In this room, dozens of candles were also lit, and the lights were as bright as day. All the people present were over half a hundred years old, and on the main seat sat an old man in gray clothes and clothes, his face was calm, and he could not see joy or anger.

The same old man on the left side of the left, looked around at everyone present, picked up the teacup, drank the fragrant tea, and slowly said to the old man on the main seat: "Old Han, you have to make arrangements early!" Between the words, there was a lot of urgency.

That Han Lao's face did not change, he shook his head, and said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry, not in a hurry." ”

At this moment, a person walked quickly outside, came to the outside of the house, and knocked on the door with "Tuk Tuk ~~~".

Han Laodao, who was sitting on it, said: "Come in!" ”

The door was pushed in, and a young servant in Tsing Yi approached, bending down to ask for a salute. Han Lao said: "What's the urgency?" The servant said, "Master, there is new news." As he spoke, he took out a wax pill from his sleeve and stepped forward to give it to Han Lao.

Han Lao frowned, took the wax pill, pinched the wax pill and crushed it, took out the note inside, unfolded it, and looked at it. The man stood up in astonishment.

The old man who had just asked was taken aback by his demeanor and asked, "What's wrong?" The others were also surprised, this Han Lao, as the leader of Yangzhou Shilin, has a deep cultivation, how could he be so out of shape?

Han Lao handed the note to the other party, "Zhou Lao read it himself." That old Zhou took it, looked at it curiously, and couldn't help exclaiming: "What? Su Zizhan and Wang Jiefu came...... "The words were not finished, and the whole body was shocked," Qin ...... The minister ...... "His hands trembled a little, and his voice trembled a little," ...... Chop first, then play!! ”

Obviously, what happened in the Chen Mansion reached here in a very short period of time.

The great Confucian scholars in the room couldn't help but be amazed and buzzed with each other.

Old Han's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the official family is going to deal with our Han family sincerely, this surnamed Lin is just a knife in his hand!" ”

That old Zhou's face stiffened, and he said, "Han ...... Han Lao, it is said that this Lin Tianxiu is unfathomable, and now he controls the army, and Su Zizhan and Wang Jiefu help, Han Lao, please be cautious! ”

The other old men all nodded in agreement, and responded together: "Please think twice before you act!" ”

Han Lao secretly hated, snorted, and said secretly: "A group of rats who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" On the surface, he also sighed and said: "The top priority, according to the old man, it is not to deal with this surnamed Lin, but to deal with those account books......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Lao continued: "Yes, as long as there is no evidence, even if all the officials in Yangzhou are arrested, what can I do?" Hehe, although he is a messenger and has the right to kill first and then play, does he still dare to kill people at will? ”

"Yes, yes~" "Reasonable~" "What Han Lao Zhou said is extremely true~~" In an instant, everyone agreed to say yes, but they are all old Confucians, who can be described as rich in the chest and five cars, and have a wonderful mouth and lotus, but the limbs are lack and weak, and they have no power to restrain the chickens......

An old Confucian coughed and stood up, took a few breaths, calmed down, and bowed to Han Lao, extremely humble, and said: "Those account books are so important, the surname Lin will definitely keep them personally, and it is said that he is extremely skilled in martial arts, alas, we old guys are useless, we all have to rely on Han Lao!" ”

Everyone, including Elder Zhou, also saluted Elder Han together, "...... Relying on Han Lao......"

Han Lao looked at these famous old men and women acting like this, and he was disdainful, but he also replied with a solemn face: "You have said it, the old man will naturally do his best!" ”

When the morning dawn and the first rays of morning glow ignited in the east, there was the rooster's cry of "oh ~~~" in Chen's mansion.

Yangzhou City seems to have no change, the city gates are opened on all sides, vegetable farmers and merchants come in and out, the only strange place is that the entrance and exit should not be charged again, this weird, but let some of them feel a little uncomfortable, just like they have been used to being abused, and suddenly one day no longer abused, but the whole body is itchy.

What made them unaccustomed again was that there were a few more people on both sides of the city gate, they were not dressed as officers and soldiers guarding the city, but in the costume of the van army, and there were two big men in black costumes during the period.

Although the entrance fee is no longer charged, the search for entering the city has become stricter. It seems like something big is happening in the city?

There are many more people going out of the city today than in the past, they are in a hurry, their faces are afraid, they don't need to be searched when they go out of the city, and some of them have taken donkey carts and gone to the countryside.

Those who entered the city were surprised, but they seemed to be so secretive that no one heard them mentioned.

Today, the small merchants and hawkers who entered Yangzhou City also felt weird, one morning, the pedestrians on the street were extremely scarce, and even if there were pedestrians, the city was in a hurry, as if they were hiding something. The various shops on both sides of the street were also ajar, as if they were open or unopened, and the shouts of the enthusiastic men in the past could not be heard.

Everywhere is weird, weird and depressing.

And the only lively place, but in front of the prefect's yamen, at this time there is a hundred and ten people working, a zhang high (about 3 meters) of the high platform has begun to take shape, built at the main gate of the yamen, I don't know what it is for.

There were hundreds of soldiers around the perimeter of the high platform, and the head of their spear pointed forward, and the sun shone brightly on it, which not only showed the sharpness of the spearhead, but also showed that his master was actually a "rookie egg" who had never been on the battlefield and had never killed anyone. From their faces, if there is nothing to find the earthy smell that the people are familiar with.

Maybe it's this kind of atmosphere that makes a difference, there is gradually a crowd of onlookers here, the crowd gathers more and more, and at first these soldiers are afraid to speak loudly, but slowly it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of, and the crowd is pointing and chatting loudly.

I don't know who raised his head, and said that the soldiers searched for it overnight last night, and I don't know who it was, and said that it is said that yesterday a big official suddenly came to our Yangzhou, and those soldiers were sent out by the adult, and I heard that a lot of corrupt officials were arrested. Someone asked, "How much, how much?" The man replied, "Many, many......"

The crowd burst into laughter, and even the soldiers with guns couldn't help laughing.

The crowd of onlookers saw that the soldier did not scold him, and he was a little more bold to avoid it, and one of them actually asked a soldier: "This big brother, I don't know what the platform here is for?" ”
