However, Shen Yan's good days will soon come to an end.

Because his case was quickly retried, even if Shen Yan refused to admit his guilt, Peng County ordered him to give him a verdict.

Because his hands were stained with human life, or perhaps to set an example, Shen Yan's sentence was very heavy, and he was directly sentenced to beheading.

It's just that Peng's county order is only a county order, and he does not have the right to execute criminals at will, so he can only submit the results of this case to the higher authorities in a document, which needs to be approved by his superiors.

The superior of Peng County's order is the prefect of Jiangding Mansion, in other words, now Shen Yan's power of life and death is directly in the hands of that prefect.

Lingyun Mountain's bandits have been around for a long time, and now, Peng County's order to eradicate the bandits in one fell swoop, he will sentence the punishment to a heavier level, not only to kill chickens and monkeys, to deter the young, but also to give the people an explanation, take the opportunity to make a name among the people, can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As for the prefect, Peng Xianling felt that he would most likely pass his own verdict, after all, the eradication of bandits was a major event, and it was reasonable to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.

What's more, those mountain bandits, including Shen Yan, have human lives on their hands, and it is not a pity to kill them.

Shen Yan was already a death row prisoner, so he was no longer allowed to visit, and the most disappointed were the jailers, whose opportunity to make oil and water and eat delicious food was gone.

Shen Yan himself behaved calmly, as if there was no need for life and death.

What surprised Shen Yan was the performance of those mountain bandits, there was sadness and panic in their expressions, but more of a sense of calm and resignation, as if they had already known the ending.

None of these outlaws are afraid of death?

Shen Yan actually didn't believe it, there must be a reason behind this.

Their death will certainly bring them greater benefits or benefits.

Shen Yan had this guess in his heart, but it couldn't be verified for the time being.

But soon, when they have captured the rest of the bandits, the answer to this question will be found.

The news that Shen Yan and several mountain bandits had been sentenced to death spread throughout the cell, and for a while, everyone's eyes that were originally full of envy when they saw Shen Yan suddenly turned into sympathy.

It turned out that he didn't have a few days to live, and he was forgiven for eating so well every time he ate before that, after all, it was a severed head meal, and one meal was missing.

After Shen Dazhu found out, he still didn't believe it, and when he confirmed that the news was true, he immediately stroked his palms happily and laughed.

"Retribution, retribution, this is really a great retribution! This is the fate of your unfilial piety, and it is God's punishment for you! God has opened his eyes. ”

Shen Dazhu was so happy that he almost forgot his form, and kept cursing and saying foul language in the cell.

These days, the people in the cell have already heard the story of their father and son.

Someone couldn't help but ask Shen Dazhu, "How can he say that he is also your only son, even if you hate him again, you shouldn't expect him to die, right?" ”

"That's right, he's dead, who will give you a pension in the future."

A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Dazhu's eyes.

"That rebel, will he give me a pension? It would be nice if he didn't want me to die.

I don't need to rely on him to support my old age in the future, I have a nephew who is promising, he is studying and living, and when he is admitted to fame, I will have endless blessings. ”

Shen Dazhu said, his expression full of pride.

Someone immediately laughed at him, "But didn't you say that it was your conscienceless nephew who caused you to go to jail?" Why do you think he's a good and filial nephew now? ”

Shen Dazhu's expression choked.

At the beginning, he was sent to prison as a scapegoat, and he hated the second room very much, although it was his good second brother and younger siblings who pulled him out to take the blame, but Shen Dazhu even became angry with Shen Jun, so naturally he scolded him together.

Now that so much time has passed, Shen Dazhu has long been discouraged, and naturally remembers Shen Jun's goodness, and wants to rely on him in the future.

He stiffened his neck and said, "What do you know? The relationship between our uncle and nephew is very good, even if there is an occasional disagreement, there is no overnight feud. ”

Shen Yan listened to his words, and only felt very sarcastic.

There is no overnight feud between their uncles and nephews, so there is a deep hatred between their father and son, and it has not changed for more than ten years?

Hearing that Shen Dazhu began to brag in front of everyone about how powerful Shen Jun was, and that he would definitely be able to be named on the gold list in the future, Shen Yan laughed.

When Shen Dazhu heard it, he directly began to blow his beard and glare, "You rebel, what are you laughing at?" Am I wrong?

Don't think that if you worship Cen Shan of Luming Academy as a teacher, you will be able to temporarily hold on to the Buddha's feet and be admitted to the imperial examination, and you will not pee on yourself, as far as your virtue is concerned, you are simply a fool's dream. ”

Shen Yan listened to his abuse and slander, but he was not angry at all, he said lightly.

"Even if I can't pass the exam, but your good nephew will definitely be no play, you may not know, he accidentally injured his hand, and the injury was still his right hand, I'm afraid that in this life, he may not be able to afford a pen."

When Shen Dazhu heard this, his whole person was instantly stunned.

He was completely incredulous, "You, you are talking nonsense!" is so dignified, how could Jun'er hurt his hand? The scholar's hand is so valuable, how could he let himself be hurt? ”

Shen Yan didn't say much, and directly put down the next sentence, "Love believe it or not." ”

Then he closed his eyes leisurely and recuperated.

The more he didn't say anything, the more anxious Shen Dazhu became, like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he wanted to know what was going on.

On the one hand, he felt that Shen Yan must be lying and deceiving him, and on the other hand, he felt that he was swearing by him, could it be that Shen Jun really hurt his hand?

He couldn't get an answer, so he could only scold Shen Yan again in his heart.

Thinking that he would be guillotined in a short time, Shen Dazhu's mood was a little better.

Shen Yan's verdict soon reached Sang Sang's ears.

Although he knew that they still had a backhand and would not really let Shen Yan have an accident, Sang Sang still couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

But Aunt Fu and the others didn't know the truth of the matter, and when they heard that Shen Yan was sentenced to death, it was like being struck by lightning.

Aunt Fu's voice couldn't help but tremble, "How is this possible?" Ah Yan is obviously innocent! ”

Uncle Hu also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, how could Ah Yan collude with those mountain bandits? Then why did the county magistrate judge indiscriminately if he didn't find out the matter? ”

Seeing that they were really anxious, Sang Sang felt a wave of emotion in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She didn't want to hide it from them, but this matter was extraordinary, and she couldn't leak it out at will before it was done, otherwise she might fail and fail.

Sang Sang could only comfort them in turn, "I also believe that Ah Yan has not done such a thing, and I believe that there is justice in this world, and I will definitely be able to seek justice for Ah Yan!" ”
