"Please be the master of our people." The man knelt down and said.

"Please, big brother. That's what I'm going to discuss with you. Wang Laohu said while helping the man up.

"Please tell me, sir." The man said.

"This is not the place to talk, I'll go to the room with you to talk in detail." Wang Laohu said.

The man and woman looked at each other, a little uneasy. But the woman nodded at him anyway.

Wang Laohu said to Wang Biao and Rong Yu: "You two guard the door and don't let anyone enter the house." ”

"Yes." The two of them should take it down.

Wang Laohu and the man went into the room, the others waited in the courtyard, and the villagers were outside the courtyard.

In the room.

An old man was lying on the bed, and this time, he was blinded by Liu Gongzi, and he could only spend the day in the dark.

"Dad, this one is Lord Wang from Hangzhou, and he has come to see you."

The old man was a little excited and wanted to get off the bed, but was stopped by Wang Laohu: "Uncle, your body is not convenient, you can rest on the bed." Wang Laohu said and sat down on a chair next to the bed.

"I am very sympathetic to your misfortune, my sister-in-law had a miscarriage, my uncle lost his sight, and my eldest brother's body was also severely damaged.

"My lord, I know that we poor people have nowhere to redress their grievances, and our county magistrate in Fengchuan is a good official and wants to uphold justice for us, but we know that this official protects each other, and the poor cannot be rich." The old man said.

You know how much reason you eat as much as you eat. Since the bitter people do not fight with the officials, the people do not fight with the rich, everyone understands this principle, and in the era when there were few Qing officials in the Ming Dynasty, occasionally encountered a Qing official, but it was also difficult to be the master of the people.

"Uncle, you know that I came from Hangzhou, and I came here for this matter."

"I know that you are an official in Hangzhou, and you rushed from Hangzhou for this small case, I think you are not for us, or for the murderer." The old man said.

Jiang is really old and spicy, and he can see through the truth of the matter at a glance.

"You already know what I'm here for, so please consider my suggestion." Wang Laohu also told him bluntly.

"You want us to drop accountability?" The old man said.

"Yes." Wang Laohu did not hide it.

"Lord Wang, it turns out that you are in a group with Liu Gongzi." The man said angrily.

"I'm just telling the truth, this matter is no longer something that can be solved by a small county town in Fengchuan." Wang Laohu said.

"Lord Wang, if you take a closer look at my father, my father's eyes will be gone."

"None of us can understand the pain of my uncle. But now that you are not accountable, the best way to go. ”

"The best way, my lord, I thought you came from Hangzhou to be our master, but I didn't expect that you were inferior to the county order of our small county town in Fengchuan."

"Even if I don't come to this matter, there will be other people coming, this matter is just a fuse, your business is a small thing for them, but maybe they have to do something big through this small thing." Wang Laohu said.

"Although what Lord Wang said is a little confused, I can still understand a little, we are just victims." The old man said.

Wang Laohu wanted to say that you are not victims, but at this time, he can't say anything. "Uncle, it's good that you can understand, there will be a court to judge this matter in two days, I hope this matter can be resolved as I said."

"Lord Wang, you say, how do you want us to solve it?" The old man said.

"Withdraw the case, Fengchuan has never had Liu Gongzi beating people at all." Wang Laohu said.

The man was speechless, he didn't expect Wang Laohu to discuss this matter with them.

"What if I don't agree?" The man said.

"If you think about your family, if you think about the rare clean officials in your county, I hope you can agree." Wang Laohu has made it very clear that this matter is actually non-negotiable, whether you agree or disagree, the outcome is the same, but for this small county, there will only be a few more unjust souls.

"Lord Wang, you're right, we can't fight with the rich and the officials at all. You're right. The old man said.

"Justice may come late, but it will not be absent. Uncle, your eyes can't see it, I'll make amends. Wang Laohu had already thought about making some necessary monetary compensation to this poor family.

The old man smiled and said, "Justice? Where is he? "Very impatient and helpless.

Wang Laohu understood what he was thinking, but at this time he couldn't persuade him anymore.

Wang Laohu and the man went out of the room. The county magistrate immediately stepped forward and said to Wang Laohu: "Lord Wang, just now a government official came to report that someone was looking for me, and I want to go back to the government as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, my lord will go back first, and I'll come later."

The county magistrate took a few officials back to the house.

The woman came to the man, she didn't know what was going on inside, and she didn't ask.

Wang Laohu came to the side of the courtyard and said to the villagers around: "Fellow villagers, we are investigating this matter, you should go back first." ”

The villagers gathered outside the courtyard were a little reluctant to leave, but in desperation, these people finally left.

Wang Laohu returned to the courtyard and said to the man, "Your matter has been settled with you...... Before Wang Laohu's words were finished, he heard a sound of light coming from inside the house. The man rushed into the room, only to hear a few shouts of "Daddy, Daddy" coming from inside the room. Wang Laohu heard that it was not good outside, and he also rushed into the house.

When he entered the house, he saw such a scene, the old man wanted to get out of bed, and broke a bowl that was placed beside him, and the sharp edge of the bowl cut one of the old man's hands, and his hands were covered with blood.

The woman then rushed to the house

Seeing such a bloody scene, she looked a little faint, and her hand tightly covered her mouth. Wang Laohu hurriedly said: "Wang Biao, help my sister-in-law out." ”

Wang Laohu asked the man to find a white cloth and bandage the old man's hand.

The old man went back to bed.

"Uncle, this stupid thing can't be done. There are ten things that go wrong in life, but before you go, you have to think about your son, your daughter-in-law, and your grandson who will be born in the future. Judging from his demeanor and the bowl he broken, Wang Laohu was going to do something stupid, so Wang Laohu said this.

The old man was silent.

The man said: "Lord Wang, don't say anything, who made us poor and bullied, we can only swallow our anger like this, and we can't do anything." ”

"It's okay for you to complain to me, I come from the toiling masses and understand you, if you change to someone else, not only will you not understand you, but you may also be killed." Wang Laohu was not alarmist when he said this, and at that time, some things could not be said nonsense.

"Lord Wang." The old man suddenly said, "I can feel that you are different from others, but you are still the same as other officials, ignoring the people. ”

"Uncle, I still say the same thing, justice will not be absent. If I were in my place, I would give you an account one day. Wang Laohu said.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day."

"For the sake of this day, you have to live it well." Wang Laohu said.

In a blink of an eye, it was lunch time, but the woman was delayed in cooking, and she was a little embarrassed. She walked in from outside, paced out again, and after a few times, the man asked her, "Have you cooked?" ”

The woman looked impatient, didn't speak for a long time, and finally said, "There is no rice at home." ”

"What's in the house?" The man asked.

"And some potatoes, corn."

"If it's good or bad, make some potatoes." The man said, "Lord Wang will have a light meal at my house today. Originally, this was a man's unintentional words, so he casually said how these officials could eat at a people's house, and they ate potatoes.

Unexpectedly, Wang Laohu said, "Okay, I'll have lunch at your house today." This statement caught men and women off guard.

Soon the meal was ready.

Wang Laohu and this family sat on a square table to eat together, in front of each person was a bowl of thin porridge, faint, without a few grains of rice, in the middle of the square table there were three bowls of staple food, one bowl is potatoes, two bowls are corn buds, yellow cancan. Before Wang Laohu didn't do it, they were embarrassed to do it, although this is their home, they are the masters, but today because of Wang Laohu's arrival, it is different.

Wang Laohu picked up a potato, handed it to the old man, and said, "Uncle, it's time to eat." ”

This Chinese food made Wang Laohu unforgettable.

Later, Wang Laohu sent some rice and some vegetables in season to the family.
