The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1631 This case is not that simple

The two Chen brothers stood up, but did not intend to follow Cheng Feng to the government office. The eldest brother Chen said, "Fengzi, I don't think this matter needs to be brought to the government office. You go and get the person out."

Cheng Feng said, "Who knows who reported the case and put the blame on me? It seems that the government office asked me to report the case, but in fact, it was this Captain Sun who wanted to take credit for it! How can I not go and repay his efforts? Let's go. We must get an explanation today. Let's go to the government office and reason with them. The people in the government office have many ways to deal with people like Liu Dalan. We usually hate Liu Dalan but can't do anything to her. This time, we will act according to the law we are begging for, impartially, and the case will be judged as it is."

Chen Qingliao considered the reputation of the Cheng family father and son, as well as Cheng Feng's reputation. As long as the matter was explained, he didn't want to embarrass anyone. He hadn't thought about reporting it to the authorities. "Fengzi, I don't think it's appropriate. We are just fellow villagers. Why should we make such a fuss at the government office?"

Boss Cheng, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. "Let's go to the government office. If the people there beat her, I won't have to do it myself. Last time I beat her with a stick, she was bedridden for two months. If I do it again today, I'll kill her."

Boss Cheng was completely fed up with Liu Dalan today. His attitude was very clear, he wanted to beat Liu Dalan to death.

The Chen brothers looked at each other. In fact, they also wanted Liu Dalan to receive the punishment he deserved. They looked calm, but they were actually very angry. They didn't make a fuss because of Cheng Feng's face.

So everyone went to the yamen.

The one who received them was naturally Captain Sun, who had received the news early on. He was the leader of the fast squad and was busy catching criminals in the imperial city all day long. He was also famous for his swiftness in solving cases.

Captain Sun was respectful and flattering to Cheng Feng, "My Lord, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Where are they?"

"You are talking about those two bullies, right? They are locked up. I will never let them go unless you come."

Cheng Feng asked, "Who reported the case and then arrested them?"

"Your Highness is truly a forgetful person. You were the one who reported the case! When I heard it was you who reported it, I dropped what I was doing and went there with my men. Your Highness, only our yamen can handle these two bullies. They are so evil, they are simply corrupting our morals. When I arrived, two stall owners you are familiar with had already been beaten by these bullies. It was terrible. If I hadn't taken my men with me, their lives would have been in danger. By the way, Your Highness, how are those two stall owners? Are they here? I want to get their statements."

"That's unfortunate. One was beaten mad, and the other fainted with two broken ribs. They haven't woken up yet, so neither of them can come to you. But whether they come or not is not important anymore. I believe you have a grasp of the case. Hurry and bring the two people you arrested here. I've been looking for them all day."

Captain Sun gave a look and several yamen runners went to pick up the man.

Liu Dalan was dragged here, and He Ye was carried here. One was covered in blood, and the other had blood on his face. Their mouths were stuffed with a rag. The people who came with Cheng Feng were all shocked on the spot.

Cheng Tiezhu stepped forward to rescue Liu Dalan and He Bao, but was stopped by yamen runners on both sides, who threatened that no one was allowed to get close to the prisoners.

Looking at the barely breathing Liu Dalan, her face covered in blood and tears, and He Bao, Cheng Feng asked Captain Sun, "Did you torture them?"

"No, I do want to punish him, but shouldn't I wait for the prince to come?"

"They are like this, and you say they haven't been tortured?"

"Our yamen is a place for handling cases, not a place for enjoying life. I just rewarded them with forty lashes of the cane and fifty slaps of the face." Captain Sun almost said directly that no one who came here would go unpunished.

"Aren't you abusing lynching?" Looking at the two people who were punished, although it was what everyone expected, in Cheng Feng's opinion, this punishment was not light!

"Your Highness, you are too kindhearted. These two are bullies. They disobeyed the law and disrupted the court. They have repeatedly extorted and assaulted people in public. They are not guilty of any crime. The few slaps I gave them today were just an appetizer. Your Highness, please read their confessions."

Looking at the bloodstained confession, Cheng Feng's mind was full of lawsuits. Liu Dalan and He Bao's crimes were listed as more than 20. This mother and daughter were really hateful, but Cheng Feng didn't know that these two people had committed more than 20 crimes. It was still Captain Sun who had to handle the case! "You didn't confess under torture, did you?"

"Your Highness, you are being unfair to me. Our yamen always enforces the law impartially and with integrity. I have never seen a single wrongful conviction. I witnessed these two bullies beating people with my own eyes. Not only did I see it, but everyone on the street saw it. Your Highness, look, I have testimonies from several witnesses here. And didn't you just say, Your Highness, that one of the stall owners went crazy and the other had two broken ribs? These are all facts, and they didn't complain at all."

Cheng Feng was speechless. These crimes were facts and Liu Dalan could not be excused.

At this moment, the prefect in charge of the case stepped out and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for not welcoming you here. I bow. Please take your seats, both of you."

Shang Xi stood behind Cheng Feng. The prefect didn't even see Shang Xi. The prefect was really good at currying favor with people. No wonder Captain Sun was so popular. It turned out that he was brought up by the prefect.

Cheng Feng said straight to the point: "I'm here to pick someone up."

"Eh? Isn't this the case reported by the prince? Who are you going to pick up?"

Cheng Feng felt wronged. His elder brother and Tiezhu were still here. Even if he reported the case, he couldn't let anyone beat Liu Dalan to death. "I didn't report this case!"

The prefect looked at Inspector Sun and asked, "Inspector Sun, was this case reported by the prince?"

Captain Sun insisted, "It's absolutely true! How could it be false?"

Cheng Feng pointed at his face and said, "Did you see me when you were investigating the case today? I'm here now. Why don't you believe me? I went to play Cuju with my son early this morning. I had no idea when you were arresting people."

However, Captain Sun said, "Prince, whether you are here or not, we must arrest this man. We must punish these criminals and give the people justice. Today's situation has a very bad impact. Half of the street is blocked. This evil trend must be stopped and this bully must be arrested."

Captain Sun bowed, cupped his fists, and addressed the prefect with righteous indignation and confidence. "Your Excellency, this case is not as simple as we thought. According to the Crown Prince's testimony, these two bullies severely injured the two stall owners. One has gone mad, and the other has two broken ribs and remains in a coma."
