Chapter 468: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

Although the Wang family of Gongxian County is a side branch of the Luoyang Wang family, after decades of development, the development of the Wang family of Gongxian County is very rapid, coupled with the support of the Luoyang Wang family, the entire Gong County is the largest Wang family.

The patriarch of the Wang family is an old man who is about sixty years old, and this person is a brother to the patriarch of the Luoyang Wang family, but he is just a concubine and a concubine. More than 40 years ago, the head of the Wang family in Gong County suffered a lawsuit because of a case, and the head of the Luoyang Wang family, that is, their uncle, drove him out of Luoyang. He took his wife and servants to this Gong County and worked hard to create a piece of the world. Of course, his elder brother, now the head of the Luoyang Wang family supports him not less!

It's been 40 years now. The young man who worked hard in Gong County back then is now an old man with gray hair.

Whenever he sees the foundation he has worked hard for, the patriarch of the Wang family always feels an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart. Looking at those shops and fertile fields, it is like looking at your own son.

But when he got up today, the royal patriarch faintly felt that something was wrong, what was wrong, and he couldn't talk about it. At this time, I saw a servant rushing to his side in a panic, and shouted loudly as he ran: "Master, it's not good, there are a lot of soldiers outside, and they have surrounded our house, and they are not allowed to enter or leave!" ”

When the royal patriarch heard this servant say this, he immediately became furious: "Who dares to surround my royal family's mansion? What about the Liang County Order? Is he out there? ”

The servant was embarrassed and said, "Master, I don't know where those soldiers came from, but they are definitely not soldiers from Gong County." The villain was just about to ask them, but those who were soldiers drew their knives and gestured to the little ones, where did the little ones dare to ask! ”

The royal patriarch snorted angrily again: "Don't those who serve as soldiers have a royal law? The old man wants to go and see who has such the courage to surround my Wang family! ”

As he spoke, he walked out. However, before he had taken two steps, he saw another servant rushing over, shouting as he ran: "Master, master, it's not good! Hengxiang Grain Store went up to the shopkeeper and down to the coolies, all of whom were arrested by a group of soldiers, and now they are being held outside the workshop! ”

Hearing this, the footsteps of the Wang family patriarch staggered. Hengxiang grain store, isn't that its own industry? Could it be that the incident was found out? Thinking of this, the old patriarch of the Wang family couldn't help but turn pale.

Just as the patriarch of the Wang family was hesitating, another servant rushed in and shouted, "Master, master, it's not good, the little young master has been arrested by a group of soldiers." All those grain men have been arrested! ”

As soon as he heard the news, the patriarch of the Wang family immediately realized that it was indeed the matter of Luokoucang that had been exposed. Thinking of the benefits that the Wang family has received from Luokoucang over the years, the patriarch of the Wang family couldn't help gritting his teeth. With great benefits, there will also be great crises. I can't panic at this time, otherwise the people below will be in chaos, and there will be no way to end it.

He shouted violently: "What a panic! The old man has lived for more than 60 years, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves, how can he be stopped by this little thing! Come on, give me a quick horse to Luoyang and report this matter to Luoyang's family! After a pause, the patriarch of the Wang family shouted again, "Order the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and the old man will personally invite this leader to probe his tone!" ”

The servants below hurriedly took the order and left.

The son of the patriarch of the king, who could hear the movement, and the mother of the king, all came out of the backyard and arrived at the old patriarch.

Wang Yue's mother was a woman who looked only in her thirties, and she was born with a bit of beauty, but her red lips were thin and looked very snobbish. As soon as she saw the patriarch of the Wang family, the mother of the Wang Yue cried bitterly: "Father-in-law, you have to be the master of your son-in-law!" What are those soldiers who dare to arrest Yue'er......"

She had to say it again, but the patriarch of the Wang family flicked his sleeves impatiently: "Enough!" Don't be embarrassed here! Come out with me, and meet the crowd outside! ”

The patriarch of the Wang family is very powerful, and everyone dare not speak anymore when he makes this statement.

Out of the Wang family's mansion, the head of the Wang family saw a heavily armed soldier standing on the street. They stand scattered, but they can see in every direction. Seeing the tired look on the faces of these soldiers, it must have been a long time to stand here!

The patriarch of the Wang family glanced around, and finally saw a dense crowd of figures at the end of the street. Vaguely, he could still recognize those people, weren't they foodmen? Look at the color of their clothes, a dark green. Right next to the grainmen, he saw a man wearing a high crown and a brocade robe. Looking at the momentum, there is no doubt that he is the leader.

Just when the patriarch of the Wang family looked at Zhang Yunwen, Zhang Yunwen also saw a group of people led by the patriarch of the Wang family come out.

Now that the main owner has come out, Zhang Yunwen did not delay any longer, and directly asked Wang Yue and those shopkeepers of Hengxiang Grain Store to come here. Just as Zhang Yunwen got up, he gnawed down two big buns, and those grain men and the people in the grain store were escorted over. Zhang Yunwen saw that the sergeants were working hard, so he hurriedly asked the store to prepare wine and meat, and greeted these soldiers who had worked hard all night.

When the patriarch came out, the soldiers had just eaten and drunk.

Seeing Zhang Yunwen taking the initiative to walk towards him, the patriarch of the Wang family was stunned at first, could it be that this person was subdued? However, when Zhang Yunwen approached the people of the Wang family, the people of the Wang family saw clearly that one of Wang Yue's faces was swollen like a pig's head.

"Son-" Wang Yue's mother let out a sound, separated everyone, and rushed to Wang Yue's side at once. And the soldier standing next to Wang Yue glanced at the woman helplessly, and then burped.

The cries and curses of Wang Yue's mother filled the streets. The soldier couldn't help but take two steps back. At this time, Wang Yue's mother turned her head violently and stared at Zhang Yunwen desperately: "Did you beat Yue'er?" ”

Before Zhang Yunwen could answer, Wang Yue said vaguely: "Mother, each (this) position is just (Zhang) Yunwen (general) army ......."

Wang Yue's words sounded vague, and his mother thought that Wang Yue was complaining, so she rushed out, like an angry kitten, and her sharp nails grabbed Zhang Yunwen's face.

Zhang Yunwen had long been paying attention to the movement over there, and when he saw his mother's movements, he turned sideways slightly, avoided the grab, and then gently lifted his foot on the crook of his mother's knee. His mother fell to her knees all at once. Just as he was about to get up, a horizontal knife "swished" on his neck.

"Slow down, sir!" The patriarch of the Wang family wanted to let his daughter-in-law come forward to test him. If this official tolerates his daughter-in-law's arrogant behavior everywhere, then it can only show that the official has a cowardly character. To deal with this kind of person, the patriarch of the Wang family is completely sure. Unexpectedly, this official was too unreasonable, and he didn't care that his daughter-in-law was a woman, so he put a knife on his neck, and had no choice but to stop it.

Zhang Yunwen chuckled, looked at the gray-haired old man, and said with a smile: "This must be the patriarch of the Wang family!" ”

The patriarch of the royal family sighed: "This lord is so young, and he looks powerful!" I don't know which adult is in the court? Although he said this, the patriarch of the Wang family knew that the person in front of him must be the new Dongdu Mu. It is said that after this person entered Luoyang, there was no movement, the only movement was to leave Luoyang City, and inspected various states and counties, and I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Gong County, I would make this movement, and it was specifically aimed at the Wang family.

"This official Zhang Yunwen is the post of the pastor of the Eastern Capital!" Zhang Yunwen said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Kokuko-sama! Uh, I don't know how Wang Yue, the grandson of the grass people, and Hengxiang Grain Store offended the adults, and the adults actually arrested them all? The old patriarch stared at Zhang Yunwen and said, looking at that look, as if the Wang family had received some grievances.

Zhang Yunwen coughed lightly and said solemnly: "This matter is the purpose of this official coming to the Wang family!" Wang Yue of the Wang family, Wang Zhong of Hengxiang Grain Store and others are suspected of Luokou Cang fraud case, and they will be detained in the Gongxian Yamen first, and will be dealt with after Dali Temple and the Criminal Department send people to try it! The rest of the Wang family is suspected of being involved, but the Wang family is a local scholar clan and is specially detained in the royal mansion, and only after the case is completed can they enter and leave freely! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, the heart of the Wang family patriarch was turbulent, however, he said: "Lord Guogong, do you have any evidence?" If there is no evidence, how can we arrest people and detain me at will? ”

Zhang Yunwen snorted coldly: "If I had evidence, I would have dragged that Wang Yue and that Wang Zhong to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded them for public display, and would I still be here to grind with you?" But even if there is no evidence, this Wang Yue occupies the important land in the reservoir area, and even the official is not allowed to enter, and the huge Luokou warehouse has become your Wang family's private granary. Come on, take all these people to Gong County Prison! Where is Lieutenant Zhenwu? Order you to take over the Gongxian prison, no one is allowed to trespass, violators will be expelled, and those who do not comply can be killed! Where is Yang Shi? Let you hold the official fish talisman, go to the Tiger Prison Pass, and then transfer 500 elite soldiers to Gong County! ”

Seeing that Zhang Yunwen said it so categorically, this royal patriarch didn't know what to do.

At this time, Zhang Yunwen grinned at the patriarch of the Wang family: "Hehe, the old patriarch is sorry, this official is a military general, and he has always used the simplest and most direct method for this troublesome matter!" Hehe, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope the patriarch will understand! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, the patriarch of the Wang family pointed at Zhang Yunwen and said, "You, you ......" for a long time before he relieved his breath and returned to the Wang family in a huff.
