Chapter 1441: Kissing and Hiding Each Other
Is Liu Hui wronged?
He Dongxu saw the old bustard's confession, watched the situation deteriorate step by step, and stood in place in distraction.
If it was just an oolong case, he could still find a glimmer of life, but now it has been confirmed that it is an unjust, false and wrongful case. This kid in the hall will definitely not let him go, not only will his personal future be stained, but the position of the prefect of Yangzhou may not be stable.
Ay!
Li Yu and Xu Yi secretly exchanged glances, but they couldn't help but sigh. No one thought that this seemingly ironclad case would be so vulnerable.
No matter what the truth of the murder case is, He Dongxu will not be able to escape this catastrophe, and he will definitely be retaliated against by Lin Haoran.
The old bustard knew that it was not the confused official He Dongxu sitting in the hall, but a sharp-eyed Lin Leigong, and the events of that night could not be hidden. She told all the stories of how she transported the body upstairs and how she blamed Zhang Wuhen after she found Chen Xiaoxiao drowned that night.
In fact, it was a coincidence that Donghua found Liu Hui, who was stealing, and happened to come over to report to her. She simply pushed the boat down the river and pushed all this to Zhang Wuhen.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, but the person Donghua saw was Zhang Wuhen's twin brother Liu Hui, and the matter finally stabbed the left deputy capital of Qincha, who happened to come to Yangzhou to inspect salt, Yu Shi Haoran.
Now, she also chooses to reveal everything in exchange for a lenient sentence.
"This is really an unjust case!"
"Huh...... Who said this was an iron case a while ago? ”
"I see that some people have taken money, and they are willing to be driven by others without conscience!"
……
As Liu Hui's grievances were effectively cleared, the people and scholars in the hall turned over the old things, and pointed the finger at the small group of people who had previously waved the flag and cheered for He Dongxu.
In the face of the continuous intentional or unintentional accusations of others, some thin-skinned scholars looked ashamed and indignant, but chose to leave here with their heads down.
Lin Haoran stopped the yacha who was about to be executed, turned his head to look at He Dongxu and asked lightly: "He Zhifu, do you still think that their brother is the murderer of Chen Xiaoxiao?" ”
But he ...... also committed perjury and deliberately shielded his brother Zhang Wuhen, thus hindering the official from tracking down the real culprit! He Dongxu didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he bit Liu Hui back.
This......
As soon as these words came out, Brother Zhang Wuhen suddenly felt deeply worried.
Lin Haoran smiled faintly, but turned his head to look at him and asked, "He Zhifu, you are the official of the seal of the first mansion, don't you even know that you have to hide in the capital?" ”
"Kiss each other and hide your head?" He Dongxu's brows furrowed slightly.
Lin Haoran didn't know if he really didn't know, or if he had just reacted, so he said loudly: "The head of the son hides his parents, his wife hides his husband, and his grandson hides his parents, don't sit." ”
Different from the laws of later generations, this era attaches great importance to filial piety, and advocates that "the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father", so it is stipulated that between the three generations of blood relatives and husband and wife, except for crimes other than rebellion and rebellion, the guilty can be covered up and concealed from each other, and not reported to the government.
The law does not pursue criminal responsibility for the behavior of accommodating crimes between relatives, so what Liu Hui did for Zhang Wuhen is actually not an illegal act.
In order to protect Zhang Wuhen, Liu Hui deliberately kept silent, but he did not break the law at all according to the current law. Don't say that Zhang Wuhen didn't kill anyone, even if Zhang Wuhen killed, it would be impossible to hold him responsible.
He Dongxu was speechless for a moment, and the whole person seemed to be uncertain, and he seemed to have thought of this layer.
Lin Haoran glanced at him, and then continued: "Although Liu Hui's previous actions were inappropriate, his behavior was really a kiss to hide each other's heads, as long as it is not a crime of rebellion, we cannot investigate his crime!" ”
Li Yu and Xu Yi glanced at He Dongxu, but secretly shook their heads. This emptiness has the courage to argue with others, but he doesn't even know that he is hiding in the capital, and in the end he will only bring humiliation on himself.
"Today, thanks to the clear understanding of the Qingtian Lord, my brother was able to be innocent, and the students are grateful!" Zhang Wuhen chose to kneel down at this time, and bowed to Lin Haoran.
"It's too early to say thank you!" Lin Haoran straightened his face, and immediately changed his words and said: "Liu Hui, although the official has now confirmed that you did not kill Chen Xiaoxiao that night, but there are human and physical evidence for burglary, can you plead guilty?" ”
"The grass people confess! But just take a string of pearls and a piece of gold, and there will be nothing else! Liu Hui was able to escape death now, so he naturally would not justify the theft, but he also reiterated it seriously.
When Lin Haoran heard this, he turned his head to look at the old bustard, and the old bustard stubbornly said, "Yes...... It was I who sent the jewels to his house in order to prove the guilt! ”
"Liu Hui, although you only took a string of pearls and a golden slurd, but you have violated the law of the country, this Ben Qin sent you to prison for ten months, can you take it?" Lin Haoran's face turned straight and asked him.
"The grass people are willing to suffer this punishment!" Liu Hui knew that this was very reasonable, so he responded without defense.
The people and scholars in the hall looked at the unkempt Liu Hui, but they wanted to intercede, but Lin Haoran's negative voice was immediately heard.
"No, you used to suffer for your brother, but now Ben Qin can't bear to let you continue to suffer!" Lin Haoran shook his head lightly, turned to look at Zhang Wuhen and asked, "Zhang Wuhen, Ben Qin sent you to prison for your brother for ten months, are you willing?" ”
Hey?
Xu Yi listened to Lin Haoran's judgment, and looked at Lin Haoran with surprise, and faintly found the reason why this person could sit in this position at such a young age.
"This time I was able to redress my grievances, all because of my brother's righteousness, and he suffered a lot for me! If I don't take this responsibility, I will be a human being, and Lord Xie Qincha will give permission! Zhang Wuhen has the spirit of a scholar, and even said loudly.
"Okay, put him in prison for ten days!"
Lin Haoran was shocked, and even ordered.
The officials on both sides stepped forward, and when they left with Zhang Wuhen, Liu Hui was happy and sad in his heart. However, the thought of walking back from the ghost gate, and his brother only closed it for ten days, did not seem to be a big deal.
It's just that Zhang Wuhen and Liu Hui were wronged, but the matter can't come to an end.
Chen Xiaoxiao died in the lotus pond of the lotus pond, and while completely cleaning Zhang Wufu and Liu Hui, it pointed to the contract for the lotus pond that night. Whether Chen Xiaoxiao drowned ordinarily was poisoned by others is still a mystery.
Lin Haoran seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and he was shocked and ordered in a deep voice: "Take a group of suspects who contracted the small building of the lotus pond that night!" ”
