Chapter 974 The Tang Dynasty is Dead(1/3)
Chen Wei is old.
Most of the teeth fell, and the remaining few were beaten clean last time.
He squatted at the door of his house and cried.
"Even if I borrowed the Shi family's usury loan, I paid it back on time. Why did I steal my land? This world is unfair!"
The three sons squatted opposite each other, the eldest was carrying a kitchen knife, the second was carrying a wooden stick, and the third was holding a half brick... As for the grandchildren, they were all in the house and were not given out.
The boss looked up, "Aye, someone is coming to the historian today."
Chen Wei whimpered a few times, "Is this forcing us to be refugees!"
The land in the Tang Dynasty is now tight, and the population of newborns is increasing. According to the rules, we must give land... But where does the land come from?
On the one hand, more and more people are hungry for land, while on the other hand, greedy landlords and powerful people are annexing the land.
"Aye, why not... go to the Western Regions! There is no shortage of fields there." The third brother said timidly.
"Chen Wei!"
Someone is calling a door outside.
Chen Wei shivered for a moment, rushed over and stopped the eldest and second brothers, "Don't! Don't go! Stay all!"
He reached out to grab the kitchen knife and wooden stick, and then opened the door after he got it.
The door opens.
There were five people outside, four of them were obviously a great man who was a slave. Chen Wei, who was riding a horse, recognized Ma Wu, the manager of the Shi family.
Ma Wu pointed at Chen Wei with a horse whip and shouted: "Old dog, if you owe money, you still have any reason to pay it back? Those fields have passed through households. From today on, whenever the Chen family dares to go to the edge of those fields, they will be beaten to death!"
What are the consequences of losing the land? The family became a beggar... Chen Wei trembled all over, "I have paid back all the money, but you didn't want it."
Ma Wu sneered: "You said you would pay it back? Where is the contract?"
Chen Wei's lips squirmed and shouted: "I went with Aye that day. Ma Wu said it was not enough, but when I borrowed money, the Shi family suddenly changed their minds and refused to charge the money. Later, they said that my family would not pay back the money, which was despicable and shameless!"
The neighbors around were listening, and Ma Wu took out a contract, "Look, this was signed by Chen Wei when he borrowed money. If he didn't pay back the money, he would use the Chen family's land to pay off the debt. Who dares to deny this black and white word?"
Chen Lao Er rushed out, pointed at Ma Wu with red eyes and cursed: "Bitch slave, set up a trap to seize my land. Yes, I will definitely go to the county to sue you!"
"Say us? Hahahaha!"
Ma Wu laughed proudly, "Just go!"
Someone in the crowd said, "Chen Laoer, the Shi family knows the county magistrate."
Power has always been niche, and around power, it will consciously or unconsciously surround a group of vested interests. This group of people silently divides the benefits brought by power...
"Who said that?"
Ma Wu scrambled his horse around and cursed: "Bitch slave, stand up!"
The crowd was silent.
Chen Laoer scolded: "Yeah, what he said!"
Ma Wu came over and sneered: "Bitch!"
Whip waving!
Bang!
"ah!"
The horse whip whipped Chen Laoer's face, and he covered his face and screamed.
"Erlang!"
Chen Wei rushed over with red eyes.
Ma Wu said lightly: "Fight!"
Four rich slaves rushed up and then beat him up... In addition to Chen Wei, the three brothers of the Chen family were beaten and covered in bruises.
Chen Wei and the others dare not fight, worried that someone would die.
"Oh my God!"
Chen Wei knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky: "Where is the wise lord who has been promised? What about the good official who has been promised? God, open your eyes and look at the world. They are all beasts! A group of beasts are in power!"
"If you talk more, kill your whole family!"
Ma Wu said sinisterly: "And your grandchildren."
Chen Wei shivered for a moment, "I dare not, I dare not!"
Ma Wu slid his horse around a few times, glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and said in that reserved tone: "We convince people with reason."
Then he rode his horse away.
After arriving at a luxury mansion, Ma Wu got off the horse and went in. The door smiled and said, "Brother Fifth, is it going well?"
Ma Wu said arrogantly: "I have done too many errands like this, so I can get it."
Later, Shi Run, the head of the Shi family, met him.
There was a small black thing on Shi Run's face, I don't know if it was a birthmark or something.
The weather was hot, and Shi Run said impatiently: "How?"
Ma Wu bowed and said, "Then Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen wanted to resist, but they were beaten hard, and Chen Wei was scared."
"When did I ask you to intimidate others?"
Shi Run said lightly: "We must convince people with reason."
"yes."
Ma Wu then went out and boasted to the men later: "It's a pity that I can't learn the proud expression of the husband, otherwise I would have scared the Chen family's father and son."
A servant came out of the backyard and found Ma Wu.
"Mr. Lang asked you to go and find the Han County Magistrate and tell me about the Chen family. The Han County Magistrate naturally knows how to do it."
Ma Wu nodded and muttered, "Who dares to make trouble in the Chen family? The husband is too cautious."
Then he went to the county party committee to find Han Ji, the county magistrate.
Han Ji went to the Chen family in person and said with a stern face that the Chen family was in the wrong.
He pressed the hilt of the knife and his majesty burst out, "If I hear the trouble of the Chen family again, I will be exiled!"
The Chen family was trembling.
As a human being, some people can take advantage of the savages and look down on the world, and by the way, they can make you crawl on the ground and hate why you were born as a human being.
...
"It's the wizard's sister!"
Someone outside shouted.
Chen Wei, who had been sitting behind the gate for a night, was extremely desperate. He slowly turned around when he heard the sound, then jumped up suddenly, opened the door and rushed out.
A ox cart came slowly, and several women were saluting the old woman on the ox cart.
The old woman smiled and greeted her, and Chen Wei noticed that the cavalry was actually accompanying him.
He trembled and saluted.
"Save my family."
...
Half an hour later, Chen Wei followed the ox cart to a place.
"This is……"
This is Xuanzang's former residence.
But at this moment, several big men were guarding outside the door, with their eyes alert.
The ox cart passed, the man guarding the gate nodded and opened the door immediately.
"who is he?"
A big man pointed at Chen Wei and asked.
The accompanying cavalry said, "It was the mage's neighbor back then."
Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief and then followed him into the house.
"Silo!"
The old woman got out of the car and went in tremblingly.
A man came out of the inner room and nodded and smiled: "The mage is inside."
Xuanzang immediately came out and smiled when he saw the old woman, "Sister."
He came down to help Sister into the house. Chen Wei wanted to speak, and the man smiled and said, "Chen Wei?"
