Chapter 33 The Master of Qi Zhuang, who was disarmed and returned to the field
Wang Ping'an was put into a sack, and he was frightened and could not express his feelings. He had never encountered such a thing in modern times. This was the first time in the Tang Dynasty, and he had no experience to find. He had to ask for good words in the sack. A hero would not suffer the loss in front of him. If he pretended to be tough at this time, it would be too unwise.
He said, "Two heroes, the young actors really have no money. They just passed by. It's useless for you to tie me up. I have no money and no color. I can't get any benefits if I robbed me!"
A strong man carried him on his back, patted his butt through the sack, and smiled and said, "Who said that those who took the stick in the middle of the night must be robbers, and they must tie your tickets? We are the people of Mazhuang, and the serious people are not robbers!"
"It's not a robber, why do I do with a sack?" Wang Ping'an was so frustrated that he wanted to struggle, but was afraid of losing money in front of him.
Another strong man said, "You send him back first, don't hurt him, otherwise it will be difficult to talk to the yamen. I'll wait here to see if there are anyone else coming to find someone again."
With a huh, the big man with Wang Ping'an on his back strides and trots all the way. No matter how much Wang Ping'an asked him on the way, he would not answer!
After a long bumpy period, the strong man stopped and seemed to have arrived at someone's place. Wang Ping'an was unable to see him through the sack, but he heard many people talking, and the sound was all men. Wang Ping'an complained in his heart, this is coming to the robber's nest, it's deadly, it's deadly!
Someone asked, "Why did Lao San, why did he bring this one back after ambushing for most of the day? Didn't the people from Wuli Village come to look for them and let these people stay in our village?"
The strong man carrying Wang Ping'an said, "Where did I know what the people in Wuli Village are thinking? It's not midnight yet. I guess I didn't expect us to be able to get people!" He put down the sack and put Wang Ping'an out.
Wang Ping'an felt the fire in front of him shining. After adapting for a while, he opened his eyes and found that he was in a large courtyard. In front of him was a vast hall, which looked like a ancestral hall. There were two strong men standing neatly in the courtyard, holding torches in their hands and straight waists. From their standing posture, they all seemed to be well-trained and had the temperament of military soldiers, but they did not look like bandits and robbers.
"Ping An, Ping An, why are you arrested?" Suddenly someone shouted.
Wang Ping'an was stunned. Isn't this my father's voice? He looked into the ancestral hall and saw that there were several rows of tablets on the hall. A big man sat down at the side of the tablet table, and next to the big man was his father Wang Youcai. Five or six people were squatting beside Wang Youcai, all of whom were villagers of Wuli Village. Not far behind them were five or six strong men, all tall and standing straight, like nails.
Before Wang Ping'an answered, the man in the hall said, "Where is Mr. Wang saying that he is said to be arrested? He is also said to be "also"? We are the place where the imperial court recuperate the military, and we abide by the law and never arrest people randomly! Mr. Wang comes to us, we are keeping guests. This young master comes here, we use the invitation!"
Wang Youcai was not in the mood to reason with the big man. He stood up and said, "Son, why did you come here? If you have something to do at home, go home quickly!" As he said that, he wanted to come over, but a big man behind him pressed his big hand and pressed Wang Youcai back into the chair.
The strong man who asked He Lao San to push Wang Ping'an and push him into the hall. Wang Ping'an was pushed into the house and was surprised. It turned out that this was not a robber's nest, but a resting place for the soldiers in the palace? Why did his father get involved in the army? What was going on?
He came behind Wang Youcai, grabbed his father's hand and said, "Dad, what's wrong? Our family hasn't paid enough taxes?"
Wang Youcai held his son's hand tightly and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If this matter cannot be resolved today, then I will really not be able to pay taxes in the future!"
The big man snorted and said, "Mr. Wang is joking. We are not trying to occupy all the river water. Why do you say it so miserable, as if we bullied you!"
Wang Youcai thought to himself: "Isn't it just bullying people? He held me and arrested my son. It's not bullying people. Is it still a way to serve people?" He was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
The man in the hall picked up two pieces of paper from the coffee table, shook it, and said, "Do you press the handprints of this contract? If you don't want to press it, you can ask your son to press it. Well, this is your young master? He looks handsome, but his body is a little thin!"
Wang Youcai shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "I can't press this handprint. Your contract is to cut off the livelihood of our entire village. How can I agree? I don't press the handprint or press it!"
Some of the big men who were guarding them shouted angrily: "Don't toast or not eat and punish the wine. Now we just want to share some river water. If we get it to the yamen, we will divide your fields together!"
Although Wang Youcai is usually a good man and is easy to talk to, he is not weak at all when encountering major problems. No matter how the men shout and threaten them, he just doesn't nod. Wang Ping'an couldn't figure out what was going on and couldn't help his father.
When he was screaming, he suddenly ran into a servant and lay in the ear of the big man in the hall and said a few words. The big man's face changed and he stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, if you can't figure it out, then we will go to the city to meet the officials tomorrow!" As he said that, he walked into the back hall with a hurry and looked like he was doing.
Then Wang Ping'an asked his father in a low voice, who was this person and what happened, and he was going to make trouble for the officials. Wang Youcai said a few words to him, and Wang Ping'an understood.
It turns out that Fangmazhuang is different from Wuli Village. Wuli Village is a place where ordinary people live, while Fangmazhuang is a place for rest for veterans, half farming and half soldiers. To this day, it is still providing the court with the source of military troops.
The old owner of Fangmazhuang was named Qi Boss. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang, was rebelled. He was a soldier in the army at that time. He served as a brigade leader and made a lot of contributions. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the original soldiers were all assigned more or less. The fields that Qi Boss and his soldiers were divided were outside Xuzhou City, which was the most fertile land, and was located in the upper reaches of Xiaoxigou River. The name of Fangmazhuang was taken from the meaning of Xiejia and returning to the fields and horses in the south mountain.
The Xiaoxigou River is a tributary of the Yellow River. It is not too large and the amount of water is not large. It is Fangmazhuang in the upper reaches, while Wuli Village is located in the lower reaches of the river. For farmers who farm for a living, water is life. Without water, it cannot irrigate the crops, there will be no harvest, and there will be no food to eat. Therefore, the river water in Xiaoxigou is a very important production resource.
During the day today, Wang Ping'an treated Wang Fusheng and once mentioned not to drink river water. Wang Youcai was worried. He felt that the water level of the river seemed to have been much lower these days, so he led the villagers along the river to see what the reason was.
As a result, I found Fangmazhuang all the way and found that the people in the village had a break in the river channel, dug a small river channel, and diverted a lot of the river water, which caused the water volume downstream to decrease! Wang Youcai immediately stopped doing it. When Fangmazhuang first built the village, he had a contract with Wuli Village, specifically talking about the problem of river water. At that time, the old owner, Boss Qi, came here and was very happy to speak. He promised not to split the river channel without authorization, so as not to cause insufficient water volume in the lower reaches and affect the harvest.
But this year, the old owner, Boss Qi, was no longer in charge of the matter. His son Qi Huan became the family and became the new owner. He didn't say he had to discuss it with Wang Youcai, and then split the river. Wang Youcai came to him for reason, but he even deducted Wang Youcai and insisted on signing a new contract and clearly agreed to redistribute the river in writing! How could Wang Youcai agree to such a thing? This is a big issue about future life, and it is absolutely no discussion!
Wang Ping'an was one big and two big, and the pain was so severe that he whispered: "Dad, they are soldiers in the government, so there are naturally people in the government. We are afraid that we will suffer a loss when we sue!"
Wang Youcai sighed: "So, you must pass the imperial examination in the future. Don't let your father be so old, and you will still be so cowardly!"
