Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 285 Lin Zheng died because of overconfidence
"Hmph, do you still want to fight hard with me? Don't weigh yourself. Feng Shecai, are you the same as him, refusing to plead guilty?"

Feng Shecai looked at Ji Bugang, sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I admit it. Master Qin has already checked so clearly that he can't deny it even if he wants to."

Feng Shecai clasped his fists together, and said to Qin Feng: "Master Qin, I am willing to admit to all the crimes I have committed, but I can only ask for one thing. Yan Yan is innocent, she has never done anything... I beg Mr. Qin to hold your hand high, Let her go."

Feng Shecai pleaded guilty, and the common people were not very surprised.

After all, Qin Feng has put the evidence on his face, whether it is Ji Bugang or Feng Shecai, it is useless to deny it.

However, Feng Shecai's address to Gan Yanyan really surprised everyone.

"Yanyan? Why is it so affectionate?"

"That's right... Isn't this Gan Yanyan the seventh lady of the magistrate? Could it be..."

"Hey, our prefect, could it be that someone put on a cuckold?"

The people whispered.

In the courtroom, the magistrate also heard that this address was extremely awkward, and he stood up angrily: "Feng Shecai, you are so presumptuous, and Yanyan is also your name?"

Feng Shecai glanced at the magistrate, sneered, and ignored him.

Seeing this, Qin Feng asked: "What happened to the case, what exactly happened? If she is really innocent, the officer will forgive me. But if the officer discovers any mistakes and finds out that she has participated in the harm, Then the official cannot agree to you."

"False ones can't be true. No matter how clever a lie is, it can be exposed in front of the official. So, don't try to deceive the official with lies anymore. It won't work."

Feng Shecai nodded and said: "Yes, it doesn't work. Everyone in the city has been fooled by such a clever way of feigning death, and none of them can fool you, my lord... Don't worry, everything I say next is true."

"Okay, tell me. Lao Wan, make a record."

"Yes, my lord!"

Wan Kunming sat aside and temporarily acted as the head of the magistrate's yamen.

"The theft of Kuyin was done by me, Ji Bugang, and Gongyang Lian."

"The three of us made friends in private and planned to open a better restaurant together. But opening a restaurant requires a lot of money. The monthly salary of the three of us adds up to only 100 taels. We didn't save it on weekdays. There’s no money at all.”

"After discussing it, I want to borrow some money from the treasury first."

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

To steal is to say steal, and to borrow...

The common people couldn't help whispering to each other, complaining: "It's still convenient for officials to borrow money, and the money in the bank can be borrowed casually" and other words.

Feng Shecai continued.

"The three of us planned for three months and dug the tunnel leading to the bank. With Ji Bugang as the internal response, we smashed through the floor of the bank and successfully obtained 3 taels of silver."

"The money...isn't much at all. We calculated that as long as the restaurant is opened, we can make up for this hole before the accounting department checks at the end of the year. The quarterly checks on weekdays are handled by Ji Bugang, so we can handle it."

Qin Feng sighed again.

All Lao Lai in this world start with the idea of ​​"I will be able to repay it, and I will have a good life after repaying it" when I borrow money.

In fact, borrowed money is too easy to get, and you don't know how to cherish it when you spend it.

It is easy to go from being frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Once you get used to spending money lavishly, it is not so easy to save money.

In the end, it will only be that the borrowed money is not paid, and the own money cannot be saved.

Qin Feng remembered that many of his friends around him were like this before he crossed over.

It's just that Qin Feng didn't expect that this kind of luck concept has existed since ancient times.

Then read on.

"Who knows, in those few days Lin Zheng and Ji Bugang had a few quarrels. When counting Kuyin, Ji Bugang clearly reported the number, but Lin Zheng insisted on checking again. As a result, Kuyin was found out. lost."

"He has an upright personality, and he belongs to the kind of person who is useless in coercion and temptation. Ji Bu just knew his character, but he didn't dare to tell him the truth. He only said that he would find a way to make up for it except for omissions when he was on duty. Yinzi, tell him to keep silent."

"Lin Zheng agreed in person, but behind the scenes, because of the conflict between the two of them, he directly reported the matter to the magistrate. Because Lin Zheng knew that the treasury was strictly guarded, and unless the guards stole it, the money would not be lost at all. He thought Let Ji Bugang throw away the work at hand."

"The magistrate ordered him to investigate. We thought that the underground passage of the bank treasury was hidden very secretly and would not be discovered. Unexpectedly, he discovered the clue and found the entrance of the tunnel. He went in and just reached the Tongju Yamen. He heard me A conversation between the three."

"If he sneaked away that day and turned around and reported the crime secretly, it would only be the three of us who suffered, and so many things would not have happened later."

"But he jumped up from the tunnel arrogantly, pointed at the three of us and said he wanted to report to the police!"

"At that time, we immediately told him that we stole Kuyin to open a restaurant, and we could pay him back in the future. We begged him to be kind, and we could even share some of the profits with him."

"Unexpectedly, this guy didn't listen at all. He also said that he had solved a big case of 3 taels, and the magistrate would definitely promote him. At that time, Tong Juan and I have fallen, and he will take his place. There is still nothing in his mouth." Dirty."

"When Gongyanglian and I heard this, we were naturally angry. Ji Bugang's family is also happy, so how can we go to jail?"

"So the three of us worked together to restrain that idiot Lin Zheng, and cut off his tongue on the spot. Together, we planned to push him out to take the blame."

Hearing this, Qin Feng felt that Lin Zheng deserved to be killed.

It’s right to investigate the case, and it’s also right not to compromise with the criminals, but facing three thieves alone, and shouting to accuse them and steal their current official position, who would listen to it?
Qin Feng's idea may be criticized as "victim guilt theory" in later generations.

But the facts are like this, criminals are certainly hateful and should be cut to death, but there are indeed some victims, as long as they are smarter, they will not end up dead.

Just like this Lin Zheng, he has the ability to find out the tunnel of the bank and directly find the three bank thieves. This should be regarded as a smart person, right?
But this smart man did something as stupid as a pig, insisting on provoking three criminals by himself.

Wouldn't it be nice to hide secretly, keep the evidence of the crime, and then report it to the government, and let the government take them down?He didn't, and his tongue was cut off.

Qin Feng thought, to have such an end, the cause of death should be too self-confidence, and they dare not touch Feng Shecai, so they were passive in the end.

"Don't stop, keep talking."
