After a while, Cheng Luojie came back, crying, and after she came, she didn't say anything, or even look at Zhu Peng, because Leng Yi had already explained to her, and she couldn't let Zhu Peng's people see that she had hatred for Zhu Peng, so as not to affect the revenge assassination operation later.

When Zhu Peng saw Cheng Luojie coming back, he was very worried and didn't dare to ask more.

Cheng Luojie called Leng Yi aside and whispered what she had heard.

Things are really different from what Zhu Peng said, the debt is real, and it is also a fact that the maid wants to pay off the debt, but the death of the maid's father was done by Zhu Peng and the thug nurse, and they punched and kicked him, and the maid's father was forced to agree to use his daughter to pay off the debt. After signing the deed of sale, the maid's father felt guilty and died on the spot.

Although the maid's father died by suicide, it is directly related to Zhu Peng's beating and coercion to sell his daughter. However, if you use this to cure Zhu Peng's crime, it will be difficult to achieve the goal, after all, the maid's father committed suicide because of his guilty daughter. And the case that the maid forged is also difficult to use to punish the crime, because the maid has been sold to Zhu Peng, it is his maid, according to the provisions of the Song Dynasty Criminal System, the master kills the maid, and the treatment is reduced, and he can only be sentenced to exile if he is condemned to death. Especially in terms of evidence, it can be done here in Leng Yi, Yinling County, and it must be reported to the prefect to the Criminal Department of Dali Temple, and finally reported to the emperor for review. Evidence does not stand up to scrutiny.

So, Cheng Luojie decided to start preparing her plan to avenge the maid. Since the king can't rule his capital crime, he can only do the right thing for heaven himself!

Zhu Peng and the nursing home carried the maid's body into the door of the maid's house, the maid's family was doing the father's funeral, and the daughter's body was sent again, which made the family cry to death.

In order to earn performance, Zhu Peng took two nursing homekeepers to kowtow in front of the maid's father and the maid's corpse to admit his mistake, and slapped himself himself. The maid's family was stunned. Then, Zhu Peng's family members who followed him took out five hundred taels of silver for the compensation and asked the maid's family to accept it, and the maid's family was even more frightened and at a loss.

Leng Yi revealed his identity as the county magistrate, and the Yahuan family realized that it was the county magistrate who supported them. They all knelt down and kowtowed gratefully.

After Leng Yi and the others left, the family was in a daze around the large pile of silver, thinking about it, but still worried that Zhu Peng would find trouble in the future, so they buried the maid and father, and then simply packed their bags, didn't want the broken grass house, and went to distant relatives.

With this huge amount of money, he bought a field and farmed by himself, built a new house, and since then the family has lived a healthy life.

Leng Yi and the others said goodbye from the maid's house and returned to Hongsong Village, where it was already the middle of the night, and they stayed at Zhu Peng's house.

The next day, Hongli of Hongsong Village got the news, and he rushed to visit the county magistrate with sweat on his forehead. Zhu Peng has never seen the magistrate, and the lieutenant naturally has.

Leng Yi looked at him kneeling below, and said in an official tone: "Hong Lichang, your realm is not very peaceful, this county Weifu paid a private visit, and was actually stabbed and robbed by bandits at the suspension bridge!" They cut the rope and wanted to fall to death in the county, the chief must know about this, right? ”

As soon as Hong Lichang heard this, the magistrate of the county believed that he was in collusion with the bandits who assassinated the county, and he trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "The bandits and robbers of the Yinling Tomb are rampant, these robbers are bold and reckless, and they dare to assassinate the adult, they really deserve death, and the little ones must find out the truth and bring them to justice!" ”

"That's good!" What Leng Yi wanted was this, and said coldly, "This county is limited to you to solve the case in three days!" If you can't break it, the county will remove you! ”

That Hong Lichang is just saying that, expressing an attitude, I didn't expect Leng Yi to use the topic to play, and he actually solved the case within a time limit, the chief is only responsible for collecting taxes and arranging labor and other things, not responsible for solving the case, but he said it casually before, and the county knew that it was serious, Hong Lichang couldn't help but secretly complain, as soon as the words came out, it was difficult to take it back, and his face was red for a while, and he said: "This ......, three days ......, too, too short, right?" ”

Leng Yi slapped the armrest and scolded: "Bastard! It's not you who stabbed the emotional thief, you're not worried at all, are you? This county almost died under the drawbridge valley of your Red Pine Village, and giving you three days is already a very graceful time, otherwise, this county can immediately cure you for harboring a thief and murdering the court officials! ”

Hong Lichang suddenly sweated on his forehead, he heard that this Zhixian is a nerd, and he can't beat a fart with three sticks, he didn't expect it, but it turned out to be so powerful. I don't know what to do for a while.

Leng Yi pointed to Zhu Peng, who was standing next to him, and said, "Zhu Yuanwai was also present at the time, and he was scared half to death, right?" ”

Zhu Peng hurriedly nodded with a smiling face.

Leng Yi said again: "I also heard in this county that you have set the list of relief funds for the poor people in your village to your relatives and friends, is there such a thing?" ”

"No ......" Hong Lichang was about to deny, when he saw Zhu Peng next to him looking at him and shaking his head, he knew that this county was prepared, and he must have found out before this, so he quickly changed his words and said: "Yes, it's the villain's fault, hey, it's all these relatives who say that they are also difficult, the villain's ears are soft for a while, and if you listen to them, the villain will definitely change it immediately!" Change it immediately, let those who have received money withdraw their money, and give all the relief money to those poor people in the future. ”

"There are a lot of poor people in your village and neighboring villages, many of them are destitute, to the point of selling their sons and daughters, which is a pity. -- Zhu Yuanwai has done a good job in this regard! After listening to what the county said, he suddenly came to his senses and immediately decided to take out the money and give 5,000 wen to each poor family, and 15,000 wen to each family who were forced to sell their children and daughters! That's righteousness, right? Inside. ”

Hong Lichang's eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine that Zhu Peng, who was a dime long, would take out so much money and give it to the people at once.

Zhu Peng didn't dare to show the slightest unhappy look, for fear of extraneous branches, but just made a generous appearance of righteousness and squandering money.

Hong Lichang understood in his stomach that the magistrate mentioned this, and he also asked him to take the initiative to take the money to settle the matter, this time the magistrate was in distress in his village and almost died, if he didn't break the money, then he had to solve the case, and he didn't have that ability. These robbers who kill people without blinking, he doesn't have the guts to provoke them, although he can also find the prefect to settle this matter around the bush, but the money spent is only afraid that it is not less than this, and it also offends the county magistrate, and he has no reputation for taking out the money.

Hong Li said: "Since Zhu Yuanwai can fight for righteousness and squander money, the villain will naturally follow, but the villain does not have as much money as Zhu Yuanwai, so he will give half of it, what does the eldest master think?" ”

Leng Yi doesn't know how much his family wealth is, but he knows how to bargain, and he can't say as much as others say, not to mention, if he can take out half of the money at once, he won't be poor. Then he said lightly: "The governor is modest, your family wealth, the county still knows, in fact, the people who are relieved are also from your village, you, the head of a village, should help the people of the village, but if you are reluctant to pay, then forget it, the county does not force it." Since you are unwilling to help the people, it is not suitable to be the head of a village again, and you ...... the position of head here."

Hong Li was in a hurry, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Master! The villain, the villain is willing to donate seventy percent of Zhu Yuanwai's funds to save the people, big man, this is all the villain's belongings. If you take it again, the villain will have to rely on others for relief. Please be gracious. ”

Leng Yi smiled and said: "Okay, it's decided, you two prepare the money and send it to the yamen to hand it over to Master Dong, it will be done in two days, but it can't be delayed, the New Year is coming soon, and many families are waiting for money for the New Year." ”

The two hurriedly agreed.

Leng Yi said again: "By the way, those poor people who sell their children should owe you a lot of debts, and you have a lot of money, so you don't care about this money, right?" How about forgiving their debts entirely? ”

The two were dumbfounded, looking at each other, this is a huge debt, if it is all forgiven, and there is a large piece of family wealth, it is really more uncomfortable than digging out the heart, but the handle is held by others, if you don't come up with money to eliminate the disaster, the consequences will be more serious than now. The former tax resistant, who was not a member of the government, was taken down by the county magistrate for punishment, and finally died of robbers and robbers.

The two had no choice but to grit their teeth and nod with a bitter face: "Yes, the villagers, if you can help, you can help a little." ”
