Chapter 359: The Cornerstone of the Country, How Can Soldiers Be Insulted (3)
Hu had been there for more than a month, and Wang Kai's father was worried, so he went to Lucheng alone to check in Yang Guang's mansion.
However, Wang's father was told by Yang Guang's house that his wife, Hu, had left the Yang Mansion half a month ago and had returned.
This scared the prince's father and quickly turned around to inquire about Hu's whereabouts. He thought Hu had encountered something unexpected on his way home.
After inquiring from many sources, the Wang father was disheartened and had to return to Jiacun to take care of the elderly and young people in the family.
A villager in Jia Village who often goes to Lucheng to sell mountain goods could not bear it and told Wang's father about Yang Guang's fault. It turned out that Hu was not the only one who caught the story. In this Lucheng, several beautiful women had already entered the Yang Mansion and had no news. From then on, they never saw anyone or the corpse was dead.
And Yang Guang would also be a human being, and he sent money to those families, saying that their wives were gone. This money was a little compensation and intention of Yang Guang.
During this period, the Yang Mansion housekeeper would make intentional or unintentional suggestions, asking these families not to make trouble or make a statement. The people who have been used to suffering all their lives would not dare to go against the government. Even if they heard the implicit voice of the Yang Mansion housekeeper, they would not dare to offend others, and they would not end up leaving it alone.
The Wang father didn't believe it at first, but the next day, the Yang Mansion butler really came to his house and offered a thousand guan of money as compensation. During the conversation, he also deliberately or unintentionally reminded the Wang father not to make trouble and not to make a statement, just as if this matter had never happened.
The prince's father could not bear this anger. He threatened to go to the Yang Mansion to pick up his wife. After rejecting Butler Yang's money, he drove him out.
But he didn't expect that this butler Yang was also a stingy person. On the third day, he brought a group of yamen runners to the village. When he saw Wang's father, he didn't say anything and beat him up, but beat him all over his body. Before leaving, butler Yang did not forget to tell the villagers who came to watch that Wang's father stole the county lord and Yang Guang's things and now he has to escort back for interrogation.
There are only dozens of families in the village, and every family is in contact with each other, so naturally they don’t want to see such a thing happen. They surrounded Butler Yang and refused to let him take the prince’s father away.
Looking at the angry people in the village, Butler Yang did not dare to have an attack and could only take his people away.
On the fourth day, Butler Yang came this time with a thousand soldiers from the Public Security Army. As soon as the leader came up, he asked the villagers in Jia Village if they had caused trouble yesterday and surrounded Butler Yang.
The honest villagers did not know that this was a plan and admitted it on the spot. Now, the leader directly confiscated one acre of land from each family as a punishment and threatened that if anyone violated it again, all the land would be confiscated.
Seeing that the land was confiscated, the villagers did not dare to cause trouble. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, let alone these poor and destitute people who have just experienced war. They knew that the land was hard-won, so they naturally became extremely rare, so they began to remain silent.
As time goes by, Mr. Wang's prestige in the village becomes lower and lower. Finally, the people who always have psychological imbalances begin to speak out. At first, the Wang family also swallowed their anger, but the Wang family's silence made the villagers even more unscrupulous.
Since they can't afford to offend those officials, letting them talk about the Wang family so that they can vent their dissatisfaction, it becomes a bit "justified".
The Wang family affairs caused the villagers to take the blame for their namelessness. Mr. Wang felt guilty and told the Wang family not to talk back. This is fine. As the saying goes, the Wang father, who is as terrifying as fire, was so angry that he was so angry that he was pissed to death.
Mr. Wang worked in the landlord's house when he was a child. He also read some books with the landlord's children since he was a child. He only had a son, Wang's father, and his teachings were strict. The father had four sons and one daughter, and his eldest son was Wang Kai. Because of his poor family, he was sold to the Ma family as a slave since he was a child. His second son, Wang Xuan, had a personality like Wang's father, and was as anxious as fire. In addition, he had read books for several days with Mr. Wang, and he understood the truth more than others. Since his father was angry to death, he complained everywhere, trying to go to the heaven to listen for several months, and he had no news since then. The eldest daughter, Wang Xiaomei, inherited the appearance of Hu. Although she was not as shameless as a flower, she could be regarded as a jassic figure in the family. After Wang Xuan died of anger, Wang Xuan ran away and complained, he was forced to marry Yang Guang's son, Yang Badao, and became his thirteenth concubine.
Mr. Wang and his two and a half-old children would be the opponent of the Yang family. Naturally, he swallowed his anger and compromised.
And Yang Guang would be a human being. He only targeted the family he persecuted. In the eyes of other people in Lucheng, the tall image of the Master Qingtian.
Even Haozhou and others did not find any clues. As for Ditingying Camp, they visited most ordinary people's homes, and the result was that Yang Guang's political achievements were good. In this case, who would really worry about the "rhythms" of those just 10 or 20 people?
The tragedy that happened to the Wang family was like a drop of water in the vast ocean. It was so small that it stubbornly turned behind it and was flooded by the ruthless sea water.
The parties involved chose to remain silent, and in one way or another, it eventually led to a tragedy.
Wang Kai was deeply influenced by the new education of the Yang family army, so he naturally knew that this was an act of violation of laws and regulations. He said indignantly: "Why don't you report to the official? The prefect of Yanmen Hao Zhou was upright and strict. If Lord Hao knew about this, he would definitely make the decision for my family."
"well……"
At this time, a deep sigh sounded from outside the yard. Everyone looked up and saw Mr. Wang walking in from outside the yard with a pot of old wine and carrying his hands on his back.
Wang Kai quickly got up, walked to Mr. Wang in two steps, and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, why don't you report to the official? Prefect Hao will definitely make the decision for my family!"
Mr. Wang's face was bitter and sighed: "Since ancient times, officials protected each other, how could he really make the decision for my family? Besides, Yang Guang's reputation in Lucheng is not bad. Even if Taishou Hao is willing to plead for the people, there is no evidence!"
Wang Kai was anxious when he heard this and advised anxiously: "Grandpa, my father was angry to death, my mother and second brother are unknown, and the eldest sister was also forced to marry by Yang Guang's son. How different is Yang Guang's behavior from the local tyrant and evil gentry? Our lord has always advocated freedom of people's customs, and the worst thing that happens. If this matter is reported, the lord will definitely uphold justice for us."
After hearing Wang Kai's words, a trace of hope flashed in Mr. Wang's eyes. He took Wang Kai's hand and asked anxiously: "Child, can Yang Piqi really uphold justice for my family? This matter involves the lives of dozens of households in my village. My Wang family died in order to seek justice, but other villagers are innocent. We cannot harm others once and then cause harm for the second time. After all, it is not easy for anyone, and those fields are even harder to get."
Obviously, Mr. Wang has always felt guilty and took the loss of the land of the villagers on himself. He always thought that the Wang family owed the villagers.
Wang Kai looked serious and nodded and replied: "Grandpa Don't worry, I'll go to the county magistrate's office to complain. Prefect Hao will definitely make the decision for us."
At this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly rang outside the yard, "Who am I? I am so arrogant, it turns out that I am still a soldier."
After hearing the sound, everyone looked up and saw a young man in fine clothes standing outside the yard. He was as thin as a pair of triangular eyes and his face was full of gloomy at this time. His appearance reminded people of the word "bad person".
The young man was surrounded by several servants dressed in a family servant, including one or two gangsters who have been idle since childhood in Jiacun.
The Yang family army has a transcendent status in Bingzhou, so most people know their uniforms. Obviously, the young man also recognized Wang Kai's identity.
I saw him walking in from outside the yard with a swaying swaying. The servants beside him also looked arrogant and rude. During this time, he kicked down a bundle of firewood next to the door and said cursingly: "It's really a remote countryside. You can tie up a bundle of firewood. Are you afraid that others will steal it?"
When Wang Gui and Wang Lai saw the person, they were so scared that they hid behind Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang also had a heavy face.
After seeing this, Wang Kai quickly flashed out, protected Mr. Wang and the other two behind him, and shouted at the young man: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into a private house? Do you still have the king's laws in your eyes?"
Zhang San and Li Niu also walked quickly to Wang Kai. During this period, they did not forget to snatch the axe and hatchet from Wang Gui and brothers Wang Lai and confronted the group of people.
When the young man in Jinyi saw Zhang San and Li Niu's actions, he immediately said disdainfully: "There are not many people who dare to dance with swords and guns in front of me."
Wang Kai frowned. Seeing that these people were so fearless, and with the reactions of Mr. Wang and others, he also guessed the identity of the young man in brocade clothes in his heart. He shouted: "Bold, this is my home, you can leave quickly. Otherwise, you will definitely send you and others to the government to punish you for breaking into a private house."
The young man in brocade seemed to hear a huge joke. He laughed exaggeratedly several times, glanced at the military rank on Wang Kai's shoulder, and said mockingly: "A mere third-level soldier dares to be so arrogant. I'm going back to my home, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Kai was stunned when he heard this. He had guessed the identity of this person in his heart. He frowned and said, "Are you Yang Badao?"
Yang Badao reached out and snapped his fingers, and a servant was holding a bamboo chair behind him. Yang Badao sat up, crossed his legs, and laughed at Wang Kai: "Since I guess who I am, why don't you pay me a favor to me, then kneel down and compensate me for me, crawl through my master's crotch. Maybe I'll be happy and I'll spare you this time."
It turns out that this person is Yang Badao as Wang Gui mentioned. He is really as his name is, he is extremely domineering!
