A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 236 Yang Wei
"Haha, I don't dare to take the kindness of acquaintance, I don't dare to take it for granted. What you have now is all due to your hard work."

When Lin Yao said this, he couldn't hold it in anymore and sneered, which made Meng Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, feel his heart sinking.

"Do you know why I'm here?"

Meng Liang trembled all over.

"Subordinates don't know."

"Don't you know?"

Lin Yao looked at Meng Liang who was pretending to be stupid and chuckled.

"Really don't know? You know."

"General, please inform your subordinates. I really don't know."

There was a lot of sweat on Meng Liang's forehead, soaking the ground, and his voice was trembling.

Lin Yao no longer accompanied him to pretend to be crazy, gently tapped the table and said.

"Colluded with officials from all over Xinzhou, embezzled funds from the Jianghuai project, forced good people to resign and return home, and used hundreds of acres of fertile land to buy off my supervisory director. Are these four things your handiwork?"

As Lin Yao revealed things word for word, Meng Liang's body shook violently uncontrollably, and he did not dare to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

His whole body was pressed tightly against the ground, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.

Lin Yao looked at Meng Liang's embarrassment and felt disappointed in his heart. He dared to hinder his rebel army with such rubbish.

If such garbage dares to block his way, then these people must be destroyed collectively and sent to see Yama to see if that being can forgive these people.

If people like Meng Liang remain in the world, they will not benefit the world at all, and they will even cause more people to suffer.

So Lin Yao looked at Sun Hua.

"Sun Hua, take the factory guards and set off immediately to dig three feet into the ground of Meng Liang's house. You will definitely find out all the people's wealth."

"Subordinates obey."

Sun Hua took the order and took action directly.

Lin Yao stood up, walked past Meng Liang, who was lying on the ground without saying a word, and came to the entrance of the lobby.

Wang Yuyan didn't care about the farce and followed Lin Yao every step of the way.

After looking at the clear sky, he turned his head and said to the guard on the side.

"Take this man with you to see my director of inspection, Director Yang Weiyang. I believe he also misses Meng Fuyin very much."

With that said, Lin Yao walked directly outside, followed closely by Wang Yuyan, always half a step behind him.

Meng Liang, with a look of despair on his face, was picked up from the ground by Lin Yao's personal guards and carried him out.

Meng Liang's heart was overwhelmed by fear, and his legs unconsciously weakened. He was unable to walk on his own and needed to be lifted up and dragged by his guards.

The group of people had a clear goal and headed directly to the Shinshu branch of the city's supervisory department.

With Meng Liang being captured, many officials of the Xinzhou government office were also captured accurately by the personal guards who stayed behind, working with the list provided by the factory guards.

The seat of the Shinshu Supervision Department.

The factory guard took Meng Liang's token, called out Yang Wei who was working, and brought him into Lin Yao's carriage.

"What the hell are you doing? I wonder if it's time to keep a low profile now that the limelight is booming?"

When Yang Wei opened the curtain and walked inside, he complained, feeling that his partner was unreliable.

However, when he looked up, he found that Lin Yao and Wang Yuyan were both sitting in the carriage, with two people holding Meng Liang beside them.

Even with the suppression of two people, his body was still shaking, obviously very panicked.

Yang Wei was in a daze, and he held back what he was about to say. He couldn't help but think, this is the reaction of a mouse when it sees a cat.

"Long time no see, Director Yang, sit down."

Lin Yao looked at Yang Wei who did not dare to move but could not suppress the trembling of his fingers. With a slight smile on his face, Lin Yao motioned for him to sit opposite.Yang Wei remained motionless.

"Have you forgotten me so quickly? I was all the students of your graduating class here, watching you swear to the flag that you will work hard to let the people live a good life.

After that, I will personally issue your graduation certificates, and the appointments to the supervisory department will also be signed by me.

Before leaving Suzhou, I must sort out the relationship between the old officials and the rebels to lay the foundation for subsequent changes. The original words still echo in my ears, but it is a pity that things have changed and people have changed. "

Lin Yao looked at Yang Wei with regret, as if this was what he really meant.

But during this kind of chat about family issues, Yang Wei felt a huge fear in his heart, and he couldn't help but recall what he learned about Lin Yao's methods against corrupt officials when he was a student.

How could he dare to sit down? His legs immediately went weak, and he knelt down as skillfully as Meng Liang, with his forehead pressed against the carriage.

"General, why are you here? I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar."

"Why are you so skilled at kneeling like your good friend Meng Fuyin?
Have you forgotten that I hate kneeling down casually, and prefer to communicate with each other with a respectful salute? You have really forgotten everything! "

Lin Yao spoke slowly, seeming to say that Yang Wei had forgotten that he didn't like others to kneel down at will, and also seemed to be saying that Yang Wei had forgotten his own beliefs.

The latter is more serious and is a major crime second only to betraying Lin Yao among the rebels.

Yang Wei remained motionless, his lips trembling as he squeezed out five words.

"The subordinates dare not forget."

"Don't you dare?"

Lin Yao smiled and said: "Yang Wei, I don't think there is anything you dare not do. Isn't the scenery of that hundred acres of fertile land very magnificent?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Wei's whole body trembled. He lay on the ground and did not dare to move. There was only one thought in his mind.

"It's over."

General Lin suddenly appeared here, and the countermeasures they had planned before were ineffective.

No wonder Meng Liang, who seemed confident of winning before, also lost his former calm.

Yang Wei felt regretful in his heart. He obviously still had so many good things that he had not enjoyed, was he going to be terminated today?

Lin Yao looked at Yang Wei with a look of unwillingness on his face and shook his head.

"You have changed after all. I remember asking you students about it, and I was very impressed with you.

You said that when you were young, due to the persecution of the landlords and gentry, your land was taken away by the landlords, and your family became tenants. You lived a hungry life, and you understand the pain of hunger.

So you don’t want other people to feel this pain and avenge your family members who starve to death.

You told me that your original wish was to eat white rice every day, without impurities such as chaff and gravel.

He also told me that after joining the rebel army, he ate the white rice he had always dreamed of. You cried while eating it, and the soldiers in the same team were comforting you.

From that moment on, you know that everyone in the rebel army is a comrade who can live and die together.

You also said that after joining the rebel army, you can always eat white rice, you don't have to go hungry anymore, you have friends you can rely on, and you feel the family love you never had after your parents died.

So you who feel that you are very happy should spend your whole life protecting this hard-won happiness, saving the people who are suffering the same thing as you before, and don't let this tragic experience be passed down to future generations. "

Recalling what Yang Wei confided in front of him when he was appointed director of the supervision department, Lin Yao felt a little emotional. Things are different and people are different.

"I believe you were thinking this way at the time. What you said was all from your heart. You didn't want to be alone and wanted to shine the sunshine into all the darkness. But you soon changed.

You are no longer willing to eat ordinary rice and pursue the so-called refined rice of landlords and squires, but this is just ordinary rice mixed with the blood and tears of tenant farmers.

If you start to pursue luxury, you should feel that land is the most precious thing, because it can support your continuous wealth production, right?
From a hundred acres of fertile land, if no longer suppressed, a thousand acres, ten thousand acres, tens of thousands of acres, and eventually become the person I hate the most. "

Lin Yao calmly spoke the simplest words, but they were like sharp daggers piercing Yang Wei's heart.

As he knelt on the ground, his body began to tremble and his breathing became rapid.
