Chapter 182 Just change the father and change the surname Feng
The people in Zhulin Village worked overtime to produce, but as soon as they were produced here, they were sold over there, and they could hardly keep the goods.
Tang Shijin spread the word, and people from several nearby villages came to sell bamboo cores. After all, it was an easy job, and those with good hands could pick three to five kilograms a day, which was thirty or fifty cents!
As long as the quality is acceptable, Tang Shijin will charge the price.
Later, she selected eight people from her hometown and neighboring villages to learn how to fry tea. They had to sign a deed to be apprentices. After learning, they had to work for her for ten years. Countryside people are very hard-working and they learned quickly. , the output gradually increased.
After selling for half a month, the tea house's sales gradually leveled off. Half of the inventory could be saved in a day, and then more than half, and then more and more.
Tang Congwen was still a little anxious, but Tang Shijin directly asked him to do as much as he could without worrying about selling.
The more popular the Baojunxin Tea House becomes, the more the affairs of the Yang family and the Feng family will be brought out for speculation. Suddenly, everyone knows about the speculation.
Now Feng Renpu and Guo Tong are both in prison. Considering their charges, neither of them can escape death.
Shen Zhi's people were strictly guarded, and Magistrate Lin was really cowardly and speechless. He didn't dare to offend the prime minister, and was afraid of Guo Tong's revenge, so he pretended to be sick and asked for help with great fanfare day by day. When doctors ask for medicine, they are afraid that others will not believe it.
Now, there was no need for Hua Lang, all the scholars couldn't help it anymore, and they wrote poems and articles one after another, scolding Magistrate Lin and Prime Minister Guo for being a nest of snakes and rats.
But Shen Zhi was busy getting married, and couldn't take care of it for a while. And to put it bluntly, they were not afraid of him robbing prison. If he really robbed prison, so what if he escaped, then they would be fugitives, and their tea garden, family property, and county magistrate would be gone.
The only ones left in the family were Mrs. Feng and her two daughters, who had exactly the same August 15th face and came to the jail every day to cry.
In the end, Feng Renpu and Guo Tong, who didn't know what was going on outside, thought things had calmed down, so they instructed them to give gifts to Magistrate Lin.
After all, Shen Zhi was already offended to death, but Magistrate Lin could still fight for it.
With a lot of money, Magistrate Lin was finally bought, and then he started to make trouble.
At this time, the official's wedding leave was nine days, so before Shen Zhi got married, County Magistrate Lin pretended to interrogate them, then said there was insufficient evidence and let Feng Renpu and Feng Renpu go.
Originally, the two of them could just go home quietly in a low-key manner, but as soon as they came out, someone shouted from somewhere: "Feng Batian is out! Guo Laogou is out too!"
Yes, the two of them already have resounding nicknames, Feng Batian and Guo Laogou.
Then a group of little beggars rushed out and quickly formed a circle around them. The bamboo poles tapped the ground gently and rhythmically, and with a uniform click, they sang "Lotus Falls":
At 3:00 pm on the twelfth lunar month, the housekeeper of the Feng family entered Taoyuan.
I was rejected and the peach blossom boy didn't meet me.
Xu Zhengyun'er covered the moon and sent five carts of gifts to Linyuan.
After accepting the gift, he tried the case, but he kept telling lies with his eyes wide open.
The Feng family mixed chrysanthemums with blood and drank it, and the Feng family paid for their lives with money.
He is not guilty of robbing the Tao and destroying his family. All he has to do is change his father’s name to Feng!”
Guo Tong scolded them repeatedly, but these people were not afraid at all and sang loudly and melodiously.
There were more and more people watching, and there was a lot of discussion. At this moment, someone said: "What a good one. All I have to do is change my father's name to Feng!"
When Guo Tong raised his head, his eyes suddenly went dark.
A few beggars are nothing, they can be killed secretly, but... there are many scholars coming not far away. When he saw the scholar's shirts, Guo Tong said in his heart: "It's over! It's over!"
At that time, a man with an upright appearance and a majestic air said loudly to the inside: "Master Lin is here, Han Xun pays my respects!"
It turns out that this person is Han Juren, a lecturer at the county academy.
Magistrate Lin could pretend to be dead, but he wouldn't dare to bring someone to the door!
He could only come out and cup his hands, and said tremblingly: "Brother Han, please, please come in and serve tea."
"No need." Han Xun said: "It's better to explain it clearly in front of everyone! I dare to ask your lord, why can Feng Renpu be freed without guilt after buying a murderer? Why can Guo Tong get away with committing a crime and robbing a prison?"
Magistrate Lin's smile was uglier than crying: "Because...because there is insufficient evidence...so, so I just..."
Someone said loudly: "Because I received a gift!"
Several people said: "Yes! Because I received the five-car gift from the Feng family!"
"Is that so?" Han Xun asked, "Did Mr. Lin confuse right and wrong because of the gift of five cars? Let the criminals go privately?"
He spoke in a gentle manner, but his words were very sharp. Magistrate Lin was not a good debater in the first place, so he could only say: "There is insufficient solid evidence, absolutely no, absolutely no other reason."
Han Xun said: "There is insufficient evidence. Could it be that those ten or so people were not gangsters? Nor did they accept money from the Feng family in order to kill Xiaoniang Tang?"
County Magistrate Lin sweated one after another: "Yes, yes."
"But as far as I know, these more than ten people were captured by Mr. Shen on the way to rob and kill Tang Xiaoniang! They all had their swords drawn at that time, how could they be unjust? And if these people are not gangsters, why didn't they let them go?
Only Feng Renpu and Guo Tong were released!? Why?"
Someone said: "Because they don't have money to give gifts!"
Everyone laughed.
Magistrate Lin's face turned the color of pig liver from suppressing his emotions and he did not dare to say a word.
Han Xun said: "Please, sir, rein in the situation and retry the case! Clear the name of the Yang family! Give justice to Tang Xiaoniang!"
County Magistrate Lin was confused by the overwhelming crowd, and he did not realize that his first move was equivalent to admitting his previous bending of the law for personal gain...
So those who were let go in a daze could only be caught again in a daze.
The next day Tang Shijin was speechless after listening to Hualang's vivid lecture.
She asked Yan Baiwei: "Why is this County Magistrate Lin so stupid? So bold, yet so timid?"
She was almost incoherent: "I'm really convinced, tell me what kind of thing he did? He has no law and no brains!"
Yan Baiwei said calmly: "If you can study, you may not be an official. Moreover, if you can't even study, you may not be an official... You spent money to buy fame and officialdom. Of course you have to work hard."
Earn it back."
He paused and said, "My dear, the eunuchs are in power, and it's very difficult to find a good official."
Tang Shijin complained: "But it's not easy to meet someone so stupid and ignorant, right?" She asked Hualang: "What happened next?"
Hua Lang said: "Later, Han Juren brought the scholars in, and I couldn't bear to hear it. However, later Han Juren came out and said that Magistrate Lin promised to hear the case in public tomorrow morning, and the people can watch."
Tang Shijin couldn't help but nod: "This person is not bad!"
She sighed again: "Such a grand event has something to do with us, but Sixth Brother didn't even go there! Alas! Young Master Peach Blossom, a young master who only lives in the lotus flower!"
