Chapter 47: The Story of Wang Dagui

It is said that it is a cousin, which means that the previous generations were still brothers, but now they are in different tributaries, but they are also a family, and the ancestors worshiped every year are the same. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason for the cousin's accident was that the cousin-in-law was bullied by the bullies in their village, and the cousin was alone with a shovel and wanted to seek justice, but he didn't expect that the bully in their village was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he had already ambushed them near their home, and as soon as his cousin came out, the bully asked people to break his legs, and then after slighting the cousin-in-law again, he threw them on the bed and burned them to death!

If it weren't for his cousin's son who was addicted to gambling and took his younger brother with him in order to hide that he didn't go to the farm, his cousin's youngest son would probably have died.

The eldest son of the cousin brought his younger brother to find Wang Dagui, Wang Dagui was also very righteous, and at that time he took the Bailai Zhuang of Niujia Village, carrying shovels, shovels and other iron tools to the next village, but the bully found Chen Sanqiang, the fight was not completed, and there was a lack of relevant evidence, so the bully who did the bad thing just paid Wang Dagui twenty taels of silver and it was over.

People say that Wang Dagui saw the money and opened his eyes, and twenty taels of silver could buy the lives of his cousin and sister-in-law, and after returning from the next village, he didn't marry anymore, and his cousin's widow didn't take care of him, and he knew that he would eat, drink and have fun as usual every day, if it wasn't for the people in the same village, his cousin's second son would probably starve to death in the farmland!

From the perspective of Song this article, Wang Dagui is making straw shoes for a little child, and that child is his cousin's second son, which shows that this person is affectionate and righteous, but due to the power of the Qingzhu Gang and feudal stereotypes, he does not dare to mention revenge, but now, this is a good entry point.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Jiwen said: "Alas, I said Brother Wang, your straw sandals are woven for your little nephew, and the craftsmanship is good!" It should look like it fits perfectly! ”

When Wang Dagui heard that the other party actually knew that he had two nephews? That's the only living relative of my life now! The work in his hand suddenly paused, and then continued to pick it up, grinning, and said, "Hey, yes! I also think that when I was a child, I followed my father to learn this, and I haven't played it for a long time, but I still remember some of it. The nephew is from the hall, and he is not close to me, but his brother has him. ”

Since Wang Dagui is still thinking about his cousin, he doesn't sleep early in the morning and knits shoes for him, which proves that what happened to his cousin's family has become a knot in his heart, and it is not difficult to untie it, just kill the bully in the next village.

Song Jiwen thought like this, although he was a literati, he had been in Juyitang for many years, and he knew that the person who had done things had to use some means or tricks to get what he wanted at a special time, so many times, the fight and killing that he did not advocate was the simplest and most effective way to solve the problem, and sometimes it was the only way.

The two continued to talk one by one, Song Jiwen noticed that Wang Dagui, who was excited to play with the girl last night, now when he talked about his family, the ruffian hooligan's anger was gone, and the posture of the chief was gone, and the person instantly aged more than ten years.

The two sat on a small stool next to the thatched hut and talked for a long time, Wang Dagui opened his heart to Song Benwen, saying that he could never forget that his two nephews were still braving the heavy rain in winter that day, crying and running barefoot to the door of his house, right next to the wooden stake where Song Jiwen sat last night, kowtowing and begging himself to avenge their parents......

It is impossible for him to forget that at the negotiation table, the Zhao bully from the next village sat opposite him, with an innocent face, a brother, and he was called a kiss! But after learning that twenty taels of silver would be enough, the smug smile on the face of the surnamed Zhao was really disgusting!

Speaking of which, Wang Dagui is not afraid to tell the truth to Song Benwen about the development of the few pieces of land in the village, those hundreds of acres of land a few years ago due to the lack of men in the village, and the gods are not beautiful, so where are they wasted.

Now King Cheng said that he would cultivate land and plant new things, which was originally a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it went smoothly at first, but then the Mongolian army came, and all kinds of rumors in the village also spread, and several of King Cheng's subordinates and cronies hit them as farmers.

At first, they just deducted the villagers' wages and finished products, and the practice was roughly the same as that of the Yuan Dynasty, which was acceptable to both sides, but it was estimated that the magnates who were their officials saw that the people in their villages were easy to bully, so they intensified their efforts, snatching half of the publicly-owned land from the village chiefs of each village to them at a very low price, and turned it into private land, and they had to pay heavy taxes if they wanted to cultivate it.

At first, the village chiefs were reluctant to do so, and the village chief of Hujia village organized a collective strike of villagers to protest, and he was killed that night, and his body was in his home, and his body hung on a branch at the entrance of the village.

Since then, if there is a village chief who is unwilling, the fate is almost the same, Wang Dagui still won the consent of most of the villagers and was forced to sell 100 acres of land to them! The villagers all know these things, but every time an official or King Cheng personally comes down to the village to inspect, no one dares to say it, so no one dares to manage it.

There is such a thing!

Song asked again, didn't Xiang Feng, who has a strong background, come forward to coordinate? Isn't he a person who works hard all day long and always wants to make a difference?

Wang Dagui shook his head when he heard Xiang Feng's name, and then heard Song Benwen say that he was a hard-working person and wanted to do something, so he laughed out loud and said, "That grandson is all pretending!" On the surface, this person is honest, and he also participates in the change of the land we bought from our hands to his own name! And they buy the most and pay the heaviest taxes! ”

The seriousness of this matter has exceeded Song Jiwen's imagination!

He originally thought that it was just a few village chiefs who were not honest, so he united with other village chiefs to exploit the peasants and bully outsiders, in that case, he could completely use the strength of the ghost soldiers and the financial resources of Dongzhen Company to settle the situation!

But now it has involved the power of the government, and the power involved is too great, and its depth and breadth are beyond the scope of Dongzhen's solution.

Although this fundamental problem of the land cannot be solved, Wang Dagui's small personal matters can be easily settled for Song Jiwen and Juyitang.

After Song Jiwen finished talking with Wang Dagui, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly rushed to the nearby village to investigate the relevant matters, of course, the letters in his pocket were never taken out again, because in the current situation, this paper is no different from ordinary waste paper, and it can't solve any problems at all.

After walking around the village of about five or six villages, Song Jiwen made sure that Wang Dagui's words were not adulterated, and at the same time, he also saw how the bullies in Zhaojia Village were evil, and how they were full of evil and crimes in the nearby villages.

On the fifth day after going down to the village, Song Jiwen politely refused to be kept by the enthusiastic villagers, saying that it would be good to keep the six yuan, and he rushed back to Gaoyou City overnight.

Hearing that Xiaoqi'er's spies came to report that Song Jiwen rushed back from the village overnight, Su Zedong immediately realized that the problem was very serious, and he couldn't delay too much, so he sat in the conference hall with Zhang Dexing, Wu Zhennan, and Zhao Youqian, who had returned from other places, and waited until three o'clock in the ugly hour.

Song Benwen knew that he was carrying a heavy responsibility, although he had not rested much in the past few days, he was still not tired, and he refused Su Zedong's suggestion to rest first, and immediately sat in his position, took out more than a dozen pieces of rice paper from his pocket, and neatly recorded the results of his visit to Ali on the fifth day.

In the process of Song Jiwen holding the documents and reading them out one by one, Su Zedong knew the crux of such a difficult development of the wasteland in the north of the city, but on the surface, he just nodded coldly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly!

Song Jiwen and the other three talents who had been enraged were all surprised by his performance, and they all hurriedly asked him why he was still so calm after hearing this appalling truth, had he already thought of this reason and had a way to deal with it?

Su Zedong rubbed his mustache, first smiled and nodded, but then shook his head.

After closing his eyes and being silent for a while, the hall master of everyone said with a serious face: "Actually, it is not difficult to guess that there is an official government involved in this, and there are countermeasures in my heart, but now is not the time!" It's useless to be in a hurry, and the chaos will startle the snake or even provoke the fire, we have to wait for the opportunity, and after the meeting, you have to tell all your subordinates, don't act rashly! ”

"Oh, what we can do now is to help Wang Dagui, the chief of our Niujia Village, to solve personal grievances, after all, they provided clues to Uncle Song, things must always be prioritized, and this matter will be handed over to Uncle Song and Zhang Dexing to be responsible."

After getting Su Zedong's promise, Song Jiwen nodded with murderous intent.

Everyone who learned about this was very strange, this bully of Zhaojiazhuang was neither the village chief nor as powerful as Wang Dagui, so he dared to rely on Chen Sanqiang's strength to fight for the tiger in the village?! And it's gone so far!

It's really uncultured, it's terrible!

At two o'clock on the second day of Song Jiwen's return to Gaoyou City, when the sky was just getting dark, Wang Dagui, who had finally helped his little nephew finish weaving straw shoes, heard the widow of the old Wang family next door say: "The bully in Zhaojia Village is dead!" His head was cut off and placed in a pigsty, and his body was thrown into cow dung! I really don't know who dared, it's a good thing, a good thing! ”

Wang Dagui's hands trembled, he stood up tremblingly, kicked the air, and said, "The sky has eyes!" The sky has eyes, we farmers, finally have a day to come out! Sweet osmanthus... Sweet osmanthus! Prepare sake, prepare sake! I'm going to have a few drinks with you and Brother Wang today..... even if the marriage between the two of us is completed, you will still be surnamed Wang in the future! ”

As he spoke, he took the osmanthus in his arms and pushed the door into the room......
