Chapter 47 Good News
The study in the Yang family mansion.
Fifth Uncle.
When Yang Jian entered the study, he saw Yang Changhui with a joyful expression.
While he was cultivating in the courtyard of the west wing, Steward Zhao came over and said that Yang Changhui had returned and asked him to go to the study.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian stopped practicing the "Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique," changed his clothes, and came to the study.
"Erlang, you've arrived! Good news!"
"Breaking news: Your father is on his way back with reinforcements from Yunnan Province."
"I'll be back soon!"
Yang Changhui couldn't hide the smile on his face.
When he returned, Steward Zhao told him that Yang Jian had asked about the confiscation of the Zhao family's property.
Upon learning this, Yang Changhui arranged for Steward Zhao to go to Yang Jian's place and ask Yang Jian to come over.
Besides discussing the Zhao family's affairs, the more important thing was to share with Yang Jian the good news that reinforcements from Yunnan Province were about to arrive.
Yang Jian's abilities have now been recognized by Yang Changhui, so he is naturally qualified to know about such important matters.
The members of the Divine Talisman Society are still eyeing the city covetously. Although they didn't make any moves today, as long as they are not driven out of Yongkang County, they remain a threat and could strike again at any time.
Yang Changhui had arranged for people to keep an eye on things, and he would know immediately if anything happened, so that the Divine Talisman Society would not have the chance to launch a surprise attack like last time.
Now that reinforcements from Yunnan Province are about to arrive, it means that they only need to hold out for a few more days, and then Yongkang County will be safe!
"This is fantastic news!"
Yang Jian smiled and said upon hearing this.
The reason he is so eager to improve his martial arts cultivation is largely due to the pressure that the Divine Talisman Society brings him.
According to the newspaper, the Divine Talisman Society is no ordinary cult; it possesses new types of firearms and has many martial arts masters within its ranks.
The martial arts master he saw last time in the Divine Talisman Society was just one of many. If other martial arts masters came to support them, they would be at a disadvantage and might even be in danger.
"Based on the information in the call, your father and the others should be able to return by boat in three days at most."
"For the next three days, we just need to defend the inner city area well."
"You should stay here for now and not go out. If I need to go out, you can manage the Yang residence on my behalf."
Yang Changhui suppressed his smile and looked at Yang Jian with a serious expression.
He was naturally aware that Yang Jian had gone out today.
Normally, Yang Changhui wouldn't care about these things, but with reinforcements on the way, those cult members of the Divine Talisman Society might be driven to desperation.
At this time, preventing Yang Jian from going out is to prevent the people of the Divine Talisman Society from taking action against him.
Within the Yang residence, safety is relatively guaranteed, but outside, the situation is quite different!
When that martial arts master from the Divine Talisman Society made his move, Yang Jian's protective abilities were simply insufficient to stop him.
When Yang Changhui travels, he is always accompanied by many gunmen, and even martial arts masters have to think twice before making a move.
"Okay, Fifth Uncle."
"I will stay at home for the next few days."
Yang Jian replied earnestly upon hearing this.
His original plan was to first master the basics of the "Heavenly Serpent Breath Technique" and convert the white attribute points he had just obtained into his cultivation level.
Yang Changhui's arrangement coincided with his plan.
Furthermore, Yang Jian was well aware that once the Divine Talisman Society learned of the arrival of reinforcements from Yunnan, a fierce battle might ensue. At this time, he could only try his best to increase his strength.
Practice marksmanship with modern firearms and improve your martial arts skills.
It's difficult for ordinary people to make significant progress in a short period of time, but he's different.
"Um."
"When I returned, Steward Zhao said that you had asked about the Zhao family."
Yang Changhui nodded slightly and brought up the Zhao family.
"The direct descendants of the Zhao family, led by Zhao Xingzhou, took the opportunity to escape by boat during the chaos caused by the Divine Talisman Society yesterday. Now, only some collateral descendants and servants remain in the Zhao family."
"Most of the treasures in the Zhao family were taken away by Zhao Xingzhou in time!"
"I've already reported this matter. Zhao Xingzhou and his ilk can forget about staying in the province!"
Yang Changhui was not very satisfied with the outcome of his visit to the Zhao family today. His original plan was to take the opportunity to eliminate the Zhao family, but now all of the Zhao family's direct descendants had fled.
However, to some extent, the Yang family's position became more secure after the Zhao family was no longer in Yongkang County!
It would be even better if he could take the opportunity to become the police chief.
This was also because his elder brother Yang Changhong had not yet returned, and the troubles in the county had not been resolved. Otherwise, he would have definitely asked Yang Changhong to help him deal with the matter.
"They ran away when the Divine Talisman Society caused trouble yesterday. No wonder we didn't see any members of the Zhao family when we dealt with the Divine Talisman Society."
Yang Jian was also surprised to hear this.
He originally thought it was already outrageous that Zhao Chenguang, the eldest son of the Zhao family, was bewitched by the Divine Talisman Society to attack the Yang family. He didn't expect that what Zhao Chenguang's father, Zhao Xingzhou, did was even more outrageous. He directly led the direct descendants of the family away from Yongkang County.
However, Yang Jian quickly realized what was happening.
"Is the Zhao family really colluding with the Divine Talisman Society?"
Yang Jian asked.
Zhao Xingzhou's actions were too abnormal. He left at such a good time and took most of the Zhao family's treasures with him. There was something wrong with him no matter how you looked at it.
If they're colluding with the Divine Symbols Society, then that makes sense.
"Although there is no concrete evidence to prove that Zhao Xingzhou also colluded with the Divine Talisman Society, with his own son Zhao Chenguang leading members of the Divine Talisman Society to attack the Yang residence, the Zhao family can never escape the crime of colluding with an evil cult!"
"That old bastard Zhao Xingzhou probably knew something about the situation, but he didn't completely submit to the ruthless Divine Talisman Society, which is why he left with the Zhao family's direct descendants!"
Based on the latest investigation, Yang Changhui roughly guessed Zhao Xingzhou's situation.
There must be someone within the Zhao family colluding with the Divine Talisman Society. Zhao Chenguang was one of those dragged into it. When Zhao Xingzhou discovered this situation, coupled with the Divine Talisman Society's terrible reputation, he chose to run away.
As long as Zhao Xingzhou doesn't join the Divine Talisman Society in causing trouble, there's at least a way out.
The police station is not the army. Although it also has the responsibility to protect the people in the city, it is not as strict as the army.
Zhao Xingzhou's escape constitutes a serious dereliction of duty, and he will most likely be punished afterward, but he will not be executed; there is still room for maneuver.
In addition, Zhao Xingzhou is a member of the royalist faction, so there's a possibility that they might protect him.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with Yang Changhui's actions of sealing up and confiscating property, because the Zhao family's behavior was extremely heinous, and sealing up and confiscating property was a normal thing to do.
Even if the higher-ups send someone to investigate, there will be no objection.
Zhao Xingzhou's actions were too heinous, his reputation is bound to be terrible, and he certainly won't be able to stay in the province.
"Wow, that's really fast!"
Yang Jian also felt a pang of regret.
Zhao Chenguang is already dead at his hands. It would be even better if the Zhao family could be wiped out as well, but unfortunately Zhao Xingzhou and the others still managed to escape.
Otherwise, if Zhao Xingzhou is caught and detained in the police station, it would be normal for him to die in prison after a while.
