Chapter 586 The Birth of the Divine Tortoise
Seeing that Wang Wenzhou was about to leave the city, Sheng Liang quickly said, "Brother, I didn't rest well last night, so I won't go over. I'll find a place to sleep for a while."
Wang Wenzhou laughed and scolded, "Get lost! I know you little brat, you're probably off sleeping with girls again. Go on, go on."
"Hehe!" Sheng Liang laughed and ran off.
An hour later, Wang Wenzhou and his party arrived at Yinfeng Village.
Niu Dalei, dressed in official robes, was seen holding a sign in protest on the Dangtu County side. The sign read, "Strongly protest Wang Wenzhou's banditry!"
Because Niu Dalei was the magistrate of Dangtu County, although the people of Hanshan had driven away the people of Dangtu County, they dared not hit Niu Dalei. However, they still threw things at Niu Dalei, and he looked very miserable. Excrement, urine, vegetable leaves, and anything that wouldn't kill him were thrown at him by the people of Hanshan.
Niu Dalei, however, remained steadfast, holding up his sign without moving, shouting from time to time, "Protest! Strong protest! Solemn protest! Protest again!"
"Pfft!" Wang Wenzhou burst out laughing, cursing, "This idiot, he's really stupid! If protesting is useful, what's the point of having an army? They say you raise an army for a thousand days to use it for one. If you just protest and don't send out troops, what's the point of spending so much money to maintain an army?"
"Sigh..." Empress Zhou sighed. She felt some sympathy for Niu Dalei. Looking at Niu Dalei now, she could see that he also had the integrity of a scholar.
Empress Zhou couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she walked up to Niu Dalei, took out a handkerchief, and tried to wipe the dirt off his face.
Niu Dalei immediately cursed, "Get out! You little hussy from the brothel, I don't need your pity!"
Empress Zhou was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. It was truly a case of biting the hand that feeds you! I was just trying to help you wipe your face, and you called me a little bitch?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming's face turned pale! "Niu Dalei, you fucking court death! Don't drag me into this! How dare you insult the Empress?"
Jiang Ming stepped forward and started punching and kicking Niu Dalei.
Niu Dalei was stunned by the beating. He got up and questioned, "Lord Jiang, I never expected that you were also a sycophantic scoundrel!"
"Slap!" Jiang Ming slapped Niu Dalei across the face, cursing, "Niu Dalei, as the magistrate of Dangtu County, you incite the people to rebel. Do you deserve the salary from the court and the trust of the emperor?"
"Hmph!" Niu Dalei snorted coldly and said righteously, "Wang Wenzhou rebelled and his army invaded. Where would my county of Dangtu have the military strength to fight back? I can only mobilize my fellow villagers to defend our homes and country. What's wrong with that?"
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed, putting one arm around Empress Zhou and the other around Li Mei, and walked over, saying, "Niu Dalei, you still think you're right? Come, come, let me tell you where you went wrong!"
Niu Dalei said disdainfully, "I'd like to hear where I went wrong?"
Wang Wenzhou spoke up, "War between two countries is a matter for the military! Don't be so shameless as to mobilize the people to defend their homes and country at the drop of a hat! The people can defend their homes, but why should they defend the country? If the people are to defend the country, then what is the point of having an army? If all the soldiers of a country die, can that country still exist? If the country is destroyed, why should the people be sent to their deaths?"
Niu Dalei cursed and swore, "You...you mad dog, talking nonsense!"
"Bang!" Wang Wenzhou kicked Niu Dalei hard and said to Jiang Ming, "You're in charge of dealing with this idiot Jiang Ming."
"Yes!" Jiang Ming hurriedly said, "Men, arrest Niu Dalei and escort him to the capital for questioning!"
"Yes!" Several constables rushed forward and grabbed Niu Dalei.
Niu Dalei struggled and shouted, "Jiang Ming, you despicable man, you sycophant, you have no respect for the law! I will definitely impeach you!"
"Idiot!" Jiang Ming glared disdainfully at Niu Dalei. "A dying man like you, I can't be bothered with you! Do you even know who that girl Wang Wenzhou is holding is? That's the current Empress! You idiot, calling her a little bitch! If you don't die, who will?"
Niu Dalei, who was cursing and swearing, was quickly taken away by the yamen runners.
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and instructed, "Li Hechen, go and inform the people of Hanshan who run shops in Dangtu County, and have them identify the rioters. Better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free! Arrest them all and send them to labor camps for labor reform! Also, confiscate their homes to compensate the people of Hanshan for their losses!"
"Yes!" Li Hechen accepted the order and left.
Li Decheng was about to offer some advice when he hesitated and swallowed his words. He had come to a realization: the Emperor had sent the Empress to cause trouble for Wang Wenzhou, this mad dog, in order to appease him. He could no longer go against Wang Wenzhou; otherwise, he would be letting down the Emperor's good intentions.
……
The Tower of No Return, the Imperial Suite.
Little racing prodigy Sheng Liang lay in bed, with two girls beside him. Wang Wenzhou recognized the two girls at a glance: his baby Li Xiangjun and his baby Dong Xiaowan.
If Wang Wenzhou knew that he was being cuckolded, and that this hat was a gift from his beloved younger brother Sheng Liang, he would be so angry he would vomit blood.
Although it is said that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, since ancient times, there has always been a little bit of impure ambiguity between a sister-in-law and her younger brother-in-law, or between a brother-in-law and his sister-in-law.
In ancient times, it was not uncommon for two brothers to share a wife, or for sisters to share a husband, especially among poor families.
It's not entirely fair to blame Sheng Liang for being with his two sisters-in-law. Like Wang Wenzhou, the "Little Car God" was a womanizer. He had no other hobbies; sleeping with women was his greatest passion.
Moreover, the young racer was at the prime of his life, and when his two sisters-in-law tried to seduce him that day, he didn't say much.
The reason why Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan seduced Sheng Liang was not to cuckold Wang Wenzhou, but to control Sheng Liang.
In Hanshan, the "Little Car God" is known as Master Liang. Apart from Wang Wenzhou and his babies, no one dares to mess with Master Liang. Although Sheng Liang doesn't hold an official position, he is the only person besides Wang Wenzhou and his babies who can mobilize the Hanshan garrison.
Although Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan were also Wang Wenzhou's daughters, they were constantly suppressed by Liu Rushi. These two secret agents of the Eastern Depot could not develop any influence in Hanshan. Even the maids and servants around them were sent by Liu Rushi.
The two spies realized that things couldn't continue like this, so one dark and windy night, they sneaked into Sheng Liang's room. From that day on, Sheng Liang fell in love with his two sisters-in-law.
Li Xiangjun wiped the sweat from Sheng Liang's forehead and said softly, "Xiao Liang, when can we sisters marry you?"
Dong Xiaowan said sweetly, "Yes, Xiaoliang, we sisters dream of marrying you!"
"Pfft..." Sheng Liang spat out a mouthful of wine, and said with a wry smile, "Sisters-in-law, don't be silly! I can ask my older brother or my aunt for anything else, and they'll agree. But this time, forget about asking them. If they knew, they'd skin me alive!"
Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan exchanged a glance and nodded tacitly, leaving it at that. Every now and then, they would whisper a few ambiguous words in Sheng Liang's ear, implying that the silly boy would eventually have second thoughts about Wang Wenzhou.
