Chapter 5 Who's Who?

(The new book needs to get off to a good start, so I beg everyone to vote for recommendation and support in every way!)

-

There were spiders building webs on the west wing window, but I refused to let them sweep, saying it was a good sign.

After hearing Wang Xian's words, Miss Lin was very surprised. She couldn't help but look at this guy again and found that it was almost impossible to deal with the scoundrel who was pestering her. In her memory, this guy was like a mangy dog, without any spine.

, annoying.

But although the appearance of Wang Xian in front of him has not changed, there is no frivolity in those black and white eyes. Instead, there is a gaze as deep as a pool of water, as calm and cold as ice.

Just because of this change, his whole temperament is completely different. Mom, it's hard to notice for relatives like Yin Ling who get along day and night, but for someone like Miss Lin, who only meets again after half a year, the difference is obvious.

.

Could it be that her head was damaged and has not recovered yet? Miss Lin thought so. But she said softly: "I misjudged you, I'm sorry..."

"What's the use of just saying sorry?" Wang Xian sneered, "If you really want to be sincere, you should pay for the soup and medicine that I have spent for half a year!" Although it is a bit unkind to do this, but thinking about my vain steps, my sister

The patches on the skirt, and his brother's wife who ran away... No matter what, he was going to knock out a few coins from Sister Lin!

"This is what it should be..." Miss Lin was about to take back her previous thoughts. It turned out that Wang Er was still the same Wang Er! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Could it be that the days of being blackmailed were about to begin again?

Miss Lin's maiden name is Qing'er. She comes from one of the most wealthy families in the county. Her brother Lin Rongxing is a junior student in the county and can be regarded as an heirloom of poetry and calligraphy. Who knew that a lawsuit two years ago would drag this family into abyss?

, and it was in this case that Lin Rongxing confessed that he had bribed county officials, which resulted in Wang Xian's father being sent to prison, and the Wang family began to memorize characters.

Lin Qing'er's elder brother was sentenced to be executed as a prisoner, and the family was already miserable enough, but he was entangled by a scoundrel like Wang Xian. In the past two years, he relied on the Lin family to feel sorry for him. Today he said that his mother was sick, and tomorrow he said that his brother

After falling, he came to her door in various ways and asked for money. Miss Lin was only fifteen years old at that time, and she was not as experienced as she is now. She felt that it was her brother who caused Wang Xingshu to be sent to prison and the Wang family.

He and his family suffered together, so he always gave money when asked.

At that time, in order to overturn Lin Rongxing's case, the Lin family had already spent all of Lin Qing'er's dowry, so various expenses could naturally be reduced. But even if they later found out that every time this kid asked for money, he didn't go to eat and drink with those gangsters.

Even when they went gambling and the Wang family didn't see a penny from him, Lin Qing'er didn't let Wang Xian go back empty-handed.

At that time, she naively thought that in this way she could compensate the Wang family, but little did she know that others would regard your kindness as weakness and take advantage of you!

Half a year ago, Wang Xian came again. Normally, Miss Lin would not see him. She would ask the housekeeper to pay some money to get rid of the trouble. But this time Wang Xian said, I am not here to ask for money, I am here to give money.

He insisted on seeing Miss Lin.

Lin Qing'er had no choice but to meet him, and Wang Xian actually took out a red envelope, which should have contained a hundred and ten cents. But what was even more surprising was what happened later. He actually said that this was the betrothal gift for the marriage proposal.

Miss Lin was confused at the time and asked, who are you proposing to marry?

'Follow you.' Wang Xian said boldly: 'Anyway, your husband's family also broke off the engagement. I don't mind it. You can marry me.'

Lin Qing'er's face immediately turned red, and then turned livid, but she also knew that there was no way to be reasonable with such a mangy dog ​​who couldn't fight and was not shy about scolding. If she had kicked him out, she wouldn't have known such a scoundrel.

What will happen!

After thinking for a while, she came up with a way and said to Wang Xiandian while holding back her nausea, "I was once annulled, and now I am very touched that you won't abandon me. But I have sworn to God, who can turn the case over for my family?"

, to restore my innocence, I will marry anyone, and I will not hesitate to be a maid or a concubine, otherwise I will never marry for the rest of my life!

‘Ah?’ Wang Xian said in surprise: ‘How could you swear such an oath?’

"If my brother's injustice is not vindicated, I would be worse off than dead, so why would I consider getting married?" Miss Lin sighed, her eye circles immediately turned red. There was no need for drama.

'Uh...' Wang Xian said unwillingly: 'What will happen if you break your oath?'

"If you violate this oath, you will be struck by thunder and fall into the eighteenth level of hell forever!" Lin Qing'er looked at him and said, "In the future, men will be covered in abscesses and die from ulcers!"

Wang Xian got goosebumps all over his body and shuddered and said: "You woman, you are too cruel." He didn't want to be covered in abscesses and die of fester.

Lin Qing'er originally thought that this guy would retreat and never mention the matter again. So she took out Zhang Baochao and wanted to send him away.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xian didn't want money this time. He patted his chest and said, "Over the years, you have been better to me than my mother..." Miss Lin almost vomited blood, so she listened to him continue, "For those who work out, loyalty is the most important thing.

We helped you with this!'

Miss Lin immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "How can you help?"

"Hehe, I haven't thought about it yet." Wang Xian scratched his head and smiled: "When I think about it, I will tell you naturally..."

After that, Wang Xian left, and Lin Qing'er forgot about this matter. Who would put even a glimmer of hope in a person like Wang Er?

Unexpectedly, the news that he had been beaten unconscious soon came. Miss Lin felt a little bit in her heart at that time, and asked someone to inquire. It turned out that this guy was beaten up in a casino, and Miss Lin felt relieved...

Later, she came to visit once, but was kicked out by Mrs. Wang Xian. After that, Lin Qing'er left Fuyang and went to Hangzhou and Nanjing, gradually forgetting that such a person existed.

But last month, when she was returning to Fuyang by boat from Hangzhou, she overheard some young men talking about Wang Xian and Wang Erlang. She couldn't help but listen carefully, and she was astonished - she heard one person lament that Wang Xian and Wang Erlang were the same.

It would have been great to treat us to dinner all day when Xian was here. But it's a pity that he dared to cheat in the casino and was beaten into the living dead.

Another person sneered and said, "It's not like gambling in a casino! Wang Er got into trouble and got people killed!"

"Who did this?" Everyone was shocked, and Lin Qing'er was even more shocked.

"I don't know, but that time I was at Qian's Gambling House, and I heard the boss say it when he was drunk." The man said mysteriously, "He said that this kid planned to stop the driver and file a complaint on the day the boss took office, but he heard someone say

When I had a complaint, I foolishly went to find someone to write a complaint. Who would have thought that someone would turn around and accuse the Zhao family!'

'You said it was the Zhao family?'

'I didn't say that.'

Several young people talked and talked away, but Lin Qing'er was shocked and speechless. When she returned to Fuyang, she planned to go to Wang's house to explain the truth, but once she said so, her responsibility would be greater.

went.

If you don't say it, everything will continue as usual.

Lin Qing'er was not a gentleman, and she had to have a clear conscience. What's more, she spent all her wealth, exhausted physically and mentally, just to make a last-ditch effort on her brother's case, and put other things aside.

She told herself that no matter whether the fight was a success or a failure, she would definitely go to the Wang family to plead guilty and accept the punishment without any hesitation...

Who would have known that Wang Erlang, who was said to never wake up again, suddenly woke up!

That day, she met Wang Gui at the Lu family's drugstore and learned the news. Lin Qing'er was both happy and depressed at the same time. The happy thing was that Wang Er was still alive after all, so her guilt would be much smaller. The sad thing was that this

I've been lying down for half a year, why can't I just lie down for a while and wake up when I'm done?

Then this girl can take the initiative to confess, and she won't be as embarrassed as she is now, as if she will continue to hide it if he doesn't wake up!

Alas, even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won't be able to cleanse myself... Miss Lin thought bitterly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wang Erlang, who was determined to create an "inspirational legend - a prodigal son who never returns home without money", did not expect that by asking for money for soup and medicine, all his previous efforts would be wasted. In the eyes of Miss Lin, he would become that scoundrel Wang Erlang again!

But he is indeed a scoundrel. Even if Wang Er listened to Miss Lin and complained, there was no reason for him to have to let others take responsibility, and he was not forced to go. Even if he planned to stop the driver and complain, it was not for Miss Lin!

In this world, everyone regards Wang Er as a waste, a prodigal son, and no one understands him. It is not until Wang Xian becomes one with him that he realizes that this child is not as bad as people thought, he is just a man who only wants to

Poor guy back in time.

You know, just two years ago, the Wang family was a very prestigious and upper-class family in the county. At that time, Father Wang had not yet been sent to prison, but he was the jailer of the county! Later generations always think that a humble official is insignificant.

, but in fact it is not like this. How many officials are there in a county? Apart from the county magistrate and the "Er Yin, Three Yamen and Four Laodian", the six office officials have great power. To use an inappropriate metaphor, Mr. Wang

Dad’s original position was the director of the general office of the county public prosecutor, judicial bureau, political and legal committee... this series of judicial agencies!

At that time, Mr. Wang was really a big shot that the county magistrate relied on, the gentry fawned over, and the people feared! All matters related to justice and criminal law in the county had to go through his hands. The so-called "eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant", plus various

By practicing bad rules, you don’t have to bend the law and harm the truth, and you can still make a lot of money!

At that time, the Wang family could not be called rich, but they were definitely popular, drunk, and wore gold and silver. They lived in a big house and were served by maids and servants. Wang Xian, a cockfighting lackey and an idle rich young master, naturally came into being.

born.

But luck and misfortune are unpredictable. How can Mr. Wang's shoes not get wet when he often stands by the river? Finally, two years ago, this old man who had lived among thousands of flowers and never touched a leaf fell headlong into the Lin family's case...

Wang Xian naturally remembers the case that changed his life. It was just an ordinary missing person case at first. Later, the family appealed, but the county magistrate dismissed it. Unexpectedly, during a patrol tour of the county, the family appealed again, and not only the case was

In turn, they also dragged several officials below the county magistrate into trouble. As the prison chief, Mr. Wang was the first to bear the brunt. How could he survive? First, he planned to sentence him to 200 sticks and be exiled for 3,000 miles. Later, the family spent a lot of money to smooth things over, and then he was moved to Shaoxing.

Working in salt fields.

This case was a fatal blow to the Wang family. My father's income and privileges during his tenure were gone. He also had stolen money recovered and fines paid. In addition, his connections were all brought to the capital, and even his fortune was wiped out.

What's more, Father Wang has only been his boss, Mr. Xing, for two years, and his family is not rich. How can the Wang family be invincible?
