Chapter 327: Summoning vassals
The tranquility before leaving Feiliu City was full of people walking by in a hurry on the streets, on the avenues, and even on the main roads that left the city and entered the city. Under the moonlight, they could clearly see that they were wearing the uniforms of the Zhuang family. Among them were ordinary soldiers and dead soldiers in the family. At this moment, they were shuttled through the streets and alleys of Feiliu City, and were capturing the cannon fodder that had previously attacked Wang Sancai and others and escaped.
In the Zhuang family's manor, the old housekeeper Zhuang Mude had already released all the pigeons in the manor and notified the vassals from all over the country to come to the manor to discuss.
By dawn, on the avenue leading to Feiliu City, it had been occupied by various luxurious horse-drawn carriages. The owners of these carriages were vassals of the Zhuang family. They were responsible for agriculture and planning, but more were lords holding great power in their hands.
While rushing to the road, the owner of the carriage opened the window and poked his head out and asked in a low voice whether he knew why the patriarch summoned him, but no one got the answer and his heart was still covered by doubts.
And the only thing they are in common is that they are not far from Feiliu.
As for those city lords who were farther away, etc., Zhuangyan did not ask Zhuang Mude to send the news.
Although those city lords and others belong to the Zhuang family in name, they are relatively economically and politically due to their long distances, and are already considered to be separatist.
If the Zhuang family in the Western Region had not encountered major problems, they would not usually express their opinions. Whether they came or not is of little significance for internal troubles like the ones they have come. Moreover, if they all arrived, they would probably not know how many days have passed.
Considering that they were part of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Yan planned to send them a message after the processing was completed, even if he said hello.
Wang Sancai is now sitting in the "Punishment Hall" in the manor. The face of the Punishment Hall is very active, and the servants have lit up candles. With one strange face after another, he walked into the brilliantly lit punishment hall. Wang Sancai also learned from the notice from the servants outside that the person walking into the hall.
As a daughter, Zhuang Biyun was unable to participate in such occasions. Although Aning was a party involved, she did not belong to the Zhuang family. In addition, she was injured and could not participate in this punishment. Although Li Lanqi agreed with the conditions for participation, she was too serious and could not come to participate. Zhuang Yan had selected the best doctors in the clan and sent them to Li Lanqi and Aning.
At this moment, except for the vassals who came from all over the world who heard the news, there were only Zhuang Yan, Wang Sancai, Mr. Long and the most core witness - Wang Yuanfang.
Zhuangyan had already changed into formal clothes and her hair was neatly combed. Mr. Long sat next to him, holding a small folding fan and sang leisurely and looked at the people in the hall seriously.
Wang Sancai had already changed his clothes and washed away the blood on his body happily. He looked at Wang Yuanfang, who was restless beside him, gave him a look and told him not to be too nervous.
Wang Yuanfang calmly focused her head at Wang Sancai. After returning, Zhuang Yan first brought Wang Yuanfang and Li Lanqi's family to the manor. While Wang Yuanfang was relieved to see his relatives safely, he also solved the problem of his wife's unsolved yuhuo.
Now, his wife had already fallen asleep with satisfaction. He had no concern or even no worries. However, this was the first time he had participated in such a major event in his life. As a core witness, it would be abnormal if he was not nervous.
There are many seats in the punishment hall, and there are at least fifty seats. These fifty seats have been classified and divided into areas. There is a small coffee table in the middle of each two seats, and there are two names on the coffee table. When the vassals walked in, servants led them to their positions.
Although the entire manor was busy, the punishment hall was very quiet. Zhuang Yan didn't speak, and no one took the initiative to discuss it. All the vassals who took the seat sat quietly in their seats, looking at Zhuang Yan's head with a serious expression. Many people looked at Wang Sancai and Wang Yuanfang beside Zhuang Yan in confusion, guessing their identities and the purpose of convening them this time.
As the vassals took their seats, the servants also brought tea, but none of them had the intention of drinking tea, and they all looked at the solemn and solemn people on the head seat.
Finally, at the moment when dawn approached, the old butler Zhuang Mude told Zhuang Yan that all the vassals who had notified them had arrived at the scene. The vassals who had traveled one day did not take action, but had already put back the carrier pigeons, indicating that they were concerned about the development of the matter, but Mr. Hai, who should have arrived in the first batch, is still in the future.
As the light outside gradually became brighter, solemnly waved his hand to indicate that he would not wait any longer, so he asked the old butler Zhuang Mude to close the heavy door of the punishment hall. There was no window in the hall. The heavy door immediately seemed to isolate the outside world. Only seriousness was left in the entire punishment hall, and needles could be heard.
Zhuang Yan slowly stood up, he glanced at the audience and said aloud to everyone in the hall: "I believe you still don't know why I summon you. I know your doubts and confusion. Please allow me to apologize to you and not take the carrier pigeons away."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and saw that everyone was not dissatisfied, so he continued: "Everyone knows the meaning of the existence of the Punishment Hall. In addition to judging the enemy, it is to punish traitors. This matter is a shame for our Zhuang family. As the patriarch, I have no reason to leak it out, so..."
"Dong!Dong!" Two dull sounds suddenly broke the solemn words.
Zhuang Yan immediately looked at the gate in a voice, nodded to the guard guard guard who was guarding the door and said, "Open the door."
The Chief of the Soldier bowed to take the order, then opened the heavy door, and the old butler Zhuang Mude also poked his head out. He walked further into the hall, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Class Chief, Lord Hai Tianqing, ask for a visit."
A hint of anger flashed across Zhuang Yan's face: "Let him wait outside again!! Don't he know the rules?!"
However, Wang Sancai heard the helplessness in Zhuang Yan's tone. He knew that keeping Mr. Hai by his side proved Mr. Hai's status. However, when it was involved in such a formal occasion, Mr. Hai, who should have been the first to come, has just returned. While this Zhuang Yan cannot bear the face, he cannot give an explanation to everyone present.
But Zhuang Mude hesitated for a moment, suddenly looked up and said, "Class leader, Lord Hai Tianqing seems to have encountered some trouble, so he is here now."
The solemn face looked a little better. He saw that the vassals present had no dissatisfaction. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let him come in."
Zhuang Mude bowed and retreated, and then Mr. Hai walked in. As he stepped into the hall door, the heavy gate was once again closed by the Chief Guard.
But Mr. Hai is so embarrassed now!!
He had stains on his face, his hair was disheveled, and his body was wearing leather armor. Wearing leather armor on formal occasions was disrespectful to others, but everyone found that the leather armor on his body was damaged, and even his arms and waist had blood stains that were not too late to dry.
