#186 - The End of the Yang Family
The Yang family residence.
“Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!”
A massive thunderclap and lightning flash instantly swept across the heavens and earth.
Especially Yang Weitu, who was on the pavilion, could hear and see it even more clearly.
He was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground, not daring to move.
The others, whether it was Uncle Li, Ma Bin, or Song Chenfeng, also hurriedly bent down and moved away from the window.
After a moment.
Everything returned to silence.
The crowd then dazedly stood up and went to the window of the pavilion to look out.
What happened?
This was everyone's first thought.
Because the terrain here was relatively high, although they couldn't see the details clearly, they could see a general picture.
Especially the three martial artists, they immediately heard that the direction of the thunder and lightning was the direction of the military camp.
When everyone looked, they couldn't help but be shocked.
In their line of sight, they could clearly see that the army had returned to the camp, and the gate was tightly closed.
And the Taiping Dao and those disaster victims seemed to be worshiping.
Because the military camp was in a remote corner of Qingzhou City and the distance was too far.
“Quickly order them to send troops and kill all those disaster victims!”
“It's already this time, what is that bastard Lei Yu doing?”
No one paid attention to Yang Weitu's angry roar.
The remaining three looked at each other, their eyes filled with intense unease.
Something must have happened!
Otherwise, the army would not have rashly returned to the camp.
Just then, suddenly all the disaster victims on the street went crazy!
Waves of shouts started from the gate of the military camp and then quickly spread in all directions in Qingzhou City.
This wave quickly spread to the vicinity of the Yang family residence.
Now, everyone could hear clearly.
The content of the disaster victims' cheers was nothing more than what the Great Virtuous Teacher had led down from the heavens to eliminate evil demons and monsters.
What Five Thunder Righteous Method, the Great Virtuous Teacher's boundless magic power.
In the mouths of these people, the Great Virtuous Teacher was blown into something like a god.
The crowd naturally didn't believe the words of these fanatical believers.
But the thunder and lightning just now was something the crowd couldn't explain.
At this moment.
Steward Li exclaimed:
“Look!”
“Those commoners are all crazy!”
The crowd hurriedly looked over.
They saw that the Taiping Dao outside had already started to put up ladders on the walls of the Yang family.
Even outside the gate of the Yang family, a group of Yellow Turbans had brought a thick tree trunk, seemingly to use it as a battering ram.
They actually wanted to rush into the Yang family!
Yang Weitu shouted angrily when he saw this:
“These commoners actually want to rush in?!”
“Everyone, pick up your weapons and prepare to fight them!”
Seeing this, Steward Li hurriedly pushed Yang Weitu away.
He roared at the servants below:
“Everyone, retreat to the inner courtyard, use this pavilion as the center to tighten the defensive circle and defend!”
The Yang family residence was too big, and there were too many lowly people outside.
The best way now was to shrink the forces to defend, otherwise they couldn't defend at all.
At this moment, Steward Li didn't care about the distinction between master and servant, he only wanted to protect the Yang family.
Seeing this, Ma Bin couldn't continue to stay with Yang Weitu on this building:
“I'll go down and command all the martial artists!”
Saying that, he hurriedly ran downstairs.
And Yang Weitu grabbed Song Chenfeng of the Six Doors and questioned:
“When exactly will your Six Doors take action?”
“Do you have to watch our Yang family be breached by the rioters?”
Song Chenfeng also couldn't figure out the situation for a while, he was about to speak.
Suddenly.
“Swoosh!”
An arrow shot from afar.
The arrowhead was firmly nailed to the window lattice, and a letter was tied to the shaft.
Seeing this, Song Chenfeng happily said:
“The Six Doors have sent a message!”
Flying arrow delivery was a common method used by the Six Doors.
Song Chenfeng immediately stepped forward, took down the letter from the shaft, opened it, and began to read.
Yang Weitu and Uncle Li both looked at Song Chenfeng, hoping to get good news from Song Chenfeng.
However.
Song Chenfeng's brows gradually furrowed, and finally, a look of horror appeared on his face.
“What exactly does the letter say?!”
“Don't dawdle in front of this young master!”
Yang Weitu grabbed Song Chenfeng and shouted angrily.
Song Chenfeng turned his head to look at Yang Weitu, and at this moment, he no longer concealed his disgust for this rich young master.
He even reached out and pushed Yang Weitu away unceremoniously.
Afterward, Song Chenfeng coldly said:
“The garrison army had internal strife, Cao Shou Feng Tian killed the garrison commander Lei Yu and Vice Prefect An Liangbi, and then led the army back to the camp and closed the gate tightly, no longer going out.”
“The Six Doors has issued an order, requiring all members to immediately return to the Six Doors to be on guard and defend.”
“Young Master Yang, I'm leaving, take care of yourselves.”
Hearing this, Yang Weitu and Steward Li were both stunned.
How could the army suddenly have internal strife?
Without the help of the army, how could they resist the Taiping Dao and the rioters outside?
At this moment, Yang Weitu finally panicked, he hurriedly said:
“Song Chenfeng, you can't leave!”
“Where is your Six Doors' Commander Qi?”
“Quickly ask him to protect our Yang family! How much money, I will donate to your Six Doors!”
“I can guarantee that everyone in your Six Doors will be able to get silver that they can't spend in a lifetime!”
“As long as they come to protect our Yang family!”
Yang Weitu finally put down the airs of the Yang family's young master and began to plead in a low voice.
He knew that now in the entire Qingzhou City, the only ones who could protect their Yang family were the Six Doors.
So, he finally stopped begrudging the silver and was willing to pay any price!
However, all he received was Song Chenfeng's cold reply:
"Commander Qi is already dead, struck by lightning just now."
"Young Master Yang, don't you understand yet?"
"Your Yang family is finished!"
"Take care of yourself."
Having said that, Song Chenfeng ignored Yang Weitu, leaped out of the pavilion, and used his qinggong to quickly leave the Yang residence.
Watching Song Chenfeng's departing figure, Yang Weitu couldn't help but collapse to the ground.

He stared blankly, muttering:
"How could this be…"
"Wasn't Commander Qi known as the number one expert in Qingzhou? How did he die too?"
"What will our Yang family do now?"
"Our backer is Consort Han! Even if they don't care about the Yang family's reputation, they have to consider the Consort's face!"
"How dare they do this? How dare they disregard the Consort's instructions!"
Yang Weitu was now completely lost.
The Senluo Sect's reinforcements were held back by the Guiyi Sect, unable to come to Qingzhou City to rescue the Yang family in the short term.
And in Qingzhou City, the yamen that had originally supported the Yang family were successively abandoning them.
How could the Yang family turn the tables now?
Uncle Li looked at Yang Weitu's dispirited appearance and shook his head helplessly.
He turned and went to the window, looking outside.
He happened to see Ma Bin, who had just run down, being cut down by a saber-wielding warrior from the Taiping Dao.
The warrior's treasured saber was like a cold moon, exceptionally sharp, and no one could withstand it.
He also saw a beautiful young girl with a long spear, who had already jumped into the courtyard wall. Her spear was powerful and swept across, invincible.
He also saw more warriors from the Taiping Dao, rapidly killing their way into the Yang residence, attacking the warriors guarding the Yang family.
And the countless Yellow Turban soldiers and disaster victims, each of them climbing over the walls as if they were mad.
This group of people had completely gone mad!
They killed anyone from the Yang family they saw, set fire to the Yang family's houses, and smashed everything belonging to the Yang family.
With the army withdrawn and the Six Doors gone.
The Taiping Dao now had no scruples and had completely unleashed a general offensive.
And the Yang family people…
They were screaming and running away.
Those weaklings who were once beneath their notice, those lowly people who usually bowed and scraped before them, those cowards who were once in awe and fear of them.
At this moment, they were reaping their lives!
The outer defenses had completely collapsed.
The survivors fled to the last circle of defense beneath the pavilion, trembling, crying helplessly.
Anyone could see that this circle of defense wouldn't last long either.
The Yang family…
This time, they had truly encountered a disaster!
"How laughable!"
A voice rang in Uncle Li's ear.
He turned his head and saw that Yang Weitu had actually calmed down, standing beside him and looking down with him.
Yang Weitu stretched out his hand and pointed to the Yang family members below the pavilion:
"Uncle Li, look at them."
"A few days ago, they were fighting fiercely with me for the position of family head, each making more noise than the last."
"But what about now? They can only cower in the corner and cry."
"Look at this Yang family, it's about to be over. Look at the fires rising everywhere in the city, all the Yang family's assets and shops being ignited by the rioters."
"It's over… everything is over!"
"If I had known this would happen, what was the point of fighting over these things?"
"Even if I became the family head, what could I do?"
"I thought that the Yang family would prosper in my hands, but who could have imagined… that it would come to an end."
Yang Weitu couldn't help but cover his face and cry as he said this.
Obviously, at this moment, he had already accepted the Yang family's fate.
Steward Li couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions in his heart.
He could feel that the young master had grown up, especially after tonight, the young master would surely grow into a more calm and sensible person.
But it was a pity… this kind of growth came too late.
Steward Li took a deep breath and said to Yang Weitu with a serious face:
"Young Master, please don't give up!"
"I will go and negotiate with the Great Virtuous Teacher of the Taiping Dao!"
"Our Yang family is willing to surrender, giving him everything he wants, as long as he can spare our Yang family."
"As long as the Yang family is preserved, even if the money is gone, we can continue to earn it."
Yang Weitu shook his head helplessly when he heard this.
He sighed sadly:
"It's useless…"
"The Great Virtuous Teacher will not leave us a chance to counterattack. He must eliminate us before the Senluo Sect and the Consort's aid arrive."
"As for the property, if he kills us all, won't all the property be his?"
"Uncle Li, go tell the people in the family to find their own ways to escape…"
After saying that, Yang Weitu waved his hand dejectedly, dismissing Steward Li.
Steward Li hurriedly went down the pavilion, preparing to negotiate with the Taiping Dao.
How would he know there would be no results without trying?
But not long after he went down the pavilion, he saw a group of Yellow Turban soldiers breaking through the defenses and rushing in.
Steward Li hurriedly shouted:
"Where is the Great Virtuous Teacher?"
"I am the Yang family's steward, I want to negotiate with the Great Virtuous Teacher!"
"Our Yang family is willing to surrender, please—"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a flash of saber light.
The next moment, Steward Li heard the sound of cold wind entering his throat…
What a fast saber!
