Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Marquis Jing'an!" Wang De'an felt vaguely familiar with Marquis Jing'an, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

After all, he was just a commander of Haizhou Guards, and he didn't know much about the nobles in Kyoto.

Lin Zhan sighed, "My master is the right commander of the Left Army Commandery, and Duke Anguo is the left commander of the Left Army Commandery!"

"You are really stupid, stupid beyond measure."

Yu Shengze nodded, "It's really stupid, you don't even know Marquis Jing'an. Back then, Marquis Jing'an was notorious and burned down the 100,000-strong army of the Wulianghu tribe."

Compared to Wang De'an, Yu Shengze knew Yang Zhengshan better, because he was originally a military officer in Beiyuan Town, and he was born in Guangenbo Mansion and was Guangenbo's younger brother. Although Guangenbo was only a second-class commander, he was still a noble in Kyoto.

Wang De'an was completely confused. He remembered who Marquis Jing'an was. Wasn't it Marquis Jing'an who fought against the innate warrior at Zhengyang Gate in Kyoto a few years ago?

Marquis Jing'an, a congenital warrior!

Lin Zhan looked at him coldly, and the next moment, with a clang, a sharp sword came out of its sheath and was placed in front of Wang De'an's neck.

"Master Lin Linlin, what is this?" Wang De'an's face was pale and he said tremblingly.

"The commander of Haizhou Guards allowed his soldiers to riot, and was killed on the spot by this official!"

Lin Zhan said indifferently.

"No, I didn't!" Wang De'an denied it repeatedly.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhan had no intention of entangled with him. He still had a lot of things to do, and now he had no time to waste on this idiot.

In full view of the public, the sword tip sank into Wang De'an's throat, and bright red blood gushed out.

Wang De'an covered his throat and looked at Lin Zhan with disbelief and fear.

Then his body slowly fell to the ground.

Everyone around him was stunned and couldn't believe it.

No one expected that Lin Zhan would kill Wang De'an directly, not even Yu Shengze.

Yu Shengze thought that Lin Zhan brought up Yang Zhengshan to intimidate Wang De'an, but he never expected that Lin Zhan would kill Wang De'an with one sword.

Damn, this Lord Lin is so murderous!

But it's true, it is said that Marquis Jing'an is a killer with a strong desire to kill.

Yu Shengze shuddered all over, and he was afraid of Lin Zhan.

As for the others, they dared not look at Lin Zhan.

It was not enough for Lin Zhan to kill Wang De'an, and he swung his sword and cut Zhang Bei's neck.

This general flag dared to take the lead, so he deserved to die.

"Captain Li!"

Li Boran's heart trembled, "I'm here!"

Lin Zhan glanced at the soldiers who were making trouble, "These useless trash are handed over to you. If anyone dares to make trouble again, just chop it off!"

To intimidate Wang De'an, it was wrong. He wanted to intimidate the officials of Yuzhou, big and small.

Facing a ruined Yuzhou, he had to use tough measures to intimidate all the officials.

Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is not enough to deter all officials, so let's kill the monkeys to scare the monkeys.

Zhang Yu looked at Lin Zhan in horror. Before, Lin Zhan gave him the feeling of a very strong-looking superior, but now Lin Zhan has become a ferocious beast.

His heart was trembling, his limbs were shaking, and his whole body was like a sieve.

Too scary!

Just like that, a commander of the guards was killed!

"Yes!" Li Boran responded quickly, and then shouted: "What are you still standing there for, get back to the camp!"

Whether it was the soldiers who made trouble or the soldiers brought by Li Boran, they all ran towards the camp outside the city as if they had been pardoned.

Lin Zhan handed the long sword to Ding Lu next to him and said: "Dashi, send two brothers back to Beijing to tell my master what happened today."

This matter is not big or small, but Lin Zhan believes that Yang Zhengshan can definitely handle it.

"Yes!" Lu Dashi responded.

…

Yuzhou is only a thousand miles away from Kyoto. If you ride fast, you can get back to Kyoto from Yuzhou in two or three days.

Of course, this is under the condition that you can change horses. People can ride a horse for a day, but horses cannot keep riding. Otherwise, even if the horse is not tired to death, it will be useless.

It took the two guards five days to get to Kyoto and return to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Greetings, Master!"

In the study, the two guards bowed to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan asked, "But what happened to Lin Zhan?"

The guards simply recounted what happened in Yuzhou.

After they finished speaking, Yang Zhengshan said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work. Go home and rest for a few days before returning to Yuzhou!"

"Yes!" The two guards smiled with relief.

They were naturally happy to be able to stay at home for a few days.

After they left, Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought for a while, then wrote a letter and handed it to Ding Qiu, "Send this letter to the Duke of Anguo, and by the way, send a jar of Baicao Wine!"

A commander of the Guards is not a big or small position.

But since he allowed the soldiers to cause chaos, it doesn't matter if he is killed.

As for whether someone will take the opportunity to target Lin Zhan, haha, do you really think that the Marquis of Jing'an is just a decoration in Kyoto?

To be honest, Yang Zhengshan didn't take this little thing to heart at all.

That day, Ding Qiu took Yang Zhengshan's letter and a jar of Baicao Wine to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

In the lobby of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, An Huairen personally received Ding Qiu.

"Ding Qiu of the Marquis of Jing'an pays homage to the Duke!" Ding Qiu clasped his fists and bowed.

An Huairen smiled and was enthusiastic, "Hahaha, Manager Ding, there is no need to be polite, but what does the Marquis of Jing'an want to do?"

Although he is the Duke of the country, he really doesn't dare to stand up in front of Yang Zhengshan.

There is no way, Yang Zhengshan obtained the title by virtue of his military exploits, and he obtained the title by the kindness of his ancestors, and Yang Zhengshan was an innate warrior. Although he was in charge of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, his weight in the heart of Emperor Yanping and his status in the court , are far inferior to Yang Zhengshan.

"This is a letter from my Marquis to the Duke. In addition, my Marquis also prepared a thank-you gift for the Duke!" Ding Qiu placed the jar of Baicao Brewing on the tea table next to him.

An Huairen looked at Baicao Niang, and his eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy.

This is Baicao Brewing!

Who in Kyoto today doesn't know that Baicao Niang is a rare medicinal wine that can not only nourish the body, but also help warriors practice.

Although Yang Zhengshan opened a shop in Kyoto that specialized in exchanging precious medicines for Baicao Niang, the precious medicines were not cheap. Even if An Huairen was the Duke of the country, he could not exchange too many precious medicines for Baicao Niang.

A jar of Baicao Brewing is still very precious to him.

But when he opened the letter in his hand, the joy on his face stopped.

Wang De'an!

Killed by Lin Zhan!

The joy only paused, and he smiled again.

"Haha, it's just a trivial matter. There's no need for a thank you gift. Just a word from Marquis Jing'an!"

Ding Qiu said: "My Marquis knows that it is a bit embarrassing for the Duke at this time, so I suggested that I come and say sorry."

"Haha, it's a small thing, it's a small thing, but I'll just accept the wine." An Huairen said with a smile.

"Then I'll take my leave first!"

Ding Qiu didn't stay too long and bowed with his fists in hand.

"Old Li, send Steward Ding off!" An Huairen ordered the butler beside him.

The housekeeper Lao Li quickly stepped forward and led Ding Qiu out of the lobby. When the housekeeper Lao Li sent Ding Qiu away and came back, An Huairen's face turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it, this Marquis Jing'an actually despises me so much!"

An Huairen looked at the letter in his hand and almost smashed the tea table next to him angrily.

It was just Wang De'an, but he didn't take it to heart.

Not to mention that Wang De'an was just the brother of one of his concubines, even if he was his wife's biological brother, he wouldn't care.

What annoyed him was Yang Zhengshan's letter and attitude.

The content of the letter was neither asking him for help, nor apologizing to him, but simply telling him. It was more like ordering him to do something.

"Master, do you want to reject Marquis Jing'an?" Lao Li asked softly.

When An Huairen heard this, his eyes widened, "Do you want Marquis Jing'an to kill me too?"

Although he was angry with Yang Zhengshan's attitude, he didn't dare to really cause trouble to Yang Zhengshan.

In his eyes, Yang Zhengshan was not only cruel and ruthless, but also very petty.

Zhou Ningwei, the censor who patrolled the city, is a lesson learned from the past. How miserable was Zhou Ningwei?

Not only did he lose his official position, his home was confiscated, and the entire family was sent to Suzhou Town in the northwest.

An Huairen was not stupid enough to touch Yang Zhengshan's bad luck.

At this moment, a shrill cry suddenly sounded outside the lobby door.

"Master, you have to make the decision for me!"

A woman with a delicate face and slim figure ran into the lobby with pear rain.

"Master, my brother is dead, wuwu, he was killed!"

"Master, you have to make the decision for me, and you have to seek justice for my brother!"

"Woo~"

There were tears on her beautiful face, and her beautiful appearance made people feel affection for her.

However, An Huairen had no intention of admiring his concubine's beauty at this time, and he threw her away with a look of disgust.

"master!"

The woman was a little surprised and a little heartbroken.

An Huairen waved his hand impatiently, "Take her down!"

It's just a woman, will he feel at ease?

As a prince, what kind of woman does he want?

"Ms. Wang, you'd better go back first!" Butler Li stepped forward and said.

Madam Wang looked at An Huairen, "Master, you, you have no conscience, I serve the master day and night, my brother was killed, and you didn't care!"

"You you~~"

This woman actually resented An Huairen.

"Idiot, you sold her to me!"

"Wang De'an is stupid, and so are you!"

An Huairen said coolly.

When she heard that she was going to be sold, the Queen became anxious, "No, Master, I am wrong, I know I am wrong, Master, please don't sell me!"

An Huairen was upset at this time, why would he care about this stupid woman.

"What are you still doing?"

Butler Li came to his senses and quickly called two boys to drag the woman out.

When they were dragged away, Butler Li said with some anxiety: "Master, I really want to betray Lady Wang!"

"What are you going to do if you don't sell it? Are you going to cause trouble for me?" An Huairen said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes~~ I will send Madam Wang to Yahang now!" Butler Li did not dare to say any more.

An Huairen thought for a while, then looked at the letter in his hand. Finally, he sighed helplessly, turned around and left the mansion, and went to the Yamen of Zuo Army Governor's Mansion to wipe Lin Zhan's butt.

Whether he was feeling aggrieved or angry, this was not worth offending Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan didn't care about An Huairen's anger. After he asked Ding Qiu to deliver the letter, he came to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, Yu Qingyi had just returned from the imperial city and was being served by Qingxia and Hongyun, wearing a complicated Xia robe.

"Why did the Queen recruit you to the palace?" Yang Zhengshan asked curiously.

It is not unusual for Yu Qingyi to enter the palace. In previous years, there were birthday banquets and the like in the palace, and Yu Qingyi was always called into the palace to attend the banquets.

However, today there is no festival or longevity, and the queen specially summoned Yu Qingyi into the palace, which made Yang Zhengshan a little strange.

Yu Qingyi smiled and said, "It's about Qu Shaogong and Wanqing's affairs!"

"What? The queen wants to be a matchmaker?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yu Qingyi said: "It's fine that Duke Xingguo is far away in Nanjiang Town, but there is not even a woman in charge of Duke Xingguo's house! The eldest wife and his wife both died young, and the second wife is also in poor health and cannot bear to travel long distances. So when Duke Xingguo came to Beijing last year, he entrusted the marriage between Shaogong and Shaoshang to His Majesty and the Queen! "

"The young palace is interested in Wanqing, so please ask the queen to come forward as a matchmaker! This is why the queen summoned the concubine to the palace today."

Yang Zhengshan nodded clearly, "You agreed!"

Yu Qingyi turned to look at him, "The master didn't even agree, how could I agree so casually?"

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought for a while, "Hey, this Xingguo Duke's Mansion is not a good place. I don't know if Wanqing will be wronged if she marries there!"

Yu Qingyi said: "Xingguo Duke's Mansion is actually not bad. At least Wanqing doesn't need to serve her parents-in-law when she gets married, so it saves her a lot of trouble!"

"Besides, there is currently no woman in charge of the Xingguo Duke's house. Wanqing will be able to take charge of the house after marrying her!"

Yang Zhengshan frowned, "But I don't know what Duke Xingguo's temper is. What if he is a nosy master?"

Yu Qingyi couldn't help but smile, "How old is Duke Xingguo? He can still take care of the affairs between young couples!"

"Then Nanjiang Town is so far away!" Yang Zhengshan was still worried.

Yu Qingyi was speechless, "Master, are you reluctant to let Wanqing get married?"

Yang Zhengshan snorted, "I just can't bear it, what's wrong?"

Although he had been worried about Wanqing's marriage during this period, when the matter came to an end, he was really reluctant to let it go.

When he came into this world, Wanqing was still a little one. She could only squeak and scratch his beard when she was held in a baby.

He helped Wanqing learn to walk, he held Wanqing while riding horses and played with her, he taught Wanqing to read and write, and he made a wooden short gun for Wanqing.

Although he is busy with official duties most of the time, he plays with his children whenever he has time.

Chengye, Chengmao and the others were okay, after all, they could stay with them even if they got married, but Wanqing would have to leave the Yang family once she got married, and he just felt a little uncomfortable.

Yu Qingyi couldn't help laughing, "If the master is reluctant to let go, I will enter the palace tomorrow and politely refuse to the queen!"

Yang Zhengshan shook his head, "Forget it, let's wait until Wu Zhan comes back in a few days."

The matter between Qu Shaogong and Yang Wanqing did not happen in a day or two. He had actually been prepared for it. Wu Zhan had already gone to Nanjiang Town to investigate Qu Shaogong's past.

Let's see what Qu Shaogong is like in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, whether there is a girl with whom he has been married, or whether there is a confidante who was his childhood sweetheart.

Although Qu Shaogong is very peaceful in Kyoto, who knows if he is just pretending.

Yu Qingyi nodded.
