Wang Siliang looked at the man with a sinister look.
This person is a prefect of Guizhou Prefecture, with a fifth-grade official rank in the court. However, compared with him, his official position is not even a little bit lower!
The only difference is that the official positions of these people are fixed, while my own official position can only be regarded as a temporary official position. After finishing the work, I have to return to Beijing to resume my duties.
It seems that these people have some objections to not returning to Beijing to resume their duties, haha! If I don’t give these people a beating, their minds may become more active.
"Master Wang, we dare not have any objection to you!"
"Master Wang, we will always rely on your leadership, but you must also think about us. If this continues, our family fortunes will be depleted!"
"Yes! Most of the money for the 250,000 cotton-padded clothes was paid by us. You said you would return them to us in the future. Now, another 100,000 pieces have arrived!"
"Master Wang, we can no longer hold on. We have indeed accumulated some money over the years, but the amount is not large and we cannot withstand such consumption!"
…
All the officials begged.
Wang Siliang pointed at these people and cursed: "How presumptuous! You people are simply blind. How can you be where you are today without being promoted by me?"
"Check your conscience. Did you get your official position by yourself?
Which one did I not write to the court to ask for for you?"
"It's okay now, but you all think that I am a burden, huh! Remember, if I die, none of you will think about it!"
Among these people, only a few were officials who passed the imperial examination, and most of them were officials who Wang Siliang directly petitioned the court to ask for from Emperor Chongzhen.
Due to the special circumstances of the Ming Dynasty at that time, whether Emperor Chongzhen gave him this official position or not would not have much impact on the Guizhou Prefecture, so he naturally gave him this favor!
At first, these people all followed Wang Siliang's lead. However, things are different now. Fifty thousand elite soldiers were taken away by Lin Fan!
And the 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers guarding the city are also distributed in various cities. These people are the prefects, the lords of a city, and they also have the power to mobilize!
As a result, Wang Siliang is the governor and has no direct jurisdiction over the cities. Now Lin Fan is aggressive!
They asked them for money at every turn. Naturally, these people were interested in wanting Wang Siliang to return to Beijing on his own initiative, so that Lin Fan would not cause trouble to them again!
"Master Wang, we all think of your good, but you can't say that we are all useless!"
"Over the years, we have done a lot of things for you, Mr. Wang. Do you think, without us, would you be able to live so comfortably in Guizhou Prefecture?"
"Master Wang, you no longer have those 50,000 elite soldiers, but our respect for you has not changed at all!"
All the officials said.
Wang Siliang was stunned. These people were so courageous that they dared to mention the fifty thousand elite soldiers in front of him!
"You! You are just bastards! You dare to mention those 50,000 elite soldiers. Do you want to wipe my eyes?
Tell me, I don’t have those 50,000 people anymore?”
Wang Siliang said coldly.
"This... Mr. Wang, isn't this the truth?"
One person said in a deep voice.
"Master Wang, the situation is stronger than the people. Please let us go for the sake of following you for many years!"
someone begged.
"Master Wang, as long as you agree to return to the capital, we will definitely prepare 100,000 cotton-padded clothes. When you arrive in the capital, you may even be put into important use by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Yes! You have done all the things His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to do. It would be inappropriate for him not to reuse you!"
The officials said one after another.
Wang Siliang looked at these people with murderous intent in his eyes. Do these people think they are fools?
When I return to the capital, I will shed my skin even if I don’t die!
Even if he is rewarded with gold and silver, he has lost his power. There is no better place than here. Not only is he rich, but the entire Guizhou Prefecture is also under his orders.
"Haha! As long as you admit your mistake honestly today, I don't have to be acquainted with you. However, if anyone dares to mention this matter again in the future, then don't blame me for being cruel!"
"You want me to go back to the capital?
You all have given up on this idea, I am not a fool, if I go back, will I get any benefits?"
Wang Siliang said with a sneer.
"This... Mr. Wang, I'm afraid this matter is not up to you!"
One person said in a deep voice.
"Alas! Mr. Wang, why bother? We originally wanted to persuade you to go back, so that you can have face and you can see our filial piety!"
"But you just don't want to go back, so we have no choice but to force you to go back!"
Someone else said.
Snapped!
One person clapped his hands, and then more than a dozen guards walked in!
Wang Siliang's expression immediately changed and he said: "What do you mean?
Are you going to rebel?"
"Master Wang, we have no intention of rebelling, we just want to send you back to Beijing!"
"Don't worry, sir. These people are all experts. Your safety is absolutely guaranteed along the way!"
Several people said.
Wang Siliang showed a ruthless look on his face and said: "You! Huh! If I come to the capital, I will definitely tell His Highness the Crown Prince everything you have done in the past few years. None of you will be able to succeed!"
well!
After Wang Siliang said this, these people all sighed. They had followed Wang Siliang in the past few years, but they had not done anything good.
Since Wang Siliang would never let them go, there was no need for them to hide with Wang Siliang.
"Master Wang, we originally wanted you to have some accidents on the road, but you said such heartless words, you should die now!"
"Hmph! We already knew you would threaten us with these things, kill him! Cut off his head!"
Several people said coldly.
Clang!
The dozen or so guards all drew their swords, and Wang Siliang turned pale with fear. Although he was a military attache, these people were also masters. He had not practiced martial arts for so many years.
"You! If you dare to kill me, aren't you afraid of being punished by the court?"
Wang Siliang said angrily.
"Haha! Mr. Wang, you just fell off a cliff and died on your way back to Beijing. What do you have to do with me?"
One person said with a sneer.
Then, more than a dozen people swarmed up and hacked Wang Siliang to death.
"Hmph! This Wang Siliang is so ignorant that he deserves to die ten thousand times!"
"You guys, take his body to the capital. After leaving the Guizhou border, find a ravine and throw him down. Be careful, the body must not be found."
