Chapter 18: Return and Departure

Xu Hui was taken into a cell in Qingxi County, and after she entered the cell, she didn't eat or drink in the face of the food that was delivered, as if she was ready to leave this world like this.

It wasn't until Chen Feng told him that if he didn't eat well, he would withdraw his promise not to punish her mother, that she ate obediently, perhaps, only family affection is her only concern in this world.

In the following days, Chen Feng was still waiting for the news of Zhang Bogui and Zhou Fu's arrest of Hou Jiang.

At the same time, he was not idle, on the one hand, he still arranged for Tian Bozhong to try to see if he could find Lu Jin'an's incriminating evidence in Wutong Mansion, and he also went to Huangfu many times to catch up with Huang Anfu, and the so-called old love was naturally their way from the hands of Zhou Boqian to the present day.

In the later work of repairing the post road, Chen Feng didn't want to see this guy restless in secret, so he always had to knock on it.

One day, Zhang Bogui and Zhou Fu sent back a letter informing Chen Feng that they had captured one of Hou Jiang's subordinates and were also involved in the robbery of the silver, although the other party did not know where the official silver was hidden.

But tell Chen Feng exactly that because they joined forces with the major counties to blockade the post road, there was no way to transport the silver they robbed, and it was hidden in the mountains by Hou Jiang, but he didn't know where it was.

As a result, Chen Feng could only send people to search in the mountains.

Time came to May 11, and there was still no clue about the search for silver.

Chen Feng pinched the letter sent back by Xu Weiyang and sighed.

At this time.

In the drizzle outside, Shen Ruxuan came quickly holding an oil-paper umbrella, because of Huang Anfu's excesses in secret, Chen Feng had already disregarded his face, and directly replaced the head clerk of his office, so that Wang Yunchao could monitor nearby.

And his own paperwork was directly handed over to Shen Ruxuan, a person outside the county government.

In this regard, no one in the county government dared to say a word more.

Because Shen Ruxuan only mastered the actual work, Chen Feng, the real scrivener in charge, still arranged people, but the other party simply put on a name.

Therefore, it makes no sense for Huang Anfu to stab this matter to Lu Jinan.

"Big brother, Master Zhang's official letter and Zhou Gongzi's letter," Shen Ruxuan handed the two to Chen Feng's face, and his depressed mood rebounded.

He slowly unfolded, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Caught somebody?" Shen Ruxuan naturally didn't look at it in advance, there was wax on the official letter, and there was a seal on the letter, and it would be found if it was opened.

Of course, you can also change the envelope, but after changing it, the handwriting on the envelope must be as real as it is true.

A clear laugh had already told Shen Ruxuan the answer, and Chen Feng got up excitedly, "This case can finally be declared closed." ”

"So the official silver hidden by Hou Jiang has also been found?" The word "closed" quickly made Shen Ruxuan realize this.

"Yes," Chen Feng said with a smile: "Hou Jiang, this kid can't stand Lord Zhang's criminal law, he has already confessed the facts of the crime, and the location of the silver has also been confessed, you immediately arrange for someone to tell Weiyang and let her go directly to escort the silver back." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruxuan was a little puzzled, frowned slightly, and said, "Such a happy thing, won't the eldest brother go by himself?" ”

Chen Feng put down the letter, took away his smile, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and said, "I'll go see Xu Hui." ”

Shen Ruxuan's face also darkened, of course she knew Xu Hui's story, she was used because of bullying, she was resentful because of love, maybe her extreme idea of killing and revenge was crazy, but she always cared about her mother's filial piety but it was moving.

And in recent days, she has also visited Xu Hui in the cell with Chen Feng many times, Xu Hui still doesn't think that she killed the wrong person, but she knows that her behavior has brought Chen Feng a lot of trouble and affected the lives of the people in Qingxi County.

Because of the long delay, the construction period will become very tight, and more importantly, it is likely to affect the autumn harvest of the people.

She is also a peasant girl, so she naturally understands these truths, and she also regrets it a little in her heart.

"She should really want to see Hou Jiang Fufa," Shen Ruxuan took a deep breath.

Chen Fengdao: "But she is only afraid that she will go to the court with Hou Jiang." ”

Shen Ruxuan's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she looked at Chen Feng solemnly and said, "Can't you really spare her death?" After all, she was used, and Zhou Baina, Song Yuanwei, and Wu Xiaocheng were also at fault, and she was also a person of filial piety. ”

"I'm afraid it's impossible,"

The laws of this era are not so lenient, and killing people is basically punishable by death according to the law, not to mention that Xu Hui killed two people in a row.

Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Actually, you know the law of Jokhang better than me, although Zhou Baina and the three of them bullied Xu Hui, they did not cause any loss to her life at all, not even beating, and besides, what is wrong with Wang Hanwen?" ”

"Finally, the filial piety you are talking about,"

Picking up the oil-paper umbrella by the door, Chen Feng walked out, "She is not revenge for filial piety, if so, maybe you can consider it from this aspect, but unfortunately she is not, more importantly, until now, she has not regretted it." ”

The Jokhang Law stipulates that if you avenge your loved ones, you can be punished lightly.

"Can I go with me?" Shen Ruxuan didn't say anything more.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "Okay, leave the matter of notifying Weiyang to someone else." ”

……

County jail.

Chen Feng asked Yang Feng to arrange for someone to clean the prison very early, although there was no money to repair the potholed ground, but at least it was clean.

No dark dampness, no cockroaches and rats.

The two came to the cell.

But in the next moment.

An errand officer rushed out of the middle in a panic, his eyes didn't know where to look, and he almost bumped into Shen Ruxuan.

Fortunately, Chen Feng was quick and stopped the other party, "What happened?" Panic! ”

He didn't reprimand the other party for this, and his tone remained gentle.

When the messenger saw Chen Feng, he was amnesty, and said excitedly: "My lord, let's go in and take a look, it seems that the are not good?" ”

"No more? What does it mean to be no-good? Shen Ruxuan was very anxious.

"She's sick."

Hearing this, Chen Feng threw the umbrella into the hands of the errand officer and hurried into the cell.

When he and Shen Ruxuan came to Xu Hui's cell, they saw Xu Hui without pain.

The door of the cell has been opened, and when the cell boss saw Chen Feng coming, he could only stand by the door with his head down, and sighed in a low voice, "I'm sorry adults, Xu Niangzi is very sick this time, she didn't... Didn't make it through. ”

Shen Ruxuan had already rushed into the pulse, and her face was like a valley without relapse.

Chen Feng saw the result, but looked at the cell head in confusion and asked, "Didn't the official tell the doctor to dispense medicine for her, did she take it?" Did you help her? ”

The cell head was in a hurry, "My lord, had a seizure in the morning, and they gradually got better after taking the medicine as the previous times, who would have expected that they would get sick again this afternoon, but the little ones also rushed in time to help take medicine, but this time it was very serious, and were... Just..."
