Hou Cheng's face darkened and he said coldly: "Prefect Han, are you threatening Hou by saying this?"

Han Jian broke into a cold sweat and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I have no such intention."

Even though Han Jiangui was the governor of a county, he couldn't hold his head high in front of Hou Cheng. The prime minister's servant was a seventh-grade official, and he was really not fake at all.

"There is no best. You have to solve the problem yourself. Since this matter happened in Hedong County, then Han Taishou should handle it yourself. This matter has nothing to do with our Yipinju. Han Taishou had better be cautious.

Be careful in your words and deeds. You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense." Hou Cheng's words clearly contained a warning.

Han Jian was completely stunned. He took a few steps back and collapsed there.

Hou Cheng's attitude was clear that he wanted to stay out of the matter and asked Han Jian to handle it on his own. How to deal with it? Selling illegal salt was a serious crime. Since Cao Liang had already captured Han Zhang, he would definitely not let it go.

This time I came to Anyi, it was for him.

To take a step back, even if Cao Liang ignores this matter, he will definitely bring it to the court. General Cao Shuang will definitely send people to investigate the matter thoroughly when he is angry. Han Jian will inevitably die.

"Shopkeeper Hou, my life is definitely in danger. If Master Sima can come forward and say something, maybe"

Hou Cheng interrupted him coldly and said: "Why, at this time, Governor Han is still thinking about dragging Taifu Sima into trouble? What kind of identity is Taifu Sima? Don't say that he doesn't know, even if he really knows it

, is it possible that you want to tell the world that Taifu Sima is a illicit salt dealer? If you ruin Taifu Sima’s reputation, not only will you not be able to be saved, I’m afraid that dozens of members of your Han family will not be able to save it.

Got it!"

Han Jian felt cold all over his body and shuddered involuntarily, saying: "My family members don't know about it, so we shouldn't harm them no matter what."

A stern look flashed in Hou Cheng's eyes, and he sneered: "Whether they are safe or not depends on Prefect Han's thoughts. This case can be big or small. If it really gets big, then

I'm afraid that Taifu Sima will show up, and it's hard to guarantee that your family will come."

Han Jian knelt down on the ground in despair, his face ashen. Hou Cheng's meaning could not be clearer. Someone must be blamed for this private salt case. Yipinju and the Sima family had to stay out of the matter, and Han Jian no matter what

There is no way to escape this disaster.

Judging from Hou Cheng's implication, if Han Jian can take the initiative to take the blame, they can save his family. If Hou Cheng insists on dragging the Sima family down, then the Han family will be wiped out.

Of course Han Jian knew that the Sima family's energy was naturally unimaginable. If the Sima family wanted to protect him, it would definitely be possible. But the problem was that Sima Yi, as the Taifu, was definitely not willing to go here.

Those who wade through troubled waters and sell private salt can only do it in private. If everyone in the world knows about it, Sima Yi's reputation will be greatly affected.

Compared with Sima Yi's reputation, his own life is of course nothing. At this time, it is natural for the Sima family to abandon their soldiers and protect their commanders.

Han Jian sat in silence for a long time. When he looked up again, Hou Cheng had disappeared. Hou Cheng had already made his attitude clear, so there was no need to stay here anymore.

"Prefect Han, Pingbei General Cao Liang is asking for an audience outside the gate." A servant came in to report.

Han Jian's heart skipped a beat. Cao Liang really came so quickly. It seemed that he was going to come after all, and there was no way he could escape.

"Bring the guests to the central hall and wait on them well. After I take off my clothes, I will go and greet them." Han Jian said calmly and authentically.

The servant responded, turned around and went down.

Han Jian immediately closed the door, returned to the middle of the room, looked at the beams, sighed softly, and took off the ribbon wrapped around his waist.

The official of Erqianshi wore a blue ribbon with a silver seal. This green ribbon represented Han Jian's identity. Holding this ribbon, he couldn't help but feel in a trance. He was able to climb to this position. Han Jian came out.

It took a lot of effort, but he never thought that one day he would use this ribbon to end his own life.

Han Jian gave a sad smile. At this point, he had no way to turn back. If he didn't die today, he would not be the only one to die in the future.

Han Jian threw the green ribbon to the beam. Because his hands were shaking, he threw it three or four times before passing the ribbon through the beam.

Then he stepped on some cases and tied the ribbon into a tight knot. While holding the knot, he hesitated and struggled for a long time, but finally he stuck his head in...

Cao Liang, riding lightly and quickly, led the vanguard of the Yueqi battalion to Anyi quickly.

Such a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared at the gate of Anyi City, which indeed caused panic among the people in the city. After Cao Liang revealed his identity, the officers and soldiers guarding the city naturally did not dare to stop them. Cao Liang led the troops straight to the prefect's mansion.

Although Cao Liang also knew that Han Jian was definitely involved in this illegal salt case, Han Jian was still the governor of Hedong until the court punished him. When Cao Liang arrived in Anyi, he naturally came to look for him first.

The private salt case will be investigated by special personnel sent by the imperial court. This does not require Cao Liang to worry about it. Cao Liang is more concerned about his recruitment of troops. He has agreed with Cao Shuang to send troops within a month, but now besides Vietnam

Outside the riding camp, there was no sign of other people and horses. The difficulty facing Cao Liang was really not small.

When he arrived at the prefect's house, he handed over his name card, and someone from the prefect's house welcomed him into the central hall. The servants said that Han Jian was changing clothes and would arrive later, so Cao Liang just waited.

But after waiting for almost half an hour, there was still no movement from Han Jian's side. Cao Liang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. It took such a long time, not to mention changing clothes, even taking a shower was more than enough.

Cao Liang got a little impatient with the waiting, so he urged the servant of the prefect's mansion who was waiting on the side: "Go and see if your prefect is ready."

The servant bent down and nodded in response, then went to the house behind.

But now that the people were gone, it took a long time. Cao Liang couldn't help but feel suspicious. What the hell was this Han Jian doing? Cao Liang stood up and prepared to go to the back house to take a look in person.
