Mr. Feng Shui of the Republic of China

Fan Jin was restrained by Sun Wenxi, but cursed in his mouth: "You bastard, attacking an innocent girl is worse than a beast."

Sun Wenxi's subordinates pressed hard, causing Fan Jin to yell, "Why do you say I'm dirty with her innocence?"

"Pan Yan is the witness, she is a good girl, how could she still make false accusations against you?" Fan Jin said confidently.

After hearing this, Pan Yan cried even more, feeling very sad.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Miao Min, who insisted on his own opinion, carried Peng Tian out.

Peng Tian looked at the surrounding environment. The incident happened behind the rockery, and there were few people there on weekdays.

"Why is Mr. Sun here?" Peng Tian frowned.

"Then I have to ask Miss Panyan." Sun Wenxi looked cold, "She pretended to be a messenger, saying that Jing Sheng wanted to see me, so I followed."

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't!" Pan Yan said anxiously, "It's clear that you met me here with the intention of doing something wrong."

Peng Tian looked coldly at Pan Yan, who was out of breath from crying, and asked doubtfully, "It's late at night, what are you doing here alone?"

Pan Yan's eyes flashed, and her answer was a little weaker: "It's just a casual stroll."

A trace of suspicion flashed in Peng Tian's eyes.

But in a blink of an eye, Pan Yan began to sob: "As a woman, how can I laugh at the matter of fame and festivals?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was deeply convinced.

After all, it's not a matter of honor. How could an innocent woman make fun of this at will.

When Xia Jingsheng learned of this, Sun Wenxi had already been locked in a darkroom, awaiting interrogation.

The moment Xia Jingsheng heard the news, he felt it was ridiculous.

Although Sun Wenxi looked cynical on weekdays, he was a real noble son in his heart, not to mention being upright, he would definitely not do such nasty things.

Xia Jingsheng hurried to the darkroom, but was stopped by Fan Jin who came out halfway.

"Xiao Chi." Fan Jin looked at Xia Jingsheng with a half-smile.

"Don't call me that." Xia Jingsheng looked at Fan Jin impatiently.

Seeing his thorny appearance, Fan Jin sneered and said, "In such a hurry, who are you rushing to see?"

"It's none of your business!" Xia Jingsheng said, and was about to bypass Fan Jin.

Fan Jin blocked Xia Jingsheng's way again.

"Sun Wenxi is going to die." Fan Jin said with a sneer, "Foreigners intending to defile the Miao family's daughter will be sentenced to fire."

Xia Jingsheng clenched his fists: "You?! Is this related to you?"

"It's related to me... If I hadn't arrived in time, how could Pan Yan, a weak woman, have escaped Sun Wenxi's clutches." Fan Jin laughed complacently, and Xia Jingsheng felt chills all over his face.

Xia Jingsheng pushed Fan Jin away and hurried away.

The door of the darkroom was guarded by Miao Min, Xia Jingsheng frowned and said, "I want to go in."

The gatekeeper stopped him and said, "No visits are allowed without Aunt Miao's order."

"Get out of the way." Xia Jingsheng's tone became colder.

"Long Chi, the guy inside committed a crime, so don't get involved." The gatekeeper persuaded.

Xia Jingsheng put his hand on his waist, and the whip in his palm seemed to sense the master's anger, ready to move.

Seeing this, the gatekeeper said warily, "Long Chi, what do you want to do?"

For some reason, Xia Jingsheng couldn't control his irritable emotions.

He looked at the mottled iron gate in front of him: "If you don't get out of the way, I will force my way in."

"Let him in." Aunt Miao's voice suddenly came from behind.

Xia Jingsheng turned his head and saw that Peng Tian was wearing a long skirt and his black hair was loosely tied behind his head.

"Let him in." Peng Tian ordered.

The shackles on the iron door fell, revealing a dark interior.

Xia Jingsheng entered the door, a musty smell made him frown uncontrollably.

The room was too dark, so Xia Jingsheng took out a torch and lit it, and saw Sun Wenxi sitting on the only stool, looking at him for a moment.

"Are you okay?" Xia Jingsheng stepped forward quickly, took Sun Wenxi's hand and looked through it.

After confirming that he was not injured, he was relieved.

Compared to Xia Jingsheng's nervousness, Sun Wenxi was very calm.

There was even a slight smile on his lips, and he said leisurely: "Why are you here?"

"You...what's going on?!" When Xia Jingsheng came, he had thought up all kinds of excuses.

But facing Sun Wenxi's gentle eyes, he couldn't say a word.

"Jing Sheng, do you believe me?" Sun Wenxi answered irrelevantly.

"Of course I believe you." Xia Jingsheng replied, "I know, you will definitely not do such absurd things."

Sun Wenxi suddenly suppressed his smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I really did it?" There was still a bit of seriousness in his tone.

Xia Jingsheng looked at him with a frown, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Then just pretend I'm blind."

Sun Wenxi was overjoyed, he chuckled softly: "I won't let you become blind."

Xia Jingsheng just breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered Sun Wenxi's look at his jokes, and said angrily: "It's not honest when it's all like this."

Sun Wenxi raised his arms to hug him, and said in a warm voice: "I see you are frowning all the time, trying to make you happy."

Xia Jingsheng gradually relaxed his body and leaned into Sun Wenxi's arms: "Right now, what are you going to do?"

Thinking of Fan Jin's bitter words, goosebumps crawled up Xia Jingsheng's back.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, of course I don't recognize things I haven't done." Sun Wenxi said.

Sun Wenxi denied it, but all the evidence found in the past few days all point to Sun Wenxi.

For example, many women's silk handkerchiefs were found in Sun Wenxi's house. When I asked the girls in the village, they all said that the silk handkerchiefs were lost at some point.

Now it seems that Sun Wenxi stole it and hid it.

Another example is that in Sun Wenxi's room, a topographic map of the rockery area was found, which can almost characterize the incident as a premeditated crime.

Xia Jingsheng heard Fan Jin's nonsense in the hall, and couldn't help scolding: "It's a bunch of nonsense."

Everyone present still remembered Xia Jingsheng's obedience to Fan Jin's words in the past, and they all looked sideways with surprise on their faces.

Fan Jin sneered and said: "Xiao Chi, you are angry with me, why bother to speak for a rotten person like Sun Wenxi." He put on an upright gentleman, almost making Xia Jingsheng's teeth ache.

Xia Jingsheng ignored Fan Jin, and only looked at the pale Pan Yan: "Let me ask you, do you often go for a walk in the rockery?"

Pan Yan didn't dare to look directly at Xia Jingsheng's menacing eyes, subconsciously shook her head and said, "No."

Xia Jingsheng pointed at the topographic map and raised his voice to ask: "Since you don't go often, what's the use of Sun Wenxi studying topographic maps?"

Peng Tian looked at the topographic map, nodded and said, "That makes sense."

No matter how familiar the terrain around the rockery is, if Panyan doesn't appear, Sun Wenxi naturally has no chance to attack.

Xia Jingsheng asked Pan Yan if she often went for a walk near the rockery.

Pan Yan denies this.

That being the case, why did Sun Wenxi check the topographic map in advance, isn't he afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?

The logic here doesn't make sense.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. Xia Jingsheng understands this truth, and Peng Tian also understands it.

But Fan Jin was relentless: "No matter how Sun Wenxi knew that Pan Yan was near the rockery, he has committed an unforgivable crime. According to the law, he should be punished by burning."

Peng Tian was stunned, and stopped him: "The punishment of burning by fire is unavoidably too severe, it's the first offender, so let's give him a lighter sentence."

Fan Jin said sternly, "Aunt Miao's actions really chilled the hearts of the Miao girls."

Peng Tian was aroused by his eccentric tone: "What's your attitude?!"

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "I just think Master's sentencing is unfair."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Aunt Miao's face turned ashen.

She suddenly shouted in a cold voice: "Where is Sun Wenxi?"

Two Miao people escorted Sun Wenxi to the front of the hall.

Sun Wenxi had already changed into clean clothes, her face looked a little pale, but her spirits were not bad.

"Sun Wenxi." Peng Tian said in a heavy tone, "I'll ask you again, do you have evidence to prove your innocence?"

Sun Wenxi closed his eyes to rest his mind, and shook his head.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for not protecting you." Peng Tian ordered, "Take it down, and choose another day to burn at the stake."

Xia Jingsheng's eyes darkened, and he blatantly blocked Peng Tian's way: "Please Miaogu think twice."

Peng Tian stared at Xia Jingsheng's profile for a long time, then sighed, "He can't prove his innocence, and I can't do anything about it."

As the name suggests, fire torture is execution with fire. In plain English, it means burning people alive.

Miao Min believed that this method of execution could wash away the sins of criminals.

In private, Xia Jingsheng approached Aunt Miao many times, repeatedly emphasizing that it was impossible for Sun Wenxi to do such a thing.

Seeing the anxious expression on his face, Aunt Miao said coldly, "You have no evidence."

Fan Jin has witnesses and physical evidence, but Xia Jingsheng has nothing.

Just relying on bare hands cannot prove Sun Wenxi's innocence.

Seeing Xia Jingsheng's distraught look, Aunt Miao couldn't help reminding him, "Don't forget your identity."

Xia Jingsheng was Aunt Miao's nominal apprentice, so he should protect the interests of the clan, but at this moment Xia Jingsheng was desperately arguing for Sun Wenxi.

The constant turning of his elbows has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the clan, secretly saying that Xia Jingsheng is a white-eyed wolf.

Unknowingly, Xia Jingsheng stood on the opposite side of the village, and for the first time since he woke up, his position changed.

Seeing that Aunt Miao refused to let go, Xia Jingsheng did not stay long.

Aunt Miao watched his leaving back, slowly shook her head and said, "They're all infatuated, for a man, as for it."

At the same time, an unexpected guest came to the darkroom.

Fan Jin walked up to Sun Wenxi with a food box in his hand.

The food box is full of big fish and big meat, which is fragrant.

Sun Wenxi had been eating prison meals for many days, but now he smelled the aroma, and raised his eyelids to take a look.

Seeing that it was Fan Jin, he closed his eyes again.

"What's the matter, I'm not welcome?" Fan Jin took out the food, "It's in vain that I kindly gave you food."

"Look at you losing weight, you can't eat good things these days, hurry up and eat." Fan Jin handed the chopsticks to Sun Wenxi.

Sun Wenxi refused to answer.

Fan Jin asked happily, "What? Don't you want to eat?"

Sun Wenxi looked at him with eyes like a fool: "I have no strength, feed me."

"What?!" Fan Jin stood up all of a sudden, looking at Sun Wenxi in amazement.

"Aren't you kind enough to deliver food? Just be a good person and feed me." Sun Wenxi's lips twitched slightly.
