Farmer's Cannon Fodder: Listen to me, the whole family, change the plot

886's words made Song Rending give up some unrealistic ideas, and with a little depression, he changed a few words in the plot related to the old couple of the Kong family and Kong Ping.

This resulted in the old couple of the Kong family and Kong Ping, who were already detained in the yamen, having bad luck five or six times a day. They would either break a leg, knock a tooth, or suddenly have a mental breakdown like a madman, scaring the jailers in the yamen.

Their chaotic life ultimately pushed the county magistrate to close cases much faster.

The evidence in court was all spoken of by the Kong family themselves, so it was actually very easy for the county magistrate to investigate. However, in order not to wrongly accuse anyone, he investigated more thoroughly.

However, the uneasy lives of the old couple of the Kong family and Kong Ping gave people the illusion that they might die at any time and anywhere. This made the county magistrate, who had originally planned to close the case in two days, have to work overtime with his subordinates to organize the materials, and opened the court again two days earlier.

This time, Song Sumei looked much better than last time. Although she was still thin and her face was still a little yellow, her complexion had improved a lot.

He no longer needed anyone to support him in the court. He just stood upright and listened to the county magistrate as he concluded the case in a well-reasoned and decisive manner.

In fact, what was actually found out was more than what the Kong family members said in class.

For example, when Kong Ping poisoned Kong Cai, although the old couple of the Kong family were unaware of it, they still helped Kong Ping unknowingly.

As for the doctor's death, it was even more closely related to the old couple of the Kong family.

Kong Ping killed the doctor to silence him in order to prevent others from knowing that he poisoned his brother. However, because he was caught by the old couple of the Kong family when he was doing the killing, he finally made up another cover in front of the old couple of the Kong family. The doctor's death was no longer considered to be the work of Kong Ping alone, but was instead the work of Kong Ping and the old couple of the Kong family. In the end, the old couple of the Kong family cleaned up the mess and took care of the aftermath.

Therefore, even though the old couple of the Kong family did not bring a complete charge against Kong Cai in the murder of Kong Cai, they eventually obtained an extremely complete charge against him in the murder of the doctor.

The crime of murder was an extremely serious matter under the laws of the time.

The three members of the Kong family were all thrown into prison. Kong Ping was charged with the most serious crime and was sentenced to beheading in the autumn. The old couple of the Kong family knew about the doctor's incident but did not report it. They also cooperated in the killing and handled the aftermath. According to the law, they were sentenced to 100 strokes of the cane and then hanging in the autumn.

It was a pity that those two old bones could not withstand even a hundred strokes of the cane, and they even died at the fiftieth stroke.

Song Sumei watched them being executed and then watched them breathe their last before she left happily.

All members of the Kong family were sentenced, and the remaining property naturally belonged to Song Sumei and Kong Dani in accordance with Kong Cai's will.

However, Song Sumei had already made the decision to live in Songjia Village with Kong Dani from now on. In addition, after communicating with her family in the past few days and hearing Song Rending's thoughts, Song Sumei had already realized that a disaster year might come soon, and it would be the kind of disaster year that would require fleeing.

In this way, the Kong family’s businesses would no longer matter.

The Kong family still has elders, but the village is farther away from the town over there, so they haven’t arrived yet for a while.

So Song Sumei made a prompt decision, and accompanied by her eldest and second brothers, she transferred the Kong family's business, sold the shop, and exchanged all the existing real estate for money. She then returned to Songjia Village with her few luggages.

She is a soft-hearted person, but she is not confused.

If it is true that one needs to flee in years of disaster, then what is most needed right now is to store up food and have money on hand to facilitate escape and settlement afterwards.

So when exchanging money, Song Sumei did not ask for silver notes. She was afraid that when she had to flee during the disaster, she would not be able to spend the silver notes, nor could she exchange them for silver.

She exchanged the bulk of the money for gold, which didn't take up much space but was valuable. She exchanged the rest for silver coins and made some into silver and gold leaves, which would be convenient to carry around. Even if she needed to spend it, she could just cut off a little with scissors and it wouldn't attract attention.

No one in the Song family tried to covet the money she brought from the Kong family, and no one even asked about it.

Fortunately, the food money she handed over was never refused by Old Lady Song, who accepted it directly - this was the wisdom of Old Lady Song. After accepting the money from Song Sumei, Song Sumei felt at ease, and no one else would have any objections.

This indeed made Song Sumei feel much more at ease. She happily settled down in her mother's home with her daughter Kong Dani and her savior Lang Twelve, who had nowhere to go.

However, the elder of the Kong family arrived late.

When this group of people heard that only Song Sumei and her daughter were left in the Kong family, they decided to wipe out the entire family.

However, he never expected that when he arrived at the place, all the family property had been sold by Song Sumei, and she had already returned to her parents' home with her children.

Although this group of people from the Kong family wanted to come to Songjia Village to claim the family property, they clearly remembered that Songjia Village was also a large clan. As the girl in the group, Song Sumei must have the support of the elders in the clan.

Not to mention that after they inquired around, they confirmed that Song Sumei had two older brothers and a younger brother, and the youngest brother was even a juren.

In the end, the group of people from the Kong family did not dare to come, but just sent someone to send a message to Song Sumei, giving her an ultimatum - they warned Song Sumei that if she did not return Kong Cai's property, she and Kong Dani would be removed from the Kong family's genealogy.

Nowadays, many people are afraid of being removed from the family tree, but Song Sumei is not one of them.

Not to mention that when the letter was delivered, Song Sulan and Lin Changchun had just returned with their luggage. When Song Sulan saw the letter, she directly said what Song Sumei had not said yet:

"Who wants to be on the Kong family's genealogy? Their family has absolutely nothing to do with Confucius. Maybe they just improved it halfway to bring glory to themselves. My brother-in-law is just a good shoot among the bad ones. It's very rare! My brother-in-law is such a reasonable person. The Kong family doesn't allow my sister and Dani to stay on the Kong family tree, so why not return to our Song family's tree? I'm a juren now. The elders will not refuse such a small request!"

As she was talking, Song Sulan was about to go out to visit friends, but was stopped by Old Lady Song.

"You are still impatient! You still can't change after all these years. Just listen to what your elder sister has to say!"
