First Cause Of All Realms Chapter 34

Chapter 34, Yang Family, Young and Young cold.

At the entrance of the alley, the family member stomped his feet and blushed. Seeing Yang Yu coming out, he hurried forward and handed a brocade box to explain his purpose.

"Invite me to dinner?"

Yang Yu played with the brocade box in his hand, looking thoughtful.

Yang Baotian's old face appeared in front of his eyes again, this old bastard seemed to have been staring at him for a long time, otherwise it would have been impossible to know that he was collecting 'antiquities'.

This made him wonder even more.

Although the Yang Family is just a small squire, no matter how small the squire will not put a jailer in the eye.

In fact, there are quite a few members of the Yang Family who work in the yamen, as well as a swordsman.

What is the purpose of spending a lot of time to win over yourself?
"little brother, the host asked me to tell you that there are quite a few antiquities newly received from the street at home."

The housekeeper rubbed his hands together and stammered.

"Newly received?"

Yang Yu narrowed his eyes, a little bit of surprise in his heart, but also a little bit wary, and he was even more angry.

Black Mountain City is a Shangxian county with a population of tens of thousands of households. It stands to reason that there are not too many antiques, but he has found nothing these days except for the handkerchief printed with 'Wind Step'.

It turned out that the old bastard was secretly buying it.

I was slightly angry, but I was also a little alert. I still underestimated these local tyrants. I tried my best to keep it secret, but I was still discovered.

"The host also said that the little brother will not come home empty-handed when he goes to the banquet."

The housekeeper cautiously.

He heard about this guy who killed two fierce thieves just a few days ago.

“hehe ~”

Yang Yu sneered in his heart. .

Is this the meaning of not going to the banquet and trying to find an antique in the future?
Thinking in my heart, I turned the words of rejection in my mouth and said:

"The errand in the yamen can't go wrong. Please wait for me to ask Constable Wang a leave."

"To be honest with little brother, I went to Constable Wang yesterday to ask for a day off for little brother."

Seeing Yang Yu's agreement, relaxed.

"You, the master, are really thoughtful."

Yang Yu didn't smile, but he was sure in his heart.

Although there are chaos in Black Mountain City, this Yang Family is just a small country gentleman, and they have no courage to openly provoke Wang Fobao.

This sentence is to reassure my heart.

"Let's lead the way then."

Yang Yu touched the long knife around his waist and wanted to see what the old bastards in the clan wanted to do.

Walking out of the alley, there were two bearers of the same shiver coldly.

As the winter is approaching, the sky is getting brighter. Although the inner city is scarce, there are already hawkers on the street who have started a busy day.

But the outer city was dead silent, passing through several streets in a row, except for the paper money floating on the ground, it was empty.

If it wasn't for the occasional cries, Yang Yu almost thought the outer city had become a dead city.

"The outer city has become like this? The yamen doesn't care?!"

Yang Yu was shocked.

How many people died so that no one in the outer city dared to go out on the street?
Lifting the curtain and looking at the desolate Outer City, Yang Yu felt a chill in his heart: "Outer City, is it already like this?"

"Go back to little brother."

Glancing at the two bearers who were quickening their pace, the family seemed to be a little concerned: "I heard that several of the doctors that Constable Wang invited from other counties died."

>

“How did it become like this...”

Yang Yu murmured.

These days, he is obsessed with practicing martial arts, and sometimes he goes out in a hurry, but he has no idea that the outer city has become like this.

What he couldn't understand was why the yamen's actions were not seen for a long time.

Although Sanchi Liu is greedy, he is not incompetent to this point, right?
Great Ming is assessed every five years. If he looks like this, if the officials who are being assessed see him, he doesn't want his own black gauze cap?

"It's not because of that pity..."

A bearer couldn't help but want to say something, but his voice stopped abruptly.

Yang Yu turned his head and saw at the end of the street, on the large square in the outer city, the densely packed people were kneeling on the ground, listening to the Scripture Lecture of several Taoists on the high platform.

The sky is filled with paper money like snowflakes, which makes people shudder.

Several people were all shivering, and they quickened their pace in a hurry. Soon, they reached the big city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city took the money, withdrew the Taoist soldiers, and walked outside the city. Only then did Yang Yu see people, and a large number of people dragged their families and went to the distance.

They are running for their lives...

There are also refugees who want to enter the city and are turned away, crying, swearing, whipping, and screaming one after another.

Yang Yu couldn't help but clenched the knife tightly, and felt a lot in his heart.

On that day, if Old Master hadn't brought him into the city, he would have ended up with these refugees as well.

"This fucking world..."

Yang Yu closed his eyes, his chest heaving.

I couldn't calm down for a while, so I simply opened the brocade box. Inside the brocade box, there were a half-rotten ancient book, a few pieces of silk, and a few unknown bronze pendants.

It was one of the bronze pendants that made the Cauldron of Gluttony react.

In pendant, there is a method of persuasion called 'Returning Qi Jue'.

“A little bit is better than nothing.”

Yang Yu was slightly disappointed.

Although there is no single cultivation restriction for Confucian Qi, people have limited energy and blood energy. The inner Qi that can be extracted in a day will not increase because of more cultivation methods.

However, the progress of the recipe collection is increased by one, and there are only five ingredients left, and he can collect all the ingredients needed for the recipe.

Out of the city, the entire group fell silent and the footsteps were faster.

Not long after, a manor with earth walls and fences could be seen far away.

It is said to be a manor, but in fact it is just an earthen fort, gray and yellow, very unremarkable.

"My family brother is here, but I've been waiting for a long time for my brother."

As soon as I got off the sedan chair, a tall and strong middle age person greeted him and invited him to the estate.

Yang Yu recognizes this person as Yang Baotian's second son, Yang Yu?
This Yang Family's manor is not very impressive, and there is nothing to see inside. There are not even slates on the yellow mud floor, and a few old trees are bare.

Only Yang Yu saw a difference.

There are a lot of Yang Family's servants.

The Great Ming's law is strict, and those who are not famous and have merit are not allowed to support their families and servants, although this law has long been violated.

Family slaves come at a cost.

For a small country gentleman like Yang Family, it would be great to support ten, but he has seen more than ten along the way, right?

In the slightly decorated main room, the banquet has already been set up.

Yang Yu glanced at it. Eight cold and eight hot, chicken, duck, fish and meat were all available, but the four dried fruits were nothing more than fresh fruits.

"Come on, Little Yu, and taste the fruits that our family grows."

Yang Baotian's smile softened.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Yang Yu is too lazy to go around in circles, let alone eat the things of people with obvious harboring malicious intentions.

Not to mention the food, he didn't want to touch his mouth with the tea.

"hehe."

Yang Baotian smiled stiffly, but he put down the fruit:

"Little Yu is really quick to talk, so, Yang Yu, for the sake of Tell me about your clan brother."

"Frankly, we have something to ask for this time."

Yang Kui was frowned, and immediately smiled. Dao:
"This matter is very important to me, but to my brother, it's just no effort at all."

"What's the matter?"

Yang Yu's heart moved, and he knew that the drama was coming.

"It's like this. A few years ago, a clan elder was sent to prison for stealing a very important thing from the clan, but until the clan elder was beheaded, nothing was taken. Find it."

Yang Kui got up, poured a glass of wine for Yang Yu, and said earnestly:
"Let's just think, the clan brother can help you find it."

"Really?"

Yang Yu turned the wine glass and looked at Yang Baotian, meaning:
"It's hard to find things in the prison..."

Good night, good night.
