Chapter 37 Seizing Power
Many people from the Yang family were taken away at once, and the second old man and the second old lady were among them.
Those Yang clan members who had not come to the ancestral home were about to go to inquire about the news, when they were informed that each family would send people to the clan, and the clan leader had something to say to everyone.
The tribesmen stepped into Yong'an Square uneasily, always feeling that the people in the square looked at them very strangely.
“What’s wrong?”
"You don't know? The second old man heard that people from the inspection yamen came to visit, so he invited the elders from all the families in the neighborhood. He wanted to use the old man's face to force the inspection yamen out of the Yang family."
"How could Inspector He do this? He immediately took away the old men and sent soldiers to each house, saying that he wanted to check the family's accounts overnight..."
" Tell me, isn’t this a disaster from heaven?”
“How can anyone not resent our Yang family?”
“I don’t know what you heard. Are you gone? The matter this time is not trivial. The people in charge of the carriages, the general store, and the clan members who are usually close to the second and fourth masters were also taken away."
As soon as the clan members finished speaking, they heard crying coming from the ancestral house.
"What should we do? All the Sanlangs in my family work with the clan? Why were they taken to the Yamen?"
Hearing the shouting, the Yang clan members quickened their pace and thought Want to see what happens.
This kind of thing is definitely inevitable. Anyone who is caught will have to seek an explanation from the Yang clan.
Everyone gathered around and saw a young lady sitting paralyzed on the ground, shouting with runny nose and tears. Several young ladies standing next to her were also eager to try.
While they were making a fuss, several people walked out of the inner courtyard. The leader was Yu's mother, followed by a few men's wives and rough ladies.
When the crying man saw this, he crawled a few steps on the ground and threw himself in front of Yu’s mother: “Where is the Second Lady? I want to see the Second Lady.”
Yu’s mother did not respond. Meaning: "The eldest lady asked me to send you a message."
Mother Yu paused here.
Many people have vaguely heard that the wife of the middle husband is not the second wife, but the wife of the third and sixth sons, but they have never seen it with their own eyes, so how can they believe it?
Even those who met Xie Yuyan earlier thought that the second lady was using the help of the third room to deal with Yang Mingshan.
Now that the government office has arrested the person, it is time for the second lady to come back and take charge of the overall situation.
But...
It seems to be a little different from what they thought.
Mama Yu couldn't imitate Xie Yuyan's indifferent expression, so she just repeated her words: "Madam, I want to ask you, is it because the gate of the inspection yamen is closed? Or is it that the yamen refuses to accept your complaint? Do you want to Come here to complain?”
The woman was stunned there, staring at Yu's mother.
Mother Yu is usually very kind, so why does she suddenly seem to be a different person?
Lang Fu stared at her red eyes: "It all happened in the clan, so the clan just ignored it?"
"You can't say this nonsense," Mother Yu said, "You and the fourth master secretly transported goods out of the city, and these transactions were not recorded in the clan's accounts."
"You secretly used the clan's carriages and horses, how can you still have the nerve to come to the clan to cry?"
Yu's mother looked a little more stern: "I deserve to be caught by the court for selling private goods. Is it possible that I have to drag the entire Yang family to jail together?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lang shrank. After a moment, she felt the gazes around her change.
Mama Yu said: "The eldest lady called everyone here just to explain clearly to everyone what happened today. Those who want to listen carefully will go to the flower hall in a moment. Those who cause trouble will be dealt with according to the family law. . "
After that, a few rough ladies stepped forward and stood in front of the crying woman. They grabbed the woman with several hands and dragged her to the side.
The women picked up the stick again. This stick had been idle in the clan for many years, but it was picked up several times today.
Mother Yu thought of something else: "These days, the eldest lady will take several men and women to check the accounts of the clan. If your hands and feet are unclean, don't even think about escaping."
After speaking, Mother Yu took several men with her. Walking towards the flower hall, there was a loud noise immediately behind him.
The ladies pursed their lips and did not dare to say much. They were originally helping Xie Yuyan to hold up the scene for the sake of the second lady.
But over time, even the second old man was arrested by the government office.
Isn’t it just to prevent the second old man and the old lady from interfering in the affairs of the clan? How did it end up causing such a big fuss?
If you think about it carefully, their contribution is not missing.
The tribesmen who were captured must have hated them so much. Now they are still helping the eldest lady spread the word, and they are even more at the forefront of the storm.
While thinking, several people returned to the flower hall.
I wonder if it was because the lady sent so many people to the government office in the blink of an eye. Now they just felt that the lady was more intimidating than before, so they all came to the ground in a polite manner. Salute before you.
Xie Yuyan said: "Now that all the clan members have come to the ancestral home, it is inevitable that everyone will have their own thoughts. You will record all the clan members who went to the second aunt's yard, and check the accounts first."
The ladies opened their mouths slightly, so are they going to completely seize power from the second lady?
Xie Yuyan raised her eyes: "Do you still want to go back to the second aunt?" "No," the ladies said subconsciously, "we will all work for the eldest lady from now on."
< br>
Xie Yuyan said: "There are still a few people."
The husbands and wives did not say anything. Next to them, Mother Yu said: "If there is no eldest lady, let the second and fourth masters do what they do. If the commotion breaks out, the entire Yang family will be involved. As long as this matter is made clear, no one will be grateful for the lady's kindness. "
"What Mother Yu said is that more people will definitely come to seek refuge."
After sending the second old man to prison, they still want to gain a foothold in the second house? When things got to this point, they had only one way to go.
Xie Yuyan said: "Yang's caravan is involved in this case. Before the matter is investigated, the caravan can no longer leave Daming Mansion. Several families in Yong'anfang are also implicated by the two old masters. Even if the court gives them another Without the customs clearance documents, I am afraid that no one will be willing to do business with Yang in a short time."
"After all, everyone is afraid of being implicated in the private goods case."
A man said: "Then our Yang family will... lose our livelihood?"
Xie Yuyan said: "With so much livelihood, the caravan can be put on hold temporarily and do other things."
The ladies looked at Xie Yuyan expectantly.
Xie Yuyan said: "In ten days, I will lead my clan members to find another business. If you are willing to follow me, you can come to the main room and listen to my instructions. If you are not willing, I will not force you, but There is a rule..."
The husbands and wives bowed their waists deeper. The important part is coming, and they must listen to every word clearly.
Xie Yuyan said: "Those who didn't come at that time should never get involved in that business in the future. No matter how much money they make from that business, it has nothing to do with them."
The men and women look at each other, that's it? Gone?
"Should the eldest lady reveal something about what we are going to do and how much money we need? How will we divide the profits?"
If we don't say these, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract more people. Many people.
“No,” Xie Yuyan said, “They don’t need to know.”
What she wants is a group of obedient and loyal tribesmen. They didn't know how to obey orders, so she came to teach them.
……
Inspection of the Yamen.
He Tan and Wang Hechun looked at the bodies on the ground.
Chen Ju led his men to surround Xiaozhuangzi outside the north city of the Yang family. The man resisted desperately, but when he saw that he was about to be captured, he simply committed suicide.
“It’s all because of the incompetence of my subordinates.” Chen Ju’s face was filled with regret.
When the man jumped up, he thought he was going to fight him desperately. Who knew, at the last moment, the man would turn the sharp weapon in his hand upside down and stab it directly into his throat.
Such a ruthless method would never come from a border citizen or merchant.
"There are calluses on his palms and fingers," Chen Ju said. "It can be seen that he often holds a gun and shoots arrows, and his fist and kick skills are somewhat similar to those of the soldiers in the camp."
Wang Hechun said. : "He's a soldier."
Chen Ju nodded: "You can't be wrong." This was what made him uncomfortable. He finally caught the evidence, but he lost it.
Wang Hechun looked at Chen Ju: "Didn't you say there were bandits outside Beicheng?"
"Yes."
Chen Ju sighed, but it was the duty of the Xiang army to arrest bandits. They patrol the Yamen and have nothing to do with it.
Wang Hechun said: "On Yangjiazhuangzi, I encountered someone who was resisting with weapons and captured one person. Others took advantage of the chaos to escape. You pursued them all the way and entered the mountains unknowingly."
Wang Hechun doesn’t need to say what happened next. He must have found the bandit’s lair.
Chen Ju was happy: "I'll go right away."
"That's good," He Tan said, "We have cleared out the bandits, and we will prevent anyone from disturbing the public by using the bandits' hands."
First of all. After obtaining the confession, it was confirmed that the people who died on Zhuangzi had nothing to do with the bandits, so those people could not blame the bandits for the matter, and made a joke that Yang Mingshan colluded with the bandits to trade private goods.
After speaking, Wang Hechun picked up the tea and drank it. He was really thirsty, so he drank it all in one gulp. When he put down the tea bowl, he saw He Tan's meaningful smile.
He Tan said: "It seems that when I was talking to Miss Xie, I didn't even get a sip of water."
A scene flashed through Wang Hechun's mind.
The tea hanger and cup were right in front of her, but she had no intention of serving tea.
This is telling him that she has no habit of serving others, or asking him to leave early to avoid staying too long.
No matter which one, Wang Hechun has never experienced it before.
