Chapter 463: The Grievance of the White Goose
"There is a local family surnamed Zhang, the owner's name is Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Wenyuan is wealthy, and he is in the prime of life, he raised a six-room aunt in his own courtyard, and the family raised a variety of fierce beasts. This person has a wide range of contacts, and both black and white sell him face, which can be described as exquisite and majestic. ”
Li Canghai touched his chin and didn't speak, just listened quietly.
I heard Cao Zhengfeng continue: "This Zhang Wenyuan has a prominent family background, but the bad thing is that this Wenyuan is an out-and-out merry ghost, a few days ago, Zhang Wenyuan received the Oiran of the Fan Dai Pavilion in Yangzhou City and made the fifth aunt, so he thought about building a new 'Baihua Building' next to his own courtyard for him to play with his wife and concubine." And the land next to his courtyard is Lin Wei's field. Lin Wei made a living from farming, and the family relied on this thin field for food, so he naturally refused to sell it cheaply. Zhang Wenyuan threatened several times, Lin Wei just refused to sell the land, Zhang Wenyuan was angry, so he sent a house slave to beat him violently! ”
"Is there such a thing? Wouldn't this Zhang Wenyuan want to give more money and buy the field? Fushimi Hirohito was stunned, a little puzzled.
Cao Zhengfeng snorted indignantly and said: "This Zhang Wenyuan's family is rich, and he is willing to spend money on his wife and concubine, but he is an iron rooster who is a dime a dime to others, how can he take silver money to buy it?" Just because he is the righteous son of Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, who dares to ask him for money, and who dares to provoke him? ”
Li Canghai suddenly frowned and said, "You go on." ”
Cao Zhengfeng nodded, his expression became sad, he let out a long sigh, and continued: "After Lin Wei was arrested and put in prison, he was severely beaten, and although the elders in the town went out to intercede and released him, the goose stealing happened the next day. It turned out that Zhang Wenyuan raised a few big white geese at home, but he lost one that day, according to his subordinates, it was stolen by a pair of children of the Lin family, Lin Xiaomei and her younger brother Lin Xiaoer. Zhang Wenyuan found the Lin family's field, and sure enough, he found goose feathers in his field. ”
"What do the people of the Lin family say about this matter?" Li Canghai gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wooden wheelchair and asked in a deep voice.
Cao Zhengfeng sighed and said: "The people of the Lin family are naturally aggrieved, but Lin Wei was beaten and was unable to move, what can the sister-in-law of the Lin family do?" She said that her children have always been well-behaved and will never steal other people's things, and this goose feather must have been deliberately thrown in the Lin family's field to frame them. ”
"What happened after that?" Conan also frowned and asked.
"Where does the Zhang family care how the sister-in-law of the Lin family defends, they arrested a pair of children of the Lin family and went to interrogate, the two children were frightened, but they both said that they did not steal the goose. Zhang Wenyuan didn't believe it, he asked Lin Xiaoer: What did you eat today? Where could Lin Xiaoer stand such a fright, he was already frightened and overwhelmed, Xiao Er said vaguely, 'I, I ......', and this disaster really fell on the Lin family. ”
After hearing this, everyone felt strange, what kind of trouble can a word 'I' cause?
Li Canghai was also confused, he touched his chin and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Cao Zhengfeng slammed his fist on the table with hatred, and said angrily: "Lin Xiaoer just said 'I', but in this Wenyuan's ears, it has other meanings. As soon as he slapped the table, he immediately scolded: This kid has already been recruited, it is obvious that he stole the goose, do you still want to deny it? Zhang Wenyuan immediately called someone to report to the county office, and without saying a word, he locked Lin Laosi and imprisoned him in prison. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Zhengfeng let out a long sigh and closed his eyes tightly, thinking that what he saw that day must be a deep memory for him.
Conan frowned and said, "This matter is obvious, it is that Zhang Wenyuan deliberately wronged the Lin family and wanted to use it to blackmail the Lin family's field. ”
Cao Zhengfeng sighed: "Who said it wasn't, the sister-in-law of the Lin family knew that her children would not steal geese, so she went to Zhang Wenyuan to theorize, but she was beaten out by the Zhang family." She ran to the yamen again to complain about injustice, but was also blasted out by the officials. ”
"How can this servant be so barbaric? Doesn't this county order matter? Conan asked with a somewhat angry face.
Cao Zhengfeng took a sip and said, "This county order has been bribed by Zhang Wenyuan, and Zhang Wenyuan is angry with the same nostrils, how can he be the master of the Lin family?" The county order used all kinds of torture to torture Lin Wei to his death, which was simply not human. The sister-in-law of the Lin family tried all kinds of methods, and finally went to the prison to visit the prison, but when she saw that the flesh and blood that had not been beaten were blurred, and there was no breath in, she was anxious and simply cross-minded. ”
"But I don't know what this sister-in-law of the Lin family is going to do?" Although everyone had some bad feelings, they still had some doubts.
Two lines of tears suddenly slipped from the corners of Cao Zhengfeng's eyes, he gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "After the sister-in-law of the Lin family returned home, she dragged Lin Xiaoer with one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, called the left and right neighbors, and went to the ancestral temple together. ”
Li Canghai suddenly remembered the bloodstone in front of the ancestral temple, and his face suddenly became solemn.
He had vaguely guessed what was happening, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
I heard Cao Zhengfeng continue: "The sister-in-law of the Lin family kowtowed a few times in front of the ancestral temple and said: The ancestors are above, my child will never steal other people's things, he is only four years old this year, his speech is slurred, he can't speak clearly, he just said 'I' in front of Master Zhang, and Master Zhang wronged the child for stealing his white goose!" The little woman's family suffered a bad fate and sued the yamen, but they were blasted out. The corrupt official accepted bribes, made unclear decisions, and beat her husband's family to half death. Now the little woman has nowhere to say her grievances, so she has to avenge her ancestors! ”
"I'm afraid this sister-in-law of the Lin family is crazy, right? What's the use of asking God for vengeance? Conan frowned.
Cao Zhengfeng took a deep breath and said, "After the sister-in-law of the Lin family said this, she actually lifted the kitchen knife and cut Lin Xiaoer's stomach open with one sword!" But Xiao Er didn't have any goose meat in his stomach, only his sister and brother were very hungry, and they dug up a few wild thatchs from the field. Just because Xiao Er's words were vague, and when he was frightened, he said the word 'I' in a hurry, Zhang Wenyuan deliberately misheard him, wronged him for stealing the goose, and made Xiao Er lose his life in vain! ”
Speaking of this, Cao Zhengfeng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, endured his grief, and said: "The sister-in-law of the Lin family looked up to the sky and shouted, 'Wronged!'" After that, he hugged the body of the Lin family's junior and ended his life with a kitchen knife! ”
"What?! Is there such a thing? Everyone was surprised, and Conan jumped up directly.
"Poor Lin family of four, three died, leaving only a seven-year-old little sister. The little sister witnessed the tragic death of her mother and brother, and the blood of both of them stained the stones in front of the ancestral temple brown, and since then, the little sister has been constantly wiping the stones, trying to wipe off the blood on the stones. Cao Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth.
Li Canghai looked at him and asked, "Presumably, the injury on Mr. Cao's body is also due to Zhang Wenyuan, right?" (To be continued.) )
