The four hundred and fortieth chapters follow the sky
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, shops should be opened, snow cleared to welcome guests, and neighbors should pay New Year greetings and receive gifts.
Although many shops in the city have opened, the streets are still sparsely populated. Many people ride donkey carts out of the city to pay New Year greetings, which makes them a little angry.
At the same time, the news that the second son of the Qin family was beheaded on New Year's Eve swept the entire county like wind.
Of course, some people question the authenticity of this matter.
After all, the Qin family is so powerful that there are more than a hundred guards at the mansion alone. It is said that the second son of the Qin family also spent a lot of money to hire martial arts masters as personal guards. How could he be killed so easily?
And he was killed on New Year's Eve when the Qin Mansion was most heavily guarded. This is too mysterious!
Many people did not believe in evil and ran to the Qin Mansion to find out what was going on. However, they were shouted back by the guards of the Qin Mansion. Although they did not know the truth of the matter, the white silk cloth and white candle lanterns hanging on the eaves of the Qin family told them,
There have indeed been many deaths in the Qin family these past two days.
For a time, the whole city was talking about it.
"It's so satisfying to die well!"
"I wonder which hero has such martial arts and can kill people in the heavily guarded Qin Mansion! If I bump into this hero, I will hold his hand and go to Zuixian Tower to get drunk!"
An insider stroked his hand and said: "The third son of my second uncle's third grandma's niece's family was on duty at the county government yesterday. He said that the Xian family came down from the mountain to kill him."
"Yes, yes, last night, my cousin took me to Hualiu Street. You know the leader of the Immortal Tower. On New Year's Eve, Qin Yun called her to wait on her. After seeing the whole process, Qin Yun was indeed raped by a little fairy.
I was beheaded by the little fairy. I heard that he died a miserable death. He was beaten to a pulp by the little fairy with his sword. Several of his servants who usually followed him to do evil also had their heads chopped off by the fairy. It was really satisfying!
"
"Hahaha, good killing, we have lost a big disaster in Yongzhou!"
"This beast, relying on his own power, has done countless evil things, and now he has finally received his retribution!"
"The sage said: Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and you will be blessed! It is good to do more good deeds and accumulate more negative virtues!"
Everyone had a heated discussion, feeling proud and elated, and extremely happy in their hearts.
Some people even rushed to tell each other, telling the details of Qin Yun's death over and over again, eager to tell the world.
Many maidens, upon hearing the news, went out to the streets together with their parents, their faces beaming with joy, as if it was a new New Year's Eve.
At this time, a policeman came to the street, carrying a gong in his hand, beating it with a 'buzzing' sound, and shouted loudly: "Master Gan is in the high hall. The people who were persecuted by the Qin family went to the county government office to play drums."
Redress your grievances! All petitions will be accepted and sent to the imperial court in Jinling, three days, only three days!"
The officer's words were like sparks swept by the wind, setting off a prairie fire in the city.
"Is this Lord Gan going to change his character after the Chinese New Year?"
"Don't say anything bad about Mr. Gan. After all, the Qin family is the head of the country. If you sit in that position, do you dare to take care of the Qin family?"
"I'm going to file a complaint. That beast of the Qin family raped Widow Wang's daughter a few months ago. Widow Wang had no way to file a complaint. She took her daughter with her to hang high beams in the room. Fortunately, the neighbors discovered it early..."
"I also want to sue. Those people from the Qin family are not human beings at all. They came to my restaurant to eat and never gave me any money!"
"Me too, a few people who take advantage of others often take things from my store!"
"Daughter-in-law, there is no need to prepare lunch. Our family has three acres of land occupied by Qin Gou. Go to the county government immediately to file a complaint!"
Public outrage gradually arose, and the loud drums of the county government kept beating. The dust and snow at the door of the county government reached calf-deep levels and was trampled into a thin sheet of ice.
The county magistrate, who was sitting at the door and dressed in a blue official uniform, looked at the long queue at the door and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
The chief clerk on the other side couldn't help but scolded: "You can talk in air conditioner, why don't you come and help me write the petition? My hand has never stopped. The first three masters in the county government are not enough!"
The people in the city had been grudged against the Qin family for a long time. Some of the literate people had already written the petition at home. As for those who could not read Chinese characters, they told it orally to the county government clerk, and the master and others helped to copy it.
Lin Yanli and Li Zhujiu saw that the masters in the county government were really working hard, so they helped with the copying. The two of them sat under the lobby, moving their fingers very fast. By the end of the day, they had filled two wooden boxes with just the petitions.
After hearing the news, some villagers from the nearby county also came in donkey carts. Among them was the villager from Yaojia Town. The blind old woman was very conspicuous in the crowd.
At such an old age, she came here with the crowd, firstly to reverse the verdict of her tragically dead granddaughter, and secondly, to express her gratitude to the Xian family in person.
The old woman was carrying a vegetable basket filled with eggs. She was reluctant to eat these eggs, but she was willing to give them to Li Shang.
Gan Diao, dressed in a red robe, was sitting in the seat of the county magistrate. Looking at these simple civilians, he couldn't help but feel that the people's hearts carry the boat and the country is stable.
Looking back on my own inaction for more than ten years, and even choosing to compromise and turn a blind eye because of the pressure from the Qin family, I was so ashamed that I wanted to use my head to grab the ground to atone for my sin.
Especially when he saw the blind old woman who he had forced into the case ten years ago, he couldn't help but burst into tears and kowtowed.
The Qin family had been cultivating in Yongzhou for many years, and the crimes they had committed were too numerous to record. In three days, they copied 627 files, and included ten large boxes of pleadings.
Such many crimes are enough to kill a hundred Qin family members.
Three days had passed, and people from far away still came to the county government office to beat drums and complain. However, Lin Yanli had no choice but to postpone it for another two days. It was not until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year that this unknown fire quietly subsided.
Lin Yanli stood in the high hall with her fingers on the magistrate's chair. She looked at the dense fingerprints on the table and raised the corners of her mouth.
The abbot of the Qin Mansion took a carriage to Jinling the day before yesterday. Although the speed was faster than her, no matter how fast it was, could it be faster than the Flying Sword?
Lin Yanli put the Book of Ten Thousand People into the Flying Sword of Communication and delivered it without hesitation. As for who would present it to the emperor, she had already thought about it.
When the King of Jinling Zhenchuan was involved in the personal conspiracy case, there was a minister named Zheng Yi who was an upright and resolute man and was very efficient in doing things. He was the best candidate.
Of course, in order to prevent Lord Zheng Yi from colluding with the abbot, Lin Yanli also gave the Imperial Master of Rouge a flying sword.
In this way, things will be much safer.
After staying in the city for eight days, Lin Yanli picked a good day and went shopping on the streets. After shopping all afternoon, Lin Yanli picked up some fine wines that Qin Kunyu had never bought in some open wineries.
This is also a gain.
This trip to Yongzhou has a lot of small things to do, but if you go with the flow, it is another improvement in your xinxing!
