I’m The King Chapter 1252: : Carry on the past and open up the future (one hundred and forty-two) the family is ruined

Wen Yi borrowed fifty taels of silver from Lu Yuan's family in the town, a usury that doubled every year. Wen Yi planned to wait until he got the land, and work hard for the next year next year, even if he lived another year. In the hard times, the foreign debt of one hundred taels of silver must be paid off. As long as there is land, there is always hope.

After returning home and paying the money, he took a chip from the master clerk, and returned home eagerly waiting for the arrival of the next day. Tomorrow, the master clerk would bring the deed of the land allotted to him. The official fields in the village are all high-quality fields, with a total area of ​​over a thousand acres. At night, Wen Yi went around those fields, looking forward to which one would truly belong to him.

Wen Cheng came to the house in the evening and stayed in Wen Yi's house for a while, but he didn't say anything, he just sighed deeply and left again. There are seven people in Wen Cheng's family. You have to have 70 mu of land, but one hundred and forty taels of silver + pig + pig + island + novel + www + z + sub has become a high threshold. Wen Ben wanted to borrow usury at first, but was stopped by his father. They will continue to have no land of their own and can only rent official land.

Both Wen Yi and the woman were so excited that they didn't fall asleep all night. They got up just after dawn. book here.

Waiting until it was three o'clock in the morning, the clerk in the town finally came, accompanied by two yamen servants, on a wobbly donkey. He issued a deed and threw it to them casually, "This is your deed, come with me, take you to your land, put in the boundary card, and I'm done. Let's run!" The master clerk stretched his waist and said lazily.

Looking at the somewhat swollen face of the clerk, smelling the bursts of alcohol emanating from him, Wen Yi said in his heart. This old man must have not slept well yesterday, look at how he is riding on the donkey, don't fall and break it.

Although the clerk was staggering, he never fell off. He passed through patches of lush green crops and led Wen Yi's family forward. These are official fields, which have been covered by the above two days ago. The imprints of the people are traced by white ash, each piece is very clear, and each piece is passed. Wen Yi's heart was like a cat scratching.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and it is about to walk out of this crop field. Wen Yi can't help but feel nervous. The village is already far away. Acre of land, which one is it?" He couldn't help asking.

The clerk glanced at him sideways, "Why are you panicking? The imperial court will still lie to you. The county magistrate will still lie to you, saying that it is thirty mu, even if it is thirty mu, it will not be worse than you. of."

"Yes, yes. The villain naturally believes in the county magistrate." Seeing that the clerk got angry, Wen Yi hurriedly said.

While speaking, the clerk had already stopped, pointed to the front and said: "Here. That's your land, 30 acres, just a little more. You two, hurry up and insert the boundary card, We have to go to the next one!"

The two yamen servants responded, took a few boundary cards, and rushed towards that place quickly. The land is not a fertile field, it is a wasteland, full of rocks, not to mention crops, even grass, there are not many roots.

"This, is this my land?" He looked at the clerk with trembling hands and feet, "Is this the land I bought for sixty taels of silver?"

"Of course, boy, the thirty acres of land will be yours from now on, please take care of me." The clerk laughed.

Wen Yi's legs felt weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a beep.

"No, no, no, I don't want it anymore, I don't want the land anymore, return the money to me, I don't want the land anymore." Wen Yi said honestly, behind him, the woman was already crying in despair, They are all locals, and they don't know that this land can't be planted at all.

"Boy, do you think the imperial court's plans are a trifle? If you want it, you want it. If you don't want it, you don't want it. Let me tell you, if you want it, you can't withdraw it." Seriously.

The two yamen servants rushed back quickly, and the clerk glanced at the two crying grassroots, and said coldly: "Let's go."

Wen Yi collapsed on the ground. In order to buy this land, he borrowed fifty taels of usury. By this time next year, he would have to pay back one hundred taels, but this land, let alone one hundred taels Two, even ten taels, I'm afraid I can't pay it back, but this is a donkey-rolling usury, one year is one hundred taels, and in the second year, it becomes two hundred taels.

Amid Wen Yi's cries, the woman rushed forward, grabbed the donkey by the reins, pulled the donkey back with force, and screamed: "We don't want the fields anymore. , refund our money."

The clerk was unprepared, and last night was absurd for a long time. This time, the donkey suddenly turned half a circle. The dog ate feces and barked in pain. The two yamen servants frantically helped the clerk up, only to see that there was already a big red and bright bump on the clerk's forehead.

The clerk stretched out his hand to touch it, and he hissed in pain. Seeing the woman in front of him who caused him to fall stretched out his hand and a person who looked like a bone stick stretched out towards him, he suddenly felt angry. At first, the evil was born on the side of the gall, and when he raised his leg, he went over with a heart-warming, "You crazy woman, dare to beat your master."

The woman fell on her back after being kicked, the kick actually knocked her out, and the Sui Yu's doll she was holding in her other hand flew several meters away, struck heavily The ground fell to the ground, just cried twice, and then fell silent.

A yamen servant ran over, took a look, and then gasped. The little baby's head happened to be on a stone half buried in the soil, and the exposed The other part is a sharp triangular protrusion, and on the little doll's head, there is a big hole bleeding profusely. Stretching out his hand to touch the little baby's nose, the servant jumped up, "Master, I'm out of breath, I'm dead!"

At this moment, Wen Yi finally came to his senses. When he saw the woman and child lying on the ground, he rushed over, howling like a wild wolf, and picked up the child with one hand and the woman with the other.

The clerk's face turned pale, and he climbed onto the donkey in a panic, "He fell to his own death, but it doesn't matter to me." up.

Crying was heard everywhere in the village. Wen Yi's family was not the only one who was cheated. All the families who bought land with money did not get the official land they had been renting and planting as they expected. Just like righteousness, all they were given were some wasteland where no bird shit. Not to mention growing grain, even if it was planting grass, it might not be able to grow much.

Wen Cheng sighed, looking at Wen Yi who was curled up in the room with his head in his arms, and Wen Yi's woman was curled up in the corner of the room in a daze, holding the child who had long since lost her breath. With long hair and shawls, like a ghost, Wen Cheng wanted to take the dead child from the woman's arms several times. I can only give up.

"Ayi, the matter is already like this, what else can we do, you and I go out first, get some thin boards, at least you can also open a thin wooden coffin, so that the child can be buried in the ground." Wen Cheng said to Wen Yi Pull it up from the ground and drag it outside.

"Let's go, I still have some boards at home, you go and get them with me, nail them up and bury the child!" Looking at the tragic situation of this family, Wen Cheng felt sad, and at the same time felt a burst of luck. Dad forbids him to borrow usury, otherwise there will be another crying family in the village today.

Wen Yi followed Wen Cheng to his house in a daze. The two of them carried a few wooden planks, and when they returned to Wen Yi's house, the woman and child had disappeared.

"Ayi, where is your woman?" Wen Cheng was startled and shouted loudly.

Wen Yi also seems to have regained his senses. He searched the room frantically, but he didn't find a piece of clothing. I felt that my breathing was stagnant, and there was a piece of black hair floating below the well.

"Ayi!" He yelled loudly.

The woman and child were salvaged, but they were out of breath for a long time, and the woman still held the child tightly in her arms, unable to pull it apart.

Wen Yi was like a lunatic, holding a lamb fork, drove everyone including Wen Cheng out of the house, and slammed the door.

"Ayi, Ayi, don't be fooled!" Wen Cheng shouted anxiously outside the house~IndoMTL.com~ There was no response from the room, only Wen Yi's wolf-like howling.

"Let's go, let's go first, let Ah Yi cry for a while, maybe it will be better, we will come over to help him with the funeral of his mother-in-law and baby at night, poor thing!" Wen Cheng's father said Qi Ran. A good home is gone in a blink of an eye.

The whole village is in mourning, and they are desperate to get the land. This incident pushes their already impoverished life further into the abyss. No hope, in the dark night, there is not a single light in the whole village. Wen Cheng left the house, ready to go to Wen Yi's place to have a look.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, a fire flashed in front of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, the fire became bigger and brighter, almost covering the entire village. That was Ah Yi's house, Wen Cheng was taken aback, and ran towards Wen Yi's house.

Wen Yi's house has been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

"Ayi, Ayi!" Wen Cheng jumped up and shouted outside the fire scene, but the only answer he received was the crackling sound of the fire. (to be continued...)
