Chapter 50: The Barren Mountain Incident

Early in the morning, Zhou Jingrong was woken up by a small but very rapid knock on the door. She lazily answered, but the people outside didn't hear it, and continued to knock on the door.

Zhou Jingrong opened her eyes and was about to get up to open the door, but found that her body couldn't move.

Is it a ghost press?

Of course, she knew that the ghost press bed had nothing to do with the word ghost, but her body was still asleep.

She moved, trying to wake up the cells and muscles in her body, but found that her body could move, but it seemed to be bound by something, and she couldn't break free, and there was a warm breath coming from the back of her neck.

Zhou Jingrong was so frightened that her sleepiness disappeared, and she struggled with her hands and feet.

"Hmm......"

The man behind him seemed to be dissatisfied with her struggle, and a long arm lifted up and moved from her waist to her chest, locking her tighter.

Zhou Jingrong looked down and saw a pair of long hands and feet wrapped around her body like vines, binding her tightly.

Men's, hands and feet?

Only then did Zhou Jingrong suddenly remember where she was.

This is Fujia Village, which is not more spacious than the Fu Mansion room, but also divided into inner and outer rooms. There is only one earthen kang in the room, there is no floor, the ground is also dirt, and she can't lay on the floor, so she can only sleep on the earthen kang with Fu Yunshen.

But last night, two people who slept on one side and were far away, why are they covered with the same quilt at this time?

Zhou Jingrong was tightly wrapped in Fu Yunshen's arms, and she was about to lose her breath, and she almost wanted to burst into a foul mouth: "Fu, Yun, Shen!" You loosen labor and management! ”

Zhou Jingrong unceremoniously pushed his elbow back, Fu Yun was deeply in pain, and his arm was slightly loose. She took the opportunity to take out her arms and sit up behind her, intending to put on her shoes and go to the ground.

Fu Yun was in a daze, and with a wave of his long arm subconsciously, he grabbed the person who was about to escape, and pressed the person with a turnover, looking at her condescendingly.

He is not fully awake, and his eyes are always as difficult to see through as a secluded pool on weekdays, but now they are rare and clear, with some misty fog and blankness, and the corners of his reddish eyes are slightly raised, cute and sexy, and provocative.

Beauty.

This is Zhou Jingrong's first impression of Fu Yunshen, and it is also the motivation to maintain a tolerant attitude even if she is annoyed by him in the later relationship, who will always be inadvertently amazed by his handsome face.

When the two of them came in, they saw this scene.

The man hugged the woman lightly, and looked at her affectionately, and the green silk like a crow feather was wrapped around the snow-white middle coat, as if the two people were integrated into one, as picturesque and beautiful.

It's obviously a normal picture, and there is absolutely nothing inappropriate for children, but for some reason, it just makes people blush and heartbeat.

Both of them turned red, and their first reaction was to hurry out and close the door.

What do they seem to be bothering us?

was stirred up by Xian Ge and Yayi like this, Fu Yunshen completely sobered up.

He hurriedly let go of Zhou Jingrong, honestly stepped aside, and explained worriedly: "I didn't mean to, I passed somehow ......"

Zhou Jingrong sat up and glanced at him with a smile, not believing that he was not premeditated.

He usually sleeps very honestly, and such a small couch has never fallen, how can such a wide kang be moved to her?

Oh, man.

Zhou Jingrong's scrutinizing expression of "I can see through you" made Fu Yunshen feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and a thin sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, for fear that she would misunderstand him as a person who was in a hurry, he was obviously a gentleman.

Yesterday she had just promised to try to get along with him, and although he was happy, he did not dare to be proud. How could he be too intimate with her without her permission?

Zhou Jingrong ignored Fu Yunshen's tangled desire to speak, and raised his voice at the door: "Come in." ”

String Song and Yayi are calming down outside.

Although Zhou Jingrong and Fu Yunshen have been in the same room for a while, Fu Yunshen got up early, and when they came in to serve, he had already packed up and went out, because they didn't know that the two slept separately, and they had never seen how the two got along.

This was the first time they had seen the boudoir of their masters, and the two who had not yet married were a little shy.

Hearing Zhou Jingrong's call, the two of them slowly pushed the door in, not daring to glance at their duties, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see.

Zhou Jingrong's sharp eyes noticed the red and swollen eyes of Xing Ge's crying, and her mood suddenly felt a little bad: "What's the matter, who bullied you?" ”

Xian Ge heard Zhou Jingrong ask, remembered the reason why she was in a hurry to find her just now, and cried again.

Her voice whimpered, and Zhou Jingrong only vaguely heard three words, dead.

Zhou Jingrong frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart: "Where is the dead man?" Who died? What happened? ”

Xian Ge only cared about crying, and he couldn't say clearly, or Yayi was more stable.

She took a step forward, and replied quickly but clearly: "Second grandmother, the tenants of Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city had a conflict with Zhuangzi's servants because of rent collection, and one of the tenants died. The county government has sent a servant to ask you to come over and ask questions, and you are waiting outside. ”

Zhou Jingrong was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to remember that there was still a barren mountain in her dowry. She was busy with her comics and the business of these shops all day long, and she didn't remember this stubble at all.

She asked, "Isn't it a barren mountain that has not yet been cultivated, how can there still be tenants?" ”

The specific details, Yayi is not clear, and he can't answer.

Zhou Jingrong's mood fell to the bottom, and an indescribable boredom enveloped her heart, making her a little irritable.

Fu Yunshen stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder, pinched it lightly and heavily, and said softly, "Let's change clothes first." ”

Fu Yunshen's voice was soft but powerful, like a clear spring soothing the turmoil in Zhou Jingrong's heart and calming her down.

Xian Ge and Yayi waited for Zhou Jingrong to comb, Fu Yunshen put on his clothes, and went out to call the wind of words and the world.

He intuitively felt that it wasn't easy.

The official actually chased to Fujia Village to find Zhou Jingrong, which shows how much attention the Song County Order attaches to this matter.

It is no wonder that the original population of Puhe County is small, and there are few crimes, and now a person has died in the conflict between the two parties, which is a big deal.

What's more, the Fu family and the Song family have a holiday, and I think that the Song County Order will not let go of this opportunity, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to make a fuss.

At this time, the official who came from the county seat was eating and drinking well under the warm hospitality of the villagers, completely ignoring the order of Song County to "arrest Fu Zhou's family as soon as possible".

Zhou Jingrong is not a murderer, he is just assisting in the investigation, so what is there to worry about.

Inside the house, Zhou Jingrong was also being pressed by Fu Yunshen to eat breakfast.

She was in no mood to eat at all, although she didn't care about Zhuangzi's affairs, but she was the owner after all. The ancient law is always sitting together, she won't be so unlucky, right?

Yan Feng, who had gone to inquire about the news from the officials, had already returned, and dutifully reported: "The tenants united to go to Xu Datian, the steward of the Zhuangzi, to ask for an explanation because of the landlord's rent increase, and there was a conflict with the servants of the village. Tenant Wang Sheng was pushed down in the scuffle, hit his head on a stone, and bled to death on the spot. ”

Zhou Jingrong frowned, she didn't remember those fields at all, how could she order a rent increase?

Fu Yunshen nodded casually, his mind still on coaxing Zhou Jingrong to eat.

Zhou Jingrong couldn't resist Fu Yunshen's gentleness and thoughtfulness, so she had to slowly stuff a xiaolongbao into her mouth, but she was affected by her mood and tasteless.

Most of the morning passed in a hurry, the officials were full of food and drink, and they couldn't delay any longer, and Shifeng also hurried back at this time.

"Master, Xu Datian Yuezhong bought a set of three-entry courtyards in the city. A few days ago, he made a marriage to his youngest son and gave the woman one hundred taels of silver as a dowry. Xu Datian's wife and daughter have often been in and out of Mingxiangfang to buy jewelry recently, and they have also gone to see the clothes on the water side. ”

Zhou Jingrong didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Shifeng would find out all the expenses of other people, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

Fu Yunshen contacted the cause and effect, and probably had a calculation in his heart, so he said to Zhou Jingrong: "Let's go." ”

The stakes are very high, and he can't figure out what's going on, he won't rashly hand over Zhou Jingrong to Song County.

The Fu family followed the officials back to the city, and because they were worried about Zhou Jingrong, they went to the county government together.

Song County Ling was already pacing back and forth anxiously, and when he saw Zhou Jingrong arrive, he immediately went up to the court.

There were two groups of people kneeling in the hall, one was the tenant who had sued Zhuangzi for rent increase and murder, and the other was Xu Datian, Zhuangzi's steward, and his servants.

Zhou Jingrong stood in the middle of them.

Song Xian Ling looked at Zhou Jingrong, who was standing straight, and shouted angrily: "Fu Zhou, above the public court, why don't you kneel?" ”

The corners of Zhou Jingrong's mouth twitched, this feudal society!

However, fortunately, Fu Yunshen had already anticipated Song County's reaction and taught her to speak in advance.

She said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "My lord, the woman is not a plaintiff or a defendant, but just a witness, why do you kneel?" ”

Song County Ling was dumbfounded.

Indeed, the law says that the court is majestic and that both parties are required to kneel before the trial, but the witnesses are not.

Strictly speaking, Zhou Jingrong is a defendant, but he is not a direct defendant, and Song County's order does not have a good grasp of this measure.

In fact, ordinary people don't understand this, and most of them will kneel when they see officials. Zhou Jingrong moved out of the law and despised his authority, presumably instigated by Fu Yunshen.

Song Xian Ling gritted his teeth angrily, and made a note in his heart for Fu Yunshen.

He didn't get Zhou Jingrong, so he simply took a surprise and directly convicted her: "Fu Zhou, the matter of renting land has been filed with the county government, and the rent cannot be increased without permission." You have raised the rent for personal gain, causing the tenant to die, can you plead guilty? ”

She didn't add the rent, and she didn't kill the person, so the Song County Order didn't investigate or ask why, and only put all the blame on her.

Zhou Jingrong lowered her eyes lightly, and couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.

After Fu Chunhua's incident, the Song family did not take any action. In addition to Mrs. Song's manipulation of Zhou Jingrong's business, she was also relieved by her.

She thought that the Song family was at a loss, so naturally she would not make a big deal about it, and the matter would be over, but it was as simple as she thought.

No, as soon as she got the opportunity, Song County Ling couldn't wait to slap her to death.

The laws of this era are not strict, there are many loopholes to exploit, if the Song County Order insists on her guilt and sentences her, she will have nowhere to go to avenge her grievances.

The legendary battle of bullying and using power for personal gain, she can be regarded as having experienced it once, heh.
