Seeing Mr. Zhang's disbelieving look and the way he was vomiting blood, Li Yang's smile widened.
He said slowly: "You have also been on the battlefield and served in the army. You should know what position I can wear this armor, right?"
"It's just a seventh-grade general banner. If your eldest grandson can be admitted as a Juren or Jinshi, he will start from the seventh-grade county magistrate. No matter how powerful he is, if he becomes an upper-level county magistrate, he will start from the sixth grade.
He is a high-ranking military officer, but he is much better than a seventh-grade military attache like me!"
"By the way, when did your eldest grandson win the exam?"
Li Yang said for a while, then suddenly realized something, "Oh! I forgot, your second granddaughter committed a crime, which caused everyone to be imprisoned! I heard that she will be exiled in the future?"
"This is an exile, but there is no possibility of coming back. The northwest mines are a dark place. There are endless mines to dig and endless work to do every day. Your eldest grandson should not be able to take the imperial examination again, right?"
"What a pity!"
"I'm still waiting for your grandsons to shine, so you can proudly show off in front of me and ridicule me for not being as good as your grandsons!"
Li Yang did not lower his voice, and everyone in the cell could hear what he said.
Zhang Laodou's eyes were scarlet, and his whole body was trembling and angry!
Those who were close enough could clearly hear his heavy breathing, as if he could breathe out at any time.
Opposite him, Zhang Song's face was extremely ugly. He stared at Li Yang's back, wishing to eat his flesh and blood.
He was already very angry and wanted to crush Zhang Xinghua, this damned evil spirit, but Li Yang still came to laugh at him like this!
Forget the joke, he had always looked down on Li Yang, his cousin who had the same grandmother but different grandfather, who only knew how to hang around with second-rate men and sneak around all day long.
But now, he is a prisoner, and the other party is an official. Such different situations are really a big joke!
Zhang Song was so angry that he almost went crazy.
The expressions of the others, Zhang Gugua, Feng, Zhang Digua and Liu, were not much better.
They never imagined that the bastard who they looked down on in the past and the stupid boy with no future would one day turn around and become a general bannerman or a seventh-grade official!
Looking back, how proud and superior they were in the past, now they are in such embarrassment and miserable condition.
But this damn boy is still showing off and showing off.
What if I really want to rush out and strangle him to death?
It's a pity that they are in a cell and others are outside.
Mr. Zhang was so angry that he stared at Li Yang, but he couldn't say a word, and he didn't know what to say.
What Li Yang said on that rainy day on Songshan Mountain echoed in his ears.
"Kill you? Killing you like this is too easy for you. I have to see with your own eyes what kind of talent you have, and let you see what kind of talent you have for the honest and cowardly Li Dachui that you look down on.
A promising person."
"Let's see when the time comes. Will your great grandson win the election and become an official, or will I be able to make a successful return home?"
"Keep your life alive and watch over it!"
again and again.
Coupled with the current situation, Li Yang seemed to be looking at him with a high and aloof attitude.
Ever since his children and grandchildren were imprisoned, Zhang Laodou, who had been tortured and mentally tortured, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Blood splattered from his mouth like pillars. He tilted his head, rolled his eyes, and rolled over.
The cell boss and the jailers were also deep inside. Hearing and watching how angry Li Yang was at Mr. Zhang, who was vomiting blood and tilting his head, his face was pale, and he was afraid that something was wrong. The cell boss quickly gave the jailer a wink.
.
The jailer understood, squatted down and reached in to check Lao Dou's breathing.
Suddenly, his hand shook, he looked up at his head, and shook his head.
died?
The cell leader trembled and subconsciously looked at Li Yang.
Li Yang looked at him, "I heard that Mr. Zhang has been having a fever these days. Didn't the county magistrate ask a doctor to see him? What did the doctor say?"
The doctor said I won’t have long to live again, but it won’t be so soon!
This man was clearly pissed off by Li Yang.
But the man is already dead, how dare he offend the people in front of the prince, whom all the county magistrates are fawning over?
The prison head said sternly: "The doctor said that this old man is at the end of his life and has less than two days to live. I guess he will die today and tomorrow. This is what his fate is, but it's all going to happen anyway.
Damn it, it's good luck for him to escape the fate of being separated."
"Wang Er, hurry up and report to the county magistrate that Mr. Zhang is no longer ill."
Jailer Wang Er received the message and left immediately.
Opposite Zhang Gugua and others only saw Mr. Zhang vomiting blood twice, and the last time he rolled his eyes and tilted his head, thinking he had fainted.
Unexpectedly, when the jailer sniffed and Li Yang said something like this, the prison head would open his eyes and tell lies, saying that the person's illness was gone.
Zhang Song, who was already extremely angry, suddenly shouted out, "My grandfather did not die of illness! It was Li Yang who murdered my grandfather! You officials protect each other and want to cover up his crimes and bend the law for personal gain?!"
Zhang Song, Zhang Gugua and others also hurriedly joined the front and started shouting loudly. They kept pleading for Zhang Laodou and denounced the murderer on his behalf.
But in fact, no one is really that sad about Lao Dou Zhang dying like this.
They just couldn't see Li Yang gaining power, so they took advantage of the slightest opportunity and wanted to bring him down from that height.
Therefore, they spared no effort to do this, shouting until their voices were hoarse and the cell was shaking like it was about to collapse.
The cell leader didn't even need to look at Li Yang. He raised his hand and gave a signal to the jailers.
Then the guards opened the door with sticks and went in, beating Zhang Song and others who were shouting hard with sticks.
The prison chief looked at the people who were huddled and groaning in pain, and sneered unceremoniously: "You still have the energy to care about others? Look how busy you are!
You will have a better time when you hit the road tomorrow! It would be best if you don’t die on the road of exile! But if you make it to the northwest mines alive, what awaits you will never see the light of day, and it will be worse than death!"
As soon as the cell leader said these words, everyone thought that it was a foregone conclusion that they would be exiled in the future, and for a moment they couldn't help but feel sad.
The united front just now collapsed immediately, and everyone else cursed and resented Zhang Digua and his wife.
Zhang Digua himself was filled with grief and anger. He wished he had never given birth to that harmful daughter and was condemned by everyone. At this time, he had no strength to defend himself.
Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at Zhang Hugua's family in An Ran's corner diagonally across the street. He looked at Li Yang standing in the aisle, felt evil in his heart, and said loudly: "Fourth! Look at your good nephew! He is an official now.
How promising are you? But no matter how promising you are, no one will save your family! No matter how good you are eating and drinking for so many days, you are not going to be exiled with us in the end? You might even die on the road! How miserable? What a pity.
!”
Zhang Hugua heard this and understood that he was trying to sow discord!
Do you want him to hate his second brother and the others?
He's not stupid.
Isn't it the third child's good daughter who caused their family to be exiled?
The second brother stayed in the county and worked tirelessly to deliver food and drinks every day. After so many days of good food and drink, he accepted the fate of being exiled in the end.
He ignored Zhang Digua at all. Seeing that Li Yang was so successful now, he was happy for his second brother and sister-in-law, and also for his mother.
Zhang Hugua ignored him, but the prison boss smiled at Zhang Digua, "I told you not to worry so much, but you still didn't listen! Do you need to take care of others?"
"Let me tell you! Mr. Li has made great contributions to the Changsheng Army this time. Prince Changshan promised to help him intercede with the Holy Emperor and punish Zhang Hugua and his family. In the future, they will not go on the road with you!"
