The First Cause of All Realms

Chapter 34: Yang family old and young

It's almost the middle of winter, and it's colder in the morning.

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

"Invite me to dinner?"

Yang Yu played with the brocade box in his hand, thinking deeply.

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

This made him more suspicious.

Although the Yang family was only a small squire, no matter how small the squire would not take a jailer seriously.

In fact, there are quite a few people in the Yang family who work in the yamen, and there is also a swordsman.

What is the reason for spending a lot of time to win over yourself?

"Little brother, the master asked me to tell you that there are many new antiquities received from the street at home."

Jiading rubbed his hands together and stammered.

"Newly received?"

Yang Yu squinted his eyes, feeling a little stunned in his heart, but also a little wary, and even more angry.

After all, Heishan City is a Shangxian county with a population of tens of thousands of households. Logically speaking, there are not too many antiquities, but these days he has found nothing but a handkerchief printed with 'Wind Step'.

But it turned out that this old thing was secretly acquired.

In a slight anger, he was also a little alert. He still underestimated these local snakes. He tried his best to keep secrets, but he was still discovered.

"The master also said that when my little brother goes to the banquet, he will not return empty-handed."

Jiading was careful.

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

"Hehe~"

Yang Yu sneered in his heart. .

Does this mean that if you don't go to the banquet, you won't want to find an antique in the future?

Thinking in my heart, the words of rejection turned around in my mouth, saying:

"I can't go wrong with the yamen's errand, wait until I ask Wang Zhaotou for a leave."

"Don't hide it from my brother, I went to Wang Zhaotou yesterday to ask for a day off for my brother."

Seeing Yang Yu's agreement, he was relieved.

"Your master is really thoughtful."

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

Although there are chaos in Heishan City, the Yang family is no more than a small country squire, 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 these old people in the clan wanted to do.

Walking out of the alley, there were two shivering sedan chairmen who were also freezing. Yang Yu didn't say much, and went straight to the sedan chair, and the group went out of the city.

The winter is approaching, and 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, walking through several streets in a row, except for the paper money floating on the ground, it was empty.

If it wasn't for the cries that could be heard from time to time, Yang Prison almost thought that the outer city had become a dead city.

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

Yang Prison was shocked.

How many people died so that no one in the outer city dared to go out on the street?

Lifting the curtain of the car and looking at the desolate outer city, Yang Yu felt a chill in his heart: "Outer city, does it already look like this?"

"Go back, little brother."

Glancing at the two bearers who were speeding up their pace, the family seemed to be a little worried: "I heard that several doctors that Wang Zhaotou invited from other counties have 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 he didn't see the yamen's action for a long time.

Although that three-foot Liu is greedy, he is not incompetent to this point, right?

Daming is assessed every five years, so if the officials who are being assessed see this, 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, a dense crowd of people were kneeling on the ground, listening to the sermons of several Taoists on the high platform.

The paper money in the sky is like snowflakes, which makes people shudder.

Several people were all shivering, and they quickened their pace in haste, and soon, they arrived at the big city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city took the money, withdrew the Taoist soldiers, and went outside the city. Only then did Yang prison see the crowd, 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 he was very concerned.

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

"This **** world..."

Yang Yu closed his eyes, his chest heaving up and down.

Unable to calm down for a while, he simply opened the brocade box. Inside the brocade box were a half-rotten ancient book, a few sheets of silk, and a few unknown bronze pendants.

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

In the pendant, there is a method called "Returning Qi".

"better than nothing."

Yang Yu was slightly disappointed.

Although there is no single cultivation restriction on the method of convincing qi, human energy is limited, and blood qi is also limited. The inner qi that can be extracted every day will not increase due to more cultivating methods of convincing qi.

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

After leaving the city, the group fell silent and walked faster.

Before long, a manor with earth walls and fences could be seen far away.

Said to be a manor, in fact it was just an earthen fort, gray and yellow, very inconspicuous.

"The clan brother is here, but I've waited for a long time for my brother."

When I got off the sedan chair, a tall middle-aged man came over and invited him to enter the village.

Yang Yu recognized this person as Yang Baotian's second son, Yang Kui?

The Yang family's manor is unremarkable in appearance, and there is nothing to see inside. There are not even slates on the yellow mud floor, and a few old trees are bare.

It's just that Yang Yu saw a difference.

There are many servants of the Yang family.

Daming's law is strict, and those who have not had fame and achievements cannot support their families, slaves and servants, although this law has long been destroyed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

It costs money to support domestic slaves.

For a small country squire like the 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 Prison glanced at him. 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, Xiaoyu, and taste the fruits that our family grows."

Yang Baotian's laughing wrinkles all stretched.

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

Yang Prison is too lazy to go around in circles, let alone eat the food of these obviously malicious people.

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

"Ha ha."

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

"Xiaoyu is really quick to talk, so, Yang Yu, let's talk about your brother."

"To be honest, we invited the younger brother to come this time because we have something to ask for."

Yang Kui frowned imperceptibly, then smiled and said:

"This matter is of great importance to me and others, but to my younger brother, it's just a little effort."

"What's up?"

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 the big prison for stealing a very important thing from the clan, but until the clan elder was beheaded, he didn't find the thing back."

Yang Kui got up, poured a glass of wine for Yang Yu, and said earnestly:

"We just thought, the clan brother can help you find it."

"Yes?"

Yang Yu turned the wine glass, looked at Yang Baotian, and meant something:

"It's hard to find things in the prison..."
