The procession majestically drove into Yang Mansion, all the servants and servants stood in the front yard, quietly watching the procession silently. There was only surprise in their eyes, but more importantly, there was not a single trace of happiness when they saw the surprise of the tiger.

"Brother Yang Lin, there's something wrong with the expressions of the people in the Yang Mansion, why don't they look happy?"

Xu Zhu approached Yang Lin's ear and softly warned him. In fact, even without Xu Zhu's reminder, Yang Lin had already noticed that the atmosphere in the Yang Mansion was abnormal. The servants and servants did not smile at all, and even Yang Song and Yang Bai did not run out to welcome them.

"Hehe, it might be because they are unwilling to see the young miss getting married."

Yang Lin laughed awkwardly, but was a little depressed in his heart. He raised his head and saw a row of extravagantly dressed guests standing at the entrance of the Yang Mansion's main hall. The Lady Yang was also accompanying them. They pointed at the procession and did not smile.

What's wrong with the Yang Mansion? Could it be that Lady Yang reneged on her promise? Although her heart was filled with suspicions, Yang Lin still unhesitatingly rode his horse forward. When they were almost to the main hall's gate, Yang Lin dismounted from his horse and walked towards Lady Yang.

"Greetings Madam."

Yang Lin walked to Lady Yang's side, clasped his hands, and bowed to him at a regular distance. His tone was especially serious. Whether you go back on your word or not, the kimono has been sent, and things will not be good. If he agreed to all these things, it wouldn't end well if he went back on his word.

"No need for formalities."

Lady Yang nodded her head lightly. She did not even have any warmth as her eyes were full of melancholy. Her beautiful face no longer had its usual elegance, it was as if there was a layer of frost on it. She pointed to the customers on her left and right, introducing them coldly.

"This is my wife, this is my husband, these two are my wife's sons, Wang Gang and Wang Po. This is Eldest Uncle, these two are the young masters of Eldest Uncle, Li Liang and Li Qing.

Following the Lady Yang's introduction, Yang Lin took a glance at them and immediately understood the source of the problem. If Lady Yang went back on her word, she would never introduce her to her relatives. It must be because some of his relatives disagreed, that Lady Yang was unhappy. As a result, Yang Lin cupped his hands together and started to dislike his relatives.

"Hello everyone." These three are my good brothers, Xu Family Villa's three sons, Xu Zhu, Xu Ren and Xu Ding. These two are my brothers Yang Hu and Yang Bao. "

So it turns out that the three young masters of the Xu Family Villa have arrived.

"There's no need to be so polite Lady Yang. We are here to accompany Brother Yang Lin in sending him gifts."

The three young masters of the Xu Family were important guests after all, so Lady Yang hurriedly greeted Xu Zhu. Just as they were being courteous, Yang Feng suddenly walked over. He carefully sized up Yang Lin, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Yo, so this is a hero who killed a tiger with a single punch. What a handsome young man. No wonder my niece is looking for death. She really is handsome." Now, hurry up and marry my niece, so that she won't be unable to eat or sleep. "

Hearing Yang Feng's words, Yang Lin suddenly had a lot of questions in his heart. Since this nun approved of marrying the young miss to him, why wouldn't she be happy? He could not help but turn to look at Eldest Uncle, only to see him frowning. His face was filled with unhappiness as he sneered at Yang Feng.

"My aunt, you're being too impatient. You want to chase away your niece so quickly, so that you can occupy Yang Mansion?"

"Nonsense! Can I not worry about my niece's life? Marry my niece quickly so that you siblings can occupy Yang Mansion. "

The nun did not show any weakness and immediately started arguing with Eldest Uncle. She looked extremely fierce, just like a shrew. Even the master behind her and her two sons might feel that she had gone too far and feel embarrassed.

Yang Lin now understood, after all this, today you all are doing this for the Yang Mansion's family property, no wonder the nun was anxious for me to marry Yang Juan, and when I marry Yang Juan, you all came to take over the Yang Mansion? There isn't even a door so this Yang Mansion belongs to Yang Juan. But Yang Juan belongs to me, so everything that belongs to Yang Mansion belongs to me.

"Aunt, Eldest Uncle, what's wrong with you two? There are outsiders here, aren't you afraid of being laughed at! Who told you that I want to marry Yang Juan? Didn't you see? Everyone is bringing my dowry, I am here to be the home son-in-law, these brothers are my parents. Are you going to welcome the home son-in-law like this? "

"Ah …"

Everyone was shocked by Yang Lin's words. Following which, the and Madam were overjoyed, while the nun was extremely disappointed. Even Xu Zhu, Yang Hu, and Yang Bao found it unbelievable, how could anyone carry 5 million gold to become a home son-in-law?

"Please take a seat in the hall."

Lady Yang let out a long breath, as if she had let out all the depression in her heart. She quickly called for everyone to enter the hall. Who would be standing outside to greet their son-in-law? Eldest Uncle also hurriedly walked over, greeted the three Xu Zhu brothers and Yang Hu, and invited them into the great hall.

"Go and invite the young miss."

Lady Yang instructed the little girl beside him, and invited everyone to sit. In the main hall of the Yang family, there were two rows of seats, one on the left and the other on the right. In the middle of the room, there was a square table with two chairs beside it. It's just that for the past ten years, the position of the Master Yang had always been empty.

"Greetings, nun, Eldest Uncle, everyone."

Just then, Yang Juan walked in, and bowed to everyone, standing beside her mother. Lady Yang held Yang Juan's hand and walked to the seat that she usually sat on, pressed Yang Juan onto the seat, turned her head, pointed at the seat beside Yang Juan and smiled at him.

"Sit down."

After the conflict at the entrance of the Main Hall, Yang Lin finally understood that this Lady Yang had completely hurt her heart. He no longer wanted to waste time with his wife, and directly brought Yang Juan and Yang Lin out.

Yang Lin did not hesitate, the benefits he should gain would not be given up, the responsibilities he should bear would not be refused, and he would not act as if he was pretending. He nodded towards the Lady Yang and strode towards the seat and sat down stably.

"Yang Fa, call your family in."

Lady Yang said softly, and Yang Fa left. The others who were sitting on the chairs beside them looked at the Lady Yang in confusion. They did not know what she was planning to do, was it possible that she was going to hold the wedding ceremony for Yang Juan and Yang Juan here?

"Today, the main relatives of Yang Mansion have come. I hereby announce that from today onwards, Yang Lin and Yang Juan will be the masters of Yang Mansion."

"Wait."

At this point, Yang Feng finally understood that this was not a wedding, she was actually giving Yang Mansion to an outsider, he wanted to create a reality so that he could gag himself, and no matter what, he could not agree to it.

"This Yang Mansion belongs to our Yang Family, what right do you have to give it to this outsider?"

The hall suddenly quieted down. Eldest Uncle Li Shuang sat there with a gloomy face, but there was nothing he could do. As for Xu Zhu, Yang Hu and the rest, they were all outsiders, so it was hard to say anything. Even the servants and servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Well said!"

Just as the hall was about to freeze, a crisp female voice suddenly rang out. Everyone turned to look, to see that it was Yang Juan talking. She was sitting there steadily with no expression on her face, calmly nodding to everyone.

"This Yang Mansion is mine, Yang Lin is my husband, and this Yang Mansion is ours."

"Niece, don't be captivated by this pretty boy. In this world, who would take five million for a home son-in-law? He is clearly greedy for our Yang Mansion's family property, could it be that our Yang Mansion will just sell it to him so cheaply? "

Yang Feng shouted loudly, with a tone of crying, as though he had suffered a great grievance. The guests were all men, and none of them came forward to persuade her. This made her feel even more proud, and the more he cried, the more spirited she became. He almost fell to the ground in madness.

"Pah!"

Yang Lin suddenly slammed the table, and as if there was a clap of thunder, he slowly stood up. The entire hall was silent, the servants were kneeling, the guests were all looking at Yang Lin, even Yang Feng was so scared that he stopped crying. Yang Lin stood there coldly with a layer of frost on his face, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire audience.

"Originally, I came to Yang Mansion only for Miss Yang Juan, I really did not place this Yang Mansion property in my eyes. Because I like Miss Yang Juan, let alone five million, even if it's fifty million, five hundred million, I wouldn't care at all. I never thought that you all would have the same idea as the Yang Mansion, hmph, you all picked the wrong person, and planned the wrong thing wrong. From now on, everything that belongs to Yang Mansion is mine! If anyone dares to touch even a single blade of grass or tree in Yang Mansion, I will annihilate their entire family! "

As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Yang Fa immediately understood, this nun had met a ruthless person, she would not succeed in plotting against Yang Mansion. He raised his head to look at Yang Lin, the majesty of his face could not help but cause his entire body to tremble, and he immediately knelt down.

"Servant Yang Fa pays his respects to the lord and lady."

With Yang Fa taking the lead, Yang Cheng immediately knelt down. He had long wanted to lead the way and kneel down, but he felt that his face wasn't good. Yesterday, when Yang Lin was still calling him Uncle Cheng, he became a master today. However, Yang Fa saluted, then quickly followed.

"Servant Yang Cheng pays his respects to the lord and lady."

Immediately afterwards, all the servants and servants kneeled down, and all the servants outside the hall knelt down in unison. All of them had their butts raised, and they kowtowed three times as if they were pious believers.

"This servant pays his respect to the lord and lady."

Seeing that the raw rice had already been cooked, Yang Feng sat down angrily. She raised his head to look at Yang Lin, and his cold face made her shiver. It seemed that this guy was not someone to be trifled with. His hope of beating Yang Mansion would completely fail.

"Everyone, get up."

Yang Lin was not used to this kind of kneeling yet. For such a large group of people to kneel there, Yang Lin felt uncomfortable and did not feel the slightest bit of respect, especially when he saw the elders Yang Fa and Yang Cheng also kneeling, he felt very uncomfortable. He waved them to their feet.

"Uncle Fa and Uncle Cheng will stay behind. The rest can go."

When all the servants had gone down, Yang Lin originally wanted to invite the Madam to sit down, but who knew that she would sit down by the side. Yang Lin was no longer reluctant. He took a few steps forward, looked at Eldest Uncle Li Shuang, then turned his head to look at Master Wang Da, and slowly started speaking.

"I just said, if anyone dares to touch even a single blade of grass or tree in Yang Mansion, I will annihilate their entire clan."

At this point, he deliberately stopped so that they would have time to reflect on his words. Today was his day of celebration, he had originally wanted to invite the Xu Zhu brothers to a lively place, but who would have thought that the two main relatives of the Yang Mansion would come here, he suddenly had an idea.

"This time, the bandits' sneak attack on Yang Mansion cannot be let go like this. I must eliminate Zhang Dazui, Wang Laosan, and Liu Ergou, these three bandit groups. I want to let everyone know, if anyone dares to have any designs on Yang Mansion, there is only one ending, and that is death! "

"Starting from tomorrow, the Yang Mansion will recruit village men, striving to eliminate them by the end of the year, so that we can have a happy new year."

"The people sitting here today are either my good brothers or the main relatives of the Yang Mansion. Are you willing to help me eliminate these three groups of bandits?"

"Brother Yang Lin, no need to say anything, our Xu Family Villa will participate in the extermination of the bandits."

Just as Yang Lin finished speaking, Xu Zhu stood up, cupped his fists and solemnly promised Yang Lin. Yang Lin smiled at Xu Zhu, he knew Xu Zhu would be the first to agree. With Xu Zhu's personality, if Yang Lin treated him as a brother, he would definitely help Yang Lin.

"Killing bandits is indeed a good thing, and our Li family's villa is also participating."

Eldest Uncle nodded, as agreeing to Yang Lin's request. In fact, they, the big landlords, had also suffered greatly from bandits and were eager to exterminate them. They only asked the government to send troops, and these officials not only delayed them but also extorted them, which was not much better than robbers.

"Son-in-law, I have to remind you that this Zhang Dazui, Wang Laosan, and Liu Ergou is a bandit that belongs to two different counties and is not under the jurisdiction of our Henan Province. "If you go to someone else's territory to kill bandits, you'd better inform the government."

"Eldest Uncle is right. Tomorrow, I will go to the prefecture and see him. I would like to ask him to step out and coordinate with me."

Suddenly, Yang Lin remembered that he had once gambled with the young master of the Lord Taishang, so it just so happened that he could meet the Lord Taishang through him. Yang Lin had never interacted with the officials before, so he did not know much about the government. With an acquaintance, it would be much more convenient for him to handle matters.

"It's good to exterminate the bandits, but the reason why the bandits are generation after generation is because they have lived in deep mountains and forests for a long time. They live on very little land and hunt for a living. Even if you kill Zhang Dazui, Wang Laosan, Liu Ergou, there's still a possibility of another person coming out – Chen Datou, Old Jiang San, Wu Ergou.

Seeing that Xu Zhu and Li Shuang had agreed to participate in the bandit group battle, he felt that if he did not participate in the bandit group battle, he would be looked down upon. But if he participated in the bandit group battle, he was also not willing to help out Yang Mansion.

"Master, you're right. Killing bandits is not an option. We still have to take measures to deal with them. The villagers of Yang Family Villa, Xu Family Villa, Li Family Villa, and Wang Family Villa were also villagers, so why was it that none of them became bandits? That's because they can both farm and hunt. Although their days are difficult, they can still get along well. "

"Do you know? The Youzhou of the north has fertile land, a wide area of land, they can casually scatter seeds in the spring and harvest a grain in the autumn. However, due to the invasion of the Hu people, the Youzhou was sparsely populated, and a large amount of land was left unoccupied. "In addition, the gentry and mountaineers here all like to use horses, but they are all bad horses, while the northern barbarians have a large number of good horses."

"After the new year, I plan to set up a team of horse traders, and let those mountain residents with no land to participate in the sale of horses. I plan to sell the good horses of the Hu people to the Henan Province, and then use the money earned from the horse traders to buy some land in the Youzhou. Aren't they bloodthirsty and aggressive? I'll let them fight the Hu. Since we have solved the problem of the bandits here, and have built a family in the Youzhou, wouldn't we kill two birds with one stone? "

"Good idea, I will also go to the Youzhou to build a Xu Family Villa. We will be neighbors, what do you think?"

Xu Zhu praised him first, he was almost enchanted by Yang Lin's descriptions of their future, selling horses to earn money, buying land to build a house, and even going out to wander around to see the outside world, this was much better than spending his time doing nothing, and strolling around in the deep mountains.

"A good son-in-law truly lives up to his reputation as a scholar. His horizons are really broad, he actually thought of creating another Yang Family Villa. I have two sons, it's really necessary to build another Li Family Villa. In the future, one son will be in the Henan Province and one son will be in the Youzhou, so I can take care of both sides. "Haha …"

Eldest Uncle Li Shuang laughed happily. Yang Lin's idea really fit his plan. He had been worried about the future division of his two sons. Many large families became poor because their sons had more branches, making a portion of their businesses smaller and smaller. Eventually, they became small landlords.

"Alright, let's include our Wang Family Manor in that list. Earning money or not is a small matter. To be able to eliminate bandits, it can be considered a big concern."

Wang Da finally thought it through. Although he didn't like Yang Lin, but Yang Lin's idea, no matter what, had hundreds of benefits but no harm. He also had two sons, if he could go to Youzhou and set up a family business, he would rather be willing.
