The wind is blowing, the rainstorm is coming, and there is a large dark cloud hanging over the city of Panzhou, as if pressing on the hearts of countless people, there is a dull depression.

There are few people on the street, and they have to get it, and from time to time there are fast horses galloping past, which is the armor of the Tan family, rampage unscrupulously, but it is called "patrol".

The Yan family, with continuous houses, has one more street in scale than in the past, and it is all included as an industry. In times of trouble, it is actually them who profit the most. The annexation of whale swallowing, there is already a saying of "Yan Bancheng" outside.

The Yan family is a big family in Panzhou, different from the scholarly family of the Gu family, the process of the Yan family is much more barbaric and complicated, and it belongs to the out-and-out heroism, and it has been accumulating strength for generations. It's just that this power is not on the table, and it is not as domineering as the Tan family.

Now the Yan family is in charge of the overall situation, it is Yan Zhifeng, and his official position is Tongzhi of Panzhou.

Today, as usual, Yan Zhifeng came to the Yamen Public Hall early, sat in a position representing authority, and listened to the reports of his subordinates.

He liked the feeling of being in control, turning his hands into clouds and his hands on rain. As for the domineering Tan family, they have long been complaining, and the people have a lot of opinions. In contrast, the Yan family did some civil affairs from time to time and won the hearts of many people.

"The Tan family? ”

Secretly, Yan Zhifeng's evaluation was quite disdainful. Regarding the dirty relationship between the Tan family and the Gu family, he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and was happy to see it happen. From time to time, he also added fuel to the fire, and did not do anything to fan the flames.

The reports of his subordinates, matters big and small, one by one, Yan Zhifeng listened carefully. It took more than an hour, and finally listened, pondered for a while, and said: "I heard the rumor that the imperial court had a master sent out of Beijing to walk on behalf of the Son of Heaven and survey the sky. ”

This matter is not news, and the following group of people did not say anything, and listened to what the adults said next:

"The purpose of this Qin mission is unknown, a while ago, it appeared in Qinzhou, and also encountered assassins. ”

The assassination of Chin Cha was extremely bad in nature and was a major event, but in this situation, rebellions emerged one after another, and everyone did not care. I even thought in my heart that I wished the assassins would kill Na Chincha.

Yan Zhifeng slowly took a sip of tea: "The assassination failed, and the number of people who were beheaded amounted to more than thirty people. ”

At this time, one of the subordinates below couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "What do you mean, that Qin sent to Qinzhou first, and then came to our Panzhou?"

Yan Zhifeng shook his head: "I don't know if I will come to Panzhou or not, but there is a gossip that Lord Qincha has appointed a governor to take over Panzhou with full authority." ”

"What?"

The fryer was suddenly fryed.

The current Panzhou is governed by their group, and they want the wind to be windy, to be rainy, and they don't know how moist their days are. If Panzhou is returned to the imperial court and order is restored, it means that most of the vested interests will have to be spit out, and this is still necessary?

"Hmph! What kind of governor still has full authority to take over? What kind of person has this ability? Isn't he afraid of ending up as the new governor?"

This is said explicitly, but everyone in the hall is their own people, so there is no need to hide it.

"Isn't that it? In Panzhou today, apart from our Lord Yan, who else can hold it?"

Everyone was originally looking forward to Yan Zhifeng becoming a regular and being promoted from Tongzhi to Zhizhou, but unfortunately the appointment has not come down.

Yan Zhifeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say enough, our family is loyal to the court and diligent in civil affairs, all of which are our duties." As for the promotion of official positions, the government and the opposition have their own arrangements. ”

There was a shout below, all of them were complaining for Yan Zhifeng, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Suddenly, someone asked, "My lord, do you know who this governor is, and when will he come to Panzhou? ”

Yan Zhifeng sighed: "The problem is here, this matter is secret, and I don't know how it is." It was not easy to find out about the governor. However, everyone has a bottom in their hearts, after all, people will come sooner or later, so you can't be rude. ”

"That's that, that's. ”

Everyone smiled and smiled, showing disdain between their eyebrows. The governor's name is big, but if he can't admit it, he is useless, no matter whether he is a dragon or a tiger, when he arrives at the Panzhou Yamen, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Another person said: "These days, Chenjia Village in the suburbs seems to have regained its vitality, and I heard that Chen Tanhua has returned." ”

In Panzhou, Chen Tang, who visited flowers in high school as Xie Yuan, is by no means famous.

Yan Zhifeng raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't you report this matter early?"

The man said, "My lord, the main thing is that the news has not yet been confirmed. Our people didn't see Chen Tanhua with their own eyes. It's just that the village is lively, and production is resuming, and the housekeeper Wang Fu and others are there. ”

Chen Tang's killing of Yang Zichu in Nanfu County did not spread in Panzhou. The information is clogged and lagging, and the people who really grasp the information are just that circle of people. There is no doubt that Yan Zhifeng is among them. And between Yang Linhe and him, there are still some unknown connections and contacts.

Thinking of a certain place, a sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Zhifeng's mouth, and he said, "Okay, that's the end of today's deliberations, you go down to do things first." ”

Waving them back, he began to spread out the paper and ink, thinking about how to phrase it, and put pen to paper. After a while, a disciple told me that the master of the Golden Chan Temple was coming.

This fat monk is burly, full of red face, and very blessed. Just sitting there, a kind of Buddha nature is revealed, and it can convince believers.

"I've seen the master. ”

Yan Zhifeng has a close relationship with Jinchan Temple, and when he saw the great monk coming, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Adults don't have to be polite. ”

Master Yuan didn't dare to put on a show.

The guest and the host were seated, and there were slaves and maids serving fragrant tea, Yan Zhifeng asked, "The master is visiting today, but is there something wrong?"

Master Liyuan folded his hands together and recited the Buddha's name: "There is indeed something...... Well, isn't there been frequent disappearances of warriors these days, and my temple sent warrior monks out to investigate, and I really found some clues. ”

Yan Zhifeng said "oh": "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"It's not clear what it is, it's just that a green building called 'Linshuixuan' was found to be suspicious. ”

"Linshuixuan?"

Yan Zhifeng's face was suspicious, he knew this family, the girl in it was Shui Ling, versatile, and had deep kung fu attainments, and in Panzhou Mansion, it was second to none.

Master Yuan said slowly: "What the old man said is not the previous 'Linshui Xuan', but the current 'Linshui Xuan'. ”

Yan Zhifeng looked stunned: "What does the master mean is that the people inside have been changed and have been dropped?"

"Possibly. ”

The great monk was concise and to the point, playing with a sharp edge.

Yan Zhifeng asked again, "Is there any evidence?"

Li Yuan rubbed his forehead: "Today, Linshui Xuan will go out of the painting boat and go to Snow Moon Island, I heard that there is a group of scholars gathering there, and if there is anything to do, we will know later." ”

"Snow Moon Island?"

When Yan Zhifeng heard the name of this place, he thought of something, and his eyes slowly lit up.
