Following.
Wen Chou got up early, he wanted to rush back to Wen's house, although everything was basically stable, but he still couldn't rest assured. called Liu Zhong, Yan Liang and others to bring more than 30 villagers and rushed towards Wen's Pavilion.
Wen Ji and Wen Jie returned home at night, and after several tosses, they finally failed to do anything harmful to the people of the Wen clan. Because they still know that no matter how big the tree of his family is, it must depend on the depth of the roots of the entire Wen family, otherwise, it will not be able to exist in the heavens and the earth for a long time. But what they deserve, they decided to fight for.
At breakfast time, Wen Chou and others came to Wen's Pavilion, and the scene of about forty people disturbed most of the people, and they went out to visit, and there were many people in the family, so they couldn't help whispering: "Isn't that the new rank Wenjun in Hongxiang?" What do you want to do with so many people? β
"Could it be because of yesterday's incident in the township?" Some people are not convinced.
"Haven't all the township and city matters been resolved, and my family has received three or five kinds of farm tools!" One person said.
"I heard that the main culprits are the Wen clan Chinese Ji and Wen Jie's family, and seeing that they returned safely last night, I originally thought that Wen Jun would not pursue this matter in the face of the same Wen clan, and I don't want to lead people here again today!" A young man who looked like a scholar said.
"Will this Wen Jun really punish the Wen Ji family?" Someone questioned.
"It's not enough to punish, after all, the Wen clan has been established for more than 100 years, and Wen Ji, Wen Jie and others have not done all the bad things! It's just that in the past two years, some farm fields have been merged. "As soon as I know the insider, I said.
The villagers were amazed. Thinking that this Wen clan has been in the township for hundreds of years, no official has ever dared to come to take people. Especially in recent years, the Wen clan people have made greater contributions to the township, and they have always relied on it a lot, and they have also turned a blind eye to the trivial sins of the Wen clan people. And this rank, as a disciple of the Wen family, has only been in office for a few days, but it is rare to take the Wen family first. Although it may not be possible to punish them severely, it is also excellent to be able to make them rein in a little bit!
Yes, Wen Chou brought people here this time, not to accuse Wen Ji of a crime and arrest him back, but to deter! Let Wen Ji and them understand that it is he who has the final say in the Wen family and even Shahe Township.
All the way into Wen's house, straight towards the place where Wen Ji's house is.
The Wen clan is a gathering of clans, and more than half of the Wen clan lives in other clans, and according to the current customs, the son Zhuang does not live, that is, the son grows up to be separated from the family, and does not set up an industry. But the people of the Wen clan are all father and son living together, although Wen Ji and Wen Jie are already adults, they are no exception, and they do not live separately.
Wen Ji was drinking indoors with two powerful guests to relieve his boredom, Wen Jie ran from outside the door in a panic and shouted: "Big brother, big brother, it's not good...... β
"Panic what! What's wrong? Wen Ji was bored, and when he heard Wen Jie say, he put the ear cup in his hand on the table, and aired.
"Wen Chou's fellow is here with the townsmen!" Wen Jie said busily.
"What? Wen Chou brought people here? When Wen Ji heard this, he suddenly bounced up from the seat and said in surprise.
"I brought more than 30 people, and I was rushing towards our house." Wen Jie confirmed.
"What does he mean by this, isn't he going to arrest me and send me to the official? He doesn't understand that he has to forgive others and forgive others? Wen Ji paced back and forth and muttered.
"Wenjun, if this is really the case, you can ask the old man to live in the hall. So ......," one guest suggested.
"Well, just invite the old man to the court!" Wen Ji paced in the room and stroked his hands for a while, and said in a dialect.
"Please come to the court?" Wen Jie was confused for a moment and asked.
"Go quickly, there is an old man pressing the formation, and he can't do anything to be ugly!" Wen Ji said in a deep voice. Then he said to a guest beside him: "Gather all the kings together and go to the lobby." β
β¦β¦
"Wen Chou!" Wen Ji spoke at the front of the lobby. His guests stood behind him.
"Hmm!" Wen Chou replied. Liu Zhong and Yan Liang stand on both sides.
The two sides stood in front of the lobby, facing each other.
"Cough, cough, cough, is it Saburo?" At this time, Wen Ji's father, with Wen Jie's support, came to the front of the hall from the backyard and coughed lightly. Wen Ji's father, about sixty or seventy years old, is the oldest among the Wen clan.
"Uncle, how are you doing?" Seeing this, Wen Chou hurriedly saluted. The Han family governs the country with filial piety, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this old man is an elder of the Wen family, that is, an ordinary person, and he is ugly and respectful. In the eyes of others, it also has a reputation of "respecting the elderly".
"Well, cough, cough......, don't stand outside, let's all come to the lobby." Wen Weng glanced at the two waves of people facing each other in front of the hall, and saw that Wen Chou's side was dressed as a villager, and he had a lot of experience, but he didn't know that Wen Ji must have committed something, and he sighed, and there was a violent cough, and it took a long time to ease up, Fang Dao. Wen Weng had not heard of the affairs of the clan for six or seven years, and if it weren't for Wen Jieyan's words, he would not have dragged the sick body to the lobby.
Wen Chou took Yan Liang, Wen Ba, and Liu Zhong into the lobby and sat down accordingly.
"The kid took the liberty to come, but he disturbed the eldest uncle's recuperation!" Wen Chou bowed again.
"Ahem, San Lang, you also know that I am also dying, ahem, ......, if these two boys don't cause trouble, ahem......,...... Maybe I'd like to live a few more years! Say, what have they done, and what conditions do they need? Wen Weng said intermittently.
"Uncle Xie understands righteousness and will definitely be healed and healthy in the future." Wen Chou first complimented a few words, and then said: "As long as Brother Zizhang returns the fields purchased in recent years to the farmers, and some tenants and slaves can return to good homes." As for the rest, I won't pursue it much. β
"Buying and merging fields, tenants and slaves?" Wen Weng asked.
"Uncle, don't you know? Brother Zizhang took advantage of the New Year this year to buy a lot of fields, slaves, and a lot of family business! Wen Chou said euphemistically.
"Ahem...... cough cough ......" When Wen Weng heard it, he didn't know what Wen Chou was talking about, "annexing land, forcing people to be slaves, and so on!" He was so angry that he kept coughing, and knocked Wen Ji with his cane and said, "You son of a, is this the good thing you have done all these years?" It turned out that although Wen Weng didn't know about clan affairs, he often asked Wen Ji and others about their own family situation, and Wen Ji had already ventilated his family and only said good things.
"Father, don't I also want to make the family better?" Wen Ji said aggrievedly.
"That can't ruin the honor of our Wen clan for hundreds of years!" Wen Weng's sentence is quite right. And said to Wen Chou: "San Lang, cough cough ......, today is ranked, and we must also remember and maintain Wen's honor!" Ahem...... you did a very good job of this, the fields, slaves, and so on were all returned! β
Wen Weng spoke, and Wen Ji was still about to defend himself, but he was beaten back by Wen Weng with a cane.
Wen Chou took a stack of deeds, bonds, etc. from Wen Ji's extremely reluctant hand, and saluted Wen Weng and said: "On behalf of the people in the township, thank you Wen Weng!" This is his official salute to Wen Weng in a rank position.
"Don't thank you, cough cough ......, as long as you don't blame me, I'll be fine!" Wen Weng said.
"The law is not as good as the law, and the law is not as good as the king." Wen Chou said.
"Okay, a good 'you can't get the law, the law can't get the law' cough cough cough ......, I'm relieved." After Wen Weng finished speaking, he got up and walked to the backyard, and Wen Jie hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Wen Chou and the others were sent to the gate of the courtyard before stopping. After thinking about it, Wen Chou said: "When this is over, the kid will come to visit his uncle!" β
"Ahem...... okay, I'm waiting for your arrival." Wen Weng stopped and smiled.
β¦β¦
"For the matter of farm tools, you deserve benefits, I will have someone send them in the future" At the end, Wen Chou said to Wen Ji on his side.
"Hmph, count you ruthless!" Wen Ji snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left!
On the same day, Wen Chou registered all the slaves, servants, and other personnel involved in the case of the Wen Ji family one by one to restore their good records, and the fields were also returned to the restored farmers one by one. All of them shouted "parents" and "blue sky".
This matter quickly spread throughout the township, and yesterday, the distribution of farm tools, the people of Qianshou were not grateful to Dade, and praised each other, thinking that they were 'parents'! There is also the name of "benevolence, righteousness and filial piety", which spreads in the township.
β¦β¦
In the Chen shed, the home of Jiang Cheng, the third elder of the township.
Seven or eight men with high crowns and Confucian robes knelt in front of Jiang Cheng. These men were dressed in black or green, the younger had just been crowned, the older were in their forties, some had long beards, some had short beards, their appearances were different, their heights were different, but one thing was the same, that is, they all looked respectful. - They are all Jiang Cheng's protΓ©gΓ©s.
The oldest man was talking, and he was talking about Wen Chou's rectification of Wen Ji. What exactly leads to it, and listen to the next breakdown.
