Chapter 884
"Say what you are doing and why you are here." Fang Zhengyi guided Wang Erzhu with his words.
"I... am a farmer. I can't live in Xinzhang County, so I want to do some business here." Wang Erzhu was still a little scared.
Yang Yingcai frowned and said, "Can't survive? Nonsense. Xinzhang County has always had good policies to help the people. How could you not survive if you have land? You should say it well, and you can't add any falsehoods.
”
"If you are just a lazy guy and don't be enterprising, you won't be able to live a good life and you won't be able to rely on others!"
Lazy guy? Am I a lazy guy?
Wang Erzhu felt a little dizzy.
Although both his parents died, his father died early. He was the only strong laborer in the family, and he always managed the family business.
I work hard every day, from morning to night, as tired as a dead dog.
Lazy guy... This is a great insult to his personality.
Wang Erzhu felt aggrieved and anxious, and his heart gradually became angry. Tears burst into tears in his eyes. He roared: "I have worked hard to live! Why do you say I am a lazy person!"
Fang Zheng is worried.
Poor Wang Erzhu is slandered even if he lies flat. It's really miserable.
"I go out to work before dawn every day, and I can only rest when the sun goes down the mountain. It turns out that life alone is pretty good and I can live a life of just one person."
"But everything changed after he came!" Wang Erzhu said, pointing at Sun Sheng angrily.
Sun Sheng's eyes were wide open, a little unbelievable.
He... thought he was diligent and loved the people, but he didn't expect that this Tu Lao Mao, who came out of nowhere, would slander him in front of His Majesty!
This person is the child care that Fang Zheng looked for?!
Although he had such a question in his heart, Emperor Jing obviously did not trust him now.
Sun Sheng didn't dare to talk too much.
Wang Erzhu continued to cry: "Since the dog official took office, Xinzhang has changed."
"The original price was calculated to be stable, but later the government restricted others from raising prices, so it became increasingly difficult to buy. So later, it was impossible to buy without raising prices through the back door, and prices in the city were getting higher and higher."
"Not only that, I have to go to the city to work and find some odd jobs to barely live. In the past, I could find a good livelihood and make some money by selling all my strength."
"But later, some small workshops in the city were taken away. They recruited few people and did a lot of work. The money earned was not enough for me to eat. I simply lived at home and dared not
When you go out, you don’t have to move around and you can eat less.”
"Once you get tired of work and get sick, you will have no money to cure it!" Wang Erzhu's voice became louder and louder, "Those pharmacies were also taken away by rich people. The price of medicinal materials has increased several times, and after that, I still have to wait.
I don’t know if the one I bought is true or not! Do you know?”
"I have a neighbor... because of a cold, I couldn't help but sell my land and went to buy medicine. In the end, the disease was not cured and the land was gone!"
Wang Erzhu said with tears in his voice, and he immediately pointed at Sun Sheng: "It's all because of you! I'm so worried about living every day!"
"I'm not going to have enough food soon, and there's not much left in my family's savings!"
"How many people around me have been taken away by the landlords at low prices. We want to seek justice from the government... But even the door of the yamen cannot enter, and they will be beaten and scolded."
"What can we do? It's just a few complaints in private, but you don't let this complaint! You will be locked in jail when you hear it!"
Wang Erzhu beat his chest and stamped his feet: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid I have no food to eat, I'm afraid my family's ancestral property will be taken away, I'm afraid the court... I'm doing something wrong! You still want to say I'm a lazy man
?!I just want a normal life!”
Sun Sheng's eyes flashed with panic: "Impossible! This is either what happened to you alone, or you are lying!"
"I'm lying?" Wang Erzhu pointed his backhand at himself, his eyes wide open angrily, "Dog official! Do you want to blame me?!"
"Where is your conscience? I thought I could bully me endlessly if I was a commoner?"
"There is only an orchard left in my house. This was passed down to me by my father. I don't plan to ask for it anymore... That's my ancestral property, ancestral property!" Wang Erzhu cried loudly.
"Do you think I don't want it? I have lived in Xinzhang all my life, but I can't survive now, I can't survive!"
Wang Erzhu was out of control and everyone present was secretly surprised.
It seems that there is something else they haven't seen.
However, Sun Sheng had lost his composure and pointed at Wang Erzhu and shouted: "Shut up! Lies are all lies. Your Majesty, this person must be found by Fang Zheng to slander me... The news below in Xinzhang County
Report every three days, how could the people know nothing about this miserable life!"
"Then you want to tell me that I'm lying?" Wang Erzhu was so angry that he rushed forward with his teeth and claws.
Caught off guard, Sun Sheng was thrown to the ground and the two began to fight.
This unprecedented change shocked everyone. Yang Yingcai reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Come here! Pull them apart!"
"Don't move, let them fight!" Emperor Jing said in a deep voice.
"Parent Guo, I should have gained something when I asked you to secretly investigate Xinzhang?"
Guo Tianyang walked out and whispered: "I have gained a lot. Do Your Majesty want to listen now?"
"Tell them."
"Yes, I secretly sent people to many gentry families and yamen in Xinzhang County to investigate. As Master Fang expected, these local forces had basically joined forces due to Sun Sheng's high-pressure methods."
"Sun Sheng was kept in the dark, and the gentry family secretly vigorously purchased the people's shops and land at low prices. The people in the yamen were used as thugs to escort them. Whenever Sun Sheng visited the people, they would join forces to act."
"I have asked them to sign and seal these evidences. Do your Majesty want to see them now?"
After hearing this, the ministers fell into silence, only Sun Sheng's wailing and Wang Erzhu's roar were there
Emperor Jing raised his hand and glanced deep in his eyes and said, "No need, have you heard it? There are so many pillars of the country and old ministers of the two dynasties, but none of them found the problem! Instead, Fang Zheng, a grader, took a look at it gently.
A transparent one!”
"Zhengyi said it well, your feet are not stuck in mud... You all keep the people in your mouth, but who really cares?"
Yang Yingcai couldn't help but defend himself: "Your Majesty, Sun Sheng is just blinded by the traitor. If he continues to be beaten, he will be beaten to death!"
"The traitors are blinded? Why are all traitors in Xinzhang County except him? Aren't these traitors created by him?" Emperor Jing said coldly.
"Your Majesty will really die if you fight again." Fang Zhengyi reminded in a low voice.
Sun Sheng was just a literati. He couldn't resist the three punches of the farmer Wang Erzhu, and was basically pressed to the ground to beat him.
Now he has a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he vomits blood from his mouth, and his condition is very miserable.
Seeing this, Emperor Jing waved his hand.
Fang Zhengyi hurried forward and wanted to pull Wang Erzhu away.
It doesn’t matter if Sun Sheng dies, but if Wang Erzhu kills a scholar, the problem will be big.
The two of them were covered with dust. Fang Zheng thought it was dirty and took out a silver ingot from his cuff.
It was handed to Wang Erzhu's eyes, and Wang Erzhu's eyes were determined and stopped.
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Stop it, Erzhu, everyone here is an official."
