Chapter 56: Reunion with the Black Stone Head

looking for Wang Gui.Wang Gu knew that revealing the truth would cause trouble for Yang Lin, but the other party pleaded desperately. As they were both unfortunate people who shared a similar plight,...Liu Liang was stunned for a long time, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

He never expected things to turn out this way!

When he learned that his mother had given all of the Liu family's silver and all the land deeds to Yang Lin, he even thought his mother was crazy.

Just now, his mother told him that all of this was arranged by his father, and the depth of meaning behind it was beyond his imagination!

"So, Liang'er, you have to believe in your father's plan. Over all these years, everything he has planned has never gone wrong."

Liu Zhang said earnestly, "At first, I didn't understand either. But after thinking about it, I figured it out."

"First of all, those land deeds, they're worthless, just like sitting in our hands! Yang Lin pays high wages, everyone goes to work for him. We have so much land, but nobody does the work, what can we do It can only be left fallow."

"And what about all that silver Your father once said that silver is a good thing, but whether you can keep hold of it depends on your ability!"

"If you lack ability, even with a lot of silver, it will only accumulate for others."

"So, let's give Yang Lin the money first and spread the word that he has taken our family's silver and land. This way, everyone will know that Yang Lin is now holding a hot potato."

"Your father said that when everyone knows that our land is with Yang Lin, they will definitely go to trouble him and hold him responsible for this!"

"We'll just let them know, Yang Lin will become the new landlord of Kecheng Village!"

This way, before your father gets back, nothing will happen to our house.

Liu Liang nodded hurriedly: "Son understands!"

Just now his mother had explained it to him several times, and finally he understood what his father was thinking.

"Your father said that Yang Lin is just looking after our money and land, and taking the pressure and anger for us."

"So many things, all kept by him alone. When your father comes back, you can take them all back together!"

As for the silver, although he has over three thousand taels with him, even with that much silver, he wouldn't be able to spend it all. After all, as long as we solve Yang Lin, the silver will naturally still belong to us!

And even he thinks our family is broke, so he'll let his guard down. You can take advantage of this time to go to Pingyuan Mansion and find your fourth master!

"As long as you, Fourth Master, are willing to step in and use your connections, your father will be fine."

"So, Lianger, all our hopes and dreams rest on you!"

"Five hundred taels of silver notes are sewn inside your clothes. When you reach Pingyuan County, don't wander around. Go straight to your fourth master and hand over the money!"

Liu Liang couldn't help but ask, "But our family and the Fourth Master's family haven't been in touch for many years. What if the Fourth Master refuses to help us"

"Oh!"

Liu Zhang sighed: “This is precisely where your father's strategy shines.”

“If we can't rely on the Fourth Master, then in the future, we can only depend on Yang Lin’s every breath!”

"Your father is good at judging people. He once said that Yang Lin is capable and resourceful, but he lacks ruthlessness."

He promised your father, he'll definitely keep his word. So even if your trip to Pingyuan County doesn't succeed, we might as well truly throw our allegiance to Yang Lin and depend on him. This kills two birds with one stone, no matter what, we can still protect our family!

Liu Liang nodded heavily, feeling even more admiration for his father in his heart.

In the past, he was just a lazy good-for-nothing.

And now that the Liu family has undergone such a drastic change, he has matured considerably overnight. He also wants to do something to save his family.

As for relying on Yang Lin when all else fails

He can't accept it!

"Mother, please rest assured and wait for my good news!"

Liu Liang took a deep breath, put on his backpack, and stood up to leave.

Just then, the housekeeper rushed in.

"Madam, Master, something has happened!"

Liu Zhangshi angrily said, "Why are you panicking What's going on" "Yang Lin! Yang Lin gave away all the land deeds from our family!"

The housekeeper gasped for breath and said.

"What"

What

Liu Zhangshi and Liu Liang both widened their eyes in astonishment.

Just now, Yang Lin led people to capture all the bandits. Then, when everyone came back from the mountain, Yang Lin announced that he would distribute land to everyone. He was even giving out land deeds at his doorstep just a moment ago. I'm afraid they are all gone by now!

Liu Zhang's body swayed, and she collapsed onto the chair, crying out, "That was all our family land! Why is Yang Lin doing this Why did he just give it away"

Liu Zhang angrily slapped the table.

Just now, I had a conversation with my son. When I mentioned Liu Youcai's scheme, I was still smug, thinking about how I would get all this land back and Yang Lin's despair in the future.

But now, Yang Lin actually gave away all the land

Doesn't that mean, the father's plan has all gone down the drain

If all the land is with Yang Lin, then at that time, we only need to deal with Yang Lin himself, and we can get all the land back.

Now, Yang Lin has distributed all the farmland.

You can't possibly eliminate over a hundred households, can you

The Liu family spent over twenty years using all sorts of despicable and underhanded tactics to amass so much land.

Now the fields have returned to the villagers' hands, and it will take at least that many years to reclaim them!

Most importantly, now that the villagers are working with Yang Lin, their lives are getting better and better. Will they have the opportunity to use those methods again in the future

Liu Zhangshi was lost in thought, at a loss for what to do.

Liu Liang, however, recovered after a moment of absentmindedness.

After going through hardships, his resilience had strengthened considerably. Seeing his mother despondent, he quickly consoled her, saying: “Mother, it’s alright. Even if we lose the farmland, we still have over three thousand taels of silver. When the time comes, we can bring back the silver and we'll still be wealthy!”

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

Liu Zhang hurriedly nodded.

Yang Lin's actions left her completely disoriented and at a loss.

Thinking of Yang Lin still having over three thousand taels of silver, he finally felt a little more at ease.

……

At the same time, in front of Yang Lin's house.

With the escort of guards arranged and a new mining team recruited, Yang Lin was eager to set off.

Although he was certain that the black stone was coal, he still needed to see the mine's size and mining difficulty for himself before he would be satisfied.

"Wait a moment, I'll go with you!"

Li Yuxiang chased after her, followed by Liao Hongying.

"That's a good idea, but the journey is far. Can you travel that distance"

Li Yuxiang nodded calmly.

"Twenty li is nothing! No problem!"

Both women were armed with crossbows, their bearing was valiant and spirited. Though their clothes were simple, they couldn't conceal a particularly special air about them.

More than an hour later, a group of thirty people finally arrived at Mount Laohei.

Before Yang Lin even reached the coal mine, he saw the kind of black stone that couldn't be burned, as described by the bandits.

The mountains are full of them!

Seeing this black stone, Yang Lin was astonished again!e never expected Yang Lin to solve the problem in this way!In this way, not only would the five hundred people in Jianghe County be spared, but also the tens of thousands of people in the surrounding...
