One night in the spring breeze, the next morning and noon, Fang Yuan was refreshed and in good spirits when he got up.

Xiao Yuan dressed him in brocade clothes behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Does Childe like it?" ”

After last night's lingering, although Fang Yuan did not have a substantive relationship with her, the relationship between the two of them obviously took a big step forward, pinched her pink face and said, "Of course I like it." ”

Xiao Yuan was still a little shy in the face of his fiery gaze, and bit her lips lightly and said, "Childe likes it, and I will serve Childe like this every night in the future." ”

Fang Yuan couldn't ask for it, and was about to speak again, when Qin Zhan's voice sounded outside the door, "Boss, open the door quickly, there is a complaint in the mailbox." ”

This time it is really a double happiness!

Fang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately left the dormitory, pulling Qin Zhan and asking, "What is the complaint?" Is there a real name? ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly took out the letter delivered in the petition mailbox and handed it to Fang Yuan, "It's your real name, it's Changshu Weng's who complained!" ”

"Good!"

Fang Yuan opened the letter of complaint, which was written by Liu Wei in the north of the city, complaining about Weng Xiang, the nephew of the Weng family, who was usury, forced good people to become prostitutes, and disregarded people's lives.

He couldn't find a reason for Xingshi to ask for guilt and was mad at this rich businessman, and the opportunity came to the door, the Manchu Emperor, right! I'm going to make you eat all over the floor this time.

Fang Yuan immediately ordered Qin Zhan to bring thirty brocade guards and rushed straight to Liu Wei's house in the north of Suzhou.

When Fang Yuan arrived at Liu Wei's house, he found that Liu Wei had opened a small textile workshop in the north of Suzhou, and it seemed that his family was quite wealthy.

Liu Wei saw that Jinyiwei came to the door, and hurriedly beckoned everyone into the small workshop.

Fang Yuan entered the small workshop only to find that the five looms in the workshop had been abandoned for a long time and had not started.

As soon as he entered the hall and sat down, Liu Wei knelt down to him, and said with tears streaming down his face, "Governor Fang, you have to make the decision for me!" I can't live anymore! ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly pulled him up, and comforted him with kind words, "If you have something to say, I came to Suzhou Mansion to make decisions for the people!" ”

Liu Wei said with a handful of snot and tears, "Governor Fang, you have also seen it, I originally opened a small textile workshop, hired a few workers, and my family was quite wealthy, and I also married a well-known beauty in the market, Qi Shi, as his wife, and the family lived a beautiful life." ”

"But Weng Xiang of the Weng family coveted my wife's beauty, and he couldn't seduce me several times, so he resorted to a poisonous trick and sent a tooth to trick me into gambling in his casino, and then cheated me, causing me to lose all my family property and owe two thousand taels of silver. And when I did not pay the money, he called me a pawn wife to repay the money. ”

Fang Yuan knew that the so-called pawn wife was a bad custom in the Ming and Qing dynasties, pawning his wife as goods to others in exchange for a way of remuneration. This way of pawning wives originated in the Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty.

Fang Yuan looked at the gambler Liu Wei in front of him, he was angry at his misfortune and hated him, "So you pawned your wife to the Weng family?" ”

Liu Wei said with a sad face, "Yes, the pawn's wife's contract says that he will be pawned for two years, and he will mortgage this arrears." ”

Fang Yuan was secretly embarrassed, he owed the debt to repay the money, the truth was fair, the money was lost by Liu Wei himself, and the pawn's wife was also agreed by Liu Wei himself, so he just went to the door, and it was not good to take the opportunity to go crazy!

Fang Yuan asked again, "And then?" ”

Liu Wei cried and said, "I don't know that Weng Xiang is a brute, and in less than half a year, my wife was beaten and scolded to death, and my father and I went to ask for an explanation, and my father was also beaten by them, and died soon after returning home." ”

"That's kind of interesting!"

Fang Yuan asked again, "You didn't go to report to the official?" ”

Liu Wei cried and said, "I went to sue, the official word is two, the Weng family is deeply rooted in Suzhou Mansion, I went from the county seat to the government office, and the government government also knew that Li Xiaokong and the Weng family were complicit, and sentenced my wife to commit suicide, and my father's death had nothing to do with being beaten by the Weng family." ”

"The Weng family framed my pawn wife for only repaying the interest on the two thousand taels of arrears, and still owed them the principal of the silver! My father and wife died in vain, they forced my small workshop to close down, and they wanted to collect my small workshop to pay off the debt. ”

"It turns out that Li Xiaokong is also involved, so it's even better!"

Fang Yuan muttered to himself, with the reason to force Liang to become a prostitute and disregard people's lives, it was enough to challenge the Weng family, "When will Weng Xiang come again?" ”

I came three days ago and threatened to move out within three days, and I guess I'll come back tomorrow or tomorrow. ”

Liu Wei was worried that Fang Yuan would hear the name of the Weng family like his acquaintance Li Xiaokong, so he retreated and asked tentatively, "Lord Governor, do you dare to take care of this matter?!" ”

It seems that this Liu Wei was forced to a dead end, otherwise he would not have complained to the petition mailbox.

Fang Yuan said leisurely, "Boss Liu, you go to Weng's house and invite Weng Xiang to come to talk, and the governor is here waiting for Weng Xiang to come to the door." ”

Fang Yuan is not a fool, he will never listen to Liu Wei's words and believe partially, he must verify with Weng Xiang in person before he can decide on the next plan.

Seeing that he was willing to go out in person, Liu Wei was hopeful, and he was busy kowtowing to thank him.

Fang Yuan changed into coarse cloth clothes, pretended to be Liu Yuan, a distant relative of Liu Wei, and ordered all thirty brocade guards to ambush in the back hall of the small workshop, waiting for instructions.

In the afternoon, Liu Wei took the five or six people of the Weng family back to the small workshop, and Fang Yuan pretended to stand respectfully on the side, watching what tricks the people of the Weng family could play.

Weng Xiang is a young man in his twenties, with a ruthless look on his face, and he can tell at a glance that he is not a good person.

Weng Xiang sat in the hall with a big thorn, looked at Liu Wei and said, "Say it!" When to move out? ”

Before Liu Wei could answer, Fang Yuan on the side had already said unhurriedly, "Gongzi Weng, this is unfair!" ”

Weng Xiang had never seen Fang Yuan, and he didn't know what he was, so he said viciously, "What's unfair? ”

Fang Yuan said, "It was Gongzi Weng who coveted the beauty of Boss Liu's wife, Qi's family, set up a game for Boss Liu in the casino, and lured Boss Liu to lose thousands of taels of silver in the casino, right!" ”

Weng Xiang looked at him coldly and said, "Who are you?" What does this have to do with you? ”

Fang Yuan saw that he didn't deny it, and asked again, "Since Boss Liu pawned his wife to you, the two should send it back to the Qi family after three years in accordance with the contract, but in less than half a year, the Qi family died in the Weng family, should Weng Gongzi compensate?" ”

Weng Xiang got up suddenly, pointed to Fang Yuan's front door and said, "Who are you?" ”

Fang Yuan didn't bother to answer his words, and continued to ask, "The old father of the Liu family came to ask for justice, but he was seriously injured by the Weng family and died after returning home, should the Weng family compensate?" ”

Weng Xiang's face was pale, even the prefect and the same governor in Suzhou Mansion wanted to give him some face, but now Fang Yuan exposed his old bottom in public, he was embarrassed and angry, and glanced at the servant.

Several evil servants rushed up and pressed Fang Yuan to the ground.

Fang Yuan let them be charged, but he was still not afraid, and asked again, "I forced the Qi family to death, and I killed the old father of the Liu family, not only did I not compensate, but I also took the only small workshop of the Liu family." Is there any reason and fairness in this? ”

Weng Xiang stepped forward and pulled Fang Yuan's hair and said, "Even if it's a young master, what if I do it?" Master tells you, what is heavenly justice and justice! In Suzhou City, the Weng family is the principle of heaven, the words of the Weng family are justice, and I can be lawless! ”

Fang Yuan sneered and said, "I see, fourth, did you write it down?" ”

Weng Xiang thought that Fang Yuan was already stupid, but when he saw dozens of wolf-like brocade guards rushing out of the back hall, he was stunned on the spot.

Qin Zhan led the brocade guards to arrest Weng Xiang and several evil servants.

Weng Xiang realized that he had been subjected to Liu Wei's way, but he didn't recognize Jinyiwei's flying fish suit, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Wei, you dare to calculate my master, I want your whole family to die!" ”

Fang Yuan got up and tidied up his clothes, smiled and said, "Gongzi Weng, you don't have this chance!" Fourth, what crime did this Weng Gongzi commit?! ”

Qin Zhan ordered Jin Yiwei to take out the book of impermanence and said loudly, "Boss, the crimes committed by this person include usury, forcing good people to become prostitutes, disregarding people's lives, and ignoring national law. ”

Weng Xiang sensed that something was wrong, glared at Fang Yuan angrily, and his arrogant tone before softened, "Who are you?" Li Tongzhi of Suzhou Yamen is familiar with me, don't rush to the Dragon King Temple! ”

Qin Zhan asked Jin Yiwei to write down another note, "Add one more, collude with the government officials!" ”

Weng Xiang saw that the Suzhou Mansion couldn't scare these people, only to know that he had encountered a hard stubble, and suddenly remembered that the Weng family members had often discussed Fang Yuan, the governor who came to Jiangnan, these days, and finally came back to his senses, and said tremblingly, "Yes, is it Governor Fang?" Before I bumped into the nobles, I, I don't know Mount Tai with eyes. ”

Qin Zhan made another note, "The last one, beating the governor of the imperial court, has no king." ”

Fang Yuan and his party blew up their identities, and Weng Xiang realized that he had caused some kind of disaster this time, and he was so frightened that his face was bloodless and he was paralyzed on the ground.

Qin Zhan handed the recorded book of impermanence to Fang Yuan and said, "Boss, do you think these crimes are you?" ”

Fang Yuan briefly reviewed the book of impermanence, and handed it back to Qin Zhan, "Fourth, what punishment should be given for these crimes?" ”

Qin Zhan thought for a while and said, "The head of the sword is executed." ”

Fang Yuan patted the dust on his brocade clothes and said, "Okay! Take it to the petition office, and I want to put this lawless Weng son on trial in Suzhou City! ”

Qin Zhan responded loudly, and ordered Jinyiwei to drag Weng Xiang, who was already frightened, and a few evil servants who were acting for the tiger, and escorted them directly to the petition office set up outside the gate.
