Elder Cen's status in the minds of students in Yongxiu County is like the status of academicians in modern society in the minds of college students, and it may be even more serious. After all, universities are about to become popular in modern society. In this era, there are only a few who can study. Tong Shenglang like Zhu Wenhua and Wang Zhisong are all admired and envied scholars. Because of this, when Cen Laoyi appeared, he had to fight with Wang Shijing's domineering Guo family, and immediately flinched a lot.
After Zhu Wenhua saluted, he immediately said to Mr. Cen: "Dean Cen, student Zhu Wenhua, is Tong Shenglang from the 11th year of Kangsheng, and Ishii's second uncle."
Zhu Wencai also immediately saluted: "Dean Cen, I, Zhu Wencai, is Ishii's uncle."
Wang Shijing didn't call them "uncle", Zhu Wencai and Zhu Wenhua were both a little embarrassed and unable to step down. Elder Cen only nodded slightly to the two of them, but when he didn't respond, they were even more embarrassed, especially Zhu Wenhua.
Dean Cen first introduced: "This is Dean Kang of 'White Moon Academy', and also a student of this old man."
When everyone heard it, they saluted and saluted respectfully.
Kang Rui glanced at Guo Dexiu and others who were lying on the ground, and asked Wang Shijing, "Shijing, what happened? Who are these people?"
Wang Shijing said coldly: "They are the natal family of Wang Tianyan's daughter-in-law, Guo Zhaodi. They think I caused Guo Zhaodi to go to jail."
Father Guo boldly shouted: "Dean Cen, Dean Kang, my daughter is wronged!"
Guo's mother also cried, "My daughter was imprisoned by the Wang family. They sent my daughter to jail and abused my grandson."
Kang Rui's expression became serious, and Mr. Cen looked at Guo's father and Guo's mother: "You said that your daughter was imprisoned by the Wang family, and it was Ishii who made her go to jail. But as far as I know, Wang Guo and her husband Wang Tianyan wanted to take her away. Ishii's family wealth, together with his mother-in-law, forced Ishii to hand over the family wealth, ignoring the separation agreement written by both parties. According to the law of our dynasty, the county magistrate sentenced Wang Guo and his husband to prison for one year. Ishii and Yun An interceded for the two of them, and the county magistrate commuted the two of them to prison for five months, and the old man was there at the time. Father Guo, the old man asked you, do you know that your daughter refused to recognize the contract and forcibly robbed the uncle's property?"
Father Guo was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Elder Cen, he hesitated: "I, I don't know. All I know is that my daughter was forced to go to jail by their family."
Old Cen raised his voice, "Is Lizheng here?"
"Old Cen."
Uncle Lizheng stepped forward immediately. Old Cen said, "Please also ask Lizheng to bring out the contract signed between Shijing and our family."
"yes."
"I go."
Zhao Yuanqing ran away.
Elder Cen asked again: "Is the head of the Ishii family here?"
Someone shouted: "Dali is at home, I'll call him!"
Wang Xing and Sun Dajiang ran away. Elder Cen then said to Father Guo: "If you are not satisfied with the punishment of the county magistrate, you can go to the state government to sue. The old man would like to ask the villagers of Xiushui Village who were present, did Wang Guochang and his mother-in-law force Shi Jing and his wife Yun? Ann hand over the family wealth?"
No sooner had Mr. Cen finished his words than one answer after another appeared: "Yes!"
"Guo Zhaodi said that all the money from Ishii's family should be handed over to the mountain, and he went to the royal patriarch's house with Mrs. Wang to make trouble, and asked the patriarch to force Ishii to hand over the money and stones!"
Everyone said something to me, so that Guo's father and Guo's mother couldn't lift their heads. Mother Guo wanted to quibble, but the person in front of her was Mrs. Cen. Even if she was more shrewd than Mrs. Wang, she would not dare to act rascally in front of Mrs. Cen, who was well-known and the head of the county school.
After the villagers testified, Mr. Cen pressed his hand to keep everyone quiet. He continued, "Father Guo, if you don't know the law of my court, I can tell you. I have an order for the law of court, and those who violate the contract , sentenced to prison for one to three years. The county magistrate sentenced Wang Guo for one year, and because of Ishii's pleading, he was only sentenced for five months. ordered to punish?”
Father Guo's body suddenly became weak: "I, I..."
"Your daughter was imprisoned, and the Wang family lied to you. You should be looking for the person who lied to you and made your daughter imprisoned. What does it have to do with the Ishii family?"
Mrs. Wang ducked back.
"Ishii is a man of military exploits. You, the Guo clan, want to beat Shijing regardless of whether it is indiscriminate. According to the law of my court, you will be punished with a stick. The magistrate is here. Should we invite the magistrate out?"
"Old Cen, spare me! The grassroots don't dare, the grassroots don't dare!" Father Guo was so frightened that he almost pissed off, knelt down and begged for mercy.
Mr. Cen ignored Father Guo, and looked at Zhu Wenhua: "You are Ishii's uncle, and you are from Tong Shenglang. Then you know the injustice Ishii received at home, and you know that your sister Wang Zhu forced Ishii, who was already in corvee, to replace him again. Did Wang Tianyan violate the law when he expelled into the army? And do you know that your sister Wang Zhu’s disobedience to the contract also violated the law by forcibly robbing the property of the son of the separated family?”
Zhu Wenhua's face turned red immediately: "Student, student, student didn't know that sister-in-law separated from Ishii, and she didn't know that she forced Ishii's family wealth. As for her forcing Ishii to serve in the army, when the student knew, Ishii had already been taken away, and the student also refused. I told her sister about this. It’s just that she’s married and the students are far away, so it’s really inconvenient to control her.”
Elder Cen said, "You are Tong Shenglang. You know that Wang Zhu has violated the law, but you shelter her. Ishii has been separated from my family for a long time, but you, as an uncle, don't know about it. Today you want to see Ishii again. What's the matter?"
Zhu Wenhua was speechless. He originally wanted to find Wang Shijing to educate him. Anyway, my younger sister is also his own mother, how can I deny my own mother and be disciplined by a male wife like this. Now how dare he say the purpose of meeting Wang Shijing. Wang Shijing has lived for more than 20 years, and he can't count the number of times he has met with his two uncles and relatives of his maternal grandfather's family. Zhu Wencai and Zhu Wenhua have no affection for Wang Shijing.
Wang Shijing stood beside Mr. Cen and said nothing, his one-eyed eyes were completely indifferent to his so-called relatives. Zhu Wencai choked out a sentence: "How can I say that we are also Ishii's relatives, and my sister is also Ishii's mother-in-law, Ishii..."
Kang Rui interrupted him: "Since he is a relative of Shijing, do you know his birthday, when did he marry, and how old are his sons and daughters this year? They are relatives of Shijing, and the year is almost over, why don't you see Shijing go?" Happy New Year to you two uncles? Haven’t you seen someone from your uncle’s house come to the door?”
Zhu Wencai's face was as red as Zhu Wenhua's. He couldn't answer any of Kang Rui's questions. There was a burst of laughter around, and Fourth Aunt Wang said loudly, "Hey, you have the nerve to say that your sister is Shijing's mother? Let me tell you, her mother would be happy if Ishii was killed. In the past, Ishii was sent to You are desperate, and now you are thinking about Ishii's family wealth all day long, don't you think?"
"that is!"
"She treats Ishii as an enemy at all!"
"If Ishii hadn't married Yun'an, a powerful daughter-in-law, Ishii would definitely be forced to death!"
"Ishii should have broken up with them a long time ago. Such a mother will die!"
Zhu Wencai and Zhu Wenhua felt ashamed, and Mrs. Wang hid behind her brothers and dared not look up. Kang Rui shook his head and said, "If you don't regard Shijing as relatives and family members, how can you force Shijing to treat you as relatives and family members. If he still has nothing as before, you will still want him as relatives?"
The Zhu family couldn't answer, and Mrs. Wang didn't even dare to answer. But someone answered for them: "If I'm still the same as before, they wish they didn't have a family member like me, and a son like me!"
At this time, Zhao Yuanqing came back, and Wang Dali was dragged here by Wang Xing and Sun Dajiang. Zhao Yuanqing ran to Elder Cen and handed out the deed with both hands: "Dean Cen, here is the deed."
Elder Cen didn't answer, but said: "I would like to ask this little brother to read out the content of this contract so that everyone can listen to it."
Zhao Yuanqing's face turned red, and Mr. Cen called him "little brother"!
"Let me do it." Zhao Yuande reached out to take the deed from his younger brother and opened it. He looked at Wang Shijing, Wang Shijing nodded slightly, and Zhao Yuande read out.
——Today, Wang Wenhe of the village wrote the deed of separation between Wang Shijing and the family, his mother Wang Zhu, his father Wang Dali, his younger brothers Wang Tianyan and Wang Zhisong...
The inside story of Wang Shijing's separation from his family is known to the villagers, but the specific content of the separation is not very clear to everyone. None of the people present at the time were particularly vicious to pass on. Now, in front of all the villagers, Zhao Yuande read out every word of the deed between Wang Shijing and his family, which meant that both Zhu Wencai and Zhu Wenhua wanted to dig a hole to bury themselves. According to the deed, Wang Shijing returned all the few stones of rice he got from the family when he was separated from the previous time. He really went out of the house without taking anything away. It was clearly written in the deed that from now on, my family and Wang Shijing will be completely severed, and there will be no relationship between the two parties. Really black and white, clearly. Zhu Wencai and Zhu Wenhua wanted to slap their younger sister (sister), what kind of evil did they do!
There were sighs all around, this old lady Wang is really too cruel! Isn't this forcing his own son to death! If Shi Jing hadn't married such a powerful daughter-in-law as Yun An, Shi Jing would have suffered too much.
Wang Dali, who was forcibly dragged here, kept his head down from the beginning to the end and remained silent. After the deed was finished, Elder Cen asked, "Wang Dali, Wang Zhushi, do you agree with what is written in this deed?"
Wang Dali nodded dully. Granny Wang gritted her teeth and shouted behind her brother: "I can't read, I don't know! It was written by the patriarch! I don't know anything!"
Wang Wenhe almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Zhu Wencai and Zhu Wenhua turned sideways and dragged out the younger sister (sister) who was hiding behind them and refused to recognize her. Granny Wang shouted while struggling, "I don't know! I can't read, how can I know what the patriarch wrote?" !"
Elder Cen grabbed Wang Shijing, who was so angry that the veins on the back of his hand were popping out, and Kang Rui asked calmly, "You said you couldn't read, but you pressed the fingerprints on it?"
"They forced me to press it!"
"Do you still want to be tested?" Fourth Aunt Wang couldn't help but scolded first, and other villagers who couldn't see it also pointed at Mrs. Wang and scolded her. Mrs. Wang is completely desperate, she is not stupid, she knows very well that if she accepts this contract in front of these two powerful people today, then she will never try to control this son again, and this son's million-dollar family wealth It's never about her either. Even if she gets another 30 slaps, she will never admit it.
Elder Cen was also very angry. Kang Rui took a step forward and said coldly, "You said you were forced. Then let me ask you. Can you return all the family property that Ishii received when the family was separated for the first time?"
"I have no idea!"
"You still want to deny it in front of Dean Cen!" Zhu Wencai raised his hand and slapped Mrs. Wang hard. Mrs. Wang covered her face, sat down on the ground, showed her housekeeping skills, and howled.
Kang Rui didn't ask Mrs. Wang anymore, he looked at Wang Dali who bowed his head and said nothing, "Wang Dali, your wife doesn't recognize her, so let me ask you, do you also deny her?"
Wang Dali was silent, and Mrs. Wang yelled: "How dare you admit it! If you dare to admit it today, I will run into you and die in front of you!"
"Wang Zhu, you are too shameless!"
"When Lizheng was writing the deed, you didn't even admit it. How could you be so shameless!"
Li Zheng was so angry that his face flushed: "I was not the only one present at that time, you can't blame me even if you want!"
"I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it! You forced me!" Mrs. Wang sat on the ground kicking her legs and shaking her head, determined to hold on to the end.
The surrounding villagers all wanted to slap Mrs. Wang across the face.
Kang Rui said sharply: "Wang Dali, let me ask you! Do you recognize it or not!"
Wang Dali slowly raised his head, looked at Kang Rui with cloudy eyes, and then slowly turned to the eldest son with a livid face and wearing a black eyepatch. After a long time, he nodded slowly: "I, yes."
"ah!"
Mrs. Wang got up and was about to beat Wang Dali, but was caught by Zhu Wencai and Zhu Wenhua. Zhu Wenhua winked at the Zhu clan around him, and several young men came over to suppress Mrs. Wang.
"Fuck you! When will it be your turn to decide the family!"
Wang Dali ignored his mother-in-law's madness, looked at Wang Shijing and said, "I accept this contract."
Mrs. Wang: "I don't recognize it!"
Wang Dali: "He has returned all the property he has distributed. The patriarch and Li Zheng are both present."
This Wang Dali is not hopeless. Kang Rui turned to Elder Cen: "Teacher, Wang Dali believes that this contract is true. It is true that Ishii has nothing to do with my family anymore. It's just that Ishii is from my family after all. This is the most difficult part of this matter."
The surroundings became quiet, Mrs. Wang stopped howling, Wang Dali blinked his eyes, and Wang Shijing looked at Kang Rui, wondering what his intention was.
Elder Cen stroked his beard, looked at Wang Dali and said, "Wang Dali, I ask you, may you be the master of your family's affairs?"
"I do woo!"
Mrs. Wang's words were covered by Zhu Wenhua's mouth. Wang Dali blinked again, then nodded slowly: "I can make the decision."
"Wooooow!"
Elder Cen nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you can be the master." He looked at Wang Shijing: "Shijing, whether you still insist on what the contract says has nothing to do with my family."
"yes!"
"Wang Dali, the old man will ask you again, are you willing to abide by what is written in the contract and become strangers to Wang Shijing?"
"… yes."
"woo woo woo woo!"
Old Cen raised his voice: "Wang Dali, Wang Shijing, have you two decided to sever the relationship between father and son from now on?"
Wang Shijing: "Yes!"
Wang Dali: "... yes."
Someone around couldn't help whispering: "Why did Dean Cen really let Shi Jing and Uncle Dali make a decision?"
"Why do you care so much! Don't Ishii and Uncle Dali's family make a decision now?"
Elder Cen ignored the doubts around him, but said: "Ishii, Wang Dali, you father and son have come to this point, and I don't comment on who is right or wrong. But you two are father and son after all. Ishii, no Wang Dali, there is no you. At least, he and Wang Zhushi gave birth to you. You will never forget this kindness."
Wang Shijing was silent. The struggling old lady Wang did not move.
"Ishii, are you willing to take out a sum of money to buy off your father-son relationship and mother-son relationship with Wang Dali and Wang Zhu?"
"willing."
"Woohoo!"
"Wang Dali, would you like to take a sum of money so that Wang Shijing will move out of your family tree and have no relationship with your family?"
"Wooooow!"
Wang Dali looked at Wang Shijing for a long time, the son's face showed no trace of affection for his father, only indifference. Wang Dali said slowly: "No need."
"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"
Wang Shijing said loudly: "I will pay 500 taels, and move out of the family tree."
Wang Wenhe was about to open his mouth in a shock, but was pulled back by his son Wang Shuping forcefully. Wang Wenhe looked at his son in a panic, but Wang Shuping shook his head seriously.
Mrs. Wang stopped struggling, and there were discussions around. Zhu Wenhua asked Mrs. Wang to let go of her mouth, and she immediately shouted: "It's only 500 taels?!"
Wang Shijing: "You don't think it's too little? Then I'll ask Yun An to do the math for you to see how much less it is."
Kang Rui: "Ishii has nothing to do with my family. If you don't like it, it's easy to do, just like before. After all, Ishii's family is the head of Yun'an, and Ishii doesn't have any private property."
Wang Shijing is very honest: "My family's Yun'an is in charge, and I have to discuss with him about the 500 taels. If you think it's too little, then forget it."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she became anxious: "It's only 500 taels! Not a penny less!"
She was worried about how to get money from this son, but she didn't expect to get 500 taels of silver so smoothly. So what if she moved out of the family tree, if she could deny the deed, she could also deny the family tree!
Mr. Cen could tell Mrs. Wang's plan at a glance, and he said, "Bring a pen and paper."
