"Li Yuanba, clear the way! Anyone who blocks my path will die!" Jiang Tian snorted coldly and quickly walked forward.

"Bai Qi, mobilize twenty breech-loading cannons and surround the Yang residence. Anyone who dares to go out will be executed by cannon fire."

"Chen Feilong, put on a mask, drag a hundred corpses from outside the city and throw them all into the Yang residence."

"Damn it, I don't believe it. Those bastards from the Yang family won't get infected with the plague."

...

Inside the Yang residence.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Jiang Tian has brought people to cause trouble at the gate of our Yang residence."

"Several of our servants were beaten to death."

Upon hearing this, Yang Delin immediately stood up.

"Is there no law anymore?" Yang Delin, Yang Dezhi, and the others quickly walked outside.

“Jiang Tian disregards human life and comes to our Yang family to kill people. He really thinks we are easy targets and can be bullied at will.”

"Jiang Tian needs to be taught a lesson; this kid is getting more and more arrogant."

"We must suppress Jiang Tian's arrogance, otherwise our Yang family will never have peace."

"If the tiger doesn't show its power, Jiang Tian will think we're a sick cat."

Thud...

Just as the Yang family was heading towards the main gate, the gate was suddenly flung open.

Several servants flew in, and they all fell to the ground, their brains splattered, dying on the spot.

The dozen or so members of the Yang family were completely dumbfounded.

A series of horn sounds rang out from the Yang family compound.

Jiang Tian walked in: "This place is nice."

Although the gate of the Yang residence was not particularly impressive, the courtyard was enormous.

It's practically every household.

Before Jiang Tian transmigrated here, he had visited the Palace Museum and the Wang Family Compound in Jiangxi.

The Wang Family Compound is much larger than the Palace Museum, more than twice its size.

And this Yang residence is even larger than the Wang family compound.

"This place must cover a thousand acres."

The Yang family members quickly walked up to Jiang Tian.

Before they could speak, Jiang Tian spoke first.

"I, Jiang Tian, ​​came to your Yang residence to cause trouble. I've been in a bad mood these past few days."

"I don't know how our Yang family offended Lord Jiang," Yang Delin quickly said.

"Our Yang family has always been law-abiding and has never done anything against the law. May I ask what brings Lord Jiang here with such a large entourage?"

Jiang Tian pointed to several servants lying on the ground with their brains splattered: "Countless civilians outside the city have died or been injured; they have recently contracted a plague."

"I asked someone yesterday why a plague suddenly broke out inside and outside the city."

"Guess what they said."

The Yang family members quickly shook their heads.

Yang Delin: "Lord Jiang, has anyone spoken ill of us to you, saying anything detrimental to our Yang family? If so, Lord Jiang, please investigate thoroughly. Our Yang family is loyal to the emperor and the country, and has always taken the fate of the nation as our responsibility."

"Ouch... Ouch..." Jiang Tian reached out and patted Yang Delin's face. These few pats seemed very light, but they made Yang Delin's face burn with pain.

The Yang family was immediately enraged.

“Master of the family…” Yang Dezhi stepped forward quickly.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Jiang Tian glared at Yang Dezhi, who took a step back in fright.

"I asked several experts, and they all said that this outbreak of plague was caused by your Yang family."

So many people have died outside the city. They were all parents' flesh and blood, parents of children. They have died tragically. What should we do?

As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, everyone panicked.

Yang Delin laughed heartily: "If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext."

Our Yang family has a clear conscience.

"What does this plague outbreak have to do with our Yang family?"

"When I say we have a connection, then we have a connection."

Yang Delin: "Why was our Yang family unaffected by the plague, while corpses lay strewn across the fields outside the city, with bones exposed in the wilderness?"

"Lord Jiang, you have killed too many people, forcibly seized land, and distributed it among those lowly people. This has angered Heaven, and Heaven has sent down a plague. These people are suffering retribution in this life."

“Lord Jiang, if you want to pin this plague on our Yang family, we will definitely not admit it.”

Jiang Tian did not expect that the head of the Yang family would reveal the whole reason for the outbreak of this plague.

“No one in our Yang family has been affected in any way, which fully demonstrates that this outbreak of plague is Heaven’s way of taking it too far.” Yang Delin glanced at Jiang Tian. “No one can take what belongs to us. Whoever takes it will be punished by Heaven and suffer retribution.”

"You won't get the plague? I'd like to see how your Yang family will die."

Jiang Tian glanced at the Yang family members and said, "Listen up, everyone. This land does not belong to your Yang family. This land belongs to our Great Xia Dynasty."

How these lands should be allocated is up to me, Jiang Tian.

Yang Dezhi: "Jiang Tian, ​​you're planning to seize by force. Do you really think the Yang family members are easy to bully?"

Yang Chao: "If anyone takes our land, we will fight them to the death."

Yang Gongda: "Jiang Tian, ​​you're just a greenhorn who's only just arrived in the capital. Do you even know how deep the waters run in the capital?"

"You might end up dying here."

"Don't be arrogant, for when the sky is arrogant, rain will surely fall, and when people are arrogant, someone will surely take them down."

"Jiang Tian, ​​our Yang family's influence extends throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty. Who doesn't know our Yang family's capabilities?"

“Even a single hair we pluck is thicker than your waist.”

The number of Yang family members gathered there kept increasing.

Over a thousand people have gathered in the courtyard.

These people are becoming increasingly arrogant.

"What are you doing?" Li Yuanba swung his hammer with great force. "My lord, these guys are too arrogant. I'll kill a few of them."

“When have we ever been treated like this? Just give the order and I’ll smash them all into mincemeat.”

Not only Li Yuanba couldn't stand it anymore, but Ling Yunzhi and the others had wanted to fight for a long time.

“Kill them. It’ll be effortless,” Jiang Tian said. “Letting them die like this is too easy for them.”

More than a dozen large trucks carrying over two hundred corpses quickly passed through the city gate.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the dozen or so carts arrived outside the Yang residence.

People from both inside and outside the city gathered around, surprised that Jiang Tian was preparing to take action against the Yang family so soon.

"Although not many members of the Yang family hold official positions in the imperial court, their influence is greater than that of the Pang family, the chief minister of the cabinet, and the Zhou family, the deputy chief minister of the cabinet, in the city."

"We can't afford to offend the Yang family. Could it be that Lord Jiang is just putting on a show for us?"

"Everyone in the world knows that the Yang family's power is deeply entrenched, and even the current emperor is afraid of them."

"I heard that if anyone touches the Yang family's land, God will send down a plague. Almost all the people outside the city have died."

"Lord Jiang is new here and has no idea how powerful the Yang family is."
