As soon as Wang returned to her home in Xiaoxi Town, she was surrounded by curious family members asking questions.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Zhang family. She was born into the newly aristocratic Wang family. Although she attended on behalf of the Zhang family today, she still had other ideas about the news she received.
Lin Wanwan said that America is full of gold, and the Wang family must go back to her parents' home to mention it. The Wang family has a fleet.
"Sister-in-law, what about the house of Mr. Le'an who lives in the countryside? What about her herself? Is she vulgar and looks like a country woman? Is there a pile of chicken, duck and goose shit on the ground every three steps?" Her sister-in-law, Zhang's family
The second concubine asked curiously.
The sisters next to her frowned secretly when they heard what she said so bluntly and vulgarly, but their eyes were also full of curiosity.
"I'm not busy, let me change and wash myself." Ms. Wang did not answer immediately. Instead, she sent someone to carry down her son and daughter who fell asleep after playing tiredly on the way back. Then they changed their clothes and washed their faces before walking slowly to the main room.
An incense burner has been lit in the room, burning Baibu incense. Under the curling white smoke, curious faces are standing or sitting, all looking a little anxious.
Mrs. Wang secretly felt funny, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Le'an Xiangjun is not a vulgar country woman, she is exactly like a princess. What about three steps and one chicken... Even the doors and windows of her seaside manor are inlaid.
The colored glaze is more precious than floating cloud gauze, and there is a colored glaze flower room made of pure colored glaze right next to the main building."
"Wow! Pure Liuli? Isn't that the same as the Dragon King's Crystal Palace? Could it be that she is a dragon princess?"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you didn't deceive us, did you? Even the homes of princes and nobles can't afford a pure colored flower house."
The old god Wang said: "These are nothing, there are even more unbelievable things. Today's banquet, not to mention all kinds of delicacies, the fruits before the meal are lychees and cherries, and after the meal there are
The glass cups are served with two slices of cold melon and six purple pearl grapes per person!"
"Ah! Grapes! Six!" Everyone exclaimed, "There are also cold melons!"
Mrs. Zhang, who was making a fuss, even sighed: "Isn't that even more exaggerated than eating gold? Really or not."
Wang smiled lightly and didn't say much. Anyway, believe it or not.
"Sister-in-law, why are there lychees at this time of year? I heard my father mention that in Lingnan, lychees only mature in May and June. It's early spring now." Mrs. Zhang Sanniang asked.
Wang recalled Lin Wanwan's explanation at that time: "These lychees are not from Lingnan. According to Mr. Le'an Township, these are from some Australian continent. The cold and heat there are contrary to the cold and heat of the Tang Dynasty. It is winter here, but it is winter here.
It's summer. Senior Brother Jun from Le'an Township sailed to Australia and transplanted the lychee trees to the ship. It was just in time to pick them when he returned to Luang County."
"Ah, is there really such a place? Why are the cold and heat different from us?"
"It's amazing. Le'an Xiangjun's senior brother is really well-informed."
"What a great gesture!"
"Oh, regardless of whether there is anything contrary to the cold and heat of the Tang Dynasty, being rich is really wonderful. I am amazed to hear the wealth of the Lord of Le'an Township." He, the second granddaughter-in-law of the Zhang family, sighed.
.
"Haha, who says it's not?"
The same scene happened to other people attending the banquet today. Everyone had a preliminary understanding of the energy of this new Le'an Township Lord.
The other party has the entire Lin Family Village at her back. Although the sea people are poor, they are tough. In addition, there is a ranger brother with great supernatural powers, and a hermit master who left her countless treasures. He is also a cousin of the Xiao family, and was taken over by Xiao Ming.
A cousin recognized by the government.
It seems that this relative will still have to move around more in the future.
In the evening, the sound of horse hooves was heard at the entrance of the village. People who had eaten their fill and were singing and dancing on the playground heard the sound and crowded to the door to look around.
A handsome man in a green robe suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. He was dressed in bright clothes, angry with his horse, and looked impressive.
"It's Xiao Mingfu, he's here for dinner." The people from Linjiazhuang recognized the person, shrunk and hid in the yard, pretending they didn't know if they couldn't see him.
Lin Wanwan's villagers and distant relatives who came from outside to eat were talking with great interest: "They all say that Xiao Mingfu is Wan Niang's cousin. It seems to be true. Xiao Mingfu has personally
Come and congratulate her."
"Hey, should we go and see Xiao Ming's house?"
"Don't do it. You are clumsy and tongue-tied. If you say the wrong thing and anger Xiao Mingfu, you will be finished."
Basically everyone has this idea. It’s okay to take a look from a distance and say a few words, but it’s not necessary to go up to greet someone and say something back.
Now we have to prepare for spring plowing, and the labor work has come to an end. I heard that the county government is short of manpower, and even the criminals in prison are now being dragged to work on the other side of the weir.
But don't look too hard, he himself has been dragged into doing labor, and no one dares to approach Xiao Chong.
This Xiao Mingfu distributed salt, millet, rice, and dried meat to the elderly people over 70 in the county during the Chinese New Year, which caused a group of elderly people to cry out loud. However, he is also a man who can uproot the wealthy landlords in the blink of an eye.
Cruel man. This incident has spread widely in Luan County. For Xiao Chong, the people love, respect and fear him.
The eldest son of the Wang family in Xicheng, Xiaoxi Town, was at his home after the Lantern Festival when he was caught by a raid by the government officials and a member of the Xiao family.
It is said that he is the son of the Wang family, he has tattoos on his body, he is not a kind person, he bullies men and women, he is bold and reckless, he seizes the wives of good people as concubines, he forces good people to become lowly, and now the suffering master beats the drum to complain.
A thorough investigation revealed more things.
On the surface, Wang Dashan's family is hypocritical, but in reality they are cruel and cruel. They raise thugs from outside, causing harm to the village. They beat slaves to death for trivial matters at home, and found the skeletons of five young girls in the abandoned well sealed in the Wang family's backyard. There are also several other things.
The old cases were also confirmed to be their fault, including burglaries, stealing secret recipes from neighbors, and other evil deeds, which are too numerous to mention.
In the end, the Wang family was fined 10,000 pieces of gold and 1,000 bolts of silk. The three culprits, father and son, were sentenced to death by hanging. The others were sentenced to three years in prison. The old, young, and women were sentenced to commensurate punishment, and they were not punished with copper as compensation.
The Wang family's women, young and old, sold their houses and farmland to collect fines and their own ransoms. Since then, they have fallen from being rich to becoming ordinary people with only one yard to live in.
This case of the Wang family is the biggest case that Xiao Chong has handled since he took office. He was handled vigorously and quickly, and others had no time to plead for mercy.
It is said that the Wang family brought this incident on themselves, and the victims in the incident also received compensation from the Wang family. The people were naturally happy, but in fact, in the eyes of the gentry and nobles in Luan County, this was Xiao Chong's warning and provocation to them.
What does it mean to rob women, beat slaves to death, and misappropriate other people's property and secret recipes? Their biggest crime was not expressing their opinions quickly when Xiao Chong told them that the streets in the west of the city were dirty and needed to be renovated and cleaned up. It is still possible.
It was also one of the original sins for them to reach out to Lin's Wanniang.
Who doesn't know that Lin Wanwan is Xiao Chong's savior?
This incident also made everyone understand that Xiao Chong, a strong dragon with no martial ethics, may appear calm and gentle on the surface, but in reality he is ruthless and very difficult to mess with.
