"Uncle Dong Shi's name? Why are you here?"

Su Lin looked at Dong Huagui, who was panting with fat and breathlessness. It was really hard to imagine that he would be the biological father of his beautiful fiancée Dong Zijin. But maybe Mr. Dong is a standard handsome man after losing weight? Isn’t it said that every fat man is a potential stock? Su Lin thought of it in his heart.

"Son-in-law! Didn't I come over to congratulate you as soon as I heard that you were the leader of the case?" Dong Huagui smiled, and the flesh on his face squeezed his already small eyes into two thin slits. However, he no longer had the cold and despised attitude towards Su Lin as before, and he was so enthusiastic that he was many times more enthusiastic.

But halfway through his words, he heard his son Dong Feng’s cry for help: “Dad! Save me… Save me…”

"Feng'er...what's going on with you? Why did you make it happen?"

Only then did Dong Guihua notice that his son and Su Liu were scolded by the villagers and were covered with rotten vegetables and leaves and rotten eggs.

"Master Dong is really here in time! I ordered the young master to instigate the evil woman Su Liu to disguise her assumption and slander the head of the Su case. Moreover, your Dong family pharmacy shop actually sold the poisonous medicine like Meng Zhicao to Su Liu without reporting to the government. Master Dong also asked me to go to the county government!"

Seeing Dong Guihua rushing over, County Magistrate Li Ting sneered, "Where is your son-in-law Liu Xiucai? Why don't you come with me?"

"What is Mr. Li saying? My son-in-law Su Lin is here. Liu Xiucai is just a junior who I have acquaintance with." Dong Guihua quickly explained with a smile, "Mr. Li must be very careful! Su Lin is my future son-in-law. How could my son encourage Su Liu to frame him?"

"Hmph! Say less nonsense, and you all go back to the county government with me."

As he said that, the county magistrate Li Ting pointed to the silver hook pen and swung the Su Liu and Dong Feng. The tip of the silver hook pen immediately extended two holy power chains, locking Su Liu and Dong Feng's hands, and pulled and said, "The prisoner Dong Feng, the criminal, Su Liu, quickly follow me back to the county government. The county magistrate Xu will be tried for your crimes!"

"Ah? I can't do it! I can't do it! Son-in-law! Think of a way to talk to the county magistrate! My Dong family is the only one who can inherit the incense of my Dong family..."

Dong Huagui was anxious and begged Su Lin with a bitter face.

"Uncle Dong Shi, I can't help it now. It's him who committed his own evil. If he had known this, why would he have to be punished in the end? Let's go to the county government to take a look!" Su Lin shook his head, then pulled out the one thousand taels of silver from the silver notes in his sleeve and handed it to Dong Huagui, "There is this, the three-day deadline has arrived. Uncle Dong Shi is a betrothal of one thousand taels of silver. I, Su Lin, do what I say!"

"This... how can you make it a good son-in-law! What I said on that day was a joke, a joke, why did you take it seriously? I am close to your father, so how could this marriage not be changed, right? Put away the silver bills, and I will arrange it in a few days to let Zijin officially enter your Su family's door. It's just..."

Dong Huagui's expression is very strange now. He doesn't laugh or cry, and he said to Su Lin with a bitter face, "You can just find a way to plead with County Magistrate Li and County Magistrate Xu and let my Feng'er go! By the way, County Magistrate Li came to my mansion today and entrust me to ask you for a piece of calligraphy! If you don't write a piece of calligraphy to him, and ask for mercy on your brother-in-law?"

"This County Magistrate Li is also asking for my name? Dong Shibo, the specific sentence of sentencing and convicting is not what I say, nor is it what I say about the final sentence of Xu County Magistrate Li, it is stipulated by the law of my Wu Kingdom. Even the County Magistrate Xu must be convicted according to the law."

After saying that, Su Lin followed the county magistrate Li Ting and walked all the way to the county government. The people around him also followed along the way. Su Liu and Dong Feng were swaying and were pulled by Li Ting with the chain of holy power, as if parading in the streets.

Fengle County has not been so lively for a long time. The image of Su Liu's vicious woman was instantly deeply rooted in people's hearts. The more she spread, the more she was hated, and the people's shouts and scolds were followed.

However, along the way, Su Lin was coveting the Wenbao Silver Hook Pen in Li Ting. Su Lin has not officially obtained the position of literature yet. He has only three bricks of holy power, but he cannot even release the simplest holy power spell. He can only make simple syllable words and speak with simple syllables.

However, if you have literary treasures, the holy power and thoughts have a medium for output, you can naturally use holy power spells, or even some powerful battle poems and lyrics. I heard that Confucius was a magical artifact of spring and autumn, and wrote the words spring and autumn in one stroke. He actually wrapped seven of the top ten demon saints of the demon clan into the vortex of time in one breath and lost in the eternal endless spring and autumn illusion.

"Hey! Wenbao is made up of the essence of Confucian scholars who are at least Jinshi and above. Even County Magistrate Li's silver hook pen is just an official position given by the court. Ordinary Juren rarely owns Wenbao, so I, a little boy, am still thinking about it. After a while, I arrived at the county government and reviewed the case, I took the opportunity to ask County Magistrate Xu about visiting the Great Wall and the trial outside the pass after three days. I really don't know what the Great Wall in this world looks like. It is all made of holy bricks, so it must be very magnificent! Hehe! I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see the brick "Autumn Ci" I contributed at that time?"

Su Lin took back his thoughts and looked forward to visiting the Great Wall in three days. When he came to his senses, he had already walked to the county government office. County Magistrate Li Ting personally ordered people to beat the drum in front of the county government office. The drum sounds emitted a hint of righteousness like a halo, making the drum sound very far away.

The drums of grievances sounded, and the county magistrate was promoted to the hall.

County Magistrate Xu had just returned to the mansion and carefully framed the magnificent "Autumn Ci" sent by Su Lin and hung it in the study room for understanding at any time. But suddenly he heard the sound of drums of injustice. The seal of the county magistrate on his waist also resonated. He hurried to the county government office, ringed the awesome tree, and shouted majestic, "Go to the hall! Who beat the drum and complained about the injustice, come to the hall quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the county yamen opened, and the officers who had already been in place on both sides of the yamen shouted in unison: "Magnificent!"

County Magistrate Li Ting pressed Su Liu and Dong Feng to the hall, and signaled Su Lin and Dong Huagui to come forward, and said to Xu County Magistrate: "My magistrate is the one who beats Su Lin's drums and makes trouble for Su Lin. The two knelt down in the hall to worship the two of Su Liu and Dong Feng. The two of them conspired to frame Su Lin, the first case in this county examination, and even the Dong family pharmacy shop, selling large quantities of bans. ** Meng Zhicao did not report to the county government..."

"Bold! It's outrageous. Su Liu, as the widow of the Su family, you are disrespectful to your wife, and you are full of vicious plots. You are sentenced to five years in prison. Dong Feng, you help the evildoer and encourage Su Liu to attack Meng Zhicao in Su Linxia. All the conspiracies will be carried out and you will be sentenced to seven years in prison. There is also Dong's pharmacy shop, Dong Guihua, who sells ** Meng Zhicao without authorization, ordered the Dong's pharmacy shop to close business for half a year and cancel the import share this year."

With a slap in the fork, County Magistrate Xu widened his eyes and said sternly, "What else do you have to say?"

Except for Su Lin, the other three people were kneeling down, bent and dared not look down on County Magistrate Xu, obviously accusing the punishment for the crime.

"Since that's the case, come on! Take the Su Liu and Dong Feng into prison!"

With the order from the magistrate of Xu County, Su Liu and Dong Feng were arrested by the officers. At this time, the two knew that they were struggling. Su Liu begged for mercy at Su Lindasheng and said, "Su Lin! I know I'm wrong! Please save me, for my son Su Wen..."

Dong Feng shouted at his father: "Dad! I don't want to be in prison! Save me!"

Even if the tiger poison is not eaten, how could Dong Huagui bear to watch his only biological son withstood the jail? He quickly asked Su Lin beside him: "Son-in-law! Just save Feng'er! He is Zijin's brother, your elder brother!"

At this moment, Su Wen and Dong Zijin, who heard the news, rushed to the county government. They all saw the verdict of Xu County Magistrate Su Liu and Dong Feng. Su Wen immediately took a step forward, went to court, and knelt down to his elder brother Su Lin and said, "Brother, I know that my mother has hurt his elder brother and sister deeply, but she is my mother after all, and she is also my elder brother's stepmother. Su Wen here to ask his elder brother to save her and prevent her from prison!"

"Brother Su Lin! Please save my brother too!" Dong Zijin also looked at Su Lin with tears in her eyes and pleaded for Dong Feng.

Even his younger brother Su Wen and his fiancée Dong Zijin came to plead. Su Lin couldn't bear it when he looked at the embarrassed appearance of Su Liu and Dong Feng. He sighed in his heart, and then bowed to the Xu County Magistrate in the court and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, Su Lin has a ruthless request. Su Liu still needs to raise my ten-year-old younger brother Su Wen, and Dong Feng is the only son of the Dong family. The law is nothing more than human nature. Can you ask the county Magistrate to be sentenced to lighter, exempt them from prison, and change it to a fine of silver."

"A good law is nothing more than human kindness, Su Lin. These two men colluded and harmed you for several years, causing you to be enlightened until you were fifteen years old, and then they wanted to defame you as a serious crime of unfilial piety. If they framed you like this, would you really forgive them?"

County Magistrate Xu looked at Su Lin unexpectedly and asked meaningfully.

"The Master said: 'The way of a gentleman is just loyalty and forgiveness.', County Magistrate, since they have harmed me, it is natural that I must hold a grudge in my heart and think about revenge all the time. But when I really see that they are punished and receive more severe physical and mental retribution, I feel uneasy."

The wordless heavenly book in Su Lin's mind suddenly felt something, which was the response of the "forgive" way of people that Su Lin realized at this time, and the eight big words in "The Analects of Confucius" flashed out, "The way of a gentleman is just loyal and forgiving".

"I have been hurt once because of their harm. If the retribution they received will hurt their relatives and make my heart feel guilty, I think this is not the result of my desire to retaliate against them. When people are hurt, they always look forward to the people who hurt themselves to taste the same or even more painful one day. But I think that relying on the pleasure of seeing others' pain and making up for their own trauma is not what I want. Only if they truly regret it in their hearts and think that what they did before was wrong, can we be relieved. Otherwise, physical criminal law will breed their deeper hatred for me. Therefore, I choose to forgive them and ask the county magistrate to fulfill it!"
