Chapter 9 Fan in and out of the horse
The corpse of the Fan Lin clan hung at the head of the Fan family, fluttering back and forth in the wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The big red jacket skirt on info's body was only worn once when she got married, and she didn't want to have the function of both auspicious clothes and mourning clothes. The red embroidered shoes were full of mud, proving how difficult it was to trek at night to complete the action of hanging. How precious a person's life is, is a question that is difficult to give a standard answer, in the here and now Dafanzhuang, the little seventh sister-in-law used her death to give an answer: the value of life is about equal to ten acres of good land.
Dead people don't look good, especially hanging. The face that was beautiful before his life has now become extremely hideous. The children of the Fan family were discussing around the dead corpse, but no one dared to make do with the dead corpse, how to deal with the dead corpse, and how to end this human life, in the end, it still depends on the result of the negotiation between the patriarch and the chief Jia.
Mr. Hong had already smoked two bags of cigarettes, and was unhurriedly loading the third bag of cigarettes. He is more than a dozen years younger than Fan Changwang, and he is not yet fifty years old this year. The stature is not very high, but it is strong enough, and the jujube red face is full of oil, and at a glance, it must be a plain diet with sufficient food, no hunger and cold, which is exactly what the governor of a township grain tax man should look like.
Although Fan Changwang is older and is on his own family's land, he is absolutely weak in his attitude, and the prestige of the patriarch in the past is not at all.
"Mr. A, we have been friends for decades, and you have to be more considerate, this disaster fell from the sky, and the villain was really wronged. You know me, the little seventh sister-in-law hanged herself, and it really has nothing to do with my family. ”
"Wronged? Who is not wronged? If it weren't for our decades of friendship, the lawsuit of the little seventh sister-in-law at the beginning, I would have judged her to win. What's going on with the ten acres of land, don't you count it yourself? I thought you could properly deal with the aftermath and clean up the matter, but how did you know that you were so useless and caused such a catastrophe! Did you know that human lives matter! The dead body is hanging in front of your house, and you say it has nothing to do with you, so why doesn't she hang herself on someone else's door? As soon as the county magistrate investigates this case, he will find out the ten acres of land, and even I, a villager elder, will be affected. You don't have to worry too much, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can run. We've been friends for so many years, and I'm definitely going to help you find a way. In the end, it's just one word: money. The fire is so bad that the pig's head is rotten, the money is used for official affairs, and a sum of money is broken, and this human life is 'drowned' to it, and the government can't really go to the countryside. Fortunately, she has no relatives and can't afford to make a disturbance, if things are big, I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress it when she wants to. ”
"Mr. A, the villain you said also understands, but this number ......"
Mr. Hong smiled, "Old man Fan, you are still talking to me about catty heads at this time, aren't you too much of a jerk?" A big lawsuit, a big silver, this is something that can't be helped. Even if the king of heaven comes, it is at this price. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you, with interest...... According to the rules, it is. Also, on this errand service, you can also think of some way, after all, isn't there still a small Fan Zhuang below you? Let's spread it out, and it will always pass. Actually, you might as well listen to me, promise your granddaughter to my grandson, let's be in-laws on both sides, and take a part of the dowry money. ”
"Dad, my brother and I are here!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Fan Da, who was full of big heads, and Fan Jin, who had just gotten off the ground, walked into the room one after another. Fan Changwang didn't care about reprimanding his son for being unreasonable, but pulled Fan Jin over and said: "Jin Zai, we can discuss everything you said, and I will listen to you have an idea about the matter in front of you." ”
Mr. Hong looked Fan Jin up and down a few times, and then looked at Fan Changwang again, still with a smile on his face. "Changwang, who is this?"
"In Xia Fan Jin, the people of Xiao Fan Zhuang are now studying in Fan Zhuang Social School. The patriarch is my uncle. ”
Hong Zongjia looked at Fan Jin's head again, and saw that he was wearing a corrugated hat instead of a Quartet scarf, and he was sure that he had no fame, and his expression became more and more arrogant.
"Oh, Scholar, yes. It is good to study more, in case the ancestral tomb smokes, and God appreciates a show before it comes down, and I also have a glorious face. But at the moment, we are talking about the important matter of human life, not the business of scholars, you should step aside, and when we are done talking, we will talk about your small things. ”
"General A, the students are here to talk about this important matter of human life, General A, as the chief, is in charge of the grain and labor of a township, and also bears the responsibility of the criminal name. Now that there is a death under the rule, the general A does not go to report to the official, but sits here idly, and the court is afraid that there is some obstacle. ”
"What, you mean, you want me to report to the police? Changwang, is this what he meant, or do you mean? If you want me to report to the official, then I don't care about this matter. ”
Fan Changwang looked at Fan Jin, and then looked at Mr. Hong, sweating like rain, and he couldn't care for a while. After a long time, he gritted his teeth, "Master Jia, our Dafanzhuang is a small place, if something happens, it can't be suppressed, if this case is not official, it will be a heart disease sooner or later in the future, I think, let's sue the official!" ”
Mr. Hong looked at Fan Changwang, then at Fan Jin, smiled, and knocked the cigarette pouch lightly on the table a few times. "Good...... That's what you said, report to the official, I'll go to the official. When the time comes, if you want to beg me, I can't help it. Fan Changwang, I see that your good life in Dafan Zhuang is also over, I want to see, when someone comes from the yamen, how should you socialize. ”
He Huo Ran got up, pushed the door and walked out, Fan Da sent a few steps, but it was not as fast as Mr. Hong's legs, and seeing that he had gone out of the door, he came back. In the room, Fan Changwang was already paralyzed on the chair and couldn't stand up, Fang Cai's decision had used up all the strength and courage of the old man, and it was very difficult to even move at this time.
Fan Jin said: "Uncle, it's really rare for you to believe me so much, if you just say a word and don't report to the official, next, Mr. Hong will have to deal with the little nephew." ”
"I don't believe you, but his appetite is too big, this time he will eat half of my belongings in one bite, and he wants my precious granddaughter to marry his bastard grandson, even if I Fan Changwang is useless, I will not throw my granddaughter into the tiger's mouth." I accompanied him in this lawsuit, and it was a big deal to use my old life to compensate for the life of the little seventh sister-in-law! ”
Fan Jin said: "If you need to resist your life, you don't need to look for me." The little nephew always has to find a way to cover up this case. ”
Fan Changwang glanced at Fan Jin a few times: "Jin Zai, what conditions do you want, open a handicap first." ”
"Uncle, that's a long way off. We can't write two fans in one stroke, naturally the surname Fan helps the surname Fan, how can you ask for any handicap. Let's get things out of the way first, and then we take care of it. ”
Fan Da said: "Otherwise, we will throw away the dead body, and there will be no corpse to examine, and see how he sues." ”
"Okay, since the eldest brother thought of this idea, why don't you hurry up and do it?"
Fan Da originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect to get Fan Jin's approval, turned around and rushed out of the door, and after a while, he came back panting and said, "I have removed the dead body." Those people surnamed Hong were still watching from a distance, hmph, there were only a few people in them, who would dare to stop them? If you dare to stop them, you will beat them up as a brother-in-law! ”。
Fan Jin said with a smile: "If there are many people who come, half of this lawsuit will be lost if it is not fought." What did the people of the Hong family do when they came to Fan's house with fanfare? Could it be that the prophet knew that there was going to be a death here, and he came to guard against it? ”
Fan Changwang didn't speak, closed his eyes and thought about the problem, and then suddenly exclaimed: "Wait, I'm afraid that the hanging of this little seventh sister-in-law is not simple, maybe it is Hong Laogou behind it, otherwise why did people enter the village as soon as it dawned and brought their nephews here?" The dead body does not leave the ground, it is the rule of the government, and the removal of the corpse without authorization is not a violation of the royal law? ”
Fan Da looked at his father dumbfounded, and then looked at Fan Jin, Fan Jin spread his hands and said: "Yes, the little seventh sister-in-law just died, and Hong Zongjia came, most of the time, his hands and feet are indispensable in this matter." Now that the eldest brother has moved the body again, when it comes to the lawsuit, it is impossible to say whether he committed suicide or killed himself. ”
Fan Da was angry and anxious, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one available at the moment, most likely he would have swung his fist over. People were walking around the room, not knowing how to get out. Fan Changwang was very calm, only looking at Fan Jin. "Jin Zai, although you are young, you can't do half-baked things, your eldest brother is a fool, and I am also an old man. As long as this matter can be turned into a big thing and a small thing, I am in charge, and the ancestral hall will be built in Xiaofanzhuang, and even the social studies of Fanzhuang will be moved to Xiaofanzhuang, and the head of the school will also be done by you. Now you just say it, and we'll do what you say. ”
Fan Jin said: "The uncle is old and virtuous, and he must be a person who believes in his word, and the little nephew is also duty-bound. Brother Lobby, don't be stunned now, go and wipe the mud off the feet of Aunt Xiaoqi's dead body, remember not to leave any dirt, if she is wearing shoes, take off the shoes and burn them, leaving no traces. After processing, hang the dead body back, how can people from the county not see the dead body? ”
