Chapter 32: Forty Thousand
Many people gathered in front of the Wang's house, and the neighbors also came out to watch, and the scene was very chaotic. In view of the fact that Wang Tianyou is the only male grandson of the Wang family, after he was sentenced to fifty canes, Mrs. Wang spent a lot of money to take him home, and prepared to carefully treat him for a few days before sending him to Lingnan. But Wang Xiangqian's past deeds were too rampant, offending many people, and now that the Wang family has been convicted, they naturally fall into the well one after another, trying to beat him to death.
Immediately, someone went to the court, saying that the Wang family bribed the government with the intention of shielding the criminals. The crown prince and Xiao Guifei have long regarded Wang Xiangqian as an outcast, where will they protect him? On the contrary, because of his personal virtues, he ruined the reputation of the prince, and he hated to dispose of him as well. Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, an official messenger came to the door and wanted to escort Wang Tianyou, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, to Lingnan.
The Lin family is vicious, Wang Xiangqian's beautiful concubines were all sterilized by her, but they were lucky to escape, and the children they gave birth to were also secretly killed. In the end, except for the son-in-law who "died violently" in the early years, he only has a son and a daughter under his knees, that is, Wang Tianyou and Wang Junxi.
The Lingnan Mountains are poor, evil, and full of miasma, and none of the people who were assigned here came back alive. And Wang Tianyou has a stick wound, and the chance of survival is even slimmer, and he may return to the west halfway. Seeing that the only seedling of the Wang family was about to break its roots, Mo said that Wang Xiangqian's heart was painful, and the old lady and the old lady were about to go crazy.
As soon as the housekeeper explained his intentions, he was driven away by the concierge of the prince's mansion, and after a short time, he also sent his subordinate officials to bring a message to the officials, saying that they should handle it impartially. Wang Xiangqian embezzled millions of military salaries, which caused the prestige of the prince to be greatly damaged, and he was often impeached and attacked by the queen mother and the seven princes in the court.
The official sent the letter to break into the door immediately, and dragged Wang Tianyou, who was seriously injured in bed, to the door. Lin didn't let him, hugged his son's legs and cried, and Mrs. Wang also followed, and the seventy or eighty-year-old man knelt down and kowtowed on the spot. The old lady and Wang Xiangqian felt ashamed, but they couldn't bear Wang Tianyou to die halfway, so they had to go forward to negotiate with the official messenger, trying to delay for a while longer, so that they could wait for the injury to heal.
Wang Tianyou was an extremely rampant fool, and he didn't know how to repent at this time, because he was hit by the official messenger, he actually pointed at them and scolded them, and asked Wang Xiangqian to cut down all these people.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded, and they got together to discuss:
"Hey, the Wang family is so powerful!"
"Yes, even the emperor can't say that whoever is cut will be cut, they are good, and whoever is not pleasing to the eye will be cleaned up!"
"Who called the Wang family to have only this one single seedling? Since I was a child, I wanted the stars not to give the moon, I wanted to kill people, and my mother and sister also helped to find candidates, which was a loss of conscience! ”
"If you want me to say, wandering for 3,000 miles is considered light, and you should be beheaded to show the public!"
"And his father, who was greedy for millions of military salaries, was only sentenced to dismissal, and the prince still remembered the old feelings."
"Where is the nostalgia for the old, because Wang Xiangqian knows too much about that master's dirty things, it's not easy to deal with."
Speaking of this, everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and kept it secretive.
It was at this time that Shu passed by the palace and was attracted by the noisy scene. He pressed his mental strength into his eyes, and the scene he saw was immediately different from ordinary people. I saw Wang Tianyou lying on the ground, his clothes on his buttocks were stained red with blood, and the two little ghosts sat on his wound and scratched hard, and the other sat on the top of his head and vomited black gas. And the thousand-faced ghost behind Wang Xiangqian was even more terrifying, trying to stuff himself into the other party's mouth, but his brain was a little dull, and he couldn't get the point after squeezing for a long time, and he looked very annoyed.
"Hey, it's him?" Another faint black shadow was found next to the thousand-faced ghost, and Youshu couldn't help but murmur. It turned out that the debt collector who had not shown up for a long time did not escape, but hid beside Wang Xiangqian. Because Wang Xiangqian was angry before, it was difficult to provoke, and he could only find another way to recover his debts, so the debt collectors would haunt Youshu. But now, Wang Xiangqian's evil qi was devoured by the thousand-faced ghost little by little and turned into his own use, and the longevity of Fu Lu was also wiped out, so he naturally went back.
It is said that ghosts are afraid of the wicked, which is true, but if they can find the right master for revenge, how can they miss the opportunity? Not only did the thousand-faced ghost want to drill into Wang Xiangqian's mouth, but even the debt collector ghost did the same.
"What kind of road is this?" Youshu was puzzled, and squeezed in with a mallet fruit to watch the excitement.
Ji Changye had no choice but to follow, lining up the crowd while pulling the young man into his arms and protecting him firmly.
At this time, the patience of the officials had run out, and they pulled Lin away with a few strokes, grabbed Wang Tianyou's two arms and dragged them into the prisoner cart. One of the two little ghosts rode on his neck, picking out his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and the other followed behind him, kicking his bloody wound one by one.
Others only thought that his wound was painful, but Youshu found it extremely interesting, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile. At this moment, the two little ghosts also saw him, and hurriedly said, "My lord, our sister and brother will go to Lingnan with him." His time is short, and he will die in a few hours, and seeing that our wish is about to be fulfilled, I hereby bid farewell to my lords. If there is an afterlife, it will be determined that the adult will be a cow and a horse, and a grass ring! ”
Youshu shook her head without a trace, indicating that she didn't want anything from them, and waved her hand to see them off when the prisoner cart started slowly.
This move was seen by the Wang family, only when he gloated and fell into the well, don't say that Wang Tianyou roared like crazy, even Wang Xiangqian, who had always been calm, lost his mind, took a few steps forward and grabbed the young man's clothes, and roared angrily, "Evil animal, did you do it?" Isn't it? If I had known this, I should have strangled you with my own hands! ”
Ji Changye was about to kick Wang Xiangqian away, but Youshu made the first move. He punched Wang Xiangqian's head off, bent his left knee and hit the opponent's abdomen, and when the other party bent over and screamed in pain, he reached out and grabbed the thousand-faced ghost. The two or three zhang tall ghosts burned and howled miserably, and he was gathered into a fist-sized ball of thick black mist by him three or two times, and stuffed it into Wang Xiangqian's mouth.
Others will only cover their mouths when he can't hear the howl, and they don't know what filthy and evil thing he has just sent into someone's stomach. After doing this, Youshu raised her eyes to look at the panicked debt collector.
The debt collector was afraid of this evil god, and hurriedly shrunk himself into a ball, and begged, "There is no need to work adults, and the little ones can go in!" The words had disappeared into Wang Xiangqian's mouth.
Wang Xiangqian's stomach was hit hard, and he was cramped for a while, so he didn't notice anything wrong. The old lady Wang and the old lady Wang were still immersed in grief, and when they saw their son being beaten, they immediately ordered the servants to separate the two in the struggle. They were so angry that their faces turned pale, but they couldn't reveal Youshu's identity on the spot, and when they saw others talking to each other, they seemed to be discussing the relationship between Youshu and the Wang family, so they had to turn around and go back to the house and close the door.
Mrs. Wang looked back frequently, as if she was reluctant to be a teenager. If Wang Tianyou dies outside, the other party is the only descendant of the Wang family, and if he can recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he can pass on the family. But the old lady Wang thought deeper and farther: the young man had no feelings for the Wang family, only hatred, and recognized him back, if he didn't get it right, he would lure the wolf into the house, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"Don't look any further. Xiang Qian is still young, how many concubines do you have, how many heirs do you want? Hmph, my Wang family can't tolerate this kind of unscrupulous descendants! The old man's tone was extremely cold, and he glanced at Youshu without a trace.
Others only thought he was talking about Wang Tianyou, but Youshu knew that he was insinuating himself. Take a concubine and give birth to a son? I also want Wang Xiangqian to have that life! Although I don't understand why the thousand-faced ghost and the debt collector ghost drilled into Wang Xiangqian's body, I think it's not a good thing!
When the old lady heard this, she also regained her composure, walked in with her crutches, and when she saw Lin who was still lying on the ground, she was immediately angry, and sent someone to carry her back while scolding the mourning star. The Wang family has fallen to such a state, all thanks to this woman. If she hadn't been straightened in the first place, nothing would have happened. If Wang Tianyou dies outside, she doesn't have to live, mother and son go to Huangquan to get together! As for Wang Junxi, it can be sent to any temple.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang think so openly, it can be seen that "ruthlessness" is the heirloom of the Wang family, and it is no wonder that they raised a son like Wang Xiangqian and gave birth to a grandson like Wang Tianyou. Youshu shook her head secretly, untied the purse around her waist, and threw it towards the gate that was about to close, "This is the forty taels of silver I owe to the Wang family, and now it is clear." The words fell, leading the master to squeeze out of the crowd.
Wow, it turned out to be a debtor! The spectators also dispersed.
The porter was struck in the face by the silver, and crouched down - wailing incessantly. Old lady Wang trembled with anger and roared, "Throw it out, don't dirty the lintel of our house!" "Where is the reason why an elder brother frames his younger brother and a son beats his father? This evil beast is rotten from the roots, and it should have been strangled to death when it was born!
The porter agreed, but quickly untied his purse and threw it out, hiding Youshu in his sleeve pocket.
In the evening, Lin and Wang Junxi hid in the house and wept, each with a package in their hands, with only a few clothes and a few simple pieces of jewelry in it. The old lady has already sent a message, and as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning, she will send them to the Ganye Temple. Most of the sinners in Beijing are sent here, not only do they have to do hard labor every day to atone for their sins, but they will also be wantonly humiliated by bhikshunis, and within a few years, they will be no one and no ghost, but they will die happily.
When he sent the Song family away, the Lin family never thought that he would suffer the same crime, and because his son did not know the life and death, he felt discouraged for a while. She cried so much that she almost fainted, which made Wang Junxi cry bitterly.
She-the-nurse was also faithful, and not only did she not want to leave, but she stepped forward to comfort, "Madame, Miss, don't cry. Young master, he has been strong and strong since he was a child, and he will definitely be able to survive it. After a few years, you will beg the master again, for the sake of the young master being the only heir of the Wang family, the master will find a way to take him back. ”
"But the old lady said, let the old man take a few more concubines. They don't want to care about God blessed! Lin pounded his chest vigorously.
"You can just feed the old man a dose of that medicine." The nurse is worthy of being the military advisor of the Lin family, and she gets to the point in one sentence.
The cries of the Lin family and Wang Junxi stopped abruptly, and at this moment, the maid's exclamation came from outside the courtyard, "Oh no, the official sent a letter over, saying that the young master had just died out of the Shili Pavilion, and now the body is placed at the gate!" Madame, go and see! ”
Lin stood up abruptly, and just a few steps out of the running was collapsed to the ground. Wang Junxi lay on her stomach and cried bitterly, her voice was extremely miserable.
