He used to do everything, obviously wanting to pull the Nian family out of the fire pit, but now he is secretly exerting pressure.

Thinking that Yang Pei'an gave such a serious punishment to the Nian family, it also meant a banquet.

Could it be that he was testing his attitude?

Li Yannian borrowed tea to hide his look, he looked at his nose and nose, and always felt that today's things were a little strange, but he didn't know where to start.

After pondering for a while, he said: "The matter of the immortal ointment has affected a lot, and Lord Yang has done a good job. ”

Zhou Yan chuckled, and then moved his gaze back to the court.

A figure flashed outside the court, Zhou Yan's eyes swept over, and he picked up a cup of hot tea.

Yang Pei'an just threw the token down, and before the government soldiers could take them away, he heard a commotion outside.

"Why should the entire Nian family be executed? How can a private boat trade be punished so much? ”

"Isn't it a day or two for the Nian family to open a ship trade, and if you don't check when you pay tribute, you will die after paying tribute, isn't this a rabbit dead and a dog cooking?"

"The Nian family is not going to be escorted to the capital, why did they die on the road? Governor Yang, don't do it for the Nian family's property! ”

"This ......" Yang Pei'an looked at the excited crowd outside, and there was no master of the six gods for a while.

In the crowd, there are not only those gag idlers, but also the merchants with heads and faces.

Although they did not speak as radically as others, they were more eloquent: "Governor Yang, if you don't find out the cause of death, how can you convince the public?" A single crime of privately opening a ship trade will not lead to the seizure of all property! Today, we need an explanation anyway! ”

Most of these merchants have received benefits from the beginning of the year, and they have given gifts to the prefect every year, from the large deed to the gold and silver, all of which have been bloody.

Thinking of the year when the financial resources are the most abundant, they have also ended up with a full of cuts, and everyone in the merchants is in danger, and today is not only to seek justice for the Nian family, but also to seek a guarantee for their future vitality.

Thinking of this, the merchants raised their voices one after another.

Yang Pei'an wiped his sweat, where could he come up with any explanation?

Treating such a punishment at the beginning of the year is also for the sake of Zhou Yan's face.

Speaking of Zhou Yan, Yang Pei'an looked over, and it happened that Zhou Yan stood up at this time.

He put the teacup on the table and pressed his hands down: "Lord Yang has been the prefect of Yuzhou for many years, and there must be a reason for this...... Yang Pei'an, why did you give such a big punishment to the Nian family? ”

Yang Pei'an felt that Zhou Yan had stabilized the overall situation at first, but he didn't want him to stand directly on the opposite side of him.

It's a trap!

Yang Pei'an felt the taste at this time, he looked at Li Yannian in a panic, and said mournfully: "Lord Li......"

As soon as the words fell, he saw Li Yannian's fierce gaze glaring at him.

It's over, he's in trouble.

Yang Pei'an quickly closed his mouth, hoping that Li Yannian would not remember him about this matter in his heart.

"I naturally think it's ......" Li Yannian flicked his sleeves, and just as he was about to choose himself, he heard Lin Xing's voice crisp, and he said out of nowhere.

"Master Li didn't raise any objections, thinking that a principled person like Lord Li would definitely not do a second word."

Lin Xing understated and suffocated Li Yannian's words back into her stomach.

The merchants were indignant, and some people also saw the wind and rudder, and said:

"Master Li, you are in a high position, and you think so?"

"What about a high authority? Where will there be any good birds for those who sit in this position? ”

Seeing that the crowd was excited, he was about to break through the crowd and force inside.

The guards were difficult to stop, and they didn't check for a while, but let the people out.

Outside the court, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Yang Pei'an's past judgments, and today they all rushed forward to kick and scold through the chaos.

Zhou Yan watched all this and didn't intend to stop it.

He glanced at Li Yannian with a smile and took the lead in leaving from the side door.

He waited quietly by the pillar for a while, and sure enough, Li Yannian walked over with a gloomy face.

Li Yannian twisted his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Yan didn't want to deal with him too much, he opened his folding fan: "Lord Li, now that things are not at a dead end, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" ”

"You're telling me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" As if he had heard some big joke, Li Yannian sneered, "What is darkness? What is Ming? Since the old man has been forced on this road, he has never thought of turning back! ”

"Lord Li's words are too thin." Lin Xing walked out from behind Zhou Yan, her cold face was full of disdain, "Your heart grows on yourself, even if you are a prince, you may not be able to easily sway people's hearts, and you can't resist power, don't say it so high-sounding." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Li Yannian take a step back, his face was shocked, and after a long time, he came to his senses, and only opened his eyes and said, "Please also ask Mrs. Zhao to be cautious!" ”

"I know what I'm talking about!" Lin Xing took a step forward and said sharply, "Why did Tanglin Pharmacy obey you, and why did Zhao Yi die, you know better than me in your heart!" ”

"Don't spew blood, frame the court officials, you should be the ......"

"These things, it seems like you've never seen them before." Zhou Yan stood in front of Lin Xing and threw a piece of paper on Li Yannian's face.

The black and white letters on it are clearly written, and even the payment is stamped with a red handprint.

Li Yannian didn't distinguish a few words, and he was already in chaos, he froze helplessly, and after a while, he stuffed the paper-like words into his mouth, in a vain attempt to destroy the evidence.

However, Zhou Yan had already seen his thoughts, and with a light tap of his folding fan, Li Yannian's jaw had been removed.

The adverbial saliva melted into Li Yannian's mouth, and it made people feel disgusting.

Seeing that Zhou Yan and Lin Xing had no intention of taking it out, Li Yannian endured the severe pain, and the big stone in his heart fell by eight points.

I didn't think that he had just breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw Zhou Yan take out another identical testimony, and said condescendingly: "Li Yannian, that testimony was just copied by someone I sent someone, why are you so anxious?" Don't you think there are ghosts in your heart? ”

Zhou Yan changed his words, his tone was sharp, and he looked at the secret guard behind him: "Suppress him for me and take strict care!" ”

"Yes!"

Turning back to the court again, Yang Pei'an was already bleeding from his head, and he could only curl up in the corner and beg for mercy.

Zhou Yan covered his lips and chuckled, clasped his hands together, but with a light pat, the court immediately became solemn.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yan seriously, waiting for his next step.

"The prince has already clarified all the matters, and the case of the Nian family can be stated by the son of the world."

"Everyone knows that Nian's furniture is engaged in the ship trade, do you know what Nian's family smuggles and sells?"

Zhou Yan's two sentences made the people present completely confused.

There were bold people who whispered in the crowd, "What are you selling?" ”

Zhou Yan was not in a hurry to answer, he clapped his palms, asked everyone to withdraw from the court, and carried Nian Ruipeng up.
