Coming to the Yao family's compound again, looking at the familiar gate and courtyard wall, Yang Zhen actually had a feeling that things were wrong, although it was only a month since he last came here. The environment of the Yao family's compound www.biquge.info has not changed at all, but it seems lifeless, and you can't hear anyone talking in the courtyard, you must know that it is now in the morning, let alone the sound of silk and bamboo music that Yang Zhen heard that day.

Yang Zhen and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, quite satisfied with the scene in front of them, which was exactly what they wanted to see. After sorting out his mood, Yang Zhen knocked on the knocker on the door, and only after a long time did a trembling doorman come to answer the door, after learning that they were from the county government, he was obviously frightened: "A few messengers...... Why do you want to send someone here? The tone was full of respect, and there was no longer the domineering of the past.

"I can't say this to you, you can ask the Yao family to come out and answer the matter!" Yang Zhen sold Guanzi. The man was already a frightened bird now, how could he dare to hold them up, so he immediately let them go to the gatehouse to wait for a while, and he went inside to report.

"It's just the tolerance of the county government? Eighty percent of them saw that our family was in trouble to fight the autumn wind, and they dared to ask us to go out and talk back, what kind of people did they think they were! Yao Changsong, who had been full of anger and worry these days, was a little angry at that time: "Just say that Master Ben has important things and has no time to see them, tell them to get out!" "The huge psychological gap makes him seem particularly sensitive and irritable.

"Dad, no!" Fortunately, Yao Zhongguang was still there, and he immediately stopped the doorman who wanted to go back and do it: "Dad, now that our Yao family is in a worrying situation, we can't offend those officials anymore!" ”

"Why, I'm still afraid that such villains won't succeed? If he Wu Yuan comes to the door by himself, I will meet him and see what he has to say. As for those errands, how dare they do me? ”

"Dad, Hades is so difficult to deal with. Who knows if they came here on the order of Wu County to talk about the eldest brother and Shu Guang, if they were sent in this way, it would be difficult to hear the news from the county government. Although those people said that they were willing to help dredge up, I always felt that their words were not credible, and it was better for us to rely on ourselves. If you think it's a loss of identity to see a few yacha at this time, then my son and I will talk to them, and you can just listen behind the screen. Yao Zhongguang said with good words.

Yao Changsong was persuaded by him like this, and his irritability calmed down a little, so he had to say: "Then you will send them." If you really came to fight the autumn wind, then ...... them" was typed out of his mouth, thinking that the two sons were still good or bad, he finally changed his words and said: "You just watch and send them away with some money." ”

"Yes, my son told them to go to the study to talk, and my father can go there and wait now."

"Study?" Yao Changsong frowned, but then agreed: "It's okay, you can go." ”

After waiting in the gatehouse for a while, Yang Zhen and the three of them were welcomed in by a steward of the Yao family. Although the steward still smiled a little at them, he looked very reluctant, and it was obvious that these Yao family members were also full of uneasiness. And when they walked all the way to the study, they even bumped into some Yao family members who were gathering together idlely, talking about something in a whisper.

The strong contrast between the large courtyard and the quiet environment makes the Yao family seem a little decayed.

"The Yao family's hearts are completely scattered, and now they are just waiting for the government to give them the final blow." Yang Zhen secretly calculated in his heart, but his footsteps did not pause at all. Suddenly, his steps were sluggish, and his gaze swept to the open space on the side of the corridor, where five big men were watching them with wariness.

Several other people also noticed his strange appearance and followed his gaze. The steward frowned, as if he was very disgusted with these people, but quickly explained with a smile: "Poor master, these are our family's caretakers, although they look vicious, they are good people. ”

"Oh, really?" Yang Zhen said noncommittally, and didn't say anything more. He had recognized the origins of these big men, they were the outlander who had injured him before. Unexpectedly, the person who had nothing to do with the Yao family before has now become his family's nursing home.

Although Ruan and Wang had never met them, they had guessed a little bit by looking at Yang Zhen's expression, and immediately stared at them fiercely, as if they were provocative. However, the two sides were still some distance apart, and the hostility they showed could not be accurately transmitted to that side, and several people just watched them turn the corner without making any moves.

"In Xia Yao Zhongguang, I don't know what to call a few poor masters, and what are they here for?" At the door of the study, Yao Zhongguang was already waiting there, although he was facing a few servants, he still politely bowed his hand.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen secretly praised the other party's good cultivation in his heart, so he also returned the salute and reported the names of several of his people. At the same time, he carefully looked at the second son of the Yao family, he was about thirty years old, with a round face and a slight beard, looking at Lao Cheng with dignity, but there was some shrewdness between his eyebrows. As the de facto speaker of the Yao family in recent years, he is much calmer than his father and brothers.

Hearing him claim to be Yang Zhen, Yao Zhongguang's eyelids couldn't help jumping, and a feeling of uneasiness had already arisen from his heart: "Do you know Yang Chen, a student in the county school?" ”

"It's my brother." Yang Zhen did not hide it and replied calmly.

"Sure enough, it's him." Yao Zhongguang's heart sank even more, and he felt that it would be difficult to cope today. Although his family had calculated Yang Zhen and Yang Chen, they never paid attention to this young man who was only a gangster, so to this day, the father and son of the Yao family can't recognize Yang Zhen. And now that Yang Zhen suddenly came as a messenger, Yao Zhongguang, who was a thief, was inevitably secretly frightened.

Although he was even more vigilant in his heart, Yao Zhongguang did not show any emotion on his face, and still welcomed them into the study with a smile and a sigh of relief. After Yang Zhen sat down, he glanced at this study, and found that this room, which was about more than 80 square meters in later generations, was also elegantly arranged, not only a few ebony bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, a large landscape screen stood against the wall, and there were a lot of antique treasures on the Bogu shelves on both sides, and there was also a bronze incense burner placed not far in front of them, a wisp of cigarette smoke continued to spew out, and the breath filled the air It was very good.

But somehow, Yang Zhen always felt that the furnishings in this study looked a little awkward, and at the same time, in addition to the fragrance, there was also an indescribable incense smell here, which was a common smell in the temple, but how could I smell it here. However, this is not the time to delve into these irrelevant matters, Yang Zhen took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, before he said what he meant: "Young Master Yao, we are here on the orders of Wu Zhixian. In order to find out how many people your Yao family has now. Please gather the whole family and let us count. ”

"Huh? What does this mean in Wuzhi County? Yao Zhongguang's face changed, and although he had guessed something, he still asked.

"Don't you know that your two sons-in-law tried to cheat in Wuchang Township? This matter is so big that even the imperial court is alarmed, and the provincial capital will soon send someone to deal with it. And before that, our duty is to ensure that no one in the Yao family can leave. Today, we came to count the number of people, and if there is any missing person in the future, you will have to ask. Yang Zhen did not euphemistically say his intention at all.

This made Yao Zhongguang's face even darker, he didn't take the Yao family seriously at all when he spoke like this. But as long as there is still some affection, they don't dare to be so straightforward, and even today's count of the number of people is just like this, as long as the Yao family reports a number. Now that he wants to gather everyone and count them, isn't that bullying the Yao family?

This is also the reason why those old fritters in the county government are unwilling to come to do this. If you do it seriously, if you offend the Yao family, they won't have good fruit to eat. After all, they are still on other people's territory, and the other party can find a reason to let the family have a conflict with them, not to mention being beaten, but also to bear the responsibility, and they will be punished by the county order when they go back. But if they get through the tricks, they can get some benefits here in the Yao family, but they can't afford to go wrong afterwards. How dare these people take on such a dilemma?

After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he also looked at Yao Zhongguang to see if he would be angry. But after the man in his thirties was slightly angry, he quickly calmed down: "I see, the three of them are also duty, if my Yao family refuses to do it, it will be disrespectful to the government." However, our Yao family is a big place, and there are a lot of people, and it will take some time to gather all the people, so please move to the outer courtyard, and I will inform you. ”

"Okay, then there will be the second son of Lao." Yang Zhen was slightly surprised, but still nodded yes.

Yang Zhen and the three of them were taken to the outer courtyard again, which was the open space where they had seen several strong men just now. But by this time they had gone. The foreign steward also said that something was wrong and left, and at this time only the three of them were standing.

"Erlang, what do you think they will do?" Ruan Tong looked around, and couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart.

"It's hard to say. But the text is right, Wu Lai Wu Ying, I'm afraid he won't succeed? Yang Zhen said indifferently: "This Yao Zhongguang also has some bearing, even if I said that, he didn't turn his face on the spot." ”

"Actually, you can say something even more ugly, see what he can do!" Wang Hai snorted.

"Hey, we're from the government now, it's not the original time, we have to have some identity." Yang Zhen said with a smile. Suddenly, his smile narrowed, and he turned his head to look at the path behind him: "It seems that today is not good." ”

Before his words fell, more than twenty big men had already rushed over from there with sticks!
