Chapter 362: Together
This shocking sound shocked everyone.
Zhao Wenhua, who already felt that there was no drama, suddenly became energetic. The conscience of heaven and earth, this divine turning point was really not arranged by him in advance! It's definitely the patriarch's on-the-spot play!
Fan Yang was even more shocked, and his amorous face suddenly lost his blood color, like a wooden man, looking blankly at Fan Wu kneeling beside him.
In that look, there was surprise, despair, and more deep sadness. Come to think of it, she thought that many people would backstab herself, but she couldn't think of this person.
This man must have been her favorite, and when he hugged her, he must have said a lot of affectionate love words, and maybe gave her some very special gifts, such as heart-shaped stones, newly written songs, etc.
Xiao Feng watched this scene silently, his heart churning with anger, but on the surface, he was not at all silent. But Princess Chang'an in the big RV couldn't help it and scolded angrily.
"Bastard! A man like a pig and a dog! Sister An, cut him for me! ”
Fan Wu lowered his head, no one dared to look at it, the patriarch Fan Jian nodded with satisfaction, and then saluted Xiao Feng again.
"My lord, now that I have a witness, please judge the case impartially!"
Xiao Feng ignored him, and turned his head to look at Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites: "Lord Shangshu, may I ask what can be done with her husband if she commits adultery with a woman according to the law of etiquette and is caught by her husband?" ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stunned for a moment, twisted his beard and said: "My lord, according to the etiquette law, his husband is not guilty of killing on the spot. ”
Xiao Feng sneered and looked at Fan Wu: "It seems that you don't care much about the Eighty Board, too, you."
It's so strong, it doesn't matter if you think about it on eighty boards.
And even if you and Fan Yang are also hit by the board, you can still live a good life when you go back, and someone will cover you. Fan Yang is different, even if he is not immersed in the pig cage when he goes back, he will not be able to live in Zhuangzi. ”
Fan Wu still lowered his head and didn't speak, obviously acquiescing, Xiao Feng took a breath and turned his gaze to Fan Yang.
"Fan Yang, if it is possible, let you and Fan Wu die together, are you afraid?"
Fan Yang had already bit her lower lip out of blood, and the tears in her eyes had dried up, she glared at Fan Wu fiercely, and slowly spoke, covering her resentment.
"My lord, if the adult can fulfill the slave family and avenge this great revenge, the slave family will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay the adult."
Xiao Feng straightened up and looked at the patriarch Fan Jian: "You and Fan Yang's husband's family are all from the same family?" ”
Fan Jian said proudly: "This is natural, otherwise I don't have the right to take care of his family's affairs!" ”
"Then this Fan Wu and Fan Yang's husband is the family of the first service?"
Fan Jian did the math: "My lord, it's the fourth suit." ”
Xiao Feng exhaled: "That is, it hasn't come out of the five suits yet, and it can be regarded as a blood relative." The Book of Rites, how does the Da Ming Law stipulate? ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also understood Xiao Feng's intentions at this time, and he twisted his beard and nodded slightly.
"The Ming Law stipulates that if there is adultery with relatives within the five suits, such as the wife of a brother or the wife of a brother's son, both parties to the adultery will be hanged.
If he commits adultery with the wife and concubine of his father's father, or with the wife and concubine of his own descendants, both the adulterers shall be beheaded. ”
Fan Wu's face turned white all of a sudden, and he looked at the patriarch in horror, what is the situation, you were before
Didn't tell me else about it!
Fan Jian was also blinded, and he didn't know so fine. It must be known that this kind of adultery before, very few of them went to the government to talk nonsense, and they were all dealt with in the clan according to the clan rules.
Therefore, everyone in the clan, including the patriarch, is not very clear about how the Great Ming Law regulates the crime of adultery in detail.
This time, I was subject to the new law and had to go to the government to go through the motions, hoping that the government would agree to continue to deal with it according to clan rules, but I didn't expect that Da Ming Law would convict relatives of adultery so heavily!
Xiao Feng looked at Fan Wu and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, you did not hesitate to sacrifice your life in order to maintain the atmosphere of the township, I really underestimated you."
I'll let people prepare to be hanged, Fan Wu, you are so handsome and so young, if you want to live a good life in the future, there should be many girls who like you.
It's a pity, you are young and you are about to die by hanging, and it is unknown whether you will be able to be a human being in the next life.
But don't worry, I believe that you will become a maggot, and you must be the most handsome. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Xiao Feng said that it was a pity, but he turned over and got on the horse and was about to go forward, Fan Wu's face turned pale, and he frantically pounced on Xiao Feng's front legs.
The horse was frightened and kept bounceing its legs, trying to bounce him away, but Fan Wu hugged him very tightly and neighed.
"Adult, adult, villain is nonsense, villain is nonsense! The villain has never had an affair with Fan Yang, and the villain is talking nonsense! ”
Xiao Feng frowned: "You have to think about it before you talk about it, nonsense is also guilty, you have to be beaten on the board, and it hurts to hit the board, if you want me to say, you might as well hold on and hang yourself."
It's also a pleasure. ”
Fan Wu shook his head frantically: "No, no, no, the villain is willing to take the board, willing to take the board!" The villain is talking nonsense, and he deserves to be beaten by the board! ”
Xiao Feng smiled and looked at Ying Tianfu Yin: "Since this person can change his mistakes, don't be too heavy when you beat him, and it can be regarded as the court's reward for his repentant heart." ”
Ying Tianfu Yin was already so impressed at this time that he nodded again and again, without hesitation.
Xiao Feng looked at Fan Jian: "Patriarch? Do you still have a witness? ”
Fan Jian looked at the more than 20 men who came with him, and these men collectively took a step back, and then suddenly found that everyone had retreated, and he did not open the gap, so he collectively took another step back.
Xiao Feng nodded, and suddenly understood how the involution came about.
"Fan Jian, as the patriarch, you are responsible for the weathering of the clan, so this official does not blame you for being in a hurry and blocking the road to complain.
But you have to be clear, if a slap doesn't make a sound, even if Fan Yang is suspected of frivolity, what about the men in your township who have an affair with him?
You have to dip women in pig cages at every turn, but you are so tolerant and generous to men. What's more, as a patriarch, you are highly respected, and you also intend to get involved, let alone not.
The official doesn't care about the affairs of your clan, but if you instruct Fan Wu to commit perjury, his crime will not escape, and if you are the mastermind, his crime will be even heavier. ”
Fan Jian wanted to cry without tears, he glared at Fan Wu viciously, but Fan Wu escaped death at this time, and he couldn't help but be happy, how could he care about him.
Fan Jian glared at Fan Yang again, Fan Yang was not afraid, his eyes looked straight at him, but he looked at him with his head down, and his heart was secretly ruthless.
Xiao Feng rushed to An Qing
Yue nodded: "Take Fan Yang's family, come with us, Fan Jian and Fan Wu, hand them over to Ying Tianfu, and you can go home after playing the board." ”
In the city of Nanjing, there is a mansion specially prepared for the governor of Jiangnan, at this time it is still early before dinner time, Xiao Feng and others go to the governor's palace to rest and change clothes.
As soon as Xiao Feng entered the house, he hurriedly asked people to call the Fan Yang family. Princess Chang'an pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Feng sourly.
"I don't think you're looking at that Fan Yang's eyes......"
Xiao Feng smiled, ignored her, and waited for the Fan Yang family to come in and kneel, Xiao Feng said lightly.
"There is no one else here, let's be honest, is Fan Yang having an affair with a man in Zhuangzhong?"
The whole family looked at each other, and finally the mother-in-law spoke: "The grace of the adult to save his life, the wife and the family are hard to repay, and they dare not deceive the adult, the daughter-in-law was born with a strange disease, it is indeed ...... Have a bone in one's throat. ”
Fan Yang's was already bound up at this time, and An Qingyue also took her to wash her face, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like spring water, and she glanced at Xiao Feng with disgust and joy, her face was red.
"My lord, the slave family was originally from Jiaxing, and a few years ago, the slave family was still young, and when he went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, he met a strange person.
His face was full of hair and beard, gray and unkempt, and he flew up and down the rocks, and he caught me at once. Then he said that I was a beautiful billet, but unfortunately it was not a good furnace.
He took me into a cave and put a pill in my mouth, and I was so hot and itchy that I was ...... Ruined me.
Then there was a woman in the cave, who was not wearing clothes, and she said that you should take people in at will, and the holy envoy knew what was going on
。
The strange man asked the woman to throw me into the cliff, disguised as if I had fallen from my footing.
I was so frightened that I was dying, and the woman took me out of the cave to the edge of the cliff, and released me, and told me never to come up again.
Since then, I have had a strange disease, and when I don't touch a man for a few days, my heart is itchy and my whole body is itchy. I took a lot of medicine and didn't get better.
Later, the Japanese invaders made a fierce fuss, and my father was killed, so I fled with my mother to Nanjing, but my mother froze to death, and my mother-in-law saved my life.
My lord, the slave family knows that he is lewd by nature and knows no shame. But the slave family has never done anything bad and has never harmed anyone. Those men took the initiative to seduce the slaves.
The real righteous man and gentleman, the slave family is far away, and he does not dare to provoke him, nor does he want to harm the reputation of others.
There are men who send money and food, and the slave family rarely asks for it, preferring to feed their in-laws with their hands.
Fan Wu and the slave family are the best, several times said that they would take the slave family to escape, said that they would take the slave family to live a good life, but the slave family was reluctant to let go of the in-laws and husbands, and refused to agree. I didn't expect him to ......"
Xiao Feng listened quietly, without interjecting a word, until Fan Yang hid his face and cried, he slowly spoke.
"You're not horny by nature, you're the way you are today, it's about that pill, it's about that person, I've seen a girl who looks like you.
It's a good thing you didn't elope with Fan Wu, otherwise I'm sure you must have been sold by him at this moment. Even if he doesn't sell it, he doesn't have a good heart, you have filial piety and benevolence, this is good retribution. ”
Fan Yang's husband coughed, with a blush of shame on his sallow face: "My lord, in the final analysis, the villain is still incompetent,
I can't help my mother, so I have to let my mother be ...... by other people's tongues."
Xiao Feng frowned, the words were good, how could it feel a little wrong. He coughed, putting his train of thought back on track.
"Now you have two choices, one is to go back to Fanjiazhuang to continue to live and live, I can let Ying Tianfu take care of it, and don't let people bully you, but Fan Yang's illness, I can't cure it.
Second, I will write a letter to you, and ask Ying Tianfu to send someone to send you to the capital, and when you get to the place, go to Yan Niang in Chunyan Tower, and ask her to arrange your life.
Fan Yang has this disease, and before there is no way to cure it, he will work in Chunyan Building, but I am afraid that it is the best arrangement at the moment. But if you are worried about honor, there is no way.
In any case, find a way to live first, as long as people are alive, there is hope, and there will always be a day when they can be cured. ”
The family looked at each other, just for a moment, Fan Yang's husband kowtowed first and said: "The villain is willing to listen to the arrangement of the adults and take the family to the capital, the villain is not afraid of people's jokes, as long as the family can live well!" ”
Fan Yang also nodded with a red face, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law hesitated for a little longer, but finally nodded. Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chunyan Mansion is different from other Qinglou, if you don't want to, just tell Yan Niang, she won't force you to pick up customers.
As for your husband, his illness may not be incurable. There are many doctors in the capital, let Yan Niang help find it, if your husband is cured, you may be able to leave Chunyan Tower.
Here are three Qingxin pills, you can keep them for the road to eat. Although it can't cure your illness, it will take some time to go to the capital, and it can help you relieve your pain. ”
Fan Yang's Shane took the elixir,
Xiao Feng pointed to the pen and paper on the table, his expression solemn.
"What is the name of that mountain in your Jiaxing area, do your best to remember, and write down the location of the mountain and the famous things around it."
Seeing off Fan Yang's family, Xiao Feng changed his clothes and took Zhang Wuxin to Zhao Wenhua's reception banquet. As for Princess Chang'an, because her eyes were swollen from crying along the way, she didn't have much appetite, so she stayed in the mansion and didn't go.
At the reception banquet, the attitude of Nanjing officials towards Xiao Feng obviously changed a lot. Especially Ying Tianfu Yin, the Criminal Department Shangshu and the Rite Department Shangshu, the smiles on their faces were much more sincere.
Normal people always admire the strong, and there is always human nature.
In Fan Yang's case, of course, there are factors that Zhao Wenhua pressured and asked to give Xiao Feng a problem, but in fact, these three did not reach a consensus on punishment.
They all know that there is a high probability that Fan Yang's fornication in the township is true, but they are also men, and with their experience, they deeply understand that if those men are unwilling or even take the initiative, Fan Yang will not be able to take off their pants.
Putting on the pants and blaming all the sins on the woman is of course a routine operation for men, but other men actually understand the woman's wrongs in their hearts and are willing to forgive.
What is surprising is that people who often refuse to forgive women and think that their sins are caused by women are often other women, and they still do it from the heart!
Therefore, it is rare to be sober in the world like Princess Chang'an.
The biggest problem faced by these three officials was that they knew in their hearts that Fan Yang was the lifeblood of this family, and if Fan Yang was finished, this family would all die. this
Cause and effect, they don't want to buckle their heads.
But if you want to favor Fan Yang's family, you can't do it with concubines. After all, there are many people and many witnesses, Fan Yang's defeat is almost decided, and the laws and family rules are all there, how to protect it?
So they pushed it back and forth, and it happened that Zhao Wenhua wanted to clean up Xiao Feng, so they pushed the boat down the river and threw it directly to Zhao Wenhua to deal with.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng didn't even rise to the court, so he simply solved the problem on the side of the road, not only saved the Fan Yang family, but also made people unable to find fault, which is too good.
Ying Tianfu Yin Guan is considered a lover, a few glasses of wine in his stomach, seeing Xiao Feng more and more pleasing to the eye, he secretly whispered when he toasted Xiao Feng.
"My lord, have you ever heard of the North believing in the Tao and the South believing in Buddhism? Although long live the worship of Buddhism today, but in the land south of the Yangtze River, Buddhism has a deep foundation and has won the hearts of the people. ”
Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't move on the surface, just smiled and drank the wine, and gently patted Ying Tianfu Yin's arm.
Seeing that the dinner was coming to an end, Zhao Wenhua stood up and led everyone to toast Xiao Feng with a glass of wine, and then smiled and spoke.
"Lord Xiao, Xia Guan has been preparing for the arrival of adults all the time in Jiangnan these days.
Everyone can testify that the lower officials, whether in the officialdom or the people, all preach that the adult is the first person in the Taoist sect today!
The performance of the lower officials in the capital was vigorously promoted, and everyone in the officialdom and the people admired it. But there is a mad monk who doesn't know what to do, and threatens that Taoism is a small way, and Buddhism is a great way.
The lower official was furious, and he was going to punish him on the spot, but thinking about it, it seems that the government should not intervene in such a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
What's more, this mad monk is quite famous in the land south of the Yangtze River
, rash disposal is also afraid of arousing public anger.
Therefore, the official was abrupt and asked the mad monk to wait for a few days, and when the adult arrived, he could teach him a lesson in person.
When the adults arrived in Nanjing today, the people knew that they would call the mad monk to the hall of Yingtianfu tomorrow and reprimand them in person? ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Feng's face to see how he responded. With Xiao Feng's identity at this time, if he is unwilling, he can refuse.
But if this matter spreads, not to mention that the people of Jiangnan will laugh at Xiao Feng, even Jiajing will be dissatisfied with Xiao Feng.
You are the first person in Taoism, and everyone in Buddhism points their noses and despises you, and you actually retreat, isn't this a loss of the face of the entire Taoist?
Xiao Feng poured himself a glass of wine, looked at Zhao Wenhua with a smile, and drank it all.
"Let him come, I'll see if the talent you Lord Zhao has found will be more powerful than Yan Shifan."
