Yipin Tang

Chapter 395

Wang Tong's face turned pale when he saw the mighty people walking along the streets of Chang'an with the soldiers. If Li Shimin just sent soldiers over, there might be a turning point, and he could negotiate, or...

But now, Wang Tong knew that it was impossible for that person to appear. If it weren't for someone deliberately making it impossible for so many people to gather, he knew that Li Shimin was going to kill the family this time.

It's not that Wang Tong never thought about transferring the salt, but the amount of salt hoarded by the aristocratic family during this period is extremely huge, and there is no chance for Li Shimin's people to watch closely.

Wang Tong sighed and returned to the back house. His whole body lost his vitality. His old face looked even older, full of loneliness and depression. Is the family that has been passed down for hundreds of years going to be destroyed by him...

"Father, what should we do! The soldiers outside asked us to open a warehouse to release salt." Wang Yuan looked at Wang Tong in panic.

Wang Tong smiled miserably: "This is not asking us to open a warehouse to release salt, this is asking our family to never turn around!"

"Ah!" Wang Tong gaped for a moment with his mouth wide open, and said anxiously, "Father, didn't you mean that..."

"Shut up!" Wang Tong suddenly yelled, "Hoarding private salt in wartime is at most like ransacking your home and exiling you. As long as you are alive, you still have a chance."

After being scolded by Wang Tong, Wang Yuan woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.Wang Tong is right, if the aristocratic family hoards and sells private salt, it is nothing at all, as long as it is not too public, the court will just turn a blind eye and close its eyes. Now Li Shimin wants to take advantage of public anger to deal with the aristocratic family. With the background of the aristocratic family, it is not that there is no chance of turning over, but if you have a relationship with that person, it is a crime of ransacking the family and destroying the family.

Wang Yuan, who wanted to understand the serious relationship, quickly kept silent. Seeing him understand, Wang Tong sighed and said: "This old man will bear it all, maybe..."

"Master, old man, it's not good! The people outside are about to break in!" The housekeeper of the palace stumbled in and interrupted Wang Tong with a look of panic.

Wang Tong frowned and said, "The salt warehouse is in the south of the city. What are they doing here?"

The common people knew that the family was rich, and they also knew that the family must have hoarded a lot of salt this time, but what they did not expect was that the salt hoarded by the family would be so amazing. This stimulated them, the family cut off the salt for several days, the child was dying, and the aristocratic family actually hoarded such an astonishing amount of salt. At this moment, the anger that broke out in the hearts of the people shocked even Li Er who was in the crowd.

"Master Bing, hoarding and selling private salt is a felony, you can't just let the aristocratic family go like this!" Some "common people" said angrily.

"Yes, we can't let the family go, they are simply too hateful!"

"You can't let the family go!"

The soldiers said: "The family has been passed down for hundreds of years, has a profound heritage, and is quite popular. If we do something to them, it may cause panic and dissatisfaction among the people. It is better to discuss this matter in the long run."

"Bullshit and people's hearts! Aren't we the common people? The private salt of the aristocratic family sells for fifteen pennies a bucket, oppressing the common people like this, my common people brothers, do you think you can let the aristocratic family go!" A sturdy "common people" Said impassionedly.

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

Li Er looked at the impassioned strong man "common people" with satisfaction and smiled slightly: This man's acting skills are pretty good.

So under the strong public opinion, the soldiers "helplessly" led the people towards the family mansion.

Before Wang Tong could react from the astonishment when he heard the words of the steward of the Wang's house, he was shocked when he heard a noise coming from outside. The people had already broken into the Wang's mansion!
As the head of the aristocratic family, the Wang family naturally has a lot of money. There are hundreds of houses in more than a dozen courtyards, pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and jade. The courtyard is full of precious flowers and trees. .

After being stunned, the anger in my heart became stronger, all these riches and honors were obtained by exploiting the common people!
In fact, most of the family assets of the aristocratic family are normal income, not income from exploiting the people. The aristocratic family is not the imperial court, and they have no right to exploit the people. Fifteen sticks and one bucket of private salt, the rest they don't know and don't need to know.

"Smash!"

Someone yelled, and the people immediately found a way to vent their anger, and the scene was in chaos.

The soldiers behind quickly spoke to dissuade them: "Everyone, don't be impulsive, it's wrong to do this, and you should let whatever happens..."

However, their weak voices were quickly buried by the roars of the common people. Li Er watched everything coldly, seeing that the overall situation had been settled, and quietly exited the royal mansion under the escort of Yuchi Jingde.

When the angry people rushed into the Wang family's back house, Wang Tong finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out. Before he passed out, he heard Wang Yuan's anxious calling.

"Father! Father..."

When Wang Tong woke up leisurely, the whole Wang family was in a mess, with traces of smashing everywhere. The huge Wang family fell to this place. Wang Tong looked sad. Guan lay on the ground with bruises all over his body, and a painful expression remained on his face.

"What's wrong with Yuan'er?" Wang Tong's voice trembled as he tried to get up.

Hearing Wang Tong's voice, the butler raised his head and howled, "Master, you're awake!"

Wang Tong looked at Wang Yuan who was lying on the ground tremblingly and asked, "What's wrong with Yuan'er?"

The housekeeper cried: "Those people are crazy and smash everything they see. The master wants to prevent them from being... beaten to death by their hands!"

"What!" Wang Tong was stunned as if he lost his soul when he heard the words.

Seeing Wang Tong's reaction, the butler was afraid that he would faint after being overwhelmed by the stimulation, so he hurriedly said: "Those people who caused trouble have been captured by officers and soldiers, and the imperial court will avenge the master."

Wang Tong shook his head and didn't speak, two lines of turbid tears flowed down his cheeks. With his eyesight, he couldn't see that although Wang Yuan had many bruises, there was only one real fatal one, and the scars on that one place were definitely not something that ordinary people could do. It's done, this is Li Shimin's plan to kill the Wang family!

Thinking of this, Wang Tong was startled, and quickly asked, "Where are the two young masters?"

As soon as the butler's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth and closed his mouth. He just kept shaking his head and weeping. Seeing this, Wang Tong looked up to the sky and shouted: "Li Shimin, you are so ruthless!"

His voice was shrill, and he died of breathlessness after shouting. At the last moment, he finally remembered that Li Shimin was the one who ascended to the throne after experiencing the Xuanwumen Incident and stepping on the mountain of corpses and blood.

The same scene happened in other aristocratic families one after another. On this day, several aristocratic families that had been passed down for hundreds of years were finally destroyed, and the crimes of the aristocratic families were exposed one by one. In time, all the people returned to their hearts, their prestige soared, and the forces that were about to move in the dark suddenly disappeared.
