Chapter 18: Grievances

Reading the last sentence, Jia Yucun already understood that this corresponded to the four families.

Although there are small words on it, for him who has just arrived in Yingtian, it still can't correspond to reality.

Wang Cheng is good at observing words and feelings, so he explained at this moment: "Master, the four families on the home page are related to each other, and all losses are losses and all glory are honored, and the support and decoration are all taken care of......"

"Uncle Xue, who Lord Hu takes care of intimately, is the 'snow' of the heavy snow in the harvest year......"

"You said that these four families are strong, but when you meet the Yanei of Zhenjiang Wei, don't you also suffer a dumb loss!"

It's not strange for Jia Yucun to think like this, otherwise it is really difficult to explain, why Xue Pan's attitude changed so much, and he suddenly decided not to take revenge.

"This ...... I don't know the little ones! ”

It's just that Wang Cheng would never have thought that the Xue family, whose pearls are like earth and gold and iron, will now worry about silver.

"Since the Xue family doesn't pursue it, can the son of the squire be put back?"

"The person who came to the Xue family to spread the word said that the young man of the Feng family would be released, but Lord Hu did not accept it, but tortured him to extract a confession...... He will be condemned to death! ”

"The Xue family's slave was killed by Zhenjiangwei's people?"

"Yes!" Wang Cheng nodded.

"That's interesting!" Jia Yucun picked up the teacup and took a sip of fragrant tea.

"I heard that the Feng family has a thin family, and Master Hu is only afraid that it is ......."

Wang Cheng didn't say the latter words, he believed that Jia Yucun understood.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and when Jia Yucun squinted and thought, Wang Cheng didn't speak again.

Faced with the current situation, Jia Yucun thought a lot.

If he had done it in the past, he might have acted impartially and stood up to stop Hu Jin'an's illegal acts.

But after being excluded and suppressed by his superiors by his colleagues, and finally impeached and removed from office, his benevolence dissipated.

Now, in the face of the lost and regained official position, he has become a slave with a black veil on his head, and the laws of justice are no longer important.

Becoming such a person, Jia Yucun himself is guilty, and the filthy officialdom is also responsible.

"Let him go, if something happens, he will bear it himself!"

Sighing, Jia Yucun shook his head helplessly.

As long as the silver can be made up and Hu Jin'an does anything, Jia Yucun can turn a blind eye.

…………

Ying Tianfu, inside the prison.

In the dark corner, Feng Yuan's face was withered, staring directly at the window on the wall, which was the only place where he could see the light.

From the son and brother who are dressed in fine clothes and jade food, to the prisoner who is now covered with injuries, it is only a day before and after.

In this day, Feng Yuan had experienced life and death, and he only felt that it was longer than in previous years.

Fresh clothes and angry horses, poor and extravagant, and idle, kept coming to his mind, and now he introspected Feng Yuan only felt that he had achieved nothing.

If he had followed the teachings of his deceased father and devoted himself to studying and studying, now he is only afraid that he has achieved fame, how can he be as mermaid as he is now.

The servant had made it clear to him that if he wanted to live, he had to take money, at least five thousand taels of silver.

This was all asked for by Hu Jin'an to make up for his shortfall.

Hu Jin'an of the Xue family can't afford to provoke it, and the people of Zhenjiangwei are also in trouble, but this Feng family has no power and no power, but the family has a lot of money in the township, so Hu Jin'an will not let it go easily.

To Hu Jin'an's surprise, Feng Yuan did not give in after several tortures, but carried it hard.

For this reason, Hu Jin'an ordered people to cut off his food and drink, and Feng Yuan had been hungry twice by now.

At this moment, Feng Yuan was not only in pain, but his stomach was also growling with hunger.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the cell, and the quiet cell was particularly harsh.

Feng Yuan didn't move, he was already so hungry that he didn't have the strength to move, and the injuries on his body made him not want to move.

It was normal for him to be unresponsive, and the other prisoners in the cell looked at where they came from when they heard the movement.

After a few breaths, a brown-robed officer appeared in the hallway, followed by two jailers, one of whom carried a food box.

"My lord, we have wronged you......"

"I beg my lord to bring a message to my family, and let my daughter-in-law go to my uncle's house to borrow money and dredge ......"

"My lord, when will my verdict come down......

The prisoners rushed to the room one after another, shouting loudly for their grievances, and the originally quiet cell instantly turned into a busy city.

There was a lot of noise around him, but this little official was unmoved, but came to the outside of Feng Yuan's cell.

"Shut up and go back...... Don't eat at night! ”

"Isn't it worth tidying up?"

While scolding, the jailer held a stick of fire and water and kept beating on the cell, so frightened that the prisoners retreated.

When the scene was quiet, the little official pointed to the door lock in front of him, and the jailer behind him immediately took out the key and stepped forward.

As a "high-end customer", Feng Yuan has a separate cell with tables and stools in it.

After entering the cell, the little servant found a stool to sit on, while the jailer opened the food box and brought out the food inside.

Roast chicken and braised vegetables, stir-fried bacon with bamboo shoots, the fragrance suddenly spreads, attracting the people around to look at it, and the throat is constantly surging.

Feng Yuan was no exception, just because he was too hungry.

At this moment, he could only try his best to turn his head to the side, and at the same time think of other things to divert attention.

"Bring him here!"

The two jailers moved sluggishly and set Feng Yuan up on a stool and sat down.

Seeing Feng Yuan turn sideways, turn to the side and bow his head silently, the little official poured a cup of water from the pot, and then pushed it in front of Feng Yuan.

"It's just that you are being tortured a little, why is it like this?"

"Human life is at stake, if you miss and die, your national law will not tolerate it......"

The two jailers were stunned for a moment, didn't you let you beat them? How to blame again now?

While the two jailers lowered their eyebrows and were being trained, the little official was staring at Feng Yuan, who still maintained his movements just now, unmoved by the outside world.

After thinking for a while, the little official said again: "Feng Yuan, I came here this time to help you......"

"You haven't eaten two meals, have you? These people are really excessive, and I will teach them a lesson when I look back......"

"You eat now, your business is actually very simple, sign and draw after eating, and you can go out in two days!"

Seeing that Feng Yuan still didn't react, the little official picked up the bowl and scooped a bowl of soup from the jar: "Come on, come on, drink some soup first!" ”

However, his enthusiasm has not yet been reciprocated, which makes the little official a little embarrassed.

Putting down the pottery bowl, the little official said slowly: "You have also read the book, don't you understand the truth of breaking wealth and avoiding disasters?" ”

"Money is precious, but what is it compared to your life?"

Picking up the chopsticks, he picked up a piece of pig's head meat and put it in his mouth, and the little official squinted and chewed.

"Fragrant ......"

Putting down the chopsticks, the little official continued slowly: "I flipped through the fish scale book in the afternoon, and I also know the details of your family!" ”

"Your Feng family is in the township, with 80 acres of first-class paddy fields, 130 acres of second-class paddy fields, and more than 170 acres of dry land......"

"At today's market price, if you sell these fields, it will be easy to raise five thousand taels of silver, and you can still have dozens of acres of land!"

Of course, although there are dozens of acres of land left, the Feng family will essentially collapse, and the efforts of seven or eight generations will be in vain.

At that time, even if he Feng Yuan can live on dozens of acres of land, he will be speechless to face his ancestors under the spring, and life will be worse than death.

This is also the reason why Feng Yuan is carrying it to death and does not sell his wealth.

A few years ago, it was ridiculous, and now he is in this field, he is no longer willing to continue to make mistakes and become a sinner of the Feng family.

Even if he dies, the family will have its own side branches, and the ancestors will not lack incense sacrifices.

"I said, you have something to say!"
