So I play chess

Chapter 18
The Zheng family is a prosperous family in Tongcheng. They have multiplied and thrived here for more than a hundred years, and their forces have long been intertwined.From various industries to the city guards, there are children of the Zheng family everywhere.

It's just that since Yang Wantang gained power, no matter whether the rich or the rich, they have no role in Tongcheng.After several contests, the big clans accepted their position and lived their lives under Yang Wantang's nose.

Money goes out of rich households' houses in the morning and enters Yang Lang's mansion in the evening.Everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out. The only one who could cure him was Yan Luo in the underworld and the judge in the underworld. Everyone could only curse Yang Wantang for his early death in private, and the Patriarch of the Zheng family was the one who cursed the most.

As soon as the Liangzhou Army surrounded the Yang Mansion, the juniors of the Zheng family delivered the news to the Patriarch.The Patriarch first kowtowed to the ancestral tablet, and then sent Zheng De to inquire about the news.

At this time Zheng De was lying on a roof not far from the Yang Mansion diagonally, beside him were more than a dozen servants sent by other big clans.

At first there were only two or three people, and everyone felt embarrassed to meet each other on the roof, and they were afraid that if there were too many people, they would miss their whereabouts.But when there are more people to be treated and whereabouts are more easily exposed, they are not afraid anymore.

Even if the Liangzhou army wanted to arrest people, if he dared to offend the big families in the city, it would be nothing more than two or three families. Did he dare to offend all the big families in the city?
Thinking of this, the disciples and servants who were watching around Yang's mansion became more courageous and relieved one after another.

"Whose family is this person kneeling below?"

"I haven't seen it before, but hearing him yelling so badly, I'm afraid he has been wronged."

"Injustice has a lot of meaning, you don't know, Liang Zhoujun and Master Yang are friends, if he makes such a fuss, his life may be gone in a while."

Zheng De originally listened to the discussions of the people around him without saying a word, thinking about these people, who came from a small family, and the information he knew was not accurate, so whatever he thought, he just showed it on his face.The person next to him suddenly poked him with his arm.

"Zheng De, do you have any news? Tell us too."

As soon as this person finished speaking, the people around immediately followed suit, and the people from the Zheng family must have better news than they did.

There was a sudden sound of people here, people lying on the roof next to them, people riding on the trees heard the sound, even the nearest Liangzhou soldiers glanced at them.

Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly fell silent, Zheng De quietly raised his head and glanced at the Yang Mansion, then lowered his body, and said softly, "You guys don't want to die?"

The person next to him snorted, and said again: "Aren't we also in a hurry? We have been squatting for several hours, and there is no letter at all. If you have any news, tell us, whoever can't squat anymore, go back and hand in an errand." That's fine. Tomorrow, I invite you to go to Yunlou for a drink."

"Yes, yes." The surrounding people followed suit.

Zheng De took a deep breath, hissed, and quickly stopped them with gestures.

"Okay, okay, so I don't need you to guess here, let me tell you." Zheng De looked around, making sure that everyone was listening to him, and then continued to say proudly, "Don't talk nonsense to me here. Yes, I have heard that during the day when the Liangzhou Army surrounded the Yang Mansion, they broke in. Do you know what breaking in is called? Look at the broken door of the Yang Mansion, it was broken by the Liangzhou Army."

When everyone first arrived, they saw that the gate of Yang Mansion was broken, and now they followed Zheng De's words and took a few more glances.

Someone asked not so cleverly: "What does breaking the door have to do with this?"

"Your master dared to send you here, and his heart is too big." Zheng De glanced at him with disgust, "For such a high-ranking and powerful family, although it may not be a guest to welcome in, but whoever breaks in, then It must be the enemy."

Everyone thought it made sense one after another, and suddenly realized it and let out a cry of oh.Zheng De hastily gestured to silence them.

At this moment, a person suddenly heard a voice saying: "Come here!"

Everyone quickly silenced and looked towards the gate of the Yang Mansion.

The door is now open.Two teams of Yangzhou soldiers filed out, separated on both sides to surround the man kneeling at the door, and a man in a yellow-green shirt walked out of the door.Looking at this posture, it is obvious that he is the head of the Liangzhou Army.

The black-faced young general who was standing at the door just now moved the grand master's chair with his own hands, and placed it behind the man in the yellow-green shirt. The man sat down and opened his mouth to say something, but the voice was not loud, and people in the distance could not hear it clearly.

Zhou Tong: "Our general asked, who are you?"

Wen Liang walks in the dark all year round, and doesn't often talk to others, so his voice is naturally not loud. With Zhou Tong's voice, everyone around can hear clearly.

"General, the villain is from Yongzhou, and he came to Tongcheng to sue Yang Jia, the housekeeper of Yang Wantang!" Li Mao replied loudly.

"What's the report?"

Li Mao's expression was extremely resentful: "The villain sued Yang Jia to fight against Yang Wantang, occupy my house and kill my parents!"

"There is such a thing, please tell me in detail!" Zhou said.

"General, I have an ancestral house in Yongzhou. Half a month ago, Yang Jia brought a group of evil servants to say that he wanted to buy my ancestral house. My father refused. My father was beaten to death, and then my mother was forced to death. The little man’s house was occupied, and Master Liu was backing Yang Wantang in Yongzhou. He was really desperate, so he came to Tongcheng to find Yang Wantang desperately! Seeing that the general surrounded Yang’s mansion, he went to the court to sue. General, please be the master for me!"

Li Mao said these many words in one breath, and his voice was eloquent and eye-catching. After finishing speaking, he fell down on the ground and cried bitterly.

But Zhou Tong scolded: "Nonsense! Yang Wantang is the servant of Da Chu, and he is in Tongcheng. Yongzhou is Beiyuzhou County. How could Yang Wantang go to Yongzhou to occupy your ancestral house?"

Li Mao raised his head abruptly: "It's absolutely true, General! What the villain said is not half a lie. If the General is willing to make the decision for me, please confront Yang Jia!"

Wen Liang said: "If you really have grievances, now that I am here, I will definitely give you justice. Go back and rest, and make a decision after I have interrogated Yang Jia."

Li Mao cried: "When the villain sees the general's appearance, he knows that the general is righteous and selfless. He will definitely uphold the justice for the villain. The villain will kneel here. When the general examines Yang Jia, he will decide for the villain!"

The people watching around heard Li Mao's words clearly, and they were not surprised by the grievances mentioned in it, which often happened in Tongcheng.

Others didn't think much about it, but Zheng De figured out something unusual.

That's right, now that the war is going on in Great Chu and Beiyu, why does Yang Wantang, the servant of Great Chu, go to Beiyu to buy property?
This matter is so big that he can't guess it randomly, but he knows that once this news is sent to the Patriarch, he will definitely be able to ask for a reward.

After thinking about it, the general and the black-faced young general had already returned to the residence.Everyone wanted to wait for the result to see what the Liangzhou Army's attitude was towards Yang Wantang.

After waiting for half an hour, when the door opened again, the black-faced young general came out with a limp person in his hand.

"Our general has verified that what you said is true, and Yang Jia's actions are unacceptable. The general has ordered him to be killed to avenge you!"

After Zhou Tong finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the body of the housekeeper of Yang's mansion beside Li Mao.Li Mao rushed up to take a look, and punched the corpse twice, then knelt on the ground and cried, "General Xie is the villain's master!"

Zhou Tong said again: "Yang Wantang drove his servants to commit crimes. Our general will never allow these villains to go unpunished. But the evil he did is not the only one. We have taken down all the villains in the Yang family. The complainant, deal with it together."

As soon as the voice of Zhou's call fell, two teams of soldiers rushed out of the mansion over a hundred evil servants of Yang's mansion, and they stood all over the street in an instant.

Zhou Tong looked around, hammered the breastplate with his hand, and said loudly: "Here are all the villains in the Yang family. Anyone who has a grievance, feel free to complain."

The Liangzhou army moved at the same time, and the sonorous sound pierced the sky and spread throughout Tongcheng.

"The villains of the Yang family, here are all the villains. If there is a grievance, feel free to sue!"
