Chapter 12 Killing the County Magistrate



Wang Zheng smiled and puffed out his chest so that he could see more carefully, and asked again: "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Zhian looked at Wang Zheng fiercely and said in a hoarse voice: "I laugh at those short-sighted people, but they will not have a good death in the end. I laugh at you, a young boy, but you are only proud for a moment."

Wang Zheng was also a little amused. "You can't even protect yourself right now, so what qualifications do you have to laugh at others here?"

"Can't protect yourself?"

Wang Zhian sneered and said: "Do you dare to kill me?

Although I can't do anything to you today, I am still an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you, a small manager of an imperial estate, do such a treasonous thing?"

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "If you hadn't made any mistakes, I wouldn't dare to kill you openly, but given your current situation, I can kill you.

Caught in a dilemma, Wang Zhian, who was forced into a corner, rushed towards Wang Zheng on his horse. Wang Zheng took the opportunity to stab him with his knife.

Wang Zheng said with a look of disdain: "You are the child of an aristocratic family? You are nothing! In fact, you should not always talk about your status. Your Taiyuan Wang family originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If you really want to talk about it, it has only been a few hundred years since you became famous.

During the reign of Li Shimin, the harm of aristocratic families had already been seen, and he had dealt a heavy blow to them. Now it was Li Zhi's turn, and he had been secretly dealing with them. When Wu Zetian became emperor, she killed them so badly that rivers of blood flowed.

Still somewhat uncomfortable, Wang Zheng rode his horse away after he finished speaking.

Without the bloodbath caused by Wu Zetian, the land and other resources controlled by the aristocratic families had been liberated and transferred to the hands of the court and ordinary people. Li Longji's reign would have been great if he could handle social conflicts well, let alone a prosperous one.

The Five Surnames and Seven Clans control too many resources, and cracking down on the aristocratic families has become the emperor's top priority.

Wang Zhian murmured and dared not say anything.

If it really doesn't work, just continue to make trouble. As long as the Ba people stand on his side, Wang Zheng will still have some confidence.

Wang Zheng was also a little confused. The matter was quite serious and the court had to give an explanation. Although he had already found an excuse, the key still depended on who was doing the job.

Wang Zheng nodded and said, “Normally, that’s true, but after I kill you, Empress Jin will probably think I’m a talented person.

Even if the court knew about this later and did not punish you, it would be considered as mercy. Do you think the court would still avenge you?"

However, Wang Zheng was not particularly afraid of them because their good days were over.

The so-called Kaiyuan Prosperity was more the legacy of Wu Zetian than the achievement of Li Longji.

Wang Zheng pulled the corner of his mouth and said to Luo Wu: "Don't let them suffer, give them a quick death."

Wang Zhian fell off his horse and couldn't bear it any more. He screamed and held the handle of the knife, saying, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much, help me."

After hearing what Wang Zheng said, Wang Zhian felt a little guilty, but he still said stubbornly: "But my Taiyuan Wang family will avenge me. You are just a lowly person. It is not much more difficult for my Taiyuan Wang family to crush you to death than to crush an ant."

In this case, I think your Taiyuan Wang family should not dare to touch me in the short term. If your family is really that powerful, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others would not be alive until now. As for the future, let's talk about it later."

After a knife pierced the chest, Wang Zheng let go immediately, his movements were a little flustered, after all, it was his first time killing someone.

"Cold."

In this era, there are many ways to kill someone. If someone dies inexplicably, no one will take responsibility for him or her.

I didn’t know what my identity was before?

As for the Zhou Dynasty nobles and descendants of the Yellow Emperor, don't bring them up to make a fool of yourself. How many people in this world are not descendants of Yan and Huang? But you, the Five Surnames and Seven Clan, are the only ones who claim to be descendants of the Yellow Emperor, as if you, the Five Surnames and Seven Clan, are the only descendants of the Yellow Emperor?"

Wang Zheng had already made up his mind. If an ordinary person came to question him and wanted to arrest him, he would not let himself be arrested no matter what. Otherwise, the choice would be in the hands of others.

They looked down upon the emperor's daughters, and their marriages were basically conducted within their own circle. If other outsiders wanted to marry into their circle, they would have to spend more money, which was called: losing money to the family.

Wang Zhian finally got a little scared, and shouted fiercely: "How dare you? I am a descendant of an aristocratic family, how can I die at the hands of a lowly person like you?"

After a few screams, Luo Wu rode up to Wang Zheng and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

You gathered the people under your jurisdiction for no reason, attacked the Ba people for your own selfish reasons, and provoked a war without authorization. This is a capital crime in itself, and dying in the battle is also your own fault.

The Five Surnames and Seven Clans of this era were particularly rampant. To what extent were they?

Wang Zheng sneered and asked, "Do you mean to end your life?"

Hearing Wang Zheng's disdain for the aristocratic families and knowing that Wang Zheng really wanted to kill him, Wang Zhian became truly frightened. He wanted to beg for mercy but could not open his mouth. The pride of a child from an aristocratic family did not allow him to do so.

Next, it all depends on who arrives first. I don’t know whether the letter I wrote has arrived in Chang’an, and how it will be handled there.

After all, he was the manager of the imperial estate. At least no one could come with a real army to attack him. Ordinary people who came were just there to deliver food.

"I, I~."

As Wang Zheng spoke, he slowly pulled out the straight knife from his waist.

Only when someone from Wu Zetian's faction came would he follow them. This way, at least he could seek justice, and with the reasons he had found in advance, he would most likely be safe.

However, in order to appease Luo Wu, Wang Zheng still said kindly: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. I have already sent a letter to Chang'an more than a month ago. When someone from Chang'an comes, the matter will be resolved.

Wang Zhian is asking for death himself, so you can't blame others. He led all the men in the county to wage war against you without any reason, which in itself violated the Tang law. The court should not hold you accountable.

Not to mention that the cause of the incident was that he sent his own son to steal my secret method of papermaking. What I have is the royal property, and his attempt to seize the royal property is tantamount to treason.

Even if this lawsuit is brought to Chang'an, we are still in the right. There is nothing to be afraid of. If things get out of hand, the Empress will make the decision. We just need to hold out for a while at most."

Luo Wu nodded, agreeing with Wang Zheng's words.
