Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 167: Madam Chapter 163, we are the real family

”Sir, Liang Rong has been captured and brought back!” At this moment, Wang Sheng ran in to report.

”Did you encounter any danger?” Yang Zhenshan scrutinized him thoroughly.

Wang Sheng chuckled, ”The Liang family did have a number of martial artists, but with a few capable personal followers by my side, we didn’t run into any trouble.”

Yang Zhenshan gave a slight nod, that’s the reason he had sent Wang Sheng to the Liang family, rather than Song Dashan.

The Liang family were wealthy merchants, and with Liang Rong engaging in such dangerous activities, it was certain he was accompanied by many martial artists. If Song Dashan had gone, he might not have been able to capture Liang Rong.

But Wang Sheng was different. As the eldest son of Wang Bin, the personal followers around Wang Sheng were all masters.

Some were even stronger than those around Yang Zhenshan himself.

No one could do anything about it, given that the man’s father was an Assistant General.

And the foundation of the Wang family was also profound.

”Put them all under custody!” Yang Zhenshan ordered.

He didn’t want to see Liang Rong; it would be pointless.

The relationship between the Yang family and the Liang family was merely through marriage, and it was with a side branch of the family at that—Third Master Liang’s.

Now that Yang Zhenshan had obtained a pardon for Third Master Liang, the life or death of the Liang family no longer affected the Yang family.

”Sir, we’re running out of prison cells!” Wang Sheng said.

Yang Zhenshan was stunned, ”How can that be? The Prefectural Government should have hundreds of cells!”

”But some people were already imprisoned in those cells, and we’ve already captured over a thousand men!” Wang Sheng said helplessly.

Yang Zhenshan scratched his head, ”How come there are so many?”

”The Liang family has many servants, and also many shopkeepers and clerks. We’ve just captured shopkeepers and clerks, we haven’t captured their families!”

”There are also quite a few civil servants and constables from the Military Equipment Department, not to mention the family and servants of Hao Zhaoxian, they’re also numerous!” Wang Sheng explained.

Like the Yang family, besides the dozen or so masters, there were sixty or seventy servants.

If you add the civil servants and constables from the garrison office, there would be two or three hundred people.

And the servants of the Lin and Liang families were far more numerous than those of the Yang family.

The civil servants and constables of the Prefectural Government office were in no way inferior to those of the garrison office.

Could these servants, civil servants, and constables be left unarrested?

Of course not!

No one knew if these people had any of their cronies amongst them or if other important figures were hiding.

Before the inspection, none of these people could be released.

The key point was that Yang Zhenshan was not responsible for the inspection; he had to wait for the Secret Martial Guards to come and conduct the investigation.

”Check if there are any vacant rooms, those shopkeepers and clerks can temporarily be detained in the storerooms.”

”These few days you will have to work hard, being responsible for guarding these people.”

”Alright, I will have Song Dashan assist you!” Yang Zhenshan arranged.

Han Cheng would be responsible for patrolling the city gates and within the city, Xie Yuan would be in charge of the city wall defenses, leaving only Wang Sheng and Song Dashan to take charge here.

”Yes!”

Yang Zhenshan waited in the Prefectural Government for a while, and only when Mr. Song had brought all the people back, did he return home.

By this time, the sky had already completely darkened.

”Dad!”

As Yang Zhenshan crossed the moon gate in the backyard, Yang Mingcheng greeted him.

He had just returned from outside the city not long ago; if he were not Yang Zhenshan’s eldest son, he wouldn’t have been able to enter the city.

”Alright, have you seen Yunxue?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”I’ve seen her, the little sister is doing well,” Yang Mingcheng followed at his side and said.

”Mmh, these next few days you should stay in and not go out until this matter is resolved!” Originally, Yang Zhenshan planned to head straight back to the main courtyard, but after a moment’s thought, he changed direction and went to Yang Yunxue and Wang Yunqiao’s courtyard instead.

There were many people in their courtyard at that moment; both Ms. Wang and the Liang family were there.

”Dad!”
