Returning Home in Glory

"Boss, you don't need to worry. Now that you are the Youshan Marquis, we can always go back to Qinghe Town."

Who can do anything to me?

Seeing that Qin Yan had remained silent the whole way, Qin Xiaoyi couldn't help but speak up to comfort him.

"Ha ha...!"

Qin Yan smiled happily, "Don't worry, I'll be laughing in my dreams if I can go back."

Everyone was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

What do you mean by that?

Ba Wei asked in confusion, "Being granted Capital and then being driven out of the capital doesn't seem like a happy thing at all."

"The accusations leveled against me by the Censorate were information I deliberately leaked."

Qin Yan said calmly.

"What?"

Everyone turned to look.

"I have already been granted the title of Youshan Marquis by His Majesty, and my affairs are not exactly a secret."

Anyone who wants to find it can find it.

I'm afraid even our Emperor knows about this."

Qin Yan said, "This kind of thing will definitely become a handle for him to attack me."

Rather than waiting for someone to cause trouble later, I might as well just bring this up now!

And His Majesty is unlikely to punish me severely!

Rather than let me be attacked by others in Capital.

Returning to my hometown or being transferred elsewhere would be the best options.

Besides, staying in Capital wouldn't mean much to me.

"So you had this all planned out all along."

Upon hearing this, Ba Wei suddenly realized why the matter seemed so strange.

Little did I know that it had all been part of their plan all along.

Qin Xiaoyi and the others didn't seem to care much.

"That's great! Now that we're back in Youshan Prefecture, nobody can bother us."

Everyone was very happy.

After all, Qin Yan is the Youshan Marquis, and he can easily build a huge power after returning.

In addition, each of them was someone who had followed Qin Yan into battle and earned merit.

Their status and position are quite high.

Who in Youshan Prefecture could possibly do anything to them?

Qin Yan was naturally relaxed and at ease at this moment. Although the Capital was nice, it was a cage.

It made him feel restricted.

But once he returned to his own territory, he became the local tyrant, with countless things to do.

Keep in mind that he possesses over 80 million taels of silver, along with numerous martial arts manuals, secret techniques, and rare and precious materials.

Now he has both power and status.

No one could stop him.

Despite the great victory in suppressing the rebellion, it also nearly exhausted the last bit of strength of the Great Li Dynasty.

The two states were reduced to scorched earth.

It would require a huge investment to rebuild, but given the greed of those officials in the court!

They'll probably squeeze every last drop of oil out of the plant.

The remnants of the Taiping Army fled to various places, which will inevitably cause more unrest.

Especially recently, he has keenly noticed that banditry in various places is increasing at an extremely rapid pace.

The powerful and influential families in the world have already exploited ordinary people to the extreme.

If they don't resist, they truly have no chance of survival.

February!

Qin Yan returned to Youshan Prefecture.

The newly appointed prefect, Li Muyun, was welcomed by officials from various regions.

Many of them were acquaintances from the past, Qin Yan naturally responded with a smile!

Don't be fooled by the fact that Qin Yan was driven out of the Capital.

But anyone could see that Hongjia Emperor was hesitant and protecting Qin Yan!

It awaits its future reactivation.

This was a man who earned his title through military merit, and there were far too many people eager to curry favor with him.

Qin Yan is the most legendary figure in the entire Youshan Prefecture.

In just two years, he rose from a commoner to a marquis of the current dynasty!

Jiang Fuji, standing in the crowd, had a rather complicated expression. The boy he once knew had grown into someone he could only look up to.

Even his most senior uncle in the Lineage was inferior to Qin Yan in terms of status.

At this moment, he also felt somewhat annoyed.

If I had been able to snag this wealthy husband back then, we might not have become father-in-law and son-in-law, and we might not have been able to maintain a good relationship.

This is also of great benefit to the entire Jiang Family.

Qin Yan naturally sensed Jiang Fuji's gaze, smiled faintly and nodded, which was considered a greeting.

"Marquis Qin, what brings you to my Demon-Suppressing Bureau!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Yan and couldn't help but tease him!

"Commandant Zhao, I am, after all, Demon-Suppressing Bureau Patrol Envoy. What, are you disowning me?"

Qin Yan smiled.

"Haha!" Zhao Zhen laughed heartily, patting his friend's shoulder with delight. "Tsk tsk, Youshan Marquis, you've accomplished something I never dared to dream of in my entire life."

Haha, Youshan Marquis was once my subordinate, so Old Zhao has more confidence to brag now."

Seeing that Qin Yan hadn't forgotten his roots, Zhao Zhen was filled with emotion.

"Don't be discouraged, kid. Capital is a place that eats people up without spitting out the bones."

"Let's be more careful from now on. Let's stay quiet for a few years before going back and giving those who offended you a good beating."

Zhao Zhen was very concerned about Qin Yan, afraid that the boy would be discouraged.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan was deeply moved.

"Thank you for your concern, Commandant Zhao. If you don't mind, I'll call you Brother Zhao from now on, how about that?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Alright, from now on we're brothers. Don't hesitate to ask if you ever need my help."

Zhao Zhen was extremely excited at this moment.

For the Youshan Marquis to call him "brother" would be a great honor.

We stayed for two days!

Qin Yan set off again, this time with a touch of excitement in his heart.

Returning home in glory!

It has reached a height that countless people may never achieve in their lifetime.

Youshan Marquis!

The people of Qinghe Town were thrilled to hear that such an important figure was coming back.

Especially those who had been on good terms with Qin Yan.

Everyone felt it was a dreamlike experience; how long has it been?

He became a top noble in the entire Great Li Dynasty, and with a stomp of his foot, the entire Youshan Prefecture would tremble.

"That guy's coming back."

If we're talking about who's the most frustrated, it's definitely Magistrate Wen Qinsi!

He originally thought he could control everything here, but he found that a huge mountain stood in front of him.

Let alone shaking him.

He couldn't even afford to offend Zong Xiaoshan, one of the other party's subordinates.

Compared to the fear Qin Yan instilled in him!

Zong Xiaoshan instilled absolute fear in him.

This guy's strength is truly monstrous; he almost killed the Xiantian master next to him.

He's really daring to take action.

Life in Qinghe Town was filled with anxiety, especially as Qin Yan rose through the ranks.

He was terrified.

Qin Yan is someone who can rival the powerful figures behind him.

He was such a minor figure that no one would care even if he died.

Whenever Wen Qinsi thinks about being transferred to Qinghe Town, he feels an urge to bang his head against a wall.

I didn't make any money and didn't get anything.

Now Qin Yan, this great Buddha, is back.

If you offend this person, they won't be happy either; you could crush them to death with a single finger.

He no longer seeks to make money.

I just hope I can get through these three years!

"Who could have imagined that that boy would reach such heights in just one or two years?"

Wen Qinsi sighed.

The butler standing to the side didn't dare to utter a sound.

Back then, there were only two Innate Martial Artists in the entire Qinghe County: him and Zong Xiaoshan.

He got a really bad beating from that guy!

What's even more deadly is that there's a terrifyingly powerful and mysterious figure behind the other side.

Even if you get beaten up, you can only swallow your pride and suffer in silence.
