"Get out!"

Ximen Qing waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, what the young master said is, that villain is going now!"

The servant nodded and left.

...

Soon, the servants of the Ximen family came to Wang Yuanwai's house with great fanfare.

Outside the door, there were more than a dozen servants standing, carrying loads, and inside were gifts.

The servant in the lead had a sharp-mouthed and monkey cheek, who was nodding and bowing in front of Ximen Qing before, but was arrogant and proud at this time.

Several servants behind him were holding sticks in their hands, looking fierce.

First, they knocked on the door and delivered a prayer note. After explaining their purpose, they waited outside the door.

"Brother Third, we are just waiting like that? Do you want to call us?"

At this time, a servant came to the leader and asked in a low voice.

"Stop silly. If you ruin the big matter of the young master, I will strip you of your skin!"

The servant named San Ge glared at him and said viciously.

"Yes, yes, what the third brother said!"

The man ate a turtle, swallowed his saliva, and replied embarrassedly.

"Ahem, we will act according to the opportunity later. If that outsider dares to disrupt the situation, let's take action together and beat him to death!"

The servant named San Ge nodded with satisfaction, looked around at the people behind him, and ordered.

"Okay, let's listen to the third brother!"

The others nodded to indicate that they followed his instructions.

....

Wang's backyard.

"Master, something is wrong!"

The servant outside the door received the prayer from the Ximen family and ran in panic.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Wang Yuanwai, who was drinking tea, frowned and questioned.

Compared with the beautiful daughter of the Wang family, Mr. Wang is fat and big-eared, and is less than six feet tall.

Valley welding

It is hard for outsiders to believe that the two of them will actually be a father-daughter relationship.

Of course, if you saw Mrs. Wang, who is also as beautiful as a flower, you wouldn't say that.

At this time, the Wang family had just finished lunch and sat in the living room to drink tea.

When Wang Yuanwai saw the servant walking in in a panic, he immediately felt very unhappy.

"Report to the master, the young master of the Ximen family sent someone to propose marriage to the lady!"

The servant hurriedly walked forward, handed the bowing post in his hand, and said.

"ah?"

Miss Wang's face suddenly turned pale with anxiety, and tears fell down.

Even though she was in the boudoir, she had heard of Ximen Qing's name.

When he heard this person coming to propose marriage, he was immediately scared to death.

"Dad, what should we do?"

Seeing this, Wang Jian, the young master of the Wang family, frowned and lowered his teacup and asked.

"Don't be impatient first, I'll take a look!"

When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he comforted him and opened the post to read it.

The content inside is nothing more than admiring the Wang family’s daughter for 28 years. Ximen Qing and the Wang family are equivalent to each other, and they are born with a pair of people in the area.

"Don't be afraid of Mei'er, my mother won't agree!"

Mrs. Wang, who was beside her, took her daughter's hand and comforted her quietly.

"Master, you have to think of a way!"

Mrs. Wang comforted her daughter and said anxiously to Wang Yuanwai.

"How is this good? Master Ximen is proficient in eating, drinking, gamble and gambling. If Mei'er marrys him, can she have a good life? What should I do?"

As he spoke, Mrs. Wang shed tears.

At this time, Li Fen, who was sitting beside him, asked, "Mr. Wang, is that Mr. Ximen Ximen Qing?"

Although the Wang family is rich, there are not many rules.

Moreover, Wang Yuanwai did not regard Li Feng as an outsider.

Therefore, even if you eat and have a meal, you will still call Li Fen and join us.

Before, Li Fen hadn't interrupted, after all, he was an outsider.

However, seeing that the whole family was a little confused, he became curious.

If Wang Yuanwai disagrees with this marriage, he can just refuse it.

Speaking of which, although Ximen Qing has a bad reputation, the status of the Ximen family is similar to that of the Wang family.

It is said that it is Xiang Kun, but it is just a polite proposition. At most, it is considered a rich man in the countryside.

Besides, the young master of the Wang family is a scholar.

Could it be that Ximen Qing dares to come to the house to grab the marriage?

"Yes, it's that thief!"

Wang Jian nodded.

"The other party is just a country bully, is it worth your fear like this?"

Li Fen still couldn't figure it out and asked curiously.

"What do you know? The Ximen family colluded with the county magistrate. If you want to deal with my Wang family, don't be too simple!"

Wang Jian frowned and said, "You have never heard of the county magistrate who destroyed the family and the prefect who destroyed the family?"

"Oh? The magistrate of Qinghe County dared to attack the Wang family? I don't believe it!"

Li Min shook his head and said when he heard this.

Of course he had heard of the other party's words.

"The county magistrate who destroys the family, the prefect who destroys the family" means that the county and the chief of the state has the power to kill and kill, which can destroy others.

In ancient China, the people were not afraid of the emperor or the prime minister, the three dukes and nine ministers, and the six ministers had nothing to do with them.

It doesn't matter who becomes an emperor, because they do not belong to grassroots managers.

The people at the bottom are most afraid of the local prefect, magistrate, county magistrate, security chief, and even the official, the outsider of the official, and the great charity.

These people are the real husbands and masters in the local area who decide whether to make life or death.

They are just the words of gold and jade. If they want to destroy their doors, they will destroy their doors, and if they want to destroy their homes, they will destroy their homes.

It doesn't matter whether the central government is the Tang Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter whether the emperor is Yao and Shun, Tang and Wu, Jie and Zhou Dynasty, it doesn't matter whether the prime minister is Zhou Gong or Qin Hui.

The most important thing is, who is at the grassroots level?

Who are the husbands and men who are closely related to the villagers?

In ancient times, the territory was vast and communication was entirely driven by manpower, which was inefficient.

Even if the appointment order is issued and local officials are arranged, they may have to run from the central government to the local government for half a month.

When the person really arrives, it may not be that person;

Even that person may not be able to implement the above policies.

Therefore, the central court mainly controls the general direction and cannot control all the details of every place in every detail.

Therefore, although China has been known as a centralized country for thousands of years, it cannot truly do so with the local government.

Under the great wave of the times, there is still a powerful force to compete with the central court, confront and compromise. This is the local gentry.

They are "local geniuses" and "landlords", and can also be called "hungong".

Don’t underestimate these people. These people are either rich landlords, scholars with fame, or clan leaders of large local families for generations.

In the local area, they have connections, resources and strength. Hundreds and thousands of people with the same village and surname are all listened to him and formed a community of interests. They cannot penetrate the needle and cannot pour water into it.
