Feng Zheng suddenly became furious, and his tone became even more arrogant: "The Feng Mansion is a private residence. Why should we let you in? Do you really think you are a dish?"
Su Chenyu asked, "Is Young Master Feng always like this? Don't you want to prove your innocence? As long as we go into the mansion and investigate with everyone's witnesses, we can give Young Master Feng justice, right? Young Master Feng is obstructing us like this, is he hiding something?"
Feng Zheng was speechless and signaled to his father with his eyes to let him speak.
Prefect Feng is now extremely angry with his son. Now that things have come to this point and so many people are watching, he has no way of ordering anyone to go back and make preparations in advance. He can only prepare for the worst.
“Bang!”
Magistrate Feng slammed the gavel and said, "Feng Zheng, things have come to this. As your father, if I had protected you, I would have been harming you. Now the evidence is here! Why don't you confess? You should be thankful no one was killed."
Feng Zheng looked at his father in disbelief, completely stunned.
Prefect Feng suppressed the urge to slap the boy twice and gave him a wink.
Feng Zheng was not too stupid. He immediately understood what his father meant and began his performance.
He fell to his knees with a thud, covering his face with his hands and crying bitterly, "It's all my fault. I was attracted by Miss Pink Peach's beauty and wanted to pursue her, but she ignored me. I was so eager to get her that I was so anxious that I committed such a foolish act. I admit my guilt and ask for your punishment, father."
After saying these words, he used his sleeve to wipe away the non-existent tears on his face. He really wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry.
Su Chenyu laughed. He almost gave a thumbs up to the performance of this father and son.
The people watching outside the door were also stunned. Feng Zheng, who had just strongly denied that this matter had nothing to do with him, suddenly admitted it. However, after thinking about the situation carefully, they understood.
Su Chenyu said, "Since Young Master Feng has admitted it, then it's easy to deal with. According to the laws of our Dragon Soul Nation, if any of the descendants of officials bully the people or forcibly abduct women, their crimes will be aggravated and they will be punished with fifty lashes of the cane and then imprisoned for five years. Prefect Feng, make the judgment!"
When Feng Zheng heard this, he panicked at first, but then he didn't take it seriously. Even if he hit the man fifty times, the people who did it were his own people. He was just doing it for show and would not kill him. As for going to jail, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Prefect Feng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He said with a forced smile, "Isn't fifty lashes too much?"
Su Chenyu said, "This is the law set by our Dragon Soul Nation's founding ancestor. Does Governor Feng have any doubts about it?"
Prefect Feng's face flushed with anger, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of so many people. So he took a deep breath and said, "Sir, I think you've misunderstood. How dare I disobey the founding ancestor? Putting aside my position as prefect, I simply couldn't bear to see my son suffer this."
Su Chenyu snorted coldly and said, "Your son bullies other people's daughters, and other people are suffering as well. Your child is just a child, but are other people's children just grass?"
"You! You are so arrogant! I have already made concessions repeatedly. What else do you want?"
Su Chenyu said, "I don't want to do anything. Well, there are so many people watching! Sir, you should just execute the sentence quickly!"
Magistrate Feng suppressed his distress and said, "Come here, drag Feng Zheng out, give him fifty lashes, and take him to jail."
"Yes!" Two of the officers pretended to hold Feng Zheng's arms and walked out.
Feng Zheng, however, was not afraid at all. He stared at Su Chenyu fiercely and whispered to her as he passed by her, "Just wait for me."
Feng Zheng was lying on the bench, and the two officers were about to execute him...
“Wait!”
"What else do you want?" The anger in Magistrate Feng had already reached his head.
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "Sir, please don't get angry! I was thinking that the person who carried out the execution was an official from your government office, and the one who was beaten was your son. It's inevitable that people will suspect that it was just a show for everyone to see."
Feng Zhifu's face changed and he said, "What do you mean by that?"
Su Chenyu said, "How about this? We find two people from the onlookers to carry out the execution. That way, no one will be suspicious, and the people of Xuanyang City will praise you as a fair and strict official."
Prefect Feng immediately objected, "No! There's never been a precedent like this before. Law enforcement is the job of the government. Why should we let an outsider do it? It doesn't make sense!"
Feng Zheng, who was lying on the bench, also changed his expression and kept winking at his father.
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "There was no precedent like this before because no official's son had ever done such a thing and been exposed. But Young Master Feng has broken that precedent. This situation is different, so we must treat it differently. This is just to shut others up."
Prefect Feng was so angry that smoke almost came out of his nostrils. If there weren't so many onlookers watching, he would have wanted to go down and strangle Su Chenyu to death.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Su Chenyu said, "How about this? I won't participate in the selection of law enforcement officers. How about that?"
Prefect Feng breathed a sigh of relief. This was the only way for now. He thought it would be better if it ended sooner rather than later. If it dragged on any longer, he would be so angry that he would explode.
Prefect Feng stood up and walked to the door. Many people lowered their heads. Most of them were local people from Xuanyang City. They didn't dare to take action against Prefect Feng's son for fear of retaliation. Some even took several steps back.
