"No way! Young Wang, this is never acceptable!" The village chief was shivering with anger and blocked in front of the crippled middle-aged man.
A dog-legged man was about to beat the village chief, but he saw that a group of villagers had surrounded him, and there were no less than a hundred of them.
Once he saw this situation, he was also abashed.
"What are you doing? Want to rebel? Do you not want to farm the land anymore and want to become vagabonds?"
A dog-legged man shouted angrily.
However, the crowd of villagers did not retreat, and there were even many who had already taken out their farming tools and made a show of fighting for their lives.
Just as the scene was at a standstill, Chen Shen's father, Chen Shan, suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Wang Shao, go ask your father, is it true that he doesn't miss the old favor of Long Xing Mountain at all?"
When Wang Shao heard this, his face changed.
Their Wang family was originally just a small landowner, and the reason why they became a big landowner later on was because his dad, Wang Hu, used to make war merits when he was a soldier, and the county rewarded him with a lot of land.
And his father's merits, most of them are in the Longxing Mountain established.
Nowadays, listening to what this mud legged man said, it seems to be a little bit related to the family?
But no matter what, today he is nothing can be done, this group of mud legs although life is cheap, but also because of life is cheap, so they are not afraid to die.
Really want to make a big deal, he planted here, that would be a big loss.
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and said, ''Forget it today! Three days later, someone will come to collect the field rent! If you can't pay it, then don't blame me for being merciless, this is a matter where our Wang family is in charge!
Let's go!"
After saying that, he greedily glanced at the little loli, and then swaggered away with a group of lapdogs.
Seven or eight lapdogs saw this and followed behind, not forgetting to spit a mouthful of saliva before leaving.
...
A few moments later, a group of villagers dispersed, each going back to their own homes to find a way to raise field rent.
Chen Shan and Qin Rou also returned home, see Chen Shen returned safely, both showed a look of relief.
Qin Rou even grabbed Chen Shen's ear and complained, "You're the one who runs fast, don't run around next time, okay? There are so many bad guys under this sky."
After seeing Wang Feng's proclivities, she suddenly felt that her son was also in danger when he went out alone, after all, his son was a good looking man ...
Chen Shen dodged his mother's hand, his expression snappy.
"I know, but I've also raised money!"
"What!"
Chen Shan and Qin Rou both exclaimed in unison, all surprised beyond measure, but before they could continue to ask, Chen Shen took the initiative to change the topic.
"Pops, what do you mean by what you said to that Wang Feng today? Could it be that you still have old feelings with the Wang Family?"
Hearing Chen Shen's inquiry, Chen Shan's wrinkled face flashed with a hint of frustration and muttered, "Twenty years ago, I went to join the army with Wang Feng's dad ..."
"Pops, you guys are still comrades in arms?" Chen Shen was astonished, he had never heard Chen Shan talk about this matter.
Chen Shan smiled to himself as he said, "At first, Master Wang was worried about his son's safety and security, and forced several of us sons of tenant farmers to go join the army together to protect Wang Hu's safety.
The battle of Longxing Mountain was a tragic one, and several other tenants' sons were all killed in action to protect him, while he was a shrinking violet.
After the battle, he even directly claimed my military honor and received a large amount of reward."
"What? There is still such a thing?" Chen Shen's voice instantly raised an octave, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Although he hadn't been in this world for a few years and had less exposure to the outside world, he also knew what a great crime it was to claim military honors fraudulently, so why would Wang Hu dare to do such a thing?
Seemingly seeing Chen Shen's doubt, Chen Shan sighed and said, ''Back then, our parents were controlled by Master Wang, otherwise why would several of us have to fight to the death to protect him on the battlefield?
The matter of claiming military honors under false pretenses, if I make it known, I'm afraid that your grandparents back home won't be able to see you for a single moment and will be returning to heaven."
Hearing these words, Chen Shen remained silent for a long time.
His grandparents had passed away when he was two or three years old, and he was a traveler, so his memories of the two old men were still very deep.
"When your grandparents passed away, and the Wang family became one of the counted big families in the county, I, a tenant, was insignificant, and with your mother and son needing me to support them, I completely threw those military honors to the back of my mind, and only thought about living a peaceful life.
Today, if it is not that Wang Shao is too much ... I will not mention the matter of that year at all, you do not know, Xiaoduo his father s own brother is one of the tenant s sons who died in battle in order to protect Wang Hu in that year."
The room fell into silence.
Qin Rou sniffed and helped her husband straighten his somewhat messy hair, her eyes filled with tenderness.
The fact that her husband preferred to completely swallow his breath for the sake of the safety of their mother and son made her heart very touched.
Chen Shen was also somewhat speechless in his heart.
Not to mention the fact that the Wang family had risked their military honor, but now they even wanted to bully the relatives of the sons of those tenant households who had died in battle in the first place.
This is not too much of a thing.
...
Wang Feng on his way home, the more he thought about the more angry, his hall Wang family big young man even in front of a group of mud legged people ate defeat, this let him how to endure?
Thinking about that cute little loli, his heart was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, unconsciously his footsteps also accelerated a lot.
When he arrived at the Wang family mansion, before he saw his father Wang Hu, he shouted: "Father! Today I was bullied in the stone village, by the way, there is a villager in the stone village who mentioned to me the old love of Long Xing Shan, what's wrong?"
His voice had just fallen when a middle-aged man sprang out from the back of the house, and without saying a word he slapped him in the face.
"Adverse son, what the hell are you screaming for!"
After beating Wang Feng, Wang Hu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, this rebellious son shouted what old love of Long Xing Mountain so loudly, he really owed a beating!
"Father! You even hit me!" Wang Feng touched his face and said with some disbelief.
"The one who hit is you, this rebellious son!" Wang Hu raised his hand to make an appearance of hitting again, but was stopped by a young girl who came next to him at an unknown time.
"Father, don't hit brother, what is it that makes you so furious?"
Looking at his daughter Suqin, the fire in Wang Hu's heart removed a large part of it.
This daughter of his is not a waste like Wang Feng, not only is she extremely talented in practicing martial arts, according to the county magistrate, it seems that she also has the ability to cultivate immortality, and her future is unlimited.
So as soon as he saw her, Wang Hu heart is happy.
"Nothing big, it's just that this kid mentioned some past that shouldn't be mentioned."
"What shouldn't be mentioned? You don't even know how many times you've bragged to me about the battle successes of Long Xing Mountain!" Wang Feng was still a bit unconvinced.
Seeing this, Wang Hu wanted to fight again, but was still blocked by his daughter.
"Father, what's going on? Tell me clearly!" Wang Suqin asked curiously.
Wang Hu smiled a little snappy, and then pulled a pair of children into the inner house, and only then did he tell the story of that year one by one.
"Suqin, a bunch of mud legs are just a bunch of mud legs, isn't the merit they made the merit I made? If I hadn't brought them to join the army, would they have had the chance to make merit?"
Wang Hu had a face that took it for granted, not mentioning in the slightest those tenant sons who died in battle for him.
Because in his opinion, that was all deserved, after all, his status was honorable.
Wang Suqin frowned when she heard this and said in a deep voice, "Father, you're not doing the right thing with this."
Wang Hu heard his daughter say this, his face instantly turned red, and was about to argue and speak about the reasoning of honor and inferiority when Wang Suqin spoke again.
"This matter spreading out will have too great an impact on my Wang family's reputation, father, why don't you cut off the roots?
If my Wang family's reputation is damaged, how can I still step into the Immortal Sect?
Is the death or life of a few pariahs still comparable to my Wang family's reputation and my future? Father, you're senile!"
Hearing these words, Wang Hu's eyes stagnated, and a moment later his expression became ferocious.
