Chapter 12 Bribing Sister Feng's Disaster

It is said that Aunt Xue heard the boy's report and asked the boy to go by herself. Immediately, she went to Jia's mansion to explain the reason to Sister Feng, and begged Sister Feng to save him anyway.Seeing that Sister Feng said that she had to ask someone to intercede with the county magistrate, Aunt Xue was afraid that it would still be useless, so she begged Sister Feng to talk to Jia Lian, and it took thousands of silver to buy the county magistrate.Xue Biao also figured it out.

At noon the next day, the county magistrate put up a sign and sat in the hall. It was reported that a group of neighbors promised to see the dead relatives, etc., and Xue Pan was proposed in the prison.The scribes in the punishment room all roll their names one by one.The county magistrate asked Dibao to confess to the early Ming Dynasty, and asked the dead relative Zhang Wang and the dead uncle Zhang Er to interrogate.

Zhang Wang cried and said: "The man of the village woman is Zhang Da, who lived in Nanxiang. He died 18 years ago. The eldest son and the second son also died. The only dead son is Zhang San. He is 23 years old this year. I haven't married a woman yet. Because my family is poor and I don't have anything to support, I work as a trough in the Li's shop. At noon that day, the Li's shop sent someone to call me, saying that your son was beaten to death. Master Qingtian, the little one was scared to death. When I ran there, I saw my son lying on the ground gasping for blood, and he couldn’t speak when I asked him, and he died in a short while.”

The villain is going to grab this little bastard desperately.All the yamen servants yelled.Mrs. Zhang Wang kowtowed and said, "I beg Master Qingtian to avenge me. The villain only has this one son." The county magistrate then called down, and the person in Li's shop asked, "Is that Zhang San a servant in your shop?"

Then Li Er replied: "It's not a servant, it's a trough." The county magistrate said: "In the corpse yard that day, you said that Xue Pan smashed the bowl to death for Zhang San. Did you see it with your own eyes?" Li Er said : "The little one was on the cabinet, and I heard that there was wine in the guest room. After a while, I heard that it was bad, I was injured. The little one ran in and saw Zhang San lying on the ground, unable to speak. The little one He called to report to the Dibao, and reported to his mother. I really don't know how they beat them, so I beg you to ask the drinker." The county magistrate shouted, "You have seen the confession in the first trial. Why do you say it now? Didn't you see?" Li Erdao: "The little one was bluffing and talking nonsense the day before yesterday." The yamen servant yelled again.The county magistrate called Wu Liang and asked, "Are you drinking together? How did Xue Pan hit him? Let me tell you the truth." Wu Liang said, "The younger one was at home that day, and this uncle Xue asked me to drink. He hates drinking. It’s not good to change it, but Zhang San refused. Uncle Xue was angry and poured wine on his face, and somehow it hit his head. I saw it with my own eyes.”

The county magistrate said: "Nonsense. On the corpse field the day before yesterday, Xue Pan himself admitted that he was smashed to death with a bowl. You said you saw it with your own eyes. Why is the confession wrong today? Clap your mouth." The yamen servant promised to beat him, but Wu Liang begged, "Xue Pan is real He didn't fight with Zhang San, and the wine bowl accidentally hit his head. Please ask Xue Pan, it's a kindness."

The county magistrate called Ti Xuepan and asked, "What is the grudge between you and Zhang San? After all, how did you die? Please tell me the truth." Xue Pan said, "I beg you to be merciful, the younger one did not beat him. Why don't you beat him?" He was willing to change the wine, so he poured the wine on him, not wanting to miss it for a while, and the wine bowl hit his head by mistake. The little one hurriedly covered his blood, but he knew that he couldn't cover it anymore, the blood flowed too much, and he died after a while Yes. The mortuary yard was afraid that the old man would beat him the other day, so he said he was beaten with a bowl. I just ask the old man to show mercy." The county magistrate then shouted: "What a fool! The county asked you how you hit him, and you confessed I was annoyed that he didn't change the wine so I smashed it, and today I confessed that I accidentally touched it." The county magistrate pretended to be aggressive and wanted to beat or pinch, but Xue Pan insisted.The magistrate asked Wu Zuo to report the wounds filled in the corpse field the day before yesterday according to the facts.Wu made a report and said: "The inspection of Zhang San's body was uninjured the day before yesterday, but there was a porcelain wound on the door of the hall, which was one inch and seven minutes long and five minutes deep. If the style is consistent, if you know that the scribes have changed the lightness, you will not refute it, and you will call it a painting confession indiscriminately.Zhang Wang cried out, "Master Qingtian! I heard how many injuries were left the day before yesterday, why are they all gone today?"

The magistrate said: "This woman is talking nonsense. Don't you know that there is a corpse?" Zhang Er, the uncle of the corpse, asked, "Your nephew died. How many injuries do you know?" Zhang Er hurriedly confessed: "A wound on the head." The county magistrate said, "But it's coming again."

Ask the scribe to show the corpse to Mrs. Zhang Wang, and ask the uncle who protects the corpse to point it out to him. There is no fight, not a fight.Only draw a confession according to the order of accidental injury.Xue Pan was imprisoned and waited for details. Yu ordered Yuanbao to lead him out and leave the hall.Zhang Wang cried and yelled, and the county magistrate asked all the yamen servants to drive him out.Zhang Er also persuaded Zhang Wang: "It's really an accidental injury, so how can you rely on others. Now the master has made it clear, don't mess around." Xue Biao found out about it outside, and he liked it in his heart, so he sent someone home to deliver a letter.When the approval comes back in detail, we can make some atonement, and stay here to wait for the letter.I only heard rumors in twos and threes on the road that a noble concubine died, and the emperor stopped court for three days.This place is not far from the mausoleum, and the magistrate's office is on the way. It's not beneficial to live here. It's better to go to the prison and tell my brother to wait at ease, "I'll go home and come back in a few days. Xue Pan is also afraid of my mother's pain." The letter said: "My lord mother, Pan'er is fine and must be taken care of. It's just that the yamen has to pay a few more times before I can go home. Just don't waste money."

Aunt Xue was a little relieved when she heard that Xue Pan said in the letter that she was fine.But seeing that he was still in prison, I still felt depressed.Suddenly Baochai came in from the outside, holding a box in his hand.Passed it to Aunt Xue and said: "Mom, I know you are in a hurry to use the money now. I have the ornaments and money I saved in the past few years. Mom, can you use it temporarily?"

Aunt Xue touched Baochai's head and said, "That's not necessary. These things are all your treasures. How can you use them? It's not necessary now. There is also a pawn shop near here. Take some money." Come on, it's not hard to think about."

Seeing this, Baochai slowly took back the box.Seeing that Aunt Xue was still looking depressed, she asked, "What is mother worrying about? Didn't I ask Sister Feng for my brother's matter? She thought we are relatives, so she should help us."

Aunt Xue sighed: "Girl Feng said she wanted to help, but no matter what, she just treats us as outsiders, not the Wang family, so she doesn't care about it like this. Just give her some benefits, and she will help if she thinks about it."

He said to Baochai, "after a while, you can go to the pawnshop to get some silver. In the afternoon, I will go into the yard and beg Feng girl."

Xue Baochai said yes, and went out of the door and ordered someone to set up a sedan chair, all the way out of the corner door to his shop.

After a few days, it was handed by Sister Feng.Master Zhang sold a favor to Sister Feng, and Xue Biao left Li Xiang here to take care of him. He went home and met Aunt Xue, and told how Zhang Zhixian favored favoritism and judged it. Spend some money, and once you make atonement, you'll be fine.When Aunt Xue heard about it, she felt relieved and said, "I'm looking forward to your coming to take care of me at home. Jia's mansion should have thanked you for going, and besides, Concubine Zhou is gone. They go in every day, and the house is empty. I want to go to take care of my concubine." Take care of your companion, but there is no one in our house. You are here just in time."

Xue Biao said: "I heard that Concubine Jia died outside, so I rushed back. Our Concubine Yuan is doing well, why is she gone?" Aunt Xue said, "I was ill once last year, so it's fine. .This time I didn’t hear anything about Concubine Yuan’s illness. I only heard that the old lady in the mansion was not very helpful for the first few days.” When I closed my eyes, I saw Concubine Yuan.Everyone was worried until it sounded like nothing was wrong.On the eve of the night, the old lady said in person how did Concubine Yuan come to me alone?People only say that they are thinking in illness, but they don't believe it.The old lady said again: "You don't believe me, the imperial concubine Yuan told me in my dream that the glory and glory are easy to come to an end, and I need to retreat and get out sooner."
