Chapter 18: Abandoning Wealth and Righteousness (Part II)

[Some things were a little late, but fortunately it was before twelve o'clock. Ask for red tickets, collect]

After asking his uncle and cousin about everything, he had a plan in his heart, and in the afternoon of the same day, Han Gang wrote the complaint by himself and submitted it to the government in person. Seeing that the official who took the complaint ran into the palace in a panic because of the official uniform on his body, Han Gang smiled and turned around to go back to wait for news.

Li Yi is already over the age of six, and he has also been in the position of the prefect of Fengxiang Mansion for three years. And from the time he was admitted to the Jinshi, to now he has been in the Fengxiang Mansion from the official of the four-rank doctor, and he has been up and down in the sea for thirty years. Thirty years have taken away the ambition of his youth and his energy.

Recently, Li Yi has been a little unwell, and he doesn't want to be a director, so he pushes all the affairs of the mansion to the subordinate officials below, and those who can't be pushed off are handed over to the Qingke who are kept at home, and he can be idle. Although he thinks so, things always come to him.

"Counsel." One of Li Yi's cronies, Qing Ke, called Li Yi's official name and walked into the study, "The current trial title is to know that Laizhou records the army and joins the army, Guan Gou Qin Fengyuan to appease the driver Yi, Han Gang, and his cousin Feng Congyi, uncle Li Zhong, cousin Li Xin, and Feng Congyi's brother Feng Congli and other three people, and I beg to investigate the ......."

"Han Gang?"

Li Yi read this unfamiliar but familiar name and interrupted Qingke's words. Although he has been ill recently and has no intention of taking care of things, he has heard of Han Gang's name, and he entertained Wang Zhongzheng the day before yesterday, and he heard this name several times at the banquet.

"What kind of complaint does he hand over as a good official, and he can't come to the door to say something?" Li Yi felt a little angry in his heart when he heard this, and he was also a little puzzled, he stretched out his hand to ask for the complaint written by Han Gang himself, swept his eyes back and forth, and his face became gloomy, "Deliver the complaint and write the official body on it, what is this, you want to rely on your official position to let the government convict the Feng family?!" ”

Qingke saw that Li Yi was angry, so he hurriedly proposed: "Advice, do you want to dry it for two days first, Han Gang has an official, and he won't stay long." ”

Li Yi glanced at the complaint a few more times and shook his head: "This case can't be delayed, the charges are too heavy - it turned out to be a mother murder!" Maybe Han Gang deliberately wrote this, forcing the official to start the trial tomorrow. He raised his hand and threw the complaint aside, smacked his lips, and his expression remained unswerving, "This irrigation garden kid regards Fengxiang as Qinzhou." ”

"This is Feng Xiang! It's not Qinzhou! Chen Tongju was patting the table at this time, with an angry face: "Has Han Yukun been in Qinzhou for a long time, why is his temperament so domineering." This is a clear deception, where can the mansion be happy? Privately, I'll help him get things done. Who can be scared by such a big charge as killing his mother? It's a mess of things! ”

He glared at Murong Wu who was standing in front of him and said, "Han Yukun is doing this to provoke the anger of the public, how can this official help him now?" ”

Murong Wu was also complaining about Han Gang in his heart, he was too young and vigorous, and he handed over the complaint without saying hello first, and Liu Jietui might be smiling from ear to ear.

Liu Jietui now sneered in front of the three Feng brothers: "Why don't you worry about it anymore, Han Gang is asking for his own hardship." Thought that if you overthrew the three of Li Shizhong, you would be able to run rampant in Fengxiang Mansion? As soon as he handed over this complaint, Fengxiang Mansion wanted to give him a good look, but now there is not only one official. ”

Liu Jietui proudly tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and the sound of da- ”

…………………………

Because Han Gang, as an official, handed over an appeal to the Fengxiang Mansion and shouted for his fourth aunt. In the complaint, it was also pointed out that the violent death of Feng Li was very suspicious. Therefore, the prefect Li Yi had to come to try the case in person, and pulled the general judge and Jietui from the palace over to participate in the trial together.

After all, if all the words in the complaint are true, it is definitely a serious case that Fengxiang Mansion has steadily ranked first in recent years, so Li Yi cannot but be cautious. For killing his mother alone, no matter which of the three sons of the Feng family is involved, the most heinous result is inevitably to be cut by a thousand knives - this is a heinous felony.

The Criminal Department, Yushitai, and Dali Temple, the three legal divisions related to the criminal name, tried the case at the same time, commonly known as the three halls of trial. And today's case is the same trial of the prefect, the general judgment and the jiedu magistrate, which can also be said to be a small three halls.

Both the plaintiff and the defendant were brought to the court. A group of officials held red and black water and fire sticks, and stood still. In the center, the four brothers of the Feng family, as well as Li Zhong and Li Xin's father and son, all stood honestly, exchanging hateful glances with each other on both sides, and Han Gang had an official body, and he sat down with Zhang Zhengzi.

Soon, the jury Chen Tongju and Liu Jietui also arrived. Chen Tongju glanced at Han Gang, who stood up and saluted, shook his head, and sighed secretly. In his opinion, Han Gang's approach was a big taboo, putting on this arrogant appearance, sitting in the hall in official robes, and personally writing and delivering the complaint, which was tantamount to interfering with the verdict of the case with his identity, and the Fengxiang officials who saw him doing so almost all had the same hatred and hatred.

Liu Jietui was sneering and didn't greet Han Gang. walked up to Li Xin's side: "Li Xin, you injured more than a dozen people in the Feng family, but now you are standing in the hall in a big way." You don't know how to kill thieves for the country, but you come to beat up good people, are you ashamed! ”

Han Gang immediately defended Li Xin on the side, "The three brothers Feng Congli beat up their uncle, causing him to be bedridden. It is filial piety to give up one's cousin and son to avenge one's father; Surrendered afterwards and was willing to accept the laws of the country, and he also dared to act. And what the three brothers of the Feng family did was far from that of their cousin. Please also be aware of the section. ”

Han Fugou ...... No, it should be Han Jiyi now. When Liu Jietui talked about Han Gang's official name, he was full of sarcasm, taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, Liu Jietui's reputation in Fengxiang was not bad, he got the money yesterday, and now he is fighting with Han Gang regardless of his image, "Ji Yi Fang just said so much, I'm afraid it's still to compete for the Feng family's property!" ”

"I misunderstood." Although Han Gang's tone was modest, he would never back down in his words, "It is against the common way to sue brothers. If his cousin wants to submit a complaint for the sake of wealth, Han Gang will not spare him first. However, the cousin is to correct his mother's name, this is a matter of pure filial piety, how can there be a reason to sit idly by? ”

Han Gang had no intention of fighting for Feng Congyi's family property, which was time-consuming and laborious, and might not be successful. Fortunately, Feng Congyi would also look at people's faces, so he didn't bother to think of excuses.

The cousin is so knowledgeable and interesting, Han Gang is very satisfied, and his previous opinion on the son of his aunt's family who was discriminated against because of the two bastards of the second aunt's family has also changed a little. It just so happens that he now lacks a person around him who can do things and knows how to make goods, his cousin has been clothed and fed since he was a child, but after being kicked out of the house, he can still live smoothly, and he seems to be a good candidate - if Feng Congyi becomes a rich man, it will be difficult to drive him.

However, in order to let Feng Congyi return to his heart, he had to comfort his uncle who had suffered a loss, and more importantly, he had to deal with his mother after he went back, so Han Gang had to sell some strength and talk a little bit now.

He pointed at the three brothers Feng Congli and said sharply: "After the death of my aunt, my cousin Feng Congyi was kicked out of the house, and these three people benefited the most. And in order to hide people's eyes and ears, these three people also falsely said that the first aunt was not the main wife, and bought through the clan, so that the first aunt was humiliated under Jiuquan. Even if this lawsuit will last for ten or twenty years, Han Gang and Cousin She will have to redress their first aunt's grievances! ”

Han Gang's words were loud and awe-inspiring, Li Zhong, Li Xin and Feng Congyi nodded again and again, and the three brothers Feng Congli's faces turned pale and their lips moved, as if they wanted to refute. But the eyes of the officials who heard these words suddenly changed.

Han Gang only said that he wanted to clear his aunt's grievances, and would rather fight the lawsuit for twenty or thirty years than directly say that he wanted to seek justice - this remark itself is problematic. He wore official clothes to the court, and he looked like he was going to force the case to be closed as soon as possible, how could he talk for twenty or thirty years?

However, thinking of what Feng Congyi said earlier, not to have family property, everyone's eyes lit up suddenly. It's all about how many rolls have been played in the officialdom, and the hidden meaning in Han Gang's words quickly thought about it thoroughly.

When they looked at Han Gang again, their state of mind was completely different from Fang Cai. The green-robed Han Jiyi in front of him is a Qinzhou barbarian who is unsympathetic and only knows how to play tricks, and he is clearly a fortune boy who is lucky and profitable.

Han Gang's gaze swept over the pair of scorching eyes of the officials in the hall, as well as the Feng family brothers, the Li family father and son, who had not yet reacted, and sneered in his heart.

This is what he intended, the lawsuit is not to win, but to bankrupt the family. Anyway, my cousin doesn't want these family assets, so I just give them away.

Leave a good popularity in Fengxiang officialdom, let my uncle and cousin feel relieved, and make good friends in front of my mother. And Feng Congyi's side, although he said that he didn't want the family property, but when he saw that the three elder brothers could share the family wealth, he must have panicked in his heart, and Han Gang could turn them all into the same poor eggs, Feng Congyi was also happy - Zi said: Don't suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness.

As for whether this plan can succeed, Han Gang will not worry about it at all.

He knows best what kind of virtue corrupt officials are. It is no exaggeration to say that quails look for peas, herons split their legs, and mosquitoes dig fat in their abdomen. In a case, if the plaintiff and the defendant are not eaten cleanly, they will not let them go. Therefore, the people are afraid of lawsuits and enter the yamen, and this is the reason.

And since Han Gang has put his words here, and it is clear that he wants to send the Feng family's family property to him, what to do next, of course, the officials present will not be ignorant - especially the officials in the yamen, they want to delay the trial of the case, and there are all kinds of means.

Now it depends on how much money the Feng family has to buy it out. If Han Gang insists on winning the lawsuit, some people will say that he is relying on power to bully others, but if the case drags on for ten or twenty years, and there is no result, it is easy, and the officials who handle it must be willing - in fact, the crime of murdering a close relative, at most three or five years, is enough to make the Feng family poor.

At that time, whether the lawsuit is won or lost, Han Gang will not care now and in the future...... He looked at a group of jackals, tigers and leopards in the hall whose eyes were shining with a faint green light, as well as the prefect Li Yi who was staggering out from the back of the hall, lowered his head and grinned.
