Lin Feng asked, "Do you know what was lost in the victim's home?"
The old man nodded and said, "It's grain. That family lost several bags of grain, and when we searched your father-in-law's house, we found damaged bags. We can say we caught him red-handed."
Lin Feng expressed his disbelief. He knew his father-in-law very well. He had been an honest man all his life. Even if he starved to death, he would never do such a sneaky thing.
My father-in-law and his family were arrested, and even the house they lived in was sealed off.
In desperation, Lin Feng had to take out some food and asked the old man to help find a place for his family to stay.
"You can just stay at my house for a while!" The old man's eyes lit up when he saw the food. He didn't have much food at home now.
The old man's home was not far away. Although it was a bit shabby, it was better than having to sleep in the open air. When his wife Yang Jingyi learned that her family had been taken away, she was very emotional.
"Don't worry, I will go to the government to redeem them right away. When it gets dark, I promise to bring back your parents and your brother's family. Don't get too excited." Lin Feng advised.
"Yes! You must bring them all back safely." Yang Jingyi pleaded.
"Don't worry! Your husband is very capable, Dad and Mom! Master, you guys take a good rest here, I'll be back soon!" Lin Feng instructed.
"Don't you want me to go with you?" Zhang Sanfeng was a little worried.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, my disciple is no ordinary person now!"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded. He thought that he was worrying too much about this kid having a stone pagoda.
Without further ado, Lin Feng rode on an ox cart and headed towards the government office.
Arriving at a deserted place, Lin Feng put more than a dozen bags of grain on the ox cart. "Didn't you say the grain was stolen? Then I'll compensate you with the grain. If you still don't agree, then we'll have a head-on confrontation. The tiger scorpion royal baby hasn't been out and about for a long time."
Lin Feng has prepared two plans. If the soft approach doesn't work, he will use the hard approach. You can take as much food as you want, but you cannot persecute your father-in-law's family.
The old man had already pointed out the way, and Xiao Hei paddled very fast, and in the afternoon he had arrived at a city, which was where the government office was located.
Entering the city to pay taxes was the order just issued by King Qi, in order to collect as much supplies as possible to prepare for the upcoming war.
Lin Feng did not pay, but left a few kilograms of food. The soldiers guarding the city were of course happy. Now that food is in short supply, money and goods are not important.
This city is called Minglan City, and it is the capital of Minglan County. The streets in the city are neat and clean, with many pedestrians on the road. There are also shops on both sides of the road, selling a wide variety of goods.
Lin Feng had no time to appreciate the prosperous scene. He went straight to the government office.
After asking along the way and crossing several streets, we finally arrived at our destination.
"What are you doing! Horses and cars are not allowed to stop here. Get out of here quickly!" The bailiff at the gate of the government office shouted when he saw an ox cart stopped.
Lin Feng smiled and took out some money. "Sir, I'm here to redeem someone. I hope you can help inform them."
No one doesn't love a purse. The yamen runner looked at the heavy coins in his hand and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Randomize someone? Who are you ransoming? Where is he from? What crime did he commit?" The bailiff did not rush to report it. He always wanted to find out the whole story first.
"I redeemed my father-in-law's family. They lived in Liangma Village. As for what crime they committed, I'm not sure. I just arrived at noon today." Lin Feng did not tell him the truth. He did not want to waste time talking to him. The longer his father-in-law's family stayed in prison, the more suffering they would suffer. As children, we should think more about the elderly.
"Well! You wait here, I'll go ask the chief officer of the torture chamber."
Holding the coins, the bailiff returned to the yamen.
Lin Feng was very confused, in fact he had no idea what to do.
Taking out a gourd of spiritual spring water, Lin Feng first gave Xiao Hei a few big gulps.
"Moo!" When Xiao Hei smelled the scent of the spiritual spring water, his eyes lit up and he began to drink it up.
"Drink slowly." Lin Feng touched its head lovingly. Xiao Hei's body was getting stronger and stronger, and its fur was reflecting glaringly in the sun.
After a while, the bailiff came out.
"Tie up the cow and go inside! I've asked around for you. A family has been arrested in Liangma Village for theft. I think you just need to hand over some food."
Lin Feng thanked him quickly, then tied up Xiao Hei and followed the yamen runners to the torture chamber.
The torture chamber was responsible for all local prison matters. After Yang Linfeng was brought in, he met a burly official who was two heads taller than Linfeng.
As soon as Lin Feng entered the room, he clasped his fists and bowed, showing great respect.
"Who are you to Yang Li in Liangma Village?" the official asked first, holding a roster in his hand.
"Xiaomin is Yang Li's son-in-law." Lin Feng answered truthfully.
"Well! They haven't been charged with the theft yet, but judging by the evidence seized at the scene, they can't escape responsibility. It wasn't a big deal, but your father-in-law and his family are being stubborn and refusing to admit guilt."
Lin Feng didn't understand what he meant by these words.
"Sir, my father-in-law's family is honest and decent. Maybe there are some other misunderstandings in this matter." Lin Feng would definitely not make up stories about his father-in-law's family.
"Hmph! Just because you say he's not guilty, he's not guilty? Then how do you explain the grain bags found in his house?" The official couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Lin Feng dared to go against his wishes.
"In that case, please give me some rules. I will redeem my son even if it means losing everything I have!" Lin Feng said politely.
"That's right! How about this! You pay 1,500 kilograms of fine grain and 150 copper coins, and you can take the person away. You're lucky, King Qi ordered all counties to raise food and supplies, and these minor thefts can be handled by paying fines and fines."
The official acted as if he was doing Lin Feng a great favor, but it made Lin Feng feel sick. This was the only way he could pay so much grain and fines. If it were an ordinary family, they really wouldn't be able to do it.
"I have brought the food. It is at the gate of the government office. The money is here." As he said this, Lin Feng counted out three hundred copper coins and handed them to the official.
"Why are there twice as many here?" the official asked.
"This is impossible. I have counted it several times. You must have seen it wrong!" Lin Feng said with a smile. The extra money was a bribe for him.
The official smiled slightly and said, "Well, that means I counted wrongly."
The next step was the grain delivery. Lin Feng gave him an extra 300 kilograms. The officials saw that this man was very reasonable, so they did not make things difficult for him.
Finally, Lin Feng met his father-in-law and his family, but when they met, Lin Feng became furious and he wanted to kill everyone there.
