Chapter 144 Regret! regret!
After arresting all the Zhang clan members, Qinglong immediately took his Jinyi guards and the captured prisoners to the Wang family compound.
Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the Wang family compound.
In the courtyard of the Zhang family, after witnessing the human tragedy of Jin Yiwei arresting people with genealogy, the head of the Wang family, Wang Ze, felt terrified.
Seeing that the Jin Yiwei came to the Wang family compound at this moment, I still didn’t know what the Jin Yiwei thought, so I screamed anxiously.
"Where are you going?!"
"Stop! Stop!"
"Children! Run! Run!"
" Jinyiwei is here! Everyone in the Wang clan, run away!”
“…”
Wang Ze couldn't call Jin Yiwei, so he could only shout loudly outside the door.
I hope the Wang clan members in the Wang family compound can hear his shouts and escape in advance.
Qinglong did not stop Wang Ze from shouting. He just glanced at him, then walked forward and opened the door of the Wang family courtyard.
As the door of the Wang family was pushed open, a pungent smell of blood suddenly floated out from the door.
In the Wang family compound just inside the door, there were criss-cross traces of blood flowing on the ground.
The pale ice and snow and the bright red blood intertwined together, turning the ground into a blur and muddy mess.
The bodies of several members of the Wang family lay in the cold snow, looking out the door with empty eyes.
Several Jin Yiwei who had their backs to the door turned around and saluted the green dragon outside the door.
"Second Master!"
Qinglong walked into the Wang family courtyard, looked around, and asked: "Where is Third Master?"
"Back to the second master, the third master went to the ancestral hall to get the Wang family genealogy!"
Qinglong nodded and stopped talking.
Outside the Wang Family Courtyard, Wang Ze stared blankly at the Wang Family Courtyard, which had become like a hell on earth.
He suddenly recalled the warm times he had spent in this compound.
At that time, he was still very young, his father was still the master of the family, and he was still a carefree young man of the Wang family.
Four wet nurses circled around him, sixteen maids played with him, and twenty-eight servants were at his disposal.
Later he grew up, became the head of the Wang family, and married the legitimate daughter of a great Shanxi merchant from another county.
He took in eleven concubines, and had twenty-seven maidservants to serve him. He gave birth to six fat boys, and more than seven hundred tenants paid him rent every year.
Later, his son grew up and began to help take care of the family business. He also had his own maidservant and was about to marry a wife and have children.
I originally thought that he would grow old in this compound like his father in the rest of his life.
And his descendants, like him, will marry wives and concubines, have children, buy land and collect rent, and continue to live an ordinary life in this compound.
But unexpectedly, overnight, the originally warm and lovely Wang family compound turned into a purgatory on earth!
Those scenes of fun and family joy in the past have become memories forever!
“No!!!!”
Wang Ze’s eyes widened and turned red, and he roared at the top of his lungs.
Then Wang Ze became so angry that he vomited out two mouthfuls of blood, his vision went dark, and he passed out.
Qinglong and the other Jin Yiwei stood there, not even interested in looking back at Wang Ze.
Soon, the white tiger walked out of the backyard.
"Second Master, has the Zhang family finished handling it?"
Qinglong nodded: "It has finished handling it. It happened that Hou Wei, Wu Yong and Wang Ze were also at the Zhang family, so they were joined by me. It saves some effort to catch him.”
Bai Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "I just said why I couldn't find Wang Ze. I thought he ran away early, but I didn't expect he was at Zhang's house."
"Since you caught him, then I'm relieved."
"Except for Wang Ze and Wang Yao, everyone who is still alive in the Wang family tree has been arrested."
Bai Hu said, behind Chao Qinglong. The captured person glanced twice, and his face suddenly became serious.
“Where is Wang Yao?”
Qinglong's expression also changed slightly: "There is only Wang Ze in the Zhang family courtyard, not Wang Yao!"
Where did Wang Yao go? !
Wang Yao is the eldest son of Wang Ze, the future head of the Wang family in Puzhou, and the core figure of the Wang family in Puzhou.
This person must not be lost!
If it is lost, no one of them can afford it if His Majesty comes to investigate!
Qinglong and Baihu looked at each other and turned their attention to Wang Ze who was fainting on the ground.
......
Wang Ze woke up from the pain.
When his consciousness woke up from the darkness, the first thing he felt was the pain coming from underneath his body.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
The severe pain made him couldn't help but cry out in agony. He opened his eyes suddenly, and what he saw was the green dragon and white tiger with ferocious faces.
He looked at his lower body and found that he was being hung in mid-air by a rope. One end of the rope was wrapped around the beam and was being held in the hands of two royal guards.
Under him, there was a rough wooden stick standing, and the tip of the stick had already sunk into his body. At this moment, Jin Yiwei was executing a beating with a stick that made people change their color and frighten him!
After Wang Ze suffered this torture, he was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely from the pain, his face became extremely pale, and he kept wailing from his mouth.
Qinglong and Baihu watched Wang Ze being tortured coldly. After letting Wang Ze howl miserably for a quarter of an hour, Qinglong raised his hand and made a stop gesture.
Jin Yiwei, who was responsible for pulling the rope, quickly pulled the rope downwards. Wang Ze was also lifted up by the rope and moved up a small part.
But just moving this small part immediately caused Wang Ze to wail in pain.
"Ahhhhhh!!! It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"Please let me go, please!!! Stop torturing me!"
"Kill me! Kill me now!!!"
"Kill me quickly! Kill me!"
"..."
Qinglong stared into Wang Ze's eyes and asked sternly: "Say! Where is Wang Yao!"
Qinglong's words made Wang Ze's brain go blank in pain, and he suddenly regained consciousness for a moment.
That’s right, the Wang family hasn’t been completely wiped out yet!
His eldest son, the future head of the Wang family in Puzhou, the last hope and the last fire of the Wang family, is still doing business in Xuanfu!
At this time, Wang Ze had only one thought in his mind.
That means they must not be allowed to catch Wang Yao!
Wang Ze bit his lip and remained silent.
"Don't tell?"
Qinglong has seen many people who won't cry even if they see the coffin. He has a hundred ways to pry open their mouths.
A cold arc appeared at the corner of Qinglong's mouth: "Let go!"
The Jin Yiwei who was responsible for pulling the rope suddenly let go of his hand, and Wang Ze's body fell straight down, and was hit by the wooden stick under him. Hold on tight.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Wang Ze let out another miserable scream of pain. The scream was so shrill that even Zhang Yi, his son and others who were locked in the next room could hear clearly.
Zhang Ning's hands and feet were tied, huddled in the corner of the room, shivering.
He listened to Wang Ze's screams in his ears, staring blankly ahead, feeling regretful in his heart.
He regrets it so much!
He really regrets it!
Why did the Zhang family and Wang family end up in this situation?
If he had known earlier, resisting his father-in-law would be the result of this.
Given him a hundred courages, he would not dare to incite his tenants to engage in a civil uprising!
Being cleared of their land will only mean that from now on, they will have to pay taxes on every acre of land under their name.
But if you resist to clear your father-in-law's land, your family will be destroyed, your family will be confiscated and your clan will be destroyed!
If you want to blame, blame the current emperor, he is too unreasonable!
The civil uprising was caused by the people of Puzhou. The emperor did not arrest the troublemakers and did not even investigate them. Why did he arrest the Zhang family and the Wang family? !
No evidence!
There is no evidence!
You cannot arrest people at will without evidence!
Zhang Ning clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely regretful and resentful of Zhu Youtang for not following the rules.
Beside Zhang Ning, Zhang Yi listened to Wang Ze's continuous screams, and was so frightened that his whole body trembled and twitched.
Zhang Yi also felt extremely regretful and full of fear of death.
His life was so beautiful in the past. He was well clothed and well-fed since he was a child. He never lacked a husband and a concubine, and there were many people around him to take care of him.
He is only twenty years old and he has not enjoyed enough. He just wants to continue to enjoy these luxurious lives. What is wrong with him? !
Zhang Yi now resents everyone in the world equally, including his father Zhang Ning.
If Zhang Ning hadn’t come up with such a bad idea, how could he have lost such a beautiful life?
Thinking of this, his eyes looked at Zhang Yi with a bit of resentment.
On the other side, Hou Wei, who was lying on the ground covering his legs and wailing, felt even more regretful.
It’s not that he regretted participating in the Puzhou Civil Uprising.
He was a Qianhusuo Qianhu and an officer of the garrison. It was an undisputed death penalty for an officer to privately occupy the fields of a military household.
If he didn't fight for it and were found by Wang Yan and others on the fields where the guards were stationed, he would definitely die.
So he never regretted participating in the private affairs. He just regretted why he came to the Zhang Family Courtyard to drink this celebration wine tonight.
If he was still in the guardhouse, he would definitely be able to break through the siege of the Jinyi Guards with his own soldiers, escape, and live happily in another place.
No, he should have run away with his soldiers when Wang Yan and the others arrived at the border of Jinzhou!
With the support of these hundreds of soldiers, even if he falls into the trap of being a bandit, his life will be quite comfortable.
Regret! Regret!
Of course, the one who regrets even more is the magistrate of Puzhou, Wu Yong.
He should not have come to Pu County to be this official!
When he was assigned to Pu County as the magistrate, he should have returned home as an official!
He is a county magistrate, what can he do? !
He can't do anything!
He simply can't fight against the Zhang and Wang families who have been operating in Puzhou for hundreds of years. His best choice is to accept their money and become their dog.
In the past two years as a county magistrate, apart from receiving hundreds of taels of silver from the Zhang and Wang families, what else has he gained? !
I regret it!
regret! ! !
