Chapter 47: The Fall of the Wang Family
Not long after the Wang family members were taken away, Captain Yu brought the yamen runners and the coroner to the Wang family again.
At this time, the Wang family's yard was surrounded by villagers who came to eat melons.
Captain Yu and his companions had a clear goal and headed straight for the abandoned cellar of the Wang family.
Half an hour later, the constables who went down to the cellar dug out three corpses that had turned to bones.
Hundreds of taels of silver and nearly a hundred valuable gold, silver and jade articles were seized from Wang Lizheng's house.
Captain Yu and his team took the bones and the seized property back to the yamen.
The onlookers were all shocked and began to speculate about the identities of the three skeletons.
It was three days later that news of the Wang family reached Changhe Village again.
The three skeletons dug out from the Wang family's cellar that day were exactly the three people, a master and a servant of Lu, a merchant from outside the area who had disappeared in Taihe County seven years ago.
Seven years ago, a merchant named Lu from Shengzhou passed through Taihe County with two servants, carrying a batch of gold, silver and jade articles, and was preparing to enter Ganzhou to do business.
When the group arrived in Taihe County, they learned that the land route to Ganzhou was infested with bandits recently, so the master and his two servants decided to take the waterway instead.
However, when we arrived in Taihe County, it rained heavily for several days. The water level rose and we could not sail. We had to stay in Taihe County for several days.
Merchant Lu felt bored staying in the inn, so he simply took his two servants to Datong Township to experience the customs of the surrounding towns.
In this way, Lu Shangjia was targeted by Wang Lizheng, who came to Datong Township to purchase and sell goods.
After Wang Decai became the head of Changhe Village, he followed the rules and did his job honestly in the first year.
In the second year, the desire began to grow.
Although he took advantage of his position as the head of the village to gain some benefits for the Wang family.
But that little bit of profit could no longer satisfy his desire for money.
When Wang Li saw the merchant Lu and his servants, he was surprised to see that they were wearing fine fabrics, spending generously, and speaking with an accent from another place.
He began to covet it.
When mainland merchants were harassed by unscrupulous vendors, he immediately stepped forward.
After successfully approaching the merchant Lu, he learned that he was planning to go to Shengzhou to do business, and he became greedy.
Lu Shangjia is a generous person and loves to make friends.
As it was his first time to go out for training, he had no guard against Yiyi’s Wang Lizheng.
Wang Lizheng cordially invited him to his home, and Lu Shangjia happily went there with his servants driving a carriage.
That night became the last dinner for Lu Shangjia and his two servants.
After Lu Shangjia and his servant entered the Wang family, Wang Decai secretly asked Wang Laoer and his wife to add poison into the wine.
After Wang Lizheng poisoned Lu Shangjia and his two servants to death, he found a large amount of valuables in the packages of Lu Shangjia and others.
After Wang Lizheng poisoned the man to death, he buried the body in his own cellar.
In order to conceal his tracks, Wang Lizheng chose the time when there were the most people at the village entrance the next day, and personally drove Lu Shangjia's carriage to pretend to send him away.
The villagers who witnessed it personally still have vivid impressions when they recall it.
When Merchant Lu's carriage passed the village entrance that day, the curtains were drawn.
The villagers present could not see the people in the carriage.
However, the villagers who were present at the time all smelled a strong smell of alcohol emanating from the carriage.
The villagers were so impressed that the carriage was moving very slowly when it passed the village.
There were a few vomiting sounds from the people in the car, and then a few empty wine jars rolled out.
When Lu Shangjia's carriage entered the village, many people saw it.
Now they saw with their own eyes that Wang Lizheng sent the people out, and they all thought that the people in the carriage were the drunken Lu merchant and his servant.
Who would have thought that this was just a trick played by Wang Lizheng.
The only people sitting in the carriage were Wang Laoer and his son.
After killing the man, Wang Lizheng secretly sold Lu Shangjia's horse and carriage to a peddler in the neighboring village.
He never dared to touch those gold, silver and jade artifacts, and could not find a suitable opportunity to sell them.
He had also thought about leaving Changhe Village and moving away with his family, but he was afraid that it would backfire.
After keeping a low profile for a while, they found that everything was calm and no one from the Lu family came to look for them, so they gradually relaxed their controls.
First, let Wang Laoer and his son go to Taihe County every day.
The villagers felt that the Wang family had other ways of making a living outside.
If the villagers have nothing else to do, they rarely go to Datong Township, let alone Taihe County.
There is no way to verify what Wang Lizheng inadvertently "revealed" that the Wang family was doing some small business with others in Taihe County.
Half a year later, Wang Lizheng's family suddenly became generous.
First, a new house was built next to the original house, and a carpenter was hired to make a batch of new furniture.
Wang Laoer and his son still dress respectably and go out every day.
Although the villagers were envious, they did not dare to have any thoughts about the Wang family.
It was not until now that the villagers understood why Wang Lizheng's family suddenly became so generous.
Wang Lizheng appears to be kind to others on the surface, but who would have thought that he is the mastermind behind all this.
They were all terrified that there was a murderer who had killed several people hiding next to them, and that the murder was committed by a whole family.
Wang Lizheng was executed by slow slicing because he, together with Wang Pozi and Wang Laoer and his wife, murdered Lu Shangjia and his servant. Later, in order to cover up his tracks, he used extraordinary means to kill Wu Changsheng's family of four.
Wang Pozi and Wang Laoer's wife were sentenced to death as accomplices.
As for Chen, the wife of the village head, who had always been unpopular because she gave birth to two daughters and no son.
Before the incident happened, Wang Lizheng found an excuse to send her back to her parents' home.
Even so, Chen was implicated by Wang Lizheng and was exiled after the county magistrate reported the case.
Wang Laoer and his son Zhao Dalai in the case were executed separately because they had already died.
As for several relatives of the Wang family, they were thrown into prison because they were involved in crimes such as abusing their power for personal gain and oppressing the people during Wang Lizheng's tenure.
Some of the Wang family died, and some were sent to prison.
After this incident, the Wang family basically disappeared in Changhe Village.
Ever since Wang Decai became the head of the village, the Wang family has seemed to be benefiting from the success of one person.
Changhe Village is vast and sparsely populated. Apart from a small amount of fertile land, most of the land is uncultivated barren hills and wasteland.
When the previous head of the village was still in office, there was an unwritten rule in the village that the land reclaimed by whichever family belonged to that family.
In the second year after Wang Decai became the village head, he forcibly reclaimed the land that had been reclaimed by the villagers.
After some operations, it was sold to Wang's relatives at a very low price.
The dissatisfied villagers soon faced retaliation from Wang Lizheng.
For example, for various reasons, they withheld the grain seeds sent by their superiors and distributed them to the villagers' worst fields.
The villagers depend on the harvest from the fields at the beginning of the year. What Wang Lizheng did is no different from taking someone's life.
After being beaten, the villagers realized that they could not defeat the opponent and could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
As time went by, no one went to reclaim wasteland in Changhe Village anymore.
Over the years, the villagers' lives have become increasingly difficult, which is inseparable from Wang Lizheng.
The villagers all applauded the fate of Wang Lizheng's family.
