Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

On this side, Wang Tingshan was stopped at the intersection as soon as he drove out of the Yun family.

"This is the carriage of Lord Wang. Who is coming?"

The driver waved his whip with an unhappy look on his face, as if he would whip the other party if he was disrespectful.

The man on the road bowed and said, "Sir, I am a servant of Yu Mansion. Our General Yu would like to invite Lord Wang to come to the mansion to discuss something."

The attendant leaned against the door and whispered to Wang Tingshan inside the car, "Sir, do you want to go?"

Wang Tingshan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the car, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ask him, is he General Yu Shida from the military office?"

The Yu family servant said, "It is our general."

"Let's go and meet him."

In stark contrast to Yun Zhenchuan, Yu Shida seemed to have anticipated Wang Tingshan's arrival and was waiting at the gate early with a respectful attitude.

After all, Yu Shida was young, and Wang Tingshan knew what he was thinking. He did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, repeating what he had said at the Yun family.

Driven by greed, Yu Shida agreed to provide manpower, money and food.

"Can you make the decision on the grain tax issue?" Wang Tingshan raised his eyelids and looked at him.

In order to gain Wang Tingshan's trust, Yu Shida patted his chest and spoke with great ambition.

"How can I not make the decision? Yun Zhenchuan is a coward and is nothing more than Feng Yongyan's lackey. If my Yu family doesn't agree to the grain tax in the south, he won't be able to take away a single grain!"

He had heard about the power of the Wang family of Dongyue. If he boarded this ship, he would have the opportunity to expand his team.

He was cautious and did not tell Wang Tingshan about the Xihe iron mine and salt field.

Let’s wait for him to bring his men back before dealing with the Yun family.

The two of them were in cahoots with each other. You wanted money and food, and I wanted people and power, and we reached a consensus on this.

Two days before Wang Tingshan arrived, the Yunye brothers received a letter from Yun Zhenchuan.

Wang Tingshan knew that the Yun family was a group of righteous people. With Yu Shida joining him, he prepared to change his rhetoric to persuade the Yun brothers.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, when he saw Lin Yinan still sitting in the conference room, his brows slightly frowned, and he felt a little unhappy.

"We have important matters to discuss, Madam Yun San, please go and get busy," he said implicitly.

Yun Mo hated to hear people say that women couldn't be in charge. She turned her head away, not even bothering to look at Wang Tingshan.

Yun Ye cleared his throat and said seriously, "You may not know, my brother and I are not good at government affairs. We are only responsible for guarding the house. All family affairs are handled by my sister-in-law."

Lin Yinan glanced at Wang Tingshan and spoke in a cold and light voice.

"If you don't want to talk, please go back!"

Wang Tingshan has held a high position in the court for many years. He has never had anyone dare to treat him like this.

Although he looked down on women being in charge, he dared not say anything because she had the support of the Yun family.

Exhaling a breath, he slowly stated the purpose of his trip.

"Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country!" Wang Tingshan said in a heavy tone at last.

"When my grandfather, father and eldest brother died in the war, the court wished that the Yun family would be wiped out, and pushed the old, young, women and children in the family to take the blame. Why are they pushing the responsibility onto my Yun family now?" Yun Mo stared at Wang Tingshan coldly.

"Alas, there was nothing we could do at the time." Wang Tingshan looked helpless.

The Yun Mo brothers remained silent. From the news that came back, when the Yun family was in trouble, not a single civil or military official came to plead for the Yun family.

Lin Yinan refused directly, "Please go back, Lord Wang! The Yun family doesn't want to live on the edge of a knife anymore. We just want to live a good life here."

"You are so soft-hearted!" Wang Tingshan shouted, and the pressure he had accumulated over the years as an official was instantly released.

As a doomsday warrior, Lin Yinan has been living on the edge of a knife for nearly ten years. However, he is not afraid of such a paper tiger at all. He stares at him with sharp, bloodthirsty and cruel eyes, as if Wang Tingshan is going to be a zombie about to explode in the next moment.

"I want to ask you, your slogans are loud and clear, and you are just promoting the great cause of the Great Yan Nation, but it is just for your own selfishness. You let the Yun brothers command the army for you, just because you think the Yun family members are capable and easy to control, and you can push them out as scapegoats at a critical moment."

This was no different from the history she knew. The mixed Hu coalition forces invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, burning, killing and looting at will. At this time, the aristocratic families took the opportunity to take in the refugee army and fight for territory and power.

They are but a drop in the ocean of this world, unable to resist the gears of history, unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, and certainly not able to lead the people who have survived untold hardships to die.

Not everyone has the skills that she and the Yun family have. She is keen on power and does not want to climb up by stepping on the flesh and blood of the people in this city.

The only thing she could do was to protect them under her wings. Although she was the leader of this city, her abilities were limited, so she could only do this.

Yun Ye's face darkened. "Lord Wang, upholding justice is not something you can just say. How many people will die in this? Don't you know?"

"How can great things be accomplished without sacrifice?"

"Please go back! Ever since the court exiled the Yun family, the life and death of the Great Yan Kingdom has nothing to do with our Yun family."

Wang Tingshan still did not give up, "This is a great opportunity to clear the name of the Yun family! Don't you want to seek justice for your father and brothers who died in the battle and the 100,000 soldiers?"

"Justice is in the hearts of the people. The Yun family has made so many years of efforts, and the people have their own standards of right and wrong. We don't need to prove it ourselves." Yun Ye said.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't care, but when his father and brothers sent him to the battlefield, their only hope was for him to survive with the women and children of the Yun family.

He must keep this promise, take good care of his third and fourth brothers, and raise his nephews safely.

No one spoke, and Lin Yinan picked up the tea and took a sip.

Even after saying this, the Yun brothers were still stubborn and Wang Tingshan had no choice but to give up.

After he left, Lin Yinan looked back at the two brothers.

"Anan, what are you doing? My second brother and I will not participate." Yun Mo felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Yun Ye spoke up to help him out, "Don't worry, Third Brother, I will keep an eye on Third Brother and won't let him do anything reckless."

"I'm afraid the Yu family will take this opportunity to make trouble for us."

The three were discussing the follow-up response plan when Lin Yiheng hurried in carrying a sack.

"Anan, we have made what you asked for. We worked all morning and only got half a sack."

He opened the bag and scooped out a handful.

"What is this? Why does it look so much like the gravel on the Xihe beach?" Yun Mo picked up a handful and put it under his nose to smell it, then looked at Lin Yiheng in confusion, "It doesn't smell fishy, ​​so it's not gravel?"

Lin Yiheng was about to speak, but Lin Yinan stopped him, "Put it in your mouth and try it."

Yun Mo had no doubt about it and put the candy in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"Sweet? Is it sugar?!" He was a little unsure, with his eyebrows and eyes wrinkled.

Seeing that his brother had a bitter face, Yunye also reached out and picked up some and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

Lin Yinan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at them with a smile, "Yes, this is white sugar."
