Chapter 480 The Injustice of the White Goose
"There is a family named Zhang in the local area. The owner is Zhang Wenyuan. Zhang Wenyuan is rich and powerful, and he is in the prime of life. He has six concubines in his own courtyard, and there are many kinds of ferocious beasts in his house. This person has a wide range of friends. , Both black and white are selling his face, it can be said that he is exquisite and majestic."

Li Canghai touched his chin, didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Then I heard Cao Zhengfeng continue to say: "This piece of Wenyuan's family background is prominent, but the bad thing is that this piece of Wenyuan is an out-and-out romantic ghost. A few days ago, Zhang Wenyuan took the oiran from Fendai Pavilion in Yangzhou City as the fifth concubine. Thinking of building a new "Hundred Flower Building" next to his own courtyard for him to play with his wives and concubines. And the land next to his courtyard is the field of Lin Wei's family. Lin Wei makes a living from farming, and the whole family Relying on this Susukida for food, of course he would not sell it cheaply. Zhang Wenyuan threatened several times, but Lin Wei just refused to sell the field, Zhang Wenyuan was annoyed, and sent his slaves to beat him up!"

"There is such a thing? Isn't Zhang Wenyuan willing to pay more money to buy the field?" Fushimi Hirohito was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

Cao Zhengfeng snorted angrily, and said: "Wen Yuan's family is rich and he is willing to spend money on his wives and concubines, but he is a penny-pinching rooster to others. How can he buy it with money? Just because he is the adopted son of the prime minister Yang Guozhong, Who dares to ask him for money, who dares to provoke him?"

Li Canghai frowned immediately, and said, "Go on."

Cao Zhengfeng nodded, his expression became sad, he sighed a long time, and continued: "After Lin Wei was caught in the prison, he was severely beaten, and even though the elders in the town went out to plead for mercy, he was released. came out, but the goose was stolen the next day. It turned out that Zhang Wenyuan had several big white geese in his family, but one was lost that day. Lin Xiaoer stole it. Zhang Wenyuan found the Lin family's field, and sure enough, he found a goose feather in his field."

"What do the people of the Lin family say about this matter?" Li Canghai asked in a deep voice as he tapped his finger on the armrest of the wooden wheelchair.

Cao Zhengfeng sighed: "The people of the Lin family are naturally complaining, but Lin Wei was so beaten that he couldn't move. What can the sister-in-law of the Lin family do if she is a prostitute? She said that her two sons and daughters have always been well-behaved, and they will never steal other people's things. This goose feather Someone must have deliberately thrown them in the Lin family's field to frame them."

"What happened after that?" Conan also frowned and asked.

"Where did the Zhang family manage how the Lin family's sister-in-law defended? They arrested a pair of Lin family's children and went to interrogate them. The two children were frightened, but they both said that they hadn't stolen the goose. Zhang Wenyuan didn't believe it. He asked Lin Xiaoer: What are you doing today? What did you eat? How could Lin Xiaoer bear such a fright, he was already overwhelmed with fright, Xiaoer said vaguely "I, I...", this disaster really fell on the Lin family .”

After hearing this, everyone felt strange, what kind of disaster could be caused by the word 'I'?
Li Canghai was also at a loss. He stroked his chin and asked, "What's going on here?"

Cao Zhengfeng slammed his fist on the table angrily, and said angrily: "Lin Xiaoer just said 'I', but from this piece of Wen Yuan's ears, he meant something else. He slapped the table and immediately cursed: This kid has already been recruited, it is clear that he ate the goose, do you still want to deny it? Zhang Wenyuan immediately asked someone to report to the county government, and without a word, Lin Laosi was locked up and put in prison."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhengfeng let out a long sigh and closed his eyes tightly, thinking that what he saw that day must have left a deep impression on him.

Conan frowned, and said, "It's obvious that Zhang Wenyuan deliberately wronged the Lin family and wanted to blackmail the Lin family's land."

Cao Zhengfeng sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Lin's sister-in-law knew that her children would not steal geese, so she went to Zhang Wenyuan to argue, but was beaten out by Zhang's family. She went to the Yamen again to complain, but the Yamen servants also refused. It was blasted out."

"Why is this yamen servant so barbaric? Does the county magistrate just ignore it?" Conan asked angrily.

Cao Zhengfeng took a sip, and said: "This county magistrate was bribed by Zhang Wenyuan, and he has the same nostrils as Zhang Wenyuan, so how can he decide for the Lin family? The county magistrate used various tortures to torture Lin Wei to the brink of death. She looks like an adult. The sister-in-law of the Lin family exhausted all kinds of methods, and finally went to the prison to visit the prison, but saw that the unbeaten body was bloody and bloody, and she was anxious, and she simply turned her heart away."

"But I don't know what this sister-in-law of the Lin family is going to do?" Although everyone felt a little bad, they were still a little puzzled.

Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Cao Zhengfeng's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "After the sister-in-law of the Lin family returned home, she dragged Lin Xiaoer with one hand and a kitchen knife with the other, and called the neighbors on the left and right to go to the ancestral temple together."

Li Canghai suddenly thought of the bloodstone in front of the ancestral temple, and his face suddenly became serious.

He had vaguely guessed what had happened, and clenched his fists involuntarily.

Then I heard Cao Zhengfeng continue to say: "Sister-in-law of the Lin family kowtowed her head a few times in front of the ancestral temple, and said: My ancestors, my child will never steal other people's things. He is only four years old this year, and he can't speak clearly. Mr. Zhang just said "I" to him, and Mr. Zhang wronged his child for stealing his white goose! The little woman's family suffered an injustice and sued the Yamen, but they were kicked out. The corrupt officials took bribes, and the verdict was unknown. Beat her husband's family until half dead. Now the little woman has nowhere to say about her grievances, so she can only avenge her grievances to your ancestors!"

"I'm afraid this sister-in-law of the Lin family is going crazy? What's the use of praying for justice?" Conan frowned.

Cao Zhengfeng took a deep breath, and said, "After the sister-in-law of the Lin family said this, she picked up a kitchen knife and cut open Lin Xiaoer's stomach! But there was no goose in Xiaoer's stomach, only his siblings I was so hungry, I dug some wild thatch from the field. Just because Xiaoer uttered ambiguously, and when he was frightened, he stammered the word "I", Zhang Wenyuan deliberately misheard him, and wronged him for stealing the goose. It caused Xiao Er to lose his life!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhengfeng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, suppressed his grief, and said: "The sister-in-law of the Lin family raised her head to the sky and yelled 'I am wronged!', then hugged the body of the second child of the Lin family, and took her own life with a kitchen knife! "

"What?! There is such a thing?" Everyone was surprised, and Conan jumped up directly.

"Poor Lin's family of four, three of them died, and only one young girl who was only seven years old was left. The young girl witnessed the tragic death of her own mother and younger brother. Their blood stained the stones in front of the ancestral temple. Brown, since then, my little sister has been wiping the stone non-stop, trying to wipe off the blood on the stone." Cao Zhengfeng gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.

Li Canghai looked at him and asked, "Mr. Cao's injuries must be thanks to Zhang Wenyuan, right?"
