Chapter 548 Tell a Story

Feng Xiaoyao continued seriously:

"Forget it, those people hurt my brother's woman and sent people to assassinate her again and again, disturbing our peace. This matter must not be left alone."

Ji Fanyin smiled and nodded, indicating that she was listening carefully.

Feng Xiaoyao couldn't help but raise her thick eyebrows and said with a smile:
"So, I decided not to stand idly by anymore. However, I am obviously no match for those people, and I will definitely get hurt. Are you sure you want to watch me get hurt?"

Ji Fanyin looked at him dumbfounded:
"Feng Benben, can you be any more shameless?"

Feng Xiaoyao nodded calmly:
"Yes, so you have to protect me."

Ji Fanyin:
"Oh, you are quite a ghost."

Feng Xiaoyao pursed her lips, tilted her head innocently, and said:

"I'm most afraid of pain. If I get hurt, I'll tell Brother Qingchen that while he's away, you'll miss Leng Hongru and become ill."

Ji Fanyin:
"You are smart now, you know how to threaten me."

Feng Xiaoyao said without blushing or out of breath:

"This is called self-awareness. I know that I can't defeat myself, so I want to ask you to help me."

Ji Fanyin gave a very light "hum" and looked at him without comment.

Under her gaze, Feng Xiaoyao's cheeks slowly turned red, and she slowly lowered her head with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at her.

A smile flashed across Ji Fanyin's eyes, and she kept a straight face again:

"It's not difficult, it's just..."

"Just what?" Upon hearing that there was hope, Feng Xiaoyao raised her head expectantly.

Ji Fanyin lowered his head slightly, as if thinking, and said softly:

"Before I answer your question, let me tell you a story."

Feng Xiaoyao:

"what story?"

Ji Fanyin said slowly:

"A woman stopped the sweet son of a court official in the street and wanted to hand over a complaint.

Before getting married, her father kept her in a hut where animals lived. When she got married, his father sold her for a mere three taels of silver. After getting married, as the master's youngest concubine, she was favored for a few months.

But later, when he got tired of it, she was used as a gift again and was given to six people one after another.

The last one likes to use cruel means to entertain himself when doing that.She couldn't bear it anymore, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide, but was rescued from the river by the chasing servants. "Feng Xiaoyao couldn't bear to hear it:

"and after?"

Ji Fanyin said calmly:

"Later, as you can imagine, there was a servant who really took pity on her and let her go while the master was away. She found someone to write a complaint and wanted to seek justice for herself, so she made what I call a complaint on the street. The scene of the accusation.”

Feng Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief:

"fortunately……"

"Fortunately?" Ji Fanyin glanced sideways at him: "Feng Benben, I'm afraid you haven't heard of 'office accusation'?"

Feng Xiaoyao shook his head in confusion:

"What sir? What do you mean?"

Ji Fanyin whispered:

"Office accusation refers to the person who accuses the subject of the accusation against someone other than his family..."

At this point, she paused, and seeing Feng Xiaoyao's confused look, she changed to a simpler statement:

"Let's put it this way, harming others or stealing from others is a public prosecution. Parents killing or maiming their children or slaves without authorization are not public prosecutions. Therefore, cases where children sue their parents and concubines sue their masters are not public prosecutions. If you file a complaint, the government will not accept it."

Feng Xiaoyao opened her mouth in shock.

He seemed to understand this, but also seemed...not so understanding.

But there was one sentence that he understood.

"The government won't accept it?!" he exclaimed.

Ji Fanyin nodded:

"The officer who was stopped not only refused to accept the case, but in accordance with the law, he ordered someone to hit the woman's waist with fifty broad strokes."

Feng Xiaoyao's heart tightened instantly:

"Then, then...is she still alive...?"

Ji Fanyin replied in a very calm tone:

"Beat to death in the street."
