Plane Supermarket

Chapter 120

In the city of Linzi, the houses not far from the city were brightly lit, servants held torches, and house slaves held bows and arrows.

Everyone was in a hurry, the maid was standing in the corner, she stood holding her breath, listening to the anger of the owner in the house.

"A businessman! How dare you capture my Patriarch Yang! Humiliate my Yang family!"

A male voice sounded, followed by the sound of the wooden case being kicked over.

"If you don't kill him, how can my Yang family gain a foothold!" In the lobby, dozens of members of the Yang family sat together, watching the owner's younger brother get angry. People have different expressions on their faces. He bowed his head in silence.

But none of them spoke.

The man pointed to the door: "If we really gave them money, how would the people in Linzi City think of us? How would the people of the world think of us?"

"The patriarch of a dignified family was captured by a merchant, but we still want to send him money and food?"

Only then did the Yang family say: "This can't be done. If we end up with this one, there will be another one. In the future, anyone who looks at my Yang family will only think that we are easy to bully. This ban cannot be lifted."

"It's just that if we attack, it's hard to explain to Marquis Chen."

"Although they have been giving gifts to Zheng and Zhang's family for these years, they promised to bring Yang's children to the court, but they dragged on year after year. Until now, none of my Yang family has been in the court."

"Why don't we let Chen Hou recover from his illness and ask him to uphold justice?"

"That's right, otherwise Marquis Chen wakes up and knows that we're making a big move in Linzi City, I'm afraid it won't be good."

The man looked at them, and he sneered: "In the current state of Chen, how can Chen Hou be allowed to speak? Can he just kill Zhang Rong? It's just that there are many children in the Zhang family, so don't care about him. If you do, he, Chen Hou You can only be in the Chen Palace!"

The Yang family looked at each other. Although they knew that what the man said was reasonable, many people were still afraid.

The young Yang family disciple stood up and said nervously to the man: "Uncle, I thought that no matter what, we are all the subjects of the emperor. It is taboo for a subject to use swords and weapons. What the head of the family did today is very wrong. We We should stop swordsmanship and ask the businessman to discuss it. If it can be solved with money and food, it will not be lost..."

Before he finished speaking, the man kicked him in the abdomen, kicking him back a few steps, and he regained his footing with the support of others.

"No blood!" The man pointed at the Yang family's son's nose, "It's in vain for me, the man of the Yang family!"

The man looked at the Yang family with different expressions, and the nameless flames blazed up. He cursed angrily: "The Yang family is getting worse day by day, it is because you are looking forward and backward, afraid of the head and the tail, afraid of the big family, afraid of the king and high officials, you are afraid of coming!" Afraid to go, the Yang family has fallen to where it is today."

"In the past, I wanted to give gifts to the Zheng and Zhang families, but from now on, do I have to give gifts to a mere businessman?"

"You can afford to lose this person, but the Yang family can't!"

"Come on! Drag him out!" The man yelled out.

Two slaves came in immediately and dragged out the young man who had just spoken.

The young man's parents dared not speak out, they could only look at the man and then look away.

Although the main branch of the Yang family stayed in Linzi, the main branch also divided the good and the bad. As the relatives got farther and farther away, the gap became wider and wider. Some people could eat meat, while others could only drink soup.

If they branch out again, many of them will have to leave Linzi.

But the meat-eater asked the soup-drinker to go to the front with them and take risks together. No matter how stupid the soup-drinker was, he knew he couldn't agree easily.

The man: "This is a major event within the clan, and you cannot afford to look forward and backward. If the Patriarch cannot be rescued tonight, the Yang family will have no place to stand in the future!"

"Don't gossip!" The man shouted loudly towards the door, "Call them over!"

The soldier waiting outside promised, he turned his head to look at these people holding torches, and sighed in his heart.

Although he is a soldier, he was just a commoner at first, and it was the Yang family who gave him a bite to eat, so he became a soldier and supported his family.

"Let's go!" shouted the soldier to the servants in the yard.

The servants rushed out with weapons in their hands. The servants were not soldiers, and they didn't even know how to use weapons. They were panicked, but they didn't dare to run away, so they could only follow the people in front towards the supermarket.

In the middle of the night, there were no people walking on the streets in Linzi City, only the flames were left, and the figures were printed on the wall, which became hideous due to the fire, elongated and thinned continuously, and the evening wind blew over the torches, and the figures also changed and distorted.

The servants lined up in a long line, and they walked towards the supermarket with blank eyes. There were soldiers leading the way in front and soldiers behind. They were not like "soldiers", but more like prisoners being escorted.

But no one complained, they are all "Yang family", they have been servants of the Yang family for generations, if they are kicked out by the Yang family, they are not even as good as ordinary slaves.

The leading soldiers stopped in front of the house.

This house has been renovated once, and although it still hasn't deviated from its previous general appearance, it has also taken on a new look.

Those missing and broken tiles have already been filled and rearranged neatly.

The dead tree protruding from the courtyard has also been planted with a new tree. The tree is now on the eve of bearing fruit, and the petals have fallen to the ground. People passing by can always smell the fragrance of the flowers.

The soldier glanced back.

This time, no one from the Yang family came.

They were all afraid that after the Patriarch was arrested, they would be the next one to be arrested.

Even the younger brother of the Patriarch, who gave the order and yelled the loudest, didn't come.

The soldier pursed his lips and shouted at the servants: "Break the door! Knock the door open!"

The servants didn't hit the wood, even if they did, most of them didn't know how to use it. They could only look at the soldier and tell him with numb eyes that they wouldn't.

The soldier raised his head, pointed at one of the tall men and said, "You, go and knock the door open."

When the man was pointed at by the soldier, he couldn't help shrinking his neck. He was tall, but now he looked like a frightened quail. His lips trembled slightly, and he said cautiously, "Nu, Nu Nu can't."

The soldier sighed deeply in his heart, bringing this group of slaves who had been trained by the Yang family to be timid and cowardly, even if the gods descended to earth, they might not be able to win a battle.

The Yang family doesn't support people, they don't need capable subordinates, in their view, only the clansmen are worthy of trust.

The house servants and slaves are just consumables after crop after crop. All the thorns were killed and executed in public. Year after year, the house slaves who were already very obedient became more obedient and numb.

They have even stopped thinking, and there is no other reaction to anything except answering.

A slave is also a human being, as long as a human being does not work non-stop, he will always use his own brain, but the slaves of the Yang family cannot.

They have completely lost their ego, they will only obey, and they will never have their own ideas.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and finally, he stood in front of the gate of the house by himself.

Looking back again, he raised his arm and knocked on the courtyard door.

-

"Surrender?" Ye Zhou was woken up in the middle of the night. He put on a coat, washed his face with the water brought by Cao'er, and rinsed his mouth with mouthwash before asking, "The Yang family?"

Cao'er nodded, but shook her head again, she didn't know how to describe it, she just said: "He is a soldier raised by the Yang family, I don't know if he is considered to be the Yang family, he didn't change his surname."

Did not change my surname.

Not counting the Yang family's cronies, the Yang family even changed their surnames even to businessmen from other countries who were doing business in Linzi.

Not to mention the soldiers they raised themselves.

I'm afraid this soldier is not valued in the Yang family, maybe he is not as good as a servant in the eyes of the Yang family.

No matter how bad the soldiers were, they were of ordinary origin. Unlike slaves, they would not receive brainwashing education since childhood, and they had no intention of serving a certain family for life.

"Let him go to the lobby." Ye Zhou said, "I'll wait for him in the lobby."

In this plane, people are ignorant, barbaric and free, which is a manifestation of the decline of kingship, so various ideas have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The descendants of the aristocratic family brought more ideas to the world. The monarchs of various countries only care about how to consolidate their positions and expand the country's territory. There may be various problems in this world, but it is indeed full of vitality.

However, in such a social environment, only common people and nobles count as people.

Slaves and commoners are not human beings.

For powerful families, this world is beautiful. It may not have many material comforts, but it gives people few shackles. Both men and women enjoy the same aristocratic privileges. , they can do whatever they want.

There is no essential difference between a princess and a prince, and sometimes even a princess can live a better life than a prince.

But it’s not so good for the people at the bottom. They don’t enjoy any privileges. Freedom brings chaos, and they may become slaves at any time without enough food. Even if the powerful rob them of what they have left, even their lives , they can only blame their own bad luck for not being reincarnated into a powerful family.

There are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and Ye Zhou also knows that the road from slave society to feudal society is inevitable.

But it does not prevent him from thinking that there is a good side to this world. Unmarried men and women can fall in love freely, and it is not a big deal for women to have children even out of wedlock. custom" has not yet appeared.

A man will not keep his wife in the house just to ensure that the child is his own seed.

It will not let women bind their feet and deprive them of their personal freedom and the right to own their own property.

Although here, women still have no inheritance rights, and they cannot become the head of a family.

But if they were born in a wealthy family, their parents would also buy property for them, and even if they were bullied by their husbands, their mother clan would directly call on them, forcefully bring their daughters back, and unilaterally divorce their husbands.

Even though this is only the privilege of the nobles, there are still people who buy and sell wives and daughters among the common people, but they are not without advancement.

But this advancement is only aimed at one class.

The rich and powerful in the slave society lived better, and the common people in the feudal society lived better.

Ye Zhou walked into the hall. The hall has been remodeled by the employees. People in the supermarket are not used to kneeling, and neither is Ye Zhou. Later, he observed the sitting posture of the people here, and found that when they sat down, their feet turned to the sides.

They were very natural, but Ye Zhou just couldn't learn it. Not only did his knees and legs hurt, but his feet were also awkward.

So he asked the employees to remodel the hall according to their own living habits.

There are simple and elegant chairs in the hall, and a high-leg wooden table next to it. There are some small plant ornaments on the wooden table. When guests come, remove the ornaments and use them for tea sets.

And there is a Fushan stove in the corner, and when someone comes, they will light incense. At that time, when guests drink tea, there will be a gentle fragrance at the tip of their noses, and they can watch the thin smoke rising from the stove, curling up and gracefully, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Ye Zhou sat at the main seat in the hall. He asked Feng Yao to help him make a cup of strong tea. After taking two sips, Cao'er ushered him in.

Cao'er walked into the hall first, she trotted to Ye Zhou, leaned over and whispered in Ye Zhou's ear: "He brought nearly 100 people, and Brother Wu took those people to the backyard first, Brother Wu and Brother Zhou watched together Looking at them, Sister Chen said she would go there later."

Ye Zhou nodded, he put down his teacup, Cao'er left the hall again, and asked the soldiers waiting outside to enter.

The soldier felt uneasy, it was his first contact with such a "big man".

Although a businessman can't get along with a big shot no matter what, but a businessman who can stand up to the family without falling behind and gain a faint advantage must be a big shot.

He swallowed, and almost stepped on his heel as he walked.

Walking into the hall, the soldier didn't dare to look up at the face of the man sitting on the main seat. He smelled the fragrance of tea in the hall and ordered himself to calm down countless times in his mind.

But when the man's voice sounded, the soldier didn't even have time to react, so he immediately knelt down.

He couldn't even remember it, and said tremblingly: "Forgive me, my lord, this night attack was really a despicable and shameless member of the Yang family. It has nothing to do with us. We are just obeying orders."

The armored soldier prostrated himself on the ground and shouted: "I beg your lord to spare my life, and I am willing to lead the horse and pedal for you."

He didn't dare to move, and after an unknown amount of time, he heard a chuckle from the person above him.

This made the soldier feel cold all over his body, his scalp was numb, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

He was still calm when he saw the Patriarch, but at this moment he was upset and couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind.

"Since it was a night attack, why didn't you follow the order to attack?" The man's voice was gentle, as if he was not facing an enemy who wanted to attack his house, but an ordinary stranger.

The soldier's bristling hairs faded away. Inexplicably, he felt that this person would not kill him, nor would he harm him.

But his voice was still trembling, and he said softly: "This move by the Yang family is treason! It is a capital offense to call for troops without the emperor's call. Although the villain is not a scholar, he can read a few words and understand some principles. , absolutely dare not obey such perverse orders from the Yang family."

"Besides..." the soldier smiled wryly, "The Yang family can't afford to support a few soldiers, and they have to support them, and they are afraid of being discovered, and they don't want to spend too much money and food. Except for me, the other soldiers have been caught by the adults. The people I brought are all servants of the Yang family."

"They have never held a weapon, not to mention killing people, they just can't wield a knife."

He heard the man make a soft "hmm".

The voice was understated, with no emotion or anger.

The soldier's heart was raised again, and he realized again that this man not far from him was controlling his life at this moment.

The soldier's voice trembled: "My lord, please forgive me!"

After a long time, he heard the man above him say: "In that case, let's stay first."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and when he exhaled it, he realized that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, his clothes were already wet with sweat, and a gust of evening wind blew in from outside, which made him tremble involuntarily.

"Take him to the room where the Patriarch of the Yang family is imprisoned." The man ordered the people outside the door, "Just ask him to talk about the current situation of the Yang family."

The soldier didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to speak out against it.

It stands to reason that the Patriarch of the Yang Family is his former employer, he is a traitor, what can he say when he meets the Patriarch of the Yang Family?

be honest?

But he couldn't object, so he could only follow the guide to the room in the backyard.

The woman who led the way was wearing a strange dress. She was not tall, and there was a scar on her face that still looked hideous after healing. It seemed that someone had cruelly tried to destroy her face.

But probably because he had seen a woman with more scars on her face than her, the soldier was not very afraid.

They walked through the small path and stone road, and when they got to the small courtyard, the woman turned to him and said: "The Patriarch of the Yang family has a bad temper. He has been hungry all day, and he should not have the strength to beat you. You can talk to him to make him feel at ease." .”

When she said this, there was a smile on her face, and the soldier just glanced at it, then hurriedly lowered his head, and replied in a low voice: "The villain knows."

The woman raised her hand towards a room: "He's inside, go in."

The armored soldier looked up at her in disbelief, not understanding why the door was unlocked and he could go in directly.

The woman saw his question as if she had a mind-reading skill, and said with a smile, "He can't get out."

The soldier's heart was awe-inspiring, he nodded again and again, walked up the steps with some hesitation, raised his hand on the door, but did not push it away.

After an unknown amount of time, he was cruel and pushed open the door.

There was no light in the room, and it was so dark that there was no light at all.

He smelled blood, vomit, and sweat, all mixed together, making him hate himself for having a good nose.

The soldier groped his way to the table, found the oil lamp, took out the smoldering fire from his pocket, and lit the bean lamp.

The big flame finally provided a little light to the room.

In the erratic firelight, the soldier finally saw the man huddled in the corner.

He couldn't even believe that this man who looked like a beggar in a mess, with disheveled hair, turned out to be the Patriarch of the Yang family who he could only look up to and never dared to see clearly.

The man in his memory who was arrogant, gave orders, and could influence their fate was like a frightened mouse at the moment, only daring to hide in a dark corner.

For a while, the soldier didn't know whether he should be thankful for the other party's situation, or feel sad for it.

But what was strange was that he suddenly had a dark and cruel chuckle.

His fate was once in the hands of this man, and at that time he thought that the other party was omnipotent.

Looking at it now, the other party is just like him.

The soldier held the bean lamp and walked towards the man.

·

After drinking a cup of strong tea, Ye Zhou felt drowsy at first, but now he couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Since he couldn't sleep, Ye Zhou was going to do what he planned to do tomorrow morning.

"Get ready for the carriage, let's go into Chen Palace." Ye Zhou put on his coat and rushed in Zou Ming said, "Call Zhou Yuanhe to see what's wrong with Chen Hou."

When Chen Hou got sick, all kinds of monsters and ghosts came out, and Ye Zhou couldn't afford conspiracy theories.

As soon as he got sick, the Yang family moved.

Did the Yang family make their own decisions, or was someone instigated behind them?

An aristocratic family with no one in the family who is an official, can be so domineering in Linzi, is there really no shadow of others behind?

Ye Zhou believed this was a conspiracy more than a coincidence.

If it was a conspiracy, then Chen Hou's illness should not be an illness.

The three of them entered the palace in a carriage, the gate of the palace was still unguarded, and only the inner palace could see a few guards changing shifts.

All the guards in the palace can carry knives. It is not a privilege for a guard to carry a knife here. Just as they were about to stop the car, they saw a hand sticking out from the curtain of the car, holding a token in that hand. Card.

The guards looked at each other, but no one stopped them in the end.

After entering the inner palace, Ye Zhou followed his memory to find Chen Hou's bedroom.

The driver for Ye Zhou was the young general Chen Hou "gifted" to him, Zheng Shaoyu, who ate and lived with Wu Yan and the others these days, and taught Wu Yan and them how to drive. He was already familiar with the employees, although he still remembered that he was Chen Hou's people didn't feel that there was a gap between themselves and Wu Yan and the others.

After all, Chen Hou didn't order him to monitor or guard the people in the supermarket.

That being the case, he followed his heart to contact them, and they quickly became friends.

"Immortal, you go in, and I will guard here." The young general also thinks this is a conspiracy, so he would rather stay outside the palace to guard.

Ye Zhou didn't stop him, he nodded at the young general, and walked into Chen Hou's bedroom first.

The palace people standing at the door of the bedroom did not dare to stop Ye Zhou when they saw Ye Zhou coming.

An eunuch greeted Ye Zhou immediately, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty has a fever these days and can't get out of bed easily. Madam visits her every day, but the heat won't go away."

Ye Zhou frowned, but didn't stop walking: "Why didn't anyone come to tell me?"

The eunuch said quickly, "Your Majesty ordered it."

"Your Majesty said, it's really not good to cause you any more trouble."

Ye Zhou didn't speak anymore, he went straight to the bed. Sure enough, Chen Hou lying on the bed was flushed, and even in his sleep, his brows were tightly frowned. His hands were exposed outside the quilt, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if What danger is encountered in the dream.

As soon as Ye Zhou stood still, Zhou Yuanhe immediately walked over with the medical kit.

He took out a thermometer to measure Chen Hou's temperature, and took Chen Hou's blood for testing.

During Zhou Yuanhe's inspection, Ye Zhou asked the eunuch, "Has anyone been here recently? Has there been any change in the palace?"

This eunuch is Chen Hou's confidant, and he grew up with Chen Hou. Chen Hou made a special trip to tell Ye Zhou that with so many people in the palace, he only believed in this eunuch and his wife.

The eunuch bowed his head and said, "Both the Patriarchs of Zhang and Zheng have been here, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

The eunuch hesitated for a moment and then said: "On the contrary, there are not many ministers in the court who come in to see your majesty."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zhou had already understood what he meant.

Ye Zhou suddenly thought of one thing.

"It's just right, so I don't have to look for them one by one."

He looked at Chen Hou.

The man had some luck.
