Chapter 54 The Wealth of the Family
Wang Ji couldn't help but redden, and scolded loudly: "Where are the archers? Let me shoot these people with arrows. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.infoγγγγγγ Wang Jiping likes bow horses, and has raised a group of archers in the house, riding and shooting with him in his spare time, and acting as a thug in an emergency, at this time he is protecting Wang Ji and others, and did not join the battle, and when he heard Wang Ji's order, he opened his bow and arrows, and the swarthy arrows were aimed at the crowd of people who were fighting together. In addition to the scuffling soldiers and healthy soldiers in the crowd, there were also many old and weak women and children, Zheng Sanjia held their daughter in their arms, hid next to the coffin, and looked at the archers in horror. The situation was on the verge of breaking out, and at a critical juncture, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the dust was all over the sky, and a group of armor soldiers gathered around a black-clothed scribe galloped forward. The armor of the armor soldiers was bright and majestic, and Wang Ji took a closer look, and it turned out to be the dress of the forbidden army. All the armor soldiers shouted in unison: "Stop, the decree has arrivedγγγγγγγγ β
Wang Ji's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, at this moment he has completely woken up, today's group of people is not only prepared, but also has a big backer behind them, otherwise how dare they carry the coffin to block their own door, those healthy soldiers mixed in the villagers are obviously well-trained soldiers, the forbidden army will not arrive sooner or later, why is it this time, but he can't guess who the magnates will not get along with him, and why they want to stand up for these people.
The scene of the scuffle calmed down temporarily with the arrival of the armor soldiers, everyone stopped fighting, and the archers also loosened their bowstrings, arrows pointing downward, and watched the group come to the front together. The black-clothed scribe jumped off the horse, black thin and short, described as ugly, it was Liu Ling, he held the yellow scroll in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Wang Ji, Wang Kai, Shi Chong take the orderγγγγγγγ β
The three of them looked at each other, Wang Kai and Shi Chong, who were still happily watching the excitement just now, were full of suspicions, although Liu Ling had served in the army under Emperor Wu's account, but he had resigned for many years, although he was very famous in the literary world, he had always been clothed, and suddenly came to read the holy decree on behalf of the imperial court, of course, it was suspicious, but he was escorted by the forbidden army, how could there be a fake. After hesitating for a moment, the three of them just looked at me, I looked at you, and Ai Ai knelt down to receive the order.
"When the weather is good, I was ordered to lock up Wang Ji, Wang Kai, Shi Chong and the little servants of the family, and hand them over to the court lieutenant to be convicted, and then immediately seal up the mansion of the three people, and all the property should be confiscated into the public." The edict was concise and to the point, without a word of nonsense, and without explaining any reason, the edict was read out, and all the armor soldiers rushed up and tied up the three people who were stunned first. Shi Chong suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Liu Ling, you are the body of cloth, how can you declare the decree on behalf of the Son of Heaven, someone must have instructed you to frame us and others, who is it?" Who is going to harm usγγγγγγγ β
Liu Ling smiled coldly: "I will play the Son of Heaven, and I will join you Shi Chong's soldiers to rob merchants, lynch and torture, and kill innocents indiscriminately." Refer to you Wang Ji forcibly seized the people's property and forced six lives to death. The imperial court has just appointed me as the Eighth Rank Imperial Historian, and I have been asked to try the case together with the Imperial Governor's Office. β
Wang Kai held a glimmer of hope and shouted loudly: "I, Wang Kai, am loyal to the king and love the people, what is the crime? β
Liu Ling glanced at Wang Kai: "No matter how tightly the tail is clamped, there is always a time of negligence, it is time for you to meet me Liu Ling, Sili Lieutenant Fu Yi once impeached you for a major crime, the first emperor kept it secret in Japan, and suppressed the matter, it happened that I was in the army under the account of the first emperor at that time, the first emperor died, and Fu Yuan also died without proof, do you think you don't know it?" It's a pity, and I know your old things. Have you ever remembered the ban that birds should not cross the Yangtze River? β
When Wang Kai heard this, his face immediately turned like ashes.
Birds have lived in the Lingnan region since ancient times, and are slightly larger than eagles, with purple feathers and green belly and wing tips. There are many snakes in Lingnan, and the plover is the one that feeds on snakes, especially poisonous snakes such as pit pit heads. "Cao Muzi" carefully explains the principle that the bird is not afraid of snake venom. After they eat the poisonous snake, the kidney secretes mucus containing a strong breath to extract the snake venom. Snake venom is gradually broken down until it becomes something more delicate than powder. Eventually, the powder permeates the bird's skin with sweat and gradually evaporates as it flows along the feathers. Because of this, the feathers of the plovers are highly poisonous. Tap it with a feather in the water, this water is called "Wen plasma", and if you drink it, your life will be lost, and your flesh and bones will be broken when you wash your hands. And the bird is infinitely powerful and fierce, and it is not easy to catch. As a result, there were countless high rollers from the north, carrying boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry to buy feathers. Qin Shi Huang poisoned LΓΌ Buwei with wine, and since then there have been countless cases of killing people with wine.
Due to the ferocity of the poison, benevolent people have always opposed the use of this strange poison. The ancient book "Erya Wing" once recorded that wherever the bird went, the trees died, the stones cracked, and the poisonous snake immediately became paralyzed. The Jin Dynasty issued a strict order not to allow birds to cross the Yangtze River. However, in its verifiable history, there are two examples of taking birds across the Yangtze River. One case was Wang Kai, who was pardoned by Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty at that time. Another case is that in the second year of Dongshengping (358), a minister who had a head in water and did not study law actually presented a bird to the imperial court, and Sima Dan, the emperor of Jin Mu, was furious and ordered the minister to be whipped with 200 and burned to death in public at the crossroads of the capital. The bird eventually became extinct, but it is impossible to verify exactly when it died out.
This Wang Kai is not that he does not study the law, but ignores the law, relying on the fact that he is the uncle of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, secretly playing with birds illegally, plus he was also young and frivolous at that time, rich and boring, nothing more than liking to take some rare beasts as pets, and now the rich people in the Middle East raise lions and tigers is a reason. But time has passed for many years, and I never expected that the mistakes I made when I was young would be used as a handle by others when I was older, how could my body and bones stand up to more than two hundred sticks.
Liu Ling waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers to press the three of them into the prisoner car, and when Shi Chong was pressed into the prisoner car, he looked at the expressionless Liu Ling and sighed: "You are just a pawn, the person hiding behind you doesn't know who it is, but it must be just plotting our family property." β
Liu Ling lowered her voice: "Since you know, why did you go earlier?" (Chong Nai sighed: "The slaves benefit my family wealth.") The recipient replied: "Knowing wealth causes harm, why not disperse it early?" Chong couldn't answer. οΌ
