Chapter 260 The State Government Finalizes the Case

ps: Thanks to the Creator Book Friend, Hongmeng’s monthly ticket, the third update has been completed.

Tian Lan was too lazy to think about it, even though he sat down, he was furious and shouted, "Brother, why did he refuse? Since he doesn't give us face, we don't have to give him face anymore! I wonder if our Sunai County is a great hero, who is disrespectful to our family? Today, he criticized our family's face. A real man should not be humiliated! You allow me to take someone to rescue Chen Rui! Anyway, there are acquaintances in the county prison. I will be able to steal him out in just half a day and take this shame!"

"Don't mess around!"

Tian Peng thought for a while and said, "Yes, the chief clerk is a famous scholar, and his reputation is different from the previous county magistrates. It is indeed inappropriate and rude to send only one guest to invite him. So, it is still early at this time. Alan, you prepare a cart for me, and I will go and invite him in person."

Tian Peng was very reluctant, but his elder brother was like his father, but he could not stop him. He took the order out viciously and angrily, and prepared the cart. Tian Peng changed his clothes, took seven or eight followers, went to the government office, and invited Tian Feng again.

When he arrived outside the government office, he did not go in directly to show his respect. He got out of the car and asked the old guard to report again. Soon, the old guard went back and said, "The chief clerk is taking a shower. I am afraid he will not be able to see you now."

"It's okay. It's just a banquet tonight, what did the chief clerk say?"

"The chief clerk said, thank you for your kindness. But he just returned to the government office and still has a lot of official duties to deal with. I'm afraid there will be no time in the near future."

Seeing that the old man looked unstable and he was sucking and spitting, Tian Peng asked, "Why are you stammering? Could it be that the chief clerk said something else?"

"The chief clerk didn't say anything else. When the villain came out of the house, the chief clerk's followers said something to the villain."

"What did you say?"

"Say: If Mr. Tian came for Chen Rui, it would be very simple to ask the chief clerk to put Chen Rui on. There is no need to invite the chief clerk to have wine. He just needs to convert the money to the wine."

The guests who followed Tian Peng all looked angry and said angrily: "This old dog dares to be so bold! Has it blackmailed the head of the head?"

Tian Peng felt relieved and thought, "If I expected, Tian Feng was just going to give him a blow to a few dollars. He is a famous family and is appreciated by Liu Duliao. It would be better to not offend him or not. Giving him some money is not anything." He smiled, "Tell the chief clerk, I understand what he meant, and I will send the wine tonight." He took the cart back and left squeakingly.

In the backyard of the government office, Tian Feng finished his bathing, and put on his clothes under the custody of the official maid. When he left the door, the entourage soldier who was waiting outside asked, "Chief, why did you refuse before, but just asked us to pass the message, hinting that he asked him to send money?"

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Although I am the chief clerk of the Liao Dynasty, I am temporarily serving in the military and political affairs of Yuyang, I am still a county magistrate. Yuyang Tian is a citizen under my rule. How could I come to have a drink just because a guest of his family invites me? So I rejected them before."

"Why did we ask us to send a message and hint?"

"Tian Peng is the son of the leader of the Tian clan of Yuyang. He came to invite him in person. If I refuse again, it would cause him doubts. But I really don't want to go there, so I asked you to send me a message and ask him to send some money to calm him down."

"When he delivers the money, will he really release Chen Rui?"

"Let me go?" Tian Feng smiled and did not answer the question, saying, "You should go to Yuyang County Prison to teach your son Jing, Xianhe comes to see me. After I ask clearly, I will go to the State Prefecture tomorrow morning and ask the governor to convict his family!"

Although Xiao Bing said that "evidence" was already available, this matter was of great importance. Tian Feng had to ask questions in person. As long as he asked, it was undoubtedly time to take action. To be honest, Liu He knew very well about his thoughts. Under the pressure of the Xianbei issue, he really didn't have much leisure and effort to fight wits and courage with local tyrants. He just wanted to cut the mess quickly and deal with the matter as soon as possible so as to devote himself to the next plan.

Jian Yong came and Tian Feng met them in the backyard. Because time was tight, he didn't say much and asked straight to the point: "Yesterday, the lord wrote to me if I had everything ready?"

Jian Yong replied, "Yes." He looked out of the hall and saw that there were no outsiders in the courtyard. Yin Yuan Wuwei was standing guard at the gate of the courtyard. He immediately stood up, took out something from his arms, walked to the desk where Tian Feng was sitting, and handed it over.

Tian Feng caught it and saw a bamboo slip and a puppet villain. The bamboo slips were written on it, which read: "Hanshi, I have two children, and it will be two days." But the puppet villain said: "Liu Hong will die"

Tian Feng immediately knew it, but he deliberately asked, "What is this?"

Qian Zhao replied: "This is the evidence of the crime that will be found from the Tian family in Yuyang."

Xiao Bing continued with a smile: "This is a real evil saying, sin and three genitals."

Last summer, a woman in Zhuo County gave birth to a child with two heads and four arms, and was regarded as a monster. This incident soon spread throughout Youzhou, and most people in the state also knew about this. "Taking two heads of children" is about this. People only have one head, just like there is only one sun in the sky. The so-called "the sky has no two suns", but now people have two heads, wouldn't that mean "the sky is two days"?

What is "devil words"? Ominous words that confuse the public are "devil words". According to the law, those who commit this crime will be destroyed at the least, and those who commit this crime will be punished by the three tribes at the worst, and even those who involve guests, old friends and friends at the same time.

Tian Feng was very satisfied. It seemed that Jian Yong and the others fully understood what he meant, and the charge he had brought up was just right.

He returned the bamboo slips to Qianzhao, snatched the case and said, "So, go back and tell the Yuyang County Magistrate, and ask him to write to the governor tomorrow morning to report the Yuyang Tian family's evil words to confuse the public."

Chen Rui was captured in Yuyang County, and the county magistrate was the first in charge. He had to take charge of the report. Tian Feng could not cross the chef and replace him. However, he would not stand by and watch. He paused and said, "Tell the county magistrate and ask him to write another document for me. I will also write to the governor at the same time."

There is only one county magistrate, and the governor may not pay attention to it, but if he is added, the signature of a famous scholar is there, and the governor must pay attention to it. Sure enough, the next day, when the county magistrate and Tian Feng wrote to the governor one after another, a state official came on a horse that afternoon, but he was Tian Feng's acquaintance, the governor Gongcao Xianyufu.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and there were four types of serious crimes of speech, namely: slander, false speech, non-adaptable words and evil words. In addition to "not appropriate words", the other three are often punished with "class punishment", that is, the clan punishment. Because their punishment is severe and it is also a crime of speech, this type of crime is different from those criminal crimes. The biggest difference is that criminal crimes, such as murder, arson, stealing, and robbery, all have conclusive evidence, but such crimes are "criminal for words" and are difficult to determine in evidence. In other words, it can be understood as: if you say you are guilty, you are guilty, and if you are not guilty, you are not guilty. It is precisely because of this characteristic that in the hands of cruel officials, such crimes are often abused.

After Xian Yufu met Tian Feng, his first sentence was: "Do you know the serious crime of '第一'?"

"I know." Tian Feng replied without changing his face: "Chen Rui, a guest at the Tian family in Yuyang, was invited to have a drink in Yuyang County. Because he gathered to gambling, he was taken down by the Yuyang County Government. In order to atone for his sins, he took the initiative to report that the head of the Tian family in Yuyang was guilty of being a traitor. I have already written these stories clearly in the book."

"You mean the case has nothing to do with you?"

Tian Feng defaults.

Xian Yufu was not willing to believe him! He stared at him and said, "The crime of evil words is that one person commits a crime, and it is prohibited to three families, and it is often implicated hundreds, or even thousands of people. Last year, in the Qingzhou evil words case, more than 400 people were convicted, nearly half of them were killed, and most of the rest were exiled for thousands of miles... Since you know the seriousness of this crime, can there be conclusive evidence?
