Chapter 19 Deliberation in the Classroom
Three days later, the Ha Duong Prefecture Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As the official office of the land of a government, here is more majestic than the county government of Baishui County, located in the center of Heyang City, its gate is vermilion, the plaque is hung high, and there are two rows of guards wearing armor at the door standing with guns straight, majestic.
Such a style is undoubtedly very frightening, even for the rich and noble families who gather in front of the door at this time.
"Well, why did we get into this matter?"
"The prefect will be angry for a while, what should I do?"
"But now, how can we retreat? Da Rimen will not let us go!"
Most of these people wearing silk brocade and gold and jade jewelry are adult men, ranging in age from thirty to sixty, and there are thirteen or fourteen people, all of whom are big people with heads and faces in Heyang City.
It's just that at this moment, they all frowned and the corners of their mouths turned down, looking bitter and hateful.
"Hey, why didn't Lao Cui come?" someone suddenly said, "Taihe is going to be stiff?"
When everyone heard this, they searched left and right, and sure enough, they didn't see Lao Cui of Taihe Commercial Bank, and they were immediately surprised: "No, Lao Xiao's stubbornness really came up?"
Everyone looked at each other with disbelief in their expressions, but there was a glimmer of light in their eyes.
However, some people explained: "Lao Cui is in the relationship with the prefect, so there is no need to spread this troubled water!"
Everyone looked and saw that it was Lao Xiao of Desheng Commercial Bank in the same business, knowing that this was true, the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he once again returned to his previous sad face, and sighed in unison.
At this moment, a carriage came, and an ebony sign engraved with a flame pattern hung on the black pen. When everyone saw it, they immediately retracted their expressions, and they didn't dare to make a sound, but just stood with their hands solemn.
The carriage stopped in front of the government office, and two old men in their fifties and sixties got out of the carriage. They wore the same robes, one was tall and thin, and the other was slightly majestic.
"Everybody's here. The majestic old man looked around and said with satisfaction: "I'm sorry for you to run this trip, I, Zhang Yan, thank you on behalf of the door master." ā
This majestic old man is officially Elder Zhang of the Great Rimen that Lin Sen has ever seen. In the face of his thanks, these rich and noble families gave up their hands one after another, and did not dare to slack off at all.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Elder Zhang is polite. ā
"It's our honor to be able to contribute to the Great Rimen!"
"That's it, Elder Zhang is killing us!"
Everyone expressed the same meaning in unison, and there was no sad face at all.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth were raised, and he was very satisfied.
"Okay, don't waste time. The tall and thin old man glanced around, a look of impatience flashed on his face, and urged, "Let's go in and get down to business." ā
Everyone's faces froze, and a trace of displeasure flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes. However, he did not object, but said: "You come with me, let's go to see Master Sun together." ā
The soldier had already been explained, and as soon as Zhang Yan stepped forward and said that, he immediately led him and the tall and thin old man into the mansion, and the rich people glanced at each other and followed closely behind.
A moment later, everyone appeared in the hall of the palace.
In addition to the official chairs in the high hall, there are four Taishi chairs on both sides, and there is a small table in the middle, on which tea is placed, and it is arranged like an ordinary hall for guests.
Zhang Yan and the thin old man sat in the two Taishi chairs on the left, while the rich people glanced at each other, and soon recommended two highly respected people to sit in the other two chairs.
At this time, the official suddenly shouted, "The prefect has arrived!", so everyone could only get up and wait for Sun Ting to arrive, and prepare to give a salute.
But unexpectedly, Sun Ting was not the only one who came, this Lord of Heyang Prefect in an official robe actually led the two out of the back hall!
These two people are in their thirties, dressed in scholarly robes, quite elegant, but the bridge of the nose on their faces is half-collapsed as if they are broken, which is very strange. The other person was twenty-three or fourteen years old, wearing a luxurious robe made of inexplicable materials, with a long sword at his waist, and he walked with an awe-inspiring momentum, which made people inexplicably awe-inspiring.
Lao Cui in the crowd saw the young man behind him, and his eyes suddenly widened, and Zhang Yan also frowned instantly, with a slightly gloomy expression.
"Meet the Prefect!"
Fortunately, although everyone was surprised, the rules were not messed up, and they immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Sun Ting, who was already sitting in the high hall. And Zhang Yan and the thin old man just got up and hugged their fists, and there was no trace of bending on their backs.
Sun Ting's eyes swept under the hall, and he saw everyone's reactions clearly, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Get up." ā
Then the people got up. The two respectable men were about to sit down, but they were surprised to find that there were already people sitting on all four chairs.
The one on the left is undoubtedly Zhang Yan and the thin old man of the Great Rimen, and the one on the right is the two people who appeared with the prefect, who were sitting upright in the chair at this time with their eyes closed, looking very comfortable.
Everyone looked at each other, then bowed their heads and said nothing, and the two respectable people also stopped, and stood honestly between everyone, not moving at all.
Then a voice rang out in the lobby.
"Lord Sun, we are here this time to make Heyang Mansion the territory of my Great Rimen Sect. Zhang Yan sat in the chair and said, "Please report to the imperial court." ā
Sun Ting said expressionlessly: "This matter is not urgent, this official needs to be deliberated and approved before it can be reported." ā
"Then please consider it now. Zhang Yan picked up the teacup, took a sip and said slowly: "Although I am a martial artist, the laws of this dynasty are also clear, and in order to avoid the fatigue of adults, I have made some preparations. ā
He reached into his arms, took out an envelope from it, and said, "According to the law, there must be two aspects to this matter, one is that the rest of the martial arts sects in Heyang Mansion do not object, and the other is that the people in Heyang Mansion do not object. ā
"There are love letters collected by the disciples here, and there are four martial arts sect masters in the surrounding townships and counties, expressing their willingness to serve Heyang Mansion as the territory of the Darimen sect. ā
"As for the many people, hehe, Lord Sun, aren't all the virtuous people of Heyang Mansion right in front of you?
At the end of his speech, he glanced at the rich and noble people standing in the lobby, and everyone spoke enthusiastically, for fear that they would speak slowly.
"The prefect is above, and we are willing to let the Great Rimen rule all the martial arts sects in the Heyang Mansion region. ā
"Yes, yes, Lord Prefect, such a model of righteousness as the Great Rimen should prosper. ā
Everyone, you and me, like ducks in the water, instantly made the lobby noisy and lively.
"Bang!"
Sun Ting was shocked, and the lobby was quiet again. Looking at these sages of Heyang Mansion with his head lowered slightly, he asked coldly: "This official asks you, what you say is the truth?"
Everyone looked at each other, pursed their lips, and said in unison, "Yes." ā
Sun Ting didn't say a word, stared at them, and looked down at them one by one, but still regretted every opening of his mouth.
Zhang Yan opened his mouth and said: "Lord Sun, the situation is so clear, there is no need to spend effort, it is better to report to the court quickly." ā
Sun Ting's cold gaze shifted, and Zhang Yan looked at him without showing weakness, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.
So Sun Ting also sneered.
"The situation is clear, isn't it?" he said coldly: "This official thinks that none of these two laws are in line with the Great Sun Gate!"
Zhang Yan's eyes shrank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the young man sitting opposite.
As if sensing his gaze, the young man, who had been shutting his eyes since he sat down, suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at him.
In the high hall, Sun Ting's voice continued.
"This is Lin Sen, the sect leader of Tongtian Sect in Baishui County, and he does not agree with the matter of the Great Rimen dividing Heyang Mansion into the territory of the sect. ā
"And not only that, the people of Heyang Mansion also have objections to this matter!"
The young man seemed very happy to hear this, and he grinned and turned his head to look out of the lobby door.
Zhang Yan was led by his movements, and he also turned his head to look at it, and saw a dozen or so beggars in tattered clothes and unkempt clothes appeared outside the door, and as soon as they entered, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted.
"Lord Prefect, we don't agree with the matter of Da Rimen!"
