No, Mrs. Xu and the adopted daughter found an opportunity.
Xu Yuyu's little clothes in Yan Zhifu's hands have been taken back by Mr. Xu's people, but people are like this. When there is no hope, they may not think about it again. Seeing that there is hope and then losing it, the hope in the heart is amplified.
, and the courage also grew.
Mrs. Xu and the others and Magistrate Yan’s original plan was as follows:
Magistrate Yan also pretended to be respectful and separated from others, then hid in a room specially designed for officials to rest and waited;
On the other side, Xu Yuyu was knocked unconscious as soon as she came out of the palace. Then the adopted daughter of the Xu family helped Xu Yuyu to the room where Yan Zhifu was on the grounds that she was not feeling well.
Fortunately, Daliang was reminded by Qi Bao'er and borrowed two female secret guards from Qi Bao'er, disguised as maids and followed Xu Yuyu.
Mrs. Xu and the others' first step of knocking Xu Yuyu unconscious hit a slippery slope. Instead, the person who tried to take action was beaten half to death by a secret guard. The adopted daughter of the Xu family who was hiding not far away was knocked unconscious by another secret guard.
Then, naturally, he avenged his revenge on the spot. The secret guard quietly sent the adopted daughter of the Xu family to the room where Yan Zhifu was, and then knocked him unconscious.

Huo Han suddenly looked at Jun Jinlan and felt something was wrong, "Master Lan, it turns out that you have already prepared... [Made a motion of slicing his neck, and rolled his eyes with a very soulful death look] Chop up Ye Cheng
These immoral goods."
Jun Jinlan was so amused by his special antics that she almost couldn't hide her smile. There was no need to pretend to be serious with Huo Han, so he nodded frankly.
"Uncle Huo, I have a lot of things to do on this trip to the territory.
Yu Gong, firstly, it is about the disaster in the territory, and secondly, before I left Beijing, the emperor specially summoned me to the palace. As for Jingzhou's two-year tax debt, the emperor did not completely believe that Master Qi used all the money.
Come and give to the refugees.
Uncle Huo knows this is private."
Huo Han nodded, privately speaking, Jun Jinlan wanted to use himself as bait to lure out the leader of the Demon Sect, who had never seen the beginning and end of the demon sect, so that the Jun family and the Demon Sect could finally come to an end.
"Is the Emperor suspicious of the Qing Palace?" Huo Han frowned into a cross.
The father of the old King of Qing was the younger brother of the emperor's own grandfather. His lineage was very loyal to the emperor's lineage. It would be very chilling if the emperor really doubted them.
"To be honest, I don't know whether the emperor really doubts the old King Qing, or whether he just doubts Mr. Qi."
After a pause, Jun Jinlan pursed her lower lip and continued: "Jingzhou's annual harvest is the second in Yu State. Mr. Qi has not handed over a pound of grain to the court for two consecutive years. Uncle Huo, you have also seen that this year
It's quite excusable. Mr. Qi himself admitted that this year's taxes were in arrears, but what about last year's?
I asked Mr. Qi, and Mr. Qi said that last year's taxes were paid to Jingzhou, and they were escorted to Beijing by the Jingzhou Army, and they were also recorded in the tax roll."
Huo Han was a little confused now, "No, Mr. Lan, if the Ministry of Household Affairs does not receive taxes from Jingzhou, it is impossible for the court to make no noise, right?"
He has never heard about Jingzhou’s tax arrears!
Jun Jinlan's eyes darkened, "I was suppressed by the Emperor. The Queen Mother told me that the Emperor was worried about finding out the old King of Qing."
Huo Han: "..."
He really didn't know what to say.
No one will be traced but Old Qing Wang will be traced, okay? He even suspected that Old Qing Wang and his son might not know about this.
I wonder if it’s because he’s always been too crazy. Why does he have the feeling that someone is trying to hide something?
Fortunately, Huo Han was crazy, but he still knew what to say and what not to say.
This topic was too sensitive to discuss in detail. Huo Han laughed, scratched his head and looked out the window, "Why did it take so long for Goudan to get a few people?"
As he said that, he glanced at Jiufu who was standing next to Jun Jinlan with some displeasure.
That guy Goudan will really embarrass him. This guy took the little girl to get something and came back all the way, but Goudan is still nowhere to be seen.
Jiufu seemed to feel something, but when he raised his eyes and looked over, Huo Han had already looked away. He didn't notice his resentment for a moment, but he was just wondering why he felt a little cold at that moment.
In the military world, there are military orders like a mountain, and in the official field, there are officials of the highest rank who can crush people to death.
Goudan held the seal of imperial envoy and surrounded the prefect and Qian's houses. As the prefect, Ge Mingfeng did not dare to resist, let alone the Qian family who were just merchants, unless they wanted to rebel.
"Why are there so many people?" Magistrate Ge was forced out of the government office and everyone was still confused.
He felt uncomfortable as soon as King Lan arrived, but he saw that King Lan only brought a few dozen people with him, so he felt that King Lan would not take risks with only those dozens of people.
Moreover, he guessed that it would not be difficult for King Lan to guess who he belonged to.
That's why it was clear that the situation was unfavorable to him, but he still managed to remain calm and calm. It could even be said that he didn't worry at all that King Lan would take action against him.
Shouldn’t everyone be tacitly aware of this?
When he was being escorted past Goudan, Magistrate Ge suddenly grabbed Goudan's clothes as if he suddenly woke up.
"I want to see Prince Lan. I have something important to report. Please take me to see Prince Lan."
"Okay, Prince Lan wants to see you too." I just hope you won't regret it after meeting him.
"take away."
The arrest went smoothly on the prefect's side, but it was a bit chaotic on the Qian's side.
There were many female members of the Qian family, and they screamed everywhere when they were frightened. Not only that, some of the men screamed more exaggeratedly and scarier than the female members. There were even soldiers who fainted when they got close to them before they even touched anyone.
If it weren't for the fact that some of the people who came were from the Black Feather Army, who didn't understand the meaning of pity and pity, and thought it would be easy to stun people with a scabbard and drag them away, otherwise the trouble would not have lasted long.
Mr. Qian, who was already over 60 years old, had a look of death on his face. I don't know whether he was frightened or because he was in poor health and could not walk safely and needed help from people around him.
When he arrived at the door of the mansion and saw one of the people being held hostage outside, he suddenly looked frightened and his hands trembled.
"Qian Chun, how, how..."
The man named Qian Chun was a steward in his forties. There were bloodstains on many parts of his body at the moment. It was said that he was being held in custody. To be more precise, he was being held up by two people on his left and right before he could barely stand still.
The man was already dying. Hearing Master Qian's voice, he struggled to lift his head several times before raising his head slightly. He weakly said: "Old, master, old, old slave is useless. The eldest young master has also been arrested."
As soon as he finished speaking, he dropped his head and passed out again.
Mr. Qian fell down as if he had been hit hard, "It's over, my Qian family is really going to end this time."
After Ge Zhifu entered the study room of the post house, he didn't talk to Jun Jinlan for long, only about ten minutes. When he came out, he was half-carried and half-dragged away by Goudan as if his soul had been sucked out.
Huo Han, who followed out, had a look of ruined outlook on his face.
-
For most people in Yecheng, this night was no different from usual.
Who would have thought that when he woke up from his sleep, Yecheng had already changed.
The city gates were closed, the gates of the prefecture were closed tightly, and the people patrolling the streets were no longer government officials but soldiers in armor. The Qian family, which once dominated an unrivaled area, was surrounded by soldiers, and the Qian family's shop on the street was destroyed.
The family is open.
The common people are the best at showing good luck and avoiding evil. The atmosphere in the city is obviously not right. Everyone is hiding in their homes with their doors closed.
