Chapter 147: Unjust Case? Let Me Calculate It (1/2)

After sending his subordinates out to conquer the world, Feng Tianzong took a leisurely stroll around the harem. There are still a few days until tax collection, and Feng Tianzong is not in a hurry.

In the entire world of immortal cultivation, there are very few people with his cultivation speed. He found that he had been a little anxious recently, and was ready to adjust his mood and enjoy the wealth in the world.

"Husband, the Chinese New Year is almost here. We haven't gone out shopping for several years. There have been a lot of things lately, so why don't we go out and relax." Xiang Yijing suggested.

Jin Jinyun has also been depressed recently because of her father's affairs. She is angry at her father for not caring about the relationship between father and daughter, and is also afraid that her husband will really kill her father.

Later I heard that Feng Tianzong had let his father go and led his troops back, but there was no news again. She also knew that her father had made a big mistake, and she had been serving Feng Tianzong very diligently recently, hoping to help her father redeem himself.

Poetic, spring breeze, autumn moon, and Yulian who just recently joined the harem. After hearing Xiang Yijing's proposal, she also looked at Feng Tianzong with earnest eyes.

"Okay, then I'll take you out for a walk." Feng Tianzong nodded in agreement.

He is still very confident in the security of Liaoyuan City. He will not close his house at night unless he is talking about the street or picking up leftovers. At least there are no gang members bullying people in the city, and there are no big gentry running rampant.

Feng Tianzong felt that without these people, the public security in the city would definitely be much better, and even bullying would be completely eliminated.

It's been a while since he used the Detector Eye to scout the city. It was really a waste of time and effort, and those ordinary people were not worth his round-the-clock investigation.

The group of people drove in a simple vehicle without any guards. They exited the Weiyang Palace and found a spacious street. This area was inhabited by the officials and their families in the city.

There are no shops nearby. You have to walk some distance outside to find the Yamen. There are shops next to the Yamen.

Because the New Year is about to come, the streets are very lively. Although there are no big gentry families, there are still rich people in the city. A group of young princes are playing and making noise in the streets with their friends.

"Who are these people?" Feng Tianzong asked.

"Looking at their age, they should be students from the academy. Many are the children of officials in the city, and some are children of businessmen." Jin Jinyun followed Feng Tianzong and replied in a low voice.

Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing still have part-time jobs in the yamen. Although they don't go there often, they still have some confidants in the yamen. What happens in the city cannot be hidden from their eyes and ears.

Feng Tianzong nodded. After the old interest classes such as the gentry and gangs were overthrown, a new interest class emerged.

It's just that now all the fields in the city are in Feng Tianzong's hands, and the law does not allow the buying and selling of fields. These talents did not become big landowners and became the gentry class again.

"This brother, is he new to our Liaoyuan City?" A young man dressed as a scholar asked Feng Tianzong.

"How did you tell that I was new here?" Feng Tianzong asked with a smile.

"Isn't this simple? I have seen every young man with some wealth in the city. Even if I don't know him, I have heard of him and he looks familiar. But brother, you are different. I have never seen him or heard of him. I have never seen a young master with so many beauties around him," the scholar said confidently.

"Brother, you are really brave. You are traveling with so many beauties, but you don't even have a few servants to protect the courtyard." Shusheng Tao said in a close tone.

"Is there any danger? I heard that this Liaoyuan city does not close its doors at night unless it picks up leftovers. There are not even any idle scoundrels. The public security is very good, right?" Feng Tianzong said casually.

"Our public security in Liaoyuan City is indeed good, but if you say that you don't close your house at night if you don't pick up things on the road, that's a bit exaggerated. Petty thefts are common, but most of them are not organized.

There is no danger, but when you go to a crowded place and there are so many women around you, it is still possible for someone to sneakily touch you.

If Xiongtai listens to the next advice, it is best not to go to crowded places with these women. "The scholar advised.

Feng Tianzong shook his head and said: "Brother is right, we will find a restaurant in a while and see the excitement. If brother doesn't mind, how about we go have a drink together?"

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. Thank you for your hospitality, brother. I'm Si Changchi, a student from the academy in the city. May I ask your name, brother?" Si Changchi asked, holding up his hands.

"It's easy to say that Congwei is indeed from out of town. Now the whole northern Xinjiang is in chaos. I heard that the public security in Liaoyuan City is very good. I plan to move my family here. I came here in advance to explore the way." Feng Tianzong said.

"Our northern Xinjiang has indeed been experiencing constant wars in recent years, as well as natural and man-made disasters. If the Marquis of Liaoyuan had not worked hard to clean up the gentry and gang members, and took in refugees on a large scale, our Liaoyuan City would not be as prosperous as it is today." Si Changchi was obviously worried. Marquis Liaoyuan admired him very much, and his tone of voice was full of admiration.

Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing saw this man's high regard for their husbands, and felt quite proud of Yourong Yan. At the same time, he also felt that if this person fell into Feng Tianzong's eyes, he would definitely have a bright future in the future.

"Brother Cong, this Poyun Restaurant is the largest and best restaurant in our Liaoyuan City. The most respectable young men in the city usually eat here. If you eat in the hall, the price is not expensive.

This building gets more expensive as you go up. The fifth floor is all single rooms, and you can enjoy the scenery of the whole city from this building. I heard that those with good eyesight can even see the scenery in Weiyang Palace. "Si Changchi introduced.

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of the women behind Feng Tianzong suddenly turned bad. When the sun was shining, Feng Tianzong liked to take them to the garden to sit under the sky and on the ground. Wouldn't this be seen by someone?

"Then let's go to the fifth floor to have a look." Feng Tianzong didn't show any expression on his face and went straight upstairs.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the group went up to the fifth floor. There were six single rooms on the fifth floor, each with a window.

Feng Tianzong deliberately chose a single room corresponding to the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is in the inner city and has a city wall. Looking over here, you can only see the rockery in the palace and some taller trees.

With his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, he couldn't see people clearly, let alone other people. However, his old nest is indeed a bit simple, such as the royal capital, such as the boundary gate pass, which are all guarded by large formations. His Liaoyuan City has no formations arranged, which does look a bit simple.

I am also a puppeteer, and my attainments in formations are not low. There are a lot of materials in the spoils from Qianshan Sect, so it is time to consider refining a protective formation.

Si Changchi saw Feng Tianzong go straight to the window after going upstairs, and immediately said with a smile: "Look, you can really see the scenery in Weiyang Palace, right? Look at how magnificent the rockery is."

"Brother Si, please sit down. I am planning to move my family to Liaoyuan City. I don't know many things in the city, and I want to ask Brother Si for advice." Feng Tianzong said.

Feng Tianzong sat opposite Si Changchi, and several female relatives sat at a separate table. Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing sat on Feng Tianzong's left and right, pouring wine and picking up dishes for him.

"My family is in business, and I know that the buying and selling of land is not allowed under the jurisdiction of Liaoyuan City. The most feared thing about doing business is trouble, so I want to ask, who is the most powerful person in the city? My shop is open, will anyone come to cause trouble?" Feng Tianzong asked.

"If we talk about the most powerful person, it is naturally the old man Liaoyuan Hou. He has great magical powers and boundless magic power. He usually doesn't care about mundane things. Mundane things are all handled by the city lord Wang Mingyuan.

As for whether someone will cause trouble for opening a shop, it depends on what kind of business you are doing. Some businesses will inevitably cause trouble." Si Changchi drank a glass of wine and shook his head.

"Huh? Isn't it said that the public security in Liaoyuan City is very good? Why is there still someone causing trouble?" Feng Tianzong said puzzledly.

"The public security in this city is indeed very good. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke others, no one will come to trouble you. It's just that there will be some petty thefts and fights occasionally, which are inevitable.

But if the shop you opened touches the interests of others, then someone will definitely cause trouble for you. Brother Cong, since you invited me to drink today.

Then this wine will not be in vain. I will tell you the tricks here." Si Changchi said seriously.

There are several families in Liaoyuan City that must not be offended. One of them is the family of the city lord Wang Mingyuan. Liaoyuan Hou does not care about the mundane world. The city lord Wang Mingyuan is second to none in Liaoyuan City. His family's business cannot be touched. It is a unique business.

Another is the family of Liaoyuan Hou's two concubines. Jin Fei's father is the commander of the Zhenyuan Army and has business dealings with Liaoyuan Hou. The Jin family is engaged in timber and horse livestock business. Others cannot get involved in this business.

There is also Xiang Fei's business. It is rumored that Xiang Fei was born in the Duke of Yunguo Mansion in Wangdu, a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Her family deals in Guandong goods. Everything shipped from the east of Jiemen Pass is monopolized by their family.

Xiang Yijing and Jin Jinyun's faces changed instantly, but at this time, there was no way to explain to Feng Tianzong.

Feng Tianzong frowned slightly, as if Liaoyuan City was not as clean as he imagined.

Si Changchi saw the two women serving Feng Tianzong turned pale, and immediately stood up and knelt on the ground with his head on the ground: "I am here to see Marquis Liaoyuan. I have a great grievance in my heart, and I hope Marquis Liaoyuan will help me."

"Have you known that I am Marquis Liaoyuan for a long time?" Feng Tianzong asked.

"I dare not hide it from you, Marquis. When I first met you, I had some guesses in my heart. Later, during the conversation, I gradually tested it. It was not until I came to this Poyun Tower that I was sure that you were Marquis Liaoyuan." Si Changchi said with his head touching the ground, not daring to move.

Feng Tianzong was not angry, but felt that this person did have some talent.

"You can tell me what grievances you have. If there are really people who are lawless, this Marquis can help you." Feng Tianzong said casually.

"My Lord, I was a refugee with my parents and was settled outside the city as a tenant. Because you are kind and collected less rent, my parents saved money for three years and started a small business. Slowly, they opened a clothing store. It happened that you were promoting education and setting up a college, so my parents sent me to the college.

Just because my parents were greedy and bought a batch of silk from Guandong instead of the Xiang family's shop, they framed them and said they were spies.

They sent people to the government to arrest them. They had no evidence, but they kept my parents in custody and finally died unjustly in prison.

If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning, pierced by thousands of arrows, and cut into pieces. I will not die well." Si Changchi said with indignation.

"Let me do the math." Feng Tianzong counted with his fingers. A mere mortal, there is no possibility of hiding what has happened in front of Feng Tianzong's Liantian Yishu.

This Si Changchi did not lie in general, but in fact he was not as innocent as he said. The government arrested his parents under the instructions of the Xiang family, but there was evidence.

The Xiang family's clan members made groundless accusations. When arresting his parents, they actually found some letters from them to Guandong.

It's just that these letters used code words, and the government couldn't decipher them. They could only lock people up and want to investigate slowly, and then they were killed in prison by Xiang family clan members who paid them money.

In other words, Xiang family clan members did want to frame them, and after they were imprisoned, they killed the couple.

But the couple themselves were not innocent, and there were some code letters.

Feng Tianzong began to calculate Si Changchi's parents again. These two were not spies, but escaped slaves. The families of the two were all in Guandong, but they did not dare to contact each other openly, and the letters they wrote were also a bit obscure.

It can be said that the government did not make a big mistake in this matter, but the Xiang family was indeed a bit overbearing.

Not to mention bullying men and women, it can also be regarded as an evil force.

"I already know about your parents. They were runaway slaves from a wealthy family in Guandong. They stole their master's money and ran away together.

The capital they used to start their business was not earned from hard work in farming, but from stealing.

The government arrested them because they found their correspondence with Guandong, which contained many secret codes. So it is normal to suspect them and put them in prison.

But no matter what, they did not steal from my Liaoyuan City, and they did not violate the laws of my Liaoyuan City.

There were many refugees who started their business by rebelling. I also said that after coming to my Liaoyuan City, I will forgive them for their past.

Your parents were indeed persecuted by the Xiang family. I can overturn the case for you and bring the Xiang family members who framed your parents to justice." Feng Tianzong said.

"Thank you, my lord. Your kindness is great. I will never be able to repay you in this life." Si Changchi said excitedly.
