The bumpy piggy bank, shaking.
The river pool is unpredictable, the water current and whirlpool, pig cage in the two were chained hands and feet, put a stone, such as being thrown into the river pool, there is no reason to survive.
Onlookers were furious, more than fifty years old elder waved his hand, shouted “sinking lake”.
Hey yo, hey yo ……
Eight sturdy juniors shouted, threw up the piggy bank, and were about to throw it into the river pool in front of them.
“Stop!”
Zhu Pingan once again stood out, how could he turn a blind eye to two human lives disappearing in front of him in such a brutal way as dipping a piggy bank. In order to get there, his voice was also more powerful than the previous times.
Zhu Pingan’s voice was obvious in the crowd, interrupting the postulant’s heave-ho rhythm.
The eight burly postulants moved with a lurch, turning their gazes over, and the old man in his fifties, with an angry face, glanced angrily at Zhu Pingan, “Again and again, what qualifications do you have as a foreigner to tell me what to do in my Ma’s village, and if you make any more trouble, don’t blame us for bullying the foreigners!”
“Qualifications?”
“Then you see if I have the qualifications?!”
Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly at the words, then reached out and took out the official disc, waving it in front of the crowd, especially the several old men.
Despite the fact that the Great Ming had enacted a unified law and order that travelled throughout the entire territory, the villages below would always traditionally elect a respected old man, or village headman, to make judgements on disputes and quarrels in the village. They could decide who was right and who was wrong, who should be punished, they could carry out lynchings, and they even had the power of life and death over the village.
Today’s piggy bank immersion is the death penalty of lynchings.
If it was a normal thing, Zhu Pingan would respect it, but when it comes to life, Zhu Pingan can’t turn a blind eye to it. Moreover, the way of immersion is too inhumane.
There was no way, life was at stake, so Zhu Pingan had to use his power to oppress people.
After thinking about it, it is also possible that they do not know the official ultimatum, so Zhu Pingan touched another ebony tooth plate from his waist, this is the rank identity certificate of the Ming Dynasty, on top of the basic personal information, official position and so on there is also the seal of the Hanlin Academy.
“Ah?”
“Herborist see Your Excellency.”
The elder in his fifties came closer to look at Zhu Pingan’s official ultimatum and the dental plate, his face changed and he was about to kneel down and salute. These township elders also had the opportunity to meet the county magistrate, and as they had also produced officials from Ma’s village, they were not unfamiliar with official ultimatums and toothplates, and instantly recognised them.
Ancient officialism was strong, and these villagers were in awe from the bottom of their bones when they saw an official.
Seeing the old man kneeling, the villagers knelt down one after another. Especially those eight juniors, they also hurriedly put the piggy bank on the shore and flung themselves on their knees.
The two people in the piggy bank saw this, and their desperate eyes glowed ……
How could Zhu Pingan bear to see such a big old man kneeling to himself, and hurriedly reached out to the villagers in front of a few old men to help up, especially the old man with a white beard was helped up by Zhu Pingan before he could kneel down. The other villagers also just kneeled down, and Zhu Pingan hurriedly made them stand up.
More than fifty years old old man in awe of Zhu Pingan’s status as an official, do not dare to order the sinking of the lake, but looking at the two in the piggy bank, pain in the heart, the heart of a wave of depression and indignation is difficult to dissolve, wrinkles on the brain almost squeezed into a capital “I do not serve”. The villagers are also, kneeling down because of Zhu Pingan’s official status, had to kneel down; all have a face of reluctance to look at the piggy bank, the heart is also ten thousand disobedience.
The villagers were in awe of Zhu Ping An, but their eyes and hearts were full of depression, resentment, disobedience and deep unwelcome.
While everyone was in awe of Zhu Ping An, there was also an upright figure that stood out. It was the old man who had started the conversation, with a white beard, his originally stooped back, but at the moment, it was as erect as relaxed.
“My lord, all evils can be stopped! Killing and setting fires is only a localised suffering, but the evils are harmful to people and themselves, and a lifetime of thinking about them will lead to all evils, and will ultimately destroy our Ma’s village! This is not alarmist talk, how many lessons have been learnt from the past!”
“Our Ma family village generations of farming and reading, the village wind is clean and upright, chastity five tablet, flagging the gate, the county honours the government honours also more commendation. Your Excellency is also a reader of the Four Books and Five Classics, starving to death is a small matter, but losing one’s chastity is a big matter, besides, this kind of thing that corrupts the culture of the village can never be tolerated, ah Your Excellency.”
People were in awe of Zhu Pingan and didn’t dare to come forward, but the white-bearded old man straightened his hunched back and stood in front of Zhu Pingan in pain.
Looking at the white-bearded old man in pain, Zhu Pingan slightly narrowed his eyes.
“Ai, I’m afraid that Your Excellency does not yet know the inside story.”The white-bearded old man sighed and looked at Zhu Pingan and said.
Zhu Pingan nodded, he had only just heard the general idea from the curses of the onlooker people towards the two people inside the piggy bank, but because of the people’s emotional state, it was inevitable that they would exaggerate or fictionalise the truth.
“This thing to start from nine years ago, when our village’s Master Wang business just started, Master Wang childhood poverty, more than ten years old in order to help the family, went to the town shop as an apprentice, because of the loyal and honest and motivated, in the shop soon boiled out of the head, from the apprentice slowly do the steward, the shopkeeper, got the master’s appreciation, to be able to open up a branch. Master Wang business never lack of catty, honest business, would rather lose their own satisfaction, with the reputation and word of mouth, and soon on the home. Master Wang in the village to set up a large property, but also the village to build a road, paved the bridge, built a school, who have difficulties he helped, never ask for return. Hey, a good man.”
“Master Wang in nine years ago to save a family, hey, that is that **** their family, their family that year suffered a disaster, her parents at the same time had a serious illness, the eye on the death, is the king heard, in addition to the silver to invite the city of the famous doctor to see the disease, spent hundreds of taels of silver. After the disease, his parents fancy Wang Laozi’s stature, said what the great kindness is not to be rewarded, crying and making a fuss, she was betrothed to Wang Laozi, but also a hundred taels of silver dowry …… Hey, insatiable ah, after the family, every year, every way from the hands of the Wang Laozi rake in the money, the Wang Laozi is also filial piety, no matter what they want to what they are given. These years down, their family’s original thatched cottage three acres of land, now all become two into the mansion three hundred acres of good land ……”
“Master Wang is also loyal and honest, married **** into the family, that is a hundred obedience, especially after **** giving birth to his son, it is all the family property to **** custody.”
“Hey, I can’t imagine, this kind of watery woman, Master Wang is so good to her, but she is hooking and hurting! Master Wang gets up early in the morning and works outside, but she hooks up with the steward of Master Wang’s house! Especially while Master Wang was away on business, he was even more unscrupulous, and the two of them slept together ……”
“That steward is that wolf-hearted beast!”White-bearded old man pointed to the pig cage that can not see the human form of indignation, “this animal since childhood mother loss, ten years old lost his father, and the pigs and dogs to compete for food, food is not enough to eat, clothes do not cover the body, it is Master Wang see him poor, kindly took him in, brought him to the side of the careful teaching, teach him to do business, teach him to survive the skills, but also promoted him to do the steward, and money to give him to start a family to marry a wife!……”
“But this kind of wolf hearted beast, not only do not thankful, eat master Wang’s food, receive master Wang’s money, live in master Wang’s house, but this beast has climbed the master mother’s bed, and that **** wolvish, not only take advantage of master Wang’s out of the kung fu and that **** line of metamorphic affairs, and in order to that **** metamorphic, but also in the capacity of a steward to intentionally lure the king to go out of the way toDoing business, every master Wang out of the courtyard door, this kind of adulterer **** will be big to do that and things, and the sound of …… this two scourges are not removed, my horse village shame regardless of the day day, the justice of the village!
White-bearded old man said here, the sky sad and angry, a few want to vomit blood.
Villagers and other people are also sighing in all directions
