Chapter 478 Confrontation (6K+)

"Your calculation of seven or two people seems to be a disadvantage to your Yang family. It makes people think that you, Mr. Yang Yanyang, are magnanimous and don't remember the faults of villains. In fact, you are advancing by retreating, and you should "clear it out" first." , and then mentioned 1000 taels to settle this matter, causing the villagers of Yushui Village to think that they had taken advantage of it, but in fact..." Zhuang Haoran looked at Yang Yan and sneered, "This account was not calculated right from the beginning! I don't understand!"

"Why is it wrong?" Yang Yan raised his eyelids, looked at Zhuang Haoran with an indifferent expression, "Are you talking about what is wrong with my calculation?"

Zhuang Haoran sneered and said, "Not to mention that today's seven taels of silver is different from the seven taels of 20 years ago. The price of such money has depreciated over time. It is said that the reason why people are human is that they are living things. As long as they are alive There are countless possibilities for every step a person makes, and you cut off all the possibilities directly with one calculation, and regarded Li Dali and Li Er as dead chess pieces on the chessboard that will not change!"

Just like Li Da and Li Er are indeed peasants who make a living by farming, but the days of peasants change slightly every day.On a certain day, if you happen to meet a wild animal on the way up the mountain, if you kill and sell it, you will get extra money in the account. If they really go down the river to save someone, they will reward you generously and return the money. This is also an additional account. .

Li Da and Li Er are in their prime of life, they can do these things, and it is indeed possible to encounter them in daily life.Even one day, if they get the opportunity to do a small business and achieve something, or to be recruited into the army and achieve something, these are all possible.

But in Yang Yan's calculations, Li Dali and Li Er are immutable, just like chess pieces on the chessboard that they will not move again, and everything will only act according to the wishes of the chess player.

Yang Yan's seven-two-one cut off countless possibilities for the future of these two people, but it still makes people think that the Yang family is "showing kindness" and "magnanimity", which is simply ridiculous!
Therefore, the reason why it is always said that human life is priceless and precious is because there are countless possibilities and opportunities accompanying human life.

This truth was told to him by his mother who accompanied him when he was studying and complaining when he was young.

"My son, do young people complain of suffering, but old age is suffering!"

Young people have enough energy and time to explore countless possibilities for the rest of their lives, but when they grow old, most of them have more energy than they want.

This is why his official career was almost cut off back then, and his mother died of illness in a hurry. From his mother's point of view, it meant that countless possibilities were cut off. The hard work of studying hard for many years was wasted, how could he not worry? ?

Thinking of his dead mother, Zhuang Haoran felt heavy. He looked at Yang Yan in front of him: "Those villagers and common people didn't realize this. They thought that the 1000 taels from you, Mr. Yang, was a great gift, but they forgot that those countless possibilities were also a gift." Those who are valuable are far more valuable than seven or two people."

Hearing what Zhuang Haoran said, Yang Yan smiled faintly, and looked at Zhuang Haoran: "Master Zhuang is right, the two who died did have the possibility of making a fortune, so why didn't Master Zhuang just agree with this reasoning?" Did they make it clear?" At this point, Yang Yan paused, and then spoke again, but he meant something: "Those people are obedient to Mr. Zhuang's words."

These incidents in front of Yang's house are related to Zhuang Haoran, which Yang Yan naturally knew at a glance.

Zhuang Haoran looked at him without speaking.

Yang Yan didn't care when he saw this, he smiled again, and continued: "But how much ability and possibility do they have to go to the top? They are not people like Mr. Zhuang who are almost cut off from their careers and can get up again. They are mediocre people, and it is possible for Master Zhuang to say that they may become successful, but in the same way, it is very possible for these people to be mediocre for a lifetime."

Of course Zhuang Haoran knew this: this is also the reason why he didn't stop the people just now.

In terms of verbal confrontation, Yang Yan also did not lose. When it comes to arguing, it is difficult to draw a conclusion.The onlookers, the villagers of Yushui Village, and even the parents of Li Da and Li Er have already made their choices. If he argues forcefully, under such circumstances, it will not be able to meet the "will of the people."

Forget it, this matter...Compared to the original Yang family's indistinct situation, the current ending is considered "better".

This confrontation made him even more aware of Yang Yan's methods.

Zhuang Haoran did not shy away from looking at Yang Yan who was smiling lightly in front of him. From the beginning of the meeting, Yang Yan was so calm and easy-going, even when faced with the crying "bad luck" made by the villagers of Yushui Village in front of the mansion. ", Yang Yan, who is so particular about Fengshui, didn't change his face, but he really responded to Mr. Wang's comment, "The old fox has a very deep palace, and he is a formidable enemy!"

I don't know what else in this world can break Yang Yan's "indifferent" appearance, so he wants to see it.

After talking with Zhuang Haoran, Yang Yan ignored Zhuang Haoran: This county magistrate may be a person in time, but at this time, he has no need to care about such people. If Wang San appeared in front of him in person, he might be able to Let him pay attention to one or two.

The "mourning" who cried outside the door for nearly half a month finally left, the door of the Yang family's mansion was opened, and the steward of the Yang family rushed out with someone, shouting: "My lord, you are finally back, at home... "

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Yan's confidantes: "Steward, what's the matter with you?"

When he said this, the confidants' faces were also full of doubts.

They have only been gone for more than a year!But look at the steward in front of him... I remember that before they left home, this steward was still the one who acted prudently and properly. Although he was incomparable with a person like an adult, he was also a person with some skills and means in daily life, and he was able to deal with everything with ease. .

But it's been a year since I've seen him. How did the steward in front of me, who was prudent and steady a year ago, become like this?

Not to mention that when the adults came, they didn't know to come out, they just closed the door and hid inside, if such a timid and timid appearance was in the past, let alone being in charge, even a servant may not be qualified !

When the adults solve the troubles outside, people will know that they have come out, but looking at the steward who ran over in such a hurry and almost tripped over his left foot, I don't know why, but it always makes people feel a little "panicked". inside.

In the past year, it seemed as if he was a different person, with no stability and nothing, it was just... as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit!
The confidant complained in his heart, and couldn't help showing disgust when he looked at the steward in front of him: If the steward looked like this, it might be better to find a dog to be the steward than him.

This is just the grievances and complaints in his heart, originally he was just thinking about it when he was angry, but after listening to the next words, he really felt that finding a dog to be in charge was better than him, and the dog didn't have to give an example. Silver, just give a bowl of rice!
Yang Yanzi was also a little dissatisfied with the hasty attitude of the steward, but compared to his confidant whose thoughts were written on his face, he was still calm and composed, but he just called the flustered steward: "How is the family, everything But okay?"

The steward shook his head hastily: "No...not good, my lord, if you don't come back, the house will be messed up!"

Yang Yan gave a faint "hmm" when he heard the words, and while raising his feet to step over the raised threshold, he asked in the same flat tone as before: "Where is the second lady? Let her come to the lobby to meet me!"

"The second lady is missing!" said the steward.

Yang Yan, who had stepped over the threshold, paused, raised his head and said to the steward without changing his expression: "Take my post and go and bring Miss Er back!"

"Second Miss can't be brought back either!" said the steward, "Ji Shizi wrote yesterday to say that he escorted Second Miss back to Beijing as promised."

Yang Yan's unchanging expression heard a moment of stiffness here, he frowned and looked at the steward, his voice was slightly higher than usual calm: "Who else is there?"

"Old madam..." The steward was talking, but before he finished speaking, an old doctor with a medical box on his back came over from the corridor. Seeing someone coming, the steward instinctively opened his mouth and finished what he hadn't said, "Scared Lost legs."

Yang Yan's face darkened.

Zhuang Haoran, who hadn't had time to leave in the future, saw that Yang Yan, who had been expressionless since the meeting, changed his face when he saw his own housekeeper and only said a few words.Zhuang Haoran immediately raised his eyebrows with such a "responsive" method, but he couldn't help being surprised: I don't know what can make Yang Yan, who is known as "Mount Tai overwhelmed without changing his face", change his face, and I don't know which hero did it. !
But the surprise was the surprise, Zhuang Haoran didn't come any closer, after all, he had already confronted Yang Yan today, and confronting someone like Yang Yan would be too exhausting, and he was not in a hurry.

On the contrary, the ten-step long corridor of the old doctor had already come to the end, and he saw Yang Yan who was about to enter the door from a distance. Home, which one is the real caller.Seeing Yang Yan at this time, he immediately stepped forward to salute, saying: "I have seen Master Yang!"

Although this old doctor is an acquaintance of the Yang family, he is often invited for diagnosis and treatment because of his good medical skills, but he is not one of his own after all.At this moment, Yang Yan had returned to his previous indifferent appearance, nodded with a smile, and said, "Old Doctor Xiang!"

Returning to the old doctor again, seeing Yang Yan at this time, thinking of the old lady Yang I saw earlier, so I told Yang Yan the result of the diagnosis and treatment again: "The old lady's legs and feet should be healthy, and the muscles and bones will be hurt. For a hundred days, the old lady is old and slow to raise, don't let the old lady move too much. Also, the old lady can't move too much. She lives in bed for a long time, so she will inevitably be in a bad mood and get depressed easily. You should give me some advice , to prevent her from getting depressed..."

Yang Yan patiently listened to the old doctor Xiang's words, nodded in agreement, and glanced at his confidant, the confidant immediately understood, took out the silver from his waist and handed it to the old lady, thanking him again.

After some polite greetings, he took the money from the old lady and left. Yang Yan stepped into the door, suppressed the smile on his face when he greeted the old doctor, and went to meet the only one in the entire Yang family mansion at this time. One master who is still alive - Mrs. Yang who has injured her leg.

When Yang Yan came in, Xiu'er was feeding Mrs. Yang medicine, and she heard Mrs. Yang's endless abuse: "That bitch, I don't know if she is dead or alive, when my Yan'er comes back, she will definitely be a demon again. Blow the pillow wind..."

Before they finished speaking, the servants guarding outside the door suddenly knelt down and shouted: "I have seen you, my lord!"

Mrs. Yang, who was cursing, immediately became happy when she heard it, and straightened up suddenly. Xiu'er, who was feeding the medicine a moment ago, suddenly got up unexpectedly, and an unsteady medicine immediately spilled out and spilled all over her.

Fortunately, the temperature of the medicine was not too hot at this time, but the sticky and bitter medicine soup flowed down her neck, which was really uncomfortable.

"You bastard..." At the moment when the medicine bowl was spilled, Mrs. Yang's complexion changed slightly, and she subconsciously backed away, without thinking, she blurted out curses, and when she saw that the medicine bowl was not When she didn't splash herself, but splashed Xiu'er all over, she stopped the "slut" abuse, and reprimanded Xiu'er, "How did you do it? You can't even hold the medicine..." While speaking, he didn't forget to point to the quilt The two drops of concoction that were spilled, "Someone come and change it!"

As early as when the medicine bowl was spilled, Xiu'er knelt down, and at this time she heard Mrs. Yang's words, and said "yes" quickly.

Mrs. Yang ignored Xiu'er, turned to look at the person who walked in, and said excitedly: "Yan'er, you are back!"

It's good that Yan'er is back, her crutches can be found.

Yang Yan let out a "huh" and glanced at Xiu'er who was kneeling in front of Mrs. Yang's bed. Mrs. Yang followed his gaze and quickly explained: "Yan'er, it's Dali who helped you Pick a replacement for..."

"Let's all go out!" Yang Yan interrupted Mrs. Yang and said to her, "Mother, I have something to ask you."

Even if the old lady and Dali were as stupid as pigs, they wouldn't make such a fuss, someone must have meddled in the Yang family's affairs.

Xiu'er backed away.

After Xiu'er withdrew, Mrs. Yang finally explained: "That is the substitute that Dali found, and the second wife you told the outside world."

Yang Yan let out a "hmm", indicating that he knew about it, and then asked, "Where are those letters?"

The root of the chaos in the Yang family lies in those forged letters of his. If someone hadn't used his identity to reply to the letter to make Mrs. Yang and Dali fight each other, it wouldn't have become like this.

Of course, the current state of chaos is definitely not just an internal struggle.

The letters presented by the steward were divided into two piles, one was from "Yang Yan" and Mrs. Yang, and the other was from "Yang Yan" and Dali.Mrs. Yang saw the letters she wrote with "Yang Yan" at a glance, and before Yang Yan stretched out her hand, she hurriedly pushed her stack to Yang Yan, and said anxiously: "Yan'er, look Whether these letters are genuine or not, what’s the problem?”

Yang Yan opened the stack of letters one by one and read them one by one. He did not read slowly. After reading the stack of letters, he put them aside, and said to Mrs. Yang who was eagerly waiting for his answer: "There is no problem with the letter. "

Only then did Mrs. Yang breathe a sigh of relief, and sighed: "I knew my letter was true, and Dali's is the only problem, it's a fake, it's her fault..."

Compared with Mrs. Yang's stack, Dali's here is a lot less, only a few. Yang Yan opened each letter and spread it out on the table. After reading it once, his eyes fell on the path of each letter. After reading the stamps of each letter on the stamp of the post station, Yang Yan interrupted the chattering Mrs. Yang: "Her ones are fine."

Mrs. Yang was startled when she heard this sentence, and instinctively said: "Yan'er, this..."

Yang Yan looked down at the letters spread out on the table, and said: "It's no wonder you, even I can't see what's wrong with these letters, even the stamps of the post station, and the traces of rain and snow on the road are all considered. Here it is, there are indeed some skills!"

Mrs. Yang, who was relieved when she heard Yang Yan say "no problem" a moment ago, suddenly felt tense when she heard that, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously: "Yan'er, then this letter..."

"If I didn't know that I hadn't written this letter, I would have thought it was real!" Yang Yan looked down at the letter spread out on the table, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, only thoughtful, "These The letter is fake, but the methods of handwriting, stamping and even hijacking the letter are extremely powerful!"

Speaking of this, Yang Yan took out a few letters from his pocket and put them on the table, then picked out three of them and handed them to Mrs. Yang, saying: "If so, the few letters I received should not be true. .”

On the one hand, the other party used the identities of Mrs. Yang and Dali to communicate with him, comforting him, making him think that everything is safe here in Gusu, and at the same time using his identity to pick up old Mrs. Yang and Dali who were already at odds. Such a method of deceiving each other by the three parties was not revealed until the end, no, it may not be revealed, maybe the other party stopped.

A few thoughts flashed through Yang Yan's mind, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and murmured in amazement while reading the letter, "Is this letter real or fake?" "Have I ever written such a letter?" "I Why don't you have any impression?" Mrs. Yang said, "Mother, what happened to Dali?"

In the other party's letter, he used his identity to acquiesce that they were fighting among themselves, but her mother had been suffering from hidden illness for many years, and all the power in the family fell into Dali's hands. If there was any internal fighting, mother would definitely not be Dali's opponent.

But the current result is really unexpected. Yang Yan doesn't think that if others don't intervene, his mother can win against Dali under such a situation.

The ending has become like this now, there must be others to intervene.

Yang Yan rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little troubled.

Of course, he knew the temperament of Mrs. Yang the most. If she bluntly said that she could not beat Dali in front of Mrs. Yang who had a high self-esteem, Mrs. Yang would definitely not admit it.Besides, looking at Mrs. Yang's current appearance, she still felt that Dali had won by her own means. Under such circumstances, no matter how she asked, she might not be able to find out why.

The fact that the other party was able to secretly use his identity to deceive the three parties shows that the concealment is excellent, and even he, if he hadn't seen these letters with his own eyes, would have never noticed it.It is very unlikely that Mrs. Yang can detect it by means, otherwise, she would not have this gritted teeth in hatred until now.

Opponents are good at hiding, and it is not easy to check.

Looking at the current mess of the Yang family's mansion, Yang Yan's expression darkened: He knew the nature of the two women in the back house.The same tricks, the same conceit and arrogance.The "stableness" of these two people in the first 20 years was just because he was there, and those methods were invisible to him.

Such two people who are equally conceited, arrogant and scheming naturally want to compete for superiority.Without him, it's not surprising that these two people would tear their faces apart and fight. He also knew that these two people would fight, but he originally thought that she and the two of them would not be able to escape the Yang's mansion no matter how hard they struggled, but he didn't expect that things would turn out like this look.

Of course, there must be someone else's handwriting in this.

"Mother has disliked her for a long time, why did she suddenly attack her?" Yang Yan looked at Mrs. Yang and asked.

Although these two women are unwilling to be subordinate to others, they still listen to his words and will definitely remember his explanation before leaving. There must be a reason for their sudden actions.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yang gritted her teeth in hatred, looked at Yang Yan, and cried: "Yan'er, do you know that my headache is a good thing done by that bitch?"

Mrs. Yang felt that she was not wrong, which mother would accept a daughter-in-law with such a background and such a bad reputation?

Even if Yaner insisted on letting her in, this woman who is uneasy at first glance cannot let her be the master of the back house, so after Dali enters the door, Mrs. Yang always calls her to stand by her side. The rules go.

After setting the rules for more than half a year, she suffered from a hidden headache. Although she was a little suspicious of the headache, the doctor couldn't see why, so she could only doubt it.

Delegating power because of headaches and hidden diseases is not willing. After suffering 20 years of "grievances", how can Mrs. Yang be reconciled after learning the truth?
It's not that Yang Yan doesn't know about the actions among the women in the back house. He also knows that most of this matter has something to do with Da Li, but since he let Da Li in, he has his own reasons, but Mrs. Yang doesn't know about these things.At that time, Mrs. Yang was always tormenting Dali, and it was indeed inconvenient for Dali to do things.Furthermore, Dali assured him that these medicines would not harm Mrs. Yang's body, so he acquiesced to Dali's actions.

After all, it is not a trivial matter for two women who are also unwilling to be under others to fight each other. Although he is not afraid of these things, he still has his own things to do. It's not a bad thing to say.

It's just that this so-called inner house is not the real inner house after all. Mrs. Yang had no choice but to give in and make a comeback one day. Unfortunately, he was not in Gusu when he made a comeback, and the inner house was out of control.

"How can I bear that bitch treating me like this? Yan'er, you don't know that that bitch made everyone in the mansion look at her as the second wife, not me as the old lady! He even went to bed with me!" She has to find someone to watch her, and she will watch me as a prisoner for every move, Yan'er, do you think this bitch is too much?" Mrs. Yang complained to Yang Yan angrily.

Yang Yan frowned: "She wouldn't have dared to do that when Wei Shi was still here." Even if Mrs. Yang didn't know something, she was determined not to harm him, and Dali did it.

But with Dali's temper, she would indeed do such a thing.

"What is the Wei family? She is just afraid of you!" Mrs. Yang said bitterly, "That woman has always acted like this, and she did things extremely well! If you are not here, the entire Yang family's inner house will be under her control." Under control, she will be the first to deal with me!"

Mrs. Yang was not the type to lie down and let others rub her flat and round her, so she also started to fight back.

"Although I have decided to deal with her, I am not prepared to kill her," Mrs. Yang said angrily, "I want to arrest her and lock her up in my mountain garden. I will wait for you when you come back." However, she refused to be obedient and wanted to run around, but fell into the mountain and disfigured her..."

"You said she was disfigured?" Hearing this, Yang Yan suddenly interrupted Mrs. Yang's words.
