Neither Xiao Yuruo nor Qiqi fell asleep. Although she was not frightened, she was always worried about Xu Lang.

Xu Lang went downstairs and learned from his subordinates about their arrangements for his wife and Qiqi. He felt it made sense, so he naturally agreed.

………

China, the ancient city of Yanjing, and the ancestral home of the Yang family.

The Yang family’s ancestral home reveals its grandeur and simplicity reveals its fashion. From this ancestral home, you can also see the historical changes and the alternation of the old and the new in Yanjing.

At this time, the night was dark and there were quiet everywhere. In a secret room in the ancestral house, there were several solemn old men sitting. The leader was sitting upright on a chair in the middle, holding two walnuts in his left hand and a gourd in his right hand. This kind of iron walnuts and small gourds are not ordinary walnuts and gourds, but are called "cultural walnuts" and "cultural gourds".

The so-called cultural relics are handicrafts derived from the "Four Treasures of Study" in ancient China, with exquisite workmanship, unique shape and profound cultural heritage, such as walnuts, bracelets, seals, and small gourds. In the early years, this was the hobby of literati and elegant scholars.

Nowadays, cultural relics have become an antique, which not only has high commercial value, but also a symbol of status. Most people play with a few walnuts in their hands and rub them with their fingertips. In less than half a month, they can rub the walnuts into shinyness, becoming "cultural relics" and can be sold. Therefore, "cultural relics" has always been the "love" of professional collectors.

The walnuts and gourds played with by the old man in the Yang family are said to have been sold by him for hundreds of thousands of yuan per walnut or even hundreds of millions of yuan per gourd in the antique market. Everyone is proud to collect the "walnuts" in his hands, especially the officials of Beijing and foreign officials who want to go to Beijing to find a way out. In order to obtain the "walnuts" in his hands, they have tried their best.

And this old man is Yang Jiye, the head of the Yang family, one of the four major families in Yanjing.

Yang Jiye is also the uncle of Yang Huashan, the Premier of the State Academy of China.

At this time, Yang Jiye's face was solemn, and he was playing with walnuts and gourds in his hands. He didn't dare to speak, and no one else could speak.

The person sitting on the other side of Yang Jiye's attack was Yang Huashan. He looked around and saw that everyone was not talking. He mustered up the courage and laughed: "Uncle, just say anything you have. Let me listen carefully."

However, Yang Jiye said slowly: "Hey, don't worry, wait until I rub it for a while, and it will be less than a quarter of an hour before these two walnuts and gourds can be sold. Haha, at that time, we can earn extra money for our Yang family."

When they saw the old man laughing, the others hurriedly laughed dryly and laughed with him.

Yang Huashan also forced a smile on his face and laughed: "Uncle, our Yang family is not short of this little money, why should you be so tired?"

Yang Jiye immediately said, "Oh, a gentleman loves money and takes it for his own sake. I did not cheat or rob. When I was idle, I just played walnuts and asked my servants to sell them at the antique market. I didn't know that even more wise people sell calligraphy and paintings. It is said that a word from Duke Xu can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, but Duke Xu cherishes the ink like gold. Oh, it's a pity that I wrote a bad word or a bad word, otherwise I would have gone out to sell the word."

Yang Huashan and others echoed again and laughed, but they were more or less complaining in their hearts. Did they gather everyone together in the middle of the night just to see you play walnuts?

However, everyone could only complain a few times in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it.

After more than half a day, Yang Huashan couldn't help but say, "Uncle, look, I have an important meeting tomorrow morning. Do you have any instructions?..."

However, at this moment, my uncle Yang Jiye's face turned cold. He slightly tried to squeeze the two walnuts and a gourd into pieces.

Everyone was shocked. Yang Huashan hurriedly got up, bent down and bowed, and said tremblingly: "Uncle, calm down, nephew is reckless."

Yang Jiye suddenly looked up and stared at Yang Huashan with sharp eyes, "Hmph, what about Huashan, I know that the reason why others respect me and are willing to pay high prices to collect my cultural relics is all for your kindness. I know even more that they are just asking for you. But why did I hear that the few Beijing officials who flatter me have been dealt with by you? The most miserable thing is that a minister from the three northeastern provinces spent 1 million to collect one of my gourds, just to go to Beijing to become an official. Not only did you not get promoted, but you demoted someone else's position. Tell me, what do you mean?"

Yang Huashan's forehead was already sweating. He had expected that it would be the case, but he did not expect that the old man would be so angry. He hurriedly said tremblingly: "Uncle, this, you have to know that my nephew is the Premier of the State Council. Everything should be considered for the interests of the people of the country. The actions of those officials were actually disguised bribery and accepting bribes. I..."

"Hmph! But don't forget that you are the descendant of my Yang family. I am the head of the family. It's not your turn to decide this family! It's okay if you don't mention this matter for now, then what about Xu Lang? Just because he is the grandson of Duke Xu, are you afraid of the Xu family? Xu Lang provoked the authority of the Yang family one after another. How did you do it?" Yang Jiye said sternly again.

Yang Huashan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the uncle taught him a lesson that my nephew will definitely step up the planning and investigation of Xu Lang's plan. As long as he does something that goes against the national interests, no matter whose grandson he is, his nephew will be punished according to law!"

Yang Jiye seemed to be still dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything else. He knew it in his heart and said something unreasonably, "I have the ability to support you as prime minister, and I have the ability to rub you down. What should I do? You can do it yourself."

After Yang Jiye finished speaking, he got up angrily and walked out.

Yang Huashan wiped the sweat from his forehead and could only nod his head.

………

Xu Lang, who was talking about the Yang family, was also thinking about how to fight back against the Yang family.

Afterwards, Xu Lang called some subordinates from the Yanhuang Hunter organization aside and told them that he had dealt with the rest of the FBC and asked them to notify their leader Xiao Linggong and make further arrangements.

Then, Xu Lang quietly went to the next door to see if the girls in the Agarwood Pavilion were affected.

After the arrangement and deployment were completed, Xu Lang came to his room.
