[No pop-up novel website] Hearing someone interrupt, Cheng'er's grandfather turned around and saw a man about thirty years old, standing not far from him, looking carefree. Like this, he waved his hands and said loudly (tomato*little* said
Looking at the man in front of him, Cheng'er's grandfather hesitated and was about to say something when the shopkeeper said first: "Old man, the good man who saved you is this gentleman. He is the one who provided the money for you." The food I bought for each person is two steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup. The total cost is more than one tael of silver, which is not a small amount. You must be very grateful to me."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the man waved his hand again and said: "This shopkeeper is overly praised. I just do it casually. Hundreds of steamed buns and dozens of bowls of hot soup are not worth a lot of money."
As he said that, the man held up his hand to Cheng'er's grandfather and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "I have met this old man, I, Wang Hong, what do you call me?"
Seeing Wang Hong's attitude, Cheng'er's grandfather felt grateful in his heart and said with a trembling voice: "Old man, my name is Zhang Huan. I would like to thank my benefactor for helping us poor people. I can't repay you. Please pay my respects to my benefactor!"
As he spoke, old man Zhang Huan was about to kneel down and salute Wang Hong.
Wang Hong quickly supported Zhang Huan's body and said repeatedly: "No offense, no offense, it's just a trivial matter, but I don't deserve to be so polite."
Zhang Huan couldn't resist Wang Hong. After getting up, he looked at Wang Hong a few times and felt that Wang Hong's temperament was different from ordinary people, but he hesitated and asked: "I think my benefactor may be dressed up as ordinary, but his temperament is extraordinary. I'm afraid he is in the yamen." work?"
Wang Hong was a little surprised when he heard what Zhang Huan said. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said: "My father-in-law has good eyesight. I did work in the government before. Unfortunately, I am upright and don't know how to behave. I offended my boss. Now, He has been kicked out”
The shopkeeper on the side had a very good impression of Wang Hong and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! Nowadays, evil people are in power in the government. It is difficult for a kind person like you to stay in the world. Only those evildoers who ignore their conscience and help corrupt officials to pacify the common people are the only ones." Officials can be promoted step by step, hey! God really doesn't care."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Wang Hong frowned slightly, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he sighed in agreement.
…………
At the same time, in just a few words, the surrounding refugees had already devoured the steamed buns and hot soup in their hands, and finally remembered that they should thank the kind person who bought food for them. They learned that this kind person was Wang Honghou. , all gathered around, and like Zhang Huan before, they kept saluting Wang Hong and saying words of gratitude.
Compared with the old man Zhang Huan, although they are a little late, their attitude is sincere.
Seeing such a formation, Wang Hong still couldn't help but refuse to be polite and finally got the refugees to stand up. Wang Hong asked with concern: "Where are you folks from? You brought your family here. I don't know. What happened? But there was a disaster in my hometown?"
Seeing the inquiries from kind-hearted people, the refugees felt great grievances in their hearts, and they all told Wang Hong their experiences (Tomato*Xiao* said
"...This benefactor, our lives are miserable..."
"...The emperor wanted to tour the south, and the government said they wanted to build a palace, so they forcibly took away our houses and fields..."
"...The taxes have doubled, and I really can't survive..."
"...complaint..."
However, so many people were talking at the same time, and the voices were confusing and interfering with each other. The shopkeeper on the side felt his head was spinning, but Wang Hong actually understood and kept nodding.
After the refugees finished speaking, Wang Hong stamped his feet and sighed: "It turns out it's not a natural disaster, but a riot. Corrupt officials have done such evil. All the villagers are really pitiful."
Seeing that Wang Hong seemed to be feeling the same, the old man Zhang Huan on the side also said sadly: "It's those corrupt officials in Ai who, by preparing for the emperor's southern tour, levied excessive taxes and taxes everywhere. They have forcibly expropriated all the land and houses that we people depend on for survival. We really have no way to survive, so we want to go to Beijing to file a complaint, hoping to get justice. Otherwise, if we can still have a bite of food, who would be willing to travel such a long distance? You left your hometown to file a complaint."
As he spoke, Zhang Huan's wrinkled face was already filled with tears.
When the passers-by and diners around saw Zhang Huan dying in such a miserable state, they could not help but shake their heads and sigh.
In today's Ming Dynasty, treacherous ministers are in power and corrupt officials are everywhere. Although this situation is known to everyone, no one can reverse it.
On the other side, while Wang Hong was sighing, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He suddenly raised his hands and said loudly to the refugees: "Fellow folks, if you want to go to Beijing to complain, I have some news here, but I want to tell you."
Seeing Wang Hong's serious look, not only the refugees, but also the pedestrians and diners watching the excitement around them all looked like they were listening attentively.
Seeing that everyone around him was paying attention to him, Wang Hong's eyes flashed with pride, but his mouth sounded upright, as if he was thinking about the refugees.
"Dear fellow villagers, I used to work in the Yamen, and I have heard about your affairs. However, you may not know that the preparations for the emperor's southern tour are personally responsible for the preparations for the emperor's southern tour. He is the future emperor. He is the future emperor. It is said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people, and no one dares to offend him. Now that such a big mistake has been made in the preparations for the southern tour, which has caused such great public dissatisfaction, even though it has a great impact, no one dares to take care of it!"
Hearing what Wang Hong said, the surrounding refugees looked shocked.
These people are just ordinary people. They only heard that Tai had a good reputation and was supported by the government and the public. They thought he was a good person, but now listening to Wang Hong's description, it seems that this is not the case.
However, although Tai had a good reputation, they had never seen it with their own eyes, and Wang Hong had just rescued them, so they couldn't help but believe Wang Hong's words.
While the refugees were shocked and hesitant, Wang Hong continued: "Actually, a few days ago, people from Heze, Shandong Province came to Beijing to complain. They were also beaten by local officials because of the preparations for the emperor's southern tour. The grievances I suffered were the same as those of you. However, the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee were afraid of Tai's power. Not only did the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishments dare not accept the case, but the Procuratorate was under Tai's control and wanted to cover up for Tai. Regarding the beating of refugees, I pity the people of Heze. They finally made it to the capital, but they had no way to complain and were bullied. How pitiful!"
While speaking, Wang Hong shook his head and sighed as if he felt the same thing.
Old man Zhang Huan asked in a trembling voice: "Is this...is this serious?"
Going to Beijing to file a complaint is now their only hope. After learning that there is no way to complain, it is naturally difficult to accept it.
"It's absolutely true!" Wang Hongyan said conclusively: "Many people have seen these things with their own eyes in the capital, and there are rumors about this. I am definitely not deceiving you."
After two days, all kinds of rumors in Beijing have obviously spread here. After hearing what Wang Hong said, many passers-by and diners around who had heard the rumors started to respond one after another.
"...Yeah, I've heard of these things too..."
"...I have not only heard that I watched from the sidelines when the government officials from the Procuratorate beat Heze refugees in the street. It's a pity that ordinary people like us didn't dare to stop the government from doing what it was doing..."
"...I heard that the two yamen of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple originally planned to accept the case, but they were criticized by the emperor..."
"...It is said that factory guards and detectives are out in the capital now, suppressing rumors everywhere, and arresting many people. He must have been under too much coercion. This is because he has a guilty conscience..."
"...It is said that Tai made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one go through the preparations for this southern tour..."
"...Taiye is greedy for money? If it hadn't been for this, I thought he would have been a good emperor in the future..."
"...How come you are not greedy for money? You have to support so many people and spend a lot of money on weekdays. So how can a little salary be enough..."
"...I'm just saying, the world is as dark as crows. From top to bottom in this officialdom, I'm afraid there are no good people..."
………
Originally, hearing Wang Hong's affirmation, the refugees who had benefited from Wang Hong already believed it sixty-seven points. Now when they heard the words of the passers-by and diners around them, they believed it ten percent!
For a moment, the refugees felt that there was no hope of redressing their grievances, and their hearts were filled with despair. Many people were already sitting on the ground, crying loudly.
On the other side, the stall owner, looking at this scene, couldn't help but worry about the fact that the factory guards were suppressing rumors and arresting people everywhere. He had also heard about it. As an honest and responsible businessman, this kind of thing Don't dare to mess with things
But I didn't expect that because of the incident about these refugees today, not only did a large number of people come to watch, but these people, led by Wang Hong, were discussing rumors unscrupulously. If the factory guards got the news in the future, I was afraid that I would not be able to get rid of it. good!
Thinking like this, seeing more and more people gathering around to watch the excitement, and the commotion getting louder and louder, the shopkeeper was secretly frightened, and quickly said loudly: "Everyone, I still have to do business here, so it's not good to be around here. , everyone should discuss it elsewhere!”
However, although the shopkeeper shouted loudly and even bowed to the surrounding people, everyone was focused on discussing the rumors in the capital, but no one paid him any attention.
After the old man Zhang Huan learned the news, he had no other thoughts in his mind. He just took Wang Hong's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "My benefactor, you have worked in the officialdom and you understand better than us." , are there really no place to talk about our grievances?"
Wang Hong shook his head and said: "Nan Ai, you are now going to Beijing to complain. Although you are complaining about local corrupt officials, since Tai is in charge of the southern tour, what you are doing is actually going against Tai! How can you please him?"
After opening his eyes and telling lies, Wang Hong changed the subject and said: "However, fellow villagers, don't be too desperate. Now this matter is getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, it will reach the center of the temple. At that time, all fellow villagers can still hope to seek revenge." It's fair, but there is one thing I hope all of you folks will remember..."
Wang Hong's words once again brought news to the refugees. After hearing Wang Hong's instructions, they all looked at Wang Hong eagerly, waiting for Wang Hong to continue speaking.
I saw Wang Hong with a serious look on his face as he continued: "Everyone after entering Beijing, you can go to any yamen to file a complaint. Only the Duchayuan Yamen is not allowed to go. The Duchayuan is under too much control. If you go That yamen, let alone complaining about your grievances, I'm afraid they will take them into custody and put you in jail..."
Just when Wang Hong was "sincerely" exhorting the refugees, a group of government officials were coming from far away from the official road.
The person leading the team was a censor named Jia Simao from the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
When Jia Simao came here, he was ordered by Lu Chunxiao, the imperial envoy to the right capital, to look for refugees entering the capital along the way, hoping to be the first to get the refugee status to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
