Eldest daughter

Chapter 187 The Crime of Corruption
"Brother Cha, how is my Wang Er? What about others?" Zhang's hasty voice brought Wang Yuan'er's thoughts back to reality.

Wang Yuan'er settled down, helped old man Wang walk over, looked at the elder brother who was standing at the door, tugged at Mrs. Zhang, and asked, "This elder brother, we are Wang Er's family, my second uncle Wang Er is The little supervisor of the second group of the Hebei Department, someone came home just now and said that my second uncle was arrested and sent to the prison. My grandma fainted from anxiety after hearing this. Do you know what is going on? "

As Wang Yuan'er asked, she slipped a silver key into the elder brother's hand indiscriminately.

Old man Wang saw it clearly, and his eyes darkened again.

Hearing that something happened to the second child, he came over anxiously to find out the news. He didn't even think of taking care of this level. It was the eldest granddaughter who thought about it!
The elder brother weighed the money in his hand, quickly stuffed it into his sleeve, and said, "Wang Er? He took advantage of it and replaced all the good wood for the dam with the rotten wood eaten by termites, and used it as a good one." Corruption of ink is a serious crime, and if it was discovered, Master Li was furious and ordered all the people involved in the case to be taken into prison, and they will be dealt with after investigation."

Mrs. Zhang softened when she heard this, and said: "Brother Cha, this, this is impossible, our master is not such a person, how could he be greedy for ink, who must have poured dirty water on him!"

The old man Wang's lips trembled, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Big brother, is this a mistake? My second son has been working as the supervisor for a long time, and he is usually down-to-earth. How could he have the guts to do such a thing? "

"Whether it was a mistake, whether it was a crime or not, it is up to the adults to strictly investigate and conclude. In short, this batch of wood is rotten wood and cannot be used. Just think about it, if you use this wood that has been hollowed out by termites to build a dam, in case If there is a flood, how long can it last?" The elder brother said coldly.

"That's right, you don't have to worry about being punished by God for doing this kind of unconscionable thing, it's not worth taking human life!"

"That's right, that's right, such a person should be sent to prison and tortured."

The townspeople onlookers criticized one after another.

After being severely tortured, Old Man Wang trembled, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Wang Yuan'er patted his hand lightly, pursed his lips, and simply walked up to the batch of wood with the qi-death lantern, squatting down to take a closer look.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but gasped.

Inside the rough round wooden pillars, nothing can be seen from the outside, but inside, there are many termites densely covered, and the wood inside has been eaten away. This kind of wood can't bear the strength at all. If it is used to build dams in clusters, how can it withstand the erosion of floods?
Besides, termites are the enemy of dikes and dams. They nest densely and multiply rapidly. Nurseries are scattered all over the place, and ant tunnels extend in all directions. Dams, and when there is a flood, when the water level rises, the hollowed out dams will collapse.

It can be seen how terrible this termite is.But now, Wang Er is suspected of replacing the rotten wood with good wood. Isn't this courting death?
Wang Yuan'er suddenly thought of the Dengwen Drum case. Wasn't it because of cutting corners and shoddying inferior ones, which led to the lack of dikes and countless deaths and injuries?
Now, what is the difference between this and the Dengwen Drum Case?If you don't find out, all the wood is used up, and the consequences...

Wang Yuan'er didn't dare to think about it, stood up, and the messenger was already driving old man Wang and Mrs. Zhang away.

She hurried forward, supported the old man Wang, and said: "Grandpa, there is nothing to ask about this, let's go back first, and go to the yamen tomorrow after dawn?"

Old man Wang didn't have a clue at this time, and nodded after hearing what the eldest granddaughter said.

"If I don't leave, they must have arrested the wrong person. Your second uncle, how can you be such a person?" Zhang yelled.

"Hey, with all the witnesses and material evidence, how can you wrong him? You mother-in-law, go away, and tell the adults if you have any grievances!" The elder brother pushed her.

Mrs. Zhang fell to the ground, she had never been treated like this before, she just sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Wang Yuan'er had a headache, so she had to walk over and said in a low voice, "Second Aunt, go back first, what's the use of crying here? Why don't you go back and find a way to save Second Uncle?"

She also had to ask Mrs. Zhang, what's wrong with the second uncle these days, so as to discuss countermeasures.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately grabbed her arm and said, "Yes, I want to save your second uncle, hurry up and go home!"

Several people rushed to the house again. Behind them, the townspeople who knew well pointed and said bad things.

As soon as I stepped into the house, there was suddenly fine snow in the sky, the wind was blowing, and it was scraping on the window paper, the chill pierced my heart, and it was so cold.

Wang Yuan'er gathered up his overcoat and walked into the courtyard. The main room was brightly lit, and there were the cries of Mrs. Wang and Wang Chun'er's low voice of comfort.

I don't know when Mrs. Wang woke up!

Wang Yuan'er didn't go back to the east room either, she blew out the wind lantern in her hand, and followed Old Man Wang into the main room.

As soon as Mrs. Wang saw them coming back, she immediately stopped crying, stood up and asked, "What's the matter? What happened to the second child?"

Old man Wang roughly explained the matter, and took out the cigarette bag from the end of the kang, but his hands were shaking all the time, and the fire failed to light up after several times.

Mrs. Wang fell down on the kang, her face was pale, and she cried: "How is this possible? How could he have the guts to be greedy for ink? How could I not know that he crawled out of my stomach? This must be a mistake, old man, you But if we want to fish him out, we will only have this one son!"

Wang Yuaner's heart was blocked, and when he looked over, under the light, Mrs. Wang's face was ugly white, her frowning face was full of tears, her hair, which was usually combed meticulously, was a little disheveled, and her temples seemed to be a little messy. Just a few more strands of white hair.

Grandma is getting old too!

Wang Yuaner felt a little sour in his heart. First, he experienced the pain of losing his son and daughter-in-law, then the incident of Wang Miner, and now Wang Er was imprisoned for corruption. This series of blows has already put the always tough master The mother-in-law was half broken.

Mrs. Zhang also cried: "Father, you must rescue Erlang, if, if something happens to him, I, I will die!"

"Shut up! What's wrong, you crow mouth!" Wang Pozi suddenly yelled.

Zhang choked with sobs, not daring to raise her head.

Seeing that Wang Yuaner was about to quarrel again, she couldn't help but rubbed her forehead, and spoke before they were about to quarrel.

"Stop arguing, the most urgent thing is to get the second uncle out, but we don't know anything about this situation, and it's hard to make a conclusion. Second aunt, you are someone close to the second uncle. Do you know what's wrong with the second uncle recently? "

Wang Yuan'er looked at Mrs. Zhang. She has slept with Wang Er for so many years, and she has figured out everything about her temperament. As a lady, she should be aware of what happened to Wang Er.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, and said: "There is nothing wrong with your second uncle. The Tianhe Department is rushing to work again. No, I didn't come home for lunch, and I came back late at night, or I drank too much. Come back drunk, I don't know what's wrong with him?"

"Then who does the second uncle hang out with, who does he drink with, and who does he often see, don't you know?" Wang Yuan'er asked with a frown.

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears and shook her head.

Mrs. Wang got angry and cursed: "How can you be a daughter-in-law? My men don't even know what's wrong with me. What do you want? Pack your bags and go back to Zhang's house as soon as possible!"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help rebutting: "I'm a woman who can't take care of men's affairs. If I ask too many questions, he thinks I'm annoying and long-winded."

"You..." Wang Pozi was so angry that she bent down to pick up the shoe and threw it at her.

Wang Yuan'er had a headache and hurriedly said, "Grandma, now is not the time to pursue the matter!"

Although she was also speechless to Mrs. Zhang, but now it is really not to pursue the responsibility of being a lady, but to ask Wang Er's recent whereabouts and movements before she can take the next step.

The old man Wang also persuaded a few words, it is the time when you are upset, what's the point of arguing about this?
Wang Chun'er also persuaded, and even brought a cup of hot tea, which was very calm.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Wang Yuan'er remembered who Wang Er was talking to outside the gate a few days ago, and what he took, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.

Since it is said that the second uncle received the benefits, there must be some stolen money or something. She watched that night, could it be like this?

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan'er asked Zhang again: "Second Aunt, how is Second Uncle spending money recently? Did you give anything?"

"No!" Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and was a little surprised that she asked this.

"Since the elder brother said that the second uncle is greedy for ink, if it is true, then the second uncle must have taken something. Second aunt, go back to the room and look through it to see if there is any such thing?"

"That's impossible. If your second uncle had money or something, how could he not hand it over?" Mrs. Zhang said without thinking.

"I'll go if I tell you, what nonsense are you talking about? Look carefully." Mrs. Wang glared at her.

Zhang muttered and went.

While Mrs. Zhang was going to dig the house, Wang Yuaner's mind was spinning rapidly again, thinking about what to do with this matter.

Just relying on the words of a bad brother, I can't figure out the truth. The key is to find Wang Er and ask him clearly, so that he can know what's going on and decide what to do.

But now Wang Er is still in the prison, if he wants to find someone, he has to go to the yamen, tomorrow, I'm afraid he will have to go to the yamen.

"Grandpa, grandma, I have to find my second uncle to ask about this matter. I thought, tomorrow I have to go to the yamen to ask what's going on?" Wang Yuan'er looked at the second elder and said.

Old man Wang nodded, and Mrs. Wang said: "I must go, I heard that torture will be used in prison, your second uncle..."

As she spoke, the circles of her eyes were red again, and her slightly bent body was trembling, which made people feel sad.

Wang Yuan'er was about to speak, when suddenly Zhang's cry came from outside.

"Wang Er, you enemy, what do you want to do if you have money!" Zhang cried, and walked into the main room with a cloth bag: "Father, mother, look, that enemy is really real!" Hid the silver!"
