. The texture seemed to be the same as his own half. Ye Fan took down his own half, and when they were placed together, the broken edges fit perfectly.They were always a pair.But, that piece belonged...But what he didn't expect was that his grandfather brought him to the back garden. There were two small cages in the garden, and inside each cage were two very ferocious wild chickens.

When Yan Wuque saw his father bring him here, he was even more confused. Could Grandpa be bringing him to watch cockfighting But it's late at night...

And, I've never heard Grandpa mention this hobby before!

"Wu Que, look at this," Yan Xiaoti pointed at the cage.

Yan Wuque only felt a numbness on his scalp. This was inexplicable, wasn't it However, he still gritted his teeth and replied: "This is a French-Irish purebred fighting cock."

Yan Wuque knew that these two wild chickens were a gift from his grandfather's friend, said to have been brought back from France. They were natural wild animals and quite valuable. However, his grandfather had never let them fight before. Now, bringing them here, could there be some deeper meaning Yan Wuque was puzzled.

"Well, but do you know how these three fighting roosters were caught"

"This... I don't know." Yan Wu Que could only feign innocence. It was just two wild chickens brought by the servants, he never cared about them. But his grandfather seemed to value them greatly, making a bigger deal out of it than necessary.

"This kind of chicken has a very strong ability to survive in the wild, and they have long legs. They are natural wild animals, and it's not easy to catch them. It's because they are born with a kind of combative flexibility. When two males meet, they usually fight until one wins before leaving. Otherwise, even if there is danger like a predator, they will ignore it completely. Do you understand what I mean" Yan Xiaoti looked at Yan Wuque, his face full of expectation.

Yan Wuque felt a tightness in his scalp, an unease throughout his body. "Grandfather, grandfather, what are you thinking Why can I never see through you"

In the middle of the night, you came to watch this cockfight and said some nonsensical things that made a mess. What is your real intention

But Yan Wuque knew that his grandfather wouldn't have spoken to him like this for no reason. He tried hard to remember what his grandfather had just asked him...

Suddenly, Yan Wuque excitedly said, "Grandpa, I understand! You mean these two chickens were fighting each other, so they were caught by people and ultimately ended up in Guan Huang's hands"

Yan Xiaoti expressed his satisfaction with a nod, "Exactly! It's like this: these animals are usually hard to catch. But once they start fighting among themselves, it becomes incredibly easy for us to capture one."

"That's right! Grandpa said we have to wait, wait until the Ye family has an internal struggle, and then we will make a move and put both of them into the cage!" Yan Wuque thought to himself, his grandfather is still one step ahead.

Yan Xiaoti smiled without speaking, then suddenly pointed out, "Perhaps you can start with the Yang family to speed up this conflict between the two fighting roosters."

After finishing his talk about filial piety and respect for elders, Yan Xiaoti turned and left.

Yan Wuque pondered over his grandfather's words silently. His grandfather must have already thought of a way to deal with the Ye family, but he just hadn't revealed it yet.

Yan Wuque knew this was Grandfather's intentional test, allowing him to make the correct decision.

The Yang family is also a family that leads behind the Yan family, although they don't have the power of the Sun and Xia families. However, the Yang family is still a force to be reckoned with in Beijing today. Moreover, the Sun and Xia families are now defunct, and the Yan family needs another family to do their bidding.

The Yang family, are a good choice. Moreover, Yang Li-ping, daughter of the Yang family, married Ye family's second son as his wife, and their son, Ye Qingda, is also one of the heirs to the Ye family. Yan Wuque also saw through the situation, and the situation suddenly became clear. A smile appeared in his mouth, a targeted plan had already formed in his mind...

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Ye Fan was awakened by the noise in the house. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the people in the room, packed tightly together. What are these people doing!

Yesterday, Ye Keqing paid her respects to Ye Wuming at the spirit hall. According to regulations, when someone from Yanjing dies, they are cremated. However, Master Ye Wuming held a high position in the empire, and the crematorium staff agreed to delay his cremation by one day.

They were keeping vigil for Old Master Ye, a small gesture of respect from their younger generation to the elder.

But to my surprise, just as I had woken up, I saw that people from the crematorium had arrived and were shouting about taking the body away.

After Ye Fan learned the situation, his brows furrowed. According to the Ye family's clan rules, the vigil must last until noon on the second day before the deceased could be sent out for burial, whether by interment or cremation. This has been a tradition passed down for centuries.

If it's before twelve o'clock, it's considered inauspicious. It is said that the deceased will leave unpeacefully and bring disaster to the family.

The crematorium workers came to collect the body, but the Ye family refused to hand it over. The two sides argued, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Ye Fan called over a funeral home worker and said, “Didn't we already make arrangements with your foreman yesterday We’ll send the person later. It’s only 7:00 am now, you should be starting work too, right”

That man was a fat, round fellow who looked like a butcher. He sneered at Ye Fan and said contemptuously, "It doesn't matter to us whether you work or not, we're definitely going to take you. According to national regulations, no one is exempt!"

Ye Fan's face darkened. This butcher wasn't here to take someone, he was here for recommendations!

Ye Fan touched his chin and suddenly said, "Who sent you here"

The man who killed the pig was obviously taken aback, sounding a little guilty as he said: "What Who called me Do you think you can escape the country's laws Do you need someone to teach us how to do it We're just enforcing the law..."

The man who slaughters pigs is named Zhang Yixiang, just as his name suggests, he is very domineering and helpful to others. He is the eldest brother of their Yan Zang Field. Today, he came with the determination to win at all costs.

Ye Fan suddenly laughed and said, holding up his phone: "We just talked to your captain yesterday, and we've been granted the privilege of being cremated a day later. Do you want to give your captain a call"

Zhang Yixing was stunned when he heard this. He saw that Ye Fan had a point, and it was really difficult to deal with. Originally, he was in the right today. If what this Ye Fan said was true, how dare he make this phone call

He was just a spark in the crematorium, his word was law when it came to cremation, but compared to the manager, he was nothing!

He came here today because last night someone came to him, gave him some money, and told him to be sure to come to the Ye family before seven o'clock this morning to take people back to cremate.

The butcher was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "It's just bringing back one dead person. He had done this before and even encountered stubborn ones who refused to let him go."

And so, these cremated ones all developed the habit of violent law enforcement. They had a group of men under them, each one powerful and strong, big and burly. It seemed that taking away a corpse would be no difficult task for them.

Then Sha Ge male readily agreed. couldn't find a suitable candidate. And the things that happened these two days were too much for him, so he really didn't have time to deal with it right now. Now that he and Bai Fengqing had settl...
