Chapter 138: The Story
"In a peasant family three miles outside the city, there is a little girl who is a king, that looks, but the posture of the country, this is not just twenty-eight years, the door to propose marriage is about to break through the threshold of her family, I heard that ah, this Wang girl was also picked up by her parents to raise her, people are not only beautiful but also very filial to the adoptive father and mother, but unfortunately one day, the sky fell into trouble, the royal father went out and was beaten to death."
At this point, the storyteller of the small teahouse stopped, and looked at the guests listening to him carefully with satisfaction, obviously attracted by his story, and some people were even more impatient, urging him to hurry up and say the following.
"I said you old man, tell me quickly, why was Miss Wang and her father killed, and who killed her?"
"Don't worry, everyone, wait for the old man to moisten the noise, the noise is about to smoke all morning." The storyteller said slowly, but he didn't see him drinking tea.
Everyone saw it clearly, and secretly despised this old thing, but a young man still stood up and shouted to the shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper will make another pot of tea for him, and count it on my account."
"Ouch, thank you, little brother!" The storyteller smiled, pinched his throat and coughed twice, and continued: "When this Wang girl saw her father innocently killed, she cried so much that she was heartbroken, and I felt pity! Before I could figure out what was going on, someone came to the house. "The storyteller slapped the table with a 'snap' that lifted everyone's hearts.
"Guess who it is? It's a wicked man, a wicked man. The storyteller shouted, and his tone couldn't help but raise a half-heart, "It is the wicked person who killed her father, this person is surnamed Wan, who has long coveted the beauty of Miss Wang, and if he can't come up with a bad idea, he deceived the honest royal father into the gambling house, and deliberately let him give you a usury of one or two silver in the gambling house, but in just two days, one or two silver became three taels of silver, and asked the prince to take Miss Wang to pay off the debt, and the royal father did not argue with them, and was beaten to death by all the wicked people." ”
"The wicked man killed the royal father, and pressed the deed of sale, only two days after the death of the royal father, before the body was buried in the ground, all the wicked people came to take the people, and took the deed of sale pressed by the king's father and asked the king girl to go with them."
"Miss Wang lost her father, and when she was heartbroken, she learned about this deed of sale, which was really a bolt from the blue! Under the chaos, all the wicked people accidentally injured the queen mother to death, and the king girl saw that her father was dead and her mother was mourned, and she became a slave again, and she could not escape the clutches of all the wicked, so she jumped off the cliff and committed suicide in grief and anger. ”
"Poor, these wicked people are really bad, they have lost their conscience, and they can't die well." The young man said angrily.
"It's not, robbing people's daughters, killing people, why didn't the government beat him and arrest him."
For a time, the crowd was furious, and they were furious at what all the wicked people had done.
"You don't know, those wicked people have been doing evil for so many years, killing people and killing people have nothing to do, it's really ~~~~" The storyteller pointed to the sky, without saying it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear.
"As the saying goes, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and this matter is not over." Mr. Storyteller said, looking at the following group of emotional listeners, everyone was waiting for the follow-up development, but he just didn't say it, so everyone's appetite was hanging.
"Shopkeeper, hurry up and serve a plate of snacks to Mr." The young man hurriedly shouted.
After listening to Miss Wang's pitiful life experience, the scholar was indignant and angry, and decided to take Miss Wang to Beijing to sue the emperor."
"The two ran all the way, supported each other, had feelings for each other, and after arriving in the capital, the scholar was talented, won the championship in one fell swoop, and presented the experience of Miss Wang to the saint in front of the saint on the top of the Jinluan Palace, and the saint was extremely angry, under his governance, there would be such a bully who did evil, and he gave the scholar as a messenger to try the case."
"The scholar put all the wicked people in prison, and after a lot of investigation, he found all kinds of evil deeds in his gambling house, usury, hurting people's lives, bullying, raping good women, forcibly seizing people's daughters, etc., the crime is extremely evil, and in front of everyone's eyes, all the wicked people were beheaded and shown to the public, and the city was jubilant for a while, and praised the scholar for being honest and honest, and upright."
"Miss Wang also found her biological parents, it turned out that she was actually a princess who was lost in the folk on the Holy Mountain, and now she recognizes the Lord and returns to the sect, and the scholar has a lover and finally becomes a family, and lives the life of a fairy couple, the scholar fights the bully, and Miss Wang would rather die than give in for a time to become a good story."
The so-called good is not good to be rewarded, evil is evil, it is not that the time has not come, all the wicked people are ambushed and happy, and everyone listens to the crowd and is agitated, wishing that he is the scholar, beheading the bully, and marrying the princess.
"Oh, we also have such wicked people in Pingcheng." I don't know who screamed and brought everyone back to their senses.
"Who is it?" Everyone's hearts were excited, haha, as if he was the poor scholar, seeking justice for his beloved girl.
"It's Wan's gambling house, the Wanjia brothers robbed the people's daughters, lent usury and killed people, and now they have all been arrested by the government, and they haven't been convicted yet, so isn't the Wang family girl Wang Yongfu's family, her son was beaten to death, and her daughter-in-law hanged herself." I don't know who in the crowd told the story of the Wan family brothers.
Wang Yongfu's experience is very similar to that of Miss Wang in the story, except that he has no scholar to help him, and he has no noble background.
In the past two days, Master Chang was anxious about the affairs of Wan Datou and the two people, and he thought it was a very simple matter, and easily fished them out of prison, for which he was also ready to make a statement to the prefect, but unfortunately, I don't know how, overnight, the streets and alleys of Pingcheng were spread all over the affairs of ten thousand gambling houses, and the evil deeds of the Wan brothers were spread to be a household name, and everyone knew about it.
Everyone was waiting and waiting for the verdict of the prefect, and many people gathered at the government office, waved their flags and shouted under the instigation of the people, demanding that the prefect handle it impartially, and there was a great intention to not give up after disposing of the ten family brothers in accordance with the law.
If it was in the past, who dared to gather people in the government to make trouble, pull into the yamen and reprimand, plus a few big boards, but in addition to the local civilians who were persecuted by the Wan family brothers, there were also many people who were famous squires and rich families in the city, weak scholars in the school, and there were many people with meritorious reputations, and they gathered together to discuss the law for Wang Yongfu.
If you can't catch up, you can't fight it, so you can only let them put pressure on the prefect in front of the government office.
Because of this incident, the prefect intended to punish him severely, Master Chang was anxious, and his mouth was blistering, what could he do? For the sake of the two unsuccessful wives and brothers, they also folded themselves in.
"Sir, you're back." Mrs. Chang Wan saw her old man measuring the family, and greeted her early, with a look of anticipation.
Wan's appearance is different from the five big and three thick of Wan Datou and Wan Si'er's two brothers, her appearance is biased towards the southern fair beauty, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, medium raw material, and a romantic charm between walking.
Among the brothers and sisters in the Wan family, she is the most beautiful and has the best life, and she was favored by the widowed old widower Master Chang to be his house-filling wife.
"What else?" Master Chang was upset, sat down and drank a cup of strong tea, before continuing: "It seems that this time the eldest brother and the second brother are planted, I don't know which ruthless character I offended, and I want to put them to death. ”
Master Chang snorted fiercely, in his eyes, he is useless as a scholar, he will only show his pen there, in the past few years, Wan Jia will give him thousands of taels of silver every year, he doesn't care if Wan Datou and Wan Si'er will be executed, what he cares about is silver, Wan Datou and the two were executed, Wanjia Gambling House is closed, where will he get thousands of taels of silver in the future.
"This Wang Yongfu, who killed tens of millions, can't die well, and he wants to harm my brother." Wan cried when he heard it, and hated Wang Yongfu very much, but he didn't know that the Wan brothers ruined Wang Yongfu's family.
"Master, you can save the eldest brother and the fourth brother, the concubine is just two brothers!" Wan panicked, without the support of her brothers, how would she live in the future.
"I know, don't I think about it every day? Don't worry, Aunt Yan, you also go and walk around, we give a lot of filial piety every month, and it is impossible for her not to help in this matter. Master Chang said that he also had to save the lives of the two for the sake of silver.
