Chapter II: Confession

"Ah......h

Sister-in-law Wang screamed, hugged the little girl in her arms and closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at the next scene.

Wang Hai was full of guilt, seeing that Lin Feng was about to die in front of him, but he was powerless to stop it.

The two black-clothed men both had the corners of their mouths upturned, looking at Lin Feng with a playful expression, and they didn't care about Lin Feng's life or death, obviously, similar to the scene in front of them, these two big men had seen it many times.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Feng would definitely die.

Lin Feng's body stood up abruptly, and he turned sideways with a move that violated common sense, easily dodging Steward Wang's fierce palm.

At the same time, Lin Feng took a step forward and raised his left fist to slam Steward Wang's door, Steward Wang was shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

Lin Feng's speed was too fast, and the line of his punches was very weird, and he couldn't see it clearly.

The next moment, Lin Feng's fist was like a hammer, slamming into Steward Wang's face with a frightened expression.

With a muffled bang, Steward Wang's head couldn't withstand Lin Feng's full force at all, and exploded directly.

Fragments of brains and skulls splattered in all directions, and without even a word, the headless corpse collapsed to the ground.

This scene stunned everyone present, no one believed that the young man who looked weak just now had become a martial arts master in a blink of an eye.

What's even more weird is that at this time, Lin Feng's eyes only have the whites of his eyes left, and his expression is dull, like a lifeless corpse.

"Ghost ...... Hell. ”

A big man in black was the first to react, shouting and turning around and running.

The other big man was also awakened by the scream, and ran out of the courtyard with a ghostly look on his face, but after only a moment, he could no longer hear the footsteps of the two.

"Lin, Lin Feng, you, are you okay?" Wang Hai stammered and asked, he was taken aback by the strange scene in front of him.

I don't know when, Lin Feng's eyes have returned to normal, and he looked at the headless corpse in front of him with a blank expression, obviously not knowing what happened just now.

Wang Hai used all his strength, slowly got up, and was just about to speak.

I heard Lin Feng's muttering, "I killed someone?"

Seeing that Lin Feng had regained his senses, Wang Hai's heart finally let go and said, "Little Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to reach out so well, if it weren't for you, our family would have been harmed by this Wang Steward." ”

Hearing Wang Hai's words, Lin Feng had to admit that he had killed Steward Wang.

He took a deep breath, thought calmly for a moment, and said;

"Steward Wang, who relies on his power and oppresses the people, should have died a long time ago, Brother Wang Hai, sister-in-law, I can't live here, and the two people who ran away will soon come with people from the government. ”

"I know what to do, but what are you going to do when we're gone. Wang Hai asked with a guilty face.

"Brother Wang doesn't have to worry, they only know my name, and it's not easy to catch me. ”

"That's all it takes, damn it, hurry up and pack up, let's go. Wang Hai nodded, turned to Wang's sister-in-law and shouted.

After a while, Sister-in-law Wang packed up her things, and the four of them went out of the courtyard.

"Little Brother Lin, thank you for your kindness, take care. Wang Hai clenched his fists and bowed to Lin Feng and said solemnly.

"Brother Wang Hai, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive now, take care of your family!"

Lin Feng clenched his fists in return, and after speaking, he turned around and walked briskly in the direction of home.

Wang Hai's family of three watched Lin Feng's bleak back gradually disappear into the mountains and forests, and then turned around and walked away in the opposite direction.

When it was noon, Lin Feng walked into a small town, this town is called Sanlipu, and there are about four or five white households.

Lin Feng's family runs a small pharmacy in a small town, not to mention being rich and expensive, they can be regarded as eating and drinking.

Lin Feng walked into a street that was not wide, turned two corners, pushed the door and walked into a small courtyard.

"Feng'er is back, the meal is just right, come, wash your hands and eat. ”

As a sweet voice disappeared, a smiling beautiful woman, holding a plate of delicate stir-fried vegetables in her hand, walked out of the room.

The beautiful woman was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and her hair was held in a high bun with a wooden hairpin inserted into it.

Wearing a gray coarse cloth dress, tall and well-proportioned, with delicate facial features and dignified appearance, this beautiful woman is Lin Feng's mother Li Xuemei.

"Mother, come into the house. Lin Feng said lightly, and slowly walked into a room.

The beautiful woman found that Lin Feng was a little depressed, and the smile on her face slowly converged, and she quickly followed up in the house.

The room is not big, two or three zhang square, the furnishings are very simple, a square table, a few wooden chairs.

On a wooden chair, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a black robe sat upright.

This person has a fair complexion, clear eyebrows, and a three-inch beard on his chin, and he looks like a bit of a literati.

This person is Lin Feng's father, Lin Zhengsheng

"Feng'er is back, I went out to collect medicine these days, how was the harvest. Lin Zhengsheng asked softly with his hand on his beard.

Lin Feng didn't answer Lin Zhengsheng's question, and when Li Xuemei approached, Lin Feng knelt on his knees and buckled heavily on the two.

Lin Zhengsheng and Li Xuemei glanced at each other, both with blank expressions, not knowing why Lin Feng acted like this.

"Feng'er, what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhengsheng asked in a deep voice with a slight frown.

"yes, how come back is like a different person, what the hell has happened in the past few days. Li Xuemei asked with concern.

"Father, mother, the child is not filial, I ...... I killed someone. Lin Feng hesitated, but still told the truth.

"Huh?" Li Xuemei exclaimed, her face suddenly turned pale.

"Feng'er, what you said is true, this, what the hell is going on. Lin Zhengsheng hurriedly asked, his face full of disbelief.

In Lin Zhengsheng's opinion, Lin Feng, who has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, would never do such a thing as murder.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and told the whole thing as it was.

At this time, Lin Zhengsheng and Li Xuemei were both bloodless and stunned.

Falling off the cliff from a height of forty zhang without dying, and killing a martial arts master, they didn't believe that these things would happen to their sons one after another.

There was a long silence in the room.

Lin Zhengsheng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and slowly spoke, "Feng'er, my father doesn't know what happened to you, but you killed someone, this is a fact, go, go with your father to the yamen and surrender." ”

"No, you can't take Feng'er to turn himself in, although Feng'er is under the age of sixteen and will not be sentenced to death, but Feng'er can only spend most of his life in prison. Li Xuemei hurriedly stopped.

"Xuemei, you are confused, you want him to live that precarious and fearful life of fleeing from now on. Lin Zhengsheng scolded.

Hearing this, Li Xuemei had no words to refute, she had to admit that what Lin Zhengsheng said was the truth.

Instead of letting Lin Feng die in fear all day long, it is better to let him go to prison with peace of mind, and if he misses his son, he can still visit him in prison.

Thinking of this, Li Xuemei no longer objected, but just whimpered softly and kept wiping her tears.

"I listen to my father, please rest assured, I will turn myself in without my father's mother. After speaking, Lin Feng kowtowed three times to the two of them, got up and walked out of the room.

Lin Zhengsheng watched Lin Feng leave the courtyard gate, and couldn't help but sigh and slowly close his eyes, Lin Zhengsheng's face at this time was extremely haggard, as if he had aged a few years in a moment.

Li Xuemei looked at her son's distant back, and could no longer control her anxious emotions, and cried loudly.

Inside the three-mile shop yamen.

Lin Feng explained his intention to the two officials, and the two locked Lin Feng in the cell and locked the prison door.

"Let's go and tell your lordship, and your lord will hear your case at a later date. ”

A servant put down a sentence and left with an indifferent expression, obviously seeing Lin Feng's surrender more than once.

The cell was small and clean, with a bed-sized straw mat at the base of the wall.

Lin Feng sat on the straw mat with his hands on his knees, lowered his head, and guessed how miserable his future prison life would be.

"Don't think about it, young man. An old, slightly hoarse voice rang out.

Lin Feng looked up and saw an old man sitting cross-legged in the iron bars of the opposite cell.

The old man was in tattered clothes and unkempt, as if he had not taken a bath for a long time, his hair was gray and wrinkled, and he looked like he was sixty or seventy years old.

But the old man's eyes were black and white, and his gaze was deep, as if he could see through people's thoughts at a glance, which formed a sharp contrast with his sloppy appearance.

Lin Feng didn't answer the old man's question, frowned slightly and looked at the old man for a while, then lowered his head and continued to think about the second half of his dark life.

Seeing that Lin Feng didn't answer the question, the old man was not displeased, and continued to ask, "Murder, robbery, stealing." ”

Lin Feng raised his head and saw the old man's expression with three answers, at least one of them, Lin Feng replied angrily, "Kill." ”

"Well, it's a bit of guts. ”

Hearing Lin Feng's answer, the old man closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about some important question, and no longer paid attention to Lin Feng, and Lin Feng didn't care about the old man's strange behavior.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Feng's cell door was opened, and an expressionless jailer put a large bowl on the ground, locked the cell door and turned to leave.

Lin Feng glanced at the bowl on the ground, there was a pair of bamboo chopsticks in the bowl, two palm-sized, cornmeal cakes, and half a bowl of pickles.

"Well, no matter what, people have to eat. Thinking in his heart, Lin Feng picked up the big bowl and devoured it.

In this way, three days passed in a flash.

In the past few days, Lin Feng has slept except for eating, and of course, he has nothing to do.

And the old man in the opposite cell lived the same life as Lin Feng, but he never spoke to Lin Feng again, as if Lin Feng was air, and he didn't exist.

After a few days of silence, Lin Feng was already extremely bored in his heart, and he just wanted to take the initiative to talk to the old man to pass the boring time.

A servant walked up to the door of the cell where Lin Feng was being held and asked, "Are you called Lin Feng?" ”

"It's me. Lin Feng nodded yes.

"Come with me, your case will be heard today. ”

The official led the way, Lin Feng followed, the two went out of the cell, turned a few corners in the yamen, and the two arrived at the main hall where the case was heard.

On a wooden chair in the middle of the hall, there sat an obese middle-aged man in an official uniform.

On each side of the main hall stood three officials, all of whom had serious faces and looked ahead without squinting.

"Lord Zhao, the prisoner Lin Feng brought it. ”

After the official who came with Lin Feng finished speaking, he stood aside and listened to the instructions.

Master Zhao glanced at Lin Feng meaningfully, and said indifferently, "Lin Feng, the criminal process you confessed to has been verified by this official, and it is basically true. ”

"This is the testimony of the witnesses, and the autopsy of the deceased, if there is no objection, you sign it. ”

While Lord Zhao spoke, a servant handed Lin Feng a one-foot-square piece of yellow paper.

Taking the paper, Lin Feng took a general look, and the description of Steward Wang's corpse above was the same as the facts.

The testimony of the witness is that the two men in black saw the killing of Steward Wang, but they did not mention anything about the three of them going to Wang Hai's house to rob people.

In any case, his murder has become a fact, and there is no need to make fearless excuses, Lin Feng did not hesitate, his thumb was dipped in some cinnabar, and he pressed a clear red handprint on the word Lin Feng at the bottom of the paper.

Lord Zhao saw that Lin Feng was very happy to sign the charge, nodded, got up and cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice, "Lin Feng, since you have confessed to the crime you have committed, then the official will announce the sentence in the court." ”
