Chapter 30 Zhu Hongsan Released From Prison
Feng Ziyong was very depressed sitting in the sedan chair. He just went to Majiazhuang to explain to his aunt and uncle. Fortunately, his aunt and uncle knew what their precious son-in-law looked like and did not blame him. Feng Ziyong thought that when he was a child, his aunt raised him without a mother. At that time, his stepmother was not good to him, and his aunt took him to Wuchang County to raise him.
When Feng Ziyong thought of this, he felt that he was indeed a bit overdoing it. No matter how much his aunt and uncle looked down on that son-in-law, Zhu Hongsan was his own cousin-law.
In the sedan chair, Feng Ziyong decided to go back and Tishen the madam in the second hall, and asked her to shut up. Feng Ziyong knew that such a lower-class person was very afraid of the government. He would give her some money at that time, so there should be no problem. He would just cut off a few people's limbs and not have any life.
After the sedan chair entered the county government office, Feng Ziyong said to his master: "Mr. Liang, please go and find the prison chief."
After a while, the prison head came. After the prison head greeted him, he said, "Prison head, you bring those ruffians and the old madam now, and I will interrogate him in the second hall."
When the prison chief heard this, he knelt down and said, "Grandmaster, the eight thugs and the madam Zhang died of injuries last night. Today, I found that they were dead."
Feng Ziyong was shocked when he heard this: "What? Dead?" Feng Ziyong saw those people in the lobby yesterday. They all had broken limbs and had no wounds. Why did they all die all night? Feng Ziyong was also a county magistrate. He knew what kind of virtues the clerks below were. He had to do everything he could eat and take care of them, but as long as he could still execute Feng Ziyong's orders, he was too lazy to care about them.
Because the water is clear and there is no fish, no one will work if it is too cruel. But now these people are too brave, and nine people will be killed if they say they are killed.
Feng Ziyong was furious and scolded: "Why did you die? Did you kill me? You are not clean and I don't like to care about your bad things. Now you are a little too much. Come on, give me ten steps."
The soap yamen runners came up to take off the prison head's pants, swung the water and green sticks and beat the board. The head's parents screamed. After a while, the sticks were beaten, and a yamen runner stepped forward and said, "After ten sticks, please test the injury."
Feng Ziyong continued to ask, "Say, what's going on."
The prison head said, "Grandmaster, please spare me, the villain has a love for me."
Feng Ziyong drank: "Say."
The prison chief looked at his left and said, "Please ask the great master to retreat, you can only talk about this matter with the great master."
Feng Ziyong waved his hand and everyone went down. Feng Ziyong said, "Tell me."
The prison head repeated what Zhu Hongsan said to him in the morning, and of course he did not mention the money and promotion.
Feng Ziyong was very surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that the nine people were made by Ma Mingyuan. After all, his Ma family was deeply rooted in Wuchang County, so it was still possible to kill a few people. But after hearing what the prison chief said, Zhu Hongsan did it himself. Feng Ziyong didn't know that the old pun was killed by evil spirits, otherwise he would be even more surprised.
After asking someone to carry the prison, he fell into deep thought. Feng Ziyong had seen a cruel and ruthless person. He had never seen anyone in the case before, and had seen the whole family killing him. But he had never seen such strict work as Zhu Hongsan. He was suffocated with mulberry paper and could not detect the injury at all. In addition, Zhu Hongsan was the plaintiff.
He was also a royal family, and he injured several rascals in self-defense, and then rascals died of serious injuries in prison. Such cases could withstand re-examination when they were taken there, and the cases of their royal family had to be sent to the King of Chu's mansion. With the virtues of the King of Chu, the case sect was directly destroyed.
The more Feng Ziyong thought about it, the more shocked he became. Zhu Hongsan was not simple. He designed it from the beginning, and it was linked together. Those ruffians would not be able to go out without dying in prison. He beat the royal family in Huguang, and this one could kill them. Thinking of this, Feng Ziyong couldn't help but think that when Ma Mingyuan was leaving yesterday, Zhu Hongsan would solve it himself. At that time, he thought that Ma Mingyuan might just say that he would just say that later, he would take action as the county magistrate.
Feng Ziyong now wants to see what kind of person Zhu Hongsan looks like, and he is becoming more and more interested in him. He ordered someone to go to prison to get Zhu Hongsan.
Zhu Hongsan mentioned later. Feng Ziyong asked the idle people to wait. He glanced at Zhu Hongsan and said, "Did you kill the person?"
Zhu Hongsan said, "Yes."
Feng Ziyong was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhu Hongsan to answer so happily. He then asked, "Why kill them? You should know that I will not ignore you, and these rascals will not say anything."
Zhu Hongsan said: "It's not for this, because I don't want to be like an adult."
"Like me? Why are you like me?"
Zhu Hongsan continued: "Yesterday Xiaofang told me that my second cousin was chased by her sister-in-law and had no way to escape. She jumped off the building and broke her leg. I don't want to be like my second cousin in the future. In order to maintain this position, those people will die."
Feng Ziyong almost pissed off to death. It wasn't that he angered Ma Xiaofang about his scandal, but that Zhu Hongsan actually killed nine lives for such trivial matters. Feng Ziyong stood up and said directly with his hands: "You are too cruel. You took the lives of nine of them just for such a thing. Aren't you afraid that I will kill my relatives for the sake of justice?"
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "I told my second brother Ma Mingliang that I look down on you stinky old men the most. They are all stubborn and pretend to be hypocritical. In fact, they are full of thieves and prostitutes. You can kill your relatives for justice, but you have to be clear that you were raised by my mother-in-law and your wife was also found by my mother-in-law. You have not yet repaid this kind of raising your mother and son-in-law to prison. What about your filial piety of literati? Your superiors, your relatives, your father, your children think? How can you stay in the circle of literati in the future? How can you meet your aunt in the future?"
Zhu Hongsan's series of blows made Feng Ziyong pale and sat on the chair and couldn't speak. Yes, what should I do with the filial piety he learned? This is the cornerstone of all his faith. Without filial piety, what else is the use of what he has learned in the past few decades? What does his aunt think of me? What does his child's father think of me? What does his superiors think of me? On the surface, they may say that I am the second in Hai Rui, or they may say that I am the second in Hai Rui, but they must exclude myself. Just look at Hai Rui, you will know that I don't want to be Hai Rui.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziyong found that his only way was to report to the King of Chu Mansion according to Zhu Hongsan's method, saying that nine people kidnapped the Chu royal family and were beaten and seriously injured and died in prison. Because the evidence of people and physical evidence was all set, the King of Chu Mansion might also report to the court and reward himself, a local official who maintains the royal family. At that time, except for the nine dead families who were not satisfied, the officials at all levels at the top, middle and lower levels will be satisfied, and everyone will be promoted and made a fortune. Is this the meaning of being an official?
Zhu Hongsan saw Feng Ziyong's face getting paler and he was about to vomit blood. Think about it, let's help him. After all, he was his eldest brother-in-law, and it was difficult to meet Ma Mingyuan. He stepped forward and said in Feng Ziyong's ear: "Don't your second cousin remember the unity of knowledge and action in the mind? Think about Zhang Juzheng, a good person can only be a clean official, but cannot be an official who is useful to the country."
A sentence reached Feng Ziyong's heart, yes, I care about him, what kind of honest and corrupt officials, I just need to have a clear conscience. After thinking it through, Feng Ziyong's expression gradually became normal. Feng Ziyong looked at Zhu Hongsan opposite him, but now he didn't dare to underestimate this playboy at all. This guy's words made him fall into a logical circle and almost vomit blood. Another sentence made him figure it out, Ma Mingyuan was right, this was a dangerous guy.
Zhu Hongsan saw Feng Ziyong looking at him fiercely and said, "No need to thank me, I just saw you vomiting blood. After all, you are my wife's cousin, and it is difficult for everyone to meet in the future. Second cousin, the case is over, the murderer has died in prison. Everyone has clear evidence and physical evidence. Can I go home?"
Feng Ziyong said: "Yes, but you have to wait for the summons from me at any time."
"Okay, my second cousin will come back and see you. I will wait for Xiaofang and I to invite you to have a wedding banquet." Zhu Hongsan ran away after saying that. Thinking about it, there is something wrong, and the prison boss has not done it.
When he returned to the house, he said to Feng Ziyong: "Second cousin, Li, the prison chief of the prison, took care of me a lot. I promised him to be a squad leader. Please ask my second cousin to agree to this matter."
Feng Ziyongzheng was not angry and said, "No, can he be unresponsible if someone died in prison? He also wants to be the head of the shift, so it would be good not to punish him."
Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "My second cousin forgot? Li Tou knows the cause and effect of this matter. If he does not reward those who have made meritorious people, he may have many things to do in Wuchang County."
Feng Ziyong thought about this, it was just now that he had just arrived here and had no confidants yet. So what if he gave him a team leader, he nodded after he figured it out.
Zhu Hongsanyi saw that everything was done. He bowed to Feng Ziyong and went home.
After leaving the county government gate, Zhu Hongsan still felt that freedom was the best. Qian Fatty and Zhu Hongsan said goodbye and went home without mentioning it.
Zhu Hongsan took back the horse and thought: "I was going to go to the farm to see it, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in the past two days. Now I have an injury on my leg, so I'm afraid I'm worried when I go home. I'd better go to the farm and take care of my injuries before going to the Ma family to propose marriage."
Zhu Hongsan made up his mind to ride a horse and rushed to the south farm.
After arriving at the farm, before he could enter the farm, he saw Ma Youfu, who was looking at the gate of the Ma family, come out to greet him. Zhu Hongsan was very surprised, why did he come? Ma Youfu came to him and took the reins and said, "Sister-in-law is back."
Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "Old Ma, why are you here?"
Ma Youfu said, "The second young master said that his son-in-law wanted to purchase goods from his own caravan. My eldest brother is the caravan manager, so the second young master asked me to be a contact person."
Zhu Hongsan nodded. When Tieniu saw Zhu Hongsan coming, he pulled Zhu Hongsan aside and said, "Brother, the second son of the Ma family has sent someone to come. This is to steal our property."
Zhu Hongsan smiled. He knew what Tie Niu meant. In the past, there were not many people, and this farm was all under the control of Tie Niu. Now, it is inevitable that someone will be a little dissatisfied with him. Zhu Hongsan said: "Tie Niu, our family business will gradually grow. You will have to manage tens of thousands of people and 100,000 people in the future. Ma Youfu is just here to be responsible for our business dealings. You are still responsible for the production side. Don't worry, they can't take our industry."
