Feng Ziyong, County Magistrate Feng, came to Wuchang County in the morning, and went here to see his own relatives and uncle. It happened that the battle between the Ma family had just ended. After meeting with his aunt and his family, he explained the situation and came to the county government to handle it.

Feng Ziyong is about the same age as Ma Jiyuan, the eldest son of the Ma family. He grew up in the Ma family when he was young, but he was very good at talking to Ma Mingyuan, much younger than him. The main reason is that Ma Jiyuan is too old-fashioned, while Ma Mingyuan has a similar personality to Feng Ziyong.

Ma Mingyuan lived at Feng Ziyong's house for more than three months when he went to study in Nanzhili. He knew this second cousin very well. Although his second cousin was not very good at studying, he was only admitted to the third grade in his thirties, and his ranking was still at the back. However, Feng Ziyong had no spirit of hard work in other literati. Ma Mingyuan also joked with him that the most suitable person for him was to be a local official.

Ma Mingyuan was very happy to see Feng Ziyong as an official in Wuchang. He had just promised Zhu Hongsan to find literati and intellectuals for him. His second cousin was also one of his goals. Hearing Feng Ziyong said he wanted to rush to the county government to hand over, he happened to be unwilling to get involved in his parents' affairs at home. He said to his father and accompanied Feng Ziyong to the county government.

After Feng Ziyong and the previous county magistrate handed over, they sat down with Ma Mingyuan. Before they could say anything, someone reported that an injury case had occurred. This was why Feng Ziyong was punishing Zhu Hongsan in the hall.

Back in the backyard, I told my cousin about the passing. I asked if Zhu Hongsan was really the little sister's fiancé?

Only then did Ma Mingyuan explain the past to Feng Ziyong in detail. Naturally, the part that my little sister was not a virgin was hidden.

After listening to this, Feng Ziyong said, "Cousin, I think this playboy is not a good match for my cousin. I saw that he was lying at a young age and was good at using power to suppress others. In the end, there was no way to be a manly person and cried and made a big fuss in the court. If I weren't sure what my uncle and aunt meant, I really wanted to order his legs to be broken."

Ma Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "There is no way. My younger sister has deep love for him, and her parents have agreed to their marriage. This matter cannot be saved."

Feng Ziyong nodded: "Since that's the case, do I want some means to make those ruffians dare not speak? It's better to let go of my brother-in-law?"

Ma Mingyuan shook his hand: "No need, our brother-in-law can do a lot. Second brother, please watch it, he will solve it himself." After saying that, he saw that nothing was wrong, Ma Mingyuan bid farewell to Feng Ziyong and went home.

Feng Ziyong said goodbye to Ma Mingyuan and returned to the back hall. He thought: Mingyuan said that the boy had a way, what good way could he have in prison? But their family said that one of my nephews was not beautiful, so let's see what the boy did.

Ma Mingyuan went home and told his family about this. Mrs. Ma and Ma Guoxiang were so angry that they regretted their marriage. Ma Xiaofang even cried and even said it was impossible. Sanlang loved him so much. After that, he had to go out to the prison to see him. But Ma Mingxiang stopped his daughter and said, "Are you not embarrassing enough? You have to ask your cousin to arrange for you to sneak in tomorrow. When is it now? You, a girl, go to the prison to see a man in the middle of the night. Are you going to throw away the face of our Ma family clean?"

Ma Xiaofang thought so, and then went back to the house to sleep.

The next day, as soon as the county gate opened, Ma Xiaofang took his second brother to the county government office. Feng Ziyong asked his master to arrange for Ma Xiaofang to meet Zhu Hongsan, and Ma Mingyuan and Feng Ziyong waited for tea in the back hall without mentioning it.

Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied last night and asked Fatty Qian to take ten taels of silver to trouble the prison boss to go out to buy a roast chicken, two kilograms of pork head meat and a stall of rice wine. He drank it with the prison boss until the middle of the night last night. If he hadn't been in the prison, he really wouldn't want to go home. When he just got up this morning, he sat on the ground and scratched his head and thought about what to do. When he heard the sound of the prison door, Zhu Hongsan looked up and saw that it was Ma Xiaofang who was here.

Ma Xiaofang was angry, but before coming, she thought about how to cure Zhu Hongsan. But as soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhu Hongsan's head full of grass dandruff. She sat on the ground with bloody legs, and her anger turned into soft fingers. She cried: "My cousin is too cruel. How could he still beat his brother-in-law?"

When Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Xiaofang coming in, he hurriedly said, "Sister Xiaofang, don't worry, it's all skin trauma."

Ma Xiaofang looked at her injured leg and said distressedly: "Didn't you say in the hall that you are the son-in-law of the Ma family?"

Zhu Hongsan's eyes rolled and replied angrily: "I didn't say anything at the beginning, and the great-grandson didn't say anything. He just wanted to put Fat Qian and I into prison. When I saw this delaying my marriage proposal, I told him about the relationship and specifically said that our uncle was Feng Ruoshu, the governor of Henan. If he didn't say this, his second cousin was furious and said that he was most annoying to these poor relatives. Not to mention that he was just a cousin, even if his cousin Ma Mingyuan violated him, he was also Wang Fa Wuqing, so he broke my calves. If my uncle was not the old superior of these yamen runners, he might have just been cut off."

When Ma Xiaofang heard this, she said in anger: "This is my second cousin, she looks like a gentleman. I don't know him yet. When I was young, I heard that when he was young, he was blocked by his second cousin's wife and was unable to jump off the second floor and broke his leg. Unexpectedly, he is now pretending to be beaten up with his brother-in-law."

Zhu Hongsanyi almost laughed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the handsome middle-aged county magistrate had this hobby.

Ma Xiaofang talked about Feng Ziyong's visit to the brothel and remembered that today he was here to question Zhu Hongsan. He immediately turned around Zhu Hongsan's ear and said, "Tell me, why did you go to such dirty places? Didn't you say you haven't been there?"

Zhu Hongsan hurriedly said, "Let go, sister, I'm twisting it off. Listen to me and tell you."

Ma Xiaofang let go of her hand and said, "You have to explain clearly that I and you are not finished today."

Zhu Hongsan said, "This is the thing. Yesterday your second brother came to my house to discuss our marriage. You know. After I sent your second brother away, I was going to work in the farm. At this time, Fatty Qian's family came to me and said Fatty Qian would not give money to someone to deduct it. If he didn't take the money, he would have to discount his hands and legs."

Ma Xiaofang glared at Qian Fatty Man on the side. She knew who Qian Fatty Man was, and they all grew up. Qian Fatty Man was about to say something, but when he saw Zhu Hongsan's vicious eyes, he quickly closed his mouth.

Zhu Hongsan continued, "Then I rode my horse to the farm to find Zhao Goudan. You know if I can fight. Goudan is OK. Then we went to the brothel to save people. They were going to break my brother's hands. Of course, I would give it back twice, so let Zhao Goudan break their limbs."

Ma Xiaofang said on the side: "Yes, you need a ruthless approach to dealing with evil people."

Zhu Hongsan continued, "Then I saw that the matter was serious, so I asked Zhao Goudan to leave first. Xiaofang, you know that my uncle was seriously ill. I was afraid that he would know that Zhao Goudan was anxious. So I told the inspection department that I did the whole thing."

Ma Xiaofang nodded repeatedly and said, "My husband is really a kind and loyal husband. You did a good job. You should take good care of your injuries. I will go to my second cousin and let him let you out." After Ma Xiaofang said a few words, she went out.

Ma Xiaofang returned to the back hall of the county government angrily and saw two second brothers drinking tea. She went into the room and said to Feng Ziyong, "My second cousin is so powerful. When I come to Wuchang, will I give my family a warning first?"

Feng Ziyong was stunned and said, "Xiaofang, what's wrong with you?"

"Second cousin, I ask you, did you order to clamp his legs after Zhu Hongsan had already mentioned his relationship with the Ma family?"

"That's the case. I want to vent my anger on you, my sister."

"Come on, you saw Zhu Hongsan so affectionate and loyal, and was willing to be punished for his brothers. I remembered that you were chasing the brothel by your second sister-in-law and broke your legs after jumping off the building. You were ashamed and wanted to break Zhu Hongsan's legs. You forgot that you grew up in my family when you were a child, and my father and mother treated you like a parent-child. Now you are good, have you forgotten your past friendship when you become an official? Do you still say that you should not be your cousin's husband, even my second brother doesn't talk about favors?"

Feng Ziyong was dumbfounded. When Ma Mingyuan saw that Ma Xiaofang was saying too much, he drank: "Xiaofang, how could he talk to his second cousin like this? Why don't you apologize quickly?"

Ma Xiaofang snorted and said, "I will tell my mother when I get home. My second cousin thinks about how to explain to your dear aunt." After that, he shook his head and went home.

Feng Ziyong reacted and said, "It must be that Zhu Hongsan who used right and wrong in front of his sister."

Ma Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother, please think about how to explain to his mother. Xiaofang must have gone home and told her about these things."

Feng Ziyong was Feng Ruoshu's illegitimate child. His biological mother died when she was a child. At that time, Feng Ruoshu was studying in Nanjing. His stepmother didn't like him, so he had his aunt, Mrs. Ma, who was brought to Wuchang Mansion. He was raised until he grew up and was also found by his aunt. So it was not an exaggeration to say that Mrs. Ma was Feng Ziyong's adoptive mother. This time, he was frightened when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this and said, "Why is this good? Hurry, let's go to your house to explain to your aunt." After that, he pulled Ma Mingyuan out.

On the way home, Ma Xiaofang thought that he could not just listen to Zhu Hongsan's one-sided words. He didn't say he was looking for a dog, but just the way. So he asked the coachman to go to Zhu's Farm.

I knew it after I went there and asked. I didn’t know what Goudan and Zhu Hongsan said, and Tieniu said that too. It seemed that Zhu Hongsan did not lie. After asking clearly, a dark cloud in Ma Xiaofang’s heart dissipated and she went home and didn’t mention it.

————————————————

In the county jail, when Fatty Qian saw Ma Xiaofang leave, he stepped forward to Zhu Hongsan and said, "Brother, I admire you so much. Even dead people can make you live. But if you make up lies in the future, can you get angry with me first?"

Zhu Hongsan glared: "What does it mean to make up lies? What I just said is the facts, you must remember them in the future."

Fatty Qian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I remember. I don't pay for prostitution."

Zhu Hongsan looked at the eight thugs locked in the cell opposite and thought to himself: "It seems that they can't stay any more."

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan called the prison head outside. The prison head just now heard it clearly outside. When he saw the relationship between Zhu Hongsan and the county magistrate, his attitude became more and more respectful. Zhu Hongsan said a few words in the prison head's ear. The prison head looked embarrassed. Zhu Hongsan said, "I have two hundred silver to give it to you after the matter. The prison head knew that my uncle was seriously ill. Now the county yamen runners are still empty. I will help my brother do this when I go out."

The prison head nodded repeatedly with the dual temptation of money and status. After going out for a while, he took in a pile of mulberry paper and a bucket of cold water. After putting it down, he left a bunch of keys. Zhu Hongsan got up and opened the prison door and came to the eight green-skinned cells opposite. He saw eight green-skinned limbs lying on the ground. He had not drunk water and ate for a day, and was half dead.

Zhu Hongsan opened their prison door and carried mulberry paper and buckets in. Heat the mulberry paper with water, put five or six pieces on each person's face, and stick them around to prevent breathability. Qian Fatty was originally watching from the side and didn't understand what was going on. Now there was no one who didn't understand. Zhu Hongsan was a killer. Qian Fatty was so scared that he was cold and sweating all over his body and his limbs were chilled.

Zhu Hongsan stood and watched the eight people die, and waited for another ten minutes. He took off the mulberry paper on their faces and walked towards the cell behind. There was no female prison in Wuchang County, and female prisoners were taken to the city before. So the madam was locked in a cell by himself.

Women are more patient than men, so the madam is okay, at least she is still awake. Seeing Zhu Hongsan killing those who are so scared that she was so scared that she saw Zhu Hongsan coming in and retreating to the corner of the wall, she didn't care about the pain in her hands and feet this time, after all, life is important.

The madam begged Zhu Hongsan: "Grandmaster, please spare me. I don't know the power of the great official, but I am blind. Don't worry, I will tell people that eight of them were seriously injured and died, and I will never say that they are from the great official." Seeing Zhu Hongsan stopping, thinking that Zhu Hongsan listened, and then said, "Grandmaster, please spare me, a couple, a hundred days of kindness. "

Zhu Hongsan said, "You are uneasy if you don't die. Madam, please go with peace of mind." After that, he pressed the madam's hands and feet and pasted mulberry paper. After a while, the madam stopped moving.

Zhu Hongsan packed up and closed the prison door. Back in his hungry cell, Fatty Qian asked in fear: "Brother, you won't kill me to silence me."

Zhu Hongsan patted Qian Fatty on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry? I, Zhu Laosan, are thunderous methods against the enemy, and drink and eat meat to his brothers. Remember not to become my enemy in the future."
