The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Feng Jingyao almost collapsed. He thought Su Jin was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that Su Jin had already reached a tacit understanding with the blind third master.

Su Jin used the time at noon to lead people straight to the mansion of the Blind Third Master. The Blind Third Master was hiding in the mansion tremblingly, not daring to show his face. How could he not know the big movement last night? He had an ominous premonition. The fire will burn on my head, who told me to have such a close relationship with Feng Jingyao back then?If the government can let him go, there is something wrong with him; if the four cities hadn't been sealed off, he would have escaped long ago.

Is it a blessing or a curse? A disaster can't be avoided. Although the blind third master was afraid, he didn't panic. He even thought up a lot of excuses to defend himself; but when he heard Su Jin's voice with his own ears, His sky is about to collapse; isn't the voice of the man in front of him the same as that of the masked man who broke into the second floor of Yulongxuan that night and forced him to reveal Feng Jingyao's whereabouts?Didn't it mean that Feng Jingyao had a grudge against killing his father and humiliating his sister?How did he suddenly become a special envoy?

After thinking about it for a while, the blind third master figured out the cause and effect. Su Jinda, the food envoy of affection, had planned a plan to deal with Feng Jingyao from the very beginning, and even for this reason he did not hesitate to use dirty tricks to invade his own house and use his own The grandson threatened him and even fed him poison to force himself to submit.

After figuring this out, the Blind Third Master no longer has the slightest rebellious mentality. This special envoy will do anything. Such a person is the most difficult to mess with. If you want to speculate on restraining this person, then you are wrong, and it is completely wrong.

Su Jin didn't hide anything, pulled the blind third master aside and confessed that he was the masked man who invaded Yulongxuan that night, and at the same time thanked the blind third master for his guidance. Only then can he move his hands and feet, although some mistakes have been made, but Feng Huo still falls.

The Blind Third Master suddenly realized that since the masked person is the special envoy, and the special envoy is the masked person, then in Feng Jingyao's matter, he should be regarded as a sinful meritorious service; looking at the special envoy's appearance, The expression of gratitude is also expressed in the words, so maybe the special envoy will not embarrass himself.

Su Jin originally didn't want to embarrass the blind third master. His goal was Feng Huhu. As for the blind third master, although he was once a helper for a tiger and a man who was unkind to the rich, there was no real murder or unforgivable crime at hand. ;Of course, it would be justifiable if An was accused of being an accomplice to Feng Jingyao.

Once things got to the point where there was no need to be too smooth, all that was left was to see the performance of the blind third master, and the performance of the blind third master was extremely satisfactory to Su Jin. Without hesitation, the man agreed to Su Jin to testify and expose Feng The many crimes of tigers.

Su Jin secretly admired the blind third master's decision. After all, it is an old fox who knows when to advance and retreat, and when to choose.

The blind third master's principle of action is that as long as he doesn't threaten himself, his brothers and friends are there. Once he is threatened, there is nothing he can't abandon; as for the nonsense of betrayal, guilt, and friendship, it's all nonsense.

As a result, Su Jin's well-meaning rhetoric was useless, and the two sides hit it off. Su Jin promised that as long as he testified, Feng Jingyao's crimes would be revealed to the world, and he would make sure that his blind third master and his family would live in peace. He will not be imprisoned; of course, Su Jin can't take him so cheaply, asking him to donate 100 million yuan to the national treasury as forgiveness money, and he is also assigned the task of rebuilding Daming Temple.

The Blind Third Master fully agreed. Originally, he had already prepared for the worst. For the sake of the lives of his family, he could even donate all his family property. Unexpectedly, the final result would be so wonderful; 100 million yuan and rebuilding the Daming Temple would not cost him much. With [-]% of the family property, after the incident, he can still spend the rest of his life nourished and nourished. The blind third master almost knelt down and called the envoy grandpa.

Su Jin magnanimously took out the "sugar bean antidote" to "detoxify" the blind third master, and the blind third master suddenly remembered that after taking the poison pill of the special envoy that night, the two prostitutes who killed him begged for mercy, I thought to myself, once this matter is over, no matter how expensive I am, I will buy the formula of the poison and the formula of the antidote from the special envoy; Useful, but specially designed to make the adult's poison effective for oneself, I have to say that it is a bit embarrassing and strange.

……

In the lobby of the high platform, Feng Jingyao stared at the blind third master with blood-red eyes. It seemed that the blind third master hadn't seen him. He kowtowed respectfully to Song Xiang first, then to Su Jin respectfully, and then One by one, they bowed their heads to the jurors on the stage, and followed Su Jin to Feng Jingyao.

"Master Feng, please stay safe." The blind third master cupped his hands.

"Hey, do you really want to testify for them? Don't you care about what other people say, don't you miss the old friendship?"

"Master Feng, you always look down on me. Do you know what your biggest shortcoming is?"

"You want to make up for me, aren't you? Isn't this old man just acting a little bit ruthlessly? Back then, you guys got a lot of benefits from following the old man, but now the trees are falling and the monkeys are scattered, and everyone will betray the old man. Are you still human?"

"Master Feng, it's meaningless for you to say this. Your biggest shortcoming is not that you are ruthless, but that you are too greedy. Do you know why the old man was willing to hand over the business in the city to you and keep a distance from you? It is precisely because The old man can see that your appetite is too big, like a tiger that can never get enough to eat, always thinking about how to get more money; the old man is different from you, the old man knows how to advance and retreat, and what is the speed, Excessive demands will eventually harm yourself, and today's fate just verified the prophecy of the old man back then."

"Hey, you're a villain, and you talk with a shy face. At first, you followed the old man's ass like a dog, but now you turn around and want to bite the old man. The old man doesn't know anyone, and he didn't recognize you, the wolf of Zhongshan. If you If I learned about it earlier, I will teach you to die without a place to die."

"Master Feng, don't say these things. I have never broken skin with you. It's just that you are so powerful that you are powerless. If I were you, I would accept my fate and do what I have done. You need to know that the yamen doesn't need to ask you about so many crimes, as long as one of them is proven, it is enough to separate your body, and why you need to confess one after another is because there are too many unsolved cases It's been too long, the officials need to solve these outstanding cases, please reward and exempt from punishment, do you know how many people you have offended like this? How much crime you will suffer later, I dare not even think about it."

Feng Jingyao sneered and said: "That's the old man's business, how is your dog going to bite the old man?"

The blind third master coughed twice, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Feng is so rebellious, I won't persuade you anymore, but I still want to remind you, for you, the government should have started collecting evidence of your crime a long time ago, you Even denying it is useless, there will be many people like this old man who will be called to testify, so that they can do it for themselves."

Su Jin looked at the heart-to-heart exchange between the two powerful figures in the past with a smile, and felt a little bit in her heart. The future of a person is never known, just like he himself cannot know the way of the future, but what you plant will bring you what you want. The words should be good; the circumstances of the two people today are different, and the degree of harm they did in the past is also different. If one person is redeemed, he will never dare to harm others again, while the other person has no chance at all.

The blind third master answered every question of Su Jin respectfully, and recalled all the details of Feng Jingyao's forced purchase of the shop at a low price.

During the process of his narration, Feng Jingyao cursed and shouted from time to time, and finally angered Su Jin, and ordered the Yamen servants to come forward and press him down on the grounds of roaring in court, stripped his pants and beat him with forty killing sticks; if it was Feng Jingyao The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, even after forty sticks, he can only open his mouth to breathe, and the sound of cursing is not much louder than that of a mosquito.

Feng Jingyao's methods mentioned by the blind third master are nothing more than making trouble, threatening, and framing. For the shop that he likes, Feng Jingyao will ask his men to watch at the door of the shop every day. Threats, as time goes by, these shops will be deserted, and when someone in the shop criticizes them, they will take the opportunity to fight; these thugs are all skilled in martial arts, who can beat them?Just let them practice.

Then Feng Jingyao would find someone to come forward to buy the storefront, and those who knew it would know that it was Longhumen who were causing trouble, and honestly transferred it at a low price, and suffered dumb losses by pinching their noses; It goes without saying that a succession of officials is under Feng Huo's control, so it's no wonder that the case can be sued and won.

Nine out of ten of these people who dare to file a complaint will be retaliated against, at least they will be beaten by unknown people, and at worst they will disappear forever.

Sun Wende, the owner of the shop on East Fourth Street, was a recalcitrant person. He was harassed day and night and escaped several times. Finally, he figured it out, so he sold his ancestral property to Feng Jingyao for a hundred dollars, and fled Yangzhou overnight alone. tracked.

There were also some people who closed their doors and did not do business and were unwilling to sell their shops. Feng Jingyao tried every means to seduce the descendants of his family, and patiently ordered people to befriend them until he lured them to the fireworks and willow alley or the gambling house. Either they owe huge sums of money, or suffer from all kinds of diseases, in short, they will not stop unless their family has no peace. The disaster of this family will not be considered to be over until the store gets a low price.

Many merchants in Yangzhou had to leave their hometowns to find a way out because their ancestral businesses passed down through generations were turned into running water. It is incredible that a local ruffian forced the locals to flee.

The blind third master spoke eloquently, and everyone gritted their teeth. The old men, old women, big ladies, and young ladies in the audience couldn't hear these tragic experiences, and they all felt the same and cried; while the men gritted their steel teeth one by one. Needless to say, oppression, some people heard these despicable methods of Longhumen for the first time, and let out muffled roars from their throats. If the officers and soldiers were not guarded tightly, otherwise, these people might rush to the stage and tear Feng Jingyao into pieces.

The blind third master rambled on for more than half an hour, and then he basically gave a general idea; the text wrote down the testimony and charges with ease, and asked the blind third master to sign the testimony; He took out half of Feng Jingyao's finger, stained it with red mud, and pressed his fingerprints under the confession.

"Third Master Blind, please step back. If necessary, the yamen will summon you at any time, and you must be there whenever you are called." Su Jin said lightly.

"Dare not to follow orders, my lords will leave!" The blind third master stepped off the stage under the guard of Tolerance, and never looked at Feng Jingyao, who was spread into a pile of meat, from the beginning to the end.
