Chapter 847: Grab the goods when they are available, don’t wait until they are gone and then sigh

When the Xu family encountered trouble, Xu Mingyang was less than ten years old. He knew nothing about the outside world and was spoiled by his family, causing him to have many problems.

It's really something you can carry with you everywhere, and it's not fun enough just to use as a little gadget to relieve boredom.

But as he grew older, he was exposed to more things, and learned some details from the old man and Uncle Xu, which were enough for him to piece together a complete framework on his own.

During the Xu family's exile, many assassination attempts were deliberately arranged.

There are many people who don't want them to live and hope that they will die a bad death.

But all the robberies and ambushes with ill intentions were cleverly prevented.

All of these were urgently arranged by Xu Yu the night before the imperial edict to confiscate property arrived after he realized that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.

It was also because of this that Xu Yu did not have time to go to the Sang family to cancel the engagement overnight, and directly dragged Sang Zhixia into the relationship on the first day of his marriage.

When the fact that his family's property was confiscated was unavoidable, Xu Yu did his utmost to make the most arrangements, and at all costs achieved his goal of confiscating their property and exiling them without harming the lives of his relatives.

Even the routes and destinations of their forced exile were repeatedly modified and concealed, and the routes they took to Kyoto were completely different from the ones they actually took.

Xu Yu never mentioned it to anyone, and Xu Mingyang never asked about it.

But everyone in the Xu family knew that this was true.

Because only the former young master of the Xu family, the current head of the Xu family, can mobilize the hidden power of the Xu family, and only Xu Yu can do it.

Before Xu Mingyang entered Kyoto, he seriously corresponded with Xu Minghui and asked for a list of his enemies. This time he really came for revenge.

Xu Minghui seems to be as gentle as jade, but in fact he is narrow-minded as a needle tip, and his ability to hold grudges is even stronger than Xu Yu's.

The list he personally compiled after years of investigation was very detailed, even accurately indicating the current life and death status of these people, and gave Xu Mingyang a hint as to where he could start to annoy them.

How could Xu Mingyang be willing to let go of such a good opportunity?

Xu Mingyang said disdainfully: "You still want to sow discord between me and Big Brother? Why don't you just take a basin and catch your urine to see what you are made of."

"Just because I look stupid, do you really think I'm a fool?"

Anyone who despises him will pay the price.

He's not polite to anyone.

The attendant laughed grimly after hearing this. Xu Mingyang picked at his nails lazily and said playfully, "Let's go to the next one."

"We are here to annoy people, so we must not be slow. Otherwise, if the Right Assistant Commander's team confiscates property before us, there will not be so much excitement to watch."

Xu Mingyang was like a little lion with its tail raised. He did not hide his malice at all. He put on an impeccable smile in Kyoto and unscrupulously poured out his desire for revenge.

Once, he ran into a team that was confiscating property. This guy rushed to join in the fun, personally went to the other person's private treasury to search it, and brought a lot of good things to present to Jiang Yubai.

He was eloquent and young, and his tongue seemed to be more dexterous than others. Even though there were only two of them standing together with Sang Yanyou, he managed to exude the aura of many people just by talking with his two mouths.

The two boys described vividly how the people whose homes were confiscated and beheaded were heartbroken and how they cried and begged for mercy, which made the listeners laugh continuously.

Jiang Yubai leaned on the pillow and said, "Did the master ask you to come with him to do some serious work, or to watch the fun?"

"How could you see so clearly how the wife and the concubine quarreled and cursed each other?"

Sang Yanyou's face was filled with regret, and he said angrily, "Young Prince, you don't know. We didn't want to watch so closely, but they were fighting in public, so it was not easy for us to intervene."

"That's right."

Xu Mingyang said excitedly: "That's really a rare and lively scene!"

"We were standing right in front, watching everything unfold. It's just that Lord Fang's favorite concubine is from Jiangnan, so she couldn't quite understand what he was saying when he was being scolded. But it definitely wasn't a nice thing to say."

Jiang Yubai shook his head and smiled subtly. Mr. Xue watched silently and breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for the time when these two little rascals came to make jokes and show off their treasures to entertain people, Jiang Yubai sat there all day without saying a word, which was terrifying to watch.

Now only these two guys can make him show more expression.

Xu Mingyang was still muttering, "My young prince, I'm telling you something. I heard that the Lord Su we're going to raid this afternoon was originally from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. He gets a lot of good materials every year, and they're all hidden in the warehouse."

"We'll go and take inventory later. If we see anything good, I'll have people collect it and send it all to the Tai Chi Hall!"

Jiang Yubai put his hand to his mouth and coughed a few times, then took a breath and said, "What am I going to do with all those beautiful materials?"

"Save it for your future wife and children!"

Sang Yanyou pounded his fist into his palm with an unquestionable firmness on his face, and said in a resounding voice: "Children grow up quickly, and their clothes, shoes and socks need to be replaced after just a few days of wearing. It is absolutely impossible to have insufficient material."

As if he was afraid that Jiang Yubai wouldn't believe him, Sang Yanyou emphasized seriously: "I am your uncle, little prince, you must believe me, everything I say is true."

Xu Mingyang nodded vigorously: "That's right."

"If I have eight or ten little kids in the future, a bunch of boys and girls, I won't be able to do without enough preparations. How unmanageable would that be as a father?"

Jiang Yubai looked at the two worldly treasures speechlessly. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise them for being thoughtful, or to get up and kick the man out with a strong will.

Mr. Xue couldn't help laughing and said, "Nonsense."

"The young prince owns the entire world. No matter how many children he has in the future, how can he be short of clothes and food?"

Xu Mingyang caught the pillow Jiang Yubai threw at him and laughed, "Then isn't it better to snatch it from someone else than to buy it with money?"

"As the saying goes, grab the goods when they are available, don't wait until they are gone and then sigh. Sir, what are you doing..."

“Ouch!”

"Why is the young prince still hitting people?"

Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou both hugged a long soft pillow and retreated in fear. Jiang Yubai pointed at the door and said with a mixture of anger and amusement: "Get out!"

"Get out of here!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll drag you out and spank you!"

People who are often beaten have a very keen ability to judge crises. They will throw away their pillows and run away without thinking.

Jiang Yubai held the edge of the bed with one hand and coughed a few times, then waved his hand to signal Mr. Xue that he was fine, his face turning a little redder with anger.

"You bastards, you're trying to make fun of me. I think it's just that they haven't been beaten by Xu Yu for too long, so they're getting slack and deserve a beating."

"How on earth did Xu Yu raise this child? Is he my younger brother, my brother-in-law, or a blatant bandit?"

If they were not disciplined enough, these two little bastards would be able to rule the mountain and become the kings!

Mr. Xue struggled to suppress his laughter and said in a serious tone, "You're still young. When you're young and frivolous, it's natural for you to do weird things."

"Besides, my dear prince, their hard work these days has not been in vain. They have collected a lot of good things for you to relieve your boredom. Isn't this..."

"Sir, are you talking about those parrots outside who can only curse and recite poems about the moon?"

Mr. Xue: “…”

Those parrots are really shameful and disgusting, and they are immoral and intolerable.

I actually forgot to throw it away. I was so careless.

Jiang Yubai was amused by the unpredictable look on Mr. Xue's face. He leaned back against the headboard and said with his eyes closed, "He's just as reckless as his elder brother. He's asking for a beating."

But the heart that I want to take out is pure and without any evil.

The bloodbath in Kyoto has been spreading too much recently. Everyone is afraid in this panic. Even Mr. Xue subconsciously regards Jiang Yubai as the monarch and dares not be careless with his words.

Only these two boys who had not yet experienced the world dared to laugh and joke in front of him as before.

It's as if nothing happened.

It's like...

What he looked like when he first arrived in the Northwest.

Nothing has changed.

Jiang Yubai was silent for a while and suddenly laughed softly: "Now I finally know what these two are used for."

He was neither here to bring him the warrant for Qianyuan Villa, nor was he here simply to broaden his horizons.

This was the parrot that Xu Yu sent to him from thousands of miles away to entertain him.

Living things can get angry, curse and talk a lot.

He is also good at asking for a beating.

Also good at running away.

Such a burst of vitality constantly reminds him that he is still alive.

It was not he who was forgotten in the land of the abyss.

He always stands among the people.
