"Alright then, just you wait."
Liu's carpenter was an honest carpenter, when he heard that these rascals wanted to see his wife, he immediately stood up and went to the inner room to call for his wife. Not long later, Xiao Feng walked in. She was a girl from large family after all, so she gave them a very proper bow.
"Liu Family wife, do you know that your boss's Tycoon Lee is dead?"
"I've heard."
Xiao Feng said indifferently, there seemed to be a trace of sadness on his face. She didn't seem to want to talk about it. He turned her face away from them. Seeing Xiao Feng's expression, Wang Shi immediately understood that the rumors were not empty words, and anxiously instigated Xiao Feng.
"The two sons of the Tycoon Lee, Li Cheng and Li Guan, divided the property equally, with each person sharing more than five thousand mu. We have all heard that your son, Liu Shun, is also the biological son of the Tycoon Lee, yet he didn't receive a single bit of money.
is my son, how did he become the son of the Tycoon Lee? Aren't you deliberately humiliating me? "
Hearing that Wang Shi called Liu Shun the son of the Tycoon Lee, even the honest Liu's carpenter was not happy with it. No matter how honest and useless a man was, he would never admit that his son was not his, even more so, he did not want others to speak carelessly of him.
"Liu's carpenter, don't be so stubborn. Your wife gave birth to Liu Shun half a year after coming to your house, and you still dare to say that Liu Shun is your son? Tycoon Lee is dead, as long as you go and sue them, this lawsuit will win for sure. Even if it's just dividing the land into a few thousand acres, you won't need to worry about food and water for the rest of your life. It's better than being a carpenter who works in a village. "
After Wang Shi's act, the Liu's carpenter did not dare to make a sound again. It was just that when the Tycoon Lee was still alive, he had denied it in public. The Li family had said that Xiao Feng had secretly connected with the Li family's servants, and so he had kicked her out. If he were to bring it up again, wouldn't he be making a fool out of himself?
"Everyone, you must be joking. That is something that has never happened. Besides, we poor people don't have the money to go to court. Since ancient times, poor people do not fight with wealth, the people do not fight with the officials, the lawsuits are all paid for by the money, how can we compete with them? The later parts weren't brilliant, but they weren't beautiful. "Besides, for a craftsman like us, if we don't work every day, we won't get any food. Where would we get the manpower and the skills to go to court?"
"What are you afraid of? In any case, it was true that Liu Shun's mother was a servant girl of the Tycoon Lee, it was also true that he was pregnant and married. As long as Liu Shun's mother insisted, what method did they have to deny it? You don't have the manpower, so we'll help you out. Since we have friends in the yamen, how can we be afraid of losing you? It's just that, if it's difficult, we brothers will help you gather the money. If you don't go with the small money and if you don't come with the big money, we will help you collect three thousand silver taels as the capital for the lawsuit. You just need to write down a loan of three thousand silver and we will keep it. Once you possess the Li family property, you can return it to us. As for winning the lawsuit, you guys have come here for nothing, giving us brothers half of the points, and us brothers will fight for you in this lawsuit, what do you say? "
Although that Liu's carpenter was an honest man, he couldn't stand Wang Shi's constant instigation. Thinking about the Li Family's huge business, if he were to win the lawsuit, even if he got half of it, it would still be enough for him to live for a few more lifetimes. Even if he lost, only they would pay. Since he wouldn't be at a disadvantage, he nodded his head.
"Of course, if you help us. Where should we start?"
"You just need to write the IOU and from our height, I'll let you win?"
Liu's carpenter turned his head to look at Xiao Feng. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng agreed without saying a word and fiercely scolded him. He was the one who was most clear about who Liu Shun's son. She swore to tell Wang Shi and Liu Jin that Liu Shun was the son of the Tycoon Lee. Tian Kai was sitting in the lobby, looking at the ceiling in a bored manner. On the spider webs on top of the ceiling, there were two spiders fighting. Just as Spider was getting excited, a few guys who looked like scoundrels led a twelve or thirteen year old little boy into the main hall. They handed over a bill of complaint to the Ji County's wealthiest man, Li Cheng, and Li Guan, for taking over her family's property and bullying his little brother.
Tian Kai finally opened his eyes.
Seeing that someone had complained, Tian Kai was exceptionally excited. Finally, he had something to do. He hurriedly took the petition and started to read it seriously. It was even more detailed than an imperial edict. After that, he carefully inquired about the case, and immediately sent the yamen runners to carry the rich masters of Ji County, Li Cheng and Li Guan into the great hall to conduct a detailed investigation.
The case was very simple. The little boy called himself Liu Shun, the son of the Liu's carpenter in Ji County City. His mother, Xiao Feng, was a servant of Li Cheng, Li Guan's father, Elder Li's father, the rich man. He was sent out of the house by the Li family over ten years ago, and was married to Liu's carpenter without even asking for money. Coincidentally, Xiao Feng was already pregnant when he got married, and in less than half a year after he was married to the Liu's carpenter, he gave birth to Liu Shun.
After Xiao Feng was born, many of the neighbors said that Liu Shun was Elder Li's son, that Li Cheng and Li Guan's mother was jealous of Xiao Feng, and chased him out when he saw that he was pregnant, making him sound very good. Furthermore, there were even neighbors who had testified ten years ago.
Because Old Lord Li was still alive at that time, he had only spoken in secret for the past ten years. No one dared to speak to him face to face. After a long time, the news finally reached Tycoon Lee's ears, and Tycoon Lee scolded loudly in front of everyone. Not only did he deny that Liu Shun was his son, he even said that Xiao Feng had secretly made love with a servant, and that was why he was kicked out of the Li family.
However, regardless of how Tycoon Lee tried to identify himself, the rumors continued to be the same. Later on, the Li family was too lazy to care about it anymore and allowed him to spout nonsense. At any time, there would always be rumors about celebrities. Celebrities without rumors were not celebrities. As for whether the rumors were true or false, no one could say.
But now that Old Lord Li was dead, the trouble was left to his two sons.
They fought for a few days, and Xiao Feng insisted that Liu Shun was Elder Li's son. At this time, there was no DNA identification, and Li Cheng and Li Guan couldn't come up with any evidence to refute that. Even the servant they said they had a secret relationship with had died many years ago, and it looked like they were about to suffer a loss.
Just then, Wang Shi and Liu Jin found Li Cheng and Li Guan, bragging that they knew of people from the yamen. The Lord Taishang had already determined that Liu Shun was the son of Tycoon Lee, and the case of Li Cheng and Li Guan had become an iron case. But if they spent some money, they could at least give less to Li Shun.
Li Cheng and Li Guan were also in a panic, they did not know whether that Liu Shun was their brother or not. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the wise man would not take advantage of the situation. He had no choice but to listen to Wang Shi and Liu Jin's arrangements, giving gifts everywhere, giving pointers from top to bottom, and spending a lot of money.
Tian Kai, who had just taken up the post, wanted to do a beautiful case so that he could establish his reputation in Guangyang City. After a series of interrogations, he finally concluded that Liu Shun was the son of Tycoon Lee and sentenced the two brothers to split 30% of the's property and no longer investigate into the crime of Li Cheng and Li Guan taking over his family property and bullying his younger brother.
The more Li Cheng and Li Guan thought about it, the more unwilling they became. They themselves had given away a lot of money, but in the end, they still lost the lawsuit and had to give a large amount of land to Liu Shun. In just a day, they came to Yang Lei to complain.
Actually, Yang Lei had been watching this case coldly the whole time. His soldiers were watching every move of these rascals. However, Yang Lei was also unable to confirm whether or not Liu Shun was actually the son of Elder Li or not. At that moment, he did not know what to do.
Yang Lei was a local official for a period of time, but he slowly became righteous. He could not bear to see these thugs and scoundrels oppressing the good, and even found a chance to discipline them when they were free. Now that he had such a good excuse, how could he let it go so easily?
Just then, Lin Feng, who was in charge of escorting yellow cloth captive s, came to Guangyang. According to Yang Lin's instructions, they separated the Ying Chuan captives into three parts: Zhuang County, Guangyang, and the fishing yang. Each county had 40,000 people, after Yang Lei sent people to take the captives, he started discussing about Li Cheng and Li Guan and their complaints.
"Uncle, regardless of whether that Liu Shun is the son of Elder Li or not, it is true that Tian Kai's group of yamen runners accepted Li Cheng and Li Guan's bribes. Furthermore, all of the property that Liu Shun obtained was divided among those rascals, and not even half of it was obtained by Liu Shun. Li Cheng and Li Guan Ya will not bother about him for now, and using this chance, we can get rid of Tian Kai and his group of yamen runners, and not leave any evidence behind. "
Lin Feng's words caused Yang Lei to be moved. Ever since Tian Kai came, he felt like he had thorns in his eyes, making him uncomfortable. He finally found the chance to kill two birds with one stone, why wouldn't he do it? Presumably, Yang Lin would not blame them in the future.
"Lin Feng, Luo Yong, you two can rest for a few days before heading to Ying Chuan, which is perfect for helping me. Go and capture everyone involved and switch them on and off so that they don't collude with you. Then, interrogate them one by one, especially Liu Shun's mother, Xiao Feng. You have to think of a way to make her tell you the truth. Do you understand? "
Since the words had come to this point, what else could Lin Feng and Luo Yong not understand? As soon as he agreed, he led the soldiers to capture him. Under the lead of Yang Lei's bailiff, Lin Feng and Luo Yong walked along the road easily. Other than Tian Kai and his servants, they had caught up the plaintiff, the defendant, the bribe, the bribe, the errand boy, the loot, and all the other people, and practically killed Tian Kai's bailiff in one go.
Lin Feng and Luo Yong who came from a bandit background did not know any interrogation techniques, they only knew how to force confessions through torture. They took out the bribes list and the money that Li Cheng and Li Guan had provided, and checked them one by one.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. Let's try it out and see whether your bones or our whips are stronger."
The bandits under their command were all powerful experts, and ever since they followed Yang Lin, they were restrained so tightly that they didn't even have a chance to hit anyone. Now that he had received the order, he couldn't wait to beat those rascals to death. How could those rascals bear with death? If they didn't say so, they would die. They could only obediently beg for mercy and clearly explain the entire situation from the beginning to the end.
Once the matter of the bribes was settled, Lin Feng and Luo Yong began to decide whether Liu Shun was the son of Tycoon Lee. No matter what, he still had to give Guang Yang a proper explanation. He couldn't just confuse the Tycoon Lee's wealth to Liu Shun, right?
Lin Feng and Luo Yong treated Guangyang as their big brother's territory, so they obviously didn't want Tian Kai to stay in Guangyang City. But Xiao Feng had to admit that he was framing Li Cheng and Li Guan Brothers, in order to make Tian Kai speechless and obediently scram.
