Chapter 262: Doing the Right Way for Heaven
"Look up."
"Yes." The old man raised his head tremblingly.
There seemed to be an indescribable resentment and despair written on his weather-beaten face.
"What's your name?"
"Xiaomin Yushi."
"Why are you shouting injustice here from King Lone?"
Hearing Liu Wen ask, the old man's tears flowed down at once, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xiaomin was persecuted by the Jin Yuan outside his hometown, not only was the land taken away, his daughter was occupied, but also his wife, son, and daughter-in-law were all killed, and the family was ruined!" β
After Tang Laohan finished speaking, he lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
Liu Wen listened to his bitterness, felt a little uncomfortable, and asked, "How did Jin Yuanwai harm you, tell me in detail." β
When Tang Laohan heard this, he felt that Liu Wen might be the master for himself, and at this moment he was bent on avenging his family, and he was not afraid, and said:
"Although Xiao Lao'er is not rich in his hometown, he also has more than a dozen acres of thin fields. The family is also free of food and clothing. About half a month ago, when the surnamed Jin came back from going out, he met the little girl on the way, and because he saw that the little girl was a little beautiful, he made a joke, saying that he wanted to take the little girl as a concubine. β
"Although we are not a rich family, we are also sensible, the little girl has already been married to others, how can we go to them as concubines? So he rejected him with righteous words, and hurried home. β
Unexpectedly, the man surnamed Jin followed, and even wanted to let a few domestic servants rob people. My son was so anxious that he picked up the farm tools and drank them back. β
"Xiao Lao'er thought that things were going to happen at that time, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Tang Laohan wiped his tears with his oily sleeves, choked up: "A few days later, my son and daughter-in-law disappeared shortly after they went to work in the fields, and then, and then ......."
"And then what's wrong?"
"Then the one surnamed Jin asked his evil servant to send back two corpses, saying that they went to Jinfu to steal things, and fell down and died when they climbed over the wall!" After Tang Laohan finished speaking, he cried loudly: "My poor son! And my daughter-in-law there! They have never done anything greedy and cheap, how can they have the audacity to go to the Golden Mansion to steal things......"
At this time, the two children next to him also started crying.
Liu Wen frowned, and his heart was not very comfortable, only listening to Tang Laohan crying while saying intermittently:
"The man surnamed Jin said that my son and daughter-in-law broke their family's utensils and made the little old man lose money...... The little old man and his wife reasoned with them, but they didn't listen, so they sent our family to the government...... In the end, the county magistrate decided that we should pay back the one hundred taels surnamed Jin, and we couldn't get the money, so the land was taken away by force. My wife was so angry that she died of anger on the spot......"
"Who told you to come to me and cry out?"
"Xiao Lao'er has heard that this emperor in Jiangnan is most afraid of King Song. The little old man shouted that there was no way out, so he dared to disturb Wang Jia. β

"Someone!" Liu Wen drank heavily.
"In!" A military officer replied.
"Prepare a carriage for the three old men."
"Yes!"
Liu Wen thought about it, and did not organize people, but sent people to recruit Shi Jianjiao, Lu Wenlong, and Gao Jineng, and then brought Luo Shixin, five people and five horses, and let a tool man drive the carriage, all the way south, to Wukang.
Because there is no army, there are no obstacles along the way, and some people even think that this is just an ordinary high-roller.
Three days later, the group came to Wukang County.
I saw that there were a lot of people here, and in the conspicuous place of the road, there were a few men with heavy flails, and a group of people who looked like officials were gloating on the side, and there was even a seven or eight-year-old child, standing beside the man with the flail and crying.
An official said loudly without mercy: "See? This is what happens if you can't afford to pay back! Jin Yuanwai had already sued the government, and the county magistrate ordered to take the flail to show the public for three days, and use the family's fifteen acres of land to pay off the debt. β
Liu Wen frowned, "This Wukang is not far from Yang Liang's capital Jiankang, and it is so chaotic. Has the land annexation in Jiangnan been snatched to this extent? β
He had not seen anything like this before, but he had never seen officials and landlords so unscrupulously harming the people.
Liu Wen and his entourage went straight to the county office, only to see some people crying and crying out for injustice.
"Let's go! Check it out! β
Liu Wen said, riding a horse and rushing into the county hall.
"Who dares to be so bold!"
A servant drew a knife and stepped forward, Liu Wen raised a halberd in his hand, and with a poof, he slapped the official seven or eight meters away, and fell to the ground with a pop, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Listen up!" Liu Wen shouted, as if a thunderbolt sounded in the clear sky, and the surroundings couldn't help but be quiet, and everyone looked at him in a daze.
"The lonely king is Liu Wen, the king of Song!"
"What!"
"King Song?!"
"Did he lead the troops to call?"
Suddenly, there were a few exclamations, a famous official, turned around and ran in the direction of the outside of the city, just passing by Shi Jianjian's side, Shi Jianjiao picked up a knife, waved it in two sections, and shouted: "The king is here, and he doesn't kneel down to greet him!" β
Seeing that he was so fierce, the other officials quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Humph!"
Liu Wen went straight to at least enter the county office, the county master had already heard the sound outside, and at this moment, when he saw Liu Wen riding on a tall horse, he was so frightened that he was like sifting chaff, sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to do.
"You thief, don't let the lonely king get out of the way!"
When the county order heard it, he quickly got out of the way, knelt down tremblingly, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Humph!"
Liu Wen didn't bother to look at him, turned over and dismounted, patted the chestnut-skinned yellow tiger, let it stay aside, and when he arrived at the door, he turned the halberd in his hand upside down and inserted it, and with a click, the stone slab was crushed, and the halberd blade was almost completely submerged into the ground.
"Lu Wenlong, Gao Jineng!"
"The last general!"
"Gather the people around you and let them listen."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the two went to the yawai and loudly called the people over, saying that the king of Song would personally try the case.
When the people heard him say this, they were a little unafraid, because they were curious in their hearts, and they gathered one after another, and at the same time kept whispering.
"So this is King Song?"
"Looks so young."
"King Song is only twenty years old this year, of course he is young!"
"Didn't you say that King Song was three feet tall and had a copper head and iron forehead? But you see ......."
"You can also believe the legend, if the King of Song looks like that, the emperor can marry his favorite daughter to him?"
"I really didn't expect that this King Song is so handsome, and his martial arts are high, if he doesn't have a bad mind, he is really a favorite offspring."
"King Song is Yang Liang's mortal enemy, of course Yang Liang has to spare no effort to smear him, and besides, King Song is right in front of him, and he dares to say such things, he doesn't want to live?!"
When he saw that the people had gathered, Liu Wen snapped a shocked look and said loudly: "This king came to Wukang today to do the right thing for heaven!" β
When everyone heard this, they all drove Liu Wen curiously, not knowing how he wanted to do the right thing for heaven.
