She also reminded him: "If you encounter difficulties in the future and go to Beijing, I can still provide you with a full meal!"

The man nodded quickly: "Thank you, old lady!"

After saying that, he took the silver and left quickly.

Now that someone has taken the lead, more and more people are agreeing to split up the tribe.

Until only the old man's family was left, he froze on the spot, his face turning pale and blue.

He never expected that those money-hungry bastards would actually be so cowardly, even though they had clearly agreed to fight the old lady to the end.

At this time, Madam Yin looked at him again: "I just gave you a chance. Since you are unwilling to cherish it, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

She solemnly instructed Fang Qingshan, "The house he lives in now was built by my husband. Back then, we never charged him rent because we were brothers. Now, you send the deed to the government and say someone has taken over our property!"

The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "We didn't seize it. It was the old man who agreed to let us live here. He also said that we can live in that house as long as we want!"

Madam Yin raised an eyebrow in mockery. "When did the old master say that? How come I didn't know? Also, why is the deed still in my hands? It's useless for you to say this now. The government only recognizes the owner of the deed!"

The old man was so angry that he felt dizzy and almost fell headfirst to the ground.

His son immediately reached out to support him and urged, "Father, what are you still trying to do? Do you have to wait for the government to come and clear out your house before you're satisfied? Why don't you just stop while you're ahead? Take the five hundred taels of silver and leave."

The old man subconsciously looked at Madam Yin, only to see her say in a deep voice, "I keep my word. Those who leave voluntarily will receive severance pay. People like your father, not only will they not receive any compensation, they will even have to pay back the rent they owed us for all these years!"

The old man's son was trembling all over. He fell to his knees and said, "Grandfather, my father is confused. Please don't argue with him. We know we are wrong. Please have mercy and forgive us."

He kowtowed emphatically, not daring to be perfunctory at all.

Even though his head was bruised, he didn't dare to stop until he heard the words from Old Lady Yin.

The old man felt sorry for his son, but he didn't dare to go forward to help him.

He could only kneel on the ground and slapped himself hard in the face. "I was selfish and greedy. I was wrong. I won't do it again. Old Madam, considering our family is so pitiful, can you please not pursue this further?"

In a short while, his face was swollen from being beaten.

Madam Yin then said, "Alright, stop now. Since you've apologized sincerely, I won't pursue this matter any further. I'll give you one day to move out of that house as soon as possible!"

No matter how unwilling the old man was, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

When he returned home, he heard his son complaining, "It's all your fault. You had to drag it out until the very end. Now look what's happened. Not only did you not get the severance pay of five hundred taels of silver, but you can't even keep your own yard!"

The old man gritted his teeth and retorted, "How could I have known she would be so cruel? Now that she has the support of people in the capital, she is even more disregarding of us, her people!"

His son interrupted impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and pack your things quickly. If you delay any longer, I'll have to ask you for rent!"

The old man frowned and could only resign himself to his fate and pack up his things.

However, when his eyes fell on his daughter, they immediately lit up.

He said anxiously: "I have thought of a good way to save the house!"

His son asked curiously, "What are you crazy about?"

The old man lowered his voice and said, "Isn't your sister still engaged? Our Yi Huan is not bad looking. She can become a concubine for the young general of the dynasty, right?"

His son hesitated and said, "You mean to let Yi Huan seduce that General Fang?"

The old man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the eldest lady is pregnant. At this time, her body is not in good condition. General Fang is young and strong. I don't believe he can resist the temptation of our Yi Huan!"

His son thought this method was feasible and immediately went forward to seek Yin Yihuan's opinion.

She quickly refused: "No, I dare not seduce the young lady's man. Didn't you see what happened to Yin Mingyue? Why would I jump into the fire pit?"

The old man angrily scolded, "You idiot! How can you be the same as Yin Mingyue? She has lofty ambitions and wants to ascend to the heights of a phoenix. You are just a concubine of a young general. It must be easy!"

Yin Yihuan still shook his head: "Then I wouldn't dare. Although that young lady looks weak and fragile, the Marquis's wife is not someone you want to mess with. I haven't lived enough, so why would I get close to them for no reason?"

"You!" The old man raised his hand in hatred and was about to slap her.

The old man's son immediately stopped him: "Father, don't be impulsive. You can't hit my sister's face. Otherwise, how can she seduce men?"

The old man said angrily: "Didn't you hear that she refused to go? What a useless wimp!"

His son said cunningly, "If you ask her to seduce a man, she will naturally not agree. But what if you ask her to deliver some snacks to the old lady? She will definitely meet General Fang then!"

The old man was puzzled: "Even if they meet, what can we do? If she doesn't want to take the initiative, nothing will happen!"

His son whispered something in his ear, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He urged urgently: "Hurry up and tell your sister to go to the old house and send some snacks to the old lady!"

At this time, everyone didn't know that someone had set their sights on Fang Qingshan. They were discussing in the study when to go into the mountains to unlock the forbidden wealth.

Old Madam Yin said worriedly, "When I was at the Buddhist temple, I heard Yin Mingyue say something. She mentioned that the bandits from Taiyin Mountain coveted the wealth of the forbidden land!"

Fang Qingshan was stunned: "Isn't Taiyin Mountain very close to Shicheng?"

Madam Yin nodded: "Yes, if they get the news, I'm afraid they will come to fight for it, and then there will be a fierce battle!"

Zhan Yan also understood this principle. He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Lin Yiwan held the Tongxin pendant in her hand and said, "I didn't expect that these forbidden treasures would become such a hot potato. If I had known earlier, I should have brought more people with me!"

Madam Yin sighed helplessly, "Yes, such wealth would be a disaster if it fell into the hands of anyone. If it weren't for the extremely powerful traps set up outside the forbidden area, it would have been smuggled away long ago!"

Zhan Yan was silent for a moment before he frowned and said, "First, spread false information to lure those bandits into a trap and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Fang Qingshan immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll send people out to spread the word, and we'll go to the forbidden area the day after tomorrow to unlock that enormous fortune!"

He hurried out, and just as he got outside, he ran into a woman coming towards him with a food box.

He subconsciously tried to avoid it, but the maid beside the woman bumped into her, causing her to fall towards Fang Qingshan immediately.
