Song Chi naturally couldn't say that this was a parting gift from Changfeng Hou Shen Chong. He said calmly, "As your advisor, Master Feng, I naturally have to make some preparations in advance."
Feng Yuan did not say anything. He knew that Song Chi had long wanted to be his advisor, so this was a two-way deal.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Feng Yuan asked again: "Who do you think should be attacked first?"
"Wang Bao!"
Song Chi spit out a name, "Wang Bao is the head of two squads and the third most important person in the county government. He used to be Dong Weimin's servant and the person Dong Weimin relies on the most. If Dong Weimin touches him, his legs will be broken!"
"The person I want to move is Wang Bao." Although Feng Yuan is a scholar, he also has a bandit spirit. He has been in the county government for only a few days and he knows how rampant Wang Bao is. Feng Yuan went to Ji County to deal with Song Shiwen, but more importantly, he wanted to serve as an official and benefit the people. He did not deliberately inquire about it, but he had heard of many things about Wang Bao bullying men and women.
Now that he had a legal advisor, he had someone to discuss matters with. Feng Yuan asked again, "In your opinion, where should we start if we want to take action against Wang Bao?"
Song Chi smiled faintly, "Do you know what the highest realm of fighting is?"
"Master, you dare to test a student like me." Feng Yuan stood up and prepared to refill his water. Song Chi quickly stopped him, saying that he couldn't drink anymore as he felt his bladder was about to explode. Moreover, he had already refilled the water several times but couldn't taste any tea.
"No more drinking, no more drinking."
"Well then." Feng Yuan looked at the teacup and felt a little sorry. He looked up and said, "I'm well-versed in military books, so I naturally know that the highest level of warfare is to defeat the enemy without fighting."
"That's right."
Song Chi smiled and said, "We need to let Dong Weimin remove his left and right arms himself."
“Where do I start?”
"Starting from the Sun family, I dare to conclude that there must be something strange about the death of Sun Lao San." It was also accidental to get this information. Having a woman like Su Niangzi at home, but dying on a woman's belly, this itself is problematic. Song Chi became suspicious at that time, and the reactions of both Sun Cheng and Dong Weimin in the trial confirmed this.
The Sun family and the Han family have a special relationship, and the Han family only follows Song Shiwen's lead.
It's hard to say there's no connection here; if you follow the clues you'll always find something.
Feng Yuan nodded after thinking for a moment. He also found something unusual during the trial. Something that could make Dong Weimin so nervous must be a big deal.
"You didn't come to Ji County to cause trouble for the Prime Minister. You came here for the local people. They can rule over you, but there is one right they cannot stop."
"You mean the trial?"
"Yes." Song Chi nodded and smiled faintly: "You are doing this for the people and for the Prime Minister. How can there be any injustice in the Prime Minister's hometown..."
He paused, "Some people call themselves gentlemen, but what they care about most is their reputation, and they won't tolerate even the slightest flaw. And those under them will do everything they can to protect their reputation."
Feng Yuan fell into deep thought again. After a while, he sighed and said, "If you hadn't been sitting in front of me, I really wouldn't have believed it. You are a young boy of only sixteen, but you look like an old fox who is well versed in the officialdom."
"Your Excellency is too kind." Song Chi thought to himself, he has lived two lives as a human being, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old fox.
"Tomorrow, the Lord can announce a retrial of Sun Lao San's murder. If it turns out as we expected, some people will be worried. The more they do, the more mistakes they will make..."
While the two were talking, Wang Bao also sent Sun Cheng to the county jail.
The trial ended and the defendant Sun Cheng pleaded guilty in court. The case was set in stone and could not be changed. At least for now, we could only obey the verdict.
"Boss Sun, how can you leave something for others to talk about?"
After entering the cell, Wang Bao spoke more casually. He was the head of the strong squad and was in charge of all the jailers in the county government office. He had the final say in this cell. The third in command of the county government office was not just a talk show, but he really had the power.
"That's fine, but why can't you even take care of your son?"
Wang Bao knew that the reason why this case could be handled as an ironclad case was mainly because of filial piety. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, filial piety has been the most important virtue of this dynasty. This case violated human ethics and filial piety, and even if the case was brought to the government office, the government office would not dare to cover it up. Whoever dared to overturn filial piety would be questioning the legitimacy of the emperor.
"I..." Sun Cheng looked at his son who had been frightened into dementia, and his heart was distressed and angry. He had never expected that his son would have such thoughts.
"It's all that Case Master Song's fault."
"Bah, what first-place case? He's nothing but an old bastard." Sun Cheng cursed. He came to his senses now. From the beginning to the end, Su Mingyue had never thought of really agreeing with him. She just let him fall into the trap step by step. He suspected that his son Sun Jiye was also seduced by that bitch.
As they talked, they walked to the cell, "Come in."
Wang Bao had a blank expression on his face. He was very dissatisfied with Sun Cheng. It didn't have to be like this. Even if someone lured and framed him, it was because he was restless.
"Am I really going to go to jail?"
Sun Cheng looked at the damp and dark cell and said hurriedly, "Go tell Master Dong to let me out immediately."
"The magistrate made the verdict in court, and you confessed everything. There were so many people witnessing it. Do you think the verdict is just a piece of blank paper?" Wang Bao thought that even if he could get Sun Cheng out, he had to make him suffer.
"Not only will you be imprisoned, but you will also be beaten with thirty sticks, and in half a month you will be exiled to Youzhou!"
Wang Bao deliberately said, "Youzhou has just suffered a disaster and is currently being rebuilt. You will have endless hard labor to do if you go there."
"good!"
Sun Cheng's expression changed drastically. He then took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "I can be beaten, I can be exiled, but I can't guarantee what I will do. The third brother died innocently."
"Shut up!"
Wang Bao glanced around and growled, "If you dare to say anything, you'll be dead."
"I'm going to die anyway." Wang Bao was a head taller than Sun Cheng, and his face was full of flesh and looked quite scary when he was angry. However, Sun Cheng was not afraid. He gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, I'll just throw it all away. The person who should be most afraid is you. Don't think I don't know how the third brother died!"
"Shut up!"
Wang Bao took a deep breath and said, "You only need to stay in the county jail for a few days. I will have someone take good care of you, and you will be spared the caning. You will be released in a few days."
"How many days?"
Sun Cheng said directly: "You must give me a deadline."
"How should I know that?" Wang Bao said, "Your case is quite complicated, and the magistrate doesn't..."
"I don't care!"
Sun Cheng interrupted directly, "You must give me a deadline of three days. If I still can't get out within three days, I will tell County Magistrate Feng how the third brother died. I think the county magistrate would be happy to hear it."
"You..." Wang Bao was extremely angry and was about to speak when Feng Yuan and Song Chi walked in.
