Chapter 590: Can the 9th Generation of Revenge be Revenged?
After hearing what Manager Yang said, Sun Shan couldn't calm down for a long time.
He knew that the new county magistrate was not a good official, but he didn't expect him to be so disgusting.
He has only been in Huangyang County for a little over a year, but he has become so dissolute. The royal relatives around him are so arrogant and domineering. This is probably rare.
After a long silence, Sun Shan's heart was in turmoil, but his face was unusually calm as he asked, "Did you keep any evidence? For example, anything related to the county magistrate's brother-in-law?"
Manager Yang shook his head and said, "Mr. Sun, there is nothing."
Sun Shan continued to ask: "Has Tsinghua and Peking University ever hired a doctor to see you?"
At least there should be a forensic autopsy report to prove how Yang Qingbei died.
Manager Yang nodded, then shook his head and said, "We asked a doctor to see him, but... the doctor saw that the Second Young Master was covered in blood and wounds, so he didn't dare to see him."
In fact, Landlord Yang didn't believe that his son had died like that, so he asked a doctor from the city to see him.
When the doctor saw it, he immediately stopped looking and just said that the person was dead. He left in a hurry and didn't even dare to charge for the consultation.
Sun Shan frowned. If what Manager Yang said was true, there was no physical evidence, no witnesses, and the person had been dead for so long, and there was no way to keep the body frozen, so he would have been buried in the ground and turned into a pile of bones long ago.
Even if the coffin is opened for an autopsy, it is not known whether it can be proved that it was a wrongful death.
Sun Shan really didn't believe in the skills of the Huangyang County coroner. No, he didn't know whether there was a coroner in Huangyang County. Anyway, he had never seen one.
Manager Yang's eyes were already red and swollen. He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Sun, there are also people from Buyifang who can testify. However, the people from Buyifang are the county magistrate's people, not local people from Huangyang County."
The cloth shop opened by the county magistrate's brother-in-law, both the employees and the manager were people brought by them. It is impossible to ask them to testify.
Manager Yang was overwhelmed with sadness when he thought of this, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Landlord Yang's tears were almost dried up, and he spoke with difficulty: "Mr. Sun, our family has been very obedient since childhood, but I didn't expect that he would encounter such a disaster. He, he died so unjustly."
Landlord Yang looked at Sun Shan, who was dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes, wearing a juren's hat and a juren's hat, and his words revealed a temperament that was different from that of a countryman.
I remember going to school and playing with him at Peking University and Tsinghua University, and I never expected that our fates would be so different.
Landlord Yang regretted it so much. First, he regretted not letting Qingbei study by taking the imperial examination because he was afraid of wasting money. Second, he regretted letting Qingbei marry Jin. Beauty is a disaster, so he should not have agreed to this marriage.
In this past year, I lost my son, my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law. The eldest son was selfish and the eldest daughter-in-law was greedy and domineering.
I'm afraid that the Yang family will start to go downhill from him.
Landlord Yang thought that he would be content with a small fortune and could live out his life in peace and security in Yangjia Village.
You can’t imagine how smooth the life ahead will be, but how miserable the old age will be.
Landlord Yang didn't know what to do.
Sun Shan held Landlord Yang's hand tightly and said soothingly, "Uncle, take good care of yourself. We need to take a long-term view on this matter. We can't rush it. We need to make plans before we act. We need to do it step by step. Don't rush it."
Landlord Yang wanted to get up, but he couldn't. Yang Dalang quickly helped his old father up, but he didn't dare to say a word and kept his head down in silence.
Yang Dalang hopes that Sun Shan can seek justice for his younger brother, but he is also afraid that something unexpected may happen along the way, which will lead to the destruction of the Yang family.
The people in the government office had already warned them that if they dared to file a complaint, their families would be destroyed.
They should just take the 50 taels and leave it at that. There should be no more trouble.
How could a mere ant like us be defeated by officials like them?
Yang Dalang was nervous and frightened, not knowing what to do.
Landlord Yang looked at Sun Shan with tears in his eyes and choked up and said, "Mr. Sun, my son Qingbei died unjustly, but the people should not fight against the officials. I don't know if you can help my son Qingbei get justice. If you can't, it doesn't matter. This matter can't be difficult. I just want you to remember the injustice of my son's death for the sake of your friendship with Qingbei. I hope that one day I can get justice for him. It doesn't matter how long it takes, I beg you not to forget him. When you have the ability, you can help him get justice."
Landlord Yang didn't know whether Sun Shan could help him.
A county magistrate is an official, while a juren is just a juren.
However, Sun Shan is still young and has a bright future. If he passes the imperial examination and becomes a high-ranking official in the future, I hope he can help Tsinghua and Peking University to redress the injustice and bring the evildoers to justice because of their friendship since childhood.
Sun Shan held Landlord Yang's hand tightly and said firmly, "Uncle, don't worry. I will always remember Qingbei, and I will help him get justice and make the evildoer who killed him get the punishment he deserves. Uncle, please be patient, take your time, don't rush, let me make some plans."
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongyang said: "Can the hatred of nine generations be avenged?"
Confucius said: "Respect the king and repel the barbarians, restore the kingly way to the past. Even a vengeance of ten generations can still be avenged!"
Can the ninth generation still take revenge? Although it lasts for a hundred generations.
If you want to avenge Yang Qingbei, don't be hasty. After all, your power is not overwhelming now and you need to plan slowly.
Landlord Yang's eyes lit up, and after receiving Sun Shan's promise, he became full of energy.
Manager Yang immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Sun Shan: "Mr. Sun, I kowtow to you on behalf of my master and my second young master. Thank you very much."
After receiving Sun Shan's eye instructions, Gui Ge'er immediately stepped forward and helped Manager Yang up.
Sun Shan asked Manager Yang and Yang Dalang to go out, as he had something to say to Landlord Yang alone.
Yang Dalang didn't want to go out, fearing that Sun Shan would say something that would affect his Yang family's life, but he couldn't ask Sun Shan to stop interfering in Yang Qingbei's affairs.
Although Yang Dalang is ungrateful and ungrateful, he still has a conscience.
His second brother, who was admitted to Qingbei University, died tragically, and his mother was angered to death. He didn't dare to say anything about not taking revenge.
What's more, Sun Shan was a juren with a bright future, so he didn't want to offend anyone.
A county magistrate could kill his second brother, and a juren scholar could also leave him with nothing.
Yang Dalang was very conflicted. He wanted Sun Shan to take care of him, but he also didn't want Sun Shan to take care of him.
Good results are acceptable, but bad results are unacceptable, just like some people only care about rights but do not assume corresponding obligations.
Sun Shan had no idea that Yang Dalang was thinking so much, and even if he knew, he would not have cared.
Yang Dalang is not important at all. With Landlord Yang around, it is not yet his turn to make the decision.
Landlord Yang was the only one left in the room, and Sun Shan said directly: "Uncle, the matter of Peking University and Tsinghua University needs to be considered carefully, and it cannot be disclosed to the outside world. You don't need to care about what I do, just wait for the result slowly."
Landlord Yang nodded quickly and said weakly, "Mr. Sun, do whatever you want. I will wait. I will wait forever."
Sun Shan hummed and continued, "Uncle, take good care of yourself. Sooner or later, you will see the day when the wicked will be punished. Hu Ming needs you. He already has no father, mother, or grandmother, so he can't be without a grandfather anymore."
Landlord Yang said with tears in his eyes: "Well, I know. I will raise Hu Ming well. He is a good boy."
