Chapter 163 Madam, We Are a Family
"Sir, Liang Rong has been captured!" At this time, Wang Sheng came running to report.

"Are you in no danger?" Yang Zhengshan looked him up and down.

Wang Sheng chuckled, "The Liang family does have a lot of warriors, but I have a few powerful followers around me, so I didn't encounter any danger."

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. This was why he sent Wang Sheng to the Liang family instead of letting Song Dashan go.

The Liang family is a wealthy family, and Liang Rong is doing such a dangerous thing, so he must be surrounded by many warriors. If Song Dashan goes there, he may not be able to capture Liang Rong.

But Wang Sheng is different. As Wang Bin’s eldest son, all of his close followers are masters.

Even stronger than Yang Zhengshan's close followers.

There's nothing I can do about it, since he has a father who is a lieutenant general.

Moreover, the Wang family has a deep foundation.

"Arrest them all!" Yang Zhengshan ordered.

He didn't want to see Liang Rong, there was no point.

The relationship between the Yang family and the Liang family is just in-laws, and they are in-laws of the branch of Mr. Liang Sanye.

Now that Yang Zhengshan has helped Mr. Liang Sanye obtain the pardon order, the life and death of the Liang family will not affect the Yang family at all.

"Sir, there are not enough cells!" said Wang Sheng.

Yang Zhengshan was stunned. "How can it not be enough? The prefectural government should have hundreds of cells!"

"But there are already some people in those cells, and we have already arrested thousands of people!" Wang Sheng said helplessly.

Yang Zhengshan scratched his head, "How can there be so many!"

"The Liang family has a lot of servants, and there are many shopkeepers and clerks in the Liang family. We only arrested the shopkeepers and clerks, not their families!"

"There are also quite a few clerks and runners from the Military Preparation Department, plus Hao Zhaoxian's family and servants, there are also quite a few!"

Wang Sheng explained.

Just like the Yang family, in addition to a dozen masters, there are sixty or seventy servants.

If we add the clerks and runners of the garrison office, there are still about two to three hundred people.

The Lin and Liang families have far more slaves than the Yang family.

The clerks and runners in the prefectural office are no match for those in the garrison office.

Then can we not arrest these slaves, clerks and runners?
Of course not!

No one knows whether there are any of their confidants among them, or whether there are other important people hiding.

These people cannot be released without being screened.

The key point is that Yang Zhengshan is not responsible for the review. He has to wait for the Secret Guards to come and review it.

"See if there is any vacant room. We can temporarily detain those shopkeepers and clerks in the warehouse."

"You will have to work hard these few days and be responsible for guarding these people."

"Well, I'll let Song Dashan assist you!"

Yang Zhengshan arranged.

Han Cheng will be responsible for patrolling the four city gates and the city. Xie Yuan will be responsible for the defense of the city walls. Only Wang Sheng and Song Dashan can be responsible for this side.

"Yes!"

Yang Zhengshan waited in the prefectural government office for a while, and only returned home after Lord Song had brought all the people back.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened.

"father!"

As soon as Yang Zhengshan stepped through the moon gate in the backyard, Yang Mingcheng came to meet him.

He had just returned from outside the city. If he had not been Yang Zhengshan's eldest son, he would not have been able to enter the city.

"Well, have you gone to see Yunxue?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"I've checked. My little sister is fine." Yang Mingcheng followed him and said.

"Well, don't go out these days. Wait until this matter is over before going out!" Yang Zhengshan originally wanted to go back to the main courtyard directly, but after thinking about it, he turned around and went to the courtyard where Yang Yunxue and Wang Yunqiao lived.

There were quite a few people in their yard at this time, including Wang and Liang.

"father!"

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming, Yang Yunxue smiled.

The little girl changed her clothes and dressed up again. She looked in good spirits.

"Well, let me see if you feel any discomfort!" Yang Zhengshan looked at the little girl again.

The little girl should be the best-looking one in the Yang family. However, her appearance is not the kind that makes people stunning, but she has regular features and is pleasing to the eye.

The little girl still has some baby fat on her face, which makes her look particularly cute.

"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry!" Yang Yunxue said with a smile on her face.

Although she had just experienced a shock, Yang Yunxue did not feel too much fear in her heart.

She is not that kind of weak little girl, she is strong by nature.

"Ok!"

Yang Zhengshan patted her little head, then looked at Wang and Liang, "You guys chat first, and then we'll go to the main courtyard to eat!"

After the Chinese New Year, Yang Zhengshan asked each hospital to open its own fire.

There is no way. There are more and more people in the family and it is a bit crowded to eat together.

Besides, it was freezing cold and the child was still young, so it was not suitable for them to go to the main courtyard to eat every morning and evening.

The most important thing is that Yang Zhengshan also wants to be alone with Yu Qingyi. He has a lot of things to do, and except at night, he can only sit with Yu Qingyi at dinner time.

So after the New Year, he let each room eat its own meals. The meals were prepared by the big kitchen and delivered to each courtyard at mealtime.

"Dad, I understand. I'll arrange it later!" Wang replied. Yang Zhengshan nodded and went back to the main courtyard.

When he returned to the main courtyard, Yu Qingyi came to meet him, helped him take off his thick clothes, and found a loose Chengzi clothes for him to change into.

"Is Yunxue okay?" Yu Qingyi asked while helping Yang Zhengshan change his clothes.

Since Yang Zhengshan expressed his feelings last time, their relationship has become closer. Although they still maintain the courtesy, Yu Qingyi has become accustomed to serving Yang Zhengshan actively.

"It's okay, I just checked, the little girl was not frightened!" Yang Zhengshan said casually.

"That's good!" Yu Qingyi said.

"Why don't you go and see for yourself?" Yang Zhengshan asked after changing his clothes.

Yu Qingyi looked up in astonishment, "Didn't you forbid me to leave the yard?"

"..."

Yang Zhengshan was speechless.

He had forgotten about it.

But this woman is too obedient.

"You can leave the yard now. Well, you should be able to go back in a few days!"

"Really!" Yu Qingyi was surprised and happy.

"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you!" Seeing her surprised look, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but reached out and pinched her cheek.

"do not do that!"

When he pinched her, Yu Qingyi couldn't help feeling shy again and lowered her head.

"Hahaha~~" Yang Zhengshan seemed to like seeing her shy look, "I'll go back with you then."

"Ah! Where are you going?" Yu Qingyi was a little nervous.

"I'm afraid you won't come back!" Yang Zhengshan said jokingly.

However, Yu Qingyi didn't seem to be in the mood to joke with Yang Zhengshan, and asked, "Are you really going?"

"Yeah!" Yang Zhengshan nodded seriously.

He took Yu Qingyi's hand and sat on the Arhat bed, saying, "I went to the Tianqing Sword Sect for two reasons. One is to propose marriage, and the other is to recruit a group of warriors from your Tianqing Sword Sect!"

Yu Qingyi looked at him with shining eyes.

Propose marriage!

She felt happy.

However, when she heard that Yang Zhengshan was going to recruit warriors, her mind became clear again.

"Why do you want to recruit warriors?"

Yang Zhengshan explained: "The family needs some guards, and those boys will need some time to grow up."

"We are married, so we are a family. If I ask you to lend me a few warriors, you probably won't refuse!"

Yang Yunxue’s incident made Yang Zhengshan realize that the Yang family did not have enough guards, but even though he wanted to recruit warriors, he could not recruit them from outside at will.

Whether you can trust is the question.

In comparison, it is much easier to recruit warriors from the Tianqing Sword Sect, and they are more trustworthy.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can marry Yu Qingyi.

Yu Qingyi lowered her head and fell into deep thought. The Tianqing Sword Sect did have quite a few warriors. The four elders were all warriors above the fifth level of the acquired realm. There were seven or eight of her fellow disciples who were at the third level of the acquired realm. There were also twenty or thirty young disciples, most of whom were also warriors.

In addition, the Tianqing Sword Sect also has many slaves, numbering more than two hundred. They are all private slaves of the Tianqing Sword Sect and have been loyal to the Tianqing Sword Sect for generations. Many of them are also warriors.

For example, the two maids who followed her before were both acquired second or third level warriors.

Although they are a little older, they are still capable.

However, she is not the only one who has the final say in the Tianqing Sword Sect. Although she is the head of the sect, the four elders are all her uncles. If she wants to marry Yang Zhengshan, she needs the consent of these four uncles, not to mention lending people to Yang Zhengshan.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to borrow people unless you can convince my four uncles!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan asked: "How can you convince your four uncles?"

Yu Qingyi blinked and looked at him without saying anything.

Yang Zhengshan also looked at her, "Madam, we are a family, you can't be so mean!"

Yu Qingyi blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Ahem, I'm telling the truth!" Yang Zhengshan coughed lightly, "Give me some information quickly, so I know how to convince your uncles."

The leaders of your families are all my favorites, and I don’t believe that you scum will not obediently serve me.

Although Yu Qingyi was a little embarrassed, she still said: "It is not difficult to convince my four uncles, as long as you can bring benefits to my Tianqing Sword Sect!"

"What benefits?" Yang Zhengshan became serious.

"For example, recommend my disciples to be officials!" Yu Qingyi said.

The natural official position for a warrior is a military officer. In fact, it is very easy for a warrior to become a military officer. An ordinary warrior can join the army and stay in the army for a year. He can be promoted to a small flag officer. If his cultivation is higher, he can even become a general flag officer.

But if you want to go higher, you need other conditions.

If a post-natal warrior joins the army, he will generally be assigned a trial position as a centurion. He will work there for a year or two, and if he does well, he can become a centurion.

As for higher official positions, it is not impossible. As long as someone recommends you and you have sufficient cultivation, you can also serve as a deputy captain, pacification officer, or guard commander.

Wei Zhihuiqian is basically the highest official position a martial artist can hold. If one wants to seek a higher official position, it is not a matter of recommendation, but one needs to work hard in the officialdom on his own.

For official positions like general flag bearer and centurion, there is a difference between having someone recommend and not having someone recommend.

Having someone recommend you can save some time, as you don't have to go through a one-year probation period, and it can also be more stable. After all, someone who can recommend a warrior to join the army must hold a high official position.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan had recommended Lu Wenchun and Yang Minghao for official positions in his name.
