Chapter Twenty-Three: Borrowing the Life of the Son

Yang Yi walked a few steps, folded a plum blossom in the courtyard, walked around the courtyard, and went straight into a lobby.

Smoke curls out of the fragrance in the lobby, there is a piano case in front of the window on one side, a hand wash basin and a towel rack stand near the piano case, and the water vapor in the basin comes out lightly, and there is still residual temperature. It seems that someone was cleaning his heart and face and hands and dusting just now, and was about to play the piano, but unfortunately he was scared away by such a wicked guest as himself entering the door, and now the chair fell to the ground, and it seems that he was in a hurry.

Yang Yi stood next to the piano case, stretched out his hand and stroked the seven-string guqin, and a string of sounds sounded like water, and the sound quality was excellent.

Yang Yi smiled, sat in front of the piano case, and said lightly: "Come out!"

Although he was just an ordinary voice in a low voice, after the words came out, the whole courtyard seemed to be shocked, and a few plum blossoms in the courtyard were separated from the branches, flying like butterflies. The courtyard, which would never have had an echo, began to echo, and the aftermath of "Come out, come out, come out, ...... come out" echoed throughout the courtyard.

After Yang Yi shouted, there were a few short exclamations in the backyard, but then it fell silent.

Yang Yi stopped making a sound, sat in front of the piano case, sat quietly for a while, stroked the piano with both hands, and the sound of "ding ding dong dong" spread throughout the courtyard, slowly playing softer and lighter, it seemed that he couldn't hear it if he wasn't careful, causing people to involuntarily move forward and listen carefully.

After playing for a while, footsteps began to come, and one by one figures appeared in front of the door of the lobby where Yang Yi was.

These people, old and young, men and women, all tilted their heads and tilted their ears, and their faces were struggling, and they walked step by step towards the doorless place, and when they reached the door, no one dared to take a single step.

After playing the song, Yang Yi picked up the plum branch on the table, walked to the door and looked at the hundreds of people in the courtyard, and coughed in a low voice.

His slight cough was like a thunderbolt in his mind to everyone in the courtyard, and he was shocked, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared for a while, and they all came to their senses, followed by a burst of exclamations one after another.

Yang Yi stepped out of the door, his eyes swept away like cold lightning, and everyone exclaimed immediately.

Yang Yi patted the plum branch with his hand and looked at everyone, "Which one is Second Master Chen?"

Hundreds of people heard this, and they all turned their heads to look at a young man standing in the crowd, and slowly opened a way towards Yang Yi.

This young man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, a face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, and a soft hat with a piece of jade inlaid in the center of the hat.

Yang Yi looked at this person, "You are Second Master Chen?"

The young man also exclaimed in surprise at first, but at this time, his mind had stabilized, and when he saw Yang Yi asking, he bowed deeply to Yang Yi, raised his head and smiled: "Chen Jia'an has seen Yang Gongzi!"

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Well, the Jiangning Chen family is really extraordinary! The slave has done far more than his peers, but it is a pity that he is willing to be a lackey and refuses to be a man!"

Seeing his stunned expression, Yang Yi sighed: "If I hadn't seen the pigtails on your head, I might have spared your life, but it's a pity!"

The young man, Chen Jia'an's face stiffened, and then he smiled: "Young Master Yang, I have heard of your name for a long time, you went all the way south from the capital, killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and exterminated bandits and bullies.

He came out of the crowd and slowly walked over to Yang Yi, "I, Haining Chen family, for three hundred years, protégés and former officials have spread all over the world, but if you want to do things for the people of the world, you have to look at the opportunity and time, and you don't dare to act indiscriminately easily, for fear of disaster and family members." Therefore, I often feel like a caged bird, unable to spread my wings and fly, and I am very depressed, which is difficult for ordinary people to know. ”

Chen Jia'an said as he walked, and praised: "It's just a chic person like Brother Yang, who can sing all the way and act according to his heart, my brother is very envious!" As he spoke, he had already walked in front of Yang Yi and stretched out his hand to lead, "Brother Yang must have misunderstood his brother, my Chen family has been an official for hundreds of years, and the children of the family dare not act willfully, and the people killed by Brother Yang are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but they have little to do with their brothers." ”

With a gesture of his hand, he summoned a maid, "Go, take my big red robe!" Today, the distinguished guest comes to the door, don't hide the jar of tribute tea rewarded by the emperor anymore, take it out and let Yang Gongzi taste it!"

Yang Yi shook his head and smiled, "Da Hong Pao? Looking at Chinese products, what is there that Yang has never had?"

Yang Yi's words are true, he drove out the Tartars in the Yitian world, returned the clothes of my Han family, and then respected the court alone, controlled the world, and all kinds of objects in the world were selected and presented to the palace for enjoyment. Although he is not an extravagant person, he does not refuse things such as candy and refreshments, how could he not have tasted the tea leaves of this big red robe.

If you talk about rare antiques and precious objects, even if the Jiangning Chen family has been around for 300 years, how can it be enjoyed by Yang Yi, the lord of the country?

Now seeing that Chen Jia'an intentionally or unintentionally showed his family connections when he spoke, and entertained Yang Yi with royal tribute to show his generosity, if his posture is for ordinary people in the rivers and lakes or officialdom, it will definitely work in one fell swoop, making people feel good, and it is difficult to have malicious intentions, but in front of Yang Yi, it is useless.

When Yang Yi said the sentence "Central Plains products, what is there that Yang has never had", Chen Jia'an's eyes showed a look of ridicule, he naturally didn't believe what Yang Yi said, but he said in his mouth: "Yes, yes, just looking at Brother Yang's dress, you will know that it must be a nobleman of the previous dynasty, and the younger brother's jar of tea will definitely not be able to enter Brother Yang's eyes, but the younger brother's family is poor, and only this jar of tea given by the emperor can be taken out!"

When Yang Yi entered the mansion, he took a cursory look at the Chen family's mansion and found that the mansion covered an area of 100 acres, which was extremely luxurious. Chen Jia'an said that his family was poor, but he showed a proud look on his face.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the family is poor, Yang only came here today to take one thing, as long as he has him, the rest is not enough." ”

Chen Jia'an asked, "Dare to ask Brother Yang what he wants?"

Yang Yi pointed the plum branch in his hand and said with a smile: "Without it, only the second son's life ear!"

The plum branch in his hand was harvested little by little, and when he withdrew it again, a plum blossom was attached to Chen Jia'an's eyebrows and did not fall off.

Chen Jia'an's face was still full of smiles, but his eyes gradually became blank, he snorted, turned around, and fell straight to the side.

Just as Chen Jia'an fell to the ground, a clear voice came, "Master Yang, keep your subordinates!"

When this person said the word "Yang Ye", he was still at the gate of the Chen Mansion, and when he said the word "subordinates", he had already arrived at the side of the people in the Chen Mansion, and when he said the word "keep people", a long sword had already stretched out in front of Yang Yi, "Look at the sword!"

The plum branch in Yang Yi's hand flickered, and a plum blossom flew out lightly, seemingly flying very slowly, but the sword that was stretched out quickly was easily attached to the spine of the sword by it, and then he heard a "hum" sound, and the long sword that was stretched out was suddenly trembling by the plum blossom, and suddenly flew into the air, and with a "du" sound, it was inserted on the branch of an old plum tree in the distance.

A one-armed Taoist stood in front of Yang Yi, blood flowed from his right hand, and he looked at Yang Yi in a daze, speechless for a while. (To be continued.) )
