Chapter 733: The murder caused by inviting Dr. Lin
"Li Qingchen is going to die."
In the mansion, Wang Jiying had just changed into casual clothes, and when she came to the hall, she saw Wang Jizhong pouring himself a drink, looking relaxed.
This elder brother also has a face as dark as iron and a stout body. His manner is not rude, but rather has the demeanor of a refined scholar.
When Wang Jiying heard the news, his smile immediately appeared: "This old thing is finally dead!"
Wang Jizhong put down his wine glass: "Li Qingchen died of illness. The Han family has no official supporters, so they will definitely have to restrain themselves a little, but they will not give up. The next governor of Daming Prefecture will stay in Beijing. If he still favors the Han family, then
Our breathing period is only a few months."
Wang Jiying snorted coldly: "Now the situation in the DPRK and China is changing uncertainly. By then, the new party may have the upper hand again, and the Han family will be dormant... These scholar-bureaucrats are even more greedy than us. They are really hateful!"
Wang Jizhong said: "With their powerful position, it is not surprising that they are expanding outward. Fortunately, the scholar has the same name, otherwise the conflict between our two families would have broken out long ago. There has been no war for a long time, and the status of our Northern Army has become lower and lower!"
"
Wang Jiying rolled his eyes: "Brother, since those scholar-bureaucrats cherish their reputation so much, why don't we expose that matter?"
Wang Jizhong played with the wine glass, with thoughts in his eyes: "Is it a crime during the Qingmiao loan?"
Among Wang Anshi's reforms, the most famous one, and also the most notorious measure among the people, known as a measure that disturbed the people and disrupted the government, was probably Qingmiao Loan.
At that time, Han Qi, who was the pacification envoy of Hebei, Duke of Wei, and judge of Daming Prefecture, came forward to report that the local government did not comply with the regulations when implementing Qingmiao Loan, and all kinds of misconduct affected the people. However, Qingmiao Loan was supposed to provide relief to the people, but instead charged interest and was incompatible with the situation.
Suppressing annexation and relieving poverty are contrary to the original intention of the reform. The government's pursuit of profit is even more disgraceful to the court.
From what we can see, they are all disadvantages, and we request that the Young Seedlings Law be abandoned.
As for the treasury being empty and the court being unable to make ends meet, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty, please "practice frugality to advance the world, and naturally there will be no shortage of national supplies."
Sima Guang gave a thumbs up.
Of course, Han Qi's political level is far from comparable to that of Sima Guang. Many of what he said were indeed well-founded and pointed out many shortcomings of Qingmiao Loan. In addition, he was the one who supported Shenzong to the throne, so the emperor could only
Responding to "Qizhen, loyal minister, although he is away from home, he never forgets the royal family. I thought it could benefit the people, but I didn't expect it to harm the people..."
But let alone the turmoil in the imperial court, the Wang family in Hebei could see clearly that although Qingmiao Loan had its disadvantages, it was actually the lesser of two evils.
Compared with the 100% annual interest rate of private loan sharks, the government's green crop loan is only 20% for one term, and the interest rate is only 4% per year, which is considered very low. If the vested interests below did not deliberately cause trouble, it would be enough to relieve the plight of the people.
Of course, even if the people below deliberately make things difficult, the people are not actually worse off. What really can't stand it is the scholar-bureaucrats who are used to living and drinking.
Take the Han family in Xiangzhou as an example. Half of the land in Xiangzhou has the surname Han. Countless people in Xiangzhou owe the Han family loan money to support this huge family. Once the green crop loan is implemented, the government will take away the interest of twenty thousand dollars every year.
, the Han family could only live by collecting rent from the land, and their quality of life deteriorated instantly.
Is this good enough?
No matter how poor you are, you cannot be a monk; no matter how miserable you are, you cannot be a scholar!
Wang Jizhong witnessed the entire dispute that year and said with admiration: "The clever thing about Han Qi is that he emphasized that Qingmiao Loan is for poverty alleviation and should not charge interest, so that the people can benefit."
"Are you wrong? Of course you are. Who dares to say that doing good for the people is wrong? But how could Mr. Han not know that how could a reform that has no benefits for the court continue? What is good for the country must also be
profitable!"
"Besides, if we really follow what Han Qi said and don't charge interest, another group of civil servants will jump out and remonstrate, saying that such reforms are a waste of wealth and will make the country difficult, so it must be stopped!"
Wang Jiying curled his lips and said: "Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand is a literati's hypocrisy!"
Wang Jizhong thought it was normal: "When you are in a high position, you must be hypocritical, and you must say that you are doing bad things for the good of the people. This is something we should learn from. The reputation of us warriors is still too bad, so the literati can catch us and take advantage of us!"
"
Wang Jiying said in a deep voice: "But don't we also have evidence of the Han family's tricks in Qingmiao Law, especially their tribesmen killing villagers with sticks, which led to tragedy?"
"I was thinking about this just now, but if I think about it carefully, I still can't expose it, not in any form..."
Wang Jizhong shook his head: "If that matter is revealed, it will not offend a single Han family, but all the scholar-bureaucrat families. If we really want to openly fight, the imperial court will definitely favor them and take the opportunity to confiscate our military power!"
Wang Jiying narrowed his eyes: "Then don't let others expose it in our name, we will just reap the benefits!"
Wang Jizhong frowned greatly and reprimanded in a tone of hatred: "Don't play with your little cleverness. If there really is a trouble, no matter who exposes it, the Han family will be the first to suspect us. Then they will be on the same side."
Water and fire, there is no way out!"
Wang Jiying was not convinced, but did not dare to refute, so he sat down and started drinking.
In any case, after Li Qingchen died, he could always be comforted by talking about it, not just drinking.
But at this moment, the housekeeper hurried in, came to Wang Jizhong, and reported in a low voice.
Wang Jiying glanced sideways and snorted at this behavior of hiding from her, and then noticed that his brother's voice was rising: "Seriously, what I said is serious. At Li Qingchen's age, can anyone still save him?"
The housekeeper said: "I don't know about this, but that Lin Erlang is quite famous in the Daming Mansion now. Many deeds have been passed down. It is true that acupuncture can cure diseases. The saying of rejuvenation with a wonderful hand is also known in Sui'an Medical Center now."
After catching up from behind in the capital, we also intend to open a branch in our Daming Mansion..."
Wang Jizhong's face looked grim. They had been oppressed very hard by the prefect before. They had finally expected that the other party was seriously ill and was about to die, but there was a possibility of a turn of events. No matter how sane the person was, they could not accept this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Jiying also understood, stood up suddenly, eyes widened: "Is there any way to save that old man Li Qingchen? This is absolutely impossible! Who is that miracle doctor? I will immediately
Bring someone to kidnap him back!"
Wang Jizhong said in a deep voice: "Lin Yuanjing's son Lin Chong, the famous Lin Erlang in Bianjing, not to mention his martial arts skills, when you went to Lin Yuanjing's house to lead troops to tie him up, are you going to rebel directly?"
Wang Jiying clenched her fists and sat down slowly.
Wang Jizhong did not panic. He thought about it carefully and asked the housekeeper: "How is father's health these days?"
The housekeeper was slightly startled at first, and then realized: "Alang's body... is indeed feeling a little unwell!"
Wang Jizhong immediately said to his younger brother: "My father is seriously ill. You go to the Lin Mansion and invite Lin Erlang for treatment. If you encounter other people on the way who are rushing to take the lead, it is natural for you to stop them..."
Wang Jiying understood, stood up suddenly, grinned and said: "I went to fulfill my filial piety, but in my eagerness, some conflicts occurred. I believe those scholar-bureaucrats who value filial piety the most will hold their noses and understand!"
…
"This warrior actually has a son who is quite famous among the scholars, and I still have to beg him..."
Li Qingchen's eldest son Li Zijing sat in the carriage and headed to Lin Mansion.
Along the way, he tried hard to control the arrogance and resentment in his eyes and replaced them with a begging expression.
No one could bear the crime of being unfilial. After Han Jiayan spoke, he immediately sent people to investigate and confirmed the news that Sui'an Medical Clinic was planning to open in Daming Mansion. Lin Erlang's name naturally spread to his ears.
As the son of a prefect, he naturally knew something about the recent turmoil in the capital, but Li Zijing did not connect the rising star who played an important role in it with the martial artist Lin Yuanjing, who had been quarreled with by his father with just a few words.
.
What was even more unexpected was that the other party had gained such a great reputation in the capital and would not hold back any regrets. He came to Daming Mansion a few years later just to reunite with his family.
In comparison, his behavior is indeed a bit unfilial. When a famous doctor from Bianjing came here, he didn't even send an invitation when his father was seriously ill. If this spread, wouldn't his reputation be greatly damaged?
So when he saw Lin Yuanjing next, Li Zijing was prepared to keep his attitude very low. He bowed in the manner of a junior and said, "My father is seriously ill. As a son of a man, I will suffer from internal and external injuries. Fortunately, I heard that Erlang is a famous man."
The miracle doctor of the capital, a doctor with a kind heart, took the liberty to come and treat my father."
If the other party doesn't respond, he can even endure the humiliation and bow down, while a scholar worships a martial artist. Such a contrast, just for the sake of his father's illness, it will be a good story if it is spread. How can the other party dare not fulfill his filial piety?
After arranging the next invitation method, Li Zijing made up his mind. When the carriage stopped, he straightened his clothes and walked out.
"Xilulu——!"
But what he saw was not Lin Yuanjing, but a group of fast horses galloping over. The general at the head was majestic, as strong as a black bear, and was wearing armor. He fell off his horse with a bang, throwing up a cloud of dust, and stared with piercing eyes.
come over.
Li Zijing's expression changed: "Wangdu Prison?"
With the dispute between the Han and Wang families, the other party naturally does not want to see Li Qingchen's condition improve at all, but it would be too bold for the other party to block it in such a big way, right?
He knew the answer the next moment. Wang Jiying showed undisguised sarcasm in his eyes and shouted: "My father is ill and can't afford to be bedridden. Follow me into the house quickly and ask Divine Doctor Lin to go back and treat my father!"
"Shameless! It's my father who is seriously ill. Come with me to the mansion and ask for Dr. Lin!"
Li Zijing never expected that this martial artist could be so despicable. When he saw Wang Jiying striding towards the Lin Mansion, he screamed and rushed forward.
The two of them came to the door of the mansion together, but saw that the door was closed and no one came to greet them.
This is not surprising, because the normal procedure is that they need to submit the name card first, and then arrange a specific visit time. However, they are anxious and cannot wait any longer. The two of them also have a disdain for the commander of the Forbidden Army who has no foundation.
, this step is omitted through filial piety.
At this time, Li Zijing shouted directly: "Commander Lin, Doctor Lin, open the door! Human lives are at stake, open the door quickly!"
What Wang Jiying hated most was the arrogant manner of the scholar. He took a few steps back and suddenly rushed forward: "Go to hell!"
If he were an official of the imperial court, Wang Jiying would still be wary of one or two things in broad daylight. However, although Li Zijing was Li Qingchen's eldest son, he failed to pass the examination and became a scholar.
He hit Li Zijing hard.
The impact itself, coupled with the impact of the armor, caused Li Zijing's small body, which had been hollowed out by the wine, to immediately fly up and fall directly to the ground. Not only did he roll back twice, his head banged.
He hit the stone lion next to the door.
"ah-!"
After a rapid scream, the son of the prefect opened his mouth and immediately fainted.
Wang Jiying laughed loudly and said proudly: "You are so weak, but you still want to fulfill your filial piety?"
When the guard who followed Li Zijing saw it, his eyes turned red and he rushed over: "Protect Yanei!!"
"Hit!!" "Fuck me!!"
Just as two groups of filial sons were fighting outside the mansion, Lin Yuanjing was enjoying tea leisurely in the main hall of the mansion.
His expression was a little weird. He wanted to laugh, but he felt that he shouldn't laugh out loud. It was very difficult to endure it.
"Killing! Killing!"
It wasn't until a scream suddenly sounded outside that Lin Yuanjing stood up slowly, walked out, and made a surprised voice: "Hey, ah, ah, ah, what's going on?"
