After reading the last sentence, Jia Yucun already understood that it corresponded to the four families.
Although there is an introduction in fine print above, for him who first arrived in Yingtian, he still couldn't correspond to the reality.
Wang Cheng is good at observing words and emotions, so he explained at this moment, "Sir, these four families on the home page are related to each other. If one loses, the other will suffer, and the other will be prosperous. They will support and protect them all."
"Uncle Xue, who is cared for by Mr. Hu, is the snow of the heavy snow in the good years."
"You said that these four families are powerful, but when they met the Zhenjiang Wei Yameni, they also suffered a dumb loss"
p>
It’s not strange for Jia Yucun to think this way, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Xue Pan’s attitude changed drastically and he suddenly decided not to take revenge.
"I don't know about this little one"
Wang Cheng would never have thought that the Xue family, who were as precious as earth and gold as iron, would now worry about money.
"Since the Xue family will not pursue the case, the squire's son can be released."
"The person who came to deliver the message from the Xue family said that the young man from the Feng family should be released, but Mr. Hu did not accept it. , but instead tortured him to extract confessions and tried to convict him of fighting and killing each other."
"The Xue family servants were killed by Zhenjiang Guards"
"Yes" Wang Cheng nodded.
"This is interesting." Jia Yucun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the fragrant tea.
"I heard that the Feng family has very little wealth, so Master Hu is afraid."
Wang Cheng didn't say the next words. He believed that Jia Yucun understood.
The hall suddenly became quiet. While Jia Yucun squinted in thought, Wang Cheng knew what was going on and did not speak again.
Faced with the current situation, Jia Yucun thought of a lot.
In the past, he might have acted impartially and spoken out to stop Hu Jinan's illegal behavior.
But after being squeezed out by his colleagues, suppressed by his superiors, and eventually impeached and removed from office, his benevolence and righteousness disappeared.
Now, facing the regained official position, he has become a slave with a black hat on his head. Justice and law are no longer important.
Jia Yucun himself is guilty of becoming such a person, and the dirty officialdom is also responsible.
"Let him go. If something happens, he will bear it himself."
Sighing, Jia Yucun shook his head helplessly.
As long as he can make up the money, Jia Yucun can turn a blind eye to anything Hu Jinan does.
Yingtian Mansion, inside the prison.
In the dark corner, Feng Yuan looked haggard and stared straight at the window on the wall, which was the only place where he could see light.
From a well-dressed young master to a prisoner covered in wounds, it only took one day.
In this day, Feng Yuan experienced life and death, and it felt longer than the past few years.
The past of wearing bright clothes and angry horses, being extravagant and idle, kept reappearing in his mind. Now when he reflects on himself, Feng Yuan feels that he has accomplished nothing.
If I had followed my late father’s teachings and devoted myself to studying, I would probably have achieved fame by now.How could it be that people are being exploited as much as they are now?
The officer had made it clear to him that if he wanted to survive, he had to take money, at least five thousand taels of silver was enough.
This is what Hu Jinan wants to make up for his shortcomings.
Hu Jinan cannot afford to offend the Xue family, and the people of Zhenjiang Wei can also cause trouble. Only the Feng family has no power and power, but they have a lot of money in the countryside. How can Hu Jinan let it go so easily.
What surprised Hu Jinan was that Feng Yuan did not give in after several rounds of torture, but actually managed to survive.
For this reason, Hu Jinan ordered people to stop him from eating and drinking. By now, Feng Yuan had been hungry for two meals.
At this moment, Feng Yuan was not only hurt all over his body, but his stomach was also growling with hunger.
Just at this moment, footsteps came from outside the cell, which was particularly harsh in the quiet cell.
Feng Yuan did not move. He was too hungry to move, and the injuries on his body made him not want to move.
It was normal for him not to react, and the prisoners in other cells looked towards where they came from when they heard the movement.
A few breaths later, an official wearing a brown robe appeared in the corridor, followed by two jailers, one of whom was holding a food box in his hand.
"Sir, we were wronged"
"Please send a message to my family and ask my wife to go to my uncle's house to borrow money and clear things up"
"Sir, when will my sentence be handed down?"
The prisoners rushed to the room one after another, shouting loudly for themselves, and the originally quiet cell suddenly turned into a bustling city.
The surroundings were as noisy as the city, but the clerk remained unmoved and came to Feng Yuan's cell.
"Shut up, don't dare to say more when you go back, don't eat tonight"
"You have to clean up, right?"
The jailer scolded him and held water and fire at the same time He kept beating the stick on the cell, causing all the prisoners to retreat in fright.
When the scene became quiet, the clerk pointed to the lock in front of the door, and the jailer behind him immediately took out the key and stepped forward.
As a "high-end customer", Feng Yuan has a separate cell with tables and stools.
After entering the cell, the clerk found a stool and sat on it, while the jailer opened the food box and took out the food inside.
Roasted chicken with stewed vegetables and stir-fried bacon with bamboo shoots, the aroma suddenly filled the air, attracting the prisoners around to stare at them, their throats surging.
Feng Yuan is no exception, just because he is too hungry.
At this moment, he could only try his best to turn his head to the side and think of other things to divert his attention.
"Bring him here"
The two jailers quickly lifted Feng Yuan onto a stool and sat down.
Seeing Feng Yuan turning sideways, turning to the side and lowering his head without saying a word, the clerk picked up the pot and poured a glass of water, and then pushed it in front of Feng Yuan.
"I just asked you to use a little torture, but why did you end up like this?"
"Human life is at stake. If you accidentally beat someone to death, your country's laws will not tolerate it."
The two jailers were stunned for a moment, this is notDid you let him be beaten? What are you going to blame now?
While the two jailers lowered their eyebrows and were being scolded, the clerk was staring at Feng Yuan. move.
After thinking for a while, the clerk said again, "Feng Yuan, I'm here to help you."
"You haven't eaten for two meals. These people are really too much. I'll look back." I will teach them a lesson."
"You eat now. Your job is actually very simple. After you finish eating, you sign and sign, and you can go out in two days."
Meet Feng Yuan still didn't respond, so the clerk picked up the bowl and scooped out a bowl of soup from the jar. "Come on, let's drink some soup first."
However, his enthusiasm was still not responded to. This made the official lose face.
Putting down the pottery bowl, the clerk said slowly, "You have also read books. Don't you understand the principle of losing money to avoid disasters?"
"Money is precious, but it is nothing compared to you." Life doesn't matter anymore."
Picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pig head meat and put it into his mouth. The clerk chewed it with squinted eyes.
"It smells so good"
Putting down his chopsticks, the clerk continued slowly, "I read the fish scale book this afternoon, and I also know the details of your family."
" In the village, your Feng family has 80 acres of first-class paddy fields, 130 acres of second-class paddy fields, and more than 170 acres of dry land."
"At the current market price, if you sell these fields, It’s easy to collect five thousand taels of silver, and you can still have dozens of acres of land left.”
Of course, even though there are dozens of acres of land left, the Feng family has essentially collapsed. The efforts of seven or eight generations will All in vain.
At that time, even if he, Feng Yuan, can live on dozens of acres of land, he will still face his ancestors in the spring without words, and his life will be worse than death.
This is also the reason why Feng Yuan carried it to his death and did not sell his property.
The past few years have been ridiculous, and now that he is in this situation, he is no longer willing to continue his mistakes and become a sinner of the Feng family.
Even if he dies, the family will have another branch to take over, and the ancestors will not be short of incense and sacrifices.
