Li Tonggu must have known the person who was beaten. Although he was very anxious, he turned his head and glanced at Han Yi. After Han Yi nodded to him, he led the people to rush over.

Li Tonggu brought over well-trained soldiers this time, but he didn't expect that the people on the opposite side seemed to be disorganized, but they all had good skills.

There are fewer people on Li Tonggu's side, and they didn't repel the opponent for a while, but just stalemate.

Han Yi said, "Heishui, go help."

Heishui responded, and after he left, Moqiu, who followed this time, stood beside Han Yi spontaneously as a sign of protection.

Heishui is a martial arts master specially selected by Han Yi. He is naturally extraordinary. Even if there is only one person, after joining the battle, he cooperated with Li Tonggu to quickly restrain the opponent.

It wasn't that nobody was there on the other side, a fat man who had been standing beside him immediately shouted, "Stop, everyone come back."

The chaotic scene finally came to a halt. The fat man looked at Li Tonggu and then at Han Yi. For a moment he was not sure who was the one who kept his word, so he had to look at Li Tonggu and asked, "Who is your Excellency?" How dare you stop the government from doing things!"

While helping the beaten person up, Li Tonggu said coldly: "I have never heard that the laws of Chu state have punishment measures of beating people to death in the street."

The fat man snorted: "Your accent doesn't sound like a Chu countryman, what laws do you know about Chu country?"

Li Tonggu said: "Not only do I know the laws of Chu State, but I can also memorize them. Tell me which one says this?"

Fatty:? ? ? ? ?

He has been in Lanling for many years, and he has never heard of anyone who can memorize the original law book.

He wasn't sure whether Li Tonggu would recite it, but he just said: "It's only natural to pay back the debt. If they don't pay back the money, I will naturally find a way to make them pay back the money. I won't be afraid even if I sue the government!"

"You spitting blood!" The man who was beaten said through gritted teeth, "You were the one who lied to Ah Mao! You should let Ah Mao go!"

"Let him go? Yes. Pay back the money first!"

Li Tonggu patted the shoulders of the people around him and said, "Ah Cang, go back and rest first, leave this place to me."

Ah Cang glanced at Li Tonggu hesitantly and said: "Senior Brother..."

"Go."

Ah Cang nodded, and was helped into the courtyard, Xunqing's family quickly began to treat Ah Cang's wound.

Han Yi was not worried about Li Tonggu, he just glanced at him and knew that after Xunqing passed away, the family might be tormented, not to mention the ruins of the family, and he couldn't even get out the wound medicine, so he could only simply wrap it up for Zhang Cang Wound.

Han Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Moqiu, "Bring the medicine box here."

Mo Qiu immediately went over to take the medicine box and sent it over there. The person who was treating Ah Cang's wound seemed to be in contact with this matter for the first time, and he was in a hurry. He asked politely, "I don't know if your Excellency is..."

Han Yi said: "I am good friends with Li Langjun, here are some medicines, if you don't dislike them, I will give them to Xiao Langjun."

The man stood up and bowed his hands to Han Yi and said, "In late Xuncheng, I don't know what your name is, sir?"

Han Yi cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Han."

Han?

Xun Cheng looked at Han Yi with some doubts. It seemed that he was aware of Li Tonggu's movements. Han Yi smiled and said nothing, but asked: "Not long after Xun Lao passed away, did someone make trouble and nobody care about it?" ?”

Xun Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "In the past, this person bullied men and women. My father punished him several times as the magistrate of Lanling County. This person held a grudge. This time, taking advantage of my father's death, he arrested his younger brother and made fun of him A so-called debt document asked us to repay the debt! Poor father has never been able to do anything in his life, and I am useless..."

Xun Cheng choked up when he said this, Ah Cang saw him sad and said: "Don't worry, Ah Cheng, senior brother is here, we will definitely rescue Ah Mao."

After hearing this, Han Yi intuitively felt that this matter might no longer be a simple matter of grievances.

In any case, Xunqing is the county magistrate of the state of Chu, and the county magistrate is the biggest local official these days, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a great official in the frontier.

Even if a person dies, he must have the dignity he deserves, not to mention that he is a scholar-bureaucrat, not everyone can come to make trouble.

Even if only Xun Cheng is left, he is still the son of a scholar, let alone Xun Qing has many disciples.

Han Yi reckoned that there must be someone behind this fat man.

I just don't know what is the origin of this fat man?

He turned his head to look at Li Tonggu, and found that Li Tonggu was still entangled with that fat man.

The fat man was obviously messing around. Although Li Tonggu's words were sharp, even if the other party was messing around, he could be silenced, but the current situation just couldn't delay.

Xun Cheng's younger brother is still in the hands of others. According to Xun Cheng, the two of them have never had any mutual interests.

What's more, just looking at the Xun family's house, he felt that the Xun family was not so poor that they needed to borrow money.

Then it means that the other party is tortured into a trick. If it continues to drag on, whether Xun Cheng's younger brother can survive is another matter.

Thinking of this, Han Yi said to Moqiu: "Help deal with these two wounds, I'll go over and have a look."

After Han Yi finished speaking, he stood up and walked over. Heishui and Chishan hurriedly followed. The situation here is too chaotic. They are worried that Han Yi will be hurt. Who knows what will happen.

When Li Tonggu saw Han Yi approaching, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."

At this time, the fat man was sure that Han Yi must mean what he said. He looked at Han Yi for a while, and he was obviously more polite when he spoke: "This little man is really handsome, but I don't know why he wants to stop me?"

Li Tonggu: ...

He really didn't expect his protagonist to be able to show his face even if he was ugly. Could it be that this person has seen the essence through those clothes?

Han Yi asked: "No matter what happens, Xun's family is going to have a funeral, so it would be too impolite for you to call me now."

The fat man smiled and said, "I don't know, Mr. Xiaolang, I sent someone to explain to me earlier, but not only did they not believe me, they also kicked my people out. It was they who were rude first, not me."

Li Tonggu frowned and said: "Nonsense, there are doubts about the debt, I think you want to grab it!"

The fat man didn't take him seriously, he just said: "I owe money to repay the debt, I have this kid's IOU in my hand, and he himself admits it, why is there any doubt?"

What else did Li Tonggu want to say, Han Yi raised his hand and asked, "Where are the others?"

The fat man said, "Of course I offer food and drink at my house."

"What's the point of detaining the debtor in your own home? Is this the law of Chu State?" Han Yi didn't want to get entangled with the fat man and just wanted to rescue him first.

The fat man said: "The Xun family is very powerful, if I let people go, maybe they will renege on their debts, and then I will be empty of money and money?"

Han Yi asked, "How much does he owe?"

"Lang Jun!" Li Tonggu was a little anxious, Han Yi obviously wanted to give money, this person is obviously blackmailing!

Han Yi raised his hand to stop his words and said, "Calm down, you have to know that things that can be solved with money are not things."

The fat man thumped in his heart. Han Yi's tone was too loud, and he sounded quite confident. Could it be... can he really pay back the money?

The expression on the fat man's face froze for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "My words, Mr. Xiao Lang, won my heart. Actually, it's not much, only thirty thousand dollars."

Rao Han Yi has seen the big world now, and after hearing it, he couldn't help asking: "How much?"

The fat man's face was neither red nor out of breath: "Thirty thousand."

Han Yi was silent for a moment and asked, "Chu's money... is it particularly worthless?"

Li Tonggu said helplessly beside him: "Of course not, [-]... I'm afraid it will be worth the tax revenue of the imperial court for a year."

Han Yi looked at the fat man and asked, "So your Excellency can lend the imperial court a year's tax revenue in a short period of time?"

The fat man said confidently: "How does Mr. Xiao Lang know that it is a short period of time? This person owes me money for not a day or two!"

Han Yi believes that he is a ghost!

With [-] yuan, I'm afraid it's not enough to buy all the property of the Xun family.

Fatty's goal is definitely not money, it must be that the Xun family has something else that they covet.

Thinking of this, Han Yi asked: "I'm afraid the Xun family doesn't have so many properties. You can't let them pay it back now. Is it possible that you will really kill them all if you come to make such a fuss?"

The fat man smiled and said, "Of course not. Although Xunling's family property is not much, the Phoenix Jade, which is known as the most beautiful jade in the world, is in Xunling's house. This thing is enough to pay off the debt."

Before Han Yi could speak, Xun Cheng said, "This is my family heirloom, and it will never be passed on to the outside world. Give up!"

The fat man snorted coldly and said, "Then it seems that you are disregarding your brother's life and death?"

Han Yi took a deep look at him and said, "I'm afraid that today's matter will not come to fruition, so you and I will each take a step back and wait until the funeral is over, how about we discuss it again?"

The fat man glanced at Han Yi hesitantly, and Han Yi smiled and said, "Could it be that you're still afraid that we'll run away?"

After a long while, the fat man nodded and said, "Young Lord, with clear eyes, you can see that he is a man of noble character. If that's the case... I'll wait a few more days and let's go!"

Li Tonggu: ...

Noble character... Although you shouldn't complain about your immediate boss, but you are so confident and bold, I'm afraid that the fat man's underpants that his master can cheat on him won't even exist.

Han Yi turned his head and looked around, and found that the people who had just watched were still there at this time, and he didn't know if these people were guilty. When Han Yi looked around, these people took two steps back, and they all dispersed after a while up.

At this moment, Mo Qiu had already healed the wounds of Xun Cheng and Ah Cang, and Xun Cheng bowed to Han Yi and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for lending a helping hand."

Han Yi said gently: "You're welcome, this matter is over for the time being, may I be allowed to offer incense to Elder Xun?"

Xun Sheng wiped away his tears and immediately said, "Please."

When Han Yi walked into the mourning hall, he immediately shivered—a lot of ice was placed in the mourning hall, which made the temperature very low. Coupled with the unique atmosphere of the funeral, Han Yi felt terrified.

Han Yi paid respects to Zhu Xiang and thought to himself: Don't worry, old man, I will definitely help with this matter, so...if I abduct your apprentice, don't blame me.

After burning the incense, he sat with Li Tonggu and the others. At this moment, he looked at Ah Cang and asked, "This is Mr. Xiaolang..."

Li Tonggu immediately said: "He is my junior brother Zhang Cang, Ah Cang, this is..."

Li Tonggu hesitated when he said this, and Han Yi said, "My surname is Han, and my single name is Yi."

When Han Yi said this, he felt a little excited, Zhang Cang, the almanac No. 1 in the original book, and he also has a very high attainment in arithmetic, he is a rare talent.

For this one, it is right for him to come this time!

He was just secretly excited, but Zhang Cang's excitement was beyond words, probably because he was still young and looked not much older than Han Yi, after hearing Han Yi's self-introduction, he immediately stood up and said with wide eyes: "Your Excellency... ...Your Excellency is Great Qin Yue Gong?"

Han Yi smiled slightly: "It's right here."

Zhang Cang raised his eyebrows with joy and saluted instantly, and said, "I just lost my strength, and with the help of Master Yue, Amao must be fine."

Li Tonggu was a little embarrassed for a moment, coughed lightly and said: "Ah Cang, don't be powerless. This time, the lord has heard about the teacher's virtuous name for a long time, and he came here to attend the funeral after hearing that the teacher passed away. It is better not to involve the lord in our affairs." good."

Zhang Cang froze for a moment, looked at Li Tonggu and then at Han Yi, with a slightly disappointed expression on his face, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said: "If Mr. Yue is willing to lend a helping hand, I am willing to serve you as a cow and a horse." To repay the kindness of Lord Mingyue!"

Han Yi: ...

You jumped into the bowl before I dug the hole?From this point of view, I don't think it's okay to ignore it.

This time, without waiting for Li Tonggu to speak, Xun Cheng jumped up and said, "It's up to me to say that! It's just... After all... hey, it's better not to embarrass Duke Yue."

Han Yi glanced at Li Tonggu, Li Tonggu was silent for a while and whispered, "Master, do you have a clever plan?"

Han Yi shook his head slowly: "It's hard to say now, you have to know that the other party still cares about face and hasn't used too rough methods."

Zhang Cang stared wide-eyed and asked, "They...they've already knocked on the door, aren't they being rude?"

Han Yi asked back: "Then do you think you have the ability to resist the other party? Today the other party is just roughing you up. If they break in and snatch it directly, what will you do?"

Zhang Cang and Xun Cheng were at a loss for words for a while, they didn't know how to answer.

If the other party really broke their face and came in to grab it, they... really couldn't resist it.

The Xun family also has some servants, but they are not opponents of the other party.

Li Tonggu suddenly asked: "Where are the other brothers?"

His teacher had been in the world all his life, so why are they the only ones in the house now?

Zhang Cang said angrily: "Don't mention those villains who seek good fortune and avoid evil!"

Li Tonggu immediately asked: "Is there any inside story about the sudden death of the teacher?"

Xun Cheng said sadly, "Daddy, daddy was pissed off by them! Dad suggested that King Chu move the capital, and these people slandered daddy and said he harbored evil intentions!"

When Xun Cheng said this, he broke down in tears, and Han Yi was a little embarrassed for a while.

Strictly speaking, the move of the capital of Chu State is still related to Qin State, but it seems that this incident has caused internal strife in Chu State, and Xunqing is the victim of this internal strife.

Just because of this reason, it would be difficult for Han Yi to say the next thing.

Just when he was considering how to say it more euphemistically, Li Tonggu suddenly said: "Then, is moving the capital the upper hand or not moving the capital?"

"Basically all those who proposed to move the capital were exterminated." Zhang Cang said sadly: "Otherwise, how could we be so bullied?"

Han Yi suddenly understood. He said that even if Xunqing offended people in Chu State, he would not be able to make himself a lonely minister. He must have like-minded friends and colleagues with the same political ideas. How could it be possible that there is no one to help? .

But if he was slaughtered for some reason, then... it is a good result that Xunqing can still hold a big funeral now, and his family has not been implicated.

Therefore, Xunqing's former disciples may also fly away separately in the face of disaster. Those who stood with him were all wiped out, and the rest went to save their lives and did not dare to stand up for them.

However, Han Yi still didn't speak, Li Tonggu was considered someone who knew him well, and after a little thought, he knew that Han Yi's thoughts might not be suitable to speak out.

So why isn't it a good time to speak up?

Definitely not asking his junior brother to hand over the Phoenix Jade, if not...then...

Li Tonggu rolled his eyes, and said immediately: "When something like this happens, it's meaningless for you to stay in Chu State. Why don't you...leave."

Xun Cheng looked blank: "Leave? Where can I go?"

Li Tonggu glanced at Han Yi, seeing that Han Yi hadn't said anything yet, he tentatively said, "My lord, look..."

Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "Old Xun's heirs and disciples must be outstanding among men. If they are willing to come to Daqin, I, Daqin, will naturally welcome them. You two don't have to worry about resettlement. Anyway, Tonggu is here, and he can still help you a lot." take care of."

Li Tonggu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly and said, "Exactly."

Xun Cheng's eyes lit up, but Zhang Cang sighed and said, "I'm innocent, but I'm guilty of jade. If we don't hand over the Phoenix Jade, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of Chu."

Han Yi said: "It's not impossible to do this, but first we need to figure out what they want Phoenix Jade for."

Xun Cheng was silent for a while before saying: "No matter what they ask, I will never hand over the Phoenix Jade!"

Han Yi said: "Of course you can't hand it over, but since you are leaving, why don't you deal with the family property first, and sell the land and the like if you can sell it. Don't worry, Daqin has nothing else. You have as much land as you want. At that time Naturally, you can also buy property."

"But...will people suspect that we are leaving if we start selling?" Zhang Cang was a little worried.

Han Yi said directly: "Isn't it normal for you to spread the word that in order to pay back the money, you sold your property in order to pay back the money?"

Zhang Cang and Xun Cheng looked at each other and found that it was true.

Xun Cheng said: "That's fine, it's getting late, Mr. Yue must be tired after coming all the way, why don't I find a place for you to rest first."

Han Yi knew at a glance that they had something to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

He got up and followed Xun Cheng, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly waved to Heishui and Chishan and said, "Come here."

Heishui Chishan immediately took two steps forward, and Han Yi asked, "Which of the two of you has better lightness kung fu?"

Heishui whispered, "Subordinate."

Chi Shan also nodded in agreement, and Han Yi turned his head and asked, "That fat man...cough cough, I mean who is the person who came looking for trouble today?"

Although Xun Cheng was a little puzzled, he still replied: "He is a servant of Mr. Changping."

Mr. Changping?Chu royal family?

Han Yi nodded and asked, "Do you know where the residence of Lord Changping is located?"

Xun Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked with his eyes wide open, "Mr. Zhu Yue..."

Han Yi smiled slightly: "If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never end in a hundred battles. Don't worry, I just want people to go and see if Mr. Xiaolang is all right."

After hearing this, Xun Cheng nodded repeatedly: "It would be great if I could know the safety of my brother-in-law. The location is easy to find, and I can lead the way."

Han Yi shook his head: "Tell him the location. There must be people from Mr. Changping watching your house now. It's better not to go out easily, Heishui, I will trouble you to step on it."

Heishui immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely act carefully."

Xun Cheng also saluted Heishui at this time and said, "I leave everything to the righteous."

Heishui blushed, he had never received a gift from a scholar before, and after returning the gift in a hurry, he was still a little excited.

After Heishui got the task, he turned around and left, Chishan followed Han Yi to rest.

After Xun Cheng took them to the place, he gave them a few instructions, and Han Yi asked him to do other things.

After Xun Cheng said a few polite words, he left the yard and turned to look for Li Tonggu.

At this time Zhang Cang was talking to Li Tonggu, Xun Cheng hurried over and asked, "Brother Li, if we go to Daqin, will there really... be nothing wrong? Phoenix Jade... is too eye-catching."

Now Xun Sheng is not at all sure whether he can keep the Phoenix Jade. His family's foundation is in Chu State, and they were almost ransacked. When they arrive in Qin State...if the king of Qin State also...then what resistance do they have? What about spare energy?

The main reason why Xun Sheng didn't object was because Li Tonggu was now an official in Daqin. He and Li Tonggu had a good relationship since childhood, so naturally he didn't think that Li Tonggu would cheat him.

Li Tonggu glanced at him and said: "You probably haven't seen Duke Yue's mansion in Hancheng. The Korean royal palace in the past was assigned to him as the mansion. The whole mansion is magnificent. Han Wang, the current Daqin Tongyuan Bo feels that the Duke’s Palace is far more luxurious than the Han Palace. It is no exaggeration to say that the lord is as rich as the enemy. He will not care about a mere Phoenix Jade. Have a look."

Xun Cheng and Zhang Cang were shocked. They knew that Han Yi had a high status in Daqin and that he was powerful, but they never knew that he was so rich.

Xun Cheng couldn't help but asked, "King Qin...hasn't said anything at all?"

Li Tonggu chuckled twice and said, "What do you know? Most of the things my lord gave were given by the king. They are all good things collected by the royal family over the years. The king picked out the best ones for him."

Xun Cheng couldn't help swallowing, in this case... it seems... don't worry.

Zhang Cang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder it is rumored that the King of Qin and Duke Yue are models of monarchs and ministers. It is really rare for a ruler to tolerate others and a minister to have peerless talents."

Li Tonggu opened his mouth after hearing this, but he still didn't speak in the end, he was afraid that telling the truth would shatter all three views of this honest junior.

Xun Cheng sighed and said, "Brother, let's go to rest too, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

Li Tonggu nodded and was not polite to him. There were too many things that happened that day, and he even thought about asking Han Yi tomorrow if he could do anything.

However, when he went to find Han Yi the next day, it happened that Han Yi lost his temper: "The king of Chu wants to die, so I will help him!"

Li Tonggu was shocked suddenly, what happened?Could it be that his lord is going to blow up the royal city again?

Thinking of this, Li Tonggu went in quickly, and seeing Han Yi's complexion was not good, he asked cautiously, "My lord, what happened?"

Han Yi turned his head to look at Li Tonggu and said with a sneer, "You probably can't guess what Mr. Changping is planning to do with Phoenix Jade."

Li Tonggu asked, "What is he going to do?"

Han Yi pursed his lips and said, "The King of Chu wants to marry Ah Zheng, and he intends to ask the envoy to bring Phoenix Jade to Qin to propose marriage!"

Li Tonggu: ...
