Wang Erlang looked at Chang Qing, who was shouting with his back to him, and was very satisfied. This was really a treasure. He thought that when he saw this kid a year ago, he had been beaten to death and lay there. He was dying in the smelly ditch. It was Wang Zhi who fished him out and looked at the doctor behind his back to save his life.
Later, after questioning, we learned that Chang Qing was originally the youngest son of a farmer outside the city. Because his family was poor and could not afford to raise an extra child, he was sold to a wealthy family in the city as a son-in-law's companion.
Later, the young man was fond of gambling and lost all his money, so he stole the valuables in the house and pawned them. When he was discovered afterwards, the young man said that Chang Qing had stolen them, and this was how the scene in the smelly ditch happened.
These days, slaves have no human rights. Although the Song Dynasty no longer allowed the killing of slaves and slaves without permission, if they were maimed and thrown out to fend for themselves, no one would come forward and there would be no reason to reason.
Wang Zhi asked the wealthy family to seek justice for him, but Chang Qing refused to say anything. He said that the past was past. The wealthy family had raised him for more than ten years despite being inhumane. This experience could be regarded as repayment. As long as we don't owe each other any favors from now on.
After Wang Zhi heard this, he didn't ask again. It was a good thing to let it go, so as not to get entangled in the future.
Chang Qing is literate and well-educated, and is alert and intelligent. After the catastrophe of life and death, his personality has become much calmer. When Wang Zhi was away, Chang Qing took care of all the affairs of Juxian Hall. Over the past year, the four houses have developed. There are more than ten people, and they are also managed in an orderly manner, which is very popular with Wang Zhi.
Are you fighting for the people of Xicheng?
Wang Zhi thought, there is nothing wrong in saying that, but he is not just for the people of Xicheng, he is for the people of the world.
It sounds ridiculous for a half-year-old boy to talk about fighting for the people of the world, but this is indeed what Wang Zhi thinks in his heart. This started when Wang Zhi was born in his mother's womb. I don't know when Wang Zhi can remember. Have a different kind of memory.
It was a world of tall buildings, a world of feasting and feasting, where people could see the people they wanted to see thousands of miles away, use machines to fly on land and soar in the sky, and there were all kinds of fun and delicious food. …
There was no war or oppression in the country. People lived and worked in peace and contentment. Everyone had enough food and clothing, and everyone had their own little world. The country at that time protected her people, and the people loved their country. Everything is so beautiful, so prosperous.
Wang Zhi guessed that it was his soul from the later life that accidentally traveled through time and merged with himself in this life. Those memories were sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, but they were indeed very real. Wang Zhi firmly believed that it was a real world, but he just didn't know how to get there. To that world.
Before the age of fifteen, Wang Zhi did not change anything because of this memory. He was a second-generation rich man and a second-generation official. Even his eighteenth generation ancestors were high-ranking officials and wealthy families. He was born with a golden key in his mouth. , I have never worried about food and clothing since I was a child, and I have never worried about money.
But with the memories of later generations, he lived in this era of lack of entertainment. He was very distressed. He had tried and experienced all kinds of gameplay in this era. For this reason, he became a complete playboy in the eyes of the world, but this The era itself was very boring, and he could not find the meaning of life.
Until one day, he passed by the slums of Xicheng and saw the cruel side of the world. He suddenly woke up. The world in his memory was too far away. The world in front of him was indeed real. He could not reach the world in his memory, but he could He knew that this road was difficult to make the world in front of him look like the world in his memory, but wasn't this the value and mission of having the memory of future generations?
Isn't this the meaning of life that I am looking for so hard?
"Hall Master!"
Wang Zhi's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Fei's call, and he heard what he said next: "Please give the hall master the order to fight, we will defend the west city to the death!"
"Please give the hall master the order to fight. We will defend the west city to the death!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Hahahaha...good!"
Wang Erlang laughed loudly, "We brothers are not afraid of power, so what does it matter if Mr. Wang comes that day?"
"Dog!" Wang Erlang shouted.
"My subordinate is here!" A young boy with a big head and a thick head came out of the queue and knelt down on one knee, clasping his fists.
"Go and reply to the son of a bitch from the Zhu family. At the end of the day, in the woods outside the west city, the one who doesn't dare to come is the grandson!"
"This is your order!" Gouzi responded and bowed and retreated.
Watching the dog leave, Wang Zhi gave instructions to the people below, "Everyone, get ready, everything at hand has been arranged, and we will set off after lunch!"
Everyone got the order and retreated to prepare.
Wang Zhi turned sideways and said to Wang Gui, who was standing next to him: "Agui, go and prepare some wine and meat to eat. Don't be shabby."
Agui was not good at words, so he nodded and left.
After watching everyone disappear, another older attendant beside Wang Zhi pulled Wang Zhi to the side and whispered: "Erlang, the mistress has told you not to fight and cause trouble again. Last time, I beat Zhu Jiazi. Three sticks were broken, why didn’t you listen this time?”
"Brother Fu, you have also seen that it was not me who took the initiative to cause trouble this time, it was the Zhu family's stupidity that forced everyone to die."
Wang Zhi sighed and said unbearably: "They are all my brothers who have followed me through life and death. How can I bear to see them forced back to their old ways and begging on the streets?"
Wang Fu also sighed when he heard this. It was not because he was worried about these half-grown mud-legged people that he didn't object just now.
The two brothers, Wang Fu and Wang Gui, were lucky. They were born into the Wang family. They were born to the Wang family. They had never suffered from cold or hunger in their 20 years of life. It was also very good for the master and his wife to take care of their family. They had never brought their family down. Treat them as servants, teach them to read and practice martial arts since childhood, and treat them as close as nephews.
Although Erlang is a little more naughty, he treats his two brothers as if they were brothers. How could he, Wang Fu, who is over 20 this year, not know what the servants of other families are like.
Wang Fu sighed and frowned: "The Zhu family is just a small family, but the head of the Gao family is now the third yamen Taiwei, and he is also a famous person around the official family. He has great power. If he were to take the three members of the family today, If the young master is beaten, it will really cause some trouble!"
Wang Erlang didn't care about this. He looked even more arrogant when he heard this. He raised his brows and laughed out loud, "How about taking charge of the third government office? What about the famous people around the officials? I will fight today, so I asked Gao Qiu to come. , I also had to beat him until he knelt down and called grandpa!"
Although Wang Zhi's words are exaggerated, they are not far off. I think the Langya Wang family was founded in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, prospered in the Qin and Han dynasties, and flourished in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
In the Song Dynasty, the Wang family has produced a total of thirty-six queens, thirty-five prime ministers, and more than five hundred high-ranking officials and famous generals. At its peak, there was a saying that "the king and his horse share the world."
No matter how many dynasties he had, the Langya Wang family would always stand at the top of each dynasty. No matter which family took turns taking the seat in the temple, they would have to respectfully invite the Langya Wang family to the temple. Without the support of these aristocratic families, No one can sit in that seat.
This is a truly aristocratic family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Although the Wang family in the Song Dynasty has been at a slight decline, it is not a behemoth that Gao Qiu, who came from a humble background, can easily move.
Wang Fu heard this and stopped admonishing him. Indeed, as Wang Erlang said, if the son of the third Yamen Taiwei was beaten at that time, it would only cause some trouble. As long as he was not beaten to death, it would really be nothing to the Wang family. Something big happened.
A few days ago, I beat the only son of Zhu Jiedu's family and was brought to court by Zhu Meng. Isn't it just that he was reprimanded by the officials and then nothing happened.
Not long after, Wang Gui led a restaurant boy to push a trolley into the courtyard and stopped. The smell of chicken, duck, and fish on the trolley was fragrant, and the aroma of three large jars of wine overflowed. Everyone in the courtyard saw it and gathered around. He sniffed and rubbed his hands, but no hall master spoke, and no one dared to strike first.
Everyone now has their own territory in Xicheng to do the 'management' thing. This is real management, ranging from maintaining public order and punishing thieves to small things such as street hygiene and blocked sewers. They are responsible for taking care of them. Wang Zhi would occasionally conduct grassroots inspections, and if there was anything eye-catching, he would be punished.
Wang Zhi often said, "If you take it from the people, you must serve the people." After hearing this, everyone bowed their heads and worshiped, shouting that the hall master is wise.
It was not until noon that everyone returned. After Chang Qing called his name, he looked at Wang Erlang who was sitting in the hall and clasped his fists and said, "Master, all the brothers are here."
Wang Zhi heard this and walked towards the courtyard, looking at one of the older boys and said, "Wang Shi, distribute food and drinks to the wise men."
Wang Zhi was the eldest among the young men. He didn't remember his exact age. He thought that he was not far away from being a weakling. Before Wang Zhi arrived in Xicheng, he was already the eldest brother of several beggars. He was a loyal and honest person and treated him well. The brother was impartial, so Wang Zhi appointed him as the head of the logistics department of Juxian Hall.
In fact, Wang Shi was not his real name. Of course, he never remembered his real name, including the Minister of Military Affairs Wang Fei. They were all named by Wang Zhi.
The meaning of the name is also very simple. He is loyal and honest, so he is called "Wang Shi". As for "Wang Fei", he simply has a red face and a thick neck like Zhang Fei of the Three Kingdoms described in the book. If he still wanted some meaning, he would be embarrassing the second son of the Wang family.
