Chapter 269 You are all getting old, it’s time to enjoy your life at home

The Lan family’s home is really big, with pavilions, towers, gardens and ponds. However, the layout is different from that of ordinary courtyards.

A general courtyard is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is where men live, including the hall and study for receiving guests, guest rooms, and the home school, etc.

The backyard is where the family lives. Larger mansions will be divided into a residential courtyard and a separate courtyard, while smaller houses will be divided into the main house, east and west wing rooms, etc.

The Lan family’s mansion also has front and back yards, but their front and back yards are much larger.

There are hundreds of houses of various types in the front yard, divided into six courtyards, and there is also a large martial arts training ground.

The backyard is even more exaggerated, with a large garden in the middle, with corridors, pavilions, rockeries, flowing water, and countless precious plants. Even though it is winter now, the scenery is still very beautiful.

In fact, this is no longer a garden. It is similar to the park in the previous life, covering an area of ​​six or seven acres.

There are eight courtyards around the garden, each of which is no smaller than the one in Yang's house in Anyuan City.

Yang Zhengshan toured the entire Lan family mansion, which took him almost an hour, which shows how big the Lan family mansion is.

Originally, Yang Zhengshan had no intention of occupying the Lan family mansion, but after visiting the Wei Si Yamen, he had to occupy the Lan family mansion.

After a tour, Yang Zhengshan briefly sketched the layout of the Lan family mansion, and then called Yang Mingcheng, Xie Yuan, Song Dashan and others.

"Mingcheng, take your family to this yard later. This yard will be our home from now on. In the next two days, take a look at any inappropriate places and arrange for someone to modify them!"

Yang Zhengshan pointed to the largest courtyard among them. This courtyard originally belonged to Lan Buqi, but now it belongs to the Yang family.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan would not take this courtyard as his own, but would make it an asset of the Weisi Yamen.

"Dad, I understand. I'll arrange it right away!" Yang Mingcheng said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, "You go and make the arrangements first. We won't be staying in a tent outside the city today!"

After Yang Zhengshan left, he pointed to the yard next to him and said to Song Dashan, "This yard is for you. Ask your family to clean it up first!"

"Okay!" Song Dashan smiled innocently.

Apart from the Yang family's courtyard, his courtyard is the best and is closest to the Yang family.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan, Xie Yuan and Wu Chongzhe were each given a courtyard. As for the others, those with smaller families were given a small courtyard, while those with larger families were given two adjacent small courtyards.

Yang Zhengshan directly arranged the remaining soldiers in the front yard.

After the division, Yang Zhengshan said, "Let's live like this for now. Once we have sorted out the issues, we can renovate this place. We can use the front yard as the Weisi Yamen, tear down the outer walls, and then renovate the unsuitable places."

The Lan family mansion occupied half of the Acropolis, which was obviously inappropriate.

Yang Zhengshan has already planned to split up the Lan family mansion, keeping the main courtyard but demolishing all unnecessary corridors, and then open up the roads to free up some space to build houses and shops.

For Yang Zhengshan, a magnificent mansion is far less important than a prosperous Acropolis.

The mansion just needs to be large enough to live in, there's no need to be too luxurious. If the Acropolis can be developed, it can bring a steady stream of income to the Weisi Yamen.

Although he had just arrived at the Acropolis, Yang Zhengshan already had a lot of things in his mind.

Everyone settled down like this for the time being. The next day, Yang Zhengshan moved the Wei Si Yamen directly to the front yard of the Lan family.

In fact, the front yard of the Lan family is really suitable to be the Wei Si Yamen.

The area is large enough, there are enough rooms, as well as stables, warehouses and martial arts training grounds, which can almost meet all the needs of the Weisi Yamen for building facilities.

Even if there are some places that are not suitable, they only need slight modifications.

In the morning, all the officials of Tenglongwei arrived.

Two deputy commanders and four assistant commanders gathered in the lobby of the Lan family. No, it should be the lobby of the Weisi Yamen now.

There were six people in total, standing in front of Yang Zhengshan respectfully, not daring to breathe.

Yang Zhengshan sat in the main seat, his eyes scanning them one by one.

"You are all getting old, it's time to enjoy your retirement at home!"

He said calmly.

The six people's expressions changed slightly, but they still lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"This general will not pursue the previous issues, but there will be no place for you in Tenglong Guard in the future! Do you understand?" Yang Zhengshan said directly.

One of the six people secretly looked up at Yang Zhengshan, but still did not dare to speak.

"Now this general has only one request for you. Help my people to take over the Tenglong Guard. If you do well, you can go home and enjoy a peaceful life. If you don't do well, this general will send you to accompany the three brothers Lan Buqi!"

Finally someone spoke up. Wang Yingcheng, the commander of the Tenglong Guard, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I obey your orders. I will do my best to cooperate. I also ask the general to be magnanimous and forgive the mistakes we made before!"

Are they guilty?
A responsibility for dereliction of duty is inevitable.

Moreover, they had taken a lot of things from the Lan family. If they were really to be convicted, exile would be the lightest punishment.

Yang Zhengshan didn't think of investigating all these people, because they were still useful and he still needed them to help him control the Tenglong Guard.

After all, he was a newcomer and his understanding of Tenglongwei was still very one-sided, so he needed some familiar people to help take over Tenglongwei.

"very good!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded in satisfaction, and then shouted: "Xie Yuan! Song Dashan!"

"I'm here!" Outside the door, Xie Yuan and Song Dashan walked in.

"From now on, the two of you will temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief of Tenglong Guard." Yang Zhengshan said.

"Thank you, sir!" The two of them thanked him happily.

Both of them were only Qianhu before, but now they have jumped to become the commander-in-chief of the guards, which is equivalent to three levels of promotion.

Although Yang Zhengshan said it was a temporary replacement, they all knew that this temporary replacement would be removed soon. Yang Zhengshan ignored the two happy people and continued to make arrangements according to his own calculations: "Wu Chongzhe will temporarily take over the position of deputy commander and take charge of the Tenglong Vanguard."

"Yang Mingzhi will temporarily take over the position of deputy commander and take charge of Tenglong's rear guard."

"Luo Feiyu will temporarily take over the position of deputy commander and take charge of Tenglong Left Guard."

"Yang Mingzhen will temporarily take over the post of deputy commander and take charge of Tenglong Right Guard."

"Yang Minghao will temporarily take over the post of pacification and build the pacification office!"

"Han Fei temporarily takes over the position of experience and sets up the experience department!"

"Zhou Ren, Lu Wenhua is the governor, you should first recruit all the clerks and runners for our Weisi Yamen!"

After receiving the appointment from Yang Zhengshan, everyone came forward to express their gratitude.

Everyone was overjoyed.

The others were fine, but the happiest ones were Han Fei, Zhou Ren and Lu Wenhua.

Both of them had no rank before, but now they were appointed as experience and clerk.

The experience rank is the seventh rank, and the clerk rank is the eighth rank.

Although they were all minor officials, they were also official positions of certain ranks.

In fact, for Han Fei and Lu Wenhua, this official position is really nothing. They are both warriors and can be appointed as centurions in the army.

But now, the most urgent task for Yang Zhengshan is to build the Weisi Yamen first and make it operate normally, so he arranged such an official position for them.

The four deputy commanders were in charge of Tenglong's front, back, left and right guards respectively. However, except for the Tenglong vanguard, the other three guards were basically useless.

"Who was in charge of Tenglong Vanguard before?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

The Tenglong Vanguard still maintains its complete structure. The soldiers who were previously responsible for guarding the city were soldiers of the Tenglong Vanguard. And the Tenglong Vanguard has always been under the control of the Lan family.

Unfortunately, the soldiers were incompetent and the generals were incompetent too. In addition, Yang Zhengshan acted decisively and quickly, so the Lan family was captured by Yang Zhengshan before they could even summon the soldiers of the Tenglong vanguard.

The soldiers of Tenglong's vanguard were also directly suppressed.

There are now about 800 Tenglong vanguard soldiers in the Acropolis, but they are all under control in the camp.

"It's me!" A gray-haired guy stood up and said.

The Lan family was able to control the Tenglong Vanguard mainly because they occupied several thousand-household positions in the Tenglong Vanguard. The commander in chief who was nominally in charge of the Tenglong Vanguard was actually a puppet and had no business at all.

But he is an old man of Tenglong Guard after all, and those soldiers must know him.

"I don't need to tell you what to do!"

"I understand. I will comfort the soldiers and let them see the situation clearly!" This man is not stupid.

"Well, let's leave it at that for now, you all go get busy!"

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand and everyone bowed and left.

There will definitely be some turmoil among the Tenglong Guards, but Yang Zhengshan is not worried about it.

Yang Zhengshan overthrew the Lan family with thundering means, which had already shocked all the people in Tenglong Guard. Moreover, he had 500 soldiers under his command, so he was not afraid of anyone jumping out to cause trouble at this time.

After arranging the affairs of the Wei Si Yamen, Yang Zhengshan turned to the room where the three brothers of the Lan family were imprisoned.

The three brothers' scapulae were pierced and they were all tied up.

When Yang Zhengshan entered the room, the three brothers had different expressions.

When Lan Buqi saw Yang Zhengshan coming in, he looked pleading.

Lan Buqun had a look of resentment on his face. If his mouth had not been blocked, he would probably have started cursing.

As for Lan Buzheng, his face was calm. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes as he looked at Yang Zhengshan.

Looking at Lan Buzheng's eyes, Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly.

In this case, the calmer he is, the deeper his thoughts are.

"Want to scold me?" Yang Zhengshan walked up to Lan Buqun and asked.

"Woo woo woo~~" Lan Buqun stared at Yang Zhengshan with resentment on his face.

"Your wife and kids are next door!"

Yang Zhengshan said lightly.

After hearing this, Lan Buqun froze for a moment.

Yang Zhengshan ignored him. His attendant brought a chair and he sat down, then signaled to his attendant to take out the rag that was gagged over his mouth.

"General, general!"

As soon as the rag was taken away, Lan Buqi called out.

"Shut up!" Yang Zhengshan looked at him coldly.

Lan Buqi froze and stopped the prayer that was about to come out of his mouth.

Lan Buqun's face was still full of resentment, but he did not curse. He just stared at Yang Zhengshan.

As for Lan Buzheng, his eyes remained calm.
