Chapter 15
The news that the horse thief was wiped out by the Sun family soon spread.
At first, people in the county town didn't believe it. After all, Ma Dahu had been entrenched in the mountains around the county town for decades. The officers and soldiers had organized manpower several times, but they didn't even see the shadow of people.
But when Ma Dahu's body was hung on the city wall, everyone believed it.
What surprised everyone even more was that there were three bodies of the Zhao brothers hanging next to the body of Ma Dahu.
The Zhao brothers are accomplices of the horse thief!
The news spread like wildfire and spread throughout the city. Everyone pointed the finger at the Zhao family.
"No wonder the government is avoided by the Ma Dahu every time it sends troops. It turns out that it was the Zhao family who informed me."
"Down with Zhao's family, defeat the Zhao family."
"Since the Zhao brothers are accomplices, their father Zhao Wu will not know, they must be an accomplice."
The people speculated that the government did not dare to neglect it. The county magistrate Yu Qing sent officers and soldiers to surround the Zhao family.
In order to ensure the success of the operation, Wang Chong agreed to the county magistrate Yu Qing and sent thirty of their Sun family guards.
"Master Wang, thank you for your help this time." County Magistrate Yu Qing bowed to thank him outside the Zhao family.
The county magistrate is named Yu Qing. Although he is not a good official, he dare not take the Zhao family's wallet for such a big deal.
"Eliminating harm to the people is everyone's responsibility, and County Magistrate Yu is really too polite."
Wang Chong smiled and continued: "The Zhao family is obviously the mastermind behind the scenes of the horse thief. This time, Yu County Magistrate arrested the mastermind behind the scenes of the horse thief. If you consider merit, you will be the first. If Yu County Magistrate becomes an official in the future, please don't forget our Sun Family."
"Hahaha……"
Hearing the words "Add to be promoted", County Magistrate Yu laughed and nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone is a scene person. How could he not hear Wang Chong's words? Wang Chong gave him the great achievements of catching the horse thief. If he helped the government solve such a big problem, he would definitely be promoted. There is no doubt about this.
While remembering Wang Chong's words in his heart, County Magistrate Yu also changed his view of Wang Chong.
I used to think that he was just a useless scholar, but now it seems that he is hidden from the bottom of his life, at least very good at it.
...
"Wang Erping, if you kill my three sons, you will destroy my family. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!!!"
In the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Wu's heart-wrenching roar came.
At this moment, he was full of regret. He originally thought that Wang Chong was a useless scholar, but he didn't expect that the Sun family would grow stronger and stronger in his hands. He regretted that he was an enemy of Wang Chong!!
Zhao Wu eventually committed suicide, and the servants and maids in the mansion were sent out one by one.
As for his family, they were all killed by Zhao Wu at the last moment.
Zhao Wu had no choice. Once the crime of horse thief was investigated, he would not even mention the nine tribes, and all the women in the family would be sent to be Changji, so he naturally didn't want to see his family like that.
Seeing the bodies being carried out, Wang Chong had no expression on his face and no turmoil in his heart.
Cruel?
He didn't think that this society was a jungle society, whether in ancient times or modern times, kindness to the enemy was cruel to himself!
In terms of the Zhao family's money, they were naturally confiscated, and even the imperial court came to the person in person to bring away the money.
There was no way, the two northern provinces were rebelling, and the front line was in serious shortage of troops and food, and the imperial court was now short of money.
…………
A month later, Yu Qing was indeed promoted to governor.
Wang Chong was rewarded with a thousand acres of land for his contribution to destroying horse thieves.
In the county town, every household knew about Wang Chong's deeds, and everyone knew that the son-in-law of the Sun family was a great hero. It was him who solved the horse thieves around the county town.
I don’t know who gave Wang Chong a nickname, the great hero Mr. Wang, this title lasted for many years.
Three years later, the Sun family's industry expanded across the board, especially the farmers who rented Sun family's land, the output was higher than that of others.
As for the court, the prince took office and worked hard to govern the rebellion, finally suppressed the two provinces of rebellion and restored peace to the country.
When Wang Chong was 30 years old, his son Sun Wenlong had already started dancing with guns and sticks with Sun Jitian, and Sun Xiuxiu was happy again.
Wang Chong said that everything was an accident. That night, he and Sun Xiuxiu...
A year later, Sun Xiuxiu gave birth to a daughter, and Wang Chong found that he liked her more. At Sun Xiuxiu's suggestion, Wang Chong named him this time and obtained his surname, so he named his daughter, Wang Duoduo.
Five years later, Sun Wenlong was already fifteen years old. He loved dancing guns and sticks since he was a child. Under the leadership of Sun Jitian, he went to another province to learn martial arts.
"Wenlong, you have to listen to your uncle's words outside and never argue with others."
Seeing that his son was about to go on a long trip, Sun Xiuxiu's eyes turned red.
Wang Chong was still expressionless. He was sitting in the main seat and calmly drank tea, saying, "Kung Fu is not the main thing. You can hold the two flintlock guns and often learn how to disassemble them. You have to learn how to aim, do you know?"
After saying that, he sighed.
When Sun Wenlong was a child, he tried to teach him how to learn liberal arts and science. Unfortunately, like his uncle, this child likes to dance with swords and guns.
"Don't worry, Erping, sister, I will be optimistic about him. If this kid dares to do anything randomly, I will kill him." Sun Jitian, who had only one hand left, said cheerfully.
The five-year-old daughter sitting in Wang Chong's arms blinked and looked extremely curious.
Another five years have passed. Through the introduction of a matchmaker, his son Sun Wenlong married the daughter of the magistrate. The two of them were in a couple and had a very good relationship.
His daughter, Wang Duoduo, is ten years old and proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is still young, she is still as cute as Sun Xiuxiu back then, and has a spoiled personality.
At night, Wang Chong looked at his gray hair in the bronze mirror and felt a little moved.
As the saying goes, one can stand at thirty, one can’t be confused when one is forty.
In a blink of an eye, forty years passed like this.
The Sun family is developing better and better. With the help of his father-in-law, Sun Wenlong also entered the military camp and became a military battalion commander.
The originally small county town has now become a big city.
But I have also entered middle age.
"Master, do you want to take a concubine?" Seeing Wang Chong looking in the mirror, Sun Xiuxiu walked over the edge of the bed.
Today, Sun Xiuxiu has also changed from a graceful girl to a middle-aged woman.
Due to poor maintenance in ancient times, it looked a lot of wrinkles and was very old-fashioned.
"Why did Madam say this?"
"The masters of other families have at least three or four concubines, so that they can have a prosperous family. If you want to take a concubine, I have recently watched you. Cui'er, who is in charge of the affairs, looks very beautiful, and Liu'er, the youngest daughter of the chef in the restaurant, is fifteen years old."
"Madam, it goes without saying that these things are. I don't have this idea about taking a concubine."
Wang Chong put down the bronze mirror and said, "Go to bed."
"But Master, I am already old and can no longer serve you well." Sun Xiuxiu took off Wang Chong's clothes and sighed: "Master, I know your goodness is for me, but I think you should think more about yourself and think about it."
Just after he finished speaking, the maid outside suddenly knocked on the door: "Master, it's not good. Grandma Chen just suddenly coughed, cough cough... cough bleeding."
