poor family prodigal
Chapter 21 The people’s hearts are as strong as iron and the official laws are as strong as furnaces
Sihai, Dahu, Erhu, and Bangxian were frightened.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yuan would dare to directly threaten and induce Zhao Wu in front of him.
The elders have archers and strong men under them. They are an extension of the government's power in the countryside, and are more terrifying than the village elders.
Zhao Wu's eyes darkened, anger rose from the bottom of his heart, but was suppressed by greed, and he couldn't help but snorted: "Then it depends on how sincere you are, Mr. Yuan!"
The elders and village chiefs worked together to exploit the people and make money.
The money they caught still had to be handed over, and they could only drink a little bit of soup.
If Wang Yuan can give him enough benefits, Liu Youcai, who is his acquaintance, is nothing.
Wang Yuan took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and said, "Take it to treat the brothers to a drink."
The gangster's eyes glowed green when he saw it: he was worth ten taels in one move, he is indeed a prodigal.
Zhao Wu's eyes were bright, but his face was stern: "Wang Yuan, are you humiliating me? Give a second-rate guy half and half of your money!"
The villagers gave gifts such as hens, bacon, fatty fish, etc., which were not even worth a hundred cents.
I have never given ten guan of money as a gift, but this is much less than Wang Sihai's.
Dahu, Erhu, and Sihai were deeply moved.
In Wang Yuan's mind, they were more important than the elders.
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "How about you resign from your position as chief and run out with me every day from dawn to dusk, I will give you fifty taels too."
"Haha, Master Yuan, stop joking, let's keep the water flowing!"
Understanding that it was the settlement fee, Zhao Wu wanted to put away the money and waved his hand: "Call everyone together!"
Not long after, four archers and eight strong men all rushed over.
Wang Yuan told Zhao Wu that he was going to Guopanzhuang and capture the three Guocang brothers.
Zhao Wu didn't have any embarrassment after hearing this.
In the countryside, the elders are the strongest armed forces, with the government behind them.
It's easy to catch a few thieves.
"Erhu, can you really fight four with one person?"
On the contrary, as soon as they set off on the road, Zhao Wu looked at Erhu with a somewhat suspicious expression.
If one person fights four, he must be a practicing martial artist with real skills.
When Wang Hanshan retired from the army, he once came to recruit, hoping to recruit someone who could fight.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hanshan said that he was a small soldier in the army and had never killed the enemy in battle.
I didn’t learn Kung Fu in the military!
If I don’t know Kung Fu, how can I teach my son?
Could it be that this kid is gifted?
"If you don't believe me, let your men try it!"
Erhu's eyes were captivating: "Brother Yuan has already changed my name to Wang Polu, so don't call me Erhu anymore."
It was the elder's job to catch the thief, but he actually cost Brother Yuan ten taels of silver.
"Believe!"
Zhao Wu's heart trembled, and he turned to Dahu and said, "How many can you hit?"
Dahu said expressionlessly: "One!"
Zhao Wu breathed a sigh of relief: Wang Yuan will have two men who can fight. If anything happens in the future, he may not be able to suppress it with the strength at hand.
Erhu pursed his lips: He was the one Dahu could beat, and his father could beat both of them.
The group rushed to Guo Panzhuang, and Zhao Wu made arrangements along the way.
Erhu, who knew kung fu, took Wang Sihai and a strong man to fetch his second brother Guo Liang.
Dahu, who could only kill one, went with two archers and four strong men to fetch the injured Guo Qiang.
And he and Wang Yuan led two archers and three strong men to attack the boss Guo Cang's house.
When someone enters the village, the villagers immediately surround him.
When they walked in, they saw it was Zhao Wu, but the villagers were afraid and ran away, watching from a distance.
In the countryside, elders are more terrifying than elders, and they basically take people when they appear.
Arriving at a small courtyard with adobe walls, Zhao Wu pulled out his oxtail knife and waved it.
Two strong men armed with sticks kicked open the dilapidated wooden door!
Three strong men went in front, two archers drew their bows and set arrows, and they rushed in together.
A skinny woman walked out of the kitchen: "Sir, what's going on!"
"Guo Cang, you have committed a crime, get out of here and be arrested without mercy!"
Ignoring the woman, Zhao Wu waved his oxtail knife, and the five people were about to break into the house.
boom!
Two wooden doors slammed outward, knocking the five people off their feet.
A young man rushed out with a knife and rushed towards Zhao Wu.
Wang Yuan's expression was stern. This young man's eyes were captivating and his face was filled with murderous intent!
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wu sneered and didn't even raise the knife. He just said: "Guo Cang, killing officials is equivalent to rebellion. It is a major crime to punish the nine tribes. I, Zhao Wu, stand here and don't move. Do you dare to kill me!" "
Holding the knife, Guo Cang was startled, turned around and ran towards the courtyard wall, jumping up to the top of the two-meter-high wall.
"What a fast reaction speed, faster than some of the great parkour masters on the planet!"
Before the five strong archers could get up, Zhao Wu slowly turned around again, and Wang Yuan felt that Guo Cang was about to run away.
Zhao Wu spoke again: "Guo Cang, do you really want to escape? You can escape, but where are your wife, children, and mother? They will all be imprisoned."
The crime of stealing from Daye was originally very serious. One person stole and his whole family and neighbors were implicated.
There have been frequent wars in recent years, and there have been too many thefts, so they have been dealt with more lightly.
Only the first criminal will be arrested, and the family will not be affected; however, if the first criminal escapes, the family will go to jail.
Guo Cang paused on the wall, with a gloomy expression on his face. Finally he jumped off the wall, threw away the long knife in his hand, knelt on the ground and raised his hands: "Senior Elder, it is no harm to my mother, wife and children. Guo Cang pleads guilty and is willing to obey the law."
Zhao Wu put away his oxtail knife and said, "As long as you don't make it difficult for me, my elders, I will not embarrass your family. Come and put on the shackles."
Five archers and strong men got up and put yoke on Guo Cang.
Wang Yuan was secretly shocked.
The people's hearts are like iron, and the king's law is like a furnace.
After two hundred and thirty-eight years of the Daye Dynasty, the king's law still has the power to deter thieves.
This Guo Cang gave up running away for the sake of his mother, wife and children, so he was considered a responsible man.
Not long after, Dahu, Erhu, five archers, and strong men came over, pressing the second brother Guo Liang and the third child Guo Qiang.
The three brothers have similar body shapes and looks, dark and thin.
The only difference is that the third child, Guo Qiang, looks pale and seems to be seriously injured.
A group of villagers gathered around!
"Senior Elder, please let my son go. He stole all because I, an old woman, buy medicine. Take me to the county government and go to jail for him!"
Guo's mother, who was hunchbacked, thin and white-haired, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Wang Yuan.
"Master Wang, please spare our master. He is wrong to steal, but he can't help it. My mother-in-law is sick and needs to take medicine. He can't make much money even if he works late at night. He has to take this road. Please forgive me." Show mercy and let him go, we will kowtow to you!"
The three wives took a group of children and knelt down to kowtow to Wang Yuan and Zhao Wu.
Wang Yuan couldn't help him up, so he had no choice but to turn away.
Zhao Wu looked indifferent.
"Hey, the three Guocang brothers are good people. If their father hadn't passed away three years ago and they were buried, my mother got sick and sold out all the land, and they were tenant farmers and they didn't have enough to eat, they wouldn't have become thieves. They would have become thieves. I have never stolen a grain of grain from anyone in my village."
"Senior Elder and Young Master Wang, please let them go. The three brothers are all good people."
"If you want to take away the three pillars of their family, how will their three families survive?"
The villagers whispered advice.
"Take care of my mother and children!"
The three brothers looked at their respective wives, kowtowed three times to their wives, and then said nothing.
Wang Yuan's heart felt as if someone had pinched him.
Hard work cannot support the mother, wife and children, so good people are forced to become thieves!
What kind of world is this special girl!
