Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 458: Chapter 430 I was wrong about him, but unfortunately, he is already dead_2

Every day he goes to the yamen on time, and sometimes he has to work overtime. The low salary is one thing, but there’s no overtime pay.

Truly a pack animal!

Yang Zhenshan walked out of the Inner Ceremony Gate; Luo Jingsong was already waiting outside.

“Your subordinate pays respect to the Marquis!”

“Um, what is it?” Yang Zhenshan asked as he walked towards the General Mansion.

“The incident from last night has been investigated. It was the people from Tianquan Star Hall of the Star Moon Sect who sneaked into the city. Two months ago, Kou Rong, the Patrol Wind of Tianquan Star Hall, had already led more than a dozen thieves into the city.”

“Gu Yunjian entered the city yesterday morning, and he wanted to demand our lives from you last night!”

Luo Jingsong said.

They arrested the people from Tianquan Star Hall last night and immediately began the interrogation.

These were the results they obtained from the interrogation.

“So, he wasn’t trying to kill me?” Yang Zhenshan raised his eyebrows and asked.

“No, he was trying to kill us!” Luo Jingsong said somberly.

Yang Zhenshan smiled, “Then I was mistaken about him, too bad he’s already dead.”

“Did you catch all the people from Tianquan Star Hall?”

“No, I only caught a few minor characters who sneaked into North City, and I still haven’t found any trace of Kou Rong!” Luo Jingsong replied.

Kou Rong is the Patrol Wind of Tianquan Star Hall, similar to Ji Zhengfei from Yuheng Star Hall, considered one of the top four in the Star Hall.

Patrol Wind is a role similar to an inspector, mainly responsible for monitoring whether the swordsmen violate the sect rules or embezzle.

Luo Jingsong knew Kou Rong, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find any trace of him the entire night.

“Marquis, the city gates are still closed. Should we lock down the city and conduct a search?” Luo Jingsong asked in a low voice.

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s forget it. If we can’t catch them, then let’s not bother with it.”

Locking down the city for a search would have a great impact, especially since it is the busiest time at Chongshan Pass right now. If the city were locked down, it would definitely delay many matters. It’s not worth making such a big fuss over a few minor thugs.

“What about the Star Moon Sect?” Luo Jingsong’s voice was even lower.

There was no other way; this trouble was brought by them, and he was somewhat worried that Yang Zhenshan would hand them over to the Star Moon Sect.

Yang Zhenshan entered the study, sat behind the desk, and said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to worry about this. I will report this matter to the court and let them handle it.”

Warriors committing crimes is a common issue, and Jianghu Martial Artists are often lawless, especially those like the Star Moon Sect whose main hall is outside Da Rong and are the most prone to lose control.

The court has always kept a close watch on sects like the Star Moon Sect, and they will definitely not allow the Star Moon Sect to act recklessly within the territory of Da Rong.

Gu Yunjian’s nighttime entry into the Marquis Mansion is a matter that’s not too big, but not too small either.

After all, Yang Zhenshan was not harmed, instead, he ended up killing Gu Yunjian.

Therefore, the court won’t go to extremes against the Star Moon Sect due to this incident, but they will warn the Seven Stars Hall of the Star Moon Sect.

As for who will warn them, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice has the Military Suppression Department, which deals with crimes committed by martial artists.

The Ministry of Justice has the Martial Arts Department, which is responsible for monitoring the conflicts among Jianghu forces and capturing wanted martial artists notified by the government.

Additionally, the Secret Martial Guards also monitor Jianghu forces.

These three are the main regulatory agencies of the court over Jianghu forces and Jianghu Martial Artists, and they also compensate for the inadequate military force of local governments.

Yang Zhenshan doesn’t particulary care about Star Moon Sect’s hostility, but he’s happy to report the matter to the court and let the court trouble the Star Moon Sect.

Then, Yang Zhenshan drafted an official document and sent it to the Capital City.

This matter didn’t require a direct report; it only needed an official document sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and they would handle the process accordingly.

…

May 8th.

Yu Qingyi returned to Chongshan Pass.

When she went to the Capital City, it took them more than half a month on the road, but on the way back, she only took six days, clearly eager to return.

Inside the Marquis Mansion, Yang Zhenshan sat in the hall chuckling as Lin Zhan kowtowed to him.

“Haha, I never saw you cry when you were a child, but now that you’ve established a family, you started shedding tears!” Yang Zhenshan laughed loudly.

Lin Zhan cried, his tears somewhat heart-wrenching.

“It’s because your disciple’s temperament isn’t stable enough!” Lin Zhan said somewhat shamefully as he wiped the tears from his face.

“Haha~~” Yang Zhenshan smiled, then sighed slightly, “Ah, you’ve now got what you wished for, it’s time to return to your father and give him the good news!”

Only Lin Zhan knew his own hardships.

Having lost his parents at a young age and always lived under someone else’s roof,

Although everyone in the Yang family treated him well, and he had long considered the Yang family his own, living under someone else’s roof was still living under someone else’s roof.

He wasn’t crying because he was uncomfortable, but because he was happy to fulfill his father’s last wish and grateful to Yang Zhenshan.

Before he saw Yang Zhenshan, he could hold back, but seeing Yang Zhenshan, he could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.

During the days returning to Chongshan Pass, what he thought of most was not the joy of being top of the list or the anticipation of the future, but the memories of Yang Family Village more than ten years ago.

Every day he reminisced about the day Yang Zhenshan took him back to the Yang family.

“Disciple thanks Master!” Lin Zhan again kowtowed three times, Mrs. Zheng also followed in kowtowing.

Yang Zhenshan, having no choice, stepped forward to help him up, “Alright, get up now!”

Lin Zhan calmed his somewhat agitated emotions, “Master, I will return to Anning County tomorrow!”

Although they had passed through Jing’an Prefecture on the way back to Chongshan Pass, he still chose to return to Chongshan Pass first.

“Alright, go,” Yang Zhenshan didn’t say much, just patted his shoulder.

After that, Lin Zhan took his leave, as they, a young couple, had just come back and still needed to go tidy their own yard.

When they left, other people from the Yang family also began to leave, and soon only a few people remained in what was once a crowded hall.

Everyone else was gone, except for Wang Mingzhe.

“Do you have something to say?” Yang Zhenshan surprisingly looked at him.

Wang Mingzhe, the same age as Yang Wanqing at thirteen this year, had a personality that gave Yang Zhenshan a bit of a headache.

This kid had always been lazy since childhood; aside from sleeping, it was eating, seemingly uninterested in anything else.

Even now, he was still the same, look at his physique, he was almost catching up to Ms. Wang.

Among the three apprentices, this kid was the laziest.

“Uh, Master, I also want to follow Brother back to Anning County to take a look!” Wang Mingzhe scratched his head and said naively.

Yang Zhenshan looked at him, “Why suddenly want to go back and visit?”

“Disciple wants to offer incense to his parents,” said Wang Mingzhe.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, quietly observing him.

This kid with this kind of thought?

If Lin Zhan and Wang Yunqiao wanted to go back to offer incense to their parents, Yang Zhenshan would certainly not think much of it, but even this kid wanted to offer incense to his parents?

He was only a few months old when he came to the Yang family; he had not even the slightest impression of his parents, and as for feelings, there probably wouldn’t be much.

Of course, it was only right for Wang Mingzhe to want to go back and offer incense to his parents, Yang Zhenshan wasn’t trying to stop him, but something felt off.

It didn’t match Wang Mingzhe’s personality; with his lazy nature, he should wish to hide in the yard every day without coming out, yet now he actually wanted to leave, to Anning County no less, which obviously didn’t make sense.

Could this kid just be trying to find an excuse to be lazy!

At the Yang family, it was not easy for Wang Mingzhe to be lazy, although Yang Zhenshan wouldn’t monitor him, Yang Chengmao, Jiang Ning, and others would be with him while practicing martial arts or studying.

They had someone in charge of teaching them martial arts, the school’s teacher was equally strict.

He didn’t have a chance to be lazy.

But if he followed Lin Zhan to Anning County~~

Yang Zhenshan finally figured out what this kid was plotting!

Thinking that once he left the Yang family, no one would manage him, he could sleep in as much as he liked.

Haha, kid, you’re dreaming!

“Master!” Wang Mingzhe seeing Yang Zhenshan continuously staring at him without speaking, felt a bit nervous, cautiously called out.

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, “Indeed, you should also go back to offer incense to your parents! Let’s do this, tomorrow I’ll have your sister take you back with her.”

“Sister!” Wang Mingzhe was startled.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, “Your sister has been married for many years and hasn’t been back either; it’s a good opportunity for you both to go back together.”

“No need for that, isn’t Sister busy?” A panicked expression appeared on Wang Mingzhe’s chubby face.

If he went back with his sister, how could he be lazy?

Wang Yunqiao managing him would be even stricter than Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan at least wouldn’t physically punish his disciple, but Wang Yunqiao would hit her younger brother!

Wang Yunqiao’s slap was this kid’s nightmare.

Yang Zhenshan watched his face fill with panic, sneering in his heart.

You little rascal, trying to outsmart your master, huh~~
