Chapter 429 I was wrong about him. Unfortunately, he is already dead.

As the night deepened, the mansion returned to its previous tranquility.

But the situation inside Chongshan Pass has not yet calmed down.

Yang Zhengshan went back to his bedroom to farm, but Luo Jinsong and others did not go to rest. Gu Yunjian definitely did not come alone, there must be people from the Xingyue Sect in the city.

This month, the Zhenbiao Front Camp was responsible for the defense of Chongshan Pass. Upon learning that an assassin had invaded the Marquis' Mansion, the Zhenbiao Front Camp guerrilla general Luo Feiyu and the camp officer Yang Chengxu immediately led the soldiers in a search.

Luo Jinsong and Li Chengguo also participated in the search. After all, the people who invaded the marquis' mansion were from the Xingyue Sect, and no one here knew the Xingyue Sect better than them.

The area they searched was mainly the North City District, because after nightfall, the gates between the South City District and the North City District would be closed, and no one was allowed to open the gates except for the order from the General's Office. Even the leaders of the Governor's Office and the eunuchs guarding the town, and the soldiers of the Zhenbiao Camp, did not recognize them.

As for how Gu Yunjian and Kou Rong entered North City, it was actually not difficult.

At night, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to enter the North City, but it is still easy for martial arts masters to enter the North City because they can climb over the city walls.

Although there were soldiers on duty and patrolling on the city walls, their skills were relatively low, so it was not difficult for them to sneak into the North City quietly by surrounding the soldiers.

Apart from the military camps, the government offices and the residences of officials, there are no ordinary people in the North City, so it is easier to search and arrest.

Soon, there was some commotion in the North City, and several warriors in black tights were captured by the soldiers.

However, there were only a few warriors. The soldiers were busy all night and searched almost the entire North City. Even the mansions of Pang Tang and Li Mingzhong were searched, but nothing was found.

……

The next morning.

Yang Zhengshan got up early. In fact, he had not slept all night. He had been taking care of the medicinal herbs and tea trees in the Lingquan space.

But even though he hadn't slept all night, he was still full of energy.

After reaching the innate realm, he found that his mind was always in an extremely active state. In the past, he could go without sleep for three to five days, but fatigue was inevitable. But now, he has not slept for five days, and he does not feel the slightest bit of fatigue, either physically or mentally.

This doesn't mean that he doesn't need sleep, it just means that his body and mind are full of energy, and even if he doesn't sleep for a long time, it won't have much impact on him.

Of course, sleeping is still the best way for him to rest, so innate warriors also need to sleep.

When Yang Zhengshan walked out of the bedroom, Nanny Song was already waiting in the outer room with a few maids.

"My Lord!" When Nanny Song and several maids saw Yang Zhengshan coming out, they hurriedly saluted.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, went forward to wash his face, and asked, "Is Mingzhao still sleeping?"

"Well, the young master is sleeping soundly!" Nanny Song said with a loving smile on her face.

Yang Zhengshan wiped his face and said, "Tell him to get up and have breakfast later, so he won't be late for school."

"Don't worry, my lord. I won't let the young master sleep in!" Nanny Song laughed.

If you ask who is the person who spoils Mingzhao the most at home, it is not Yang Zhengshan, nor Yu Qingyi, but Nanny Song.

Yang Zhengshan has a bottom line when it comes to spoiling his children: playing around is allowed, but it cannot interfere with their studies and practice.

Although Yu Qingyi loves children, she is stricter with Mingzhao than Yang Zhengshan.

In comparison, Nanny Song was so obedient to Ming Zhao that she treated him like her little ancestor.

Fortunately, Nanny Song also understood Yang Zhengshan's temper and knew that he should not be late for school, so she would not let Mingzhao sleep in.

After washing up, Yang Zhengshan took his gun and went to the yard to practice his shooting skills.

The heavy black iron spear was dancing, making bursts of breaking air sounds, and this breaking air sound could be heard everywhere in the mansion.

Morning exercises have become a habit of the Yang family. No matter whether they are family members or servants, they will get up early and practice for an hour.

Therefore, every morning, bursts of breaking air sounds could be heard everywhere in the mansion.

After Yang Zhengshan finished practicing his spear skills, he practiced sword skills, knife skills and Thousand Machine Hands for a while. He practiced for almost an hour before stopping.

At his level, there is actually no need to spend a lot of time practicing shooting. He has already mastered more than a dozen shooting techniques to perfection.

You just need to familiarize yourself with it every day so that you don't feel unfamiliar with it.

When he practiced with gun, sword, and knife, what he was actually practicing was the manipulation of his innate true energy, rather than the ordinary skills he had used before.

After finishing his practice, Yang Zhengshan returned to the house and had breakfast with Mingzhao.

"Dad, when will mom come back?"

Ming Zhao was so eager to get to know Yu Qingyi that he asked her about her two or three times a day, which made Yang Zhengshan feel that this guy was a bit annoying.

"It should be in these few days!" Yang Zhengshan said casually.

"Just these few days?" Ming Zhao pouted in dissatisfaction.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him helplessly, "Dad doesn't know either!"

He guessed that Yu Qingyi should have already set out from Kyoto, but he didn't know where exactly she had gone.

Ming Zhao curled his lips and lowered his head to eat the food in the bowl.

Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to chat with him. That was just how kids were, and he was used to it. Ming Zhao was probably also used to his somewhat unreliable father.

After breakfast, Yang Zhengshan packed up simply and prepared to go to the yamen.

On the surface, he is the Marquis of Jing'an of Dayong, the Deputy Governor of the Central Military Governor's Office, and the General of Chongshan Town, but in reality he is just an employee of the court.

I have to go to and from work on time every day, and sometimes I have to work overtime. Not only is the salary low, but there is no overtime pay.

A real cow or horse!
When Yang Zhengshan walked out of the inner gate, Luo Jinsong was already waiting outside.

"Your subordinate greets the Marquis!"

"Well, what's the matter?" Yang Zhengshan asked as he walked towards the general's mansion.

"We have already investigated what happened last night. The people who sneaked into the city this time were from the Tianquan Xingtang of Xingyue Sect. As early as two months ago, Patrolman Kou Rong of Tianquan Xingtang led a dozen thieves to sneak into the city."

"Gu Yunjian came into the city yesterday morning. Last night he wanted to ask the Marquis for me and others!"

Luo Jinsong said.

After they captured the people from Tianquan Xingtang last night, they immediately started interrogating them.

These are the results of their interrogation.

"So he doesn't want to kill me?" Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, he wants to kill us!" Luo Jinsong said dully.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "I was wrong about him. It's a pity that he is already dead."

"Have all the people from Tianquan Xingtang been caught?"

"No, I only caught a few small characters who sneaked into the North City. I haven't found any trace of Kou Rong yet!" Luo Jinsong replied.

Kou Rong is the patrol officer of Tianquan Star Hall. Like Ji Zhengfei in Yuheng Star Hall before, he is considered the fourth in command in the star hall.

The patrol officer is a position similar to that of an inspector, who is mainly responsible for checking whether the swordsmen have violated the rules of the sect or have embezzled money.

Luo Jinsong knew Kou Rong, but unfortunately he couldn't find him after searching for a whole night.

"My lord, the city gates are not open yet. Do we want to seal off the city and search?" Luo Jinsong asked in a low voice.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. If we can't catch them, then forget it. Don't worry about them!"

Closing the city and searching for people would have too much of an impact, especially since this is the busiest time in Chongshan Pass. If the city is closed, it would definitely delay a lot of things. There is no need to make such a big fuss just for a few minions. It's not worth it.

"What about Xingyue Sect?" Luo Jinsong's voice became even lower.

There was no way, this was the trouble they had caused, and he was a little worried that Yang Zhengshan would hand them over to Xingyuemen. Yang Zhengshan entered the study, sat behind the desk, and said nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will report this matter to the court and let the court handle it."

The knights break the law with their martial arts, and martial artists have always been lawless, especially martial arts forces like the Xingyue Sect that set up their headquarters outside of Darong, which are the easiest to get out of control.

The imperial court has always been monitoring sects like the Xingyue Sect and will never allow them to do whatever they want in Darong.

Gu Yunjian broke into the Marquis's mansion at night. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small one either.

After all, Yang Zhengshan did not suffer any harm, but Gu Yunjian was killed by him.

Therefore, the court will not kill all of Xingyue Sect because of this incident, but will warn the Qixingtang of Xingyue Sect.

As for who will warn, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.

The Ministry of Justice has a Zhenwu Division, which is responsible for crimes committed by military personnel.

The Dali Temple has a Wuzhi Division, which is responsible for monitoring the struggles between underworld forces and arresting martial arts criminals wanted by the government.

In addition, the Secret Guards will also monitor the forces in the martial arts world.

These three are the main regulatory agencies of the court over underworld forces and underworld warriors, and are also important agencies to make up for the low military power of local governments.

Yang Zhengshan didn't care much about the hostility of Xingyue Sect, but he was also happy to report the matter to the court and let the court find trouble with Xingyue Sect.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan wrote an official document and had it sent to Kyoto.

This kind of matter does not need to be reported to the emperor. All you need to do is send an official document to the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice will handle it according to the procedure.

……

May 8th.

Yu Qingyi returned to Chongshan Pass.

When they went to Kyoto, they were on the road for more than half a month, but it only took her six days to return. She was so eager to go home.

Inside the Marquis' Mansion, Yang Zhengshan sat in the main hall and watched Lin Zhan kowtow to him with a smile.

"Haha, I never saw you cry when you were a child. I didn't expect that now that you have started a family and a career, I would see you crying!" Yang Zhengshan laughed.

Lin Zhan cried, and his crying was so heartbreaking.

"It's because I'm not calm enough!" Lin Zhan wiped the tears from his face with some shame.

"Haha~~" Yang Zhengshan laughed and sighed slightly, "Hey, now you have finally got what you wanted. It's time to go back and tell your father the good news!"

Only Lin Zhan himself knows the pain he is going through.

He lost his parents when he was young and has always lived under the care of others.

Although everyone in the Yang family was very kind to him and he had long regarded the Yang family as his own home, but living under someone else's roof is still living under someone else's roof.

He cried not because he was sad, but because he was happy to have fulfilled his father's last wish and because he was grateful to Yang Zhengshan.

Before he met Yang Zhengshan, he could still hold back his excitement, but after he met Yang Zhengshan, he could no longer hold back his excitement.

During the days on the way back to Chongshanguan, what he thought about most was not the joy of being on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination, nor his expectations for the future, but Yangjia Village more than ten years ago.

Every day he recalled the day when Yang Zhengshan took him back to the Yang family.

"Disciple thanks Master!" Lin Zhan kowtowed three times in a row, and Zheng followed suit.

Yang Zhengshan had no choice but to step forward and help him up, "Alright, alright, get up quickly!"

Lin Zhan calmed down his agitated emotions and said, "Master, I will go back to Anning County tomorrow!"

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

"Well, go ahead." Yang Zhengshan didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder.

Afterwards, Lin Zhan took his leave first. The couple had just returned and had to go back to their own yard to clean up.

After they left, other members of the Yang family also left, and soon there were only a few people left in the main room that was originally crowded with people.

Everyone else left, leaving only Wang Mingzhe.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Yang Zhengshan looked at him in surprise.

Wang Mingzhe is the same age as Yang Wanqing, both thirteen years old this year, but this boy's personality gives Yang Zhengshan a headache.

This kid has been lazy since he was young. Apart from sleeping and eating, he seems to have no interest in anything else.

This kid is still like this now. Look at his physique, he is almost as good as Wang.

Among the three disciples, this guy is the laziest.

"Uh, Master, I also want to follow my brother back to Anning County to have a look!" Wang Mingzhe scratched his head and said naively.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him, "Why do you suddenly want to go back and take a look?"

"Disciple wants to burn some incense for his parents." Wang Mingzhe said.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and looked at him quietly.

Would this kid have such an idea?

If Lin Zhan and Wang Yunqiao wanted to go back and burn incense for their parents, Yang Zhengshan would definitely not think much about it, but this kid actually wanted to go back and burn incense for his parents too?
He was only a few months old when he came to the Yang family. He didn't even have the slightest impression of what his parents looked like, let alone feelings.

Of course, it was only natural for Wang Mingzhe to go back and burn incense for his parents. Yang Zhengshan didn't want to stop him, but he felt something was wrong.

This is not in line with Wang Mingzhe's character. With his lazy nature, he should wish to hide in the yard every day and not come out. Now he actually wants to go out, and go to Anning County. This is obviously unreasonable.

This kid isn't trying to go out and slack off, is he?

In the Yang family, it is not easy for Wang Mingzhe to be lazy. Although Yang Zhengshan will not keep an eye on him, Yang Chengmao, Jiang Ning and others will be with him when they practice martial arts and go to school.

When it comes to martial arts training, there are people in the Yang family who are specifically responsible for teaching them, and when it comes to going to school, the teachers in the academy are also very strict.

He didn't even have a chance to be lazy.

But if I follow Lin Zhan to Anning County~~
Yang Zhengshan finally figured out what this kid was planning!

I felt that if I left the Yang family, no one would care about me and I could sleep in as much as I wanted.

Haha, boy, you have a nice dream!

"Master!" Wang Mingzhe felt a little scared when he saw Yang Zhengshan staring at him without saying anything, so he called out carefully.

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, "That's right, you should go back and offer incense to your parents! How about this, let your sister take you back tomorrow."

"Sister!" Wang Mingzhe was stunned.

Yang Zhengshan nodded. "After your sister got married, she hasn't been back for many years. It's a good opportunity for us to go back together and visit her this time."

"No need, isn't my sister busy?" A look of panic appeared on Wang Mingzhe's fat face.

If he goes back with his sister, how can he be lazy?

Wang Yunqiao was even stricter with him than Yang Zhengshan.

At least Yang Zhengshan wouldn't hit his apprentice, but Wang Yunqiao would hit his younger brother!

Wang Yunqiao’s slap is this boy’s nightmare.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the panic on his face and sneered in his heart.

You little brat, you're trying to compete with your master, humph~
