Ling Zhang looked down at Ling Maomao, and Ling Maomao looked up at him. The two brothers stared at each other.

Ling Maomao's mouth tightened as he looked at Ling Zhang in anticipation, "Big Brother — —"

Ling Zhang lowered his head to look at Ling Maomao, and Ling Maomao then hugged onto Ling Zhang's thigh, "Big brother, I want to follow you, take me with you."

Ling Zhang sighed in his heart, he did not have the heart to reject Ling Maomao, and could only change the topic, "I am here to help Mao Mao with his lessons. Before I leave, I will go to the Academy to discuss it with Sir."

Fu Caiwei looked at Ling Zhang, and then looked at Ling Maomao who was eagerly looking at her, and said to Ling Zhang: "You are too lenient towards him, and have been completely devoured by him."

Ling Zhang laughed, he only had Ling Maomao as his only younger brother, "Don't worry, Second Aunt will follow me to the manor. Every morning, I will ask him to follow me to train, and also urge him to finish his homework."

Fu Caiwei's eyes slightly lit up, she looked down at his son who still had an eager look on his face, and said heartlessly: "Fine, then let him go along. Remember, you must make him train with you every morning."

"Alright." Ling Zhang agreed.

Ling Maomao still did not know what was waiting for him in the next few days.

The two brothers finished packing up. Two carriages, two servants, the manager, Wang Qing, the twelve guards, and the big dog A Da, the group of people left the Ling Family.

He first went to the Academy to ask for a leave of absence from Mister and discussed about Ling Maomao's homework in the next few days. Then, he headed south of the city.

The medicinal field on the south side of the mountain was half a day's journey away from the Tan Yang City.

On the way, Wang Qing explained to Ling Zhang the latest situation in the medicinal field.

"The new batch of medicinal ingredients received has already been reserved for sale, and is also the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop who has always been cooperating with us, the medicinal field. In these two years, the Chiang Ji has opened a shop in the capital, and this time, the medicinal ingredients are all being collected by his family. This is the order sent over from the other side, Eldest Young Master, please take a look. "

Ling Zhang took the ingredients and looked at them. After he roughly understood the price and the amount that was needed, he had a rough idea.

"When will the people from the Chiang Ji be here?" Ling Zhang asked.

"Tomorrow morning, medicinal field has already prepared all these medicinal ingredients. When Eldest Young Master arrives, it will be just in time to inspect them." Wang Qing replied.

Ling Zhang nodded, "Who are those people from Chiang Ji?"

"It's the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop of the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop. I heard that he was also responsible for transporting them to the capital this time." Wang Qing replied and explained in detail about the Chief Manager's situation, "Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop is a distant cousin of the Jiang Family, she is related to the Jiang Family. She has been in charge of the business here for two years, around forty years old. Other than our family's medicinal field, they also cooperate with Lu Family and the medicinal field of the Liao family. "

Lu Family and Liao Family were also relatively close to Ling Family, especially to him.

When he talked about Lu Family, Ling Zhang couldn't help but think about the tragic annihilation of his family in his previous life and his gaze also became cold.

In this lifetime, Lu Family could never again be annihilated, and he absolutely could not be falsely accused either.

"Show me the books." Ling Zhang restrained the emotions in his eyes and said to Wang Qing.

Wang Qing then quickly passed the medicinal field's account book to Ling Zhang, and told him a few important points. After Ling Zhang noted it down, there were no longer any obstructions when he looked at the account book.

In a short moment, only Ling Zhang's voice remained in the carriage as he flipped through the books. Wang Qing quietly waited for Ling Zhang's question, but did not say anything much. As the manager of the Ling Family, being able to take responsibility for such an important business transaction with the medicinal field, Wang Qing was very trusted by Ling Zhaowen, and could also be said to be a capable assistant that Ling Zhaowen had single-handedly promoted. He was already over thirty years old, and there were many small and old people in his family.

As a result, Wang Qing could be considered to have watched Ling Zhang grow up, and during this period of time, Wang Qing had also felt the changes in his body. It was very clear that many of the recent changes in the manor were all personally presided over by Ling Zhang, and every single change was clearly seen by Wang Qing.

The sharpness on the Eldest Young Master's body was exposed, and he even had the determination to kill. He was definitely not someone that they could ignore.

Before he left, Ling Zhaowen had specially instructed him to wholeheartedly assist Ling Zhang in handling matters in the medicinal field, so Wang Qing knew what role he had to assume this time.

More... Wang Qing looked at the twelve guards outside and had some doubts in his heart. He did not know why Ling Zhang wanted the twelve guards to follow him.

However, he did not care, as his position in the Palace had changed greatly. The matter of the two corpses covered in white cloth being carried out had not only frightened the people in his courtyard, but also the people in the residence who had been dismissed frequently. All these people who relied on the Ling Family for a living now understood one thing, that he, Ling Zhang, had control over their life and death just by thinking about it.

Anyone who was sensible would know what to do and what not to do.

The thick accounting books could not be finished in a short period of time. Other than the accounting books, he had to personally go to the medicinal field to check them.

Other than the matter with the medicinal field, he had also brought twelve guards with him because he wanted to use the more remote areas of the medicinal field to test the might of the Twelve Confinement Arrays.

It was just that before Xia Feng finished checking the backgrounds of these twelve people, he would not tell these people about the Twelve Confinement Arrays. Instead, he would let them try their luck and wait for Xia Feng to send a letter back to confirm that there were no problems before he could further train them.

Because of this, Ling Zhang practically did not sleep much last night, and all he could think of was how to cooperate with these twelve people.

"Big brother." Ling Maomao's voice pulled Ling Zhang back from his deep thoughts. Looking at Mao Mao who had just woken up from his drowsy state, he said, "I'm awake."

"How much longer do we have?" At first, Ling Maomao was quite happy when he got on the carriage, but later he fell asleep out of boredom.

"It's almost done. We still have an hour to go." Ling Zhang opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside, replying.

"Oh." Ling Maomao lied on the window, looking at the scenery outside, he asked. "Big Brother, where is A Da?"

"He's following us. He can't stay in the carriage." Ling Zhang said.

Ling Maomao just happened to see A Da running happily behind the horse carriage, "A Da, quickly get on, don't run anymore!"

"You don't hate him for biting your wooden monkey?" Ling Zhang asked.

Ling Maomao said: "My master has a lot, I have forgiven him."

Wang Qing laughed.

Ling Zhang looked at him and said: "I'll have to trouble Manager Wang to tell him to find a place to rest."

Wang Qing accepted, opened the thick curtain of the carriage and went out to instruct.

"Mao Mao, get out of the car and go take a look." Ling Zhang said.

Ling Maomao snickered, and was not surprised that his big brother knew he was going to show mercy now.

After the horse carriage stopped somewhere, Ling Maomao jumped down to find a place to hiss. Ling Zhang also alighted from the horse carriage and walked away, loosening his muscles and bones.

This place was not far from the State Guard's encampment. After walking through the forest, the shadows of the encampment tents could be seen from afar.

The size of the Tan Yang State Guard's encampment was already very large, but Zhang Chong actually wanted to circle around and circle around it again. Enlarging the encampment also meant that the State Guard's forces would be replenished. Every province's State Guard's forces were strictly regulated, but Tan Yang would break this rule again and again because of the bandit situation, so to what extent would the expansion go to?

This wasn't just a question of seizing his medicinal field. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Zhang Chong could even rebel if he wanted to.

Aren't the people in the court going to stop him?

Ling Zhang frowned, sizing up the direction of the State Guard's encampment with a cold and slightly disgusted look in his eyes.

In his previous life, he might not have been able to understand it, but after the matter of the Lu Family s being exterminated, no matter how foolish he was, he could tell that there was something abnormal behind the Tan Yang's calamity.

The Lu Family was annihilated, and then the Ling Family was framed. Zhang Chong was not in a hurry to exterminate the bandits, he was actually in a hurry to frame their family, it was obvious that the Lu Family was annihilated, and it was all part of Zhang Chong's plan.

What did this mean? Thinking about it, it was definitely a terrifying thing.

Because he could vaguely see the shadows of the State Guard's encampment, when he returned to the carriage and continued moving forward, Ling Zhang had always opened the curtains and looked in that direction, whether intentionally or unintentionally. He calculated how far he had walked from seeing the shadow to not being able to see it, and roughly estimated the range of the State Guard's encampment.

Ever since the State Guard was stationed there, that area had been completely forbidden for ordinary people. After so many years had passed, it had expanded by many times, no one knew how many times larger it was.

"Big Brother, what are you looking at?" Ling Maomao was very smart and quickly realized what Ling Zhang was looking at and went over to look outside the window.

Considering that Wang Qing was still on the carriage, Ling Zhang stealthily closed the curtains, "It's been a long time since I've been here. I need to recall the scenery along the way, recognize the road, and you should take a look as well."

Ling Maomao and Wang Qing did not suspect anything, and Ling Maomao continued to stare at them in high spirits for a while.

An hour later, the medicinal field was right in front of him.

It was a vast plain basin, and half of the Ling Family's territory was encircled by the Ling Family.

There were a few medicinal field s scattered around, and there were even fields planted by ordinary medicine farmers.

"We're here. Don't wander around when we reach the manor. We'll take a look when Big Bro is done." Ling Zhang warned Ling Maomao.

"Got it." Ling Maomao leaned out of the window and looked at the small plains outside. This was actually the first time he had come to medicinal field and he cheered happily.

Just as Ling Zhang and the rest reached the medicinal field, a horse galloped in from the North Gate, heading straight for the Ling Family.
