Chapter 176 Tongdian

Yang Pan returned to the yamen to rest and the night passed.

The next morning, Yang Pan received a report from the yamen runners, and the elders of the Long family and the Fan family came.

Yang Pan did not ask for help, and ordered: "Take them into the hall and let the two purple-clothed policemen accompany me. I will arrive in a while."

"As for the order." The yamen runner quickly took the order and left.

In fact, two purple-clothed police officers from the six gates of Datong Prefecture also consciously invited the two elders to the hall and served as their own companions.

This is not the first time these two purple-clothed police officers have dealt with the two major families. They are familiar with each other, but they don’t feel much stranger and have a very pleasant chat.

"You two are also welcome to have tea, and the two of them will come out soon." Police Officer Li said with a smile.

In fact, to be honest, even if the host does not welcome the guests outside the door, he should receive them in the lobby instead of letting the two guests wait in the living room.

But the problem is that Yang Pan is a god, while the other two guests are not. The class levels are different, so naturally there is no fairness to say.

The two elders of the aristocratic families dared not have any opinions.

On the contrary, being received by oneself is already a kind of grace. Isn’t it that you still want to be more and more arrogant?

After a while, the yamen runners outside shouted loudly: "The God of Captain is here!"

The four people who were still sitting in the living room put down their teacups almost at the same time and stood up to greet them.

Yang Pan's figure stepped in from the back hall, walked to the main seat, and sat down.

The two elders of the Long family and the Fan family bent down and saluted at the same time: "At the elders of the Xialong family, see the Blood-clothed God Captain Yang."

"Please sit down for two, no need to be polite." Yang Pan gently pressed his left hand and said.

The two elders were shocked and sat down with the flow.

The other two purple-clothed policemen also sat down.

At the same time, a yamen runner brought a cup of hot tea to Yang Pan.

Yang Pan picked up the teacup and said, "You two are guests from afar, please invite tea."

"Thank you, Lord Yang." The elders of the Long family and the Fan family respectfully picked up the teacup and thanked. Although they were drinking tea at this time, they were mixed feelings in their hearts.

They still felt a little lucky if they didn’t see it with their own eyes. What if Yang Pan’s promotion to heaven is just a rumor?

But after they saw it with their own eyes, they realized that rumors in the world may not be all fake.

Yang Pan actually broke through the realm of the Grand Master and was promoted to a higher level of heavenly beings.

After a while of politeness, Yang Pan went straight to the topic and said, "You are also a person who is busy with everything, so I don't talk much nonsense. These are the standard weapons I found from the grassland and the Parr big tent military camp. They are all powerful weapons in my Great Zhou army, and there are quite a lot of them. Yang also found that these weapons were from Datong Prefecture, Shanxi Road. Therefore, he came to investigate with the order of the Chief Commander."

Yang Pan waved his hand and a large number of brand new weapons such as swords, guns and other weapons appeared on the ground.

The two purple-clothed policemen first picked up a handful and looked carefully and said, "This weapon is not used in the army, because the weapons in the army are all numbers, but the standards and quality are not inferior to those in the army. It seems that they should have been forged by the powerful soldiers workshop of the Great Zhou."

"And, the recent self-inspection in the military has not seen large-scale disappearances or thefts of weapons." Captain Li added.

"It's obvious that someone casts weapons privately and then smuggles them to the grassland." Captain Han nodded and replied.

The elder of the Long family and the elder of the Fan family also picked up weapons to check.

He nodded silently.

In fact, they all knew that smuggling military weapons on the back of the court was a big deal that made a fortune in the market. I don’t know how many forces involved in Datong Prefecture were involved.

The two major families also participated in a lot directly and indirectly.

However, such things cannot be mentioned on the surface, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yang Pan took two sips of tea, gently put down the tea cup, and said lightly: "This group of smuggling leaders were also taken away by me from the large tent of Parr Central. After asking carefully, there was an answer. Do you two want to hear it?"

The elder of the Long family and the elder of the Fan family were shocked, and an indescribable fear surged into his heart. If he was really caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The court clearly stipulated that smuggling military weapons would be punished with deceiving the monarch and treason, and the consequences would be that the whole family would be executed and the nine clans would be killed!

Although there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Regardless of whether there are any lip service or not, the eight major families must have acted lip service or not.

But the court could not find any handle and could not cause any attack.

In the final analysis, it is still the eight major families that are deeply rooted and closely related to the six major sects in the Central Plains.

The whole body was touched by a single wave, and the court did not dare to eradicate a certain family without definite evidence.

Moreover, the eight major families themselves have extremely profound strength and background, and the court also has many concerns.

——————————————

"What does Lord Yang mean?" The elder of the Long family's eldest son was naturally not weak in his eyes. He recognized that these weapons were the ones that were smuggled into the Par tent not long ago by the Long family. Naturally, they could not admit it.

"The big tent is facing Juelong Pass, and my Yang family has been guarding Juelong Pass for generations. Several generations of Jingbian Marquis have been killed in the battlefield, and the Yang family has suffered numerous casualties. Now, there are forces in the Central Plains who dare to smuggle military weapons to the Parr tent. Isn't this obviously targeting my family? Fortunately, Yang still has some positions, so he came to check in person which family did it." Yang Pan's momentum rose, and the entire living room was filled with unspeakable pressure.

The first thing that this momentum is to be blamed on the elders of the two major families.

When the two purple-clothed police officers heard this, Yang Pan's meaning was very obvious. I came to take revenge on my own, so don't tell me any evidence or rules.

If Yang Pan is still a great master now, he will still be within the system. Such behavior is a foul and no party will allow such behavior.

But the problem is that Yang Pan is now a celestial being, and is tenth in the celestial list!

Rules and rules are not in charge of the heads of heaven and man.

The two purple-clothed police officers could only pretend to cooperate without knowing it.

"That's right, the major case of smuggling military weapons to the grassland was to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, and we have to investigate!" Captain Li expressed his opinion.

"Investigate, you must check carefully!" Captain Han shouted seriously.

Two purple-clothed police officers expressed their opinion on behalf of the Six Gates of Datong Prefecture.

"Yes, you must check it carefully. Now I will submit a memorial to the court, asking Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate to participate in the joint investigation of the three departments." The heads of the eight major families also have the title of Count or Viscount. Although they are empty titles, they only have names but no rights, but they still have the power to submit the memorial.

This is also the court's pacification and recognition of the eight major families.

Yang Pan nodded and said with a smile: "I am young and do not understand the rules of the court. I will only give you three days. Within these three days, Datong martial law will be strictly prohibited, and all relevant people will not be allowed to leave the city. Three days later, I will have a satisfactory reply. If I am not satisfied, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. Warn you, don't let me take action personally, otherwise..."

After saying that, he left with his fingers.

Yang Pan's style of being harmonious in the moment before and turning against each other in the moment was unexpected by everyone.

The two purple-clothed policemen didn't care much. After all, they were guilty of dereliction of duty and not being investigated. This crime would be deducted, which was a little bit of a contribution for them, such as the purple-clothed policemen.

They are absolutely not involved in the serious crime of smuggling military weapons.

They were born into a casual cultivator and did not have any family fatigue. If they were fed by one person, the whole family would not be hungry. In addition to their own cultivation, the rest were basically without desires or demands.

The benefits obtained by smuggling military weapons cannot allow them to break through to the Grand Master's cultivation, so they will naturally not participate.

It doesn't matter to you, just hold on high.

The two of them looked at the two elders of the Long family and the Fan family and couldn't help but gloat.

Although the two purple-clothed policemen did not participate in the smuggling of military weapons, they were not fools. The entire Datong has the strength to smuggle a large number of military weapons onto the grassland. In addition to the Long family and the Fan family, are there other forces?

"You two may be very busy these days, so we won't leave two of you. Please give yourself the help." Captain Li and Captain Han chuckled softly, then said goodbye and left first, and greeted two yamen runners to entertain the two.

The dozens of military weapons on the scene did not touch them.

The two elders looked at each other, picked up the weapons on the ground, and studied them carefully.

The elder of the Fan family breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This weapon was not exported by his own workshop. Although the weapons exported by the two weapons workshops were the same, due to the differences in forging methods and technology, there were still subtle differences in the weapons produced by the two families. The most obvious thing is that the patterns of the weapons were different.

As long as you are an expert, you can recognize him at a glance.

Although the Fan family and the Long family are both engaged in the transaction of smuggling military weapons, they are not the same one and the direction of sales is different.

The Long family sells it to the northwest, while the Fan family sells it to the northeast.

This is also a compromise that I had secretly negotiated back then in order not to have conflicts.

The elder of the Fan family is most worried about the people below. People are not satisfied with their hearts and swallow elephants and touch the boundaries.

Fortunately, even if some of the people below do this, it is impossible to ship in large quantities.

As long as it is not shipped in large quantities, the Fan family still has room for improvement.

Now it’s even better. If these weapons are not from the Fan family, then they naturally have nothing to do with the Fan family.

As for the Long family, what's the matter with the Guan Fan family?

A fellow Taoist who dies will not die.

The two families occupy Shanxi Road, and there have been many open and secret struggles for thousands of years. If the Long family is in trouble, the Fan family will naturally have benefits.

Even the two families have had in-law transactions over the past century and have close contacts.

Cooperation is more than confrontation.

But so what? The aristocratic family is ruthless.

As long as there is a chance, the Fan family will never mind stepping on the Long family and kicking the Long family into the abyss, and it will never be restored.
