Chapter 39: Execution!
The master who defended the Shi family was surnamed Zhao, and he was also an old gentleman who had accumulated years of experience in handling affairs. After studying the case, he put forward a very important point, that is, whether Master Hu's injury was caused by a fall when he fell off the horse, or was it an injury made by improper treatment?
This coincides with Nianfu's thinking.
The spinal nerves of the human spine are the most complex, just like the person in a car accident cannot be moved at will, otherwise it is very easy to cause secondary injury. As long as it can be proved that Master Hu's injury was caused by treatment, it is equivalent to abandoning most of Nianfu's responsibility.
But the other party's chapter master said, "Master Hu's family is quite wealthy, and he is injured, how can he not ask a famous doctor for treatment?" So many people can't be cured, and it is obvious that this injury is already serious. If you talk about the root cause, it is still the sister of the Mu family who smashed people first, if not, how could Master Hu fall off the horse and be injured? Since then, all these things have started because of this. Right now, please look at me, the bitter master, who was originally in the prime of life and the pillar of the family, but now he has to linger on the sickbed, and he needs to be supported when he sits and sleeps. There is no one to support the elders in the family, and no one to discipline the children. ”
This performance, which can almost be called tearful, brought down the tears of some elderly people, and the eyes that looked at Hui Niang's mother and daughter were even more unkind, and some people even jumped out and said, "I am so ruthless at a young age, and I don't want to repent when I get into trouble, but I try to find a reason to excuse myself, and it is not enough to be angry if I don't punish him heavily!"
"Yes, hit the board, hit her board!"
Seeing that the people around him who didn't know the truth were successfully instigated, the chapter master glanced at Nianfu with a little pride, and was more confident about winning the lawsuit.
Vile! Actually hire a water army? Nianfu hated so much that his teeth were about to bleed, and he never imagined that there were such filthy people in this era. No wonder Master Hu honestly pretended to be a quail as soon as he came, just to make a pitiful appearance and gain sympathy, right? But if he really wants to succeed, what will their mother and daughter do?
Nianfu was secretly ruthless, pinched himself with the tip of his fingernail, and the tears fell on the spot. She pretended to be scared, and hid behind Hui Niang vigorously, "Mother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" Grandma, grandpa, I'm scared! ”
Her crying frightened Hui Niang and the family, "Good boy, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is a mother here!" Grandpa is also here, don't be afraid, don't cry. ”
Having said that, in the end, the family's tears also fell unconsciously. Seeing the old, weak, sick and disabled family hugging and crying, it was even more pitiful than the old man Hu sitting on the side and pretending to be a quail.
At this time, I heard someone in the crowd shouting, "What kind of hero is bullying other people's orphans and widows like this?" How old is the little girl, if she wasn't frightened, how could she hit someone with a stone? They all said that the horse was shocked, why didn't they ask who raised the horse? ”
This time, he immediately brought back a lot of sympathy points for Mu's mother and daughter.
Zhao Xiangshi immediately said, "My lord, although Sister Mu smashed people with stones, she didn't knock people down, it was Master Hu's own horse that was frightened and turned him down." There is a master of injustice, and there is a master of debt, why don't you ask the sin of the Ma family, but blame the sister of the Mu family? ”
Seeing that the situation was not right, the master immediately said, "Although the horse belongs to Master Hu's family, he is a beast after all, not a human." Even if it is a human being, Master Zhao also said that Sister Mu will do something wrong if she is frightened, let alone a brute? The strength of the horse is larger than that of the person, even if there is a family leader leading the horse, what can he do if he can't pull it? ”
Nianfu was so angry that he vomited blood, such nonsense is repeated, and there are still some crooked reasons in TMD, how can people refute it?
At this time, I heard Lord Tang slap the stunned wood and conclude the case, "Although this matter was originally the fault of the bitter master, the defendant is indeed at fault." Since the bitter master was already on the horse and wanted to leave, why did you still have to work hard? It was all because you threw stones that the bitter master was seriously injured and disabled. According to the law of this dynasty, this judge now sentences you to compensate half of the medical expenses and part of the bereavement money of the sufferer, so as to punish you. As for the bitter master, if you hadn't drunk and made trouble, you wouldn't have caused trouble. Although the defendant is at fault, you have been at fault, so you also have to bear half of the responsibility for this case, and you are not allowed to do anything again after the case is concluded, can you be convinced? ”
The chapter master was relieved, although the result was not as good as he expected, but it was not bad. Secretly handed a look to Master Hu, signaled his agreement, and handed over a list of those who had been prepared early, "This is the medical expenses of the bitter lord these days, and there are many medicine hall doctors who can testify on it, please check it out with the county lord." ”
Hui Niang's mother and daughter clasped hands with each other, and their hearts were about to rise to their throats. Zhao Xiangshi also greeted them before, it is impossible to get out of this case, after all, it is impossible to leave a person without punishment. The key to this is in the medical expenses.
Master Tang handed over the list to the scribe for inspection, and read it out on the spot, "The sufferer spent a total of 287 23 yuan in medical expenses, and the defendant should bear half of it, and he must pay 143 26 yuan and 5 cents." In addition, since the sufferer has been disabled and needs to be served for the rest of his life, according to the monthly salary of 500 yuan for a subordinate, the sufferer has at least 30 years to live at this age, and the Shi family needs to pay 200 taels of silver as his bereavement funds. The above two items are required to be paid off within 10 days, otherwise you will need to be punished with assaulting people with weapons, and you will be given 20 canes in court to complete the case. ”
Father Shi's old face was white and white, but his poor family didn't even have thirteen taels, how could he make up the more than three hundred taels of silver? I had no choice but to put together an old bone and go to beat my granddaughter. So, I heard the old man ask in a trembling voice, "The grass people have no money and are willing to be punished." Dare to ask the master, can the grass people be punished on behalf of their granddaughters? ”
"No!" Nianfu knelt down with tears in his eyes, how could grandpa be beaten at such an age? "I beat people, I hit the disaster, if you really want to punish it, punish me."
"Silly boy, how can your little girl's family be punished like this? Please be gracious to the old man and let the old man go for her! ”
"No, Dad, you should let me go." Hui Niang also cried and knelt down next to her daughter, "If it weren't for protecting me, a useless mother, my daughter would not have caused such a disaster, please have mercy on the adults and let me be punished." ”
Seeing the family hugging and crying, Lord Tang couldn't bear it anymore. But he gave such a light sentence, to be honest, it was already merciful. If the sentence is to be commuted again, then there will be people who will disregard the law of the country.
But if she picks up this little girl's pants and spanks her in court, this girl's reputation for the rest of her life will be ruined. But even if he is willing to be accommodating to beat Shi Dad, this old man can't stand it at first glance? Besides, the state has national laws, and the defendant is Nianfu, so he can't just change someone to apologize for the crime in front of the public?
was embarrassed, and the chapter master suddenly said, "My lord, the bitter master feels that instead of resenting his neighbors, it is better to turn the war into a jade silk." He was crippled, and even if he had all this money, he would not be able to buy him well. So he wanted to beg the adults to exempt the Mu family's mother and daughter from the money, and only let them go to the mansion to serve him for a few months. It also lets them know how much pain the Tao has brought to the bitter master, so that they can sincerely repent. ”
There was another water army in the crowd who spoke, "What a benevolence and righteousness!" It's all hurt like this, and it's still so magnanimous. Where to find it? ”
But Nianfu's lungs are about to explode, let their mother and daughter serve this pig? Do they still want a reputation? With such benevolence and righteousness, why don't you let your wife and daughter go?
In the crowd, someone seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and spoke, "What benevolence and righteousness?" I think it's hypocrisy! You are a man in the prime of life, let your mother and daughter go to give you and urine, do you still want to be faced? In addition to your mother, wife, even your daughter is probably embarrassed to serve you like this. How much benefit did you receive from your surname Hu to speak to him so hard? ”
The people's hearts are fickle, and after hearing this, I looked at Master Hu again, and there was more disdain in my eyes.
"Silence!" Lord Tang was shocked again, and suppressed the discussion outside the court, "Since the Shi family has no money to compensate, then there is only one way to execute in court." ”
As soon as he said this, the officials on both sides immediately lifted the benches and wanted to pull Nianfu up. Of course, Daddy Shi next to her didn't let her, and Aunt Shi even went straight to the stool, "If you want to beat me, don't beat my granddaughter!" ”
Lord Tang looked unpresentable, frowned slightly, and immediately someone forced Aunt Shi down. Nian Fu pressed people to the bench, and tears flowed from hatred to the core.
The eight lambs surnamed Hu, my sister will never be finished with you in this life!
Although Lord Tang couldn't bear it, he still picked up the sticks from the stick, and was about to throw them down, when he suddenly heard someone in the crowd shouting, "Master, slow down, I am willing to pay her back!" ”
Nianfu looked back, but it was an acquaintance, the little guy Moyun beside Ouyang Kang.
He hurriedly handed over a piece of jade pendant, "Master, although I don't have any cash, this jade pendant is worth a few dollars, so I will store it here for the time being, and I will send the silver when I turn around, how about it?" ”
Master Hu saw that the errand was about to pick up Nianfu's pants, and his heart was happy, and suddenly saw someone coming to repay the money, of course he was displeased, and he didn't pretend to be a quail for the first time, he spoke up, "Who are you?" Why should I pay her back? Could it be that you have an affair with this girl? ”
"You! You ......" Mo Yun has always been clumsy, and when he told people like this, his face was red, and his heart was angry, but he couldn't speak.
"What are you? Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with her? Then why did you have to pay back the money for her? ”
Mo Yun was so anxious that he couldn't speak, if Ouyang Kang could show up, wouldn't he show up sooner? Why do you have to hide in the crowd all the time and help each other secretly? He came to listen to the trial today or secretly ran out from his family, if this is known to people, it will really be impossible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, the chapter master immediately said aggressively, "I can't even say a word clearly, how can I believe it?" In case it's a fool, who has the time to mess around with you here? Now that you have made up your mind, please do it immediately! ”
Lord Tang really couldn't help anymore this time, so he had to sign the document again, "Please retreat if you have nothing to do with it, don't delay the execution." ”
The second elder of the Shi family cried so much that he almost fainted, and Hui Niang kowtowed to Lord Tang vigorously, and soon his forehead was red and swollen, "Please ask the eldest master to be merciful and let the woman replace my daughter!" ”
Nianfu didn't speak, closing his eyes and waiting for the most humiliating scene. Although I told myself not to be afraid, the roots of my teeth were already biting out blood, and my mouth was salty and astringent. No matter how she is, she is also a girl, and what girl can stand such humiliation?
Finally, the signature landed, accompanied by the "execution!" "Two words, the official came up to pick up Nianfu's pants.
