Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1318, The Lawless Sun Family
"Run, keep running!"

Zhu Houzhao was very angry. Here, the local hooligans from the Sun Family Coal Mine had already chased them up. Seeing Zhu Houzhao and the others, they didn't show any sign of fear. Instead, they looked at Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao proudly.

"My lord, help me, my lord, help me!"

Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao really couldn't run anymore, they could only kneel on the ground and kept asking Zhu Houzhao for help.

"Save people, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, he will not be able to save you."

"Dare to run away and see if I don't break your legs when I go back."

The leader was very arrogant, and then said to Zhu Houzhao and others: "These two are servants of our Sun family, I advise you to keep your mind on your own business and don't make trouble for yourself."

After finishing speaking, no matter what Zhu Houzhao thought, with a wave of his hand, his men came to catch Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao with ropes and fishing nets.

Undoubtedly, they didn't encounter this kind of thing once or twice, and they were used to it. On the three-acre land in Huairou County, no one really dared to make trouble with the Sun family.

In the past, some people escaped and were easily caught because no one outside dared to offend the Sun family.

"We are not their slaves, we are not their slaves~"

"My lord, help me, my lord, help me!"

Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao were frightened to death by the hooligans who came over, and they kept calling for help.

"Wait~"

Zhu Houzhao came out with a gloomy face, looking extremely ugly.

Huairou County is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but such a thing still happens.

Daming abolished the slavery system a few years ago. Of course, this system is aimed at the Ming people. No one is allowed to sell, abduct, buy or sell the Ming people, let alone enslave the Ming people. For non-Da Ming people, it is not allowed. protected by this law.

This system is also to prevent big families, big landlords, and big bureaucrats from raising domestic slaves, and it is also to protect the common people of Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the law came out, even the servants of princes and nobles were free people and were no longer their slaves, and the relationship between them was no longer that of master and servant, but a relationship of employment.

It’s just because Daming has always had this tradition, so many times even if they are not slaves, they still continue to work for their former masters as servants and servants, but they come and go freely, receive regular wages, and enjoy the legal rights of Daming. Holidays and working break system.

But now, in Huairou County, the Sun family actually forcibly imprisoned people and even talked about slaves. This is simply slapping the court in the face. Lawless.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao stand up, these local hooligans did not panic at all.

The leader of the group has a scar on his face, so his nickname is Scar.

"Did I not speak clearly enough?"

"These two are servants of our Sun family. Now we are enforcing the family law. Do you think you are tired of working, and dare to take care of our Sun family's affairs?"

"Little boy, I advise you to be more sensible, mind your own business, and don't cause trouble."

Dao Scar looked at Zhu Houzhao carefully, and then looked behind Zhu Houzhao at these things. When he saw the beauties brought out by Zhu Houzhao, his eyes widened, and he stared at the beauties of Zhu Houzhao.

"What a beautiful girl~"

Scar sighed softly.

"I'll take care of this business!"

Zhu Houzhao frowned, extremely upset, especially when they were still staring at their beauties.

"Take them all~"

"Yes~"

When the imperial guards around heard this, they immediately rushed towards Dao Scar and the others like a tiger descending a mountain.

"You guys are really looking for death, and you dare to do something to our Sun family."

"Brothers, kill them."

When Scar saw it, he became even angrier. This is Huairou County, and someone dared to attack the Sun family. He waved his hand and rushed over with his subordinates.

However, as soon as the two sides fought, it was only a blink of an eye, and these people under him were all restrained at once, and each of them was no match for the palace guards.

"Who are you?"

"Do you know the Huairou Sun family?"

"If you dare to attack us, you will never leave Huairou County alive."

The knife scar was pressed to the ground twice, and then it was tied tightly, and it was tied firmly after a few strokes. He shouted arrogantly while struggling.

"Of course I know about the Sun family, but the Sun family will soon be finished."

Zhu Houzhao didn't even bother to look at the scar.

"Liu Jin, return to Beijing immediately with my token, and ask my father to dispatch [-] people to Huairou County. This time, I will uproot the Sun family and completely eradicate this cancer that has poisoned Huairou County."

"Take my token and go to the person in charge of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Huairou County. I want to get all the criminal evidence about the Sun family and information about all members of the Sun family."

"Humph!"

"There is no king's law, lawlessness, and heaven's law will not tolerate it!"

Zhu Houzhao issued several orders one after another, and Liu Jin who was beside him nodded quickly and went to handle the matter quickly.

Here Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao were also dumbfounded. They didn't expect to meet a nobleman, able to mobilize the army and order the factory guards. What kind of gods are these?

As for Dao Scar and the others, they were even more frightened out of their wits. They mobilized the army and the factory guards, claiming to uproot the Sun family. What kind of energy is this?
Who is this person?

"You two don't have to be afraid~"

"I am Zhu Shou, the new magistrate of Huairou County!"

Zhu Houzhao came to Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, for saving my life~"

When the two heard this, they quickly knelt down again.

"Get up, get up~"

"This is what I should do."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and motioned for the two to stand up and talk, and then began to ask about the situation in detail.

"The two of us are from the same village and from Huairou County. We originally planned to go to the capital to work and earn money together."

"But when I was about to leave Huairou County, I met these local hooligans from the Sun family, and they were forcibly detained by them, and then imprisoned here in the coal mine to dig coal for them."

"We have to dig for six or seven hours every day. There is so little food for us, and we can't get enough to eat. The key is that if the amount of coal dug is not enough, we will still be beaten."

"Many people ran away because they couldn't bear it, but they were all arrested and beaten severely. There were more than a dozen people who were beaten to death."

"How many people are there in your coal mine?"

Zhu Houzhao listened carefully, and would also ask for some important information.

"There are probably more than two hundred people. Of course, this is only one of our coal mines. We have heard those local hooligans talk about it. It seems that the Sun family has many such coal mines. Basically, people are imprisoned to dig coal mines."

"Because the wages are very high now, if someone is hired to dig coal, the wages of any one person will be at least five taels of silver a month, and there are holidays and the like."

"The Sun family didn't want to pay the money, so they used various methods to trick people. The two of us were forcibly arrested, and some were cheated and trafficked. There were even some ten How old is the little doll."

Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao talked with each other.

"This Sun family is really devoid of conscience, they have done all kinds of bad things!"

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao also sighed.

"Ouch~"

"The fact that the Sun family has done too many bad things."

"As far as the coal mines are concerned, many of these coal mines did not belong to the Sun family before, but the Sun family robbed them of these coal mines in various ways. Li Yuanwai in our town had a coal mine, and he didn't want to sell it to them, but they gave it to him. In the end, Li Yuanwai hanged himself, their son was beaten into a fool, their daughter was raped and committed suicide, the family was ruined, and finally all the property was taken by the Sun family."

"In this Huairou County, as long as the Sun family has a fancy, no one can escape. They specially raised a group of local ruffians to do these things. It is said that there are many murderers and wanted criminals here."

"In the past, things in Huairou County were not very expensive. Things like food, oil and salt were almost the same as outside, but the Sun family forcibly monopolized all the business. You can only go to the Sun family's store to buy things. If you go to Buying things in other stores will be beaten to death."

"No way, other merchants have to close down, and you can only go to Sun's store to buy high-priced things."

"Also, during the Chinese New Year, many people came back from the Beijing-Tianjin area, and they earned some money. The Sun family members forcibly collected protection fees, and each person had to pay five taels of silver. If they didn't If you pay them, they will beat you.”

"That's why I, here in Huairou County, people have left their hometowns one after another to go to the Beijing-Tianjin area to work and never come back."

When it came to the matter of the Sun family, the two also gritted their teeth with hatred.

"Has any of you reported to officials before?"

Zhu Houzhao wrote down these silently, thought about it and asked again.

"Ouch~"

"Of course there is a reporter."

"But the former county masters, they took money from the Sun family, and they didn't care about these things at all. If they reported to the officials, the Sun family would know about it immediately, and they would be beaten by those thugs immediately. There are dozens of people, and some of the newspapers have their families broken up and their wives separated."

"Some of them went to Shuntian Mansion to sue, but they were still on the way, and the Sun family members chased after them. Even if they arrived in the capital, they would be able to find you immediately."

"It's useless to sue Shuntian Mansion. Sun Qingjiang of their Sun family is the judge in Shuntian Mansion. There are people above him. Even in the court, they are guarded by officials. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people like us."

Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao sighed while talking.

Then he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "It is said that the emperor loves the people like a son, but Huairou County is right under the emperor's feet, but the emperor cannot see our Huairou County and the suffering we have suffered!"
