Chapter 1054 As expected
Xiao Dongliang has been practicing martial arts for more than a year, and has taken tonics. His daily meals are also very rich with Wang Yan. Over the past year, my whole body has grown ten centimeters taller, and my body has become stronger, like a little calf.

Facing the killers who were surrounding him, Xiao Dongliang chose to take the initiative. Because he deeply understood that if there was a real fight, he might be Wang Yan's burden. So he rushed forward directly, using his short body to hold the knife that someone was slashing at him. Then he twisted his hands and flipped the man's wrist joint. He had already entered the sword with his bare hands. Then he twisted his waist and straddled his body, dragging the man to change positions with him.

The next moment, the sword flashed, and two people swung their swords mercilessly on their accomplices. Immediately afterwards, another person came up, and three people surrounded the small pillar to block it.

The remaining twenty or so people continued to kill Wang Yan without stopping. As they ran, they spread out in a fan shape, blocking Wang Yan's retreat and not giving him a chance to escape.

Because he practiced martial arts at home every day and taught various attack methods when organizing and training Xiang troops, people who paid attention knew that Wang Yan was good at both civil and military skills, so they paid enough attention to him.

Wang Yan stood there with a smile, observing the actions of these killers.

Although it was just a simple circle of people, it was enough to see a lot of things. They were not soldiers because they did not cooperate with each other tacitly when encircling them. There was no communication in the eyes, which showed that they were unfamiliar, and they must have been organized temporarily.

Therefore, the identity of these people has been determined. They are dangerous elements who are strong, have some martial arts skills, and may have some achievements. Perhaps the banker recently recruited by the big family promised a huge profit and asked them to kill him or someone to solve the problem.

Wang Yan was not bored enough to arrange for someone to assassinate him as a way to launch an attack. He arrested those ten families in order to kill the leader and forcefully push for his cleaning fee.

So now the origins of these people are not known. There are just a few large households that have not been arrested. They don't want to be the meat on Wang Yan's chopping board and want to simply solve Wang Yan, the person who caused the problem. As long as Wang Yan dies, Hangzhou will still be in the same situation as before. Moreover, they were able to accept the inheritance of the ten families that had been dealt with by Wang Yan, and actually strengthened their strength. It is really a good thing that achieves multiple things with one stone and everyone is happy...

Damn Wang Yan finally stopped holding his hands behind his back. Facing the swarms of enemies, the best way was of course to get rid of the situation of being attacked from both sides and use his position to face as few people as possible at the same time.

So he rushed towards the person in front of him, then paused, kicked low, blocked his hands, and grabbed the knife. In the blink of an eye, he had the horizontal knife in his hand, kicked the person's calf bone in front of him, and turned around. While doing so, he also punched one person in the abdomen and killed one person simply.

Seeing that Wang Yan was so ferocious, the other killers had no impact at all and continued to kill Wang Yan desperately. This shows that they really spent their money.

Wang Yan did not go on a killing spree. He just held the knife and quickly retreated to meet the knife. While holding someone else's knife to block, he would easily break the person's tendon and kick their face bones to pieces, making them lose their fighting ability. He would also kick the knife away from them.

He moves quickly, fighting and retreating, taking his time and walking away as soon as he succeeds.

The killers were of course desperate for such a short time. Because they desperately wanted to touch Wang Yan with their blades, but found that they were always just two inches short. During this period, their numbers were rapidly decreasing.

During this time, the Xiang troops standing guard at the city gate rushed over quickly and blew their trumpets as a warning. You could clearly hear the response from Qiantang City.

During this time again, the people working near the city gate had also reacted. From the initial blank look, they recognized that the person being surrounded and killed was Wang Yan, and then some people raised their arms and shouted, and they all picked up various tools in their hands, some with shovels, some with shovels, and some. Some were holding sticks, and some were holding stone bricks. They gathered together and came towards this direction in a roaring voice.

Then there was nothing more. There were twenty-five killers, and no one escaped. Xiao Dongliang killed three, the Xiang army killed six, the common people killed two, and the remaining fourteen were all captured alive.

When the fighting ended here, the first government officials who ran out of the city arrived in full gear, followed by more than a hundred Xiang troops. When they saw workers gathering together with tools, they thought there was a civil uprising. They walked over nervously, guns drawn, until they saw Wang Yan smiling and Wang Dongliang next to him with blood all over his body and face. , and then he relaxed, and the leader hurriedly came up to care about the leader like a dog-legger, very clumsily...

Wang Yan was still very satisfied with the current scene.

The response speed was not slow, and when the team was in place, the lineup was neat and there was no panic. More importantly, the people also picked up the stuff and ran to save him. This fully demonstrated the results of his work over the past period and he still won a lot of people's support.

After asking people to take away the captured killers and arrange for people to collect and clean the corpses, Wang Yan solemnly saluted the people who had not dispersed.

"Wang Yan was in trouble today. Wang Yan is very grateful to all the fellow villagers who came to rescue him. Folks, don't worry, Wang Yan will definitely lead the folks to live a good life..."

After delivering a speech to the people, Wang Yan left and returned to the Yamen.

Giving Fan Zhongyan a reassuring look, Wang Yan said: "Guys, do you understand now? These people are so daring that they want to kill me. I heard someone in the court said that Wang is going his own way and oppressing the people. But I don't know. Are these people the people who just killed the two killers? Or are they the people who hired the killers? Thanks to the help of Duke Fan, all industries in Hangzhou are prosperous and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. This year, there will be a great famine in Zhejiang, but I am the only one in Hangzhou..."

Wang Yan made a generous speech to the people from the capital who came to reprimand and inspect, expounding the rights and interests of the big family. He also wrote a memorial on the spot and submitted a letter to Bianjing, proposing to levy additional commercial taxes and clear the land and household registration of the world.

The purpose is simple, shout out the slogan first. This definitely can't be done, Zhao Zhen doesn't have the guts to do it. But I won't be too sensitive about the so-called 'cleaning fee' paid by Wang Yan in Hangzhou.

Because Wang Yan wanted to collect taxes from all over the world and clear the land and household registration of the father-in-law, the emperor did not dare to do it, the court did not dare to do it, and the local officials did not dare to do it. Can you blame Wang Yan for charging a 'cleaning fee' here? Anyway, he either levies an additional business tax or a cleaning fee. Whoever is awesome will collect it. If he dares not to collect it, don’t say anything.

Of course, the best people are always envied and rejected by others. Because to other officials, Wang Yan is the 'incorrect' party. This is not right or wrong, it is just a different stance.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Yan wants to rebel. If he does not come to power and hold the knife tightly, his policies will not be implemented and his reform results will not last long. Although it may inevitably be useless in the future, if Wang Yan were a common people and asked him to vote for someone to be emperor, he would vote for himself...

After sending people to Beijing quickly to submit the memorial, Wang Yan took people from the capital to the prison underground of the state government office, watched the entire interrogation process, and listened to the results of the interrogation.

What happened this time was done by two large companies in Hangzhou. If ranked according to that list, their two families would be eleventh or twelfth.

Knowing the mastermind, it was natural to kill them. The Xiang army came out empty-nest again, and the two big families were not spared.

Fortunately, these killers were quick to explain, and the prison chiefs in the yamen who were responsible for executions did not use unconventional methods, so these people explained everything clearly. Even though these two families had made some preparations in advance, not many people escaped. It's nothing more than leaving a few direct men to preserve the family's bloodline inheritance. This is a point that wealthy families are very persistent in.

Of course people who are not wealthy people are also persistent, but life is difficult for them, so what can they do if they are persistent. Survival of the fittest is actually being played out. The blood of those who are incompetent will not last long...

In fact, the wealthy people did not expect to fail, because Wang Yan's usual style was to take the family's book boy with him, and there was rarely a grand occasion. Even if there is a pomp, those officials are definitely useless, and one will definitely run faster than the other.

And they sent more than twenty people to seize the opportunity. There is no one in the world who cannot be killed. Even if a capable general comes, he will definitely be hacked to death. So what they were thinking more about was the aftermath after Wang Yan was killed.

As long as Wang Yan is dead, they will definitely be able to suppress this matter. Wang Yan was killed because he "oppressed the people, was unpopular with the people, and was unpopular with the people." Even if someone from the capital came to inspect, the result would be the same. The arrangements are clear.

Moreover, there is not much time left for them. Everyone knows Wang Yan’s purpose of arresting the ten large households. When Wang Yan takes care of the ten large households, the fourth official-business negotiation will definitely be held. At that time, there is no need to Wang Yan asked who was in favor and who was against, and they would all agree. Anyone who disagreed would have his family destroyed.

Once agreed, the matter is completely settled. As long as a cleaning fee is collected, no official from the local government to the capital will let it go, because this is the bottom line that has been passed, and the money has been obtained, so it has become a rule in Hangzhou. Without major changes, it is difficult to cancel. We can only rely on the collusion of the big households to reduce the cleaning fees they should pay little by little.

Therefore, their plans were not very rigorous, their escape routes were not arranged, and they did not even think much about failure.

But unfortunately, the one they wanted to kill was Wang Yan. Now that Wang Yan has not been hacked to death, it will be their turn to die...

It wasn't until arrangements were made that Wang Yan followed Fan Zhongyan back to the official residence.

"Is it okay?"

"Thanks to Mr. Fan, he was unscathed. Mr. Fan, look, there is no trace of blood on the student's clothes." Fan Zhongyan really asked Wang Yan to turn around and looked at it carefully before he felt relieved. He sighed: "How bold these people are."

"Haven't we already thought about today? After all, it is the students who are causing trouble now. As long as the students are solved, everything will be fine."

"I'm still here."

"Fan Gong has lost his power and is no longer the same as before. Since they have done this, they will have ways to arrange for Fan Gong."

"Yes, at worst, we will kill you together with me, and everything will be fine." Fan Zhongyan shook his head and said, "How do you plan to do that? Are you afraid?"

"Students don't know how to write the word "fear" yet." Wang Yan said with a smile, "If it weren't for the people from the capital here, today's siege and killing would be a good thing. Anyone who dares to disobey will ask the killer to identify who bought the murderer. This The cleaning fee can be collected at the same time, and it can also be done together with clearing the land and checking the household registration. "

"now what?"

"I used my power to force them to agree. However, the regulations, especially regarding how to deal with past tax evasion, still need to be decided by Mr. Fan."

"You..." Fan Zhongyan pointed at Wang Yan, but still spoke about his thoughts.

Ever since he knew what Wang Yan wanted to do, Fan Zhongyan had thought about these issues carefully and already had an idea. Of course, he also said it for Wang Yan's reference. He now believes in Wang Yan very much, because everything in the past has proved Wang Yan's calmness, sophistication, and wisdom. Now that he had let go, he didn't plan to interfere too much and just let Wang Yan toss around...

Knowing that Dongliang returned home covered in blood, and hearing that Wang Yan was surrounded by more than 20 people, Hualan was very worried, and kept restless, walking around the house. It wasn't until the little maid guarding the door came back to tell her that Wang Yan was back, that she took a deep breath and ran out quickly.

"Official, official, you are back."

Seeing Wang Yan come in, Hua Lan anxiously circled around Wang Yan, looking here and there, fearing that something was wrong.

Wang Yan opened his arms in cooperation and stood on the spot: "You think I'm in trouble?"

"I went back to the house and took off my clothes. The whole body was covered in blood, and I was stabbed twice. I saw the long incisions. You were surrounded and killed by more than twenty people. You must have lied to me..."

Wang Yan shook his head in amusement, but still cooperated with Hua Lan, returned to the room, took off his clothes, and asked Hua Lan to read it again before he was done.

"The officials are really powerful."

"That's right. I told my father-in-law last year that if my government hadn't valued civil society over military affairs, my husband would have surrendered to the army long ago, and the Liao and Xia would definitely fight."

"Isn't it the same when an official becomes a civil servant?" Hua Lan said worriedly, "Official, I think the cleaning fee should be forgotten. Commercial taxes belong to the court and the emperor, not to our Wang family, but life is My own."

This is really a simple and good idea, and the so-called elites a thousand years later also thought so.

"Have you forgotten what I said last year? For the sake of heaven and earth... Now everyone says that I have established the doctrine. I am not humble enough to create my own doctrine and clarify my own opinions. At this point, where is the way out? Human life With a face, I can’t do it even if I don’t want to do it now. Besides, I still have some ambition.

As the saying goes, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If I am afraid this time, I will be afraid for the rest of my life. Even if it is difficult to stand up straight again. So I have to hold on to this and fight them to the end. The situation in Hangzhou is tense now, so don’t worry about me, but you should be more careful. "

"I'm not going out. I'm staying at home." Hua Lan said firmly. Since he couldn't be persuaded, he would never cause trouble to Wang Yan or let Wang Yan be burdened.

"That's fine, we'll see the difference in the next few months. We usually ask the Fan family's sister-in-law to come to the house to talk and relieve boredom. Okay, let's eat, I'm already hungry."

Soon, while the people outside were still hungry, a variety of exquisite dishes were placed on the dining table at Wang Yan's house. Wang Yan, who had an additional activity that was cut off today, was indeed hungry. Eating food and drinking wine, very comfortable.

Seeing Hua Lan diligently picking up food for him and looking like he was hesitating to speak, he smiled and said, "Speak whatever you want, no matter how hesitant or hesitant."

Hua Lan stopped what he was doing, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I wonder if I can give Guanren another concubine... It's not that I'm in a hurry, I just think that Guanren is doing well now. It's a big deal, and it's very dangerous. Besides, it's not good to have a small family now. How can I expand my family and make it more lively?"

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Do you really think so?"

"If that's not the case, why bother mentioning it?" Hua Lan glared and sighed, "Officials will definitely go to higher places in the future. I have never heard that there are no concubines to serve in the homes of scholar-bureaucrats. Even if I don't "Zhang Luo, from now on when officials are visiting, it is inevitable that some people will want to marry them, and there will always be some people who cannot refuse."

"I've wronged you."

Wang Yan said this, and he agreed to the matter. In many things, he is out of tune with today's world, but in this matter, he is not exempt from the conventional. Since Hua Lan had already comforted himself, there was no need for him to talk too much, he could just enjoy it.

He asked, "But there is something promising?"

"The eldest daughter of the Sheng family is Sheng Shulan. She is one year older than me and she was originally going to get engaged. However, she was too old to be married to her. It was hard to get along with her, so she didn't like her. Now the officials and the Sheng family are in the same spirit, and we are both prosperous. , everything will be lost, and now the big house relies on the official name to operate, so I want to get closer. "

After hearing what Hualan said, Wang Yan already understood what was going on. It is possible that Hualan took the initiative to arrange for him to add a concubine, but now that he heard about the candidates, he knew that this matter must have been going on for some time, and it was indispensable for the messy exchanges between the first and second rooms of the Sheng family.

Sheng Hong must have been deeply involved in this matter. This is the only good thing about my father-in-law. He only serves the family's personal agenda. There is no doubt that closely contacting Wang Yan and coaxing his precious son-in-law are the top priority of the Sheng family now. The eldest daughter of the eldest and second eldest family members gave Wang Yan a lot of face.

As for women's happiness, not many men care about it these days. Everyone is like that, and their lives are the same.

Sheng Shulan was married to Sun Xiucai in the original drama. Because she could not have children, she was not welcomed in her husband's family and lived a hard life. Later, she and Li stayed at home. Of course she is good-looking, has a good personality, and is a decent and good wife.

Wang Yan nodded: "Let me make the arrangements."

Hua Lan hummed and started eating in silence.

Even if you have already solved yourself, you will inevitably feel a little aggrieved when you reach this point.

Of course Wang Yan was coaxing her with nice words, but it was not good for the woman to be wronged and have her heart broken...
