Feng Ziyong was very depressed sitting in the sedan chair, and just now he went to Majiazhuang to explain to his aunt and uncle. Fortunately, my aunt and uncle knew what their precious son-in-law was like and didn't complain about themselves. Feng Ziyong thought that he didn't have a mother when he was a child, but his aunt raised him, and his mother-in-law treated him badly at that time, and it was his aunt who took him to Wuchang County to raise him.

Thinking of this, Feng felt that he had indeed gone a little too far. No matter how much my aunt and uncle look down on that son-in-law, Zhu Hongsan is also his cousin-in-law.

In the sedan chair, Feng decided to go back and mention the old bustard in the second hall and told her to shut up. Feng Ziyong knew that this kind of low-level people in society were very afraid of the government, and he would give her some money when the time came, so there should be no problem. It's just to break the limbs of a few people, and no one will die.

After the sedan chair entered the county office, Feng Ziyong said to the master: "Mr. Liang, please go and find the cell boss." ”

After a while, the head of the prison came. After waiting for the cell boss to say goodbye, he said, "Cell boss, you bring those splashes and the old bustard now, and I will be arraigned in the second hall." ”

When the cell leader heard this, he knelt down and spoke: "Master, last night, the eight splashes and the old bustard Zhang died because of their injuries, and today they find that they are dead." ”

Feng Ziyong was shocked when he heard it: "What? He's dead? "Yesterday in the lobby, Feng Ziyong saw those people, all of them had broken limbs, no wounds, why did they all die overnight. Feng Ziyong is also a person who has done the county order. I know what kind of virtue these officials are. He wants to do all kinds of evil, but as long as he can still carry out Feng's own orders, he doesn't bother to care about them.

Because the water is clear and there are no fish, no one will work if it is too hard. But now these people are too bold, and the nine lives are said to be killed.

Feng Ziyong was furious and scolded: "Say, how did you die, did you gang of officials kill you, you usually don't have clean hands and feet, and the official doesn't care about your." Now you're going a little too far, come on, give me ten boards. ”

The soap squad official came up and took off the trousers of the cell head, picked up the water, fire, blue and red sticks, and beat the board. The cell boss screamed. After a while, after the beating of the sticks, a servant stepped forward and said, "After the ten sticks are beaten, please ask the master to examine the injury." ”

Feng Ziyong then asked, "Say, what's going on." ”

The cell boss said: "The master spares his life, the villain has a love in return." ”

Feng drank it himself: "Say." ”

The cell boss looked left and right and said, "Please retreat from the left and right, I can only talk to the master about this matter alone." ”

Feng Ziyong waved his hand, and everyone went down. Feng Ziyong said: "Say it." ”

The cell boss repeated what Zhu Hongsan said to himself in the morning, of course, he didn't mention the money and promotion.

Feng Ziyong was very surprised when he heard it, originally he thought that those nine people were found by Ma Mingyuan, after all, his Ma family had deep roots in Wuchang County, and it was still possible to kill a few people. But listening to the head of the cell, Zhu Hongsan did it himself. Feng Ziyong didn't know that the old bustard was treated to death by misdeeds, or he would be even more surprised.

After asking someone to carry away the cell head, he fell into deep thought, Feng Ziyong has not seen a ruthless person. I haven't seen anyone when I was handling cases before, but I have seen the whole family kill people. But I have never seen something like Zhu Hongsan so strict. Suffocating to death with mulberry paper could not detect the injury on the appearance at all, and Zhu Hongsan was the plaintiff.

He was still a clansman, and in self-defense he wounded a few splashes, and then splashes died of his injuries in prison. Such cases can withstand review when they are taken there, and the cases of their clan will be sent to the palace of the king of Chu, and the small cases of the king of Chu will not be seen with the virtue of the king of Chu, and the case files will be destroyed directly.

The more Feng Ziyong thought about it, the more frightened he became, this Zhu Hongsan was not simple. Designed from the start, it's interlocking. Those few splashes will not be good if they don't die in prison and get out, and beating the sect in Huguang will kill them just this one. Thinking of this, Feng Ziyong couldn't help but think of Ma Mingyuan yesterday when he was leaving, saying that Zhu Hongsan would solve it himself. At that time, I felt that Ma Mingyuan might just be talking, and later he would have to make a move with his own county order.

Feng Ziyong now wanted to see what kind of person this Zhu Hongsan was like, and he was becoming more and more interested in him. ordered someone to go down and bring Zhu Hongsan to the prison.

Zhu Hongsan mentioned it for a while. Feng Ziyong asked the idlers to wait. glanced at Zhu Hongsan and said, "You killed the person?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Yes. ”

Feng Ziyong was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhu Hongsan to answer so happily. Then he asked, "Why did you kill them?" You should know that this official won't leave you alone, and they won't talk nonsense. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's not for this, because I don't want to be like an adult." ”

"Like me? Why like me? ”

Zhu Hongsan continued: "Yesterday Xiaofang told me that my second cousin was chased by my sister-in-law when he went to a brothel and had no way to escape, jumped off the building and broke his leg, I don't want to have no status at home like my second cousin in the future, in order to keep this status, those people will die." ”

Feng Ziyong almost died of anger, not because Ma Xiaofang said something ugly about him, but because Zhu Hongsan actually killed nine people for such a trivial matter. Feng Ziyong stood up, and said directly to Zhu Hongsan with his hand: "You are too vicious, you will take the lives of the nine of them just for such a small matter." Aren't you afraid that I will kill my relatives in righteousness? ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "I said to my second brother Ma Mingliang that I look down on you stinky old men the most, you don't have the ability to fart, you pretend to be sanctimonious, but in fact, you are a man and a prostitute." You can go to kill your relatives in righteousness, but you have to be clear, you were raised by my mother-in-law, and my daughter-in-law was also found by my mother-in-law, and you sent your adoptive mother's son-in-law to prison before you reported this kind of nurturing grace. What about the filial piety of your literati? What do your superiors, your relatives, your fathers, your children think? How will you mix in the circle of literati in the future? How are you going to see your aunt in the future? ”

Zhu Hongsan's series of blows made Feng Ziyong's face pale, and he sat on the chair and couldn't speak. Yes, what about the filial piety you have learned? This is the cornerstone of all my faith. Without filial piety, what is the use of what you have learned in the past few decades? What does my aunt think of me? What does my own child's father think of me? What do my superiors and colleagues think of me? They may be able to say that I killed my relatives in righteousness on the surface, and they may also say that I am Hai Rui's second, but they must exclude themselves. Just look at Hai Rui, you can know that you don't want to be Hai Rui.

Feng Ziyong thought of this, and found that the only way was to report to the Chu Wangfu according to Zhu Hongsan's method, saying that the nine people had kidnapped the Chu clan and died of their injuries after being beaten. Because the human and material evidence is a full set, the Chu Wangfu may also report to the imperial court and reward himself, the magistrate who maintains the clan. At that time, except for the relatives of the nine families who died, they were dissatisfied with the accident, and the officials at all levels were satisfied, and everyone was promoted and made a fortune. Is this what it means to be an official yourself?

Zhu Hongsan saw that Feng Ziyong's face was getting paler and paler, and he looked like he was about to vomit blood. Think about it, let's help him, after all, it's my eldest brother, and it's not easy to meet Ma Mingyuan if he gets hurt. stepped forward and said in Feng Ziyong's ear: "Second cousin, don't you remember the unity of knowledge and action in mind?" Think about Zhang Juzheng, a good person can only be a clean official, not an official who is useful to the country. ”

A sentence came to Feng Zi's heart, yes, I don't care what kind of clean and corrupt official he is, I just need to have a clear conscience. After figuring it out, Feng Ziyong's face slowly became normal. Feng Ziyong looked at Zhu Hongsan opposite, and now he didn't dare to underestimate this gentleman at all. This guy put himself in a logical circle with a single sentence, and almost made himself vomit blood. Another sentence made me understand, Ma Mingyuan was right, this is a dangerous guy.

Zhu Hongsan saw Feng Ziyong looking at him viciously and said, "Don't thank me, I just saw that you were going to vomit blood." After all, you are my wife's cousin, and you really want to vomit blood, and it will be difficult for everyone to meet in the future. Second cousin, the case is over, the murderer has died in prison, and the human and material evidence is clear, can I go home. ”

Feng Ziyong said: "Yes, but you have to wait for the summons of the official at any time." ”

"Okay, the second cousin will see you back, and when Xiaofang and I are happy, please ask the second brother to have a wedding drink." After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he walked out. It's not right to think about it, there is still something to be done, and the cell boss has not been done.

When he returned to the house, he said to Feng Ziyong: "Second cousin, the cell head Li Tou in the prison takes care of me a lot, I promised him to be a team leader, please ask the second cousin to agree to this matter." ”

Feng Ziyong was not angry, and said: "No, can he not be responsible for the death of someone in prison?" I still want to be the leader of the team, and it would be good if I didn't punish him. ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "Second cousin forgot? Li Tou knows the cause and effect of this incident, and if he doesn't reward the meritorious person, I'm afraid that the second cousin in this Wuchang County will have a lot of things that are difficult to do. ”

Feng Ziyong thought about it, it just so happened that he had just arrived here, and he didn't have any cronies, so why not give him a team leader. After figuring it out, he nodded.

Zhu Hongsan saw that everything was done. And Feng used his own arch hand to go home.

Out of the gate of the county government, Zhu Hongsan still felt that freedom was the best. Qian Fatzi and Zhu Hongsan said goodbye and went home without mentioning it.

Zhu Hongsan retrieved the horse and thought: "I was going to go to the farm to have a look, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in the past two days." Now I have a leg injury, and I am afraid that my mother will worry when I go home. Let's go to the village, heal from the injury and then go to the Ma family to propose. ”

Zhu Hongsan made up his mind to ride his horse and rush to the farm in the south.

After arriving at the farm, before entering the village, he saw Ma Youfu, who was watching the gate of the Ma family, come out to greet him. Zhu Hongsan is very strange, why did he come? Ma Youfu came to him and took the reins and said, "Uncle is back." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "Old Ma, why are you here?" ”

Ma Youfu said: "The second young master said that my uncle wanted to use his own caravan to buy goods, and my eldest brother was in charge of the caravan, so the second young master asked me to be a liaison person." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded. When Tie Niu saw Zhu Hongsan coming, he pulled Zhu Hongsan aside and said, "Big brother, the second brother of the Ma family has sent someone here, this is to rob our property." ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled, he knew what Tie Niu meant. In the past, there were not many people, and this Zhuangzi was all managed by iron bulls, and now it is inevitable that someone will be a little dissatisfied when someone comes to seize his power. Zhu Hongsan said: "Tie Niu, our family business will gradually grow bigger, and you, the manager, will manage tens of thousands of people and 100,000 people in the future." Ma Youfu is only in charge of our business dealings, and you are still responsible for the production side. Don't worry, they won't be able to take away our industry. ”

When Tie Niu heard that he would have to manage tens of thousands of people in the future, his face turned red with excitement.
