"Hang...... Hang back? So what did I just pick him for? ”

Hearing that the corpse was hung again, Fan Da looked ignorant, and he didn't know what the reason was, but Fan Changwang said: "Do as your brother instructs, the children of the Hong family will not dare to stop you from picking up the corpse, so they will not dare to stop us from hanging the corpse." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and then pass on the words to the people in the clan, this is the Hong family deliberately to harm our Fan family, anyone surnamed Fan, must give me a strict mouth, if anyone eats inside and outside, don't think about entering the ancestral hall again. ”

Fan Changwang is certainly weak to Shanghong Zongjia, but he can achieve the point of eating no household property and forcing people to die, and there is no doubt about his control over his own clan. Several sons and nephews of the Hong family can only be responsible for taking care of the scene, and if the Fan family buries the corpse and throws the corpse, they can point out that the location is the limit. If you want to obstruct the Fan family from hanging the dead body, it is probably impossible.

Fan Changwang's courtyard has become a mess of porridge, with people coming in and out from time to time, some boiling water, and some preparing tea and rice for the errand servants. Fan Jin shook the folding fan, like Zhuge Wuhou on the stage, planning and scheduling, telling how to prepare and how to deal with the errand. The two clansmen of the Hong family who were guarding the dead bodies were also called in front of Fan Jin and said something.

With his words, the expressions on the faces of the two Hong family members changed several times, first confused, then doubtful, and finally fearful, and then they kept nodding. In the end, when Fan Jin sent the two out, the three of them were full of smiles, and they could see at a glance that they had reached some kind of consensus.

Most peasants in this era have a feeling of both admiration and fear for scholars, even those who cut the path of strongmen, once they become large-scale, also hope that there will be a scholar to serve as a military advisor to give advice. Fan Jin's status as a scholar and Fan Changwang's support made it not unusual for these Fan family children to obey Fan Jin's orders and follow his orders, but if they can shock the Hong family, they have to say that his words are really good.

Fan Zhiwen looked at Fan Jin from a distance and didn't dare to approach him. In terms of age, he is more than ten years older than Fan Jin, and he has passed the county examination and is the kind of person who is knowledgeable. But when it happened, he only felt panic, and then he felt deep self-blame. Grandpa forced Seventh Grandma to death, and a large part of the reason was to use this property for his own education.

It can be said that the seventh grandmother has half a human life, which is lost in her own hands. Thinking of a living life disappearing because of himself, and his body floating around on his door, Fan Zhiwen's legs couldn't help but tremble. As soon as he closed his eyes, the corpse of the big red jacket and skirt floated around in front of him, as if he was shouting for his life, and as if he was shouting for returning to the ground. Every thought of this makes him burn and sweat like rain.

He couldn't understand why Fan Jin could arrange there calmly, planning how to let this unjust soul sink to the bottom of the sea.

Everyone reads the books of the sages, and the sage's request for his disciples to be good people, be gentlemen, protect people's lives, and arbitrarily judge the deeds of the country, which is obviously contrary to the teachings of the sages, which is of course wrong from a logical point of view. But his actions are precisely to help his own family, his own father, himself and him, the saint and the family, who is wrong?

"There are people in the Hong family who are in the torture room, and there are people in the yamen, if all this is their ghost, I am only afraid that when the yamen comes, it will be difficult to deal with. Also, he has a talented ...... in his family."

Fan Changwang came back to his senses, but remembered another fatal thing. The officials who came to urge food and money in Pingsuli can already make themselves tired of coping, and this time they have committed a major murder case, how should the officials who come to deal with it.

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't panic, the more murders there are, the more stable we are." If it was elsewhere, it might be someone who came from the history and the torture room, but in Nanhai County, the murder must have been attended by the county order. Don't forget, three lives do evil, and the county is attached. Nanhai County can't help but come, and it doesn't dare not come. Those officials came with the county order, just like a little ghost accompanied by the king of Hades, how dare they run around by themselves, tea and dinner should be prepared, but if you can avoid it, you will be exempted, otherwise it will fall into his mouth. It is better to block the city gate than to block the sea eye, and keep the silver for the king of Hades, than for the little ghosts. As for the showman of the Hong family, I remember that he was an epiphyte in social studies, even if he wanted to come, he might not be able to separate himself, don't worry. ”

Nanhai County is attached to Guo County in Guangzhou, and the county government is located in the city of Guangzhou, which is 45 miles away from Dafanzhuang. Subject to scientific and technological conditions and traffic environment, this distance is enough for most people in Dafanzhuang to never see an official for a lifetime.

The system of officials not going to the countryside in the Ming Dynasty was, to a large extent, affected by objective conditions, and even if officials wanted to go to the countryside, they lacked skills. The muddy road that had just rained further hindered the trip, and it was not until it was past noon that a few horsebacks rode to Dafanzhuang. The most eye-catching person on the horse, the black gauze and green robe, asked Mr. Hong, who was the guide of the horse, while urging the mount: "Is there a big fan village in front?" ”

"If you go back to your old parents, this is Dafanzhuang. The tireless work of my parents to come to this poor and remote country is really the creation of us ordinary people. With parents like you, we are not afraid of not having a good life. ”

Nanhai County Ling Hou Shouyong didn't answer Mr. Hong's words, he only snorted coldly, so that Mr. Hong, who couldn't shoot the horse, touched his nose.

Looking at the yellow mud stained on his cyan official robe, Hou Shouyong couldn't help but feel a burst of boredom in his heart, whether this boredom came from the mud, or from the Hong Zongjia who made all this, or the same city of the prefecture and county that forced him to come here for personal trial, but even he couldn't tell.

The magistrate of the Ming Dynasty is called Baili Hou, which is a very carefree position, collecting money and grain, breaking off lawsuits, and passing the addiction of breaking the family, how can he get thousands of silver. But when this county order is in the same city as the prefect, it is a different matter, if you are unfortunate enough to meet a strong prefect, it is a human tragedy that can only be done in several lifetimes.

This misfortune happened to fall on Hou Shouyong's head. Tao Jianzhi, the prefect of Guangzhou, is a strong person, and he is quite famous in Guangdong, and he is nicknamed Tao Tietou, and even the account of Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong, is not much bought. In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the prefect is a very special existence. Although he was a subordinate of the governor, the performance appraisal was not controlled by the governor, and the promotion and dismissal were directly responsible for the officials, and the governor could not interfere. On the other hand, the performance appraisal of the prefect is in the hands of the prefect, which further increases the power of the prefect.

The governor is a single official, and the prefect has a large number of subordinate officials, and the prefect of the Ming Dynasty is similar to a small political envoy. By the standards of later generations, he is a government official with the status of deputy student. When such a behemoth is bent on making trouble with the magistrate, the situation of the magistrate is unknown.

Like the prefect, the prefect also has three classes and six rooms, relying on the support of Tao Jianzhi, the prefect's yamen duke, snatching cases from the prefect's yamen, and embezzling power, is not uncommon. Hou Shouyong has suffered several dumb losses in a row, and his face has been damaged a lot. In this murder case, if he only sent a few public officials, the prefect's yamen would definitely come forward to take over, and he would add a lazy official service to his evaluation afterwards. is knowing that the road is difficult, Hou Shouyong also has to go through such a journey.

This damn mud...... Why didn't this damn slut die on the territory of Panyu County...... This damn Fan Changwang. Hou Shou cursed in his heart with gritted teeth, and the resentment that followed him and several yamen dukes also greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Dafanzhuang and others in their hearts.

In the countryside, there are more cattle and few horses, and when you see outsiders coming and riding horses, you know that the value of the people who come is different. Just a few steps into the village, Fan Changwang had already led the children of the clan to greet him. Seeing that they had neither farm tools nor knives and guns in their hands, and they didn't look like they were going to engage in violent confrontation, Hou Shou was even more vigorous, and he didn't even get off the horse, so he used his hands on the horse:

"You are Fan Changwang? On that day, the civil woman Fan Lin sued you for embezzling her deceased husband's property, and the case file is still in the ya. Your clan divides the land and property, and originally had nothing to do with outsiders, but forced people to die, and the law of the country cannot tolerate it. Come back with me to the yamen and make this matter clear. ”

Fan Changwang knelt in the muddy water, touched the ground with his head, and said in a choked voice:

"The old parents knew that although the grass people and the Fan Lin clan had a disagreement, they had already shook hands and made peace, and the fields under their names were used as clan fields, and they were also sympathetic to her female body, which was difficult to farm, and she was unable to bear the imperial court's service. I joined the people of the village, shared the Ding Fu for them, and provided them with rations to ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing, which was really a condescending thought of others. Fan Lin couldn't think about it at first, so he went to the county to file a complaint, but later he figured out the stakes, and the case had already been concluded, and the affidavit document is now in the grass people's homes. Fan Lin's is a knot, how can he be embarrassed by the grass people because of this, saying that the grass people are forcing people to die, it is really wronged, please check it out! ”

"The old man is clearly checked! The patriarch is a good person, how can he force people to die. The little seventh sister-in-law has always loved the old patriarch very much, and kept saying that the old patriarch was for her good, but how could she say that the patriarch forced people to die. ”

The Fan family clan that had been mobilized shouted in unison, as if it was an invisible hand, quietly erasing the last bit of redress of a dead lonely woman in the world. Hou Shouyong looked at these people, frowned slightly, and secretly labeled the people of Fanjiazhuang: Diao Min.
