After placing Xiao Zhuzi on the car, Xiao Yu did not let Su Luo enter the patriarch's yard again. Instead, he asked her to wait on the mule cart. He went into the yard and brought them some buckets of brine and Su Zimu's chicken.
The basket was lifted out.
"We can't seat too many people in the car. How many of you are going to the medicine hall together? Don't delay, let's set off now." Xiao Yu slightly lowered his eyelids, without any expression on his face, standing there and said to the clan leader.
.
It was obviously a very ordinary question, but the powerful sense of oppression made the patriarch tremble violently.
He couldn't help but swallowed, "Wang Er and I will go with you."
He is the leader of the clan, and if something like this happens, he must go.
As soon as Wang Er heard that he was going, he immediately waved his arm.
"I won't go. What am I going to do? Whoever wants to go can go. I don't have money. I won't go to the medicine hall, and I won't go to the Yamen. It's natural for me to beat my son. I've never heard of someone who beats his son and has to go to the Yamen. Young Master
To scare people, you think I have never seen anything in the world.
I picked up the pole, but if he hadn't happened to be standing there, I wouldn't have been able to hit him. He didn't run away because of your kid. Even if the official decides the case, it's still your fault.
If it weren't for you, how could he not run away?
Besides, don’t we still have a veterinarian in our village? It’s the same thing when the veterinarian comes back from my mother-in-law’s house to treat Xiao Zhuzi.”
Wang Er is playing tricks and fooling around.
Xiao Yu didn't say much and said directly to the clan leader: "Since you two are going, the mule cart can still fit in, so get on."
After saying that, regardless of whether Wang Er wanted to or not, he just carried him away and walked towards the car.
Wang Er immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's killing, it's killing, you bastards, my eldest brother risked his life to save you back then, you can't just ignore it, it's killing..."
Xiao Yu found a rope for tying the bucket from the mule cart. Without much trouble, he tied up Wang Er five times, found a rag and stuffed it into his mouth, and threw him directly into the cart.
No one in the village stopped me.
Just kidding, they are going to the Yamen, who dares to get involved with the Yamen.
The patriarch looked at it for a moment, then climbed onto the mule cart tremblingly.
On the way back, Xiao Yu didn't ask Su Luo to catch the bus anymore. He sat at the front on the left side to catch the bus, and the clan leader sat in the seat next to him.
After changing his previous strong aura, when the mule cart left Wangjia Village, Xiao Yu asked the clan leader in a warm voice, "I just heard Wang Er yelling and scolding his elder brother. What's going on? Who is his elder brother? He looks very powerful."
.”
Xiao Yu suddenly became gentle, and the clan leader was startled, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Turning around to look at Xiao Yu, I saw that although the young man still had a sullen face, his expression was not scary at all.
Xiao Yu saw the clan leader looking over and smiled, "Just now in the village, I made Wang Er angry. If I say anything to the clan leader, please don't be the same as me. I really... have never seen anything like this.
You bastard, I'll apologize to you, I was just angry with him."
Xiao Yu's apology was very sincere.
The patriarch's heart was instantly touched, and he sighed helplessly, "Wang Er is a bastard, making you laugh. If others were like this, I, as the patriarch, would have disciplined them long ago, but Wang Er..."
The patriarch paused for a moment before sighing again.
"Wang Er's brother used to be a high-ranking official in the imperial court, a very high-ranking one. I heard he was an official in the Ministry of Industry or something. Anyway, his brothers didn't live in the village in the early years."
When Xiao Yu heard the word "Ministry of Works", he was completely shocked, and his mind quickly thought about the people in the Ministry of Works.
Six or seven years ago, he was still a senior official in the Ministry of Industry...
Six or seven years ago, my surname was Wang.
Don't even think about this. Wang Changmin, the former Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the only one in the Ministry of Industry named Wang who was proficient in water conservancy.
Xiao Yu frowned, he didn't expect to meet Wang Changmin's younger brother here?
"About six or seven years ago, Mr. Wang suddenly returned to our village, saying that he was going back to renovate the village and build an ancestral hall and so on.
Everyone was very happy at that time. Mr. Wang even drew a special renovation plan for the village. We didn’t need to pay for it. Everyone just contributed.
Unexpectedly, the night before Mr. Wang returned to the village, our village was attacked by violent bandits.
Mr. Wang has great skills, he was the one who beat the gangster away, but he was seriously injured."
Having said this, the patriarch looked back at Xiao Zhuzi with tears in his eyes.
"Similar to Xiao Zhuzi, Mr. Wang also had a bloody hole in his head and was unable to be saved in time.
Everyone in our village is grateful for Master Wang's life-saving grace. The person who came back with Master Wang at that time was his younger brother Wang Er. Something happened to Master Wang, and Wang Er left our village the next day.
Almost two years later, he came back again and brought back Xiaozhuzi, saying that this was his eldest brother's child, and they lived in the village from then on.
His eldest brother was very kind to us. His ancestral house had long been in dilapidated condition. I led the villagers to grab work and repaired it for him, and my uncle and nephew lived there.
At that time, Xiao Zhuzi was only two or three years old, and Wang Er didn't hit anyone. He had asked Xiao Zhuzi to call him daddy since he was a child. He taught his children like this, and we had nothing to say. They were uncles and nephews.
Later, I don’t know when exactly it started. Wang Eryi started beating small bamboo sticks after he drank too much. At first, everyone tried to control him, but the more people ignored Wang Er, the harder they beat him...
..”
At this point, the patriarch thought of the beatings Xiao Zhuzi had received over the years and was a little speechless.
Xiao Yu held the reins and scratched the reins with his thumb, "Where is Mr. Wang buried? I'll pay my respects later."
The patriarch came back to his senses and said, "It was not buried. It was all in the dark. We found Mr. Wang at the entrance of the village. He was bleeding from the head. At that time, no one had a mule or cart at home, and they did not dare to move him. Several strong young men in the village
So we went to the town together to ask for a doctor, and the others went home to get some wood, quilts, etc. from home. We all wanted to make a fire there first.
Some people also boil water at home, fearing that the doctor will need hot water for a consultation later.
There was such a big bloody hole in his head that no one dared to move him.
At that time, someone was left there to guard us, but when we turned back, the guard fell asleep and Mr. Wang disappeared.
Everyone found blood stains all the way to the back mountain during the next day, and there were traces of dragging, so they all said that Mr. Wang was dragged away by wild beasts."
The beast dragged him away?
Not only Xiao Yu was confused, but Su Luo also turned to look at the clan leader.
Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where was Wang Er at that time?"
The patriarch said: "When Mr. Wang was fighting with the gangster, Wang Er also helped and knocked the gangster unconscious."
Xiao Yu rubbed his fingertips lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
As far as he knew, six or seven years ago, Wang Changmin was squeezed out and suppressed by the Zhenninghou Mansion Party because he supported the emperor's resumption of water transportation. He was forced to be suspended and investigated at that time.
He had no memory of Wang Changmin's return to his hometown. He only remembered that not long after Wang Changmin was suspended for investigation, news came that he had committed suicide at home out of fear of crime.
This is the only official in the Ministry of Works who is proficient in water conservancy.
At that time, the emperor wanted to restart water transportation, but because of Wang Changmin's death, the plan had to be suspended.
How could he have imagined that after six or seven years, he would meet Wang Changmin's son here?
Were the people who came to the village to cause trouble at that time really ruthless bandits?
Was Wang Changmin really dragged away by a wild beast?
