Chapter 1000: Temporary Stay in Wuyuan

Tsk, so useless!

The Kang women despised her in their hearts, but were also very happy... Most of the women of the Kang family in Northeast China had been tortured by this old woman, and today they had gotten their revenge.

Madam Sun ignored Old Lady Sixteen and leaned over to look at Yan Xiaosi. Her almond-shaped eyes curved as she smiled and said, "Are you Mr. Rong's younger brother, Yan'er?"

Yan Xiaosi bowed solemnly to Madam Sun before saying, "My Lord, I am Mr. Yong's younger brother. Thank you for your help."

"Good child." Madam Sun looked at the child, then thought of Kang Rong and said to Kang Li: "All the children you have given birth to are good, especially Mr. Rong, who has the character of your great-grandfather, the historian Li."

Why did Kang Li’s family fail to make any contribution at the beginning of the establishment of the Wei Dynasty?

It was because the great-grandfather of the Li family was obsessed with recording historical facts that he offended the founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty, which prevented two generations of the Li family from entering the Wei Dynasty court.

The gap between the Li family and other families widened.

But even so, Li's great-grandfather did nothing wrong. Even Emperor Taizong praised him as a qualified historian in his later years.

It was precisely because Li's great-grandfather was upright and had been praised by Emperor Taizong that Kang Liwen asked to marry Kang Li.

It was thanks to the reputation of Kang Li's ancestors and the sympathy and admiration of the literati for Li's great-grandfather that the road to the imperial examination was smooth.

Lord Li Wen of the Northeast Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office. There are only a few provincial administration commissioners in the Wei Dynasty. In one of them, he is an official in charge of criminal cases. This official position is really not low.

Even Zheng Tongpan of the capital government had to go to the provincial government office to report the case to him.

But this guy has very bad personal morals. He knew that the concubine's family had caused the legitimate son to be extinct, but he still favored the concubine over his wife. This indulgence is really amazing.

"Madam, you are too kind." Kang Li choked up. She would rather endure it for the rest of her life, and would rather let Rong'er be a rich and idle person for the rest of his life, than let Rong'er become famous with his life.

But Rong'er has his own pride. How can she stop him from seeking justice for himself just to keep him safe?

Isn’t it just a breath of life?

Her brother Rong was able to live this life to his full potential, and she was happy for him.

"Thank you, County Lady, for your compliments." Little Yan Xiaosi tactfully thanked her, then pouting and choking back tears as he asked, "County Lady, when will my brother be home? Can he come back tonight?"

He knew his brother was dead, but the dead had to go home to be buried.

He and his mother waited at home for his brother's coffin to return.

Madam Sun said: "I'm afraid he won't come back. He will be carried to Wu Garden and buried there. Your brother is not only a son of the Kang family, but also a righteous man. He deserves to be buried in Wu Garden."

"We have to hold the funeral at Wuyuan!" Sixteenth Old Lady exclaimed. Although she was terrified of Madam Sun, she still said, "County Lady, this won't work. Rong'er is a member of the Kang family. If we don't hold the funeral at home, how will the world view the Kang family?"

"How do you see? With your eyes," Madam Sun retorted unhappily, adding, "If your Kang family feels it's inappropriate to hold the funeral for Mr. Rong, a righteous man, at Wuyuan, then have your Kang family patriarch petition His Majesty. Anyway, the Northeast Province has decided to hold Mr. Rong's funeral at Wuyuan, with the proper ceremony for a righteous man."

In a word: You are not important enough, so it is useless to oppose.

"Ms. Li, go pack your bags. I will escort you and your son to Wu Garden tonight. I will also stay with you in Wu Garden. No one will dare to harm your reputation!"

These words were clearly meant for the women in the Kang family who were older than Kang Li.

After hearing this, the female elders of the Kang family who wanted to object shut up.

"Yes, thank you, Princess. I'll pack it up right away." Kang Li didn't hesitate and immediately took Yan Xiaosi back to pack up.

She knew that only by relying on the people of the world could she seek justice for her son. If she continued to rely on the Kang family, her son would have died in vain!

Fearing that something might happen if she delayed, Kang Li only packed up some important items such as secret letters, private seals, keepsakes, documents, deeds, certificates, ancestral heirlooms, and then went to pack up Kang Rong's things and Yan Xiaosi's things.

More than half an hour later, Kang Li and her son, escorted by Madam Sun, got on a carriage and headed for Wu Garden.

The Sixteenth Old Lady chased out of the mansion and watched the convoy departing. She was so anxious that she jumped up and down. She turned around and angrily scolded the Kang women, "What are you all still doing standing here? Go home and find your husbands to talk to Lord Yan and the others."

"Brother Rong is a member of the Kang family. A member of the Kang family committed suicide while doing something righteous. He should be buried at the Kang family. How can he be buried elsewhere? It's against the law!"

Well, after all, I just want to keep the glory that Kang Rong has worked hard for in the Kang family.

"Yes, let's go home now." Since it was related to the honor of the Kang family, the Kang women hurried home to discuss it with their men.

Unfortunately, all the male members of the Kang family, young and old, went outside the city to guard Kang Rong's body.

Madam Kang Shiliu also wanted to go home by carriage, but was stopped by Concubine Min's confidant who knelt down and said, "Madam Kang Shiliu, please take care of the Third and Fifth Young Masters. Concubine Min has been taken away, and the mistress is gone too. The two young masters have no one to take care of them now."

Madam Kang Shiliu angrily shouted, "How dare you block the master's carriage? Someone, drag this dog away!"

Two bastards who can't bring her any benefits, and yet you still want her to take care of them? Dream on!

……

That night, there was chaos and bustle inside and outside the capital city.

The next day, after the news of Kang Yong's death spread, people from both inside and outside the city rushed to the place where Kang Yong's body was temporarily placed outside the city to pay tribute to him.

When they got near Kang Rong's corpse and took a look, they were shocked: "Oh my God, this mountain of grain is too big and too high. How many kilograms of grain does it have?!"

Lin Mujia and his friends moved food all night and emptied the mountain warehouse opened by Kang Rong.

Boom boom boom!

Drums sounded, and near the huge mountain of grain, messengers shouted again and again: "Mr. Rong is so righteous that he opened his private warehouse to donate grain to the country to fight the enemy. This time, he donated 6,000 bags of grain, each weighing 100 kilograms, for a total of 600,000 kilograms!"

"How much? Six hundred thousand kilograms of grain!" The messenger's shout shocked the people of Wei.

Six hundred thousand kilograms! This number is so huge that they have never heard of it.

And this is just the grain stored in a mountain warehouse hidden by the noble family in the border capital.

I wonder how many private warehouses like this there are?

So is there really a food shortage in the world? Do people really need to starve to death?

"Mr. Rong is righteous!"

Farmers, wealthy families, tenants from aristocratic families, and even half-slave owners all choked up and praised Mr. Rong's righteousness.

After crying for Kang Rong, she went to scold the Kang family members who were wearing mourning clothes: "Mr. Rong was a man of great righteousness, but he was poisoned in his own family and his family is extinct. How can you be the head of the family? You have brought suffering to Mr. Rong."

"The Kang family must give Mr. Rong justice, otherwise none of us will agree!"

"Severely punish all murderers, give Mr. Rong justice, and let Mr. Rong rest in peace!"

Really, if it weren’t for the protection of the Liang family army, the Kang family would have been beaten to death by the huge crowd.

The huge uproar caused by Kang Rong's death not only frightened the Kang family, but also frightened the other masters of aristocratic families.

It was because after Wei Min scolded the Kang family, he scolded them again and questioned them: "Mr. Yong opened his private warehouse to donate grain to fight the enemy. You are more powerful than Mr. Yong. When did you order the private warehouse to open and donate grain to fight the enemy?!"

Faced with such questioning, no one from Wenjie, Zheng Yan and other families responded, and no one dared to follow Kang Rong at this time to open their own private warehouses and donate grain to fight the enemy.

Even Zheng Tongpan, who was a relatively upright person, did not dare to do so.

This private warehouse is not something they can open.

But in order to save their own lives and preserve the family's reputation, they have sent a letter to the master, asking if the master is willing to open the private warehouse to donate grain?
