Turbulent Times Chapter 397: A strong man breaks his wrist
Wang Junlin held the long suicide note in Wang Junlin's hand, expressing the remorse and guilt of the Yang family in Longxi.
He did not expect that the struggle between the clans would be so cruel and tragic. Once he turned his face, he would never show any mercy. His attack was a fatal move, even a dog in the enemy's house would not be spared, and that Hong Nong Yang or Yang Su actually forced these more than a hundred people to commit suicide. These lives were wiped out of existence and disappeared forever in the world. They failed to leave a good reputation after death. Escaping the words "suicide in fear of crime" can be said to be a bloodthirsty death.
Although the man died, he still wanted to search. Hundreds of cavalry rushed into the mansion and began to search extensively. After a while, soldiers came to report: "Master Imperial Envoy, we found something!"
Wang Junlin and Zhou Wen urged their horses to go to the empty house, only to see the door of the house was wide open, and the soldiers carried out large wooden boxes from the basement, piled up the yard, there were twenty large boxes, the upper right corner of the wooden box The word "Yang's Mansion" is written on it.
"Pry open the box!"
Wang Junlin gave an order, and the soldiers stepped forward to pry the box one after another, 'Wow! ’ There was a metallic sound, and hundreds of weapons, including knives and spears and crossbows, slid out from a large box.
"This is also a weapon!"
"Here too!"
The soldiers shouted one after another. The twenty large boxes were filled with all kinds of prohibited weapons. The soldiers counted them one by one and compiled records. There were as many as 700 military crossbows alone, and a total of 5,000 weapons.
Wang Junlin took a deep breath and said to Zhou Wen: "Master Zhou, this Hongnong Yang family has hidden weapons, and they have ulterior motives!"
Zhou Wen was a little scared. He hesitated and said: "Although there are weapons hidden, we have not found out that the Yang family has a private army. Who will use so many weapons?"
Wang Junlin glanced at him, and said coldly: "It seems that Mr. Zhou is a little forgetful. Are there not many bandits like Iron Spear Village in Longxi County? These people dare to attack Wushan County. It is not the private army but the What?"
Zhou Wen took a breath, and immediately understood what Wang Junlin meant, and at the same time remembered the agreement between himself and Wang Junlin. It's just that he is very clear about the consequences of writing this memorial? He completely offended Hongnong Yang's family and Yue State Duke Yang Su to death.
"Master Zhou, according to our agreement, you will write the memorial, and I will give you all the evidence, as well as witnesses." After a pause, Wang Junlin watched him and continued: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou There will never be any future troubles, and if Master Zhou wants to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by His Majesty, he has to go all out and not be afraid of offending the family. It is true that this Marquis has made some great achievements, but being able to be so trusted by His Majesty Hou is never afraid of offending the family members, not to mention that this memorial will be signed by both of you and me."
Zhou Wen sighed for a long time, still feeling guilty in his heart, cursing secretly, thinking, Zhou Wen is only an ordinary civil servant, how can he compare with you, a peerless murderer. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, I know what to do."
…
Five days later, the impeachment report co-authored by Wang Junlin and Zhou Wen was sent to the capital. The weapons are exactly the same. When Wang Junlin got the news, he mobilized troops to arrest the rebels of the Yang family. Unexpectedly, he was a step too late, and the Yang family committed suicide in fear of crime.
This memorial caused an uproar in the court, and Emperor Yang Jian was naturally extremely furious.
The news of the hanging beams of the Yang family in Longxi had also reached the Yang family of Hongnong at this time. The Yang family of Hongnong was furious. The aristocratic family, one is the most powerful Zhongxing family in the Sui Dynasty. The two sides officially entered a state of hostility. Public opinion was created among the people, and in the end, the civil war gradually developed into a military battle. The families of both sides cleared their own territory, cut off each other's business channels and connections, expelled wealthy landlords who had ties to each other, and put pressure on the government. Each has its own winners and losers, and there is a lot of trouble.
At the same time, Yang Jian reprimanded Yang Su in front of all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. His tone was extremely severe. The farmer Yang's family had ten thousand catties of copper. Yang Su even pleaded guilty and dared not have any dissent.
At this point in the development of the matter, Yang Su knew that he was tricked by Wang Junlin and the Longxi Li family. Facing the evidence that the other party sent to the court, any defense in the court was meaningless. Yang Su knew the current affairs, and the current situation was obvious. Although he was extremely angry, it would undoubtedly be unwise to act arrogantly and arrogantly at this time, and it would only create opportunities for the emperor to further weaken them Hongnong Yang Shi, and even took the opportunity to remove him from the position of Prime Minister Shangshu Youpushe.
Therefore, Yang Su quickly changed his attitude. He did not defend himself from the beginning to the end, and delivered a confession memorial to Yang Jian. I and the Yang family of Hongnong have no knowledge of this. It is all the work of the branch of the Yang family. The Yang family of Hongnong has called the whole family to worship at the ancestral hall, and announced that the Yang family of Longxi County will be removed from the genealogy and plead guilty to the court. Please The imperial court strictly ordered the investigation, and the Hongnong Yang family would never take sides and cover up. As the patriarch of the Hongnong Yang family, he, Yang Su, punished himself by fasting for seven days to atone for his sins...
The viper stings the hand, the strong man cuts off the wrist, after weighing the pros and cons, Yang Su made the most correct and rational decision.
So far, the chaos in Longxi County caused by the prophecy has gradually settled down.
At this time, over the three counties in the north of Yongzhou, a round of bright sun was shining, the ice and snow thawed, everything was reborn, birds were singing, insects were singing and flowers were fragrant everywhere, welcoming this belated spring.
A few days later, the weather became warmer and warmer, and I really felt the breath of spring. The victims of the disaster in the three counties in the north of Yongzhou couldn't stay any longer, and recommended several famous elders to come out. I talked with the government once, and it probably means that the people in each village and township do not want to receive any more relief, and they are willing to return to their villages and hometowns. The land has thawed, and although the spring sowing is missed, the land cannot be abandoned. If you can’t grow food, you can still grow beans. Planting green vegetables and all crops that can catch up with the farming season, everyone worked together to survive this disaster year and plan for a better future next year.
Wang Tong, governor of Yongzhou, agreed to the people's request on behalf of the court, and also promised that the court's relief to the people will not stop, the relief food will be distributed to each village, and each village will receive food every day. Shared virtue, shared adversity, and survived this calamity year together.
