But no matter how gentle Dugu Cheng tried to persuade her, the old woman looked like she was in a daze. She just cried and didn't speak. Dugu Cheng was so anxious that she was running around in circles, but there was nothing she could do.
Someone nearby couldn't bear it and said loudly: "Auntie, just listen to this young Yin. Fang Erlang of Jingzhao Prefecture is a good official who has taught Buddhism to thousands of families. He is the backbone of the people in Guanzhong! Fang Erlang is as clean as water.
Hate evil as much as hatred, even if your family's grievance involves any noble family, Fang Erlang will definitely give you justice!"
"That's right! Auntie, what problem can you solve by just crying?"
"Tell your grievances to Fang Erlang, and Fang Erlang will definitely stand up for you!"
"That's right, Fang Erlang is a good official who makes decisions for the people!"
"Hurry up and stop talking! The second roommate is just a stick and a bad official! You have all been deceived by him without knowing it. You are really a bunch of stupid and despicable people..."
Suddenly a discordant sentence was inserted.
The onlookers were immediately angry, and everyone looked at him, but the person speaking was a handsome and slightly thin young man. He was wearing a brocade robe and powdered grease. It was obvious at first sight that he was a young man from an aristocratic family.
Someone sneered and said: "Hey! Isn't this the young master of the Dou family? Why, when Fang Erlang crashed your boat on the Wei River outside Tongguan and failed to drown you, now he actually dares to say bad things in a weird way.
?When Fang Erlang hears this, he will chase you to your house and beat you until your uncle or father Qi Guo Gong can’t even recognize you!"
The crowd around them burst into laughter.
The Duke of Qi, Dou Shaoxuan, had no children, and his brother's second son, Dou Dewei, inherited the family title. This was not a secret, and many people in Chang'an Market knew about it. Originally, if he had no children, he would adopt a son from among his brothers' descendants to inherit the family property.
This is a common thing and there is nothing wrong with it.
But what hurts the person is the phrase "not just an uncle, but also a father." There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but if you think about it carefully, the aftertaste is far-reaching and meaningful. If the storyteller in the tea house and wine shop can make up a story
Here’s the story…
Dou Dewei was so angry that his face turned red, but the man's words also reminded him: this is Jingzhao Mansion, Fang Jun's territory, if he comes here to speak ill of Fang Jun, if he is caught by Fang Jun, he will still have something to lose.
Good?
Turning around, he saw several officials from the Jingzhao Mansion looking at him with evil eyes. Dou Dewei felt even more guilty and timid. He didn't even have time to say a few words to argue, and hurriedly left with a few generals...
Some of the onlookers laughed and said: "Fang Erlang is the nemesis of those aristocratic families. When you see Fang Erlang, which one of these young men is not as well-behaved as a rabbit? Madam, if you have any grievances, you can go to Fang Erlang. You are right!"
Many people agreed that Fang Jun had an excellent reputation, especially because he was not afraid of the power of the family, and he was called the first person in the court...
Someone suddenly said: "Ignorance! The nemesis of the aristocratic family? Haha, it's just a slap in the face. When it comes to a critical moment, it's not like the officials are protecting each other. These two old men are from Ding Village in Longshou, and their sons are building Yong'an Palace.
At that time, he died in an accident, and his daughter-in-law fell ill and passed away in grief, leaving only two daughters, not even a male child. And these two granddaughters... The one involved in this matter was the Yuan family, and his wife
What can Jun do?"
All the onlookers were silent.
The people in Guanzhong have a cheerful personality, and those with a short family in the east and west like to inquire about information. How could they not know about the Yuan family, one of the Eight Pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty?
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many political aristocrats who almost monopolized the political power at that time. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the once glorious Eastern Jin Dynasty aristocratic families gradually declined with the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the rise of the Liu Song Dynasty. Noble surnames such as Wang Yuhuanxie and Wang Yuhuanxie were no longer in existence.
Back in the day...
Seeing that the golden age of the wealthy aristocracy was coming to an end, a new aristocratic group emerged from the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" and soared into the sky, extending the life of the aristocratic era and creating an unprecedented great era!
This is the Guanlong military aristocratic group that has dominated China for nearly two hundred years...
Guanlong Group originated from Daibei Wuchuan and was first built in Guanzhong. It created four dynasties in total, namely the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. This is a unique miracle in history.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" was not the creation of the four dynasties, but the creation of the military system.
Although Yu Wentai was the head of the Zhu Kingdom, his status had long been transcendent. The Yuan family was respected because they were members of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Yuan Xin was extremely powerful in the Northern Wei Dynasty, making him Chijie, Taifu, General of the Zhu Kingdom, Grand Master, and Great Master.
Situ, King Guangling and other titles irrigated the world. When Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty came to the throne, he became the prime minister. Under one person, he was superior to tens of thousands of people!
The other six-pillar states were actually controlled by Yu Wentai and Yuan Xin, which was in line with the Zhou Dynasty's intention to govern the six armies. Each of the six-pillar states supervised two generals, so there were twelve generals. Each general supervised
There are two Kaifus, and each Kaifu leads an army, totaling twenty-four armies. This is the system of Fu soldiers.
As one of the founders of the military system, the Yuan family already had a transcendent status.
Although he is not well-known in the Tang Dynasty, in fact, all the aristocratic families are inextricably linked to him, and he is like a behemoth among the aristocratic families. Except that his appeal is not as good as that of the Taiyuan Wang family, his real strength is not much inferior.
…
How could these two old men be related to the Yuan family?
What happened to their granddaughter?
Will Fang Jun go against the illustrious Yuan family for the sake of these two humble commoners?
For a moment, there was silence outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
Dugu Cheng sweated on his forehead and thought to himself, "It's not good. Why is this related to the Yuan family?"
The Yuan family is definitely not inferior to the Taiyuan Wang family, the Dugu family and even the Changsun family!
Although he is usually low-key and harmless to humans and animals, once he releases his powerful energy, it is enough to make people stunned!
It is better to persuade the old woman to go to the Yamen to comfort her and give her some compensation to resolve the matter. No matter what grievances this old woman has, she is just a commoner after all. How can she fight against a behemoth like the Yuan family?
A huge injustice is nothing compared to your own life, right?
Just at this moment, the old woman came back to her senses.
She stopped crying and reached into her husband's warm chest with a skinny hand stained with her husband's blood. She took out a neatly folded piece of jute paper and handed it to Dugu Cheng tremblingly.
A pair of deeply sunken eye sockets were surrounded by gray and black wrinkles, and the eyes were cloudy and stained with tears.
A skinny, dark palm and a piece of jute paper stained with blood were tremblingly raised in front of Dugu Cheng.
Before Dugu Cheng even read what was written on this piece of paper, he knew it must be a piece of paper.
A piece of blood-stained paper...
"My Ding family has been a loyal family for generations. My late husband responded to the late emperor's call and joined the army. He was injured in many battles. My son has been sick since he was a child. However, when he heard that your majesty planned to build Yong'an Palace in Longshouyuan, he immediately supported his sick body and went to work. Unfortunately,
Lost their lives. The remaining two young girls and the two of us who were about to die were left alone and without food and clothing, so we had no choice but to marry our two granddaughters into the Yuan family as slaves. We didn’t care how much money they could make, but just hoped that they could
I had a full meal... But a month ago I went to Yuan's house to visit my two granddaughters, but I was told that they were seriously ill and had died... Oh my God! That is the lifeblood of the old woman. Without them, we two would be dead.
How can this old man live? What I hate the most is the Yuan family. My granddaughter was strong and healthy, so why did she suddenly get sick and die? Even if she was dead, why didn't she even show her body to us? Oh, oh, oh, the sky has no eyes.
Even if the old woman goes to the underworld of such a heartless family, she will eat their flesh and blood, devour their souls, and make them live as livestock for the rest of their lives, never to be reincarnated..."
The sound is like a cry of grief and anger!
Everyone watching was silent.
Although there is an essential difference between joining someone's family as a slave and selling someone's family as a slave, the former retains his household registration and is only regarded as a hired worker, and his status is still a civilian; the latter is reduced to a domestic slave and remains a slave and maid for life, even if he is his.
Life belongs to the master's family. Even if he is killed at will, he will only be fined some money by the government to atone for his sin...
But since ancient times, has there ever been a time to be reasonable?
The aristocratic family occupies a strong position and looks down at the ants-like sentient beings under their feet. How can they care whether they accidentally trample to death when walking?
