Dai County,
Yang Mansion.
"Butler Shen, I think there are some good calligraphy and paintings in the study in the back hall. Can you give them to me? I'm willing to pay for them!"
The hall was very lively, and everyone was like a bandit randomly selecting the treasures of the Yang family in the front yard. One of the short men walked up to Butler Shen and flattered him.
"Xu Laosan, don't be so shameless. Those paintings and calligraphy in the study are priceless. I think Butler Shen should put them up for auction, and the one with the highest price will get them. In this way, the interests of the Shen family can be maximized, and it is fair for us. !”
Another man who also had his eye on those paintings and calligraphy came over and wouldn't give anything he couldn't get to the little one.
"I agree too. Butler Shen, please say something!"
"Yes! Good things should be put up for auction!"
. . . . . .
After learning that there was a priceless treasure in the Yang Mansion, everyone rushed forward and surrounded Butler Shen. Everyone wanted to take possession of it noisily, and some people who were eating melons also poked their heads to take a look.
Butler Shen was enjoying the pleasure brought by power. He was smiling and immersed in this rare good time with his eyes closed when he felt a pain in his neck and his head rolled several times on the ground.
Huh? !
Why is my body still there? !
Butler Shen's head followed Liang Xiaoyu's hand and fell, rolling like a rubber ball to the stone pillar in the hall before stopping. That fat body covered with fat, when Butler Shen looked at me in horror, Fall down slowly!
"Sorry everyone! I'm back!"
A group of heavily armed Heimuzhai brothers, under Yang Ming's instructions, all picked up the guys and started doing their job. Just like when he was robbing the house before, he showed a ferocious expression and drove everyone who wanted to come to the Yang family to get a piece of the pie into the hall.
Yang Mansion is in trouble!
"Butler Shen was killed?!"
"You're rude! Do you know who you killed?!"
"Child Yang, you are in for a big disaster!"
"If you dare to kill someone in broad daylight, what's the law?"
The dozens of families present, large and small, did not take Yang Ming seriously at all.
In their view, the Hongnong Yang family era is about to become a thing of the past. They have no strength to resist the siege of so many families. Moreover, Yang Ming just killed the steward of Shen Mansion.
With the Shen family taking the lead, what else is there to fear about this group of people? ! With such a big piece of fat reaching their mouths, they all wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.
"Xiao Wu, take out the list of aristocratic families who came to support that night, check which aristocratic families did not come, and distinguish them. Anyone who resists and does not cooperate will be killed on the spot!"
Yang Ming was very angry. There were no tigers in the mountains and the monkey was the king!
I want to provide disaster relief, but the relief targets are the people, not you bunch of white-eyed wolves!
"You can't do this! Your Yang family is destined to be defeated!"
"Yes! Now that your Yang family is in trouble, do you still want to offend the entire wealthy family in Dai County?!"
"If we don't cooperate, I don't believe this stupid kid really dares to kill us all!"
Xiao Wu took the brothers from Heimuzhai and wanted to distinguish this group of people. Unexpectedly, they encountered strong resistance. From physical contact to later pushing, the weapons in these people's hands did not dare to drop.
To be honest, killing a steward of the Shen family was fine for Yang Ming, but asking Yang Ming to order the killing of a group of prominent nobles in Dai County would be completely different.
Not to mention the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't explain it even if everyone said it!
Just when Yang Ming was having a headache for the food of these scoundrels, a shout came from outside the door:
"The imperial edict has arrived, Hongnong Yang Clan Yang Ming came out to greet it!"
The noise reached the backyard. When Shan Bo heard about it, he hurried out with a dozen servants carrying wooden sticks.
"Young Master! You are back!"
Yang Shan held Yang Ming's hands and looked left and right, carefully looking at the young master whom he had not seen for a long time. His eyes were red and his face was filled with tears.
"Yang Shan! Don't act for me. The imperial edict has arrived at your doorstep. If you still don't let your young master evacuate these thieves, are you, the Yang family, going to be enemies of the entire Dai County nobles?!"
"Haha! Not bad! Get rid of this bunch of rubbish quickly. I look disgusting, like a beggar, dressed so shabbily! I will have to get some new clothes from the backyard to compensate for it later!"
"How about we call in the servants and guards from each family later and let the young master of the Yang family see if the current Yang family can withstand the thunderous wrath of all the noble families in our Dai County!"
After Yang Shan appeared, the situation at the scene became even more chaotic.
Some bullied Yang Ming because he was younger and wanted to use Yang Shan to get the blame, some insulted the Heimuzhai brothers for their unsatisfactory life and the wrong master, and some even directly clamored to send out the family's guards to have a duel with the Yang family!
"1, 2, 3, 4... a total of 48 people."
"Husband, I have recently been exploring a new set of sword techniques, but I lack opportunities for actual combat. There are 48 people here, how about you let me try the new moves!"
Lin Wan'er pulled out the dagger from her waist and was eager to try it!
Liang Xiaoyu's long sword was one inch longer than an ordinary sword, while Lin Waner's short sword was more than an inch shorter than a regular sword.
"Insolent! We are all lawless. The imperial edict has arrived at our doorstep, but no one comes to receive it, and they are intercepting it at all levels. Are you planning to rebel?!"
An old eunuch holding a fly whisk, protected by several palace guards, broke into Yang's house, scolding the Yang family for their faults as he walked.
After the group of nine people entered the door, they all walked with their noble heads raised, looking shameful and arrogant and not putting everyone in their eyes at all.
Forehead! The atmosphere doesn't seem right? !
Taking a quick look, the hall is packed with people. What's going on? ! The Yang family is fighting? !
"How outrageous, do you really want to rebel?! When you see an angel, why don't you kneel down and listen to the order?!"
The guard drew his sword and pointed it at everyone present angrily.
"Yang Ming of Caomin Hongnong accepts the order!"
Yang Ming leaned forward and bowed respectfully to the old eunuch. Everyone else just looked here, unmoved.
The kneeling ceremony in the Tang Dynasty was always only for ordinary people. It seemed that only the people paid homage to their officials, while wealthy nobles did not even kneel when they saw officials. However, officials in the Tang Dynasty were even allowed to sit down when they went to court.
How come in the Tang Dynasty, there are so many people who always kneel down and worship? They are all deceiving children.
The old eunuch found it very boring, so he did not pursue the matter further. He unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud:
"The family is the foundation of the world... Yang Ming, the eldest son of the Yang family, is specially given as the founding son of the county, with a settlement of 500 households, an official position of the fifth rank, and the initial appointment of General Ningyuan..."
"Jianguo County?!"
"Positive fifth grade?!"
"General Ningyuan?!"
"Aren't you here to cause trouble?! Why did you get promoted to a higher rank?!"
The heads of the various families in the hall were buzzing, and they were frowning in private and talking very intensely. Fortunately, this angel came early, otherwise it would not have ended.
"Be outrageous! No noise during the reading of the imperial edict!"
The old eunuch was almost furious. He had been working as an eunuch for two dynasties and had never seen such a miserable situation.
"May I ask what you call the chamberlain?"
When Yang Ming stood up to receive the order, he inadvertently put his hand into the old eunuch's sleeve.
Well! so big! So light! Is he also a Marquis after all? !
I came all the way from Chang'an to do this job, what the hell did you get me into!
The old eunuch had a dark face and couldn't help but look into his sleeves curiously when handing over the edict.
I’ll be good, Liuli? !
The old eunuch couldn't believe his eyes. He turned his back and looked at it again while wiping his sweat. A crystal clear glazed rabbit appeared in front of him.
"Ahem, cough, cough! I would like to congratulate you, Lord Marquis, on the crown prince's love. I hope you will support me more in the future! I am tired of traveling and traveling, and if your behavior is inappropriate, I hope Lord Marquis will forgive you!"
Damn it! The speed of changing faces!
I really don’t have a woman in my heart, I’m a god of nature!
Yang Ming had sharp eyes and walked directly in front of several palace guards. After looking at the leader who had drawn the sword just now, he punched his arms with a small fist, scaring everyone present out of their wits.
"Is this kid crazy?!"
"I think this boy from the Yang family is nothing more than that. He has a arrogant nature. He has just been awarded a title from the world, and yet he dares to attack the emperor's guards?! He is so bold and arrogant that he will not survive more than a few episodes!"
"Husband, think twice!"
"Is Mr. Yang crazy?!"
When everyone was confused, they saw the guard's facial expression changing very quickly. From angry to playful and smiling, the performance is vivid and vivid in an instant.
He sheathed his sword in one breath, clasped his fists and bowed to Yang Ming, saying:
"The villain Meng Lang actually drew his sword in front of the Marquis. I hope the Marquis won't take offense!"
Whoever comes out to fool around has no eyesight to see that the old eunuch has passed menopause after being stuffed like this by Yang Ming. The young Lord Hou put a lot of things into his arms just now! This gift shouldn’t be too bad!
. . . . . .
"What just happened?!"
"That boy named Yang hit the emperor's guard?!"
"Damn it! Is this against the will of heaven?!"
"Liu Feng from Daixian County congratulates the Marquis. The revival of the Yang family is just around the corner!"
"On behalf of the Fu family of the county, I congratulate the Marquis on his enthronement!"
. . . . . .
After questioning one after another, people in the hall immediately stepped forward to flatter him!
Yang Ming pointed to the white cloth all over the room and said to the old eunuch:
"Master Ma, there was an assassination at Xiaohou's home, and there were heavy casualties among the people in the mansion. My father's life and death are still unclear, so I can't help Master Ma. I hope you will forgive me!"
At the moment, Ma Huateng's mind was focused on the glazed rabbit in his arms. How could he be in the mood to eat, drink, and have fun? He wanted to rush back to the inn immediately and play with this rare toy seriously, so he replied:
"What did the Marquis say? The Tang Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. If an elder in the family is injured, the Marquis should take good care of him. I will leave first. I also hope that the Marquis can help convey the greetings to Mr. Yang!"
"Sir Wan, it seems that there are still some unsettled matters in the Marquis's house. Your Majesty has told me that the Marquis is the great auspiciousness of the Tang Dynasty, and his rich body must not be humiliated. I hope Sir Wan can help me!"
Ma Huateng knew in his heart that Wan Santie must have received the benefits, otherwise with this reckless character, he would have pretended to be a grandson all of a sudden just now. It seems that this money is still omnipotent!
The leading guard of the palace winked at his subordinates, who blew a whistle, and the sound of noisy footsteps and scoldings rumbled immediately outside the palace.
"Young Master, a group of soldiers came outside and surrounded the Yang Mansion. They want to drive us all away. What should we do?!"
Li Xiaoliu, the team leader who was temporarily in charge of commanding Heimuzhai, rushed in with a knife and reported to Yang Ming the situation outside.
Wan San, the young commander of the Ouchi Guards, walked over respectfully and said:
"Xiaoguan Wansan is ordered by the Emperor to lead the five hundred elites of the Tang Dynasty to protect the safety of the Marquis and help the Marquis solve all problems in life! If the Marquis is dispatched, the sword will point and the soldiers will direct!"
Wan San also wanted to make things difficult for the young Marquis, but he didn't expect that he could take care of the old eunuch with just one move! It doesn't seem like a good thing. It's better to do less than to do more. It's okay to make more friends!
"What?! The young master has become a marquis? The young master has been promoted to a higher rank?!"
Li Xiaoliu was so moved that he almost cried. Taoist Sun was right. I am destined to be rich and noble. When I meet a noble person, I will be able to achieve the Tao, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. Our young master has been promoted to a higher rank in the blink of an eye. Wouldn’t it be possible for our servants to run amok in Dai County from now on!
This drama caused many families to collapse in the hall.
Most of them carried stools and ate at the door for a long time that night. Not even a single servant was sent to Yang's house to find out the news. Where could the brave assassins come to rescue the Yang family.
Today they came with the intention of carving up the Yang family. . .
