Chapter 53 Family Reunion

At that time, a bag of candied fruit in Feng Dayong's hand fell to the ground. He stumbled into the house and took Miao Qinqin down from the white silk.

Holding his wife's cold body, Feng Dayong refused to believe it and used his hand to check Miao Qinqin's breath.

Miao Qinqin had already died, so naturally no breath could be detected at this moment. Feng Dayong was so shocked and panicked that his body crashed into the table beside him.

A letter fell from the table, and Feng Dayong fell to the ground. The letter fell right in front of him.

Feng Dayong saw a familiar handwriting on the paper. It was the handwriting of his wife Miao Qinqin.

Girls from ordinary families rarely know how to read, but when they were young, a student who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination rented a house in Chunshui Hutong. After renting a good house, the man had little money left, and could only go to the tofu stall to buy some tofu dregs to eat every day.

Miao Qinqin's parents were kind people. They would give the student a few whole pieces of tofu or other food every now and then. The student remembered their kindness and taught Miao Qinqin to read.

Because of this, Miao Qinqin became the only girl in Chunshui Hutong who could read and write.

Although Miao Qinqin knew how to read and write, the words she wrote were only recognizable and not very neat. After all, her family was poor and could not afford to buy too much paper and ink for her to practice calligraphy.

After Feng Dayong read the suicide note written by his wife, he finally understood why his wife hanged herself for no reason!

It turned out that the bastard Guo Yongshun secretly followed Miao Qinqin and forced her. Not only that, when Miao Qinqin cried and begged him to tell her that she was pregnant and to let her go, he kicked Miao Qinqin in the stomach.

When Miao Qinqin saw that he was about to kick her, she put her hands in front of her stomach to protect it, but was still kicked and fell to the ground.

Miao Qinqin didn't care if he hit her, as long as she could protect her child, but Guo Yongshun didn't come to her just to beat her up to vent his anger.

When Guo Yongshun bullied her, Miao Qinqin resisted, but Guo Yongshun threatened her that if she didn't want his child to die, she should obey him.

For the sake of her two-month-old child, Miao Qinqin let Guo Yongshun do whatever he wanted to her like a dead body. Guo Yongshun found it boring, so he spit on Miao Qin's face, pulled up his pants and left.

Miao Qinqin tidied herself up like a puppet, picked up the basket beside her, walked over the broken wine jar and went home.

She was sitting on a chair at home, not knowing how to tell her husband that she was being bullied. At this moment, she suddenly felt a heat in her lower body, followed by a stomach cramp.

Miao Qinqin watched as more and more blood flowed out from between her legs. She wanted to go out and find a doctor, but her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't move.

She wanted to call for help, but their yard was a little far away from the people around, and it was broad daylight, most people were out working, and there was no one around.

Miao Qinqin knelt on the ground in agony, watching more and more blood flow from between her legs. The pain of watching her child leave was no less than having her heart cut out alive.

The same is true for Feng Dayong, a father and husband. He didn't even know he was going to be a father soon, but his wife hanged herself first. Only after his wife died did he realize that he could have had both a wife and children instead of being alone like now.

After listening to what Feng Dayong said about Miao Qinqin, the yamen runners who came with Shen Shixu couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. They now sympathized with Feng Dayong very much.

If their own wives and children were bullied like this, they would not just cut them with a knife, they would just cut the person into pieces.

Jiang Bin and Zhang Ming couldn't help crying, especially Zhang Ming, who had strong empathy. He was about to faint from crying. Even Xiao Jinyi, who had been on the battlefield for many years and had seen life and death, had his fists clenched.

Shen Shixu's originally gentle smiling face turned into a gloomy cloud. He felt very sympathetic towards what happened to Feng Dayong and his wife, as well as the poor child.

But some things still have to be done according to regulations. Fortunately, although the laws of Dagan are harsh, there is leniency outside the law.

In cases of revenge murder, the severity of the sentence to be given to the murderer will be determined based on what the deceased had done before. If the murderer seeks the victim's life in revenge for a trivial matter, he will naturally be sentenced to death.

But in cases like this where a family is destroyed and revenge is sought, the victim’s life will never be taken. He will just have to go to jail, and if there is an amnesty, he can be released early.

"According to the Daigan Law, someone like you will be imprisoned for five years..."

Before Shen Shixu finished speaking, he saw black blood flowing from the corner of Feng Dayong's mouth. Feng Dayong fell off the stool, forced a relaxed smile, and black blood spit out from his grinning mouth in large mouthfuls.

"No need, I knew this day would come. I had already taken arsenic when I heard you shouting, and now the poison has taken effect.

Lord Shen, you are a good man. I followed Guo Yongshun before and saw you beat him up in order to save a woman.

Can I ask you for one thing, to bury me with my wife and children after I die? There is no way for us to be reunited as a family in the human world, but if we are buried together, maybe we can be reunited in the underworld.

I buried my wife in…”

After Feng Dayong told where he buried his wife, he died.

Shen Shixu admired this man who calmly went to his death after avenging his wife and children, and felt sorry for his relationship with Miao Qinqin. What a good couple they were. They were about to have a family of three, but they were ruined when they were happiest.

Shen Shixu ordered someone to tidy up Feng Dayong's remains and prepare a coffin for him. Then he sent it to the place Feng Dayong mentioned, buried him and his wife together, and erected a tombstone.

This is the tomb of Feng Dayong and his wife Miao Qinqin. There is also a small tomb next to it with the words "Tomb of Beloved Son" written on it. The names of Feng Dayong and Miao Qinqin are in the lower left corner. So the three of them should be reunited there!

As for Guo Yongshun's body, most bodies like this without family members would be sent to the charity cemetery and properly placed, but this man was so evil that his subordinates secretly threw Guo Yongshun's body into a mass grave.

Shen Shixu knew about this matter, but he did not punish those people.

After knowing what Guo Yongshun had done, he turned a blind eye to the matter. A person who had done so many evil things should not be thrown into a mass grave, and even if he was chopped up and fed to dogs, they would probably not even want to eat him.

Shen Shixu solved a case and planned to go out for a stroll. Now that the weather was getting warmer, it was time for him to buy some clothes.

So I went to the clothing store, hoping to buy some replacement clothes, but ended up getting sucked.
