The 26th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar

Wang Lanling was in a meeting with his subordinates to discuss the issue when he heard crying outside.

Bian Shiying was about to go out to see who was making a noise, when he saw a person running in.

Wei Biao said: "My lord! Wangjiabao sent people over, just now a team of officers and soldiers surrounded Wangjiabao, all wearing military uniforms, the people in the fort were all controlled, and a few people died! ”

After hearing this, Wang Lanling quickly got up, frowning and thinking about things, "Who is leading the troops?" ”

Wei Biao hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know, there are people from the Wang family outside, let him say it." ”

Wang Lanling walked out directly, and the rest of the people in the tent also followed out worriedly.

After arriving outside the camp, Wang Lanling saw the two uncles of the Wang family.

When Wang Xuetan saw Wang Lanling come out, it was as if he saw Wang Lanling's dead father, and quickly cried and shouted: "Platinum son! You have to save our Wang family! Far away! It's a big vision! ”

Wang Lanling quickly said: "Don't cry, hurry up and tell me what is the matter, why are the people in the county city arresting you?" ”

Wang Xuetan choked up and said: "Early this morning, some officers and soldiers rushed into our house, they said that your grandfather bribed officials to interfere with the selection of officials, said that your second uncle set up a private casino, said that your uncle gave money loans, and said that your uncles and uncles stole things from the yamen. It's really a long-distance view! ”

Depend on...... Is this one wronged? It's all far away!

Obviously, this is revenge from Yunshui County.

But this ...... It's really a sure thing, Wang Lanling can be sure, there is no one wronged in this!

This is really a scalp numbness thing, Wang Lanling quickly said to the people around him: "Tong Yue, you go to Sangmu Town, take a look at the situation on my brother's side, be careful not to make a big deal about it, and come back and tell me if you inquire about the matter!" ”

Tong Yue: "Yes! ”

After asking Tong Yue to inquire about the news, Wang Lanling quickly thought about the current countermeasures.

This game is simply unsolvable, Wang Lanling thought that those people would be the master of the food problem, but he didn't expect these people to be so indiscriminate.

But it can't be refuted, although this trick is bad, it really makes Wang Lanling unable to advance or retreat.

No matter if it doesn't work, there is no way to manage it, the evidence over there is absolutely conclusive.

As Wang Lanling was thinking indecisively there, the people around him looked at Wang Lanling's current situation, and they were somewhat shaken.

The county and the county are against each other, where will there be a good end.

Among these people who rely on Wang Lanling, most of them are people from major families, and these people have retreated because of the affairs of the Wang family at this time.

In fact, the last time Wang Lanling scolded the governor, many people felt a period of fear, and now the people in the county have really retaliated, and these people naturally realize that the place where they are has become a dangerous wall.

Opening casinos and lending usury are normal things in major families, and it is also normal to take something from the public.

Once Wang Lanling can't give these people confidence, then these speculators will naturally leave, or even beat them up!

These people belong to speculators, they give money and food, and contribute people, not for the construction project of Heishui County, but to get benefits from Wang Lanling, and it is Wang Lanling who invests!

Wang Lanling really couldn't think of any good way, so he said to Liu Fugong: "Liu Fugong, you go to the county government to ask about the situation, the governor should know something about this matter." ”

Liu Fufeng said embarrassedly: "Adult, the villain is old and young, this is ......"

Wang Lanling was taken aback, and after getting used to it, this first opponent made him quickly wake up and realize what was going on with his subordinates.

However, Wang Lanling quickly calmed down, nodded at Liu Fugong and said, "In that case, then you can go home." ”

"Although saying this kind of thing at this time somewhat shakes everyone's confidence and fighting spirit, I understand your difficulties, what your family lent me, I will return it in full, life is varied, I will meet many people in this life, but most of them are passers-by."

Wang Lanling looked at the rest of the people, "Liu Fufeng hasn't come back for the time being, I think he shouldn't be able to come back in the past few days, everyone knows the matter between me and the county governor, why I offended the governor, you also know it." ”

"If you are willing to go, then let's go, I said at the beginning, all the responsibility is borne by me alone, this word also counts now, you leave now, those people will naturally not embarrass you."

Wei Xueyi, who was in the cadre group, walked out, clasped his fists and said: "I'm sorry, Lord Wang, my brother is still a court official, and we don't have a father-in-law who is the inspection department like Lord Wang." ”

Wang Lanling nodded, clasping his hands into fists.

"Okay, please rest assured, I will definitely return all the money and food, don't worry about this, everyone knows each other, works together, don't say too many kind words at the same time, leave quietly, so as not to be embarrassed."

With Wei Xueyi taking the lead, Liu Fugong, Liu Zhiqing, and Liu Shoucheng ...... The young and middle-aged scribes sent by each family all withdrew one by one.

The cadre group soon became empty, and less than one-fifth of the original number remained.

A few villagers in the neighborhood also left, and when some of them were about to leave, they were pulled down by the people around them and stood in place again, basically the number of people did not change.

Wang Lanling stood in place and waited, and after more than ten minutes, basically no one moved.

"Thank you, everyone! I am not alone! Wang Lanling gathered his hands in front of him, bowed deeply to the people around him in a gesture of incense.

Chi Donglai said casually: "My lord, what should you do next?" We are all people of the mountains, but we also understand what is good and what is bad. ”

Bian Shiying also quickly said: "My lord, if there is anything you can order, just ask!" I've long seen those people unpleasant, usually arrogant, and at the critical moment, one by one runs faster than a rabbit! ”

Hu Guiqiao said seriously: "My lord, you have taught me a lot of things, what you do is a matter of benevolence and righteousness, but unfortunately there are too few people who can really recognize righteousness." ”

This is not the time to continue to be confused, only by stabilizing this team as soon as possible can you have the time to fight back!

"I don't hide it, I also know about the Wang family, this is not the Wang family's business, I already knew that those people were hiding dirt, but because those people were my elders, I didn't stop it, I just thought that the clean ones would clean themselves, and the turbid ones would be turbid."

"Some people will be scared because there is a leak in their hearts, today's Wang family's affairs are indeed my affairs, but how can I delay state affairs because of private matters?"

"Continue to stabilize the river embankment, and those who should enter the city to repair the canal will also go in to repair the canal, I will be here for a day, and I should protect everyone's safety for a day!"

Soon, the laborers went on to work, but today the atmosphere was noticeably much lower, and there was no eagerness and fighting spirit that had been lost in the past.

Wang Lanling is also very distressed, he is planted this time!

But he couldn't think of a better way at all, no matter what, he couldn't keep those people in the Wang family.

The evidence must be conclusive, if Wang Lanling dares to obstruct the county's law enforcement, then the crime is not small.

Struggle is struggle, and those who move the army are taboo.

Wang Lanling stood by the river and watched, and soon saw some people in military uniforms, pulling the people of the Wang family to the river in rows, and then waiting for the grain ship in the county.

The grain transporter, a man he did not know, shouted as he approached this side of the embankment:

"Wang Lanling is here?! The county keeper sent me to bring you cold! Why don't we unload the grain quickly, so that we can take away the sinners of the royal family!" ”

Wang Lanling had a gloomy face and asked people to carry grain, ignoring the cries of the Wang family on the shore.

The Wang family kept begging Wang Lanling to save them, and when they saw that Wang Lanling was indifferent, they turned to scolding, scolding Wang Lanling for his wolf heart and lungs in front of more than 10,000 people.

Wang Xuejin shouted loudly: "Wang Lanling! You have no ancestors! You are not worthy of my royal family! It's all because of you that my Wang family has this end! You don't have to die well! ”

Wang Lanling quietly looked at the people who were carrying the grain, as if they hadn't heard it.

The brocade-clothed man standing beside Wang Xuejin said with a smile at this time: "Be louder, otherwise you will inevitably suffer from flesh and skin after getting on the boat!" ”

Wang Xuejin pulled his neck, jumped to his feet and shouted loudly: "Wang Lanling! You! You're a son! You're just like your brother, a bastard! ”

Wang Lanling's eyes turned to the place where the Wang family and the army had gathered, and walked over.

At this time, Chi Donglai, Hu Guiqiao, Du Sheng and others also followed.

Li Jianzhu hesitated, but still didn't follow, for fear of being familiar to those people.

The soldiers, who had seen the jokes before, quickly turned serious at this time and waited for them.

Wang Lanling slowly walked to the position by the river and looked at the man beside Wang Xuejin.

"What's your name?"

The man said with a hippie smile: "I'm just a small person, my name is not worth mentioning, what does Lord Wang ask for my name?" I have been in the army all the year round, so does Lord Wang still have to come to the army to find me for a drink? ”

Wang Lanling said: "I have always respected the soldiers, because they defend the country, drive the enemy prisoners outside, suppress treachery and evil inside, and have a righteous spirit in their hearts. ”

"Ask your name to know if you are surnamed Yun or Xia, but I think it shouldn't be, I believe that just like this river, the gravel will eventually sink into the sludge, and the clear water will float on the waves, knowing your name, it will be forgotten in a blink of an eye, that's it, that's it."

Wang Lanling turned around and left, ignoring these small things.

The man didn't let Wang Xuejin and the rest scold Wang Lanling anymore, and after Wang Lanling left, he squeezed out a smile when he felt that he couldn't get over his face, and showed an indifferent smile to his companions around him.

"This kid, see how many more days he can run rampant!" He spoke arrogantly, as if it was not worth worrying about Wang Lanling now.

The people around them are quiet, although they are all their own people, but sometimes their own people know better what their own people are.

After the grain was transported, the Wang family was escorted to the boat, and at this time they cried loudly again, either begging Wang Lanling, or insulting Wang Lanling.

Wang Lanling sighed, these people are really to blame, but they do have something to do with him, they are involved.

Today's wind and sun are beautiful, but Wang Lanling's mood is very bad, and the hearts of the entire camp have begun to disperse.

When people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead.

Yin Wuwu didn't have a way, this was what he was guarding against, but there were too many smart people around Yun Tiantian, and those people knew very well how to use their power advantage.

Wang Lanling has the emperor's favor, but he can only guarantee that he has no big problems, but the rest of the people can't be saved, and even because of these people, they will be affected.

It is impossible for the emperor to protect Wang Lanling's whole family, as long as the people in the county continue to use the resources and rights at hand to squeeze Wang Lanling's activity space, then Wang Lanling must not be able to do anything.

When he returned to the camp, Wang Lanling saw someone waiting for him at the camp gate, still a beautiful woman holding a child.

"Brother Ling! You're back, my in-laws and children have been taken away, and I went out in the morning to collect the bills to escape, what can I do now?! ”

Xu Baifeng was very anxious, she wanted to go back to her parents' house after she was arrested at the Wang family today, but the people at her mother's house didn't open the door for her at all, so she could only come to Wang Lanling with the child.

The people of the Wang family were all arrested, not counting the slaves, everyone who was in the Wang family was taken to the county together, including Xu Baifeng's mother-in-law and several of her children.

Looking at Xu Baifeng, who was holding the child, his originally fair face was already gray, the ends of his hair were messed up a lot, and there was no one around him to follow, which was very pitiful.

Wang Lanling sighed, "Let's go to my tent to rest first, I'll find you something to eat first, don't worry too much about the child's affairs, although they are all crimes, but they are not capital crimes, they should be locked up for a few years, and the children will also be sent to the orphanage to take care of, and I will help you come back after this incident." ”

Xu Baifeng could only rely on Wang Lanling at this time, with tearful eyes and pear blossoms, a pitiful face and low eyebrows, and responded.

If you want to talk about usury, this woman also has a share, but Wang Lanling obviously will not hand over Xu Baifeng.

It's not a usury thing, it's a struggle!

But to say that these people are innocent, it is also nonsense, Wang Lanling does not feel that these people are wronged, but the timing of these people being arrested is not very good, and it obviously affects himself.

It is impossible to save people, it is illegal to save these people, where does he have the face to let the people in the county accommodate him?

If he hadn't been arrested at this time, he would have been arrested a few months earlier, and Wang Lanling would have even gone back to drink a cup at night, these unlucky things!

When you think of me when you have something, you scold me for being disregardful, taking advantage of me when you are separating, and lending money and bullying people in my name, why don't you want to take care of your feelings?

In the evening, Wang Lanling asked Hu Shi and Hu Sangbao to take Xu Baifeng back, and temporarily lived in his house first, the camp was already unstable, and it was impossible for Wang Lanling to leave a woman in his tent for the night.

Because there are a lot of well-fed uncles here in the camp, and because a hundred tons of grain came, the food problem has been alleviated, but now it is not a food problem.

It's really sad!

The 26th passed, Wang Lanling couldn't sleep anxiously all night, and entered the 27th in agony.

That is, when Wang Lanling insisted on another day in a daze, on the afternoon of the 27th, ten people who were ready to go got on the train.

From Longzhou to Yunzhou, from Yunzhou Mansion to Yunshui County!

The real brocade guard, dispatched!
