After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Liang Wu came back and told his master the news he had learned. Qian Jin became more confident and believed in Yuan Qi even more.

"Little Taoist Priest, let's go find Feng Youxiao's mansion first and then settle down nearby. Let's talk tomorrow?"

Yuan Qi's eyes sparkled. Qian Jin was indeed a smart man and could keep his composure.

Besides, Dai Zhan'an took his guards and servants and went directly to the prefect's Yamen. He asked the servants and guards to hide at a distance and not show up.

Although he didn't believe what Yuan Qi said about being jailed, he still had to be careful just in case.

"If I am caught, you should go back home and tell my wife to go find the little Taoist priest."

The guards and servants agreed and hid in the dark.

Dai Zhanan walked to the yamen gate alone and said to the yamen servant at the door: "I am the father of Dai Yunlei and Dai Yunfeng. I want to see the prefect."

As soon as the yamen heard this, he immediately went in to report it. Not long after, Zhan'an met Feng Youxiao.

Feng Youxiao, a thirty-six-year-old civil servant with a mustache and a blue official robe, came out from behind with anger.

"You actually dare to deliver it to your door?"

Although Dai Zhanan had a great fortune, his status was very low.

Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, merchants are the last, they will kneel down when they see an official.

If it weren't for the low status of the businessman, even if the craftsmen and farmers were more respectable than them, he would not have put all his efforts into letting his son study.

Although he suspected that his son was unjustly accused, he did not dare to challenge the prefect. He could only kneel down obediently: "Prefect, I am Dai Zhan'an, the father of Dai Yunlei and Dai Yunfeng. I want to see my son and ask him clearly. The reason. Master, my son is not that kind of person, he will never kill someone."

Feng Youxiao snorted and gave a heavy slap: "Don't defend your son. My servant saw your son beating my son to death with his own eyes. The certified evidence is all there. There is nothing to say. I have decided to ask questions in three days." cut."

When Dai Zhanan heard this, he became anxious: "Who doesn't know that your son was born weak and took medicine three times a day? Who knows if your son died because of a recurrence of his old disease? It has nothing to do with my son!"

"Your son doesn't want to make progress. He looks for people to fight with crickets everywhere. He gets into fights with people every now and then. He's so naughty. If your son wasn't cruel by nature, how could my son fight with him? It's also true that you don't know how to teach your son. Someone come and take care of you. Put him in jail!"

Dai Zhanan was panicked. He was not here to reason with the magistrate. He wanted to use his wealth to buy his son's life. He shouted: "Master magistrate, I was wrong. Don't do anything. My son is naughty. I know. I know that I am not good at discipline. But the person has passed away, so let’s sit down and talk about the funeral.”

Feng Youxiao waved his hand, and the Yamen servant stood back.

Dai Zhanan took a few steps forward, stood next to the table, and whispered: "I have been selling salt for many years and have accumulated some family property. Although it is not much, it is still three hundred thousand taels. I am willing to use all my family wealth in exchange for the life of my child." Magistrate Master, no matter whether my son is deliberately cruel or not, this matter is related to my son, I admit it, but can you give my son a chance..."

Feng Youxiao was also a little tempted. His son had a heart disease, and the doctor had long said that he would not live to be eighteen years old. Now that his son was seventeen, he could live for so many years. He did not know how much snowflakes and silver he spent on it, and he carefully raised it every day. Perhaps my son died today due to a heart attack.

In fact, it has little to do with Dai Yunlei, that is, he was unlucky enough to catch up.

If my son dies, he will die. If I can get 300,000 taels...

"Mr. Prefect?"

"Wait a minute, I have to..."       "No!" came a woman's sad and angry voice.

Dai Zhanan looked over and knew that this woman was the wife of Magistrate Feng. He felt cold and knew that this matter could not be done.

However, Magistrate Feng is not a henpecked person, so the woman may not have the final say.

Mrs. Feng rushed over with staggering steps and scratched Dai Zhanan.

Dai Zhan'an did not dodge, and allowed Mrs. Feng to scratch her face until she was embarrassed. As long as it could dispel the anger in the other party's heart, it was okay for him to get hurt a little.

Magistrate Feng sighed deeply, thinking about the three hundred thousand taels. He would never earn so much in his life. He had spent a lot of money on treating his son over the years. Although he occasionally made some money, he still wanted to keep it. Don't dare to hold back too much of this black gauze hat.

The money he collected was due to the merchant's mistakes. He took the opportunity to extort money, but he did not dare to be too blatant to avoid being reported.

Magistrate Feng and Mrs. Feng had a similar relationship. They had several concubines and several concubines and concubines.

Besides, he knew many years ago that Feng Zhizhang would not live to be eighteen, so he had already been mentally prepared for the death of his legitimate son Feng Zhizhang, so he was not very sad.

He stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Feng away: "When will the trouble be over? Isn't it enough to beat Dai Yunlei and Dai Yunfeng?"

Mrs. Feng collapsed and screamed: "He didn't teach his son well, so his son beat Zhizhang to death. I want to avenge my son!"

Feng Youxiao asked the government officials to lock up Dai Zhan'an first, and he took his wife to the back hall.

"Madam, you also know what Zhizhang's body looks like..."

Mrs. Feng knew the virtues of her husband. She had attached great importance to the education of her concubines in the past few years, and she might have given up on Feng Zhizhang long ago.

But she only had one son, not even a daughter. Once Feng Zhizhang died, she lost her fighting spirit to live.

She screamed at Feng Youxiao: "I know what you want. You have long been looking forward to Zhizhang's death so that you can have the power to train those bastards of yours. I tell you, don't even think about exchanging my son's life for money. Don't even think about it in this life." Don’t even think about it!”

Feng Youxiao felt uncomfortable. After all, it was his legitimate son who died. He and his wife quarreled: "You must be conscientious when speaking. If I didn't know it in my heart, how could I have spent so much money to hire famous doctors for him over the years? I know what you are thinking It’s sad, but I don’t feel good either. Can you please stop making trouble?”

He waved his hand tiredly and asked the maid to help his wife go down.

Mrs. Feng refused to leave and warned him sternly: "Feng Youxiao, if you dare to exchange my son's life for the three hundred thousand taels, I will die with my son, and I will not let you go even if you are a ghost!"

Feng Youxiao didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he urged the maid irritably: "Take it away quickly, take it away."

Dai Zhanan was roughly pushed into the death row, and two people covered in blood lay on the ground.

His two buttocks trembled, and it took him a while to see clearly. Who else could those two people be if they weren't his sons?

"Why did they beat you like this!" Dai Zhanan was sad and angry. Fortunately, he wanted to exchange 300,000 taels for his son's life, but they were so cruel.

Dai Yunlei was unconscious. Dai Yunfeng's injuries were much lighter. He got up with difficulty: "Father, my eldest brother has one leg and two ribs broken by them. Don't touch him."

"Doctor, doctor!" Dai Zhan'an shouted loudly while holding on to the railing of the cell. A jailer came over. He took out his purse and took out a handful of broken silver: "Here are you, go ask the doctor."
