Chapter 198 Timid and afraid of getting into trouble
The moon is crescent,
The night was indeed eerily quiet,
Also awake was His Majesty the Emperor,
Bai Shi, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared. When he saw His Majesty, his face was filled with smiles.
Shiraishi ran forward and backward, and the two girls simply cleaned themselves up at this time and stood refreshed behind His Majesty.
Just like the flower protector.
His Majesty looked over the status of the case.
It was found that they had not collected many clues, but most of them pointed to Zhu Sanping.
He shook his head, but it had no effect on the official. He found that this man was really invisible and deep.
After thinking about it, I still don’t plan to go see him.
"Take me to meet Zhang Wei's family."
As he stood up, he thought that he still needed to find a breakthrough point. Since they were asking from here, they might ask something else.
Also, Zhang Wei was the one who took the lead in the previous incident at the teahouse. I had to meet him.
"This, the environment is not very good. How about my slaves bringing them here?"
Baishi Road.
"Let's go and have a look. The elderly, children, and pregnant women will be sent back alive after the questioning is over."
The emperor shook his head, and the man with the golden sword went outside.
Bai Shi saw that he couldn't stop him, so he ran two steps to lead him over. Naturally, the two Qings also followed him, not daring to neglect him.
There was a ticking sound, and as soon as you entered the house made of wood, you felt a cold breeze.
I didn't know where I found a thatched hut made of old wooden boards. With a small voice, I stepped in. The door was broken to death, and it opened with a push.
There was a pop sound, which made the ears of those who heard it hurt.
It was probably because of this noise that the people in the room came out immediately.
The little woman who came out first, with a big belly, yawned and looked at the emperor with uneasiness and displeasure.
"Where is Zhang Wei?" The emperor glanced at him and continued.
"That's me." Following the little lady, a man walked out and said.
The patched clothes were washed white, and he stood there with an honest and kind look, protecting his wife behind him and looking at the two of them.
I saw Eunuch Bai moving a stool for the emperor and then looking at the emperor.
He could not tell the identity of the emperor, but he felt that this man was gentle and noble, and he should be a son of a noble family.
He looked like an upright man in his forties or fifties, so he subconsciously cheered up, with a trace of nervousness.
The emperor said nothing for a long time, just sitting on the stool and looking at the two couples.
There were three people standing behind them, all looking at the ground and not saying anything, just following orders or adapting to circumstances.
Zhang Wei couldn't wait for the emperor to speak. After all, he couldn't bear his temper and said: "What do you mean? From now on, our place will be under your control, right? You are investigating the case?"
The emperor nodded and then shook his head and said: "I'm here to ask questions, yes, but it's still under the control of the previous young master."
Then the emperor looked at the two couples and continued to ask, "Have you ever heard of Mr. Han?"
Zhang Wei shook his head.
"You can spend more time to inquire about it later. From now on, Fanzhizhou will be a fiefdom for Mr. Han. He is old enough and can be crowned king."
The emperor continued.
"I don't care how old he is, I just want to know what he plans to do to us and how you plan to resolve this case." Zhang Wei said nonchalantly.
"He won't do anything to you? I believe what he said, he won't buy your land and will make sure that farmers all over the country have something to eat. As for how this case will be settled, it depends on the evidence.
Rather than me saying anything."
The emperor smiled and took the tea from Eunuch Bai.
I poured myself a glass, and poured another glass for Zhang Wei and his wife.
Then he continued: "There is justice in the world. I believe you two also believe in this truth."
Zhang Wei didn't say anything, he pulled the little woman to sit down, looked at the emperor and shook his head.
"I grew up in a town. This town has raised three generations of our family. Almost every generation has come here like this. Either someone is enclosing the land, someone is forcibly buying the land, or there is collusion between the government and businessmen, and the people have little to live for.
"
Years of accumulation have made him unable to see the light. It is not that this town has never produced scholars, but few people who have gone out can climb up and fight against the bureaucrats and gentry.
Gradually, even staying alive became a problem, and no one studied or went out.
How difficult is it to cultivate a scholar in a place like this?
"The new king will exempt the people of the fief from paying taxes for one year. This is Daman's long-standing rule." The emperor said.
"What's the use? What can you do in one year? Can you produce a good official? It's just more oppression to make them get more." Zhang Wei said unceremoniously.
His voice became louder, almost like roaring.
Eunuch Bai behind the emperor stared at him as if he wanted to kill him. He believed that as long as the emperor gave an order, Zhang Wei would not survive the night.
"How can you be sure that the new officials will not care about you?"
The emperor sighed, really helpless.
Do you really want to break things like this without any desires or demands?
"No one will care about us. It's true that we haven't gone out here, but what's the use in the end?" Zhang Wei mocked.
He knew that it was a big decision for those officials to come back and interfere in the affairs of the village, and there was no problem in not interfering.
In a place like this, it takes several generations and several families to pick it out from their mouths. How can we not cherish it?
Why do we need to kidnap people morally and make them risk their lives in exchange for it?
Who knows if it was in vain?
"After all, you are just timid. You only used two or three people, old, weak, women and children, to hurt yourself. Even this time, it only cost four lives."
"Including Ren Ye and his followers, they are just ordinary people and long-term workers. Who are you doing this for?"
"Those officials are more cruel than you and more courageous than you."
"After Ren Ye's death, Mr. Han started to take care of this matter."
"I have checked hundreds of years of things in Yancheng Town. But I am very disappointed. You really didn't cause any trouble."
The emperor's sentence follows sentence.
He checked absolutely carefully, but it was really not worth mentioning. They were used to being squeezed.
It's like a bird that has been kept in a cage for a long time. One day, the cage is opened and it can no longer fly.
"I hope you can give me an explanation about Changzi's matter. There will be a reward for helping solve the case. The children and the elderly have been settled and gone out for a walk.
The girl didn’t marry here to endure hardships with you.”
Seeing Zhang Wei lower his head and blushing, the emperor continued.
He knew that this man was angry, but he couldn't refute what he said, and he was constrained from rising up to resist.
A big family.
Who doesn’t have any worries? There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom. It is not easy to keep a piece of land with children and old people forcing each other.
