Chapter 100
Wang Yan took Zhuge Liang and two attendants to the Wang family by carriage. The Wang family is located in the south of the city and covers a vast area. The mansion is carved with beams and painted buildings, and has a magnificent demeanor. It is the number one prominent family in Yangdu County.
On the way to the road, Zhuge Liang said: "Big brother, although the Wang family is arrogant, they are not easy."
Wang Yan asked, "What is the origin?"
Zhuge Liang said: "How much do the eldest brother know about the Langya Wang family?"
Wang Yan did not answer and smiled and said, "Let me tell me?"
Zhuge Liang paused for a moment and spoke without rushing: "The ancestral home of the Wang family of Langya is in Linyi County, and the current clan is also in Linyi. From the root, the Wang family of Langya can be traced back to the three generations of Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Wang Li in the Qin Dynasty. Within the Qin Dynasty, the Wang family can be said to be famous."
"During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Ji, the great-grandson of Wang Li's eldest son Wang Yuan, was promoted to the doctor's counselor. During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, Wang Jun, the son of Wang Ji, was the official position of the Censor. "
"The Wang family, during the Western Han Dynasty, can be said to be full of honor and favor."
"The founding of Emperor Guangwu of this dynasty, Wang Zun, the great-grandson of Wang Ji, was highly valued by Emperor Guangwu. He was appointed as the Taizhong Dafu and was granted the title of Marquis of Xiangyi. Wang Yin, the son of Wang Zun, served as the general officer. Wang Rong, the son of Wang Yin, was appointed as the Nankangyin. Wang Rong was the head of the Wang family of this generation."
"The Wang family's clan is in Linyi County, but it is a giant that is enough to influence the Langya Kingdom. The Yangdu Wang family is a branch of the Linyi Wang family. With the Linyi Wang family backing, few people dare to mess with the Yangdu Wang family."
Zhuge Liang came to explain the situation of the Wang family clearly.
After hearing this, Wang Yan suddenly realized his mind and understood the situation of the Wang family.
Isn’t the Wang family in Langya the clan of the “Sage of Calligraphy” Wang Xizhi? In fact, the Wang family today cannot be said to be truly prosperous. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the influence of the Wang family reached its peak.
During the Yongjia Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, the court was in turmoil, and Hu people were rampant in the north, and major families in the north moved south one after another.
The Wang family of Langya also moved south during this period.
During this period, the Wang family supported Sima Rui and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and entered its peak period of prosperity. If we only mentioned the Wang family in Yangdu County, Wang Yan would not have much impression of it, but Wang Yan, the Wang family in Langya, was very clear.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Liang is so powerful. She is not very old, but she understands it so clearly."
Zhuge Liang was like a proud peacock, holding his head up and said, "That is a must. I am a genius who I can never forget. Even my brother is ashamed of this."
Wang Yan chuckled, reached out and touched Zhuge Liang's head, and said with a smile: "I remember that Wang Rong has two sons. The eldest son is Wang Xiang and the second son is Wang Lan. They are half-brothers, right?"
"Oh, how do you know the big brother? You know them."
Zhuge Liang was surprised, his big eyes blinked. He was young, but extremely smart. Judging from Wang Yan's reaction when he explained the situation of the Wang family just now, Wang Yan didn't know about the Wang family.
But how did Wang Yan know about Wang Xiang and Wang Lan?
Strange!
Zhuge Liang blinked his big eyes, very curious.
Wang Yan raised his right hand and said, "I have the ability to calculate and calculate. Once I count my fingers, I will know."
Zhuge Liang's chubby face showed a hint of hesitation. Then, he said affirmatively: "I don't believe it. The eldest brother must have known them or heard of them."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "You kid, you are really smart."
In fact, the reason why Wang Yan knew about Wang Xiang and Wang Lan was because he was studying in his childhood, so he read the comic strips of "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" and "Twenty-Four Brothers" and learned about the allusions of Wang Xiang and Wang Lan.
These two people, one is "slept on ice and sought carp" and the other is "Wang Lan competes for poison", are both historical celebrities.
Wang Xiang lost his mother in his early years. His stepmother Zhu was tricky and harsh to Wang Xiang. One winter, Zhu wanted to eat carp when he got sick. It was cold and the river surface was frozen and the river surface was frozen at all. Wang Xiang was extremely filial. In order to satisfy Zhu's wish, he lie on the ice barefoot and prayed. Then the ice surface cracked, and two carp jumped out of the crack, achieving Wang Xiang's wish.
Wang Yan didn't believe this story. It would be good for an elderly child to lie on ice in winter to ask for carp without freezing to death. Furthermore, it is impossible for carp in the glacier to jump out on its own initiative.
Wang Lan Zhixiao, his half-brother, was also extremely kind.
Zhu often finds reasons to beat Wang Xiang. After Wang Lan saw this, he disagreed with his mother's actions, but he did not dare to stop him, so he could only apologize afterwards. When Wang Xiang grew up, he created a name for himself. Zhu was jealous and planned to poison Wang Xiang with poisoned wine. When Wang Lan learned the news, he snatched the wine to drink. Zhu was so angry that he snatched the wine and threw it to the ground. Because of this, Zhu suddenly realized.
Zhuge Liang changed the subject and asked, "Big brother, what should I do if the Wang family doesn't let anyone go?"
Wang Yan said: "There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. It will naturally be known when you arrive."
Zhuge Liang nodded in a vague way, a smile on his chubby face, but his eyes were filled with worry.
The carriage stopped at the door of the Wang family, and the servant immediately handed over the prayer letter.
After a while, the door creaked open.
Inside the mansion, an old man wearing a brown robe with a pretty face and slightly arched back walked out with a crutch. Behind him were several middle-aged people, all of whom were in charge of the Wang family.
After the old man walked out, he bowed slightly and said, "Old Wang Ming, pay homage to the county magistrate."
The tone was full of respect, but it was alienated and indifferent.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "The father-in-law is so polite. I have been in office for half a year and have only been here to visit me now. I feel very ashamed." After saying this, Wang Yan put his posture very low and ordered the Wang family to release him. This is not suitable and it is easy to make a big deal.
If the Wang family cooperated and let Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin go, everything would be easy. But the Wang family was unwilling to cooperate, and Wang Yan was not a person who was afraid of trouble. A branch of the Wang family was not enough to make Wang Yan afraid.
Wang Ming led Wang Yan, Zhuge Liang and others into the mansion and sat down in the hall.
Immediately, another servant served tea.
Wang Yan took the tea, took a sip, and then smiled and said, "I heard that the Wang family in Yangdu and the Wang family in Linyi are all passed down by Wang Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng. When I saw it today, the Wang family has a grand demeanor and a rigorous family style, and it is indeed extraordinary."
A look of pride appeared on Wang Ming's old face. Everyone was proud of the glory of the Wang family. He knew Wang Yan's purpose, but he did not hit the smiley person and smiled and said, "Sir, I praised him."
Wang Yan also said: "I was named Wang. I was born in Qi County, Taiyuan, and it was a pre-Qin area. It is hard to say that hundreds of years ago, I was a family with the old man, and they were both descendants of Wucheng Hou."
"Hahaha..." Wang Ming was happy in his heart, thinking that the county magistrate in front of him was very good, and praised: "If I also recognize the county magistrate, hundreds of years ago, it might be a family."
Zhuge Liang saw it and was secretly anxious. Why was it all nonsense?
If this continues, the key points can be discussed in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
Wang Yan's tone was neither anxious nor slow, his expression was a little warm, but he always maintained a lukewarm attitude, and said: "As the saying goes, the family does not speak two families. This time I came here for the Wang family's century-old reputation."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Ming's face changed suddenly. He knew what Wang Yan was going to say and said seriously: "It is related to the reputation of the Wang family for hundreds of years. Please make clear the matter magistrate."
Wang Yan sighed softly and smiled and said, "My uncle Zhuge Xuan, had a conflict with the Wang family because of a little friction. Now, Uncle Zhuge has been detained in the Wang family. Zhuge Jin came to pay a visit with his official letter, and was detained. In fact, I think this is all a sesame thing and is not worth mentioning. I let the person go, and the matter ends here. My father, what do you think?"
Wang Ming's face was slightly cold, and his turbid eyes stared at Wang Yan, like an old jackal, revealing his introverted ferocity. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "The county magistrate doesn't know that Zhuge Xuan is involved in stealing my Wang family's jade artifacts. The evidence of this matter is all there. Even if the county magistrate pleads with mercy, this matter cannot be stopped."
Wang Ming didn't see Zhuge Xuan.
Wang Ming valued the prestige of the Wang family. Wang Yan visited the door and the Wang family immediately released Zhuge Xuan, which meant that the Wang family had surrendered to Wang Yan, and it would be very difficult to lead the major families in Yangdu County in the future.
If someone with a certain identity asked Wang Ming to plead with him, perhaps Wang Ming would release Zhuge Xuan. But Wang Yan came to the door and the matter was no longer just a matter between Wang Ming and Zhuge Xuan, but also to the authoritative battle between Yangdu County and the Wang family.
It is impossible to stop this matter.
Wang Yan stared at Wang Ming, his tone was slightly cold, and he said, "Don't you give me this little face to me?"
Wang Ming said: "The state has its own laws, and I can't do anything about it."
Wang Yan smiled, and his handsome cheeks gradually showed a cold sneer. The Wang family planned to take it to the end, so he couldn't blame him for taking action. The opportunity had been given, but if Wang Ming didn't take it, he wouldn't show mercy.
Wang Yan didn't take it seriously.
Wang Ming put his face in front of him, so Wang Yan would naturally not be slapped with a slap.
