"Pay back! Pay back! If the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce doesn't pay back the money owed, it will harm the people!"

"Stop yelling, they won't come out!"

"If you don't come out, you can't do it, our family's belongings have been deceived by the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce, and now if they don't pay back, my family will drink the northwest wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Who's to say it's not! Because of this, my old father was to death last month. Alas!"

"Instead of looking for that Lu Wencai, it is better to find Lu Yifan, if there is no Lu Yifan behind him, how dare the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce behave so recklessly. This Lu Yifan relied on a little power in his hands to oppress our people like this, he really deserved to die!"

"I heard that someone went to Xihuang Mountain to ask Lu Yifan for an explanation, but the result was ...... Tut-tut, not to mention how miserable the death was. ”

"What? If they don't pay their debts, do they dare to kill people?"

"What's wrong with the killing? Who are the people in the Soul Sect? That's a group of outlaws cultivated by Lu Yifan, whoever dares to go to Xihuang Mountain to find trouble will kill them, I heard that hundreds of people have died. ”

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have traveled all the way to Jinling City to find the emperor to administer justice. Now the people in the government don't dare to offend Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect at all, they robbed the goods and killed people before they could be reasonable, so they still don't let us ordinary people live? Alas!"

......

Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the new year should have been a joyous day, but the city of Jinling was full of complaints, and the people who came to the Lu family from all over the holy area to collect debts had already surrounded several streets near the Lu Mansion. Looking at the Lu Mansion again, the door was closed, allowing the crowd of people outside to scold and slam the door, but there was never the slightest movement in the Lu Mansion.

The army of debt collectors who came from all directions in the holy area has now covered all the inns in Jinling City, large and small, and several large silk villages run by Lu Wencai have now been completely occupied by the debt collectors, and the guys in the silk village have been beaten by the creditors and their faces are swollen, and all the precious silk stored in the village has also been torn into rags by the creditors, and finally set fire to the streets and alleys of Jinling City. In the face of such a large group of debt collectors, the city army of Jinling City was useless, and it was difficult to maintain law and order in the city.

At the same time, all the major cities in the Holy Domain where there were warehouses of the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce were subjected to large-scale riots by the people, and even those mansions that had helped the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce were also attacked by a large number of creditors. The already disgruntled creditors don't know what rumors they have heard these days, but they have all decided that Lu Yifan and the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce are big liars who completely oppress the people, and they are heinous people who deserve death. Rumors spread so much that the Holy Domain was in turmoil, and Emperor Yan Chong was also busy because of this.

In the golden hall of the imperial city, the leader of the emperor Yan Chong stood on the high platform with a sinking face, and on both sides of the hall stood trembling civil and military ministers, among which Han Xiao was in the first place.

"Listen, listen!" Ling Huang Yan Chong stretched out his hand and pointed to the outside of the Golden Palace, outside the imperial city wall, tens of thousands of debt collectors had gathered there, their complaints were like a sea, their anger was monstrous, and the violent noise had already covered the entire imperial city, so that at this moment, the leading emperor had to deliberately raise his voice when talking to the civil and military ministers in the Golden Palace. The noise outside not only upset Emperor Yan Chong, but also made all the civil and military ministers present walk on thin ice. Yan Chong shouted angrily: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, hundreds of thousands or millions of people went to Jinling City to collect debts, and even surrounded the imperial city, what kind of system is this?"

"Your Majesty!" Yin Mo, who was now the most trusted leader of the troops around Emperor Yan Chong, took two steps forward and arched his hand and said, "The last general will take people to disperse those people!"

"What's the use of dispersing?" Yan Chong glanced at Yin Mo angrily and shouted, "If these people don't have grievances in their hearts, how can they come here to mess around?

Hearing Yan Chong's question, there was silence in the Golden Palace, and no one dared to answer.

"Now the people have no other way, they can only come here to ask for help from this emperor, if this emperor orders you to intimidate and threaten them with force, what is the difference between that and the Soul Sect's approach?" Yan Chong was furious and shouted, "Who of you can explain to this emperor, what is going on?" In fact, Yan Chong asked this intentionally, he didn't know the truth of the matter, but hoped that someone could tell all this in front of the Manchu Dynasty and Han Xiao, and its main purpose was to tell Han Xiao.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce owed them money and couldn't pay it back, and these people who were cheated of money complained everywhere, so they finally had no choice but to run to Jinling City to ask for help from His Majesty the Emperor, praying that His Majesty the Emperor could administer justice for them. Yin Mo replied.

"Bang!"

Before Yin Mo's words fell, Yan Chong had already slammed his fist on the dragon case, and shouted in a deep voice: "There is such a thing?

"Yes!" Yin Mo replied, as he spoke, he also took out a stack of black and white contracts from his arms and presented them to Yan Chong, "This is the contract that the last general picked up from the street when he was patrolling the streets." ”

"What?" Yan Chong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Picked it up from the street, what would such an important contract be littered, and you can still pick up so many?"

"Your Majesty only needs to ask your lordships to know that in fact, every street in Jinling City is now sprinkled with such contracts. Yin Mo said, "Your lords must have stepped on such a contract on the way to the Imperial City. As for why they threw away such an important contract, the last general heard that the people said that it was because they would not return the money if they took the contract, and it was better to throw it all on the street, hoping to attract the attention of His Majesty. ”

"This ......" Yan Chong was stunned by Yin Mo's words for a while, and hesitated for a while before he said slowly, "How could this emperor never think that such a thing would happen in my holy domain, I am afraid that now in the eyes of these people, the holy domain has become a lawless and barbarian land with nowhere to reason, and this emperor has also become a faint monarch who has no action!"

"Your Majesty is angry!" all the ministers in the Golden Palace knelt on the ground when they heard this, and shouted in unison.

"But there is one thing that the emperor is very curious about, that is, where did this Lu Family Chamber of Commerce come from, and the ability to deceive so many people?" Yan Chong asked in a deep voice, "Isn't the president of the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce Lu Wencai? Why don't you come here and explain it to the emperor?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Lu Wencai is now nowhere to be found, and there are only some inconsequential subordinates and house slaves left in the Lu family, and the master of the Lu family has long been missing. A minister with gray temples trembled and said, "I'm afraid it is...... I'm afraid I knew that I would be going to be today, so I ran away early......"

"Then what did Lu Wencai rely on to deceive so many people before?" Yan Chong continued to ask.

"Your Majesty only needs to listen to the voices of the people to know about this matter. Yin Mo said loudly, "Just because behind Lu Wencai is His Majesty the Middle Emperor Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan is not only the Emperor of the Holy Domain, but also the leader of the Holy Domain, and one of them occupies the two major powers of Wenzhi and martial arts in the Holy Domain, and with his backing Lu Wencai naturally dares to do anything wrong." It is reported that when Lu Wencai signed the contract with these people, the ten* were all forced, and most of the people who were forced were officials at all levels in the Holy Domain, and the reason why they did this was because of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Bang!" Yin Mo's words made Yan Chong slap the dragon case with his hand again, his old eyes were full of anger, and he shouted, "What a Lu family chamber of commerce, a good Lu Yifan, a good one person occupies the two major powers of the Holy Domain, Wenzhi and martial arts, I see that in Lu Yifan's eyes, there is no longer me as the emperor!"

"Your Majesty is angry!" the ministers in the Golden Palace shouted in unison again.

"Bastard!" Yan Chong's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "You know that let this emperor calm his anger, I see that in this holy domain, not only Lu Yifan does not have this emperor in his eyes, but even you, even all the officials up and down the holy domain have no emperor in their eyes." The outside is already in chaos, and the holy realm is about to become a barbarian land with nowhere to reason, but this emperor is still deceived by you in the dark, sitting in this golden palace all day long and listening to what you people say to me about the peace of the world, what kind of bastard things like the prosperity of ten thousand years! Are you all old and confused as this emperor?"

"The ministers don't dare!" The ministers were so frightened that their faces turned pale when they heard this, and they begged for mercy one after another.

"Han Xiao!" Finally, Yan Chong pointed the finger at Han Xiao after losing his temper, stared at him coldly, and asked word by word: "This emperor asked you, did you know about this matter in advance?"

"Minister......" Han Xiao had already guessed that something was wrong, and when he got the letter sent to him by Han Cheng, he was even more confused, in the letter, Han Cheng only said that Lu Yifan's whereabouts were unknown after the battle with Feng Chenghuang, and Feng Chenghuang died tragically under the sword of Lu Yifan's Soul Sect master, and Han Cheng led people to fight hard to barely save Han Ling'er from the Rakshasa Gate master. As for the truth, Han Xiao still doesn't know. was already in turmoil, but now that he heard Linghuang Yan Chong's name, his mind was even more chaotic, and he just replied in a low voice, "I don't know ......."

"Okay!" Yan Chong squinted his eyes at Han Xiao and said in a deep voice, "This emperor just didn't know about this matter from beginning to end, so I will believe you once." But this time, you have seen clearly how much Lu Yifan has gone too far, and now the emperor will come to ask you, how to solve this matter?"

"Minister......" Han Xiao was really speechless this time, Yan Chong's words just now had been said very clearly, and it was clear that it was "Lu Yifan did too much" rather than "Lu Wencai did too much", so Yan Chong had already made up his mind to buckle this big hat on Lu Yifan's head, and there was no doubt that Lu Yifan would be punished. In fact, Han Xiao knew Yan Chong's thoughts clearly, but he couldn't say anything.

"Where is Lu Yifan now?" Yan Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Isn't he your son-in-law?"

"Minister...... I don't know!" Han Xiao was uneasy in his heart, and he had been worried about the safety of Han Ling'er and Lu Yifan, so he really didn't have the heart to fight wits and courage with Yan Chong in the court, "It should ...... It should still be in Xihuang Mountain......"

"Lu Yifan is not in Xihuang Mountain. Yan Chong replied bluntly, "It's in the northern Xinjiang." A month ago, he and Feng Chenghuang made an appointment to negotiate at the junction of the northern Xinjiang ice fields, do you know about this?"

Han Xiao was first taken aback when he heard this, and then shook his head resignedly: "Your ...... I don't know about it......"

"You don't know?" Yan Chong sneered, then reached out and took out a crumpled and shapeless paper ball from his sleeve and threw it in front of Han Xiao, asking, "Then do you see if this letter is familiar?"

Han Xiao slowly reached out and picked up the letter in fear, and when he opened it, he was immediately dumbfounded, this was clearly the secret letter he wrote to Han Cheng and ordered him to lead an army of 100,000 to protect Lu Yifan.

"This ......"

"Familiar to you, right?" Before Han Xiao could open his mouth, Yan Chong had already sneered first, "Han Xiao, do you still dare to deny that you don't know anything about Lu Yifan? As early as more than a month ago, you already knew that Lu Yifan was going to the Ice Plain Junction to negotiate with the Beast Domain Sect Leader Feng Chenghuang, and what was the content of their negotiations, I think you should also know very well, right? This emperor reminds you again, the content of their negotiations is about the sale of the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce and the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce. ”

"That's right. Han Xiao hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "It was the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce that deceived the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce first, so Yifan is also a victim......

"Bastard!" Before Han Xiao could finish speaking, Yan Chong's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Do you still want to put the blame on the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce in the Beast Domain now?" This emperor told you that Jiang Tianbao, the president of the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce in the Beast Domain, had already sent a secret letter to this emperor a few days ago, in which he had already explained everything. Not only can the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce be blamed for this matter, but Lu Yifan and Lu Wencai teamed up to deceive the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce of three billion silver shells, President Jiang is the same as those people outside, they are all victims, but he is because he is a person from the beast domain, so he did not go to Jinling City to demonstrate. ”

"This ......" Han Xiao suddenly felt dizzy, he didn't know anything about it, how suddenly it seemed that the sky had changed, the black was said to be white, and the white became black, Han Xiao was at a loss in his heart, but he had faintly realized one thing, that is, now someone must be making trouble behind his back, and he tried every possible means to set up a series of schemes to deal with Lu Yifan.

"Fortunately, this matter is that President Jiang understands the righteousness and decides not to pursue it again, otherwise when he informs the Beast Domain Leader of this matter, what Lu Yifan will endanger is not only the money of those people outside, but also the peace and safety of my Holy Domain. Yan Chong glared at Han Xiao, who was at a loss, and shouted angrily, "Lu Yifan has caused such a big disaster, do you still want to protect him now?"

"Minister......

"You don't have to explain, because this emperor not only wants to condemn Lu Yifan for the crime of deceiving his superiors and subordinates, but also to punish you Han Xiao. Yan Chong's words changed sharply, and he said angrily, "What is your intention to mobilize the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Xinjiang Battalion without the consent of this emperor? Who gave you so much power to mobilize 100,000 troops without authorization? In the eyes of you, Han Xiao, is there still me, the emperor!"

"Minister......

"Han Xiao, as a protector of the country, you know that the crime of violating the law is one degree, you should know very well what the crime of transferring troops and horses without authorization is?" Yan Chong looked like he hated iron but not steel, stood on the high platform and pointed at Han Xiao's nose and scolded, "Han Xiao, you bastard, do you want to learn from that Lan Shixun to rebel? Unauthorized use of troops is a capital crime! Do you know? If it weren't for Su Shiyuan, the governor of Northern Xinjiang, who discovered this matter in time and reported it to the emperor, the emperor would still be kept in the dark by you. ”

"The minister has wronged ......," Han Xiao subconsciously shouted, "This matter is clearly that someone has framed him, and the minister will never use troops without authorization, and he will never use troops without authorization!" This secret letter ...... This secret letter was also deliberately framed by someone to the minister...... The minister did know about the negotiation with Feng Chenghuang in the northern Xinjiang, and he did know that the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce had harmed the people, and these criminal ministers all admitted it! But only this unauthorized military minister was really wronged......" Han Xiao firmly believed that someone must be in the way, and thought about it, if he was really convicted of the crime of using troops without authorization, not only would he die, but even Han Cheng, who was far away in the camp in northern Xinjiang, would die with him. At this moment, Han Xiao already knew very well that Emperor Yan Chong was angry about the fact that he had recommended Lu Yifan as the emperor, and today he clearly wanted to use the topic to play, and made it clear that he was targeting Lu Yifan and himself, since he was already in a catastrophe, then Han Xiao didn't want to involve Han Cheng again, so he didn't want to admit the crime of using troops without authorization.

"Han Xiao!" Yan Chong was so angry that he directly smashed the teacup on the dragon case on Han Xiao's body, and shouted angrily, "The emperor never expected that you would die and not admit it to this day, I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!

At this moment, the ministers in the palace fell to the ground one after another, and no one dared to raise their heads to offend Long Wei, while Han Xiao frowned and quickly calculated in his heart, but no matter how he calculated, he couldn't save today's defeat. Although Han Xiao didn't know who was the obstruction in all this, he dared to assert that Emperor Yan Chong was definitely being used now.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

"Shut up!" Without waiting for Han Xiao to speak, Yan Chong suddenly shouted angrily, and then waved his big hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Come out!" After saying this, the ministers only felt that someone seemed to have walked in outside the gate of the Golden Palace behind them, Yan Chong said to Han Xiao: "Han Xiao, if you can still resist and deny that you did not mobilize troops and horses without authorization after seeing this person, then the emperor will forgive you for your innocence." But this emperor sees that you don't have that chance, because he is the biggest witness who can correct you for committing a heinous capital crime!"

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, but when he saw the burly figure standing in the hall at this moment, his originally puzzled expression suddenly turned into a death-like silence, shock, grief, pain, and remorse...... For a while, thousands of thoughts came to his heart, causing Han Xiao to lose all his spirit, and all the previous worries turned into bitter relief.

Because the person who appeared in the Golden Palace today to point at Han Xiao was Han Xiao's nephew, Han Cheng, who was still desperately trying to protect it just now!
