Chapter 105 The first meeting of Dianwei
The third day of April, early morning.
As soon as Wang Yan got up and washed up, after breakfast, the servant came to report that the Wang family asked for a meeting.
Wang Yan was very dissatisfied with the Wang family and believed that the Wang family was a time bomb that could explode at any time. However, as the county magistrate, Wang Yan could not put the Wang family on the blacklist at once, otherwise it would be too domineering. If the Wang family surrendered, Wang Yan would be willing to ease the relationship.
In the hall, the guest and the host sit down.
When Wang Chu saw Wang Yan, he bowed and said, "Wang Chu, pay homage to the county magistrate."
Wang Yan signaled Wang Chu to sit down and asked, "You are here to meet me today. What are the important things?"
Wang Chu replied: "My father has done something yesterday. At night, he began to reflect on his willingness to reconcile and hoped that the adults could lift the siege of the Wang family. At the same time, how should the adults agree and give conditions. If I can agree, I can make a promise directly. If not, I will report to my father and ask my father to decide."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan showed a smile on his face and said, "I have no conditions. As long as the Wang family comes to apologize, he admits that Zhuge Xuan steals jade artifacts is a slander by the servants of the Wang family. This matter ends here."
When Wang Chuyi heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
Once the news of apology came out, where would the Wang family still put their faces? How did the Wang family lead Qunlun and how would they command the major families in Yangdu County?
This is unrealistic and even more difficult.
When Wang Yan saw Wang Chu's hesitant expression, he sneered in his heart.
He just made a public apology, but did not ask the Wang family to pay or make the Wang family less meat, but Wang Chu hesitated.
The Wang family is too arrogant after all and needs to be polished slowly.
With a deep face, Wang Yan said in a stiff tone: "If you can't decide, go back and tell Wang Ming and ask him to consider it. When will he agree to apologize, and when will I withdraw the army? I will not even blame the Wang family for fighting against the government. What else can he think about? Okay, go back."
Wang Chu quickly stood up and said, "Sir, from my standpoint, I am willing to let the Wang family apologize. However, the head of the family is my father. This matter is very important and must be decided by his father."
Wang Yan nodded and said impatiently: "Okay, hurry up and go back."
Wang Chu stood up and said goodbye. Half an hour later, Wang Chu came to visit again and met Wang Yan. Wang Chu said: "Mr. Wang County, my father agreed to apologize. Please remove the soldiers surrounding the Wang family. It is really inconvenient for the army to surround the Wang family."
After a pause, Wang Chu said again: "Last night, my father fainted twice and fell to the ground, so he was weak and his old illness recurred. Now he is lying in bed, feeling weak and unable to move. My father said that he will not be able to apologize in the past two days, and he will have to wait until his body recovers slightly before going. This matter requires the consent of the adults."
"As long as you apologize sincerely, you can go later, and I will pass the order immediately."
Wang Yan called the yamen runners and asked the yamen runners to pass on orders.
Wang Yan cursed in his heart about Wang Ming, the old fox. The so-called physical recovery is a cover, and it is unknown when it will recover. It is possible that Wang Ming deliberately delays time.
However, Wang Yan could not let the matter follow Wang Ming's idea. Next, Wang Yan would have a news that would create public opinion and force Wang Ming to apologize to Zhuge's family. Furthermore, if Wang Ming did not apologize, Wang Yan could once again lead troops to surround the Wang family on the grounds of investigating the pirates. Anyway, Wang Yan would also drag the pirates to not close the case.
After seeing Wang Chu away, Wang Yan returned to the study to handle government affairs.
Time flies in a hurry, and half a month passes in a blink of an eye.
Wang Ming did not come to apologize in the end, but he sent his eldest son Wang Chu to apologize. In this case, Wang Yan turned a blind eye and reluctantly agreed. Anyway, Zhuge Jin was an official in the county government and wanted to take revenge, so Zhuge Jin found an opportunity himself in the future.
In this way, Wang Yan put aside the collusion with pirates and left it alone.
On that day, knocks sounded outside the study room.
Concubine Yang Ya was wearing a white dress and knocked on the door: "County Magistrate!"
Wang Yan opened the door, welcomed Yang Yafei into the room, and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
Concubine Yang had a very resentful look and said to herself that she hadn’t seen you for a long time. But she had a thin face and had no courage to say it. So Concubine Yang found a reason and said, “It’s sunny today, and my health has been completely recovered. Why not visit the mountains in the south of the county town? I heard that there are temples in the mountains, which are very effective, so I will worship Buddha.”
After hearing this, Wang Yan agreed directly and said, "You go and change your clothes, we'll set off right away."
"Really, did you agree?" Yang Yafei was stunned, but was a little surprised.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Of course I agreed. Do you dare not implement the arrangements of the eldest lady of the Yang family?"
"Well, I'll go change my clothes right away."
Concubine Yang Yaqin charmingly threw her eyes, held her skirt and left.
Half an hour later, Wang Yan, Yang Yafei and his entourage drove out of the city and headed to the mountains south of the county town. In this era, after leaving the city, there were mountains and forests everywhere, surrounded by trees, and the most primitive ecological environment was still maintained.
It is rare to have time to have some time to have some fun, and Wang Yan is also very excited and quite happy.
"Well!"
Suddenly, the carriage that was advancing suddenly stopped.
The carriage bumped, and Wang Yan asked, "What happened?"
After the words came, the curtain of the carriage rolled up, and a man came in fiercely. After sitting down, he shook a dagger in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry into the mountain ahead."
This man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a lion's mouth and a wide nose, and the curly beard under his jaw was like a steel needle, showing its roughness and toughness. As soon as he sat down, Yang Yafei regretted it. He was going out for a trip, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. The man's face was dark, his naked arms were bronze-colored, and his veins were like dragons, rooted on his arms.
Wang Yan held Yang Yafei's hand, signaled Yang Yafei to rest assured, and said calmly: "Hurry on the way and go to the mountains."
Upon hearing this, the man grinned, "Boy, if you know the truth, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor will I hurt you. This time I stop the carriage to avoid the pursuit behind me. When the carriage reaches the mountains and forests, I will let you go."
Wang Yan asked: "Why is the hero being hunted? Perhaps, I can help the hero."
The strong man shook his head and said, "No one can help me with my business."
Wang Yan changed his tone and asked, "The heroic man's surname?"
The strong man stared at Wang Yan like a tiger and leopard. Seeing that Wang Yan's expression remained unchanged, he said after a while: "If you ask my name, do you want to settle the accounts after the autumn? But I am not afraid. The debt is too much, and it doesn't affect the extra one. Your grandfather's name is Dian Wei. This time, I came to Yangdu County to do a big deal. As for what the deal, I won't tell you. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of followers wherever I go. There are still a bunch of people following behind Yangdu County, which is really hard to worry."
"Dian Wei?"
A flash of light flashed in Wang Yan's eyes.
Among the Three Kingdoms, the famous Dian Wei actually appeared in Yangdu County and even hijacked his carriage. What is this? Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan adjusted his emotions and thought about how to deal with this matter.
Dian Wei played with the dagger in his hand and asked, "Boy, you are very calm from beginning to end, and you don't even have any fear. Are you afraid that I will kill you?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Yan's mouth and said, "If Dian Zhuang kills innocent people and is bloodthirsty, he will kill the groom directly when he hijacks the carriage, then drive us out of the carriage or kill us, and drive forward by himself. However, once we are driven out of the carriage, the hunter encounters us and takes our wrath, he may take our lives. Dian Zhuang is so fine and detailed. I guess we are safe. I am grateful for it."
"Hahaha... Interesting, interesting, really interesting. This is the first time I heard of being hijacked. Thanks to the bandits." Dian Wei raised his thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed with a flash of light, but there was a hint of shock. He asked, "You guy is a little capable. Look at your outfit, you are not an ordinary person."
Wang Yan did not hide it and said directly: "I am the county magistrate of Yangdu County."
"Are you Wang Yan?" Dian Wei widened his eyes, his eyes were quite strange.
Wang Yan noticed a trace of weirdness in Dian Wei's eyes and asked, "Can the hero know me?"
Dian Wei smiled, his strange expression immediately calmed down, and said, "I heard something from my friend's ears, but I didn't expect to see the magistrate Wang here today."
