wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 46-46.
Kangzhi County saw that Zheng Zongde didn't know how to mention Tian Erya, and narrowed his eyes: "Brother Zongde, do you think Tian Erya was innocently imprisoned? Or, release her and let your son Yuan Fei stay in the prison?"

Zheng Zongde shook his head hastily: "My lord, that's not what I mean. I just want to ask, what kind of crime will Tian Erya be sentenced to? What will happen?"

"Assassination of a high official of the court, how can the crime be small? End?" Kang Zhixian gestured on his neck.

Zheng Zongde couldn't bear it: "My lord, can you arrange for her to be exiled, or sentenced to a serious crime?"

Kang Zhixian put down his teacup heavily: "Stupid! The reason for Tian Erya's conviction is very far-fetched. Although she recommended the scissors from your Longshunhe shop to Sai Diaochan, can she buy the scissors from your shop? I still want you Longshun's scissors." Shunhe has the final say. Besides, you really think I don’t know, this batch of scissors was allocated from the share turned over to the Armed Forces Academy by your family, and specially reserved for Sai Diaochan. If you really want to pursue it, your family will do everything possible to provide the sharpest blades. Giving the scissors to Sai Diaochan so that she can murder the magistrate, the crime is notorious."

Zheng Zongde broke out in a cold sweat, and took out a 500 tael silver note from his pocket: "My lord, Longshunhe is doing business without deception. If customers want to buy scissors, we can only find ways to meet their needs. The Armed Forces Institute has not issued an order yet. An order for pre-ordered scissors, so we will give the scissors in reserve to the customers in an emergency first, and there is absolutely no intention of providing assassination weapons."

"Of course I know you didn't mean that, so I let you go." Kang Zhixian looked at the banknote happily, and his tone became very gentle, "Brother Zongde, you don't want the kindness of a woman, you want to be kind?" Thinking about it, if Tian Erya doesn't ask to beheaded, she will be sentenced to a severe sentence. She still has family members, and she always wants to save her. Her family members are going to make trouble, which will never end, how will it end with you and me?"

"That's what the lord said."

Kangzhi County followed the instructions carefully: "On the wedding night, Tian Erya was stunned by your fourth son's bride, Ms. Wu, and she was placed on your fourth son's bed. I heard that she insisted on making a fuss about being your fourth son's wife. Now that she asks about beheading, you don't have to worry about her being a toad who wants to eat swan meat and pester your fourth son. At that time, your fourth son can marry a high-ranking prostitute daughter. Plus, he is a good student and has a bright future. Don't let it go Go over to Tian Erya, and ruin your son's marriage again."

Zheng Zongde nodded again and again, with a little shame, he accepted Kangzhi County's decision to sentence Tian Erya to beheaded, and led his son Yuanfei back.

Zheng Yuansheng returned from the Wu Mansion to Zheng's house, and heard the report from his servants that his father and third brother had returned, so he hurried to the hall.

In the hall, Mrs. Zheng led a group of people waiting eagerly. They were very happy to see Zheng Zongde and Zheng Yuanfei returning.

Zheng Yuanfei was wearing a prison uniform, but his dusty face was full of spirits: "I knew I would be fine. Father and Kangzhi County have such a deep friendship, and Kangzhi County will never do anything to me."

Zheng Zongde snorted: "Do you have a heart, kid? You can still be happy now. If you and Sai Diaochan weren't so close, would you be considered Sai Diaochan's accomplice?"

"I don't know about this. Who would have thought that such a beautiful and weak woman as Boss Sai would assassinate the magistrate? I never dreamed of it, but fortunately, Tian Erya was substituted for the crime."

"Keep your voice down, don't say this kind of thing again."

Zheng Yuanfei's daughter-in-law pulled him and said, "Master, thank you father and mother for your safe return this time. My mother found out that the mother in Kangzhi County believed in Buddhism, and Kangzhi County is a dutiful son, so she specially sent the Jade Guanyin sent by her mother's family to him." To Kangzhi County. Kangzhi County was very happy to see the Jade Guanyin, and father gave Kangzhi County 500 taels of silver to let Tian Erya take the blame, save your life, and save you from suffering."

Zheng Yuanfei knelt down to Zheng Zongde and Mrs. Zheng: "Thank you father and mother, it's all my fault, I made the elders bother."

Madam helped him up and looked him up and down: "It's good that you come back safely."

Hearing their conversation outside, Zheng Yuansheng restrained his eyes and walked in: "Third Brother is back? Everyone is worried about you, and they all hope that you will come back soon."

Zheng Yuanfei was very happy to see him: "Fourth brother, I am in prison, so you are worried too."

His daughter-in-law curled her lips: "I'm not worried about you, it's Tian Erya who is worried about you."

Zheng Yuanfei was taken aback for a moment, and his smile faded away.

Zheng Yuansheng smiled warmly: "Of course I am worried about Third Brother, thinking that he and Tian Erya are innocent people and should not be arrested."

Zheng Yuanfei picked up the apple on the plate and took a bite: "Fourth brother, let me ask you, if Tian Erya and I were imprisoned and we could only save one, who would you choose?"

Zheng Yuansheng chose his words carefully: "Third brother, we are blood brothers, of course I put you first."

Zheng Yuanfei took two bites of the apple fiercely: "Looking at your expression, I know it too. Fourth brother, I really didn't expect you to hesitate. Our brotherhood for so many years was in vain."

Zheng Zongde reprimanded: "Third brother, how do you talk?"

Zheng Yuansheng explained: "Third brother, I just feel that pushing Tian Erya out is not moral or human."

Zheng Yuanfei drooped his head and didn't make a sound, thinking fiercely in his heart that his own brothers could not compare to the morality in his heart.

The madam smoothed things over: "Yuan Fei just got out of the prison, he's a little tired, master, don't get angry with him."

"Since you're tired, go back and rest early." Zheng Zongde waved his hand.

Zheng Yuanfei and his wife left, squinting at Zheng Yuansheng before leaving.

Zheng Yuansheng pretended not to notice, and walked to Zheng Zongde's side: "Father, did Kangzhi County really use Tian Erya as a scapegoat?"

Zheng Zongde sighed: "There is no other way. The magistrate of Kang County has to give an explanation to the magistrate. Because Sai Diaochan injured his arm with our scissors, it is impossible for our family not to be accused. We had to issue a Tian Er Ya takes all the charges."

"If it spreads out, it will not be good for our family's reputation."

"I don't care about that much anymore. Keeping your third brother's life is the most important thing. You can't ignore your third brother just to save Tian Erya."

Zheng Yuansheng frowned: "What kind of crime will Tian Erya be sentenced to? Exile or 20 years in prison?"

Zheng Zongde was silent for a while, and then said: "Kangzhi County said that after autumn, he will ask to be killed."

Zheng Yuansheng was taken aback: "How could the sentence be so severe?"

"Kangzhi County said that Zhifu Tong is a nobleman of the emperor, and his body was cut. The court will definitely punish the assailant severely. Sai Diaochan may be sentenced to beheaded. Tian Erya, as an accomplice who provided her with the murder weapon, will be charged with the same crime."

"Father, is there no other way?"

Zheng Zongde shook his head: "There is no other way, but this is the only way. Fourth brother, don't ask about this matter anymore, just let him go!"

What else did Zheng Yuansheng say.

Zheng Zongde let out a long sigh.

Madam stepped forward to support him, walked into the house, saw Zheng Yuansheng chasing after her, and shook her head at him.

Zheng Yuansheng had no choice but to stop.At night, he tossed and turned.

In the early morning of the next day, the people of Zheng's mansion were eating breakfast.The servants came to report, and Tian Erya's elder brother asked to see him outside.

"No one is allowed to see him." Zheng Zongde told his servants with a big head, "Tell him that her sister was implicated by Sai Diaochan because she knew Sai Diaochan, and it has nothing to do with my Zheng family."

Zheng Yuansheng ate silently with his head down.He has already made up his mind to visit Tian Erya in a while.When he went out with the book boy Xia Xia, he saw the iron pillar waiting outside.

When Tie Zhu saw him, he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Fourth Young Master, please do me a favor, take me to see my sister!"
