Chapter 95 Jealousy Kills: Zhang Fu Imprisoned
Chapter 95 Jealousy Kills: Zhang Fu Imprisoned
Lin Feng shook his head and said:
"Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu, you're really foolish!"
In order to obtain a position of justice,
They did something that harmed others and themselves.
Do you think you can get what you want by using this kind of method?
Even if you really become the judge,
Can you live with yourself in peace?
Can we win the genuine support of the villagers?
Zhang Fu lowered his head, his face full of shame.
"Lin Feng, I...I know I was wrong."
I was momentarily bewitched.
They were blinded by power.
Lu Qingqing said from the side:
"Now you know you were wrong,"
The damage has already been done and is irreversible.
Raymond Lam sighed deeply:
"Zhang Fu, things have come to this."
You must be responsible for your actions.
We will report this matter truthfully.
As for how to handle it, that depends on the decision from above.
Zhang Fu trembled, his eyes filled with fear and regret:
"Lin Feng, I beg you..."
Can you give me a chance?
Lin Feng's gaze was firm:
It's not that I don't want to give you a chance.
"It's not that you've chosen the wrong path."
The surrounding villagers shook their heads and sighed.
I am extremely disappointed with Zhang Fu's behavior.
Zhang Fu knew he couldn't escape this time.
He slumped to the ground in frustration, muttering to himself:
"What sins have I committed?"
In a moment of folly, I've driven myself to this predicament.
Lin Feng looked at his dejected appearance.
Although there was anger in my heart,
But a touch of pity also arose:
"Zhang Fu, if you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place."
If you can walk upright and sit properly
Earn it through your own abilities.
They wouldn't have ended up like this.
Lu Qingqing sighed and said:
"Village Chief Zhang, one wrong step leads to another."
It's too late to regret it now.
Zhang Fu raised his head, his eyes vacant.
I'm sorry everyone.
I'm sorry to the villagers in both villages.
Compared to Zhang Fu's frustration,
The villagers from Linjia Village who came along were extremely happy.
They not only found rice,
They also caught the rice thief.
Now the county magistrate should not blame their village.
No need for Lin Feng to give instructions.
The people then loaded the rice onto the oxcart.
Everyone was busy at work, and laughter filled the air.
"Haha, this time it's truly a blessing from heaven!"
"This isn't just divine intervention, it's a miracle!"
"This is all thanks to Qingqing's two little wolfhounds."
Everyone turned their attention to Lu Qingqing and her two children, Diandian and Doudou, who were happily bouncing around beside her.
"you do not say,
If it weren't for these two clever little guys...
How could we have found this place?
"Yes, yes, we should treat them well."
Lu Qingqing smiled and patted Diandian and Doudou's heads:
"They are usually very clever."
This time, I've done a great service.
Dot Dot and Bean Bean seemed to understand everyone's praise.
Its tail wagged even more enthusiastically.
The village chief also walked up to Dian Dian and Dou Dou.
He reached out and patted their heads, saying:
"Thanks to your help this time"
"I'll buy you chicken when we go into town."
Dot and Bean let out a few happy howls.
They circled around the village chief several times.
Lu Qingqing said with a smile:
"Village chief, you're too kind."
Their help was purely coincidental.
The village chief waved his hand:
"That won't do; those who have made contributions must be rewarded."
These two little guys are real heroes to our village.
Lin Yunlan walked over and said:
"Village chief, the rice has all been loaded onto the oxcart."
What should we do with Zhang Fu?
Lin Feng said:
"We took the rice and Zhang Fu to the county government office together."
Let the magistrate decide for himself.
The villagers from Linjia Village who came with us said:
"Village chief, you should drive the oxcart directly there."
A few of us walked back to the village to wait for news.
Lin Feng looked at the villagers with gratitude:
"Then please go back to the village first and wait for our news,"
Then, the village chief looked at Lu Qingqing and said:
"Qingqing, why don't you come along?"
After all, you are more familiar with the county magistrate.
If the magistrate is displeased, you can put in a good word for him.
Lin Erzhu was worried that the oxcart wouldn't be able to fit so many people.
They then took Dian Dian and Dou Dou and went back with the villagers.
Finally, Lin Yunlan's oxcart carried people...
Feilong's oxcart was loaded with rice.
The group hurried to the county government office.
After arriving at the county government office,
County Magistrate Li Xiuming listened to the village chief recount the whole story.
Enraged, he kicked Zhang Fu directly.
"You fool, do you even know that?"
The method of double-cropping rice is crucial to the livelihood of our people.
I have already reported this to the imperial court.
If the Emperor finds out...
Someone is maliciously disrupting important matters concerning people's livelihoods.
Your head might even need to be moved!
Zhang Fu trembled with fear and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy:
"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
The younger one was just confused for a moment.
I will never dare to do it again!
Li Xiuming shouted:
"Spare my life? You've committed such a grave mistake!"
Still want to beg for mercy?
Do you know how much disaster this will bring to so many people!
Lin Feng, Lu Qingqing, and the others also looked solemn.
Li Xiuming paced back and forth, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"This matter must be severely punished as a warning to others!"
Guards, take Zhang Fu into custody first.
I will make a decision after I report it!
The county yamen runners immediately stepped forward.
They dragged Zhang Fu away.
Lin Feng cupped his hands and said:
"My lord is wise,
Only in this way can justice be upheld and the people's peace of mind be restored.
Li Xiuming looked at Lu Qingqing, Lin Feng, and the others.
The tone softened somewhat:
"Thanks to you all, the rice was recovered in time."
This prevented even greater losses.
Li Xiuming then looked at Lu Qingqing and asked:
"Madam Lu, it's one thing that you're so clever, but..."
Why is your little wolfhound so smart?
As soon as he said that,
The tense atmosphere eased considerably.
They all laughed.
Lin Feng also laughed and said:
"My lord, you know what?"
These two little wolfhounds are really smart.
They were a huge help at a crucial moment.
Li Xiuming stroked his beard and nodded, saying:
"It seems that everything in this world has a spirit."
They shouldn't be underestimated.
The magistrate then instructed Lin Feng:
"We must take good care of the rice this time."
We can't afford any more mistakes.
Raymond Lam also solemnly replied:
"Yes, I will definitely keep a close eye on things this time."
Nothing like this will ever happen again.
After the matter was concluded, everyone bowed to Li Xiuming in farewell.
Then he left the county government office.
Stepping out of the county government office, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
Said:
"Good heavens, that really scared me to death!"
This troublesome matter is finally resolved.
Lu Qingqing smiled and said:
"Village chief, don't worry, after this incident..."
I believe no one will dare to cause any more damage.
Lin Yunlan echoed:
"Then let's hurry back."
Tell the villagers this good news.
Lin Feng took a couple of steps, then suddenly remembered something.
"No, no, let's go, we need to get to the market first."
I need to buy a chicken.
Those two little wolfhounds did a great job.
I promised to buy them chicken to eat.
I absolutely have to do it.
Lu Qingqing looked at the village chief's serious expression.
He said with a smile:
"Village chief, you really do keep your word."
He then burst into laughter.
The others laughed along with them.
I think this kind of village chief is quite cute.
Lin Feng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:
"That's only right, you have to keep your promise."
Subsequently,
The village chief really did buy a chicken for Dian Dian and Dou Dou.
The group then happily went back.
Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed.
They were talking about their experience.
"This time it was a close call, but we escaped with nothing."
Fortunately, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.
When they returned to Linjia Village,
Many villagers had already gathered at the village entrance, eagerly awaiting their arrival.
"So? Has the matter been resolved?"
"Village chief, please tell us how Zhang Fu was dealt with."
Lin Feng laughed and said loudly:
"Everything's been resolved, everyone can rest assured!"
Zhang Fu is now in prison for disrupting people's livelihoods.
The county magistrate also allowed us to bring back the stolen rice.
As soon as the village chief spoke,
The villagers were very happy.
The scene was filled with laughter and joy.
Someone shouted excitedly:
"Great! That bad guy has finally been punished!"
"Our rice is back! That's wonderful!"
"Finally, I don't have to worry about being punished anymore!"
The village chief continued:
"Although the matter has been resolved..."
However, we need to pay more attention to the issue of safeguarding the rice.
This time it was lucky.
It might not go so smoothly next time.
We cannot give those with ill intentions any more opportunity.
Everyone nodded and responded in unison:
"The village chief is right, we will definitely take turns guarding it day and night this time!"
"That's right, we absolutely cannot afford another mistake!"
The village chief looked at everyone with satisfaction and said:
"Alright, then let's start strengthening our defenses tonight."
They take turns guarding them.
When the rice harvest is plentiful, our whole village will celebrate together.
Everyone nodded and said:
"Okay, we'll all listen to the village chief."
After that, everyone became extremely alert.
They voluntarily took turns guarding the second crop of rice day and night.
The village chief also prepared chicken for Dian Dian and Dou Dou.
Treat the two little ones to a treat.
Seeing that the village chief kept his word, Lu Qingqing's family...
I have grown to respect the village chief even more.
