Chapter 68 [In the Wang clan, someone is going to die]
If stone salt is gone without poison, it will no longer be useless. Even the emperor will be crazy about the huge benefits involved.
Since ancient times, both salt and iron have been the foundation of the country's dynasty.
All industries are led by salt, and all people are indispensable.
Because people cannot be without salt, it is a terrible thing to not eat salt for a long time. They will get sick, weak, lose vision, and imbalance in the body fluids. If there is no salt, people will die if they can't hold on for a few years...
Salt is the most important thing in the world.
The family has been passed down for thousands of years and has a huge foundation. These high-ranking families not only master the language of scholars, but also control the management of the people's livelihood and all industries in the world. The reason why the Wang family in Taiyuan ranks first in the family is of great importance to its control of the salt industry.
And now!
Someone challenged their bottom line.
Stone salt is poisonous. As we all know, people now remove the toxins in stone salt. Even the stupidest person understands how huge the benefits are.
This is a challenge that can shake the family's foundation.
The elders of the Wang clan in Taiyuan were all as deep as water, and the entire convention hall could be said to be a needle that could be heard.
After a long time, the patriarch Wang Gui suddenly looked up slowly and stared at Wang Xun and said, "Shiyanshan was deceived from you, and you must bear this crime..."
Scam it?
Wang Xun was stunned.
"Not bad, go ahead..."
Wang Gui stroked his long beard and said in a slow tone again: "Now, Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty, who is a new noble in the court, uses any means to ignore human ethics, drives his son to show others by fraudulent means, drives his daughter to use arrogance and arrogance as a supplement, and uses the hands of his children to deceive the Wang family in Taiyuan..."
This is purely a lie with your eyes open.
The old guy was indeed well versed in fighting, and was ready to start a fight. He opened his mouth and put a big hat of fraud on the Cheng family.
But the elders of the Wang clan were nodding repeatedly, and some people pretended to be righteous indignant and said, "The Cheng family is not a son of humanity..."
Wang Gui glanced at everyone, and finally stared at Wang Xun again, and suddenly said: "Wang's family was deceived and was embarrassed by the family. Wang Xun, the shopkeeper of the warehouse, felt guilty and could not face the tens of thousands of hungry nephews in the family. The man was crying and sighed with grief and anger..."
This was said slowly, but his tone gradually became cold. Wang Xun felt cold and couldn't help but tremble, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Unfortunately, Wang Gui ignored his fear at all and continued to say: "Wang Xun was deceived and was distraught. He was pitiful to his fourth brother, who was very focused on being a clan, and was bullied by the Cheng family. The fourth brother entered the Wang family's ancestral temple at night, kowtowed and hit the ground, bleeding like a river, and then opened his eyes wide open, and died with anger. Before he died, he still cried loudly and sweared to the sky: "The Cheng family defrauded me and apologized for death. Even though my Wang Xun turned into a ghost, he would not rest with the Cheng family. After I died, my body would not be buried, and I carried it to the door of the Cheng family, and the corpse was stinking all over the family..."
These words were like the cold wind blowing from the Nine Netherworlds. Wang Xun was trembling all over and said in fear: "Brother, brother, are you trying to let me die?"
Wang Gui looked at him, his face was not rippled at all, and he said quietly: "I will take these words to the court."
Wang Xun's face was pale and his trembling even more violently. The old man's face was bitter and murmured, "Brother, does this have to be the case?"
"Not bad, it must be!"
Wang Gui stared at Wang Xun and said firmly: "I will tell you what you say, and you will do what you will do..."
What you do?
How to do it?
Of course, it's going to die.
Only after a person dies can he carry the body to the door of Cheng's house, which is both dirty and stigmatized. The battle between aristocratic families must first occupy the moral commanding heights. What is more sympathetic than dying unjustly?
A family has been passed down for thousands of years and has its own way of survival. It is both cruel to others and to itself. As long as it encounters a shaking of the foundation of the clan, the clan leader of the aristocratic family can let his brothers and sisters die.
Only breathing can be heard in the entire convention hall.
All the elders of the Wang clan were watching Wang Xun.
Wang Xun suddenly sighed, and gradually stopped trembling. He looked up at the plaque in the center of the conference hall, suddenly let out a tragic laugh, and said loudly: "If you can die for the clan, you will still be honored after death. All clan elders, I, Wang Xun, are you going..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted again, and suddenly ran wildly under his feet, raising his head to the big pillar at the door.
Bang!
But when he heard a dull sound and another scream, he saw Wang Xun fall down softly, and his skull was already bursting. The old mao's aura was rapidly depressed, but he forced himself to die for the last breath. He just stared at everyone present and said, "My descendants should not treat me harshly..."
Everyone remained silent and looked at the clan leader.
Seeing that the clan leader was about to express his opinion, Wang Xun could no longer hold on. He suddenly turned back and took it from the ground again. He shouted to the sky: "Brother, remember, my descendants should not be treated harshly, ahhhhhh!"
With a thud, he fell to the ground and was so angry.
I don’t know if this old guy was unwilling to die, but when he was dying, he was really angry and his eyes widened.
All the elders present sighed.
Only the patriarch Wang Gui's expression remained unchanged, and suddenly said, "Call someone and carry it. From today on, I will let my fourth brother's body rot in front of the Cheng family..."
This is just the first step in the battle for the salt industry!
...
Outside Chang'an City, on the banks of the Weishui River.
There is a simple camp of refugees here, living in tens of thousands of yellow-faced refugees. The sky gradually dusk and the sunset has set. However, there is no life in the camp of refugees. The entire official road is covered with people.
The refugees were looking forward to it and were waiting.
Their eyes were heartbreaking, both expecting and nervous. Although everyone was hungry, they forced to wait silently.
After those countless refugees, two young men hid quietly in the woods, one of which was Li Yun, and the other was Cheng Chumo.
The master and apprentice did not alarm the refugees, but just hid in the woods and looked at them. The little overlord was originally a person who was not sitting in a nest, but at this time he could even hold back and say nothing.
There was hope in Li Yun's eyes.
Cheng Chumo also had expectations in his eyes.
Although the master and apprentice did not say a word, they were actually anxious inside.
Just as I was waiting for this anxious time, I suddenly heard the voice of a little Yaya among the refugees.
The little girl was about three or four years old, and she was the most innocent age. She grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes with her yellow little hands, but her little head kept staring at the distance of the official road, and asked very eagerly: "Mom, Dad, come back soon."
Before her mother could answer, Xiao Yaya said silly and said: "Brother Li Yun told me that from today on, we will no longer eat the porridge given by the court, because it is someone else's alms. Eating the alms will make us unable to straighten our waists. Mother, what does it mean to be unable to straighten our waists?"
Xiao Yaya blinked her black eyes, as if she was looking forward to her mother's answer.
Unfortunately, her mother was obviously not good at speaking and could not reason with her children.
The mother's failure to explain does not prevent the child from continuing to ask.
But seeing Xiao Yaya looking at the official road, she said, "Brother Li Yun told me that from today on, we are no longer beggars who bent over. Daddy will go to make money and buy food for Yaya. Brother Li Yun also told me that we eat the food we earned and we will never have to bend down again. Mom, Daddy is coming back soon. What is money? Can Daddy earn money to buy food?"
Can Dad earn money to buy food?
