The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 70 Fujian, Dangerous

"Father, what's going on?" Yang Xuan asked Yang Zhengbao nervously while holding a long stick.

I was reading a romance novel on the embroidery building, and I was fascinated by it.
Suddenly hearing five bronze bells, Yang Xuan stood up in a jerk, picked up a long stick and jumped down from the embroidery building.

Something big must have happened to the Lu family on the opposite side.

There is only one Huaxi River between the two clans. If something happens to the Lu family, the Yang family is likely to be affected as well.

If it weren't for the life-and-death arena, the two clans had a kind of balance and tacit understanding, and they would have thought that the Lu clan wanted to fight again.

Yang Zhengbao saw that his daughter was wearing a Confucian skirt, holding a long stick in her hand, and the corners of her mouth were covered with pastry crumbs, so he frowned and said, "Xuan'er, what are you doing?"

She is tall and beautiful, but she is not a lady at all. How can she find a good wife.

I'm almost dying of worry.

"The clock in Lu's ancestral hall has struck five times, something big must have happened." Yang Xuan said nervously, "Father, aren't they after us? Robbery?"

That shameless person became the patriarch, wouldn't he go to the Yang family to snatch him away?

Yang Zhengbao was annoyed by his daughter, and said angrily: "What are you thinking, that boy surnamed Lu is not so stupid, but the bronze bell of Lu's ancestral hall did ring five times. Qi Jun took people to investigate, and your fourth uncle is calling the heads of the houses to meet urgently."

After a pause, Yang Zhengbao frowned and said: "The Lu family has been doing a lot recently. Two days ago, Dawang saw a few of them flying out of the village quietly, and they seemed to be taking guys with them. There are people guarding all the small roads into the village, and I don’t know what to do.”

The person who knows himself best is often the enemy,
The two clans of Lu and Yang have been fighting for many years, and they know each other well, but they are separated by a river.
Lu's recent anomalies cannot be hidden from Yang's,

As long as it's none of your business, you don't bother to care about it.

"Following the shameless patriarch must be doing shameless things, don't implicate our Yang family." Yang Xuan said through gritted teeth.

For some reason, every time I think of that shameless person, I get angry.

"No matter what you do, it's other people's private business, so don't meddle too much," Yang Zhengbao warned his daughter with a straight face.

It's good for both parties to live in peace, so you don't have to worry about it all the time.

As for the lack of water for farming, it is enough to replant mulberry or dig a few more wells. The Yang family in Fuzhou does not count on the harvest in the fields to live on.
In the past, fighting was not all about that little water, but fighting for breath.

"Father, I'm very skilled, so I'm going to investigate and see what happened." Yang Xuan volunteered.

The bet failed, and he was hiding at home all the time, not daring to speak out, and was about to get sick from boredom.

Yang Zhengbao was happy, stroked his beard and said, "Why, aren't you afraid of seeing people from the Lu family?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll change into a man's clothes to make sure they won't recognize you."

"Go, remember not to be brave, if there is anything, come back and report immediately." Yang Zhengbao urged.

Being bored at home every day, Yang Zhengbao was also afraid that his daughter would get sick from boredom,

With my daughter's cleverness and skill, plus this is Yang's territory, I'm not afraid.

"Understood, Dad" Yang Xuan responded, hurriedly went to change clothes,

Walking to the gate of his embroidery building, he did not push the door,
Kicked the door open with a "bang" and shouted loudly:
"Xiao Hong, hurry up, find out my men's suit, I will change it soon"

Seeing his daughter's tough side, Yang Zhengbao couldn't help but twitched his old face.

She doesn't look like a lady at all, with this temperament, can she find a good husband?
Sad.

Don't think about the headache for now. Seeing that his daughter was about to go out to inquire, Yang Zhengbao also went out to discuss matters with the heads of the houses.

Soon, news related to the Lu family continued to spread back to Yang's ancestral hall:

There was no abnormality in the surrounding area, and there was no movement in the nearby guards;
The Lu family set up barriers at several intersections entering the village, prohibiting outsiders from entering the village;

The Lu family secretly brought back dozens of carts from the city, and some members of the clan saw that some of the Lu family's children bought ten loads of salt at one time;

I don't know what kind of fanatics the Lu family has, and all the people who go out to the village to do business are covered with face scarves;

Lu's several houses and clan elders left the village one by one, and they all set off by car, whether it was an ox cart or a horse cart;

Hearing the unusual news one after another, Yang Zhengbao frowned, rubbing his temples with his hands from time to time,

It's too abnormal, there must be a demon if something abnormal happens.

Yang Zhengshan, head of the second room, said angrily, "What is Lu going to do, he's so nervous."

"Yeah, I used to pick and pick, cut a piece of meat, I wish I could stew pig hairs on it, go shopping in carts and carts, and get in the cart when I go out, so I dug gold?" Yang Zhengshu echoed.

Yang Zhengxing, head of the Sanfangfang, said with some doubts: "My dog ​​was fishing in Huaxi yesterday, and when he was diving by the river, he heard the two women from the Lu family on the opposite side talking, saying that the patriarch is great, and bring back the sold tea hills. Well, the clansmen can eat meat every now and then, so judging from this, even if they didn't dig gold mines, they made a fortune."

The people of the two clans lived close to each other, and they could see each other clearly across the river. Sometimes they knew a lot of information without deliberately inquiring.

Patriarch Yang Guangan stroked his gray beard, turned his head and asked Yang Zhengbao, "Patriarch, what should we do?"

The head of the house, the elders of the clan, and the head of the column are just discussions, and only the patriarch Yang Zhengbao can make decisions.

All eyes were on the patriarch who was in his prime.

Yang Zhengbao put down the tea bowl in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and quickly made a decision: "The Lu family's actions should not be aimed at our Yang family. We have not had any conflicts recently, so you don't have to worry."

After a pause, Yang Zhengbao continued: "If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Although you don't know what will happen, you can't go wrong if you are prepared. Fourth, you should arrange more people to inquire about what happened to the Lu family on the other side to make such a big mess. battle."

"Understood, patriarch, I'll go right away." Knowing the urgency of the situation, Yang Zhengshu nodded and went right away.

"The head of each house restrains the people in each house, and the clan elders assist. Don't go out if you have nothing to do, and don't find someone when you need to hire someone."

"Understood, patriarch," the heads of the house and the clan elders responded calmly.

After everyone left, Yang Zhengbao also slowly walked home,
Before arriving at the door, I saw the maid Xiaohong anxiously walking around the door.

"Miss hasn't come back yet?" Yang Zhengbao asked hastily, his heart tightened.

"If you go back to the master, not yet, master, do you want to send someone to look for it?" Xiaohong asked worriedly.

Yang Zhengbao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It will take some time for her to inquire about the news, so let her do it."

With her daughter's martial arts, ten or eight boys can't get close to her, so it's not bad if she doesn't bully others,

It's okay to go around too, after the life-and-death ring, her daughter has never left the house, and Yang Zhengbao is afraid that she will be spoiled.

Someone saw Lu Changle, the patriarch of the Lu clan, also leave the village, and they didn't know what he was doing.

Just when Yang Zhengbao was at a loss, Lu Changle appeared in Changle City in a carriage.

Lu Changfu inquired about the news that several beggars in Changle City seemed to be sick. After Lu Changle found out, he decided to go and see for himself.

The carriage enters from the east gate, passes through the bustling streets, and arrives at the north of the city where poor people are concentrated.

Arriving at a remote place in the north of the city, Lu Changfu pointed to the front and said, "Patriarch, look, it's in the corner."

Lu Changle nodded, checked the face towel, and then opened the car window to look.
In an alley between two houses, several ragged beggars huddled together, coughing non-stop.
Some people cried out in pain, "My heart hurts" and "I'm so thirsty",
Under the somewhat dim light, Lu Changle saw with his own eyes a protruding lump of flesh on the neck of an old beggar.
Sensing that someone was watching him, the old beggar turned his head and looked curiously at the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley.
The moment he saw the old beggar clearly, Lu Changle was startled, regained his composure, and threw a bag of pastries wrapped in paper to the old beggar's feet.

After thinking about it, he took out a piece of broken silver and threw it over.

The old beggar was overjoyed, he picked up the broken silver and kowtowed to the carriage repeatedly, but he couldn't hear what he said.

Lu Changle didn't want to hear it either, and said with a heavy face: "Brother Changfu, go, go back to the village immediately."

The first time I saw the old beggar clearly, I saw that his face was so red that Guan Gong and his eyes were also red. Coupled with his thin face, he looked like a devil in the dim light.
Lu Changle was taken aback,
Chills and high fever, swollen lymph nodes, flushed face, and blurred consciousness are all typical symptoms of plague.
Fan Chengyin didn't lie to himself, the Great Wilderness Plan has been launched, spreading the plague in Fuzhou,

Fujian is in danger.
