The people who were noisy in the hall suddenly fell silent: Farmers are having a hard time, and if three more mouths appear at once, including a baby who is only half a year old, it will be difficult to take care of him.
Some people also started to speak for Song Laoer: "It's the woman who takes care of the children's food and drink. How can the man in charge of the house know this? It's hard for him!"
Mr. Lin in the hall was feeling depressed about the two idiots. Hearing Song Lao Er's clever move to blame the blame, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Don't let this opportunity be wasted again. He took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Master Jiang, no matter whether old Song Defu and his wife were really abused, at least the three brothers and sisters of the Song family were raised.
This kind of nurturing grace can only be measured in degrees and degrees, and we cannot admit that it is not there."
With the support of Mr. Lin, Song Laoer immediately became energetic. He kowtowed to Jiang Feng: "Master Qingtian! The common people have been wronged!"
Is he also guilty?
This remark sparked another discussion.
The crowd outside the hall was in chaos, some people started fighting over disagreements, and the government officials also started to drive away the bystanders.
Jiang Feng's heart lifted slightly, and he looked at the three siblings.
It is difficult for an upright official to stop household chores!
No matter how difficult a criminal case is to solve, there is a clear motive, murderer, and circumstances.
There is no right or wrong in having one's strengths and weaknesses, and no matter what, as long as one is unfilial, public opinion will be unfavorable to the younger generation.
After all, bullying the younger ones is more convenient than bullying the older ones.
The change in people's hearts is the most critical at this time. The Song brothers and sisters seem to be in control, but they are also the most dangerous.
If anyone detects even a hint of arrogance, he will be scolded and everything will be lost.
As juniors, they can only show pain and tolerance, they can only suffer, and they can't even say a word of rebuttal.
Fortunately, among the Song brothers and sisters, only Song Zhenping is speaking.
Song Liyun and Xiao An were either silent or crying silently, which was very consistent with the state of being bullied.
Jiang Feng was completely relieved.
He hoped that the person standing next to the Third Young Master would be someone who was brave, resourceful, and capable of bending and stretching.
Now it seems that Song Liyun is very suitable.
Seeing that the public opinion turned towards Song Laoer again, Mr. Lin smiled and said: "Master Jiang, I still have witnesses who can prove that Song Defu did not abuse the Song brothers and sisters!"
Jiang Feng slowly raised his eyes and looked over, but did not ask the witness: "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak here?"
Mr. Lin was stunned, Jiang Feng didn't recognize him? He was pretending!
Of course Jiang Feng knew him, but this person had been hiding in the dark and now he finally jumped out!
Mr. Lin cupped his hands and said, "I am Lin Yuwen of Pingyang Mansion..."
Jiang Feng didn't wait for him to finish speaking. He slapped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any fame?"
"None! Next..."
"But a member of the Song family?"
"no!"
"Without fame and not being a close relative, people like me dare to speak out in court and disrupt the judge's judgment! Come on!"
Two government officials came out in response.
Jiang Feng had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He pointed at Mr. Lin and said, "I will punish this man with five sticks and then take him out to show the public!"
Mr. Lin was stunned. He only said a few words, but Jiang Feng dared to hit him.
How dare he hit himself!
Mr. Lin had never experienced such grievance. He pointed at Jiang Feng with anger and his hands were shaking: "Do you know who I am? If you hurt me..."
"Drag him down and beat him!"
Before Mr. Lin could say anything more, a lottery ticket was already thrown in front of him.
"Pap-pap-pap-pap!"
The yamen servant stepped forward, and when the two of them stumbled, Mr. Lin was pushed down on the bench. His buttocks went cold, and the board fell down.
"ah!!!!"
Mr. Lin never imagined that he would have his pants taken off in broad daylight in front of everyone.
At this time, all business and Tianxiang Tower were wiped out from his mind, and all that was left was shame and anger.
The five boards were quickly finished, and his servants crowded over at this time. Looking at the pale young master, they did not dare to say anything and ran out on their backs.
If he was beaten and then went out to show off to the public, the eldest son would definitely be angry to death.
Lying on the young man's back, Mr. Lin turned his head, stared at Jiang Feng fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang, please wait!"
Song Laoer was already frightened out of his wits!
He had been dancing violently in the past two days, and the only time he saw the gangster of the Xue family was having his scalp peeled off, and then he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night in the prison, and he had never really seen a beater.
At this time, looking at the well-dressed Mr. Lin, he just said he would be beaten. Except for the noise from the onlookers outside, no one dared to come up and say a word.
This...is different from quarreling in the village!
By the way, there is also Li Zheng. Mr. Lin arranged for Li Zheng to testify for him!
Song Laoer wants to bring witnesses.
After beating Mr. Lin, there were even more onlookers.
People are fickle, and at this moment, the Holy Mothers have the upper hand.
They were all accusing Jiang Feng of being a county magistrate and favoring these unfilial descendants.
At this time, I heard that Li Zheng of the Song family was also there, and even shouted for Li Zheng to tell the truth.
Song Lizheng and his son were behind the crowd, but they were brought here by Mr. Lin. Standing next to them was Zhou Xiang.
"Song Lizheng, just tell the truth and say whatever you want. Don't worry about anything else."
Zhou Xiang separated the crowd for the two of them and walked inside, while looking at Song Dekui.
The two have known each other since last year and are still friends. There has been something going on in the Song family these past two days, so they have not had a chance to get together.
When Song Dekui saw Zhou Xiang looking at him, he grinned: "Don't worry, Master Zhou Jun. We country folk can only tell the truth."
Seeing Song Lizheng standing in the court, Song Laoer whispered: "Uncle Lizheng, our two families are from the same village. In the future, our descendants will have to deal with each other. You can't ruin us for this bastard who left home."
The love between the two families.”
This is threatening Song Lizheng.
If Song Lizheng doesn't do what Mr. Lin says, he will let people come into the village to cause trouble.
We also want Song Dequan, Song Li's eldest son who is working as a clerk in the town government, to lose his job.
Song Lizheng looked directly at him with a look of disappointment: "Second brother, how could you get to this point!"
Song Laoer suddenly felt frightened: What does this old man mean? Is he going to regret it when he sees Mr. Lin being beaten?
Before he could think about it, Song Lizheng knelt down in front of Jiang Feng: "I am a common man from Xiaoshi Village, Qingping Town, Songfeng County. I am incompetent, so the three brothers and sisters of Song Zhenping had their property taken away and suffered bullying."
"This is the fault of ordinary people, please punish me!"
Wow!
People outside thought they would hear Li Zheng prove that there was no abuse, but now they heard that this was really the case.
Jiang Feng shouted in a deep voice: "Song Lizheng, although you don't need to take the imperial examination, you only have to bear the heavy responsibility because of public support. What the imperial court wants is peace and security for the country and the people. If you slack off, it will be a disaster for the country and the people!"
Song Lizheng bowed his head and said yes, as if sincerely admitting his mistake.
Seeing that the situation was over, Song Laoer's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
The eldest son was beaten, Song Li turned against him, and the bargaining chip he could offer was gone.
