Chapter 37 Pressure

Before knowing that Wang Dehao was taken by Tang Feng, the members of the Wang family were full of confidence, because the second young master was the most powerful among the three sons of the Wang family. He not only knew how to do business, but also had martial arts skills. With these hundreds of servants together, they added power. They thought that Tang Feng's county government would surrender no matter what. However, the facts were often not as good as they thought. What they waited for was that Wang Dehao was captured and was also under the charge of rebellion and rebellion.

At this moment, the entire Wang family was in a bad mood. Some of them said they wanted Wang Degong to take people there and snatch people back, and some of them were pessimistic, not knowing what to do. Wang Degong obviously belonged to the latter. Unexpectedly, his second brother could not teach Tang Feng a lesson, but instead brought him in. Although this was of certain benefit to him, Wang Degong felt a little frightened when he thought that the charge he was convicted of was rebellion.

Just when the Wang family lost weight because of this incident, the last savior of the Wang family arrived. He was Wang Wencheng, the second uncle of Wang Degong and others, and Wang Wenzheng's younger brother. The reason why he came late was that he went to several important yamen to rescue Wang Dedao. After receiving the promises from these people, he rushed back to She County and learned about the death of his brother halfway.

After crying and worshiping his brother, Wang Wencheng decided to fight back against Tang Feng. But then he found that Wang Dehao, who had come back first, was not here, so he asked. Wang Degong then told all the story, from Wang Dedao's injury to taxes and silver, to the robbery and killing of people and Wang Dehao took people to the yamen. After that, he looked at Wang Wencheng and said, "Second uncle, now Tang Feng clearly wants to force my Wang family to the dead end. Please ask the second uncle to make an idea for us!"

After listening to these many things quietly, Wang Wencheng's face suddenly became dark and said, "You all underestimated this county magistrate. No matter whether there is anyone behind him, you can't beat him because he grasped the word Li. Especially Dehao, he actually took people to the county government for trouble. If the Tang surnamed holds this point, it will be a difficult situation for my Wang family."

"Second uncle, then we just watched it until my Wang family was destroyed by this little county magistrate?"

"Even if there is no matter between Daoer and my elder brother, I can't watch his small county magistrate not good for my Wang family. Besides, he arrested two descendants of my Wang family, which caused my elder brother to die of sudden illness. I must cut this person into pieces!" Wang Wencheng said coldly.

"Then it's up to you, the second uncle! My nephew only obeys the orders here!" Wang Degong knew that this was already the moment of survival and death, and the power of the Wang family was not so easy to take.

Wang Wencheng pondered for a while before saying, "The reason why our Wang family has fallen to this point is because they underestimated him too much and made him suppress us by relying on his identity. So this time, we must not be careless and can no longer let him stay in our flaws."

"I don't know what my second uncle means..." Wang Degong asked respectfully.

Wang Wencheng said: "It's very simple. We don't do anything. We will wait for the people above to come before we talk. Only in this way can he be unable to attack us. When the officials above come, he, a small seventh-rank county magistrate, cannot do it. In this way, we can take advantage of the situation to fight back."

"But in this case, won't the second and third brothers continue to be imprisoned? Wouldn't this have a big blow to the reputation of my Wang family? How will my Wang family work in She County, or even Nanzhili in the future?" Wang Degong was very reluctant to say.

Wang Wencheng said seriously: "It is because you can't help but rush to take action that the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and he can constantly attack our Wang family. Now it's not something that people like you and me can do. If your third uncle hadn't been in Beijing, I would have wanted him to take action. The matter was settled, so people could not wait to have trouble. Until the government or the governor sent officials to come down, we could use them to deal with Tang Feng!"

Seeing Wang Wencheng's serious face and unquestionable tone, Wang Degong had to nod his head obediently to agree. In fact, he really couldn't find any solution now, so he could only obey.

"Young Master, I have spread this news all over Nanzhili in a few days. I believe that the people from all over the world also knew about the Wang family's invasion. Even if those officials wanted to protect them, they could not block the mouths of the people in the world." Fengchen rushed back to the county government and said excitedly after seeing Tang Feng.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days, so you can go down and take a rest. With so many people as evidence, even if this matter is caused by the emperor, I will not be defeated!" Seeing that Tang Feng was so happy and determined, he was also happy. After agreeing, he went back to the back hall to rest.

"If you talk about the creation and grasp of public opinion, who else in this world can be better than me?" Tang Feng said softly. He ordered to solve the doubts and spread the matter of Wang Dehao's invasion of the yamen, that is, to tell the officials through the mouths of the people that this matter could not be covered. At the same time, Tang Feng had another plan that he did not dare to say it in his own heart, that is, he would also pass this matter through the largest secret agency of the Ming Dynasty and pass it to the capital.

Now that things are so big, Tang Feng is just waiting for the officials of his superiors' yamen to investigate. As for Wang Dahao and others, Tang Feng just put them in prison and did not conduct public trials. So he knew that these people no longer had to be tried, and many people have seen what they did, so why bother to do it?

On August 29, after several days of waiting, the officials sent by Huizhou Prefecture finally arrived in She County. The person who came was the Tongguan of Huizhou Prefecture, and the official title of the sixth rank was two levels higher than that of Tang Feng, the county magistrate. After learning that the man had arrived, Tang Feng ordered Gao Ming to take people to wait outside the county town, while he himself wore official uniforms and waited in the county government. In this way, he could not say that he was despised Shangguan, but also let the other party know that he was not too afraid of him.

The magistrate named Liu Sanquan, who was also from a Jinshi, but he was nearly fifty years old and looked very steady. After following Gao Ming and others to the county government office, he only exchanged a few greetings with Tang Feng, and directly explained his purpose: "Mr. Tang County, I heard that you are very harsh to the local people and have caused public grievances, so the prefect ordered me to come and see what happened."

Unexpectedly, the other party would make Tang Feng laugh and cry. He had no choice but to answer: "The people in this county are stable and there is no such thing as the Lord said. However, there is a wealthy and unkind Wang family in the local area who repeatedly made things difficult for the officials because they have some friendship with officials from all over the country. This time, the gate of the county government was broken, so the Lord was detained in desperation. Moreover, the Lord has already written the story of the matter and reported it to the prefect's case. Could it be that Lord Liu didn't know?"

Of course Liu Sanquan knew about this, and he was also complaining about the task assigned by the prefect. Even though he knew that the matter was a big deal, Tang Feng would definitely not give in and even had to go there by himself. But he still said to himself: "There is such a thing? I don't know yet. But Lord Tang, are you sure that this is wrong with the Wang family? If this arouses civil unrest, it will not only be a dismissal."

Hearing the meaning of his words, Tang Feng would certainly not retreat because of this sentence. So he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness. The subordinates are still very relieved to the people under the rule. They will only applaud the subordinates for convicting the Wang family, and will never cause trouble as the emperor said."

Seeing that Tang Feng was not moved by his words, and he also told himself that this matter was supported by the people, which made Liu Sanquan lose something to say for a moment. Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Tang Feng continued: "If you don't believe it, you can go on a walk in this county with your lower officials and listen to how the people evaluate it, and you can go back and report to the prefect."

"This... I don't think there is any need." Liu Sanquan quickly rejected Tang Feng's proposal. He knew that this matter was no longer something he could deal with, so he said: "Since the matter is not what he said, the official will go back tomorrow. I hope that County Magistrate Tang can understand the hard work of the prefect, and don't do something that makes him embarrassed."

Tang Feng hurriedly said yes, and then sent Liu Sanquan to the inn to rest. "It seems that this magistrate is still a sensible person. If all those who come here are such people, my previous preparations will be in vain." After sending the person, Tang Feng thought to himself. But at the same time, he also knew that this was impossible. With the magistrate's return of vain, more officials will come to She County. What he has to do is to withstand all the pressure until the matter becomes impossible and dare not hide it.

As Tang Feng expected, when he went to a magistrate in the mansion, he came the deputy envoy of the governor. This was a fourth-rank high-ranking official, so he could only tell the other party carefully, but in terms of justice, he refused to give in. In the end, Tang Feng finally took it with his supreme perseverance.

But from this man's aggressive words, Tang Feng already knew that the Wang family must have spent a lot of effort in the governor's yamen, so that he would have to be very energetic to deal with the coming and doing a good job. Only then did Tang Feng realize that it was not easy to stick to his beliefs.

From the sixth to the fourth grade, Tang Feng didn't know if the governor would be the governor himself next time, and he was not sure whether he could withstand the pressure. But he also knew that he could no longer retreat because he had retired and had a small job in dismissal, and it would be bad for those who followed him to become enemies with the Wang family.
