Chapter 253

Sending off the emperor and Jia Dapang's family, Qian Feng and Shiliu didn't watch at the intersection for too long, because Qian Feng still had something to do, so he had to take the pine ball to the county, and Shiliu also went to her mother's house with Chuan'er Look.Fatty Jia wants his family to live a new life, while Qian Feng just wants to continue living this simple life with Pomegranate.

On the way to the county, Songqiu was depressed all the time.

"Second uncle, if I confess all the truth, will Aunt Lihua be executed in the end?"

Qian Feng understands Songqiu's mind, because Lihua did not show a villainous side in front of him. Even though Songqiu now knows that Lihua was lying to him at that time, he still does not hate Lihua, and thinks that Lihua is not guilty of death.

Qian Feng didn't want this matter to cast a shadow on Song Qiu's heart. Childhood should be bright and happy.

"Songqiu, if you confess all the truth, not only will you not cause Lihua to be sentenced to death, but it will also make the judge think that Lihua is not too bad. But... her crime is not just lying to you to blackmail me, Also, she once killed her husband Li Xiaolang, she paid for her life, and Lihua probably...has a lot of bad luck, but it has nothing to do with you, she deserves what she deserves."

Songqiu lowered her head and said, "But Auntie Lihua said that she didn't kill Li Xiaolang on purpose, she said she was afraid that Li Xiaolang would infect her with the disease."

Qian Feng was taken aback for a moment, "Do you believe what she said?"

Songqiu nodded, "I believe it. It is said that human beings are inherently kind. Aunt Lihua had just married into the Li family at that time, and she had no grudges with Li Xiaolang. Why did she kill him? After getting along for a while, you will only hate or hate him when you find out that he is very annoying, second uncle, are you right?"

Qian Feng was left speechless by Song Qiu's words. There is no unreasonable hatred in this world. At most, Li Hua just hated Li Xiaolang at the time. Maybe she really didn't want to kill him. What Song Qiu said was probably right.

Qian Feng sighed: "People will always be punished for doing wrong things, no matter whether it is intentional or unintentional. It's like the last time you and Sui'er were playing stone throwing in front of the house, and you accidentally threw the small pot in front of you. It's like a chicken being smashed to death. You and Sui'er will not only be scolded by Xiao Guanzi's family, but also by your parents. You and Sui'er have to go to coax Xiao Guzi not to cry. The fat chicken should be paid to Xiao Changzi’s family, and this matter will be settled. You and Sui’er didn’t do it on purpose, but if you did something wrong, shouldn’t you be punished?”

Song Qiu seems to have realized a little bit, "If people do wrong things and are not punished, there will be many people who deliberately do wrong things and hurt others intentionally in the future, right?"

Qian Feng smiled happily, "You are right, so we should avoid doing wrong things, and try to think twice before doing anything."

Song Qiu seemed to be a little more relaxed, and said: "I know, the teacher often says to be cautious in words and deeds. When I see Aunt Lihua, I tell her this truth, and she may know where she is wrong. "

When the uncles and nephews arrived in the county, Mr. Qu arranged for a trial in court in time. Only then did Qian Feng know that Mr. Qu had been promoted in the past few days. He was the county magistrate and was directly in charge of the case of Lihua, sitting in the courtroom as a judge above.

Songqiu was far more daring than Qian Feng had imagined. He explained what happened at that time very clearly, and he also explained a lot of reasoning to Lihua who was kneeling beside him, telling her to admit her mistakes, obey the law, and accept punishment.I don't know if Lihua has listened to the principles of Songqiu, or just ignored it. She didn't say a word to refute, and her complexion was very bad, as if she had suffered a serious illness.

It took a long time to try the case. Qian Feng and Song Qiu lived in the county for two days before the case was almost closed.In fact, the trial of this case went very smoothly. After the trial was completed according to the procedures, Mr. Qu sentenced Lihua to commit suicide in prison next month. The method and date of death were up to her choice.

After retiring, Qian Feng and Song Qiu were invited by Mr. Qu to sit at his home.Qian Feng was a little puzzled, and asked: "Master Qu, is there a sentence in our court law that convicts should commit suicide?"

Master Qu said with a smile: "This is a murder case, and the case has to be sent to the capital to be tried by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This kind of judgment was drawn up by the newly enthroned emperor himself. He said that in the future, any woman who is going to be executed will be punished." Let her commit suicide, and the bloody scene of a woman going to the guillotine should not be seen by the onlookers. After she commits suicide, let her inspector and report it to the Ministry of Punishment."

Qian Feng's heart was touched a little, the emperor is actually an emperor who respects women, which is quite rare.

Songqiu didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore, it was better to let Lihua commit suicide than to be beheaded.

After staying in the county for three full days, Qian Feng and Song Qiu felt homesick.Thinking of carrying a gold ingot with him, Qian Feng asked Mr. Qu for help to buy a horse. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to buy a horse, but it is much easier for Mr. Qu to do it. .

Mr. Qu knew that Qian Feng and Jia Dapang were good friends, and also knew that Jia Dapang would go to the capital to become an official in the imperial court, so he readily agreed to Qian Feng's trivial matter.

Qian Feng also took out a bag of silver taels to Mr. Qu, saying that it was a favor for him, and it was agreed last year that because of the opening of Stone Mountain, he would be benefited every year.Unexpectedly, Mr. Qu turned pale with fright, and said that he would not dare to ask for any benefits anymore, and also said that in the future, the money handed over to the county would be reduced by half.

Qian Feng knew what Mr. Qu was afraid of, so he didn't make things difficult for him, which just saved a lot of money.

Qian Feng rode a horse back home with the pine cone, and was very excited along the way. The horse is equivalent to a car, and he has his own means of transportation, and his quality of life is gradually improving.

As soon as she got home, Shiliu said excitedly that many people in Taohua Village wanted to raise chickens, and everyone in Qianjia Village wanted to raise geese, because my uncle’s family had been raising geese. Hearing what Shiliu said, my uncle planned to hatch many goose cubs this year. In the past two days, people in the village rushed to pay in advance to buy goose cubs.

Qian Feng thought it was good. These people were more interested in raising poultry than growing herbs. Speaking of which, everyone still wanted to save the fields and land for growing food. Food can fill the stomach, but herbs can't.

Qian Feng asked with a smile: "Which villages are willing to raise pigs and ducks?"

Pomegranate took a stick and drew on the ground, "There are too many. Zhang Lizheng has come to see me. You see, this is what Zhang Lizheng told me. He will arrange which villages to raise what. These three villages raise pigs, and these three villages raise pigs. Raising ducks. By the way, not only did Zhang Lizheng arrange the ten villages he manages, but he also asked Qiu Lizheng, who is in charge of the other ten villages, to arrange them carefully."
