Chapter 11 Punishment for Gifts

The next day, the long-awaited time came, and the county government finally went to court to try the case.

Lord Lei also received a notice from Sun County's order, he was very surprised, so he also went to see where he hid the big seal, and found that the big seal was still in his hand, and he felt a lot more at ease, but he couldn't understand that since the official seal was still in his hand, then Sun Zhixian would not have an official seal, but how would he judge without the official seal? The document of judgment must be stamped and printed before it can be effective, and won't it be exposed at that time?

With the mentality of asking questions and watching the excitement, Lord Lei also rushed early and arrived at the county office of Anlu County early in the morning.

"Lord Sun, it's morning, are you going to go to the court today to ask about the case?" Lord Lei greeted him with a smile, but his heart was a different kind of activity.

Looking at Lei Xiancheng with a fat face, Sun Zhixian was disgusted in his heart, this villain who was inconsistent on the outside and hidden in his smile, he looked down on this kind of person the most, the so-called gentleman was frank, and the villain was often a relative, this villain should be scared all day long, how could he still grow so fat?

"Early, Lei County, the official is still young, and he has just arrived, so I invited Lord Lei to come over today, it is to help sit in the town, Lord Lei has been an official in Anlu County for decades, and he has rich experience, with Lord Lei here, the official will be much more at ease, and I will work hard Lord Lei today." Sun Zhixian showed a look of timidity and humility in seeking advice.

"Hehe, why talk about hard work, Lord Sun laughed, besides, who doesn't know that Lord Sun Chuanting is a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and now he is the Shuntian Mansion Cheng, Lord Sun is very strict in governing the family, as the so-called tiger father has no dogs, and there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, with the cultivation of Lord Sun, Lord Sun is also a talent among people after all, how dare ordinary people compare with Lord Sun! If there is a chance in the future, I hope that Lord Sun can say a lot of kind words in front of Lord Sun! "Lei Xiancheng looks like a pug, if it weren't for Sun Zhixian knowing the inside story, he would really deceive the past with this face, he is really a person who has been mixed with officialdom for decades, Sun Daren admires Lord Lei's thick black knowledge, and he is also extremely disgusted, he feels disgusting, although he is new to officialdom, but people like Lei Xiancheng, he really can't get used to it, he still admires people like Qin Yiming, straightforward.

"Definitely, definitely." Sun Zhixian pretended to agree, watching the fat on Lei Xiancheng's face being pulled by the corners of his mouth and jumping up and down, which looked like people couldn't help but think of a certain animal.

"Ascension!" Sun Zhixian shouted, Lei County Cheng'an sat aside, at this time he found that there was a beautiful wooden box with black paint on the case, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, because his attention was attracted by the people brought up by the officials.

A group of people were brought up.

"Bitter lord, what grievances do you have?" Lord Sun began to ask, sitting in the official hall, extremely majestic.

A fat rich gentleman dressed in a gorgeous Shu brocade robe and a silk coat knelt down with difficulty to speak.

"Meet your lord, grass people Liu Qi, sue Qin Yiming for killing my daughter!" As he spoke, Liu Qi stretched out his fat and white hand, pointing at Qin Yiming, who was standing aside with shackles.

"From the beginning!" Master Sun was shocked and said sternly, which made the hearts of everyone in the hall tremble.

Liu Qi's eyes were red with tears at this time, thinking that his poor daughter was beaten to death, he couldn't wait to slash the enemy on the spot, and replied through gritted teeth: "The grass people are Anlu squires, and they are married to the old man's family of thousands of families, and the grass people will marry the only baby daughter in the family to the second son of the Qin Mansion as his wife, but a few days ago, someone from the Qin Mansion told me that my poor daughter ...... My poor daughter actually ...... was actually beaten to death by the eldest son of their Qin family, and the grass people were not convinced, and the county government asked the eldest lord to avenge my daughter and let this murderer be punished! ”

Liu Qi cried as he spoke, tears fell, very miserable! The crowd of onlookers outside all whispered at this time, and they were very sympathetic to Liu Yuanwai's plight.

"What evidence do you have?" Master Sun asked.

"There is a maid from the Qin Mansion as proof!" Liu Qi pointed to a maid beside him, who was a member of the Qin family, who was already kneeling next to Liu Qi at this time, waiting for interrogation.

"Are you the maidservant? Tell me what's going on? Master Sun asked.

"The slave and maid are exactly, the slave and the maid were cleaning outside the house at the time, and I heard someone quarreling in the eldest young master's house, and then the slave and maid went in to take a look, and saw that the second lady of my family was already dying! The slave maid was very frightened, so she reported it to the old lady, and the old lady let the old lady inform the old man of the Liu family. The servant girl said, her eyes twinkling.

Sun Zhixian said sternly at this time: "Witnesses, according to my Ming law, do you know that false accusations are to sit back, if what you say is not the truth, don't blame the official at that time." ”

The servant girl immediately trembled with fear, buried her head deeply, remained silent, and grasped her pants with her fingers.

"Don't panic, just tell the truth." Lord Lei interjected, Lei Xiancheng knew that many people couldn't stand the bluffing of the people in the county government, and many people were frightened when they saw the old man, he was afraid that the maid would be exposed and give up all his efforts, so he made a sound, and sure enough, the maid heard Lord Lei speak, and her heart was a lot quieter, and she continued: "The slave knows that the slave and the maid are all about it.... The truth, the eldest young master drank too much wine that day, and somehow the second lady quarreled with the eldest young master, and I also heard the second lady scolding the eldest young master..."

"What is it? Look up and talk back. Master Sun shouted, slapping the table heavily, his sword eyebrows stood tall, and his eyes were vicious.

"Yes..... Scolding the eldest young master for being a beast or something like that, I only heard the second woman scolding the eldest young master: You brute. The eldest young master was angry, so he killed the second lady! The maidservant girl spoke intermittently, her face full of fear, she had never seen such a battle, and the majesty of the great lord in the hall was enough to frighten her little courage.

At this time, the onlookers sighed for a while, and everyone disagreed with the behavior of the little lady of the Liu family, how could she insult her eldest brother when she entered the Qin Mansion as a daughter-in-law? It's rude, and some people even shouted directly, should be hit or something.

"You heard the head of the house arguing, why didn't you invite your old lady, but kept eavesdropping on the side and let things worse?" Master Sun asked angrily.

The maid trembled again, isn't it, she just followed Mrs. Qin's order, she had been eavesdropping and waiting outside, she thought about it and said: "The matter of the head of the family, how dare I eavesdrop casually, the slave maid just heard the second lady insulting there from a distance, and I didn't expect to make a fuss, but then there was no movement, and the maid went in to take a look, and found that the second lady was no longer good." ”

Hmph, you accomplice! Sun Zhixian was disgusted in his heart, this kind of dirty things in the family house were all carried out by these subordinates.

"Qin Yiming, this official asks you, what your maid said is the truth? Think about it. Sun Zhixian turned around and asked, he was afraid that Brother Qin would say the wrong thing, so he specially reminded him.

Qin Yiming looked at the servant girl at this time and said loudly: "Master Sun, this handmaid is lying? ”

The crowd outside the door immediately became noisy.

"My lord, no, what I said is true!" The servant girl immediately pleaded that she knew that the crime of lying was confirmed, and she was not sure that she would be guilty of it.

"Quiet, Qin Yiming, you make it clear, how did she lie?" Master Sun asked.

"What the maid said is basically the truth, but the little lady of the Liu family didn't scold me for being a brute!"

"Didn't scold you? Who is that scolding? ”

"Then the little lady of the Liu family scolded me for being born of a brute! She scolded my mother who died in order to give birth to me, and scolded my father who died on the battlefield for the imperial court! My father has already sacrificed his life for the country by fighting the Tartars in Datong, how can I allow others to insult my parents like this! Qin Yiming said loudly, with righteous words on his face, but he thought in his heart: Daddy and Mom, we haven't met, take advantage of you, don't come to me at night, after all, I am also your son now, and Dad, my son will avenge you in the future, you have to bless your son to get through smoothly!

When Qin Yiming said this, everyone's faces changed color, the people outside the door were fried, Lord Lei's face also changed imperceptibly, and that Liu Qi was even more blue on his face, no different from a dead pig's liver.

"No, no!" The trembling maid continued to quibble, but her timid voice was muffled by the scolding of the angry crowd outside the door.

"Damn, the little lady of the Liu family is rebellious!"

"Hey, unfilial! Qin Qianhu died fighting for the country, he was a great hero, how could he be insulted like this, it was really unbelievable. ”

"Hmph, I said it's good to be killed, this kind of person deserves to die!"

Seeing the change in the faces of the people in the hall, and seeing the angry onlookers outside the door, Qin Yiming, who was later in the world, was surprised by the difference!

I'll go, this daughter-in-law scolded her in-laws, is the consequence so serious, looking at the masses who are full of righteous indignation, want to kill people with knives, and eliminate harm for the people, Qin Yiming doesn't know how to express his feelings, after all, he is a latecomer, and he can't understand the so-called filial piety in this era, filial piety at this time is not only a moral requirement, but a legal requirement.

"Quiet, all quiet, filial piety first, my Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, from the Hongwu year, are all filial piety to govern the country, today there is a woman Liu, insulting her in-laws, vulgar language, the crime is extremely evil, heaven does not tolerate, according to my Ming law, his crime should be punished, and now he was beaten to death by the eldest prince of the Qin Mansion is also a matter of course, therefore, this official sentence, Qin Yiming is not guilty, and he is acquitted in court!"

There was a startling sound, and the sound of applause outside the door was like thunder.

After the applause, more people praised Qin Yiming.

"Great filial son, Qin Lao Qianhu is blessed!"

"Yes, a rare filial son, in order to protect his parents, he does not hesitate to go to prison."

“......”

That's it? I'm alright? Qin Yiming was at a loss in his heart, even the big cow had already come over to help, and he didn't have an idea.

If you give a courtesy, you will be punished, Qin Yiming finally understands now.
