Chapter 394: The Family Finally Falls
Seeing the mighty people on the streets of Chang'an following the soldiers forward, Wang Tong's face suddenly turned pale, if Li Shimin just sent the soldiers over, maybe there would be a turnaround, he could negotiate, or......
But now, Wang Tong knew that it was impossible for that one to appear, if it wasn't for someone deliberately, it would be impossible for so many people to gather, and he understood that Li Shimin was going to kill the family this time.
Wang Tong didn't think about transferring salt, but the amount of salt hoarded by the family during this period was extremely huge, and the people from Li Shimin's faction were staring at it openly and secretly, so there was no chance at all.
Wang Tong sighed and returned to the back house, the whole person lost his life, his already old face looked even older, full of loneliness and depression, is the family that has been inherited for hundreds of years going to be destroyed by himself......
"Dad, what to do! The soldiers outside asked us to open a warehouse and put salt. Wang Yuan looked at Wang Tong with a panicked expression.
Wang Tong smiled miserably: "This is to ask us to open a warehouse and put salt, this is to let our family never turn over!" ”
"Ahh Wang Tong opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Dad, didn't you mean that ......"
"Shut up!" Wang Tong suddenly shouted, "Hoarding private salt during the war is at most a raid on the family and exile, as long as people live, there is still a chance." ”
was reprimanded by Wang Tong, Wang Yuan came to his senses, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Wang Tong is right, if the family hoards and sells illicit salt in normal times, it is nothing, as long as it is not too public, the court will only turn a blind eye, and now Li Shimin wants to use the anger of the people to deal with the family, at most it is just to copy the family and exile, with the background of the family, it is not without a chance to turn over, but if it is related to that person, it is a sin to rob the family and destroy the door.
Wang Yuan, who wanted to understand the powerful relationship, hurriedly kept silent. Seeing that he understood, Wang Tong sighed and said, "The old man will bear this matter with all his might." Maybe ......"
"Sir. Old lady, it's not good! The people outside are about to break in! The palace housekeeper stumbled in and interrupted Wang Tong's words with a panicked face.
Wang Tong frowned and said, "The warehouse where salt is stored is in the south of the city, what are they doing here?" ”
The people knew that the family was rich, and they also knew that the family must have hoarded a lot of salt this time, but what they didn't expect was that the salt hoarded by the family would be so amazing, when the soldiers forcibly opened the family's warehouse on the outskirts of the city, the mountain of salt suddenly deeply stimulated them, and the family stopped salt for several days. The child was dying, and the family actually hoarded such an amazing table salt, and the anger that erupted in the hearts of the people at this moment even Li Er, who was mixed in the crowd, was shocked.
"Master Bing, hoarding and selling illicit salt is a felony, but you can't let the family go so easily!" Some "people" said with resentment.
"Yes, you can't let the family go, they're just too hateful!"
"I can't let the family go!"
The soldier was embarrassed: "The family has been inherited for hundreds of years, has a profound heritage, and is quite popular with the people, if you do something to them, I am afraid it will cause panic and dissatisfaction among the people." It's better to take a long-term view of this matter. ”
"Bullshit! Aren't we the people? The family's private salt was sold for fifteen guan and one bucket, so they oppressed the people. My people, brothers, do you think you can spare the family! A sturdy "common man" said impassionedly.
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
Li Er looked at the impassioned strong man "people" with satisfaction and smiled slightly: This person's acting skills are good.
So, under the strong public opinion, the soldiers "helplessly" led the people to the family mansion.
Before Wang Tong could react from his shock when he heard the words of the palace housekeeper, he heard a noise coming out of the palace and was shocked, and the people had already broken into the Wang family's mansion!
As the head of the family, the Wang family naturally has a lot of money, more than a dozen courtyards before and after, hundreds of houses, pavilions and pavilions, carved railings, and jade buildings, the courtyard is full of cherished flowers and trees, and the atmosphere of wealth makes the people who break in stunned.
After being stunned, the anger in my heart became stronger and stronger, these riches were all obtained by exploiting the people!
In fact, most of the family's assets are normal income, not the income of the people, the family is not the imperial court, they want to exploit the people, and they are not qualified, but the angry people only see the mountains of salt that the family has hoarded in the warehouse, and only think of the private salt of fifteen times and a bucket, and they don't know and don't need to know the rest.
"Smash!"
I don't know who shouted, and the people suddenly found a way to vent, and the scene was chaotic.
The soldiers behind hurriedly spoke to dissuade: "Don't be impulsive, it's not right to do this, and you should let ...... if you have anything."
However, their faint voices were soon buried by the roars of the people, Li Er looked at everything coldly, and saw that the overall situation had been determined and quietly withdrew from the Wang family's mansion under the escort of Wei Chi Jingde.
When the angry people rushed into the back house of the Wang family, Wang Tong finally couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood and fainted, and before fainting, he heard Wang Yuan's anxious call.
"Father! Father ......"
When Wang Tong woke up leisurely, the whole Wang family was in a mess, there were traces of smashing everywhere, the huge Wang family was lost, Wang Tong looked sad, suddenly heard the housekeeper's desolate cry, turned his head and found that Wang Yuan was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, bruises everywhere, and there was still a painful expression on his face.
"What's wrong with Yuan'er?" Wang Tong's voice trembled, and he struggled to get up.
The housekeeper raised his head when he heard Wang Tong's voice and cried, "Old lady, you can wake up!" ”
Wang Tong looked at Wang Yuan lying on the ground and asked tremblingly, "What's wrong with Yuan'er?" ”
The housekeeper cried: "Those people are crazy and will smash whatever they see, and the master wants to prevent them from being ...... They killed me by mistake! ”
"What!" When Wang Tong heard this, he was stunned as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing Wang Tong's reaction, the housekeeper was afraid that he would faint again if he couldn't stand the stimulation, so he hurriedly said: "Those troublemakers have been arrested by the officers and soldiers, and the court will help the master avenge it." ”
Wang Tong shook his head and didn't speak, two lines of turbid tears flowed down, with his eyesight, how could he not see that although there were many bruises on Wang Yuan's body, there was only one that was really fatal, and the scars in that place were definitely not something ordinary people could do, this was Li Shimin's death hand to the Wang family!
Thinking of this, Wang Tong was suddenly startled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What about the two young masters?" ”
The housekeeper's face tightened, he gritted his teeth and closed his mouth, but he shook his head vigorously and wept, Wang Tong looked up to the sky and shouted: "Li Shimin, you are so ruthless!" ”
The voice was terrible, and he died of anger after shouting, and at the last moment he finally remembered that Li Shimin was a person who experienced the changes of Xuanwu Gate and stepped on the throne on the mountain of corpses and blood, and if he was an enemy of such a person, he would not be able to die a good death.
The same scene was also staged in other families, on this day, several families that had been inherited for hundreds of years finally collapsed, the crimes of the family were exposed one by one, Li Shimin pardoned the sins of the "troublemaking people" and ordered people to open a warehouse and release salt, for a time the people returned to their hearts, their prestige soared, and the forces that were secretly ready to move suddenly disappeared.
