Chapter 21: Frustrating His Might and Confusing His Heart (II)

At this time, a voice came suddenly, and only the general direction could be heard, and I don't know who came out, it was this voice that stopped the movements of the two officials and drew everyone's attention.

"My lord, Yang Jizhi is here, he is next to the ceremony!"

The sound was so loud, so obvious near the silent altar, as if everyone could hear it.

The crowd couldn't help but go to the prestige, whether it was on the stage or off the stage, whether they knew Yang Jizhi or didn't know it, accompanied by sighs, the voices came and went, endlessly, echoing in the void, and everyone looked at one place.

I saw that Yang Jizhi was already sitting on the ground, his eyes were stunned, and his face was like ashes. He has never experienced such a scene, and he was exposed in public for murdering others, how can a son-in-law bear it? Panicked for a moment and don't know how to respond?

Seeing Yang Jizhi's reaction, everyone felt that the person who was sued, the person behind the scenes, should be him, and there would be no mistake. Otherwise, how could he have such a huge reaction? Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, not to mention that there is no verdict yet, just arraignment, there must be a ghost in Yang Jizhi's heart.

The two officials were very happy, they didn't have to run errands to get people, and they quickly went down to the high platform excitedly, lifted Yang Chengzhi to the high platform, and waited for Hong Antong's fall.

From beginning to end, Yang Lin did not say a word, nor did he show his attitude. Everyone seems to have forgotten him, forgetting that today is the day of his Yang Lin's coming-of-age ceremony, and forgetting that he is the protagonist of today, the object of all attention.

Hong Antong stood up and suddenly turned to say: "This is not a place to try the case, this official will go back to the yamen first, and then try again." ”

Hong Antong pointed to the other two officials and ordered: "Listen, you two listen to this account room, go to the Yang Mansion together, bring the carriage back to the yamen, and let the servants inspect it." As for the two of them, they will be taken back to the prison first, so that they can be taken care of, and no one can visit them without my order! ”

Yang Chengzhi was still kneeling there, and no one paid attention. He no longer cried out for injustice, and his mouth opened and closed weakly. The moment he saw his son's performance, his heart was like a mirror, and the thing was true.

At this time, Yang Chengzhi felt a trace of remorse in his heart, regretting why he was not able to stop his son? Do you regret why you didn't warn your son about the consequences of doing so?

The reason why I think this way is because Yang Chengzhi once heard his son reveal this meaning, so he will have this series of regrets.

Yang Chengzhi is a person who understands and knows that although the whole incident did not kill anyone, it was carried out and he will definitely be sentenced. At this time, Yang Chengzhi's heart was very chaotic and terrible. But I still forced myself to calm down, try to calm down, think of countermeasures, and get through this juncture.

When Hong Antong stepped down, Yang Jizhi, who was being escorted, suddenly shouted: "Father, save me, save me, I don't want to die, you must save me!" The voice was chaotic and poignant, revealing the last trace of struggle.

Yang Chengzhi's heart seemed to be pinched hard in an instant, he could no longer keep calm, he was flustered, he had no backbone for a while, and he could only stretch out one hand weakly, as if he wanted to hold his son and keep him. However, the action is so helpless.

The crowd dispersed, and there were only three Yang Lin's master and servant on the high platform, as well as the thirteen people.

At this moment, slowly savoring, thinking carefully, and thinking back to the whole coming-of-age ceremony, how could the thirteen people not feel it? How can you not feel that in the whole process of the coming-of-age ceremony, one by one, things happened so timely, so coherently, step by step. The occurrence and evolution of everything is fundamentally incapable of many reactions, as if they have been in the calculations of others.

The thirteen people looked at Yang Lin in unison, only to see that Yang Lin's face was not shocked, and he was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest change in his expression.

Everyone couldn't help but think about the past, and remembered Yang Lin's past performances, so that everyone couldn't believe that all this was from the hands of this hairy boy. They unanimously thought in their hearts that there must be someone behind them who was involved, secretly promoting, and manipulating all this.

Soon, Yang Lin was no longer silent, and said in an emotionless voice: "Elders of the clan, can you take me to take over the family's business now?" It's not too early, but you promised me to finish the formalities today. ”

Everyone looked stunned, and looked at Yang Chengzhi who was sitting on the ground, with a look of the horse's head. Yang Chengzhi's face was ugly, as if he was muttering to himself, and as if he was asking: "Who is in charge of planning all this?" Who is the person behind it? ”

Without words, let alone answers, these people of Yang Linle thought of their opponents as other people. However, Yang Lin thought about it, why didn't he make up a person to come out? Put everyone's attention on a person who doesn't have to.

After Yang Lin figured all this, he said very meaningfully: "Patriarch, let's hurry up and go through the formalities of Splendid Villa, after finishing it, you should go and see Cousin Jizhi, and check up and down, so as not to make him suffer in prison!" ”

Yang Lin's answer was not what he asked, and his words stung Yang Chengzhi's heart, and he couldn't do anything. Yang Lin's last sentence shocked Yang Chengzhi's body, and he no longer had that curiosity, and he was completely bound by his son's imprisonment.

At this time, Yang Chengzhi's whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he was a little exhausted. Thinking of his son's situation, remembering that the whole thing was under the control of the person behind this hairy boy, for the safety of his son, Yang Chengzhi had to hand over Splendid Villa.

So, Yang Chengzhi's eyes were a little dull and dull, and he said in a cold voice: "I won't go, I'll let the housekeeper accompany you to handle the handover of Splendid Villa." ”

Then, he shouted to the audience: "Butler, you go and accompany Yang Lin to convey my meaning." ”

Seeing that the patriarch Yang Chengzhi agreed happily, although he was very unwilling in his heart, he had a lot of reluctance. But in the presence of the whole city, there were promises. You can't go back, and it's not easy to cheat openly. And looking at the situation, the prefect Hong Antong seemed to be interested in helping Yang Lin, and the other twelve people accompanied Yang Lin to leave, handing over the business they controlled one by one, and their figures were a little lonely and a little depressed.

Of course, Yang Lin first took over the largest and closest Splendid Villa, although the guys inside were a little resistant, but they were also present at the entire coming-of-age ceremony, they were all watching, and they all heard it, so they had to let Yang Lin take over.

The moment Yang Lin took over, several people suddenly appeared, who were appointed by Yang Lin one by one as the chief treasurer and some important positions of Splendid Villa, strictly guarding the reserve goods, and being responsible for the counter silver taels, and the original principal was put aside, looking at all this stupidly.

The sudden appearance of a few people made the shopkeeper and the twelve people stunned, and their hearts were even more shocked. This scene further confirms what the twelve people thought and guessed, and they were indeed calculated.

When the twelve people saw the scene of the handover of the Splendid Villa, they thought that this should also happen to their shops, and the same was true.

Subsequently, when Yang Lin took over the other twelve business stores, there were also a few inexplicable people, who were appointed by Yang Lin as the shopkeeper of the store, strictly controlling the money and silver of the goods, completely verifying the conjecture of the twelve people and stifling the evil intentions in their hearts.

Things went smoothly, the whole process took less than two hours, and there was no major resistance during the period, but some of the guys in the shop were very resistant and showed dissatisfaction. That's all, there were not many waves, and there were not many riots.

After taking over the family's business shop, Yang Lin sat comfortably in the study, sipping the fine tea he had just taken back from his own shop, while flipping through the account books of the various shops he brought back.

In the afternoon, Hong Antong continued to try Yang Jizhi, and the punishment was useless, so the kid recruited all of them, begging to let him live, and he was very afraid. is no longer the appearance of Yang Lin meeting him for the first time in Splendid Villa, and he is arrogant.

Long before the trial, Yang Lin revealed his intentions, Hong Antong could extort Yang Chengzhi a lot of money, give a light sentence, let them pay to settle the matter, and let Yang Jizhi go.

Yang Lin didn't want any money for this money, but there was only one request, that is, Yang Jizhi couldn't get out of bed for a year, which stimulated the patriarch fiercely, disturbed his mind, and messed up his soul, so that he couldn't fight with himself or entangle with himself in a short period of time. In that way, Yang Lin can tidy up those shops well and firmly grasp the shops in his hands.

A few days later, the patriarch's mansion, although it was not as magnificent as the Yang Mansion, was also the number one mansion in the Jinhua Mansion.

At this moment, in a certain room, Yang Jizhi was lying on the bed, breathing weakly, one in and one out, the doctor was treating the injury on the side, and a woman was wailing and crying, of course the woman was Yang Jizhi's mother.

Yang Chengzhi was also in the room, annoyed by the crying, frowning, and his heart was in a mess.

Looking at his son's beaten injury, his heart was like a pain in his heart. The news from the Splendid Villa made him feel very bad and bad.

After the doctor left, Yang Chengzhi paced back and forth in the room irritably. Then, he said with some resentment: "Butler, go and contact the twelve, let them go to the old place tomorrow morning to get together, and say that I have something important to discuss with them!" ”

After following Yang Chengzhi for so long, of course the housekeeper understood what his master was thinking and what he meant, and bowed back while saying, "Okay master, I'll go now!" ”
