Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "That's fine, but we have to leave one person to look after the store, you can discuss it yourself!"

Zhao Junsheng carefully prepared some food and wine and packed them in food boxes. After thinking about it, he took some bamboo slips and wrapped them up. When he returned to the front shop, Feng San and others were waiting for him.

A group of people followed Zhao Junsheng to the prison very quickly. Zhao Ting was walking around in front of the prison with a waist knife in his hand. He saw Zhao Junsheng coming with a few people and asked, "Junsheng, what are these?"

"They are all from Huajiabao, and they want to go in with me to see Hua Mulan and the people of Huajiabao, please be considerate!" Zhao Junsheng said, cupping his hands.

Zhao Ting frowned and said: "There are too many people, only one person can go in with you, and the others wait outside. Brother, this is the rule, I can't help it!"

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to agree, and said to everyone: "Feng San follows me in, the others are waiting outside!"

Two

The man followed Zhao Ting out of the prison, and came to the cell where Hua Mulan was held through the dark and damp corridor. Zhao Junsheng found that Hua Mulan was writing at his desk with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. It seemed that Zhao Ting returned Zhao Junsheng's request Very caring.

Zhao Junsheng cupped his hands to Zhao Ting and said: "Brother, please take your troubles, thank you, I will remember it in my heart!"

"Don't say these words, go in! I'll wait for you outside!" Zhao Ting waved his hand to let the jailer open the door of the cell, and left after speaking, and the jailer retreated tactfully.

"Miss, you have suffered!" Feng San waited until there was no one around, and immediately rushed in and shouted.

Hua Mulan turned her head to look, a smile appeared on her face, she put down her brush and stood up to meet her: "Brother Feng is here too? Bitterness is not bitterness, here is not bad!"

No matter how Zhao Junsheng heard this, he felt uncomfortable.

Hua Mulan talked with Feng San and learned about the situation in Huajiabao. Feng San concealed the news of Huahu's stroke and told Hua Mulan, only saying that everyone in Huajiabao was trying to rescue her.

"Grandpa and Miss, let's talk, I'll go out and see the other brothers!" Feng San said, leaving time for Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan.

Zhao Junsheng took out the food and wine from the food box and put them on the table one by one, saying: "I brought you some food and wine, let me have a drink with you today!"

Hua Mulan was so sensitive, she guessed from Zhao Junsheng brought her such a sumptuous food and drink that things might have gotten worse, so she asked, "Brother Junsheng, tell me the truth, is there something wrong?" misfortune?"

Zhao Junsheng was silent for a while, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to guess Mulan. Just now after you were escorted back to the prison, Miss Wan suddenly broke into the lobby to intercede with General Wan for you. General Wan ordered tomorrow noon... ···”

Hua Mulan understood, and her expression changed, but she quickly adjusted, pretending to be nonchalant, smiled and said: "Actually, I have already guessed that this might be the result, and now I know, in fact... It's nothing to be afraid of, as long as Huajiapu, Grandpa, Aniang, and the younger brother are not implicated! Brother Junsheng, I only have one thing to ask you. If possible, please find a way to help me get these things together. The brothers from Huajiabao who were captured are taken out, they are innocent, and I can't let them be implicated by me!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately shouted: "Mulan, what nonsense are you talking about, you will be fine, I will try my best to rescue you all! By the way, I also brought you a few volumes, if you feel bored, just read it! "

After Zhao Junsheng left, Hua Mulan looked at the several scrolls of bamboo slips he sent, picked up one of the scrolls and opened it, only to see "Sun Bin's Art of War" written at the beginning.

"It turned out to be a soldier?" Hua Mulan's eyes lit up when she saw the name. Although Grandpa Huahu taught her martial arts since she was a child, and she also likes to dance with knives and guns, she has never been a soldier before. Her strong thirst for knowledge.

Zhao Junsheng stayed in the prison with Hua Mulan for more than an hour, and it was already noon when he and Feng San came out of the prison.

When returning to the garment shop from the prison, Zhao Junsheng saw a burnt shop on the side of the street. He stopped and looked, "Hey, isn't this the burnt Hengtong Cloth Shop of Yao Desheng?"

Feng San snorted coldly: "Yao Desheng, you damned, won't stop even after he dies, and even made our young lady like this!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the shop that had been burned into ruins, with a strange gleam in his eyes, and he immediately said: "Come on, follow me to a place, can you rescue Mulan and the Huajiabao brothers?" Let's see if this trip is a success!"

Feng San and the others were in high spirits when they heard the words, and they followed Zhao Junsheng to the gate of a house——Yao Mansion.

As the saying goes, "Walls fall and people push them, trees fall and monkeys scatter", it is referring to the current situation in Yao Mansion.

When Yao Desheng and his brother-in-law Liu Xiancheng were still alive, what a grand and beautiful Yao Mansion was. After the two died, they left a group of orphans and widows. Come on, in just a few days, the once luxurious Yao Mansion is now left with only a ruined and empty house, everything that can be moved inside has been removed, and there is not even a gatekeeper.

.

Feng San asked: "Uncle, what are we doing here?"

"Follow me in and you'll know!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Junsheng, Feng San and his party brought Yao Desheng's widow, Yao Xia, to the gate of the yamen. He walked to the Dengwen drum in front of the yamen, picked up the drumsticks and beat the drum with his arms: "Boom, boom, Boom..."

"Beat the drums to appeal for grievances?" Feng San and the others turned pale with shock.

Chapter 33 The dead friend is not dead

During the Yao and Shun period, there was the predecessor of Dengwen Drum - the Drum of Dare to Admonish!In the Han Dynasty, there was a formal Dengwen drum, and all levels of government had Dengwen drums for the common people to beat the drums to complain about their grievances.

But the Dengwen drum is not so easy to beat. As the last barrier of the ancient law, it needs to pay a certain price.Beating drums to appeal for grievances is actually not a normal legal procedure. In order to prevent some people from messing around, the officials adjudicating the case also warned some people not to abuse judicial resources casually, no matter whether they are justified or not, they should hit twenty killing sticks first after going to court.

Just after Zhao Junsheng finished beating, an official came out from the prefect's mansion and asked, "Who beat the drums to complain?"

Zhao Junsheng followed the principle that a dead fellow would not die a poor one, and immediately stepped back and pushed Feng San to the front: "My lord, his name is Feng San, and he beat the drum to complain!"

Feng San's expression changed, the muscles on his face twitched, he turned his head to look at Zhao Junsheng behind him with extreme aggrievedness, Zhao Junsheng winked at him.

The official took a deep look at Feng San, and shouted: "Plaintiff, come in, the general is about to go to the front hall, and he is going to be promoted to the court for trial. You have to be mentally prepared. If you are beaten with twenty killing sticks, your body will be weak." May call for life!"

Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Don't worry, the official, he is very strong!"

Feng San looked like a resentful woman and murmured in his heart: "Master, you don't feel back pain when you stand and talk, why don't you come and try this twenty-killing stick?"

A group of people followed the official into the prefect's mansion.

The huge commotion caused by the beating of drums just now alarmed the pedestrians and residents around the prefect's mansion. Many people ran over to watch the commotion, and soon surrounded the front hall of the prefect's mansion tightly.

Wan Dugui walked to the desk and sat down, slapped the gavel and shouted: "Who is under the hall, why are you beating the drums to complain!"

Feng San knelt down with a plop and said: "Cao Min Feng San is a servant of the Hua Family Fort, and now he beats the drums to avenge my son Hua Mulan and the 26 other members of the castle, and I ask the general to give my son justice!"

Wan Dugui yelled: "Come here, hit twenty kills first!"

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly came out, cupped his hands and bowed: "General, please be merciful! This Feng San is not Hua Mulan's close relative, but he can stand up for his master and fight for grievances. He will die, but he has no hesitation, please general read his loyalty and let him be punished lightly!"

The melon-eaters watching outside the door couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard this, praising Feng San's loyalty.

Since ancient times, loyalty has been highly praised by rulers.Wan Dugui was also quite sighed, and after weighing it up, he said: "Okay, Feng San, I think you, as a servant, can stand up for your master when he is in deep danger. Your loyalty is commendable. This general only beats you ten times." Killing power stick! Come on, hit ten killing power sticks!"

Several yamen servants rushed forward, pressed Feng San to the ground, and beat him. The ten-killing stick came down, until Feng San was beaten with cold sweat on his forehead, and his face turned blue.

After the beating, Wan Dugui shouted: "Feng San, Hua Mulan and the 26 servants of Huajiabao sold [-] horses to Tian Lang, a merchant of the Southern Dynasty, and violated the imperial court's ban. They should be executed. I have ordered that at noon tomorrow Send them to Caishikou for interrogation, unless you can produce new evidence, your killing might will be for nothing!"

Zhao Junsheng knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, and he cupped his hands and said, "General, my client has found a new witness who can prove that Hua Mulan and Huajiapu's group were all framed by others. Please also allow the new witness to testify in court!"

Wan Dugui didn't expect Zhao Junsheng and others to find a new witness so quickly, which made him very surprised. He couldn't think of who Zhao Junsheng could find to testify, so he said: "Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately gave Yao Xia a wink, and Yao Xia stepped forward and bowed down: "Master Yao Xia has seen the general!"

Wan Dugui asked suspiciously: "Yao Xia? Who are you? What qualifications do you have to testify?"

"My lord general, Minnv is the wife of Yao Desheng's widow! Minnv can prove that my husband's plan to frame Hua Mulan and the others in Huajiabao was figured out by my husband and Minnv together under the quilt, and then handed over to them separately. It was for Yao Si and Yao Ping to execute it! At that time, the women of the people knew that this matter was too vicious and harmful to Tianhe, so they tried their best to dissuade the late husband, but the late husband did not agree.

Listen, I didn't expect things to turn out like this.Although my late husband has been stabbed to death, the daughter of the people knows that my Yao family is ashamed of the Hua family, and I cannot allow the Hua family to be wronged. I want justice to be shown in this world, so I am here to tell the truth to the general, and I ask the general to return it. The Hua family is fair! "

As soon as Yao Xia's words came out, the melon-eating crowd outside the door couldn't believe it, "ah... so it was really the Yao family who did it, no wonder the Yao family has become what it is now, good things will be rewarded , Evil will be rewarded with evil, it’s not that there is no retribution, but that the time has not yet come!”
