grasshopper in a boat.

"My lord is angry, there are some things that the lower officials have done wrong, and they will definitely try their best to do it well in the future." Prefect Lin Yi immediately looked up at Xu Muchuan, and the pleading meaning in his eyes unabashedly expressed the panic and fear in his heart.

The most important thing is that the prefect Lin Yi claimed to be a lower official, not a lower official and others, which made Xu Muchuan worth pondering. It seems that Lin Yi wants to try his best to dissociate himself from a few other people.

The people present were not fools, and they could see this obscure information from Lin Yi's words. The other four Zhizhou who were kneeling under the hall all subconsciously raised their heads and stared at Lin Yi.

Xu Muchuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Lord Lin, your sins can't be changed, you have been comfortable for too long, and you have long forgotten your original intention." ”

"My lord......" Lin Yi held his breath, and his pleading eyes slowly dimmed. Lin Yi knew that Xu Muchuan was afraid that he already knew everything, and his sins were even more hateful in some ways, how could Xu Muchuan let him go.

Pity my wife and children. Lin Yi sighed in his heart, and his whole body collapsed weakly, as if he was much older.

Being able to sit in the position of a city governor, Huang Changle and the others' ability to figure out people's hearts and words is not weak, and they can hear something from what Xu Muchuan said to Lin Yi just now.

"Your Excellency, your ...... Xia Guan ...... "Huang Changle doesn't know what to say now, begging for mercy shows that he has admitted something, and if he doesn't ask for mercy, it is extremely inappropriate."

Xu Muchuan looked at the people kneeling on the ground trembling, waved his impatient hand, and scolded: "This official doesn't want to talk nonsense with you, this official wants to know, who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
