Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 463 Why is this not a simple method?

After Yang Yucheng left, the remaining people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Yanzhang stroked his chest gently, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then cast a questioning look at Uncle Zhang, who was sitting on the left side.

Uncle Zhang quickly stood up and came to Yang Yanzhang's side. He lowered his voice and whispered mysteriously: "Master, I'm afraid things are not simple this time!"

When Yang Yanzhang heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked in a low voice: "Why is this not a simple method?"

After Uncle Zhang pondered for a moment, he lowered his voice and said: "Sir, think about it, if Mr. Yang is really the one who committed arson, he should be hiding in the dark and observing secretly instead of running to the west mountain to set fire.

You must know that Xishan is the home of the Li family. If someone finds out, wouldn't it lead to fire? "

"Yeah." Yang Yanzhang nodded. Although he was still reluctant to admit it, it was indeed impossible for a playboy like Yang Yucheng to do such dangerous things.

Yang Yanzhang couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought of this. At the same time, he also felt a sense of fear in his heart. Fortunately, he went in time and did not cause a catastrophic disaster. Otherwise, he might have angered the Li family, and his future life in Yangzhou would not be the same. So peaceful.

"However, this matter definitely has nothing to do with me, and I can't let others falsely accuse me!" Yang Yanzhang muttered in his heart, with an angry look on his face.

"By the way, I heard that many of the Yang family's properties belong to the Li family?" Suddenly, Yang Yanzhang looked at Uncle Zhang and asked.

Uncle Zhang nodded and replied: "Yes, in addition, the Li family also controls 30% of the grain stores in Yangzhou City, 20% of which belong to my Yang family."

Yang Yanzhang squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes, with a strange light shining in his eyes. "Maybe we can borrow a knife to kill someone!" he murmured.

"Kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"Well, the Li family is a salt merchant and is in charge of the salt transportation in Yangzhou City.

Over the years, they have made huge profits every year. If the Li family can be dragged into the water, then they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. For us, the Yang family, this will definitely be a good thing with all the benefits and no harm! Yang Yanzhang said excitedly.

Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment and then said hesitantly: "The Li family is very powerful. If we provoke them rashly, we might anger the Li family."

"Haha, aren't we about to suppress the Li family's industry? If that's the case, then why don't we take the initiative to let them take the lead. In this way, we only need to add fuel to the flames." Yang Yanzhang said.

Uncle Zhang suddenly understood, clasped his fists and said, "Old slave, I understand, I am wise!"

Yang Yanzhang smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhang, please help me write a letter. I will take it back later and have someone send it to the county government to deliver it to the county magistrate."

Uncle Zhang immediately took the order and left.

Yang Yanzhang sat on a chair, closed his eyes and sipped tea quietly, but he was thinking in his mind: Although the Li family is powerful, he also has a profound background. Moreover, his grandmother was the eldest daughter of Yang Guodong, the governor of Jiangnan.

His uncle also worked as a weaver in Jiangning and has deep roots in Jiangning. Calculating this way, I may not lose to the Li family! The most important thing is that this matter is led by the Yang family.

As long as he doesn't add insult to injury, even if the matter is revealed, the Li family can't blame him.

Yang Yucheng returned to Yang Mansion in a sedan chair and went straight to the courtyard where his father lived. As soon as they entered the house, they found that the lights were brightly lit, and Yang Yanchen and his wife were sitting anxiously waiting in the room.

"Father, mother, what happened?" Yang Yucheng saw this and asked quickly.

Seeing that her son was finally back, Mrs. Yang rushed over with red and swollen eyes, hugged Yang Yucheng, and choked: "My son, you scared me to death, oooooo~." Yang Yanchen was serious. Face scolded: "Yucheng, you are too silly. What were you doing in the heavy rain last night? Don't you know that you are still a child now? If you have an accident, how will your parents live?"

Yang Yucheng put his arm around his mother's shoulders and comforted her, "I'm fine."

"Oh, luckily nothing happened this time. If something happened, how would your father and I survive?" Mrs. Yang cried.

At this time Yang Yanzhang also came to the house. Seeing that Yang Yucheng came back safe and sound, Yang Yanzhang's heart finally dropped, and he was secretly grateful at the same time.

However, his face was still gloomy and he said in a cold tone: "You evil beast, you dare to set fire privately. If I hadn't responded in time today, the entire Yangyuan would have been reduced to ashes!"

Yang Yucheng's heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed something. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Father, please forgive me. The child was confused for a moment and made a big mistake."

"Humph, were you confused for a moment? If someone hadn't blocked it, you would have ruined the arson case!" Yang Yanzhang pointed at Yang Yucheng and said sharply.

Yang Yucheng was speechless for a while. He hated the people behind the scenes.

"Dad, I didn't expect that the arson case was so complicated, and the other party actually used kerosene, so it caused such serious casualties.

Not only that, the other party even blamed the child, who is scared to think about it now. If the other party really succeeds, then our Yang family will be completely doomed. "

As Yang Yucheng spoke, he glanced at Yang Yanzhang secretly, hoping to convince his father that he was unjustly accused.

Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly and said: "No matter whether you are really innocent or not, you will definitely be punished for breaking into a private house this time. Now come with me to the execution room to be punished!"

Yang Yanzhang's statement is obviously on Yang Yucheng's side.

"Master!" A servant hurriedly walked in, "The county magistrate wants to see you!"

"Oh? Magistrate Liu is here, please come quickly." Yang Yanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this and said immediately.

As soon as Yang Yanzhang stepped through the door of the torture chamber, Liu Shouli walked in behind.

"Greetings to Magistrate Liu!" Yang Yanzhang and Yang Yanchen immediately saluted Liu Shouren.

Liu Shouli said solemnly: "I was ordered to investigate the salt administration corruption case in the Salt Affairs Department, and I came to Yuan Wai Yang to learn about the case. I wonder if Yuan Wai Yang knows about the case?"

Yang Yanzhang smiled bitterly when he heard this, bowed and said: "I don't know, I only know that it was a whistleblower who reported the salt affairs corruption in the county's Salt Affairs Department."

"Informer?" Liu Shouren said suspiciously.

Yang Yanzhang nodded and said: "Xiaguan's nephew Yang Yanchen is the county captain of this county. According to him, Yang Yucheng once set a fire in the salt field, which not only burned several tons of gold, but also burned nearly a thousand kilograms of grain, and several A shop."

Liu Shouren couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this.

"Is this true?" Liu Shouren turned to Yang Yanchen and asked in a deep voice.

Yang Yanchen gave a bitter smile and sighed: "This is because Mr. Yang lost his mind for a moment and made such a stupid mistake. Please forgive me, the magistrate."
