C1 Prodigal Son

Han Guang and six years, Li Guihai.

The Qing Prefecture County, the county's Huang County.

Sun Life Pavilion.

In the middle of winter and the end of the month, Longevity Yang Duke's funeral was not over.

… ….

Xiao Yan sat up from the bed and was extremely shocked.

One second the plane crashed and the next he was in this strange place.

In front of him was an ancient and fragrant hall, it was very spacious. Inside the hall, there was a bronze censer burning a strange incense, the surrounding walls were carved with cloud patterns and were painted with bronze paint.

"I didn't expect that I would survive such a disaster. I actually crossed over to another world." Xiao Yan thought in his heart as he sorted out the messy memories in his head. The heavens were really good to him, he had transmigrated to a rich family in this life.

Old Longevity Yang Duke, who had been unable to meet his father, died before he had even survived a month of winter. As his only son, he had inherited the title of nobility and had already reported it to County Governor, waiting for the imperial court to pass down the title of nobility.

But the imperial edict was only a formality, and perhaps the Son of Heaven would be in a good mood and comfort.

Longevity Yang Duke was a marquis who was given the title of the Emperor during his reign. He had 600 households of food, but there were only 100 households of food.

Don't underestimate the food of a hundred households. When the year is good, there will be three thousand stones for food.

One must know that in the Great Han Dynasty, other than the three officials who received a salary of ten thousand stones, even nine men only received two thousand stones a year.

Xiao Yan held back his excitement. It was hard for him to ignore the sighs from his previous life.

The sound of rustling footsteps came from outside. A servant girl called out softly: "Duke, the overseer requests an audience..."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Duke was calling him. He quickly composed himself and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open and an old man in his fifties walked in with a bowl of soup. He knelt on the floor while trembling and said, "Duke, are you feeling better …"

Supervisor's surname was Xiao, and was a distant clan member of Duke Mansion. In terms of seniority, Xiao Yan should call him granduncle.

It was just that in ancient times, etiquette was divided into submissive etiquette. Xiao Yan was the servant of Duke, and Steward Xiao was the servant.

"It's better now. Old manager, please get up. I'm giving you a seat." Xiao Yan nodded warmly and ordered his servant girl to support Manager Xiao as he sat down.

The servant girl brought the soup to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan smelled the pungent smell of the medicine and quickly waved his hand to tell the servant girl to leave.

Manager Xiao sighed and sadly said, "Old Duke's corpse is still not cold yet, and he is being pushed too far. What should we do now?"

Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he found out from his mind what Manager Xiao was talking about.

Just this year, the tyrant Zhang Fen wanted to replace the Duke Mansion's fertile land with a wasteland without an owner.

Wasteland in exchange for fertile land, Zhang Fen can be said to want to export, with this year's market price of acres of land, acres of fertile land can be sold for 3000 money, while a mu of evil land can only be sold for 300 money, and no one cultivated the wasteland, it is not worth a penny.

Duke Mansion naturally flatly refused this unreasonable request, and became angry at Zhang Fen.

The tyrant Zhang Fen, was an outsider who had recently moved to the Huang County. Originally, they said that the strong dragons wouldn't suppress the local tyrants, but Zhang Fen's background really wasn't small.

With this relationship, Zhang Fen ran rampant in his own country and the government could not control him.

Xiao Yan went silent. He had read the history books and naturally knew what the words' Ten Servants' meant, while Longevity Yang Duke, as a country marquis, was not a match for them. Even the government officials and officials were not a match for him.

But eunuchs were the most vengeful. After being rejected by Duke Mansion, Zhang Fen harbored hatred in his heart and falsely accused Longevity Yang Duke of selling salt and iron.

According to the Han law, selling salt and iron was a big crime. Old Longevity Yang Duke's excuses were useless and he was sentenced to prison for his crimes.

Poor Old Longevity Yang Duke, who had lived a life of luxury and was used to having a delicate body. How could he have suffered like this? He was both frightened and frightened after going to jail, but soon died from a serious illness.

A marquis who died in prison under false circumstances, a huge case that had originally been pursued by the imperial government, had been ignored under the protection of Zhang Jean.

The matter was not over yet. Zhang Fen had made an inch of progress in order to make people cause trouble during Duke Mansion, so he was still going to force people to change fields.

The original owner was a weak scholar. He was too sad because of his father's death. He fainted from shock and anger, and then was taken over by Xiao Yan Jiu, who then possessed his Nestle and was reborn.

Xiao Yan knew the whole story, and he was furious. In his previous life, he was mediocre for more than 20 years, but now, he was bullied on the face of others.

Although he was a Transcender and didn't have much kinship with his father, he couldn't bear to do anything about it.

Moreover, he was Longevity Yang Duke now, and the glory and humiliation of Duke Mansion was also his pride and humiliation. Once Duke Mansion was submissively promised to Zhang Fen to change fields, it would be treated as a target to be bullied by the other strong people in the county, and would never have peace again.

If not, could Zhang Fen just let it go?

Only a thousand days of being a thief, how could there be a thousand days of being a thief?

Thinking up to this point, Xiao Yan only sneered: "Old manager, don't panic. With me here, the Duke Mansion's sky won't collapse!"

Manager Xiao pulled himself together when he heard this. His eyes were full of hope as he looked at the young and angry Duke. He wanted to hear what countermeasures he could come up with.

Xiao Yan touched the stubble on his chin and gradually had an idea. He said resolutely, "We still have to change fields!"

Manager Xiao's vision darkened. He still thought that it was a good idea, but he didn't think that Duke would be so unreliable, and immediately cried: "Duke, you can't exchange it, Duke from all my generations of Duke Mansion spent all their energy to save up their current family assets. If we exchange them for their fertile lands, then disciple will have to scatter them all, our Duke Mansion cannot be defeated by Duke …"

As he finished his sentence, tears were already flowing down his cheeks.

Xiao Yan laughed bitterly, the old manager had toiled for his entire life for Duke Mansion, the feeling was truly touching. He hurriedly helped the old manager up, and spoke with a low voice: "Old manager knows, that a man without sin has his own crimes, I have thought it through, that the reason why my Duke Mansion was bullied by others was because of one thing!"

"My Duke Mansion is valuable, but I do not have any power, so it is only a matter of time before I ask for this huge fortune!"

"I want to exchange for fertile land and find a way to advance to the next level. When I have power and power in my hands, I will definitely take revenge for what I have today!"

Looking at the resolute expression on Xiao Yan's face for a long time, he was moved and said, "I always thought that Duke had a weak character, but after listening to Duke's words today, I know that I was wrong. Old Duke, having knowledge from the underworld, will also be gratified by Duke's bearing. I just hope that Duke will not forget the grudge of Zhang Fen killing Old Steel..."

Knowing that the old manager had thought wrong again, Xiao Yan helped the old manager up and sat him down, shaking his head, "I won't trade with Zhang Fen. I want to trade with the Xu and Liu Families!"

The powerful Hsu Shen was a man with great Donglai.

The Xu was a member of a large family with the name of the Prominent Class, and was known for its Confucianism. Although Hsu Shen had been stripped of his official position due to the restrictions on the family, his reputation grew because of this.

The mighty Liu Qi was a relative of the Han Impeial Family sect. His ancestors could trace back to the Emperor Han Ming, and he was close to the Emperor Han Huan and the current Son of Heaven. Although the Liu family had already been exterminated, their clan's heritage was still there, and they were much more respected than Longevity Yang Duke.

These two families were the strongest in Huang County, and only they could make Zhang Fen fear them.

Actually, if Xiao Yan accepted the offer and used his wealth to curry favor with Zhang Fen, it would be easy for him to become a official and half a position through his relationship as a ten-member waiter.

Everyone knew that the Son of Heaven had openly set a price on the positions of the Ten Servants.

However, Xiao Yan knew clearly that being in the company of eunuchs and being despised by the world, there would definitely be hidden troubles in the future.

Furthermore, he knew the direction of history. Sooner or later, his eunuchs would be wiped out by the Aristocratic Family.

He took this opportunity to befriend the Aristocratic Family. Even though he had lost some land, it was a fair trade after all.

"Prepare the car!"

Xiao Yan decided to visit the Xu and Liu Families overnight. Zhang Fen was pressing on them step by step, so he had to hurry and lure this trouble over.

The servants hurriedly prepared the carriage. Xiao Yan went to visit Liu Qi first. The two families had some friendship in the past, so things were much easier to discuss.
