Chapter 218 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 21
After Yan Ying returned home, she first went to Cangbai Courtyard to meet her grandfather.
Who would have known that the master behind the well-known auction in Kyoto was actually Taifu Yan?
At nightfall, Yan Ying was taking two servant girls to count the silver taels earned in today's auction. All 130 taels were exchanged into silver bills, and then secretly transported out of Beijing by the Anbu forces, sent to Luxi area, and handed over to Luo Bai.
Yunlu and Qiuyu checked the ancient books and copybooks one by one and sent them to the warehouse to be locked.
In the middle of the night, Yan Qing walked ahead with a lantern.
Yan Ying walked side by side with her grandfather, listening to his old man telling some unknown stories about Yan's ancestors.
After arriving at the ancestral hall, Yan Heng took out the genealogy tree, found Yan Ying's name from it, dropped the brush steadily, and ticked off Yan Ying's name.
Then he put down the family tree, pressed it aside, and a hidden box appeared, took out Anbu's family tree from it, and wrote Yan Ying's name on it with a pen.
Yan Ying looked over, and the person in front of her was her grandfather Yan Heng: "From today onwards, you are no longer the third daughter of the Yan family, do you have any regrets?"
Yan Ying shook her head: "Grandfather, winner and loser, no matter what happens in the future, my granddaughter will never regret it."
The next day, Yan Ying came to Cangbai Courtyard as usual, only to feel that the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the house was even stronger. During this period of time, her grandfather taught Yan Ying how to be a king, which accelerated the decline of his already frail body.
Grandfather Yan saw that the corners of his granddaughter's eyes were red, and he was considerate about his basic necessities. He couldn't help but said: "My old man was fifty-six at the time. I was afraid that the mulberry and elm would be in the twilight, and I would die. I will abide by the Confucianism in my life. The way of Mencius is only righteous. Do everything, so benevolent, read and read the sages, teach what you learn, be a man and an official, a son and a father, you have no shame.”
"But in old age, there is only one thing on your mind. What is the future of the Yan family?"
"However, the heavens have pity on me. You have the heart to help the country, and the ambition to fight for the world. The world is in chaos. Only you, the world is stable, and it is you."
"I have learned all my life in this courtyard, and now entrust you with the future of the Yan family. The emperor has no way, there is no hope for the top, and there is nothing for the bottom. You can take this land by yourself."
Yan Ying knew how much her grandfather had experienced inner condemnation for these rebellious words, and she also knew how much hope was in her grandfather's cloudy eyes.
After Yan Heng finished speaking, although he was still sitting cross-legged, his impression was different. He used to think he was a wise and kind old gentleman at a glance, but now there is only one man left. With an empty body, the life of this Tai Tuo, who was going to be strong all his life, came to an end.
Yan Ying's eyes were red, and she shed two tears. She raised her head and walked in front of her grandfather. She knelt on the cold floor and kowtowed three times: "Grandfather, granddaughter will do it."
In the middle of the night, the Yan Mansion was brightly lit, men and women knelt in the Cangbai courtyard, and the maids and servants in the outer courtyard were kneeling on the ground, crying loudly.
The next day, both inside and outside the Yan mansion were dressed in white linen. The grandfather of the Yan family passed away. The father in court, several uncles, including the elder brother, and the offspring of the direct line all asked for leave to discuss and arrange the funeral of the grandfather.
Before his grandfather died, he officially handed over the power of the Anbu to her, and Yan Qing, the leader of the Anbu, also recognized Yan Ying as his master. From this day on, half of the colossal Yan family finally fell into Yan Ying's hands.
In the study, Yan Ying was looking through the personnel list of the Anbu, including property, shops, and gold and silver.
Yunlu sent the news about Jingming in the palace. Yan Ying opened the note and saw that it was the empress who had been thrown into the cold palace. She used her last power to contact the honorables outside the palace, and sent Cheng, the former daughter-in-law of Duke Anguo's mansion, to the palace. Sui was rescued.
After An Guogong's mansion was ransacked and exterminated by the male lead, the male Ding Wumen beheaded for public display, and the female relatives were sent to the Jiaoyue Division. Cheng Sui changed from a rich lady to an official prostitute, plus the queen who was stabbed back by the male lead, aunt and nephew Together, they found a group of killers to assassinate the prince.
The prince didn't hurt at all, but he slashed Zhou Jiayi with a sword.
Yan Ying took the note and put it on the candle and burned it clean. Then she thought that in the plot, the second brother of the heroine found out the truth about the death of her father and brother in battle, and wanted to kill the hero to avenge her father. In the end, the heroine blocked the knife and let the hero go. What follows is the biggest physical and emotional plot between the male and female protagonists.
Yan Ying thought for a while, as if the hero and heroine had nothing to do with her and what she was going to do, she forgot about the plot.
The empress dowager in the palace had already arranged with Qin Tianjian for the wedding date of the prince and concubine, but it was delayed because of the death of Taifu Yan.
Grandfather passed away, and the funeral was so grand that even the emperor came out of the palace to express his condolences.
After the funeral, according to his grandfather's suicide note, his private treasury was distributed to his father and uncles, and the Cangbai Courtyard was left to Yan Ying. No one except Yan Ying knew that this was the headquarters of Yan's Anbu.
In the name of keeping filial piety, Yan Ying stayed behind closed doors in the Cangbai courtyard all day long.
The Anbu forces used to hide their names, and finally developed Yan, Yan, and Yan surnames, those who know martial arts, those who are literary, and those who are in business. Yan Ying met them one by one, understood their personalities and abilities, and told them about their ideals. And ambition, referred to as: Poisoned Chicken Soup
Half a month later, Yan Qing led a dozen people to find Luo Bai in Luzhong with the tokens from Yan Ying, joined the Gentleman Sect, and became the backbone of the Gentleman Sect.
At the same time, Yan Ying's courtyard was surrounded by hidden guards, and there were a few more people surnamed Yan in the barracks far away from the border.
Yan Ying's layout was proceeding in an orderly manner, but a martial arts assassin appeared in the palace.
The assassin wanted to assassinate the emperor, but was discovered by the eunuch Jing Ming next to him. As soon as the crown prince and the assassin fought against each other, they immediately discovered that the familiar movement technique was the Zhou family's sword technique. Weapons can be changed, but the moves that a person has practiced since childhood are hard to change. Knowing the identity of the assassin, the prince was shocked immediately, his subordinates relaxed their strength, and the assassin was seriously injured and escaped from the palace.
Martial law inside and outside the palace was chasing the assassin. In a thatched hut in the woods on the outskirts of Beijing, a seriously injured man in black took off his mask, looking like Zhou Kuang.
The prince led people to chase outside the city. His father ordered him to arrest the assassin. He had to obey. He only wanted to take Zhou Kuang back and find a death row prisoner to replace him. He never thought that Zhou Kuang was so staunch. He drew his sword and killed himself.
The heroine Zhou Jiayi has been recuperating in the mansion during this period of time, and today she finally managed to get the butler to let her go outside the city to relax, but unexpectedly, it started to rain just outside the city.
Zhou Jiayi immediately saw the thatched hut in the forest, and wanted to take shelter from the rain, but unexpectedly saw the scene of Ji Moqian forcing his second brother to death.
Zhou Jiayi dismounted, staggered to the second brother's body, and cried bitterly while hugging Zhou Kuang's body. Her face was full of tears, her heart filled with remorse, and she looked at Ji Moqian with hatred: "Ji Moqian, you killed the second brother, If I had known today, I shouldn’t have let you go.”
