Chapter 1140: A Replaced Life(1/2)

As he said that, Qi Wang's face showed a strong bitterness. He raised his hand and wiped his face, and whispered: "Sir, can you let my mother go?"

Qi Wang said it with sincerity, even the deaf could hear the earnest meaning in his tone.

"They were right. Although my mother changed me to a farmhouse and asked me to be a farm boy for twenty years, my mother didn't kill me and gave me some food and asked me to help in the kitchen of the restaurant. She was already very nice to me. I can't watch her beheaded so cold-bloodedly. Sir, can you let my mother go?"

Qi Baotian and Qi Dazhu didn't hear anything wrong. Seeing that Qi Wang finally pleaded for mercy, they immediately turned their eyes and looked at the county magistrate. However, they couldn't say anything when they took the power of the county magistrate.

Qi Qingfeng is not as simple as the two of them. He always feels that Qi Wang's words are a bit strange, but when he thinks about it carefully, he feels that he is thinking too much.

My second brother had never read a book, and he didn't know a single big word. He could see the truth at a glance. He shouldn't have any conspiracy. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.

When the county magistrate heard this, he sighed and said warmly: "It is a good thing for you to be filial, but the state-owned legal families have family rules. Wang Zhaodi's actions violated the law. Even if you plead for her, it will be useless. The majesty of the law cannot be violated. Only by allowing criminals to be punished can they intimidate others and prevent them from committing it again."

As he said that, the county magistrate patted Qi Wang's shoulder and his voice softened: "Your filial piety is commendable, but I cannot agree to you. If you set a precedent and others follow suit, how should I manage this huge Lishui County?"

Qi Wang's emotions were visible to the naked eye. His head blew down, and a strong sense of bleakness emanated from his body: "I understand, Lord Xie."

The county magistrate didn't say anything, but turned around and looked around. Although he had never said anything, the momentum emitted by him who had been in a high position for a long time was far beyond the reach of a very affordable person. When the county magistrate stared at him, the onlookers felt a strange feeling in their hearts. They took a step back together, and the vacant position became larger.

"My fellow villagers, I know that you are all kind, but this kindness should not be used. I hope that through this matter, you will understand something that no one should be lucky. You must know that the net of heaven is vast and not missed, and the sins committed will be exposed one day sooner or later. When the criminal is waited, it will inevitably be severe punishment of the law."

The powerful words of the county magistrate fell into the ears of everyone present, penetrated into their hearts, and put a deep mark on their hearts. Everyone realized more and more clearly that people cannot do bad things, and those who do bad things will definitely be punished.

Just like Wang Zhaodi, twenty years have passed since the matter was peaceful before, but once the incident happened, she immediately went to jail. Even the Prime Minister's son failed to plead for her, so she was sentenced to death by Qiuhou.

From this we can see that you can’t commit any crime, and once you commit a crime, you can’t escape no matter how you escape.

The county magistrate's words are equivalent to completely making the final conclusion of this case. The people thought, if the person who committed the crime only asked for mercy and could release it, who would still have awe in the future? Wouldn't those criminals be even more courageous?

There is never any empathy in this world. When things are not related to oneself, they can stand on the moral high ground and help condemn them together, but when it is related to themselves, they will collectively lose their voices and will not say anything.

However, this result was unacceptable to the Qi family, especially Qi Qingfeng, who went through a lot of hardships and finally passed the exam for a scholar. If his mother was really beheaded, his life would be over.

Impulsively, Qi Qingfeng rushed over, his knees softened, and he knelt in front of the county magistrate. He looked up at the county magistrate and said anxiously: "I hope the county magistrate will be kind. Although Xiaosheng's mother has changed two children, she was also confused back then. She knew that she had made a mistake over the years. She also asked the county magistrate to be kind and let Xiaosheng's mother have a way out..."

The county magistrate's eyes fell on Qi Qingfeng. Seeing him dressed as a scholar, he knew that this was Qi Qingfeng, the third son of the Qi family. He had some impression of this person. He remembered that he had good grades in the countryside examination. Although he was not the head of the case, he did a very outstanding article. He gave him ten taels of silver as a commendation because of his talent.

This person's article is good. Although his handwriting has never reached the style of everyone, he has already gained his own character. The county magistrate had a good impression of him before. However, this time, he pleaded for his mother one after another, and his previous act of using friendship to force Qi Wang to forgive Wang Zhaodi, the county magistrate evild Qi Qingfeng.

As a scholar, he thought he also had some understanding of the law, so he should know what the crime of trafficking children was. If he was really upright, he should destroy his relatives for justice, rather than relying on those love to kidnap the victim.

The county magistrate can still have a good face to other people. After all, the people are ignorant and don’t know much about the law. However, Qi Qingfeng is different. As a scholar, he should be well-read in poetry and books and knows clearly how the law treats criminals, but he ignores it. If he really makes him an official, he will be a person who is favoritism and abuses the law.

The county magistrate's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he wanted to see through Qi Qingfeng. He asked coldly: "Are you questioning my verdict?"

Qi Qingfeng's body trembled and said with a pale face: "Xiaosheng dare not..."

A sarcastic look flashed in the county magistrate's eyes, and his voice became more and more indifferent: "I remember that the law of this dynasty stipulates that if a direct relative commits a serious crime, he should be eliminated. You are a scholar, and your mother commits a serious crime. Your scholar's fame cannot be preserved. I will turn around and remove your resonance."

The thing he was most afraid of happened. Qi Qingfeng's legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground.

After working hard for so many years, he could not even save the fame that he had finally passed. What's even more terrifying is that from now on, he will no longer be able to embark on this road. The original bright future is now dark and his life is ruined.

Qi Qingfeng sat there blankly, and before he knew it, tears had already crawled over his cheeks.

Although Qi Baotian and Qi Dazhu on the other side were not as desperate as Qi Qingfeng, the situation was not much better.

Their Qi family is completely finished. With a family member who has been beheaded, their family will probably not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.

After thinking of this, Qi Baotian could no longer support his body. He let out a painful whine from his mouth, and he fell to the ground softly. Then he opened his mouth and started to cry.

Qi Dazhu felt lighter, but at this moment his face was filled with a strong look of confusion. Thinking of the confused future, his heart became twisted.

Qi Wang didn't say anything. No matter what he said in his current identity, he just needed to look sad and sad, and other people would not blame him too much.

The case has been tried, and Wang Zhaodi and Wang Dabao were taken down by the yamen runners. There is no case to be tried today. The county magistrate took Qi Wang back to the backyard of the county yamen. With the county magistrate accompanied him, the people from the Qi family dared not act evil again. Qi Wang returned to the backyard smoothly.

Lin Qinshuang had already asked her subordinates to pack her luggage. When the case was over, she would take Qi Wang back to the capital. Although she was not in front of the county magistrate just now, she asked Madam Xu to take a look. Knowing that the culprit was sentenced to Qiuhou's death, Lin Qinshuang finally felt better.

In addition, Madam Xu also told Lin Qinshuang something.

"I saw Wang Zhaodi's children. One of the scholars who passed the exam looked very similar to the one in the mansion. If I didn't know, I would probably think they were twins."

After knowing this, the little doubt finally disappeared. It may be a coincidence that Qi Wang looked similar to their family, but it would not be coincidental that the one in their family looked similar to the one in the Qi family. This only means that the two children were indeed replaced.

This time Lin Qinshuang brought a lot of people and packed her luggage very quickly. When Qi Wang came back, she had almost finished packing her things.

After the county magistrate sent Qi Wang back, he did not stop for too long. After asking for advice, he left directly. Although the Prime Minister's wife was a woman, she was not staying with her for a long time.

When Lin Qinshuang saw Qi Wang coming back, she immediately waved to him and signaled him to come and sit down.

Qi Wang walked over obediently and sat down in front of Lin Qinshuang. Lin Qinshuang looked at him carefully. Seeing that he was in a good mood, she felt relieved.

"Aqi, I have already asked someone to pack up. We will go back to the capital tomorrow. What do you think?"

Qi Wang nodded and said, "Yes."

Whether he or the original owner who knew the truth, he had no nostalgia for this small county town. The original owner died on the way to the capital and never returned to his real home in his entire life.

This time, Qi Wang will realize his dream for him and let him live with his true identity.

Lin Qinshuang pulled Qi Wang and said for a while, then sent him back to rest.

Qi Wang didn't say much and went back to the room obediently, but within a short while, someone knocked on the door. Qi Wang walked over and an ordinary-looking yamen runner appeared in front of Qi Wang.

"Mr. Qi, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He said he is your former younger brother."

His former younger brother was Qi Qingfeng alone, and the person outside was Qi Qingfeng.

Because Wang Zhaodi was deprived of her reputation as a scholar after committing the case, she could no longer participate in the imperial examinations from now on. This was more uncomfortable than killing Qi Qingfeng. He could not find anyone else to help him, and naturally only Qi Wang could use it.

"Okay, I'll go see him."

Qi Wang agreed and followed the yamen runner to leave the yamen.

In an alley behind the county yamen, Qi Qingfeng was waiting there with an anxious face. He spent five taels of silver to bribe the yamen runners just to ask Qi Wang to come out and meet him.

If he had other ways, Qi Qingfeng was unwilling to ask Qi Wang for help. He went to Xiang Ziao, thinking that he was the most powerful existence in his family, and that his family's future was all about him, and everyone had to live on him, so he always was arrogant and believed that everything his family should give to him was worthy of.

But who would have thought that Qi Wang could one day become the son of an official?

When he thought of this, Qi Qingfeng's jealousy kept eating his heart. He wished that the child who was replaced was himself, so that he could become the son of the prime minister and live a good life that he could not live for many years without hard work.

I worked hard for many years and studied hard before I passed the scholarship, but everything about him was ruined.

Thinking of this, Qi Qingfeng felt even more hatred, but he could not express his hatred. He had nothing now, and the only thing he could rely on was Qi Wang. If he could help to make peace, and if he felt that he was owed to him, his fame might be able to be preserved.

He had obviously not been waiting for a long time, but Qi Qingfeng felt that time seemed to be infinitely stretched. He was anxious and all kinds of speculations began to emerge in his mind.

What if Qi Wang doesn’t come? What if he doesn’t agree with his request?

As soon as these thoughts came out, he suppressed them himself.

No, Qi Wang is not that kind of person. Although he looks down on him very much, he values ​​feelings the most, and he just pleaded for Wang Zhaodi. This matter was just a small task for him. He could even forgive Wang Zhaodi. He had never offended him, so he should have helped him.

"Three pillars."

Just as Qi Qingfeng was in a hurry and kept spinning around the place, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. After hearing this sentence, a hint of joy appeared on Qi Qingfeng's face. He didn't care about the unpleasant Sanzhu and hurriedly turned around and looked over.

"Second brother!"

Qi Qingfeng had never called Qi Wang's second brother so affectionately. At this time, he looked extremely excited. He came to Qi Wang step by step and said anxiously: "Second brother, now you can only help me. Please help me, okay? You also know how hard it is for me to study. I have suffered countless hardships over the years to achieve my current fame and fortune. Please help me, don't let the county magistrate remove my fame and fortune."

He looked at Qi Wang with a earnest face, and a hint of humility appeared in his eyebrows.

Qi Wang looked at Qi Qingfeng like this and said nothing.

In the past, most of Qi Qingfeng's flower use was earned by the original owner. The original owner treated this younger brother with heart and no regrets. He would leave any good things to him. Later, he went to the capital to take the exam, and the original owner immediately quit his job and was willing to be a little book boy.

However, Qi Qingfeng never looked down on the original owner. Before he knew the original owner's true identity, Qi Qingfeng looked down on the second brother who was a helper and thought he was extremely humble. After knowing his true identity, Qi Qingfeng was afraid that his identity would be exposed and causing unnecessary trouble, so he simply caused an accident and killed the original owner.

It was such a person who ended up having a good end in the original plot...

Thinking of the man who was always arrogant in the original owner's memory, and looking at Qi Qingfeng, who now has a humble face, it would be hard to imagine that he could still show such a look at Qi Erzhu, a man he has never looked down upon.

Qi Qingfeng quickly finished his request, and then he looked at Qi Wang eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Facing the hopeful eyes opposite, as if his bright future was all in Qi Wang's thoughts, Qi Wang suddenly laughed.

"Qi Sanzhu, why do you think I will help you?"

A sarcastic voice rang in Qi Qingfeng's ears. He looked at Qi Wang in disbelief, as if he could not believe what he had heard.

How could he speak to himself in this tone?

However, Qi Wang's ridicule swept over like a tide, and Qi Qingfeng, who was facing Qi Wang's ridicule, almost suffocated.

"Just relying on the disgusting things your mother and you did, you should thank God if I don't take revenge. Do you actually ask me to come to you because you disliked yourself for not dying fast enough?"

"Qi Sanzhu, why don't you speak and no longer respond? Is it because I have no confidence? Or do I think this name is not humble now? If you really have backbone, what should you ask me to do?"

"Do you think I am a fool? You forced me so hard outside the court before, wanting me to help you that sinful mother, but now you turn around and ask me to help you. Why are you? Are you so arrogant?"

"Do you know how you landed in this field? I did it."

Looking at Qi Qingfeng who was changing color, Qi Wang curled the corner of his mouth and showed a malicious smile on his face.

"I asked someone to pretend to be a Taoist priest to deceive Wang Dabao, so he went to the county government to sue your mother. My family's land in this kind of land today was all caused by me."

Qi Qingfeng looked at Qi Wang with shock, blurted out: "Impossible, you are so stupid, how could it be that you did it?"

He didn't believe it, how could it be him? He was so stupid and stupid, how could he be so calculating so much?

Qi Wang seemed to think that Qi Qingfeng was not stimulating enough, so he continued: "You have always looked down on me, and I feel that I can't read a word and don't know anything. If I tell you, I know clearly that if a direct relative commits a crime, his fame will be eliminated, so I designed all this."
To be continued...
