The current head of the Wang family...let's call him the head of the family, Wang Fen.
According to seniority, Wang Fen is the nephew of Concubine Defi Wang. When Concubine De was still alive, she wrote a letter home, asking her nephews to study hard, and also rewarded them with some money to use to treat their husbands.
Later, it was confirmed that Concubine De's move was the golden key to Wang's fortune.
It turns out that the Wang family is a well-to-do family. After Concubine De came to the throne, the local government will naturally treat the Wang family favorably. Some officials hinted that as long as the Wang family does not go out of line, we will not see it.
But the Wang family was restrained in doing things. They didn't dare here and felt guilty there. They finally wanted to annex the land, but the old man in charge couldn't bear it. He said that the folks in the countryside would not see him when he lowered his head and looked up, so he couldn't do it.
So the Wang family was tepid for several years.
In the past few years, the young people of the Wang family have been studying.
A few years later, these "successful" young people gradually took over the power of the family.
The first thing they did was to establish friendship with local officials. At that time, the position of the concubine De was stable, and Wang took the initiative to establish friendship. The local officials were very happy and thought it was pie in the sky...
The two sides blended together like dry fire.
The second step is that young people start to lend money at high interest rates. They start talking about fellow villagers and talk about me. Will I cheat you?
As a result, the people happily borrowed money from the Wang family.
Not long after, the young people turned their faces: Pay back the money!
The villagers were dumbfounded and asked, "Isn't it time to pay back the money?"
The young people took out the contract, pointed at it and said: Look at this clause, my family has the right to demand the principal and interest at any time.
Damn it!
Young man, isn't this right?
What's wrong? This is your signature and seal.
I'm going to sue the official.
Easy to say!
The local official straightened his face and scolded: "I have seen it, and you are willing to do this. You are a treacherous person who took over the land without paying back the money."
But you ask the people to find money and pay it back.
As a result, the land changed hands.
They followed this routine and swept through the entire Decun, fields, shops, population...
Before the old man left, he lamented: "It turns out that reading is so useful. I was so wrong in the past."
Concubine De passed away later, but the Wang family became more and more prosperous by relying on their 'accumulation'.
Their relationship with local officials also became closer and closer. Relying on these connections, the Wang family's influence began to extend to Xiongzhou.
If everything goes well, in a few decades, Xiongzhou will have one more local tycoon.
But it is a pity that Li Xuan ascended the throne.
First, I slapped illegal slaveholding in the face.
Wang went to seek connections, but the local officials said that all the people in Guanzhong were killed this time just for this matter. How tough is Wang's head? If it's tough enough, just bear it.
Hard ass!
Wang Fen returned home, gritted his teeth for several days, and expelled all the servants at home.
Those slaves were freed and had no choice but to continue farming for the Wang family. Most of them would rather go to work.
Wang Fen would go to inspect the vast fields belonging to the Wang family every day.
Spring has come, but there are only so many people in the field, which makes Wang Fen feel like a knife.
He returned home sadly.
Menzi waited for him with a horrified look on his face, "Lang Jun, someone is waiting for you."
"Who!"
Wang Fen was in a very bad mood.
"Jinyiwei!"
…
A very ordinary-looking woman sat at the main seat in the reception hall, calmly watching Wang Fen walk in.
"Wang Fen?"
"Yes." Wang Fen glanced at the woman quickly, but didn't see anything from her expression, and felt a little uneasy.
"I'm here to investigate." Huahua looked at Wang Fen, "You are the nephew of Concubine De."
What about the aunt? Wang Fen's heart trembled, "Yes."
Their aunt, Concubine De, was really kind to them. Every time she wrote to them, she would always say a few words of concern or a few words of advice about studying hard.
"Back then Concubine De accused the late Emperor of molesting her. Did you know about this?"
Huahua stared at Wang Fen's every move.
Wang Fen slowly raised her head, "The villain... knows it. But that's not slander."
"Yeah!" Huahua snorted coldly.
"Yes, it's slander!"
The one on the throne now is the son of the emperor.
Aunt, you have found a great enemy for me!
Wang Fen smiled bitterly, "I've been here for a long time, how can I know what's going on in the palace?"
"Really?" Huahua asked.
"yes."
"Every word you say now will determine the future of the Wang family. It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons."
"Every word of the villain is true."
"good!"
Huahua stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Walk slowly!"
Wang Fen sent Huahua and others out. After the door was closed, he leaned against the door and let out a long breath, his eyes filled with joy.
…
"This matter is difficult to investigate!"
Several Jin Yiwei went to visit the villagers and came to the conclusion that although the Wang family was very dishonest, the number of lives in their hands was much less than that of other powerful men.
If you want to seize benefits, especially from the hands of the people, both civil and military skills are indispensable.
The so-called literature is to take advantage of the people's illiteracy and lack of knowledge and set up various traps for them to jump.
The so-called martial arts is just one word: fight!
There are also two words: beat hard!
The government doesn't care about killing people. This is the most deterrent method.
——I beat someone to death, but it’s no big deal. Who doesn’t accept it? Stand up and take a few steps!
The government represents the law. When the law becomes a decoration, no, when the law becomes a powerful armor, morality will inevitably decline.
Huahua said: "Let's go find out more."
This is an official road, so there are not only shops but also reverse tours.
Both of these restaurants belong to the Wang family.
Huahua and the others stayed at one of the houses, and someone immediately went to report Wang Fen.
"Don't act rashly!" Wang Fen said seriously.
"yes!"
Huahua and the others spent the next few days visiting places.
Some people even went to Xiongzhou to investigate.
Wang Fen is as immovable as a mountain.
…
"They went to the hometown of Deok Concubine in Xiongju!"
Chun Yudian received the news and said coldly: "I have checked, and all traces of the past have been swept away. Even if the gods come, there is no trace of Chun Yu's family in it. Don't panic, calm down!"
"yes!"
Chun Yudian stood up and walked out of the study, "But judging from this matter, the emperor is very determined to take action against the Chun Yu family. I can't sit still and wait for death."
The staff member smiled and said: "The Chunyu family has a lot of mines, and there have been a lot of things going on in the past few years. You shouldn't sit at home and watch!"
"This is very true!" Chun Yudian said: "If someone comes to report it, just say that there is something wrong with the mine in the south, and I have to go and take a look."
"This matter must be arranged, otherwise flaws will be exposed. After all, we are afraid that the Jin Yiwei is watching our house!" the staff said cautiously.
"Go and make arrangements as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
After the staff went out, Chunyudian sat blankly and suddenly ordered someone to call his close followers.
"Mr. Lang!"
Chunyudian lowered his voice and said, "Get some money. I don't want copper coins, but gold and silver. Get a batch and go to the south quickly!"
"Yes!" The attendant nodded.
"Go for it!"
After the entourage left, Chun Yudian called another confidant.
"You immediately go to the south to buy a few ships that can go to sea. In addition, recruit a group of good boatmen. Just say that the master wants to go to sea to do business. This matter must not be leaked to anyone."
"yes!"
…
In Xiongzhou Prefecture, Huahua came out.
"Walk slowly!"
Sima Xiongzhou personally sent her out, which shows his fear.
Huahua came to Zhoushi to investigate the Wang family. The three lives were caused by the thugs below, and those thugs ran away afterwards.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]
This is the method that powerful people are best at: killing people with thugs, then changing their names and going out to avoid the limelight. When they come back after a year or two, who will remember whom?
Huahua temporarily settled in the city.
"Wang's foundation is not clean, but it is much better than those powerful people."
Huahua and several Jinyiwei were thinking about this matter.
"How about getting tortured?" someone suggested.
Huahua shook her head, "His Majesty's suppression of the world's rich and powerful has already caused a stir. If we dig deeper into the past of these people, there will really be wars everywhere."
"If you push too hard, these people will jump over the wall!"
Huahua drank tea and frowned slightly.
"The three lives were all done by people below. Those people... we can't touch Wang Fen directly, but the people below can always do it."
Huahua raised her eyebrows, "Find those people."
Even though he changed his name, people within the Wang family knew it very well. Moreover, the victim's family also knew something about it.
After some inquiring, the two original murderers were successfully caught.
"torture!"
Nilu temporarily became the execution chamber of the Jin Yiwei. Amidst the pitiful howls, the shopkeeper turned pale and ordered someone to go to his home to report Wang Fen.
"The villain said..."
"People are not killed by villains!"
"Who is that?"
"He is the brother of the empress, Mr. Erlang!"
"Erlangjun, who?"
The criminal lowered his head.
A short sword appeared on his chin like lightning, and with a slight lift, the prisoner raised his head involuntarily. He looked at Huahua with murderous intent in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I told you that the gentleman will not spare the villain!"
"In front of the Jin Yiwei, who would dare to take action except His Majesty?" Huahua said coldly: "If you have clean hands, my Jin Yiwei will protect you! Say it!"
The prisoner swallowed hard and trembled, "Wang... Wanggui!"
"Tell me clearly what happened back then!"
"Back then, Mr. Erlang was young and had a bad temper. He took me and others to harvest the fields, but the family refused. They said that it was right to take out a loan and repay the money, but the original agreement was that it would be next year. Mr. Erlang was angry and went up and beat him severely...
His eyes were red from the beating, and he couldn't persuade him no matter how hard he tried. Only when he got tired did he realize that the man... had been beaten to death by him."
"Your life is saved." Huahua said.
"After returning home, the old man asked the villain to take the blame, and then asked the villain to change his name and tell the public that the villain ran away..."
Huahua turned around and walked out of the room, looked at the guy running towards Wang's house, and said, "Let's go!"
She walked down the stairs and walked out of the journey under the panicked eyes of the shopkeeper.
Behind him, dozens of guards in golden robes pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, and it came out.
…
"Lang Jun, it's not good!"
Wang Fen was writing a letter when she heard the voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
The waiter said: "That woman found out about Erlangjun's murder..."
Wang Fen's body swayed, "My second uncle knows many things about our family. Quick, tell my second uncle to leave quickly!"
"Where to go?"
A voice that frightened Wang Fen came from outside the study, and then Huahua walked in.
