Chapter 49 (1/2)
Everyone felt baffled at the scene — the two children were arguing a while ago with everyone watching them in enjoyment, how did the winds change and suddenly bring in the topic of the Emperor? To insult the Emperor, and harbor plans of rebelling was a crime which would cause the extermination of all nine generations of one’s family! How did Young Master Yang not know this and proceed to insult the other party’s uncle-in-law?
Because Ling Tian’s voice was too soft, so everyone did not hear Ling Tian saying ”tell that to my aunt's husband”. They only heard Young n.o.ble Yang suddenly burst out scolding the other party’s uncle-in-law, and even venomously so, and furthermore fluently cursing!
s.h.i.+t has. .h.i.t the fan!
Everyone present only saw the Young Master Yang standing there stock still in shock. Then, the audience hurriedly moved their legs to escape. Are you kidding me? In just a blink of an eye, an old hen transformed into a duck! Since the topic went to rebelling, why would the people of their caliber stay when the only option there was death?
Ling Tian s.h.i.+fted his vision, and glanced towards Ling Yi — Ling Yi was a bodyguard of the Ling family, and also one which had constantly opposed the Yang Family for many years. While he worked as a coachman on the surface, he had virtually seen all the struggles of the two families over the years. Of course, Ling Tian had to consult him to understand how he should proceed in order to reap the full benefits.
Under their tacit agreement, Ling Tian suddenly jumped onto the chariot, shouting: ”All are not to move! Those present here are all witnesses! If anyone dares to move, he or she will be dealt with in the same crime of rebellion! The punishment will be the extermination of your nine generations!” Once he spoke, those on the street froze like blocks of wood! Everyone had an expression of dread, with their limbs shaking as they screamed in their hearts: ”Why am I so unlucky!”
”I came here to watch a good show but got turned into a witness for a crime of rebellion! What is the reasoning behind this suffering!” Many of them secretly swore; even if there was a beautiful lady doing a striptease on the streets in future, they would not even stay there to observe! This sort of matter was death-inducing!
Behind the Yang Family’s chariot, a servant suddenly pushed apart the crowd and sped off. In a blink of an eye not even his shadow could be seen. Obviously, he had gone back to the Yang Residence to report the matter.
However, Ling Tian did not even bat an eyelid, as though he had not noticed the blatant escape. He did not think that the Yang Family will be destroyed by this, and only thought he could use this chance to bring the Yang’s Young Master down a notch. Secretly throwing Ling Yi a glance, he gave a tacit signal, and Ling Yi immediately sliced off the bridle of one of the horses pulling the chariot. He then got on the horse and speed along towards the Ling Residence.
”Little thing, how dare you try to climb up my head! Watch how this little grandpa play you to death!” Ling Tian thought to himself happily. However, his facial expression remained chilly as he scolded, ”Men, what are you still waiting for! Tie them all up! No one shall be exempted!”
Yang Wei’s pitch went up by an octave as he shouted: ”You dare!”
A wave of disdain surfaced in Ling Tian’s heart. Waving his hands, he continued: ”Anyone who resists would be considered a rebel! Kill them without mercy! Men, hurry up!”
”Yes!” The various guards of the Ling Residence shouted out their acknowledgement, pouncing towards the people like wolves and tigers. The moment they grabbed onto someone, they would first give them a good beating before tying them up; finally the ropes ran out, and they started to take out the belts of the unfortunate victims to use as a rope… in that moment, all the Ling bodyguards were high-spirited, delightedly carrying themselves without restraint. After fighting with the Yang Family for 3 decades, this was the first time they could let loose all their frustrations.
How would the Yang Family’s bodyguard and butler know that just a single sentence from their Young Master would land them in such trouble! Right now, everyone was behaving similarly, not daring to move, allowing themselves to be tied up. Thinking of moving? You must be joking, it would be counted as treason! Ling Tian was completely willing to kill on the streets! Furthermore, even if they were killed, it would be just and proper and no one would say a word against him.
Glancing at the audiences lying wrapped like dumplings on the floor in satisfaction, Ling Tian nodded his head. He then slowly walked in front of Yang Wei, saying: ”Young Master Yang, I just thought of it, I have not asked for your name yet.”
Yang Wei had on a face of viciousness, coldly snorting: ”Kid, don’t be too happy! I won’t let you go, definitely not!”
