Seven large carriages came slowly, with six burly men standing beside each carriage. Someone was beating gongs and drums, attracting countless people to watch and ask curious questions. Someone immediately stepped forward to answer questions.
Soon, the motorcade stopped at the gate of Duke Yi's Mansion. A man in brocade clothes got out of the carriage, clasped his fists and shouted enthusiastically to the onlookers: "My fellow neighbors, I am the Wang family of Taiyuan, Wang Tongyuan, please be polite!"
After saying that, the man in brocade bowed his luggage with a humble attitude and a smile on his face, which made people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
Everyone's goodwill immediately increased greatly, especially the people who worked for the Wang family and relied on the Wang family for survival. Some unfamiliar people were curious to find out the news from people around them.
Wang Tongyuan, a man in brocade clothes, continued: "Everyone, please listen to the next words."
The scene became quiet, and everyone looked at Wang Tongyuan curiously. He was a dignified son of the Wang family, with a distinguished status, and it was difficult to meet him in ordinary times. He did not expect to be so humble and polite to everyone, and his ears pricked up.
Wang Tongyuan waited for the scene to quiet down and then continued: "Dear neighbors, I, the Wang family, have a family that is based on benevolence and righteousness. However, a few days ago there was a big treacherous person. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be good and bad in the family. The Wang family has a big business, so it is even more difficult.
Defense, everyone agrees, right?"
"right--"
"Your Majesty, among the three sons of my family, one of them does nothing for others. There are countless members of the Wang family, and one or two are inevitable. The Wang family is benevolent and righteous, and there are countless living people. He is a great good person!"
"That's right, the Wang family is benevolent and righteous. If the Wang family hadn't provided food for everyone, the small family of five would have turned into dust long ago."
…
Several people in the crowd shouted emotionally, one after another.
After hearing what several people said, everyone's impression of the Wang family increased greatly.
After the crowd, Qin Huaidao, who came over, happened to see this scene and saw that many bad people were maintaining the scene. He did not stop him, his face changed slightly, and he said to Wang De who was traveling with him: "Father, the Wang family is manipulating public opinion, does your Majesty not care about it?
"
"Really? I didn't see it. I've seen a lot of similar things." Wang De looked forward in surprise. He was just talking. How could he control public opinion? He couldn't figure it out.
Qin Huaidao explained in a low voice: "Did you see those people who answered the call just now? They were all hired by the Wang family. They deliberately said that the Wang family was benevolent and righteous, so that the people would think it was not surprising that there was a Wang Hu. This was to clear away the suspicion of intentional homicide.
, a good way to maintain the reputation of the Wang family."
"It makes some sense." Wang De reacted and his eyes turned cold.
At this time, Wang Tongyuan continued: "Wang Hu, a member of the Wang clan, built a dam to block water without permission a few days ago. In his impulsiveness, he injured the tenants of Duke Yi and sent them to the county government. It was simply outrageous.
Ji, the crime was serious. When my father learned about the situation, he was very ashamed and ordered me to bring compensation. One thousand taels per person, a total of 65,000 taels, all in the car. The money was not much, hoping to comfort the victim.
"
He was obviously beaten to death, but he only mentioned injuries. He was obviously sentenced to compensation, but he said he took the initiative to compensate. Qin Huaidao completely reacted. First of all, it is inevitable for everyone to have a disobedient person, so everyone thought it was not surprising that the Wang family had a king tiger.
You can forgive, accept, and then offer compensation to magnify the name of benevolence and righteousness, a good method!
What's even more sinister is that Wang Tongyuan mentioned that the money was for the victim. If Qin Huaidao took the money as his own, it would chill the tenant's heart. The tenant was a retired veteran, and Duke Yi's family had been in the military for a lifetime.
Your reputation will be completely ruined.
If Qin Huaidao gave all the money to the tenants, it would be a matter of course, and there would be no increase in reputation. At most, everyone could say that Duke Yi is kind, but the reputation of the Wang family would be greatly improved. After all, in everyone's opinion, the Wang family
If you have a noble status, even if you kill someone, compensation of a few taels of silver is a great gift. No one will question it. It is absolutely wrong. Now each person will be compensated a thousand taels of silver. How kind and righteous is this?
Wang Tongyuan did not say that the thousand taels was the compensation requested by Qin Huaidao, nor did he say that Wang Hu was instructed by his family, nor did he say that the court case failed. This method of manipulating people's hearts was no small matter.
At this moment, Qin Huaidao took a serious look at the Wang family. Not only could they bend and stretch, they could also seize every opportunity to reap benefits. Sixty-five thousand taels of silver bought a good reputation, which was not a loss at all.
Wang De also saw the truth and said with a cold face: "This Wang family is really good at it!"
At this time, Wang Tongyuan continued: "Dear neighbors, Wang Hu has committed a crime and has been punished as he should. However, Wang Hu is a member of the Wang family, and the Wang family should also pay a share of the compensation. I don't know how much money the Yiguo Duke's government will pay to the victims.
"The Wang family would like to publish a message here. To express its apology to the victims, the Wang family is willing to recruit tenants from Qinjiazhuang to work for two hundred yuan per month. We also ask everyone to spread the news to the people in Qinjiazhuang."
"good--"
"Wang Family Renyi!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring you."
The onlookers cheered loudly, not knowing the inside story. In everyone's opinion, the average workmanship cost is 80 yuan at most, and the best one is only a little over 100 yuan. The Wang family's offer of 200 yuan is full of sincerity, what is it but benevolence and righteousness?
"What a great move to bring the fire under the kettle!"
Qin Huaidao's eyes became colder and colder.
Although the bankers are all veterans who follow Qin Qiong, the relationship is just that of tenants, not slaves. They do not have to sign a life contract like other families, and their status is relatively free. The Wang family only needs to do a little work, and the bankers can go to the Wang family.
He is bound by the law, not to mention that two hundred articles is indeed a lot of money, more than enough to support a family.
Since ancient times, people's hearts are unpredictable. Qin Huaidao is not sure whether those veterans will stay or leave Qinjiazhuang? He feels a little emotional in his heart. The Wang family is clearly in the wrong, but they have earned enough benevolence and righteousness through one operation, and they force themselves to give all their money to the banker to prevent themselves from suffering.
After gaining money, they will become stronger, and finally they will pull out the fuel and turn an army against them. This method is really ruthless!
Although Qin Huaidao never thought about leaving any compensation, it felt disgusting to be forced.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qin Huaidao strode forward.
When Wang Tongyuan saw Qin Huaidao approaching, he still had a smile on his face, bowed and saluted with a very low posture, and said something: "Ms. Wang, Wang Tongyuan has seen Chao Yilang, and the money for compensation is all in the car. Please check it."
Qin Huaidao looked at the other party, his smile concealed his sword, he was flexible and capable, his face was thick and his heart was dark. He was worthy of being a heir apparent trained by a big family. He would definitely be a difficult opponent in the future. He said calmly: "The Wang family knows their mistakes and can correct them. There is no great way to do good. The Wang family will kill everyone in the house."
The tenants, the Holy Emperor approved the compensation, and now that the money has been delivered, the matter has been solved."
The Wang family can pretend, and Qin Huaidao is not bad either. He directly pointed out that it was the Wang family who killed the tenants, not injured them, and it was the compensation approved by the emperor, and it was not the Qin family who forced the Wang family. This not only tells the truth, but also seizes the moral high ground.
Li Er has a high prestige among the people and has won the hearts of the people.
When everyone heard that someone had been killed, it was still sanctioned by the Holy Emperor, which means that it was indeed the Wang family who made a mistake and should compensate. There was no injustice, and it was not forced by the Yiguo government. Of course, the Wang family's willingness to compensate so much is very kind and righteous, the world
It is rare and a rare good family.
The minds of ordinary people are so simple and direct.
