Chapter 87 Shen Feng has changed

Youjiachu was executed in the autumn period. Before that, You Hanting and You Shuchen paid homage to the court and wept with blood. They expressed their loyalty and begged for a retrial of the case to prove their innocence.

Some officials in the court either had personal relations with the You family, or were at odds with the Zhang family, or in order to be new and different so that they could be seen by the emperor, they also spoke for the You family and asked for the Holy Will to be reversed, but Qi Cheng refused all of them. .

Qi Cheng, in front of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, reused the Zhang family and Wen Yi again and again, suppressing the dissenting voices in the dynasty with a tough method.

The people in the court are not stupid, they are used to making decisions according to the wind. Seeing that the superiors are showing partiality, they gradually shut up.

The You family was isolated and unable to be rescued, and all the members of the family, including You Shuchen and You Hanting, were imprisoned and were punished for several crimes.

Although they had spent all their wealth before the execution just to seek a chance to turn around, and there had been some major or minor episodes, but Qi Cheng didn't nod, and the final outcome for the You family was certain death.

Qi Cheng issued an order and ordered Zhang Yan to be the supervisor and beheading official. When he was about to be executed, Shen Feng and Zhong Lan returned to the capital to see him.

You Shujin and You Shuchen, all young and old, knelt tremblingly on the execution platform.

Zhang Yan was wearing a purple official robe and a seven-jade black gauze hat. With stern eyes, he threw the token out: "The time has come for execution!"

Several executioners stepped forward and took down the signs tied behind several people. They raised their knives and dropped them, and the blood stained the execution platform red.

The scene was so bloody that Zhong Lan couldn't bear it for a moment and turned away. He happened to see Shen Feng looking indifferently and staring at Yin Hong on the stage expressionlessly.

Shen Feng came to his senses, hugged Zhong Lan and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

After the two got on the carriage, Zhong Lan held Shen Feng's hand: "Now, the previous matter is finally settled."

Shen Feng nodded without saying much.

The atmosphere in the car became colder again, and Zhong Lan said easily: "A few days ago, I accompanied my mother-in-law to the outskirts of the city. I saw that the land in the western suburbs of Taimin had been vacant for a long time. I planned to take over the land and plant some grain, vegetables and fruits to build a benevolent and righteous community." Porridge shed.”

Shen Feng nodded slightly when he heard this: "This is a good idea. Do you need me to do anything?"

Zhong Lan smiled and said, "I don't have much physical work for Mr. Shen. If I do, can I help you come and enjoy a bowl of porridge during the harvest?"

Shen Feng heard that Zhong Lan was thinking of ways to relax, and smiled slightly: "Okay."

The two of them returned to Taiming safely. Before they reached the city gate of Taiming, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Jiang Liu's voice came in: "Master, there is an old couple in front of us asking to see you."

Shen Feng and Zhong Lan looked at each other and got off the carriage.

Not far away, a hunched old couple was kneeling on the ground. Seeing Shen Yan and Zhong Yan got out of the car, they quickly got up and rushed towards the two of them, kneeling in front of them: "My lord, the grass-roots have a grievance." !”

Jiang Liu subconsciously tried to stop him: "My master is now Ding You and is no longer an adult."

"I have heard that Master Shen was not afraid of power and was considerate of the people when Qin Lin was an official in the capital. Has Master Shen changed now?" The old woman looked at Shen Feng with tears in her eyes.

Shen Feng was slightly startled and looked around, only to see a long pavilion not far away: "I am tired after traveling for a long time. Why not take a rest and go to the long pavilion. I will also listen to the words of these two old people."

The old couple cried with joy and supported each other and followed Shen Feng to the pavilion.

Jiang Liu looked at Zhong Lan with embarrassment: "Madam..."

Zhong Lan stared slightly: "Let's take a look first and then talk."

Several people settled in Changting, and the old couple talked about their grievances.

The old couple's surname is Dou. They are from Huanshui County, Lin County, Taiming City. They have a daughter. They have a [-]-year-old daughter who works as a maid in the county magistrate's house. Because of her charming and well-behaved appearance, the county magistrate takes a fancy to her and ignores the couple. Whether he wanted to or not, he sent a few taels of silver to his home and took the girl as a concubine.

The couple refused and wanted to get their daughter back, but they were beaten and kicked out by the county government servants. They had no way to appeal. They heard that Shen Feng was honest and upright. Now that Ding You was at home, they had no choice but to seek help from him.

Zhong Lan was a little surprised: this incident was exactly the same as the Gao case.

But there is still a difference. Back then, the Gao couple wept every word when they told the story, and even Zhong Lan couldn't help but cry. But now, the old couple in front of them don't have any look of great sadness on their faces.

She felt suspicious and frowned.Unexpectedly, Shen Feng pondered for a long time and said quietly: "Master of Huanshui County, could it be Master Lin Zhilin?"

"It's Lin Zhi, it's him!" the couple shouted firmly.

"I understand, you go back first, I will uphold justice for you." Shen Feng assured the couple.

After the couple thanked each other profusely and left, Shen Feng did not get up for a long time and sat in the pavilion without speaking.

"Are you going to help them?"

Shen Feng raised his head and looked at Zhong Lai: "Do you think they look like the Tan Lingao family and his wife?"

"But they are so similar." Zhong Lan wondered.

"So I can't let the daughter of the Dou family die in the Lin family like the daughter of the Gao family." Shen Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

"No matter what, you must find out the truth and make a decision before taking action. In the past, the You family was favored by Jin Shang. Now if you encounter such a thing again, you must have ironclad evidence and a meticulous and complete investigation process..."

"The process is not important, and I don't care about the process." Shen Feng looked at Zhong Lan seriously.

"This is true, whether it is investigated or not. Why waste time and effort to verify the truth that has long been known?"

"I only care about the results now." Shen Feng said calmly and looked indifferent.

"You are in Dingyou now. Be careful of what you do and someone else will take advantage of you." Zhong Lan was still worried and advised.

"I will, but in the face of saving people's lives, these are nothing. I can't let the incident where the Gao family's daughter lost her You family's life because of my hesitation happen again." Shen Feng stood up and ordered Jiang Liu came over and said, "Jiang Liu, go quickly..."

Looking at Shen Feng, Zhong Lan frowned slightly, said nothing more, and quietly turned around and returned to the car.

Shen Feng took care of the affairs of the Dou family and his wife, and ordered someone to take his order to rescue the Dou family girl.

A few days later, Wen Yi hurried from the capital.

When the concierge came to report, Shen Feng was still writing papers for the Dou family and his wife. When he heard that Wen Yi was coming, he asked someone to invite him into the main hall and wait for him to finish writing the paperwork before going to meet him.

Unexpectedly, a short while later, Wen Yi pushed in the door and asked, "Are you really in charge of Miss Dou's affairs at Mr. Lin's house in Huanshui County?"

Shen Feng looked at Wen Yi and nodded.

"Now Mr. Lin is going to the royal capital to sue you, do you know?" Wen Yi took two steps forward.

"It's just a ridiculous thing when Ding You took care of his family. I also have a lawsuit against him for seizing a civilian daughter." Shen Feng pointed to the lawsuit at hand.

"That's not the case." Wen Yi waved his hands hurriedly, "The Dou family daughter was officially admitted into the Lin family by him. Have you found out the truth? Then you rashly entered the Lin family to save people?"

There was doubt in Shen Feng's eyes: "The truth?"

Wen Yi stepped forward and poured a cup of tea and drank it. He took a breath and leaned in front of Shen Feng's desk: "That daughter of the Dou family was not honest. She had unclean hands and feet when she was working in the Lin family. She stole the owner's utensils and sold them. I was discovered by the Lin family a few times, but there was no heavy punishment, just small punishments and big warnings."

"Unexpectedly, she got worse and wanted to flatter Mr. Lin, but he scolded him twice. Later, she was taken advantage of and climbed onto Mr. Lin's bed. After the incident, she sought death and life, shouting that she was going to throw herself into the lake, forcing the Lin family to accept it. She. The eldest lady of Mr. Lin’s family is generous, and she also cared about Mr. Lin’s official reputation, so he agreed to take her into the house.”

"The Dou family also extorted a lot of money from the Lin family, and later went to the Lin family more than once to ask for money. Now they have spent all the money, and they failed to ask for money from the Lin family, which is why they became resentful. Danzhou Prefecture Yaxian Yamen Everyone who knows, it’s just because they are poor people, so they have no choice but to ignore it. You haven’t returned for a long time and don’t know about this, so you let them take advantage of the loophole."

"There are witnesses and physical evidence to prove this. The eldest lady of the Lin family was very clever and asked them to sign a deed when she gave them money for the last time. You didn't even ask, did you?" Wen Yi looked at Shen Feng in disbelief. go.

Shen Feng's eyes froze, and the pleading in his hand looked particularly ridiculous.

Wen Yi understood, sighed, and reached out to pat Shen Feng on the shoulder: "Mr. Zhang and I have suppressed Mr. Lin's lawsuit against you. I will handle the rest of the Dou family's life, so don't worry about it. . You didn't do things so recklessly and hastily before, why have you changed now? You are still Ding You, so you should think before you act."
