Chapter 8

The man who knocked down the Wu family's thug was naturally Feng Shi.

Su Jin calculated that Wu Youcai was narrow-minded and irritable and fierce. During the day, he deliberately said that Agui's injuries stimulated the other party, so as to lure Wu Youcai to commit another crime. Before leaving this morning, Su Jin asked her husband and Agui to hide in a donkey cart and use the sky to cover up his figure. Su Jin knew her husband's ability. As long as the hammer was in his hand, no more than ten strong men were the opponents. The couple set out with confidence.

Keeping in mind the instructions of his wife, Feng Shi only used three points of strength. The two thugs were injured behind their backs and it was difficult to move on the ground, but everyone was alive.

After subduing the two, Feng Shi immediately carried Agui to the ground. Agui was wearing the clothes he was beaten yesterday, and his face was still bruised and swollen. Su Jin wiped some blood on him and looked extremely miserable. He was ready. Feng Shi held down the two thugs who still wanted to run away. Su Jin took in his luck and screamed loudly: "Help, someone is hitting someone!"

This voice was louder than a rooster crowing. Not long after, neighbors nearby rushed out with lights.

Su Jin was already kneeling beside Agui, holding Agui's head and cried bitterly: "Neighbors, Wu Youcai bullied people too much, because my bun shop business is better than him. Yesterday he beat my friend. We had no evidence, so we had to swallow our anger. Unexpectedly, he sent someone to beat me again today! Look at my friend, what's going on? If my man hadn't been worried about following me, our master and servant would probably be beaten to death by them!"

After saying that, Su Jin lowered his head and cried bitterly.

Feng Shi next to him grabbed a thug with one hand, and a neighbor came forward with a lantern and saw him looking at him, and he recognized that the two were indeed two gangsters from the Wu family.

In fact, many people in Zhangcheng have been bullied by the Wu family, but everyone is afraid of the relationship between the Wu family and Li Qianhu, so they are tolerant. Now Wu Youcai dares to bully Feng Shi and his wife around Lord Xiao, so the fire in the hearts of the people is rekindled, and they are scrambling to encourage Feng Shi and his wife to sue the officials and exclaim their anger on their behalf!

This is what Su Jin wanted. After crying, she drove the donkey cart and pulled the miser's miserable Agui, and Feng Shi begged the two thugs from the Wu family. The couple went side by side to the county government, followed by a series of people.

The magistrate of Zhangcheng, Qi, was a five-point good and five-point bad official. He said he was good because Qi magistrate tried the case fairly. If two ordinary people came to complain, Qi magistrate would definitely make the decision for the good party. He said he was bad because Qi magistrate was very afraid of trouble. If the evil evil person had something to do in the officialdom, Qi magistrate would favor the other party and close the case in a confused manner.

There was a noisy situation in front of the county yard, and the back house was in the middle of the house. The magistrate Qi woke up from his sleep. He heard someone suing his old acquaintance Wu Youcai. The magistrate Qi yawned and said casually: "Tell them to go back first, and the yamen will open at dawn before coming."

The servant reminded outside: "Sir, the complaint is Feng Shi, who is beside Lord Xiao from Qianhu, Nancheng, and his wife."

Magistrate Qi was stunned, and the wife of the magistrate who was in bed woke up, looking at him in surprise.

Magistrate Qi frowned and said, "Everyone is the same, come again at dawn."

The servant took the order and left.

Su Jin refused to leave and covered Agui with a thick quilt. She simply placed the bun stall at the door of the yamen. While making hot buns, she said to the people who were following: "You are here to testify for me if you are helpless. I will not do business this morning. The buns will be out of the pot later, and everyone will have a share!"

The people were very happy to have buns to eat. They wanted to go home, but now they insisted on staying to cheer for the couple.

There were so many people that I ate buns and talked about Wu Youcai’s evil deeds. When the sky gradually became brighter and the yamen opened, the county yamen was already crowded with people.

Qi Magistrate was promoted to the church.

The people were watching outside, Feng Shi picked up Agui with a bruised nose and walked in with Su Jin. The two thugs were twisted by the yamen runners and rushed in.

In front of everyone, Magistrate Qi had to follow the rules and ask Feng Shi and his wife what the lawsuit was.

Feng Shi closed his mouth honestly, Su Jin pointed at the two thugs with a small hand and cried and told him about passing by.

County Magistrate Qi asked the two thugs again: "Is it true that Su tells you that the two of you were ordered by Wu Youcai to commit murder?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the two thugs.

The two thugs were in a terrible state. First, they almost vomited blood after taking Feng Shi's hammer. They followed him like Feng Shi drove a pig. They knelt for more than an hour at the coldest dawn of the day. The iron-killing person couldn't stand it, let alone the two ** mortal fetuses. One of them was stunned and asked and answered whatever they asked and nodded tremblingly. The other was a little rational, with his teeth shaking and shaking his head to complain.

Su Jin angrily scolded: "You beat my friend Agui, everyone can see that. Do you still dare to deny it?"

"Silent!" County Magistrate Qi knocked on the gavel heavily.

Su Jin had no choice but to shut up.

County Magistrate Qi saw that the two thugs were so stupid that they sent someone to bring two bowls of hot water.

Su Jin bites his lip.

Sure enough, the two thugs recovered after drinking hot water. Because they admitted the crime of beating people on the scene, they insisted that they were not happy with Agui, and it had nothing to do with Wu Youcai. As soon as the two finished speaking, Wu Youcai arrived and pretended to scold the two of them, and generously stated that as the master, he was not strict in control and was willing to compensate Agui for the medicine.

Su Jin was dissatisfied and asked County Magistrate Qi to interrogate the two thugs again carefully.

The two thugs repeatedly insisted that it was their own idea.

Wu Youcai said to Su Jin helplessly: "You have heard all the wife of the Feng family. Do you think they confess? Do you want to use the punishment of the adults to make people lie?"

Su Jin raised his head and looked at Magistrate Qi and said, "The first time the adults asked for a crime, one of them had clearly confessed that he had been instructed by Wu Youcai. The civilian woman believed that when a person was drunk, he would unconsciously reveal the truth. The complaint was not advisable. The civilian woman only asked the adults to continue interrogating and not to convict easily, and missed the mastermind."

She has the right and the evidence. The magistrate Qi looked at Feng Shi and ordered people to put the two thugs in prison and retrial tomorrow.

The people dispersed, and Su Jin and his wife took Agui back to Qianhu Mansion.

When Xiao Zhen saw Feng Shi's expression, he knew that the result was not satisfactory.

Su Jin went to take care of Agui, and Xiao Zhen asked Feng Shi alone about the situation in the yamen. Feng Shi said angrily: "If the dog official in the county magistrate Qi had not been argued with Jin Niang, he would have favored Wu Youcai!"

Xiao Zhen has been in Zhangcheng for half a year and is familiar with the character of Qi County. He was silent for a moment and asked Feng Shibeima to go to the military camp.

Feng Shi did as he did, and told his wife before leaving.

Su Jin didn't think too much about it. Xiao Zhen was a thousand households, so it was normal to go to the military camp.

However, shortly after leaving Qianhu Mansion, Xiao Zhen ordered Feng Shi to go to the county government to pass on the message. Feng Shi was overjoyed and immediately urged his horse to go to the county government government.

The county magistrate Qi had just sent off Mrs. Wu, but the newly obtained two taels of silver had not yet warmed up. When he learned that Feng Shi was leaving and returned, he felt a stern heart. He hid the silver and ordered someone to invite Feng Shi to the hall. The maids brought tea and water to serve him.

Feng Shi didn't take this trick. When he saw the magistrate of Qi, he spoke directly, and his voice was like a loud bell: "Mr. Qi, our magistrate of Qianhu said that he hated the collusion between officials and the people and oppressed the people the most in his life. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what happened in the case of my wife and the Wu family. If the magistrate of Qi cannot enforce the law impartially, he will write a memorial to send it to the capital and ask the court to send someone to investigate thoroughly."

After saying that, Feng Shi stared at the magistrate Qi with warning and rushed away angrily.

Magistrate Qi was stunned in the hall.

The magistrate’s wife just eavesdropped in the side room, and now she came out to persuade him: “Everyone knows that Lord Xiao is a wise and upright person, and can say that he can do it. If you favor the Wu family this time, he will really make trouble in the capital. In the end, not only will the Wu family be unlucky, but your black hat will probably not be able to be saved.”

County Magistrate Qi frowned and pinched his forehead and said, "Will I not know his temper? But the Wu family and Lord Li..."

"Can Lord Li compete with Lord Xiao?" The magistrate's wife interrupted him and whispered: "Lord Li is smooth in his work. Wu Youcai is just his confidant brother. Today, Wu Youcai takes it upon himself. Even if you deal with him, Lord Li can understand. When you meet in the future, you lower your posture and please me. Lord Li will never really embarrass you. As for Lord Xiao, he will not accept the gifts when you go to give away. If you dare to protect the traitor against your conscience, he will definitely be entangled to the end. That is the real trouble."

When interacting with people, you are not afraid of things, but you are afraid of things.

Magistrate Qi looked at his wife and finally made up his mind to interrogate the two thugs from the Wu family overnight that night.

To deal with such brute force, why should the magistrate Qi use to punish them? Just tongue alone, he said earnestly: "You know the truth of the matter better than anyone else. Agui is seriously injured. According to the law of this dynasty, Wu Youcai is the mastermind and should be punished for three years. You two are accomplices and two years of prisoners. Yes, there is not much difference between the two, but Lord Xiao said, if I don't act impartially, he will send you two to the capital and hand them over to the Jinyiwei for interrogation. Do you know the Jinyiwei? As long as the prisoner enters, he will peel off his skin even if he doesn't die. At that time, you will suffer all your hardships and will still recruit Wu Youcai and add another crime of forging testimony to contempt the law."

The two thugs' faces turned pale. Lord Xiao actually wanted to send them to the Jinyiwei?

The magistrate Qi observed his words and said, "Of course, you will tell the truth tomorrow morning. If Lord Xiao is satisfied, he will naturally not pursue it again. Two years later, you will be released from prison and are afraid of being retaliated by the Wu family. You can leave Zhangcheng or go to join Lord Xiao. I heard that Lord Xiao admires the brave men very much. You two are tall and strong. As long as you change from evil and follow the right, Lord Xiao will definitely take it in. In the future, you will make contributions on the battlefield and be glorious. Isn't it better to be a tiger?"

The two thugs looked at each other and were all moved.

The next day, the county government tried the case. Before being promoted to the court, the county magistrate Qi sent someone to return the two taels of silver that the Wu family had collected to Wu Youcai.

Wu Youcai felt something was wrong at the time. When he saw two thugs, he frequently winked, and was extremely fierce.

But no matter how fierce he is, he is not as frightening as the Jinyiwei's reputation.

In front of the onlookers, the two thugs explained Wu Youcai's process of instructing them to commit the crime.

Wu Youcai shouted for injustice.

The magistrate of Qi sent a yamen runner to arrest the third witness, Guy Wu. After a slap, Guy Wu also confessed.

The magistrate of Qi sentenced Wu Youcai to prison and served three years of labor under the pretext of "buying evil spirits and hurting people".

When Wu Youcai was taken away by the yamen runners, Su Jin smiled, finally avenged Agui and breathed a sigh of relief for himself.

In the evening, Su Jin cooked and prepared a table of good wine and dishes.

"Thank you for supporting us." Su Jin picked up the wine bowl and toasted Xiao Zhen with a smile.

Xiao Zhen never drank with a woman and said, "The Wu family bullies others, but I just see injustice on the road, so my brother and sister don't have to thank you."

He was serious, Su Jin did not force him to drink his own.

After a bowl of wine, Su Jin's pretty face turned red, her beautiful eyes shining, and her charming charm became even more intense.
