Chapter 266 Seek Redress Of Grievances

The wind in Chang'an City has been crying lately.

At first, Xu Han handed over a memorial to the Yin Clan that was corrupt and perverted the law and harmed Zhongliang.

The things recorded above were conclusive evidence, and the Yin Clan admitted it without hesitation. Hundreds of direct descendants of the Yin Clan, including Yin Cheng, were imprisoned and awaited their autumn beheading, while dozens of elders and younger ones of the Yin Clan were granted extrajudicial kindness and sent to Jizhou.

Xu Han explained that although the Yin Clan had committed a serious crime and should have been exterminated, this matter had nothing to do with the younger generation.

And…

When Yin Cheng came to his senses, he also provided him with a piece of evidence that involved other clans in Chang'an forming parties for personal gain, or even monopolizing the government.

This trip made up for his mistakes and gave the Yin Clan a chance to survive.

After this matter was spread out, it could be said that the government and the public were shaken.

The ministers with ghosts in their hearts were all in danger, but the commoners exchanged praises for Xu Han. They were even more looking forward to the so-called evidence provided by the Yin Family in Xu Han's hands. What exactly was it?

Those who had the intention naturally wanted to take revenge on the Yin Clan, wanting to get rid of the Yin Clan's elders and young ones. However, when they arrived at the Yin Clan's courtyard, they discovered that the Yin Clan's elders and young ones had long since disappeared. Perhaps Xu Han had arranged this matter to send them away long ago. After thinking about it carefully, the dispatch the Yin Clan had made a few days ago to protect themselves seemed to be coordinated with Xu Han's repatriation of the old and young.

Knowing this, the clans were even more fearful of this Manor Chief Xu.

Whether it was Xu Han's schemes or his ruthless wrists, they had far exceeded everyone's expectations.

What they didn't expect was that after this incident, Xu Han even posted a bounty order in front of Tiance Prefecture's mansion. As long as someone could provide evidence that the Chang'an clan's nobles had committed a crime, Tiance Prefecture would not only give them a heavy reward, but would also be willing to safely escort the surrendees to Jizhou.

One had to know that Jizhou was Xu Han's territory, and the clerks of the Long Night Division couldn't do anything about it.

But even so, this method still couldn't really make those who held the evidence dare to risk offending the Long Night Division and surrender to Xu Han.

Xu Han himself had predicted this. What he was doing was simply to shake the tigers and to tell those who wanted to play tricks not to be too rampant. At the same time, it also intimidated the swaying people and told them of the determination of the Tian Ce Mansion to fight against the Long Night Division.

Of course, doing so would undoubtedly offend the public, but Xu Han finally understood this matter.

Regardless of what he did, for so many years, the Long Night Division had already colluded with the Chang'an Clan's aristocratic families. They were destined to be enemies. Whether or not they put on an open face to Xu Han was actually no different.

"Thank you, Benefactor, for avenging our blood."

Within the Tian Ce Mansion, five beautiful women knelt down to Xu Han and said with excitement on their faces.

"Get up." Xu Han waved his hand, "I only saved you to deal with the Yin Family."

"You helped me take down the Yin Clan, and each of you has his own needs. However, I believe that the people from the Long Night Division will not let you off. Have you all thought of where you should go next?"

Xu Han paused for a moment before continuing, "If you are willing, I can send someone to escort you to Jizhou, where the sky is high and the earth is far away. I don't think the Longevity Division will be able to make things difficult for you."

The five women exchanged glances at each other at that time and hurriedly said to Xu Han, "Benefactor owes us a debt of gratitude to save our lives first, and then blood feud. We are unwilling to leave. We want to stay by Benefactor's side and serve Benefactor."

'"Eh" Xu Han was stunned. He didn't expect the five of them to say such words.

Although the current Tian Ce Prefecture was clearly fighting against the Long Night Division, all of this was superficial. As long as Zhu Xian rebuilt his Azure Dragon Army, the next step would be to attack the Tian Ce Prefecture. It would not be an exaggeration to stay here for the rest of his life.

However, these five women had originally risked their lives to obtain this certification, and their temperament was indeed several times higher than an ordinary person's.

However, before Xu Han could respond to the five of them, two sharp gazes landed on Xu Han.

However, it was Ye Hongjian and Qin Keqing. At this moment, their gazes were as sharp as sharp as a sharp edge. They weren't much more panicked than the Heavenly Hunt Realm swordsmen. It seemed that as long as Xu Han dared to nod in agreement, the two of them would give Xu Han a violent explosion.

Xu Han felt somewhat guilty. He pretended to cough calmly twice and said, "Chang'an is dangerous. You are all women again."

"Benefactor, we have made up our minds. If Benefactor does not allow us to do so, then we will not be able to get up from our knees for a long time."

One of the green-clothed women said at that time, and her body suddenly knelt down.

When the other four saw this, they all knelt down and said, "Benefactor, please fulfill your wish!"

The five of them were extremely resolute, which caught Xu Han off guard.

"This matter" he muttered.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again.

"You want to stay? My Tian Ce Mansion doesn't support idle people." The one who spoke was Ye Hongjian, who hadn't spoken before.

The women exchanged glances and hurriedly said.

"We can learn! We are willing to do anything."

"How about this?" Ye Hongjian nodded. "What if I can't learn it well?"

"You should leave." The few of them spoke in unison.

"Alright!" Ye Hongjian's face immediately revealed a smile. "Big Brother Chu, please arrange a place for them."

When Chu Chouli heard this, he naturally had no intention of objecting. As for the women who had obtained their wish, their faces were filled with joy.

"Remember, from tomorrow onwards, you will gather at the martial arts arena every day. If you arrive late, please keep your promise."

At that moment, Ye Hongjian's expression darkened as she looked at them with a solemn expression.

Seeing her like this, the women guessed that Ye Hongjian's training would not be simple.

"Yes!" However, they quickly regained their senses and nodded heavily towards Ye Hongjian before leaving with Chu Chouli.

…

After waiting for a few women, Xu Han walked up.

"Thank you." He said softly, his tone extremely sincere.

"Thank you for what? Do you really think I'll keep them?" Ye Hongjian, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at Xu Han fiercely. The dissatisfaction in her eyes could be said to be unconcealed.

"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned, but he did not understand what Ye Hongjian meant.

"If you forcefully chase them away, they will definitely be unwilling. If Pan Heng stays in Chang'an for a long time and is known by the people of the Long Night Division, they will inevitably be killed." Ye Hongjian said indifferently, "I left them here to make them leave willingly."

Only then did Xu Han realize that Ye Hongjian was scheming like this. Thinking about it like this, the so-called training that she spoke of was probably not an easy task.

He was just about to say something.

Dong!

Dong!

However, at that time, a loud drum sound came from the direction of the Tian Ce Mansion 's entrance.

That was the drum of grievance at the entrance of the Heavenly Policy

After Xu Han posted the bounty order, he placed a big drum at the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion. The intention was also obvious, that was, to make those who surrendered to the court sound their drums to settle their grievances.

However, Xu Han also knew that no one would be able to report those clans of Chang'an City. After all, once they did so, they would inevitably incur a calamity of murder. As for whether the Tian Ce Mansion could deal with such a calamity, most of them were not optimistic about it.

But now, five days after the notice was posted, the grievance drum sounded.

Xu Han and the others exchanged glances. They all saw astonishment in each other's eyes, but they hurriedly rushed towards the Tian Ce Mansion Sect together with the others.

This matter should not be careless. If someone really complained, regardless of whether it was big or small, Xu Han had to do it beautifully so as to give those who were watching secretly some confidence. As long as the people in the city believed that the Tian Ce Mansion had the ability to do so, it was impossible for the Gu and Zhao families and the Zhao Clan to not know anything about the dirty negotiations they had done in Chang'an.

However, when Xu Han and the others arrived at the entrance of the manor, the drummer in front of them caused Xu Han and the others to be stunned.

It was a teenager who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. His face was stained with blood and his right arm shrugged. He seemed to have suffered some injuries, but he was unable to lift it. He gritted his teeth and used his left arm to lift the drum hammer that was somewhat heavy compared to his thin and weak figure. He knocked on the drum in front of him again and again.

When they saw the gate of the Tian Ce Mansion being pushed open, Xu Han and the others walked out.

The youth's expression immediately turned joyful and he was about to say something.

"Lord Prefecture Master, please help the grass dwellers" His face was full of tears, but before he could say anything, several figures suddenly rushed out from not far away.

"Liu Xiao! What are you doing!?" The few people who suddenly rushed out were tall and big, their expressions were fierce and fierce. They scolded like this, dragging the youth's clothes and about to leave.

The youth had apparently been severely beaten up before, and his aura was depressed at this moment. He was brutally pulled by those people, and his body fell to the ground. He was dragged to the ground and pulled several zhang away.

"Everyone, this is the Tian Ce Mansion." Xu Han frowned and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the faces of the men dressed as servants turned ugly. They originally wanted to leave as soon as possible with this youth, but they didn't want to provoke the people of the Tian Ce Mansion.

The middle-aged man in the lead could only brace himself and hurry forward. He smiled and cupped his hands towards Xu Han and said, "Lord Manor Master, this brat is a servant of my manor. There is something wrong with his head. Don't blame him. I will take him away now."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly winked at the people behind him, signaling them to quickly take the youth away.

However, how could such a small trick conceal Xu Han's eyes? His expression sank.

The few Tiance Prefecture soldiers beside him stepped forward. Seeing this, the faces of the servants who were extremely restraining the youth changed. Obviously, they did not dare to offend Tiance Prefecture with their identities. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, they could only let go and retreat to the side.

"Since you have beaten the drum of grievance, my Tian Ce Mansion has no reason to sit idly by. Come here and feel free to tell me what grievances you have."

Xu Han smiled at the youth.

The youth was stunned. He looked at Xu Han, then at the servants around him. His eyes were clearly hesitant.

Xu Han understood what he meant. He smiled again and said to the servants, "Everyone, please leave. I, Tiance Prefecture, don't have so many pairs of bowls and chopsticks. I don't care about your food."

"But" Seeing Xu Han issue the expulsion order, the middle-aged man in the lead was obviously unwilling to accept it.

"Huh?" At that moment, Xu Han's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The man's expression instantly changed. Finally, he did not dare to disobey Xu Han's intentions.

"Then I'll disturb you." He cupped his hands at Xu Han with an ugly expression before leading the others away in a sorry state.

…

When the group of people walked away, the youth knelt down in front of Xu Han with a thud.

"Lord Manor Master, please avenge the grassroots! Lord Manor Master, please save my sister!"
