Xiang Yuan sat on it and watched the farce below, it was a bit ironic.Originally, he wanted to show his strength to the people of Tongping Mansion, but before he could make a move, the troublemaker killed himself.

The servant of Feng's mansion, who was drunk and slipped his tongue, was surrounded by the audience, pushed him to kneel down in front of Xiang Yuan, and the remaining alcohol was completely gone, he was so frightened that his hands and feet were limp, and he collapsed on the ground for a long time, unable to speak. Come on.

With this witness, Xiang Yuan quickly sent someone to summon the Feng family and his son.Master Feng never expected that one day he, who is a respectable man in Tongping Mansion, would be guarded by the yamen servants like a prisoner all the way to the yamen gate of Xiangzhi Mansion for public trial.Mr. Feng covered his face with his sleeve all the way, feeling that his face was completely dull.After this encounter, how much effort would it take for him to restore his image as a suave, suave and good son!

At first, Master Feng refused to admit it.However, after repeated questioning by Xiang Yuan and the testimony of the villagers of Xianyao Village, Guanshi Cai, and servants of the Feng family, Master Feng had no choice but to bow his head and plead guilty.

The seized fields were signed and returned to the villagers of Xianyao Village on the spot, but Master Feng did not admit that Master Feng ordered his servants to injure the villagers.Saying that is entirely self-assessment.

"Whether you ordered it or not, but as the head of the Feng family, you have the responsibility that cannot be shirked. The villagers of Xianyao Village have had their fields occupied for more than a year and have had no income, and they have been injured. They should be taken into custody."

Hearing that he was going to be taken into custody, Mr. Feng's legs went limp for a moment, and he begged for mercy, "Xiaomin was confused for a while, please be merciful, Mr. Zhifu. Xiaomin, Xiaomin is willing to pay compensation!"

Xiang Yuan looked at Master Feng, then turned to ask the villagers of Xianyao Village: "What's your opinion? Do you want me to take Master Feng into custody, or do you want him to pay compensation?"

The villagers of Xianyao Village looked at each other, a little uncertain.

The crowd around the audience were also discussing, but no one dared to open their mouths and send Master Feng in.Finally, the villagers of Xianyao Village asked for money from the old woman.

Xiang Yuan nodded. In his heart, he also hoped that the villagers would ask for money.Master Feng's crime is not serious, according to the law, he was only detained for ten days and half a month.But if he was asked to pay for the silver, Xiang Yuan touched his chin, he would definitely be able to make Master Feng bleed once, and the compensation would make his heart tremble. Let's see if he dares to ignore the law and act recklessly in the future!

"Since that's the case, I'm the judge. Master Feng needs to compensate the villagers for ration money, soup and medicine, and mental damage. After careful calculation, each household will pay 100 taels. Master Feng, do you have any opinions?"

"100 taels?! My lord, this, this is too much, isn't it? Just a little food, the total is not worth 50 taels of silver, and the cost of soup and medicine is only ten taels of silver. My lord asks for 100 taels per household, sorry Xiaomin can't agree! Besides, what is this mental damage fee? Your lord can't grab it like this!"

"I don't know that this person who has done something wrong can still be so righteous! Come on, since you refuse to accept the sentence, you can hit ten boards first, and then talk to me."

Feng's father never expected that Xiang Yuan, as the magistrate, would beat someone if he disagreed with him!There is no law of the king!

"The little people don't accept it! The prefect blindly protects the villagers and despises the aristocratic family because he was born in a poor family. This is practicing favoritism and bending the law, only caring about his own reputation!"

These words were taught to Father Feng by Grandfather Feng, otherwise Father Feng would never have thought of transferring the conflict to Xiang Yuan's hatred of the family.

Anyway, the matter has been revealed, the previous plan to blame the He family, to take advantage of the rumors that Xiang Yuan loves the people like a son, to use the public to stir up anger, and to stir up conflicts between the prefect of Xiang and the He family is not going to work, so they simply provoke the aristocratic family and the prefect of Xiang Disagreements, the aristocratic family's attitude of resistance, Tongping Mansion, don't think about any development, then, let's see him, the prefect, continue to do it!

Hearing Master Feng's words, Xiang Yuan knew what he was up to.With a slight sneer, Xiang Yuan raised his hand to signal the servant to continue.What a joke, if he tripped so easily, Xiang Yuan won't have to mess around in the future.

The yamen servants naturally only listened to magistrate Xiang, and magistrate Xiang asked to hit the board, so he didn't care about three seven and twenty one, stepped forward and held down Master Feng, and cracked the board.Poor Mr. Feng has a pampered and delicate body, and after just one slap, he began to howl like ghosts and wolves.

Mr. Feng was terrified watching from the sidelines, on the one hand he was afraid that Xiang Zhifu would also order someone to beat him, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for Feng's father, the head of the Feng family, who was held here to beat him, how can he save face in the future!

The ten boards were finished quickly, and Master Feng leaned on Mr. Feng's body, feeling a little scared of Xiang Yuan in his heart.

"Stop yelling?"

Xiang Yuan asked lightly, Master Feng trembled, and he only whispered oops, and didn't dare to contradict him again.

"Okay! I will explain to you now, how the 100 taels of silver is punished, and you will be convinced!"

Xiang Yuan stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked down slowly with his hands behind his back.

"First, the villagers' ration money. Do you think it is enough to convert the grain output into silver? From last year to now, the villagers have no food to fill their stomachs. No matter how old or young they are, they are all hungry and skinny. These can be offset by only converting into silver? The second is the decoction fee. You think ten taels of silver is too much, can the official think that if someone beats you up, and then pays you some decoction fee, the matter will be over? Third, mental damage fee " Xiang Yuan walked up to Master Feng, stared at him and said, "You don't understand? I'll tell you." Then he turned around and surrounded the audience, let go of his voice and said, "I'll also tell you what mental damage fee is! Guys, listen, is this the truth?"

The surrounding audience all pricked up their ears.

"This mental damage fee is from the time you seized the land in Xianyao Village to the present, causing the villagers to worry day and night, worrying about a little ration, and the whole family can't sleep at night. A mother's heart is distressed by a hungry baby, and a father The heartache cannot bring peace to his wife and children. As an elderly person, he is worried that he will become a burden, and the pain caused by this will require compensation. Do you think that such pain does not require compensation? Do you only pay for food, soup and medicine? Can it offset the pain these villagers have suffered over the past year?"

Following Xiang Yuan's words, the villagers of Xianyao Village recalled the pressure and suffering that the whole family had endured for more than a year, and they all choked up and couldn't speak.The baby in the swaddle was infected by the mother and burst into tears. The scene was quite bleak for a while.

The onlookers were deeply moved by the scene described in this way and the scene in front of them, and their eyes turned red. It started with one, and then everyone shouted.

"We have to pay, we have to pay! Why do they bully our small families and just throw a few copper coins? Xiang Zhifu is right, you should pay for mental damage!"

Master Feng clutched his chest, looked at the angry faces of the people in front of him, backed away with Mr. Feng in shock, wishing to hide behind the yamen servant.

Xiang Yuan turned around and asked Master Feng again: "Master Feng, do you think it's more than 100 taels?"

"Not much, not much, Xiaomin accept the punishment, accept the punishment."

Master Feng was only looking forward to getting out quickly, and he hurriedly responded.If you want to spend [-] or [-] silver at one time, you can only choose to ignore it first, otherwise you will really die of heartache!

Xiang Yuan didn't want to let him go so easily, so he ordered He Wenshu to take the records to Mr. Feng to sign and post them, and then the yamen would issue an indemnity document, which was also asked to be signed by Mr. Feng himself.Now, he thinks that in the future, if he procrastinates and refuses to pay, the villagers can come to the yamen with documents to beat drums and sue, and they will have to pay an extra tael of silver every day beyond the deadline.Xiang Zhifu called it a late fee.

Master Feng's heart trembled when he saw it, and after signing with trembling hands, he couldn't wait to ask Mr. Feng to help him and walked out in a hurry.

Passing by the audience, and being applauded like cheers by the crowd, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

The villagers of Xianyao Village were so grateful that they helped the old and the young to kneel on the ground, wanting to kowtow to Xiang Yuan.There was no way for Xiang Yuan to avoid it, and he was deeply depressed after being worshipped.

There are more than 60 old people there, and he won't lose his life after being worshipped!

The villagers of Xianyao Village were sent away by Xiang Yuan's yamen servants driving the horse-drawn carriages, and the crowds around the audience were still full of enthusiasm. Two or three couples stood at the gate of the yamen and talked a lot. It seemed that it was going to be noon. A carriage with a beautiful appearance came, and it arrived at the gate of the yamen like the wind, and a handsome girl came down immediately, without saying a word, she beat the Dengwen drum.

Everyone: (⊙o⊙)...

Oh my god, is this another big thing happening? !

Immediately, the crowd crowded around like a chicken blood, and asked the girl eagerly.

"Girl, what happened to you?"

"Girl, you are right to beat the drums. Our prefect Xiang is the famous Qingtian master. If you have any grievances, prefect Xiang will decide for you!"

"Come on, girl, you are weak, uncle will knock for you!"

The girl was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the crowd, and stood there with a face covered in a circle, a little at a loss.

Inside the carriage, Mrs. Zhao looked haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, she opened the curtain to see the scene outside, remembering the words of her concubine Zhao Shen, her heart ached again.

The Ruhuasiyu daughter had only been married into the Sun family for only three years, and she was gone!

That guy Sun Jun actually said that he hanged himself!

Pooh!how is this possible!

How could she not understand her good daughter?How could it be impossible to think about not having children?Xiang Yuan, who had never left her boudoir before, and her fiancé-in-law had a terrible reputation, didn't see her making a fuss. How could she easily give up her life for such an uncertain thing as a child now!

Her good daughter must have been killed by that guy Sun Jun!

The master relies on his status, and he doesn't want to offend the Sun family, and he doesn't want to seek justice for his daughter. It doesn't matter, she will do it herself!

"Mother, drink some water. From yesterday to today, I haven't even had a drop of water. I'm afraid my body won't be able to take it."

Mr. Zhao came to Tongping Mansion with Mrs. Zhao. He went to inquire about the news alone before he rushed to the magistrate's Yamen.Seeing Mrs. Zhao's sad face, she couldn't help persuading her.

Mrs. Zhao shook her hand and kept her eyes on the Yamen's door.

"Xun'er, go and beat the drum again."

Mr. Zhao nodded and got out of the carriage. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a yamen servant come out and asked what was the matter.

"Send me, I want to sue Tongping Mansion Yamen to judge Sun Jun for murdering his wife Zhao!"

As soon as this remark came out, the surroundings suddenly boiled.

Hey, it's actually the official who committed the crime, now it's a good show!
