Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 40
Suddenly being hugged by someone, Feng Shen couldn't help being startled, when he looked up, it turned out to be Feng Quan, the housekeeper.

"Young master...you are so anxious!" Seeing Feng Shen's tattered clothes, Feng Quan almost shed tears, "I haven't listened to you from morning to night, I don't have a good heart... come on After Shuntian Mansion inquired, they found out that the young master had gone out of the city to take the robbers... I was afraid that something might go wrong, so I had to wait here... huh? Young master, did you hurt your hand?"

Feng Shenqiang said with a smile: "I was stabbed with a knife, there is a small injury to the flesh, I haven't moved my muscles and bones, it's not a problem."

Feng Quan felt distressed in his heart. He pulled up Feng Shen's sleeves and said stubbornly: "We can make a living by renting houses in those fields. This is a terrible job...Young master, please stop doing it! If you see swords and swords in the sky, don't worry. One has three ups and two downs...I... how can I be worthy of the late master and wife?"

"It's okay," Feng Shen patted Feng Quan's shoulder, and said, "I'll be more careful in the future. Well, the murderers have all been brought to justice now, and Mr. Fu Yin will be promoted overnight. You should go back first and wait for the business to be dealt with." All right, I'll be home."

"But..." Feng Quan wanted to say something, but Feng Shen waved his hand and refused, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

But just a few steps away, Feng Shen suddenly heard calling.Feng Quan was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head back: "What else do you want, Master?"

Feng Shen looked at Tianxianggua, and said to Feng Quan: "After returning home, let Chang Ma and the others clean up a room, and then prepare some food and bedding, hot water and warm soup."

Feng Quan checked his words and saw a disgraced little girl standing next to Feng Shen, and immediately became suspicious: "Master, who is this girl?"

Hearing Feng Quan's question, Xianggua opened his mouth and said, "I...I am his wife!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Young...Young Master," Feng Quan seemed to have a hot potato in his mouth, he was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a word, "Where did all this trouble come from? What...when...how many... Will there be another young mistress?"

"Cantaloupe, don't talk nonsense!" Feng Shen lowered his face and shouted at Cantaloupe, "Is it a child's play to make a big difference between a man and a woman? Stop talking nonsense and ruin your reputation!"

"Ah?" Xianggua blinked her eyes a few times, her face full of grievances, "Brother Feng...you...you don't want me anymore?"

Seeing Xianggua's pitiful appearance, Feng Shen couldn't laugh or cry: "There is no marriage contract between you and me, so how can we talk about it?"

"Yes... yes!" Xianggua was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, "My grandfather entrusted me to you when he was dying, and you promised to treat me well in front of him! Brother Feng... ...Don't talk too much..."

As Xianggua was talking, he suddenly saw Zha Wuzuo hiding beside him and giggling, so he dragged him over: "You were there at that time, you have to testify for me!"

"There is such a thing..." Zha Wu was at a loss for words for a while, "But... but..."

"Look! Even Mr. Zha En said that!" Xianggua said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Feng, don't dislike me, I'm in trouble, so I didn't dress up properly... I was in Tianjin Wei before. Son, I wear a colorful gown every day, and even Hei Erniang says I look juicy..."

Xianggua's mouth was unrestrained, and she even told Lin Heier, if she didn't stop her, big trouble would happen.Feng Shen and Zha Wuzuo were helpless, so they had to make a good word to stabilize the muskmelon.

Several people persuaded for a long time, and the muskmelon stopped crying.Remembering the crossbow hidden on Xianggua's wrist, Feng Shen was afraid of causing misunderstanding in the court, so he asked her to untie it, and asked Feng Quan to take it home for safekeeping.

According to Xianggua's words, he handed the crossbow to Feng Quan: "This is my Hei Erniang's relic, don't lose it."

"No, no," Feng Quan wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it in his arms, "Young Mistress, just rest assured..."

"Nonsense again!" Feng Shen turned pale with anger, and scolded, "Why don't you hurry up?"

Feng Quan made a face and ran away.

Zha Wuzuo couldn't help laughing, and said happily, "Feng Quan is really a clever ghost. Before he even entered the door, he confessed."

"Master Zha, stop joking." Feng Shen sighed, gave Xianggua a few words, and entered the yamen together.

The lobby is already brightly lit.All the Yamen servants picked up the dead bodies and lined them up in the hall.Because of the greeting in advance, Old Man Tian's body was covered with a white sheet, and the sheet stopped in a corner.

Feng Shen asked Xianggua to kneel in front of Old Man Tian's body, and after tidying up his clothes, he stood side by side with Zha Wu.

Not long after, Fu Yin came back from the back office, and seeing Feng Shen and others with frosted faces and wounds all over their bodies, he couldn't bear it.But it was not easy to exchange pleasantries in the courtroom, so he just nodded his head a few times to show his appreciation.

The governor took his seat, slapped the gavel, and all the yamen servants hit the ground with clubs and clubs, shouting in unison.Announcing "Leading criminals", the four murderers who were still alive were dragged to the lobby like dead dogs.

"My lord," Lu Ban rushed forward and cupped his fists, "It's all here!"

Fu Yin glared: "Which one is Lai Qing?"

Lu Bantou plucked a few times among the criminals, grabbed Lai Qing's braid and yanked violently: "This is the kid!"

Lai Qing felt pain in the back of his head, and he couldn't help raising his face.

"It's really detestable!" Seeing Lai Qing's appearance, Fu Yin suddenly felt disgusted, and immediately waved his hand, signaling to press down Lai Qing's head and face.

Afterwards, Fu Yin asked about the process of arresting the murderer.Feng Shen recounted in detail how to find the trace, how to touch the dry forest, how to fight seven with one and so on.

The more Fu Yin listened, the more frightened and angry he became.When he learned that Feng Shen was about to be persecuted to death by the villains, he couldn't hold back anymore, he hurriedly ordered the four people on the left and right to slap each other ten times.

The left and right were ordered, all holding the signing boards, holding down the four villains, and then slapped them up.This gangster has no conscience, how can the servants be soft?Especially for that Lai Qing, he put all his strength into it.

After the ten slaps were over, the four gangsters also fell to the ground, their cheeks swollen like steamed buns, and they spit out blood, and there were a few teeth mixed with them.

The Fu Yin ignored him and let him moan and crawl, seeing "pig corpses" and "monkey corpses" parked under the hall, he ordered Feng Shen and Zha Wu to inspect them.

The two took the examination tools and began the autopsy in court.After cutting the skin and bones several times, it was confirmed that those "pig monkeys" were made from living animals.

Everyone was prepared in their hearts, but they were still dumbfounded when they saw this scene.Fu Yin was so angry that he called someone to bring several buckets of cold water and poured empowerment on the four criminals.

After being drenched in ice water, the four fought fiercely.Lai Qing and the others' faces were pale, their lips were purple, their upper and lower gums were trembling and overlapping, and their mouths were wailing incessantly.Although the scar-faced man didn't yell, but his face was completely drained of blood, he was trembling all over, trying to hold himself up.

"Crack!" Fu Yin clapped the case, "You guys are really worse than pigs and dogs for committing such a heinous murder case! Whoever's name is very famous, quickly recruit!"

But when asked, no one responded.Several yamen servants were furious, and without waiting for the governor's order, they rushed forward to punch and kick.

"Don't... don't fight..." The scar-faced man was slurred, as if a piece of tongue was missing from his mouth, "I... I will recruit... all of them..."

Hearing that he was willing to recruit, Fu Yin ordered the servants to be dismissed.The scar-faced man slowed down for a while, before opening his mouth with difficulty.

It turned out that this group of gangsters were all brothers who worshiped Babazi. From the oldest to the last, they were Zhang Xingwu, Wang Dazhang, Wang Jianglong, Li Aniu, Liu Guanghai, Lai Qing and Tong Xiaochuan.The seven brothers originally came from Fengyang Mansion, but because they couldn't find a place to stay, they cut wood to build a house in the dead forest.From time to time, I also go to the city to earn some money by playing guns and performing arts with a little kung fu.

"A bunch of nonsense!" Fu Yin jumped up at the case, pointed at the scarred man and said angrily, "How can you gossip in the courtroom? Nowadays, people get all their stolen goods, and they want to hide the world and avoid the serious and ignore the minor, that is absolutely impossible! Our government Let me ask you, if you have never done anything wrong, where did those human corpses in animal skins come from?"

Hearing the governor's question about "making animals", Lai Qing hastily answered: "My lord, our brothers are all wandering rivers and lakes... If you want to make a living, you must have a craft, right? That monkey is a little boy." The pigs were bought from others with money, and they were tamed so that they could be taken out to ask for some rewards. Those pigs were brought in from the passing cattle dealers... Who knew there were people in there? My lord Ah, although my little hands and feet are unclean, the crime is not fatal, right? You are burning down our house and harming our brothers..."

"Fart!" Before Lai Qing could finish speaking, Lu Ban yelled loudly, "You bastard, how dare you turn black and white? If you don't give it too much power, I'm sorry you don't know the king's law of Shuntian Mansion!"

After Lu Ban finished speaking, he took a water and fire stick from the hand of the yamen servant, rounded it up, and smashed it on the top of Lai Qing's head.

Seeing that Lai Qing was about to have his head cracked, Feng Shen hurriedly flew forward and grabbed the end of the stick tightly.

The strength of this stick is really not small.Feng Shen only felt a shock in his mouth, his whole arm was numb, the wound in his palm burst open, and the blood soaked through the wrapping immediately.

Feng Shen wiped the blood from his palm, his expression remained calm: "The team leader is very impatient, if this stick is dropped, I'm afraid Lai Qing's brains will splatter and he will die."

"Then what's the matter?" Lu Ban snorted coldly, and said, "It seems that such murderers and thugs are cheap to be killed in the hall!"

"It's not like that," Feng Shen straightened his expression and said seriously, "It is true that the sky net is well-established, and it is not leaked. This is an indisputable proof that the crime of this villain will not be punished. But how to judge the case and sentencing is up to you. Master Yin decided, is there any reason to kill the murderer before the case is known?"

Lu Ban was at a loss for words for a moment, and was stunned for a while, then angrily threw the water and fire stick, and stepped aside: "It's up to you!"

Lu Bantou has been working in Shuntian Mansion for many years, and the governor also knows that he has a quick temper, so he ignores it for the time being, and turned to Lai Qing and shouted: "Why don't you recruit him as it is?"
