From a freeloader to a world leader

After returning home, Wang Dashui smashed the furnishings in the study.

"You son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you! If I don't, I won't live any longer!"

The two maids who were guarding outside the study heard a loud noise and a burst of angry cursing inside the study.

One of them was smart. He winked at another and then rushed to the old man's courtyard.

She knew that if she let the situation continue, not only would everything inside be smashed, but her two maids guarding outside would probably receive more than just a beating.

They will be stripped of their clothes and bullied by this old man. Even worse, they may lose their lives.

After all, there is no such thing as human rights in this society.

In theory, according to the old rules passed down by Emperor Gaozong of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, yamen runners like the Wang family were not allowed to have servants to serve them.

But with the changes in society, how could the Wang family, a family of yamen runners with huge wealth, take it seriously?

Either they did it secretly or found other ways to buy a large number of servants to serve them.

Otherwise, all the money spent would be in vain.

Should I pile them up and keep them at home to count for fun?

Besides, counting money is not as fun as counting women.

This world is just like ancient Chinese society: once you sell your body, you become the property of your master, and your life and death are at the discretion of your master.

Even their children, like the young of livestock, automatically became the wealth of the master's family.

When the old man of the Wang family and Wang Dashan arrived at the study where Wang Dashui was, Wang Dashui was dragging his little maid and was about to go into the study to vent his anger.

"Second!"

Wang Ziping stared with his old eyes at the man who had lost his mind, pinching the maid's neck, stripping her clothes, and thrusting his lower body forward. His beard, which had turned white with anger, trembled violently.

In fact, there was no need for the servants to report it. Xie Meiyu, who went to watch a play today, reported the matter as soon as she got home.

He was afraid that his second son would kill the two maids again when he lost his mind.

The death of a maid is no big deal. At worst, I can just buy two more.

Anyway, now that the empire is in decline, with refugees and bandits everywhere, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old would generally only cost about ten or twenty taels of silver.

But now is a critical moment. If Sun Shan catches us, we will suffer another huge loss.

If the master of the Sui Empire killed a servant for no reason or accidentally, he only had to pay the country a population fee.

But after all, the Wang family is not a wealthy family with a good reputation and does not have all the qualifications.

Normally, everyone just turns a blind eye and lets it go.

But ever since they came into conflict with that kid Sun Shan, the Wang family has never had a happy life.

First, the eldest brother was punched, and he turned pale and kept coughing.

Then, the girl Wang Lingzhi, together with her mother, took the opportunity to seize Wenzhai Pavilion.

Now, the second brother has been hurt again, and I heard that he has to pay a lot of money.

By now, everyone in Hengzhou Prefecture knew that the Wang family was no longer in good shape.

"Dad, leave me alone!"

When Wang Dashui saw the two men barging in, he turned around with red eyes and yelled, "I'm going to kill that bastard. Either he or I, or I or he!"

"You try, but you didn't succeed, did you?"

When Wang Ziping saw that Wang Dashui had arrived, he still did not stop what he was doing. He roared and pinched the maid's neck hard.

He could not help but pick up his cane and spank his son's half-exposed buttocks: "Get up, can you solve the problem like this? Can you kill that little bastard?"

Wang Dashui screamed.

This time, he sobered up a little after being beaten by his father, and stopped the movements of his hands and waist.

"Get up! I'll wait for you in the main room!"

After saying this, Wang Ziping angrily took his eldest son, who had been watching coldly, out of the second son’s study.

About five or six minutes later, after Wang Ziping drank a cup of tea, Wang Dashui, who had changed into clean clothes, came to the main room.

Seeing that only his father and elder brother were in the main room, he felt a little more at ease.

"Dad, big brother----"

"Sit down and talk." Wang Ziping saw that his son's face had calmed down a lot, no longer as ferocious as before, and felt relieved: "Tell me, what's going on? Hasn't everything been arranged?"

"It's all Li Dan's fault. He was so stupid that he got involved with that bastard and even cursed his mother-----"

"Stupid----"

Wang Ziping heard this and tapped his cane several times. It was unclear who he was calling an idiot: "You are so simple-minded. You knew that the boy was like a fox, but you fell into his trap."

These words made Wang Dashan, who was standing aside and already knew the whole thing clearly, laugh secretly in his heart.

Last time I messed up like that, you said I was stupid.

This time you planned everything carefully and took precautions, yet it still turned out like this.

Isn't that even more stupid than a pig?

"Who knew this guy was so slippery, taking advantage of the slightest loophole to kill him."

As Wang Dashui spoke, he twitched when he thought of how Li Dan was beaten like a bun by Sun Shan, with several of his teeth falling out, and how he bowed his head to apologize in the end.

"You don't know. You don't know what happened to your brother last time. You were all on guard, and yet-----"

As he spoke, Wang Ziping wanted to curse.

But his mother was an old woman who was dead in her twenties or thirty, and he didn't want to disturb the dead woman.

I couldn't help but hold my breath and asked, "What happened next?"

"later-----",

Wang Dashui raised his head and glanced at his father and elder brother. His face was bitter for a moment, and he muttered, "I gave him 1000 taels of silver."

"1000 taels!"

Wang Ziping jumped up and pointed at his son tremblingly. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Although 1000 taels of silver is not a large sum, it is equivalent to the Wang family's monthly income.

But this is not just about money, there must be something else involved.

However, compared to how Sun Shan beat that idiot Li Dan so hard that he couldn't face anyone, the Wang family at least didn't look too embarrassed on the surface.

"Besides-----"

After thinking about it, Wang Ziping suddenly sat down, staring at his second son with grim eyes.

"By the way, by the way—"

Wang Dashui groaned twice, gritted his teeth, and said, "Besides, I promised him that the Wang family will not bother him anymore."

"oh-----"

Wang Ziping said, "Oh!" It turned out to be true.

This means that the Wang family can no longer openly launch any attack on Sun Shan or the Zhang family's restaurant.

Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death.

However, the current situation is no different from a fight to the death.

In the hall which was big enough to seat forty or fifty people, the Wang family's father and his two sons were sitting motionless.

After a long while, Wang Dashan, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Father, what should we do now?"

"how?"

Wang Ziping's voice was like a mouthful of thick phlegm, blocking his throat. He asked back in a hoarse and weak voice.

Then, a pair of cloudy old eyes became sharp: "What should we do? If we leave it like this, will your words still count in the future when you two brothers are in Hengzhou Prefecture?"

Then he asked back: "Now this kid is still a scholar, just think about it, if he passes the exam and becomes a juren-----"

Having said that, Wang Ziping did not continue.

Wang Dashan coughed a few more times in a hurry, until Wang Dashui kindly brought the teacup to his elder brother and he drank the half-warm tea, then he came to his senses.

His behavior made Wang Ziping, who was experienced in worldly affairs, feel a little uneasy.

My son is usually quite strong, so why hasn’t he recovered since he was punched by Sun Shan that day?

This makes me wonder, is there something wrong?

However, the doctor said that it was nothing, it was just that the heart qi was too strong and it hurt the liver fire.

Besides, he is just a scholar and he doesn't think he has that ability.

When his son calmed down, he asked again, "Da Lang, what do you think?"

"Father, I've made up my mind. Let's just end it-----"

As he spoke, Wang Dashan gestured under his neck.

"Row."

Wang Ziping was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "This is the only way. You should quickly make an agreement with Lao Huling and ask Gao Lao Hu to keep a close eye on him for us these days."

"No problem, I've arranged it. I originally thought that if the second one succeeded, it would be fine, but this time, I can't do it without doing it."
