Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 315: Chapter 305 Memorials to the Imperial City

Yang Zhenshan’s gaze fixed on Zhang Maosheng, stroking his beard, then he said to Song Dashan, “Let the brothers withdraw. Seal off the Zhang family, forbid anyone from the Zhang family from going out. As for the internal affairs of the Zhang family, there’s no need to investigate for now!”

Upon hearing this, Song Dashan had yet to react, but Zhang Maosheng suddenly lifted his head, looking at Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan smiled and said, “Investigation is not under this general’s authority. This general is only responsible for blockading everything related to the Salt Transport Department!”

The Zhang family’s behavior was beyond his expectation, but it also made him realize that the Zhang family was not just a simple group of wealthy merchants.

A family with a long inheritance must have their ways of survival.

Just like the Changping Marquis Mansion and the Zhang family right in front of him.

Over three hundred years span not just a few generations, but more like a dozen generations. To not have declined after all these generations, there must be sound reasons.

Yang Zhenshan was not entirely clear about the depths of the Zhang family’s roots, but he understood that the Zhang family would neither flee nor resist.

Because once they resist, that would be equivalent to cornering themselves, and in the end, they would have only one dark path to follow.

Since the Zhang family would neither resist nor flee, Yang Zhenshan saw no need to imprison them. It was sufficient to confine them.

Confinement surely is better than imprisonment, right?

“Thank you, General, thank you so much!” Zhang Maosheng kept thanking profusely.

Yang Zhenshan looked at him, “No need for thanks. I hope your Zhang family doesn’t do anything to make this general embarrassed. Otherwise, you should understand the consequences!”

“Yes, General, rest assured. My Zhang family will stay at home honestly and wait for the court’s investigation,” Zhang Maosheng assured sensibly.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, then glanced at the gleaming silver ingots in front of the hall and turned to leave the Zhang residence.

At the same time, Song Dashan also led the soldiers to withdraw from the Zhang family.
