Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 94: Confiscation of Jinghai Wang Family’s Property!

People are all motivated. As long as one person speaks up, the rest will follow suit.

So, the farmers in the room knelt on the ground and told the Wang family every evil thing they had done.

"The Wang family forced me to sell them thirty acres of good farmland. It was thirty acres of good farmland, but they only gave me five hundred copper coins!"

"The Emperor had previously ordered Master Wang to return our land to us, but Master Wang gave all the land to Master Liu. We didn't get our land back at all!"

"Sir, please help us. Master Wang's grain tax is too high. We really can't survive!"

"I don't ask for my land back, I just ask you to reduce some of the grain tax and give us a way to survive!"

"..."

Compared with the evil deeds done by the Zhou family of Changping, the evil deeds done by the Jinghai Wang family were actually more restrained.

The Wang family was only obsessed with occupying the farmers' fields, while the Zhou family not only occupied the farmers' fields, but also occupied the emperor's imperial farm, attacked passing caravans, raped women, and beat farmers to death.

Now, the Zhou family has been destroyed, and all three clans have been exterminated by Zhu Youtang.

The Wang family is not far from destruction.

Qin Lu ordered the Western Factory guards to record what the farmers said.

At this time, a large group of Western Factory guards suddenly arrived, with a total of more than a hundred people.

The leader handed a secret letter to Qin Lu.

Qin Lu opened the secret letter and found only two words written on the paper inside.

Catch it.

Qin Lu closed the secret letter, turned around and immediately took these Western Factory guards away from Duliu Village.

Before leaving, the first farmer who spoke boldly asked, "Sir, when will your West Factory give us justice?"

Qin Lu glanced at him without stopping: "Now."

The farmer stared at the departing backs of Qin Lu and a group of Western Factory soldiers, stunned.

Someone pushed him from behind: "Hey, are you stupid? They've all left, why are you still standing here in a daze?"

"I want to visit Mr. Wang's house."

Suddenly, the farmer murmured to himself.

"What? Going to Master Wang's house? Are you crazy?!"

Others shouted in surprise, "You haven't paid the rent for this year yet. If you are caught by Mr. Wang's family, they will hang you up and beat you again."

"But the gentleman just now said that he would go and seek justice for me now."

"I think they should have gone to Mr. Wang's house."

"I want to go and see, I want to go and see!"

The farmer muttered to himself, his heart beating fast, feeling that something was about to happen.

Then he immediately ran out of the cabin and ran towards Wang Yuan's residence.

Only the people around him were left inside the house shouting, "Hey! Hey! Are you really going? Are you going to die?"

Just as the man was thinking that the farmer was being puzzled, the other farmers in the room also stood up.

"I also want to go and take a look outside the Wang family's house."

"Me too. I don't think that gentleman just now was lying to us. He really went to seek justice for us."

"Then let's go to the Wang family's house and take a look!"

"Go together! Go together!"

With one person taking the lead, the farmers in the house soon reached an agreement and went to Wang Yuan's house together with their friends.

When the man saw that everyone had left, he shouted anxiously, "Hey! Hey! Why are you all leaving?!"

"Wait for me, I'm going too, I'm going too!"

After shouting, he also went out and ran towards Wang Yuan's mansion with the large group.

……

Wang’s mansion.

Wang Jun, who had been in a coma for a long time, suddenly woke up from his bed.

"Third Master, you are awake."

The beautiful woman standing by had a look of surprise on her face and quickly ran over to help Wang Jun up.

"Third Master, I prepared some meat porridge. It's still hot. Would you like to eat some while it's hot?"

Wang Jun looked at the beautiful woman beside him who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes.

"Sister Xue...ah..."

Wang Jun wanted to say something but stopped, and in the end he could only cry bitterly.

Wang Jun's wife, Xue, with her hands covered in pearls and jade, gently stroked Wang Jun's cheek, her face anxious, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

"I regret it so much, so much!"

Wang Jun lowered his voice, his tone full of regret.

"I really regret that I didn't stand up to stop my brothers when they were seizing the land of the surrounding farmers."

"Now my two brothers are stubborn and stubborn, and they don't know that disaster is coming. I regret it, I really regret it."

Xue's heart started to panic, and the jewellery on her head began to shake.

"Third Master, what do you mean?"

Wang Jun took a deep breath and wiped away his tears: "Nothing, I just miss my child. Bring Huan'er in."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After Xue left the room, Wang Jun got up and took out a wooden box from the cabinet. Inside the box was a bag of white powder.

Wang Jun poured the powder into the rice porridge on the table and shook it well.

Not long after, Xue came in holding a little boy of about four or five years old. The boy was wearing a brocade hat and a mink coat, with a huge jade pendant hanging around his waist. The value of this outfit was equivalent to the harvest of an ordinary farmer after twenty years of hard work.

"Dad!" the little boy called to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun responded with a smile: "Huan'er is here, sit down quickly and drink porridge with dad."

"it is good!"

Wang Jun pulled Xue and Wang Huan to sit down, scooped a bowl of porridge for each of them, and then the three of them drank the meat porridge together.

While drinking the meat porridge, Xue suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the house.

"Who's outside and why is it making so much noise?"

Xue stood up and wanted to go outside to see what was going on, but Wang Jun grabbed her wrist.

"Never mind him, let's have a good meal as a family."

"it is good."

Xue smiled and sat down again, and the whole family drank the porridge together.

……

After receiving Zhu Youtang's order, Qin Lu immediately brought a group of men from the Western Factory and rushed to Wang Yuan's residence at full speed.

Since the capture of Liu Zong and Zhang Hai, Qin Lu has been transmitting intelligence back to the West Factory while collecting evidence and investigating Ruian Earl Wang Yuan.

Over the past few days, from the evidence provided by officials in Jinghai County to the confessions of the people, Qin Lu has already gained a clear understanding of the Wang brothers' occupation of farmers' land.

After arresting the Wang brothers, they can be convicted at any time!
Soon, Wang Yuan's mansion appeared in front of Qin Lu.

At this moment, the door of Wang Yuan's mansion was closed, and it was quiet inside, with no sound.

Qin Lu gave the order: "Search! The three Wang brothers must be killed alive. Anyone else who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, Second Gear!"

With Qin Lu's order, hundreds of Western Factory soldiers surrounded Wang Yuan's mansion to prevent anyone from escaping.

Originally, Qin Lu only brought a dozen men from the Western Factory to supervise the work of surveying the land.

In order to confiscate Wang Yuan's property, Wang Zhi specially selected a hundred or so Western Factory guards and sent them to Qin Lu for service.

After hundreds of Western Factory guards surrounded Wang Yuan's mansion, someone came forward and knocked on the door.

But the gate refused to open, so the Western Factory guards broke in.

"boom!"

The black lacquered gate of the Wang's mansion was chopped into pieces by the Western Depot soldiers. After a large number of Western Depot soldiers rushed into the Wang's mansion, they found that it was filled with a large number of guards holding sharp blades.

Judging from their appearance and posture, they are exactly the same as the group of people who attacked Qin Lu before.

In addition, there were many servants and maids hiding behind the guards.

The guards gathered in front of the main hall and protected the main hall behind them.

"who are you?!"

"This is the residence of an official appointed by the imperial court. You must leave quickly. Otherwise, if the imperial court investigates, you will all be killed without a burial place."

Behind the guards, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler stood on the steps in front of the main hall and shouted at the people from the Western Factory in a timid manner.

Qin Lu snorted coldly: "We in the West Factory arrest officials appointed by the imperial court."

"Tell me the truth, where are Wang Yuan, Wang Qing and Wang Jun?!"

The butler looked panicked and kept glancing outside.

"I do not know what you're talking about!"

"This is Mr. Liu Zong's home. The three people you mentioned are not here. You've come to the wrong place."

"If you want to find Earl Rui'an, you have to go to Earl Rui'an's mansion. Why are you coming to Mr. Liu's house?!"

Qin Lu was too lazy to talk nonsense: "Search!"

"Yes, Second Gear!"

The guards from the Western Factory immediately searched the inner room. The butler's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Let's see who dares!"

No one paid any attention to him, and the Western Factory guards continued to move forward.

The butler was powerless to stop it. He was so anxious that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.

When the Western Factory soldiers were about to rush over, the guards took the initiative and killed them with sharp blades in hand.

In a flash, the two sides came into close combat in the mansion and started a fight.

On the other hand, nearby farmers who had been oppressed by the Wang brothers for seven or eight years were coming in droves.

Led by the previous farmer, many farmers rushed to the Wang mansion.

Along the way, they called upon their friends and gathered all the farmers in the surrounding area whose land had been forcibly occupied by the Wang brothers.

When the farmers heard that an important person from the imperial court was going to advocate for them and cause trouble for the Wang brothers, they immediately became excited.

Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and in the end, hundreds of farmers came to watch the fun.

When they arrived near Wang's mansion, before they got close, they heard shouts, screams, cries of pain and pleas for mercy coming from the mansion.

These shouts seemed like some kind of magical spell, unlocking another nature of these farmers hidden beneath their farming talent.

Their hearts were beating fast, their breathing was becoming rapid, their eyes were turning red, and their temples were throbbing, as if something was trying to break free from their bodies.

They couldn't help but quicken their pace, and when they arrived at Wang's mansion, they were greeted by a tragic scene.

The entire Wang’s mansion was covered with blood, including the ground, walls, doors, and windows.

The corpses on the ground had their eyes wide open, staring blankly at the sky.

The Western Depot guards were covered in blood and viciously hunted down all the guards who dared to resist arrest by the Western Depot.

The servants and maids of the Wang family were screaming and running away, looking extremely miserable.

These images shocked the brains of the onlookers, making their blood boil. There was a kind of hostility boiling in their bodies, which they urgently needed to vent out!
