The viscous and greasy egg liquid mixed with the eggshell slid off Feng Feng's face, and the fishy smell smelled like shit, as if he had been shot in the face by something.

Feng Fengqiang was disgusted and wiped the egg liquid off his face.

Before he could speak, he was hit hard on the face.A loud slap directly knocked Feng Feng to the ground.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Faced with her son's question, the woman put one hand on her hip, pointed at her son whose face was swollen by her own beating, and asked:

"Say! Why don't you go?"

"The other party is the Hu family, and the Hu family wants Liu Ga to die. What can I do?"

"You unfilial son!" The woman was so emotional that she wailed and burst into tears on the ground.

Feng Feng felt that he was not good at anything, but he felt that he was filial. No matter what good things he had, he always thought of his mother first, and never disobeyed his mother's wishes.Now being scolded by his mother for being unfilial, and being so emotional, it really frightened him.

"Mother, don't get excited. Is there anything you can't say well?"

"Let me ask you, who gave the chicken at home? Who killed your father? If you don't testify for Liu Ga, one is that you don't repay your kindness, which is regarded as disloyalty, and the other is that killing your father is revenge for you If you don't see it, it's considered unfilial. Do you know what filial piety is, loyalty, propriety, integrity and shame?"

Feng Feng showed embarrassment: "Mother, I don't know. My son is only worried about going against the Hu family this time and being hated by him. It's okay what they do to me. If they attack mother, what should I do?"

Listening to Feng Feng's explanation, the woman not only didn't like it, but laughed at herself: "Ha! It turns out that you are an unfaithful and unfilial person because of your mother, that's fine! Mother died in front of you today so that you can stop worrying about it. See What else do you say?"

The woman was not joking, she stood up suddenly, and under Feng Feng's surprised gaze, she lowered her head and slammed into the bedpost!

Quxi County——

Wang Qun was wearing a sable fur coat and a down hat, and was chilling at the gate of the county government office.The domed nose was flushed red by the cold wind, and it felt bigger than ever.

One sip of a bowl of hot tea, and it was already completely cool by the time the cup was toasted again.

Wang Qun put down the tea bowl, looked at the aisle behind the courtroom, and asked the yamen servant beside him:

"Who is Master Liu seeing? Why haven't you come out after so long?"

The yamen servant shrugged his shoulders in puzzlement.

Wang Qun began to pace impatiently.

After a while, Liu Song finally appeared, also wearing a coat, with a little frost between his brows.

Liu Song was followed by a person, wearing a big cloak and a big hat, who said goodbye to Liu Song and walked away quickly.The other party walked too fast, Wang Qun didn't see the other party's appearance clearly.But when he paid attention to the back of the other party, a gleam shot out from his little eyes!

"Soap shoes? Who else in Quxi County likes to wear shoes that were popular in the previous dynasty? People from the Han family?"

"Master, I've been waiting for a long time. Let me talk in the inner courtyard."

Liu Song's words interrupted Wang Qun's thinking, but Wang Qun believed that his guess was close to ten, so he lowered his heart and saluted Liu Song, and followed him to the inner courtyard.

The so-called master is not an official position registered by the imperial court, but is actually a staff member of a local official. He enjoys the imperial salary but has no establishment.However, the masters of a certain place have the power second only to the county magistrate and the magistrate, because their main task is to advise the local top leaders.

The imperial examination is equivalent to the modern civil service examination. If you want to have a staff, you have to take the examination. After the examination, you can be assigned to be an official.And no matter which dynasty, the products of exam-oriented education will be biased when used in real life.Most of the officials who are familiar with classical scriptures are not good at judging cases and holding power, so they have the post of master.

Most of the masters are not good at poetry, but they are all scheming men, and they are the closest and most important helpers of the county magistrate and magistrate.No matter what the case is, the county magistrate will always listen to his master's opinion before the trial.

Of course, Liu Song is a special case, and he has his own judgment on any case.But he still let Wang Qun come, even if it was just going through the motions, this procedure is still indispensable.

To be honest, Wang Qun himself knew that his master had been soy sauce under Liu Song all his life. In the past, when talking about the case, Wang Qun said most of the words "Your Excellency is wise" and "Wang also thinks so".It is precisely because of this that Liu Song is very satisfied with the current master.

Liu Song looks peaceful, but he is a person with high self-esteem.Wang Qun is also a smart person, so he can see clearly.On weekdays, he doesn't care about the affairs of the county government office, and only waits for the willow pine barrel to move before he moves.

But now Wang Qun can't be like before.

Liu Song is about to retire and return to his hometown, and he will usher in the next county magistrate. If he continues to make soy sauce like this, without any bright spots, the next county magistrate will think he is a mediocre person.

Wang Qun didn't care what others thought of him, he was afraid that the next county magistrate would not use him, and he would hire someone else, what would he do if he lost his golden job?Therefore, Wang Qun has to take advantage of this last bit of time to make some achievements.

Wang Qun has been preparing silently for a long time. From knowing nothing about the county government to knowing something now, Wang Qun has discovered many problems with Liu Song.

……

……

In the courtyard of the county yamen, everything was as usual, the county magistrate and the master sat in the main and guest seats respectively, holding tea in their hands, and began to talk about tomorrow's case.

"Master, what do you think of tomorrow's case?"

Wang Qun asked back, "How about you, my lord?"

"If you put aside all the details, it is an indisputable fact that Liu Ga killed people. I think Liu Ga should be sentenced to death for the so-called murder."

Liu Song smiled and sipped his tea, thinking that the other party would nod with a smile and say "I think so too".The expected answer did not appear, Wang Qun replied calmly:

"My lord, Mr. Wang has been to Quxi County several times, and he has a good understanding of the local situation. There are many villains of the local Hu family, and the villagers of Changping. The prisoner's claim that he murdered violently at the time of life and death should be true. This analysis , it is not impossible to acquit him."

"Huh?" Liu Song gently put down the teacup, the simple action made Wang Qun smile coldly.

Speaking of hiding his heart, Wang Qun had no flaws, he just said to himself:

"Wang believes that the sentencing tomorrow should follow public opinion."

"how do I say this?"

"It's very simple. Those who have a high reputation are right, and those who have a low voice are wrong. My lord is about to retire, and what I want is a lifetime of clarity. Following the public opinion is the right way."

Liu Song's eyes darkened, his fingers in the sleeves tightened suddenly, and he looked at Wang Qun suspiciously:

"Thank you, master, for reminding me. Let's leave it at that for today."

Wang Qun didn't say much, put down the check, rubbed his red nose from the cold, turned and left.But before he took two steps, he heard Liu Song say behind him:

"Time is running short, so don't notify the people in the county about the trial tomorrow."

Chapter 221: Assembly

The cold woke Li Quan from his sleep, the window was dimly lit, the rooster was too frozen to crow, and he couldn't tell what time it was.

It was very cold in the house, and the ground was miraculously frozen, and the fire in the brazier was also extinguished.After a closer look, I found out that it turned out that I forgot to close the window when I went to sleep yesterday.

Li Quan got up indifferently, moved his shins, put on his coat and opened the door.

A blowing snowstorm made Li Quan shiver. The whistling wind and heavy snowflakes turned the entire Bixi Village into a world of ice and snow.You can't see the appearance of the teaching ground at all, and even the observation deck in the distance is decorated like a Christmas tree covered by heavy snow.
