The colorful silk fluttered, the breeze was slow, Yang Lin strode to the center of the high platform, raised his arms in front of the enthusiastic applause, and slowly waved his hands, signaling the crowd to calm down and listen to his words.

Yang Lin's every move seemed to exude some kind of magic, things were so strange and inexplicable, the crowd really quieted down, without the slightest noise, even Yang Jizhi in the audience closed his mouth at this time, looking at this cousin who he didn't deal with and was very disgusted.

The eyes of the crowd were full of energy, and they looked at this young man who had just completed the ritual and had just been crowned, and what he wanted to say had such an attraction and wanted people to listen.

"First of all, I would like to thank the patriarch and the elders of the clan for their support and care for me, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for being able to participate in and preside over today's coming-of-age ceremony!" Yang Lin bowed deeply to the four elders in the clan.

"Boom~!" The applause rose again, and was conquered by Yang Lin's humility, or there was an invisible big hand operating, pushing the atmosphere to go on slowly, with Yang Lin's words.

Yang Lin's back was straight, his chest was high, his mouth was slightly raised, and he said confidently to the crowd: "As long as it is the older generation of Jinhua Mansion, I believe that there is no one who does not know my Yang Mansion, and no one who does not know my father." ”

Then, Yang Lin's tone changed, his words changed, and he said sonorously: "Due to the early death of my father and my young age, Yang Mansion has gradually declined over the years, and few people mention it. “

"Hey~! What the hell are you going to say, such a big sun, won't we just listen to you talk about this! Someone in the crowd roared, and the smell of trouble filled the air.

Yang Yao and Yang Xiao behind him suddenly glared angrily, full of indignation, and wanted to ask what that person meant, why was he making trouble? As soon as there was a sign of it, Yang Lin, who was turned to look at him, stopped it with his eyes, and glared back fiercely. Yang Lin turned around and continued, a little self-reproachful: "That brother is right, I'm a little chattering~!" ”

After a pause, he said loudly: "The reason why I say this is to thank thirteen people. After their father died, they took over the family business and helped take care of it. And I have always promised that when I have a coming-of-age ceremony, it will be the day they hand it over! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people on and off the stage suddenly changed, but they didn't expect Yang Lin to say this in public. When the parties in the audience saw that things were not going well, they had to withdraw and make plans as soon as possible. However, Yang Lin's words rose again, and he quickly called out everyone's names.

"Thank you to these thirteen clansmen, they are the patriarch Yang Chengzhi, please come forward, please accept the most sincere thanks from the juniors!" Yang Lin said quickly.

At the same time, twelve small encirclements appeared in the audience, and the people in the circle were all people who wanted to leave. Yang Chengzhi on the stage also had a bitter face, he didn't expect to hunt geese all day long, but today he was pecked by geese, and he was still in the way of a yellow-mouthed child who had just become an adult.

Thirteen people wanted to leave, but in the face of the public, in full view, the twelve people in the audience had to go on stage and stand in the center of the stage with the patriarch Yang Chengzhi.

In every word of Yang Lin, they didn't feel a trace of sincerity, and they didn't feel the slightest happiness. They feel that every word Yang Lin says reveals sarcasm, and every sentence is ugly. As a party, outsiders may not know the grievances and entanglements, but don't they know it themselves? Yang Lin still doesn't know?

Coming to the front of the thirteen people, Yang Lin bowed deeply three times, smiled, and said emotionally and emphatically: "Thank you uncles and uncles, thank you for your help to me and my mother over the years, and for taking care of my family's business, the younger generation is very grateful, and I will definitely thank you uncles and uncles in the future!" ”

The faces of the thirteen people were bright, and their embarrassment was slightly revealed. Then, Yang Lin said: "Elders, the little nephew has reached adulthood, and the completion ceremony is held, I wonder if the uncles and uncles will hand over the management to the nephews now, or wait for the nephews to go with the elders and check and take over one by one?" "The persecution is strong, and it contains the aggressiveness.

At this time, the onlookers already smelled a trace of unusual meaning, and a faint smell of gunpowder was permeating.

Everyone saw that Yang Lin was still humble and respectful just now, but now he was forcing the elders to hand over their business, and at this time, only those upper-class people in Jinhua Mansion, who knew the grievances and entanglements, knew the reason and understood Yang Lin's attitude change. But they all laughed and didn't say anything, looking like they were watching the play.

In the face of Yang Lin's aggressiveness, there are so many people watching, how can they refuse? Otherwise, whether it is out of reason or public opinion, they are in a weak and disadvantageous position.

At this time, the thirteen people just wanted to fight a lawsuit and bribe the government, but it was difficult to block the mouths of the people, and the prefect Hong Antong did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world.

In line with the procrastination trick, the patriarch Yang Chengzhi reacted quickly, and quickly took over the conversation and said: "It's still a nephew who will check with us one by one, and the province has made some accounts unclear and unclear." ”

The tone is so weak, so reluctant, it smacks of hypocrisy. At the same time, Yang Chengzhi's words also revealed the meaning of the final counterattack, hoping that his son would judge the situation and leave immediately to handle things, and the same was true in the hearts of the twelve people.

However, among the children of the thirteen people, only Yang Jizhi stood under the stage, looking stunned, he didn't expect the development of things to evolve like this, and it took a sharp turn for the worse, completely exceeding expectations.

The children of the other twelve had no interest in watching the ceremony, or drinking in restaurants, or gambling in casinos, or merry-dining brothels, and no one came. This is also the reason why Yang Lin is so confident in providing the second option.

Seeing that the thirteen people answered so tacitly, or acquiesced, although Yang Lin didn't know all the thoughts in their hearts, he also knew the general idea, and he didn't break it, sneered in his heart, still with a smile on his face, and said: "I hope that my uncle and uncle will wait a little bit, and my nephew will make a conclusion, and then I will follow the elders to take over the family business." ”

In the middle of the situation, the thirteen people wished that Yang Lin would stay on the stage longer, so that their own side could have more time to carry out secret actions and minimize losses. However, they can't imagine that one wrong step, one wrong step, and things are not going the way they think.

Facing the audience again, he was about to make his last remarks, and when he was grateful, a commotion sounded, and the sound of pushing and shouting echoed.

Standing on the high platform, everyone could see it clearly, only to see a pair of officials appear in the distance of the onlookers, escorting a person to squeeze in. When he got closer, the man was dressed in the official mansion, and it was the prefect Hong Antong.

Yang Chengzhi's eyes lit up, he had a very good relationship with the prefect, and he was not less filial, even Yang Jizhi, who wanted to leave and realized that the situation was not good, stopped, and looked at the prefect who was suspected of joining in the fun, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Unbeknownst to him, there were several people around Yang Jizhi, looming in a closed circle, blocking his departure, and no one noticed it.

Because there were too many onlookers, Hong Antong advanced very slowly. At this time, Yang Lin shouted: "Fellow villagers, over there are our parents, the prefect, please give way, so that the prefect can come over~!" One pointed in the direction of Hong Antong.

The crowd suddenly appeared in a corridor to provide convenience for Hong Antong.

It's not that Yang Lin's words are reasonable, but that this prefect is famous, and no one doesn't understand his greedy nature and loves money like life. Everyone knows that in the eyes of the prefect, justice is in the hands of the rich or powerful. The crowd did not dare to touch his brow when he was on his way.

Soon, Hong Antong walked to the high platform, and the elders of the Yang clan immediately greeted him, their faces full of welcome, and there were flattering voices.

However, he didn't seem to see everyone's expressions, ignored them, walked straight through those people, walked towards Yang Lin, patted his shoulder, and said: "The son of the richest man in Jinhua Mansion in the past, holding a coming-of-age ceremony, how can Hong be absent?" ”

"Yang Gongzi, although Hong has never seen his father, but he has also been a god for a long time, I really admire his amazing talent, less than forty years old, he has become the richest man in Jinhua Mansion, and he is also counted in the entire Zhejiang Province!"

The people in the audience sighed, and said in their hearts, you are a big corrupt official, you are not envious of other people's way of accumulating wealth, but also want to make a lot of money, achieve the road of wealth and wealth, and grab more money for your career.

Hong Antong was about to say, another commotion sounded, several people crowded from the periphery, surprisingly, these people moved extremely smoothly, quickly to this side, as if someone deliberately set aside a passage, for these people.

As several people approached, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Lin's mouth, Yang Chengzhi was puzzled, but he was still happy to see it, the longer the time dragged on, the better, Yang Jizhi, who was standing on the edge of the high platform, no longer smiled and groaned, and when he saw one of them, his face suddenly turned pale.
