Chapter 196: Receiving
After the verdict was announced, Liu Yong took a piece of judgment and went to Qingshen County with Su Erniang, Lin Hualang and the four little guys. When I arrived at the county seat, I went directly to the county government and presented the documents to the magistrate.
After reading it, Zhixian frowned a little.
"This, this sentence is too severe!" He couldn't help but say it.
"Why, is your lord questioning the verdict of Lord Zhizhou?" Liu Yong asked.
The magistrate blushed and said with a sneer: "Oh, no, no, the lower officials dare to question Lord Zhizhou." This verdict is in line with our Great Song Dynasty criminal law. ”
Liu Yong sighed and said, "Lord Zhixian, in fact, I didn't expect the motor to be sentenced to death. I didn't expect the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty to be so strict! What he said was from his heart, if it is put in the modern era of later generations, a crime like a motor will be sentenced to several decades at most, and then a fine will be imposed to compensate the victim's economic losses. In this way, it is necessary to prove the death of his brother, and how much responsibility Ma Da bears in the end.
In fact, Liu Yong also knows that although the motor is responsible for his brother's death, he is not fully responsible, because his brother's body has already reached the point where he will finish speaking. Mada's conspiracy only hastened the process of his death.
The magistrate smiled and said, "Liu Daguan, it seems that you don't know much about the criminal laws of my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Only then did Liu Yong remember that what he said was a little out of the blue, as if he was not from the Great Song Dynasty.
"Oh, I've been sleeping for a few years, and I can't remember anything when I wake up." He had to explain it this way.
Zhixian nodded, sighed, and said slowly: "The criminal laws of our Great Song Dynasty are indeed strict. Nothing else, there is one article, whoever steals more than fifty times will be hanged. ”
Just this one, Liu Yong was terrified when he heard it. Fifty times to be hanged, it is indeed harsh.
"Therefore, there is nothing excessive about the judgment of Lord Zhizhou on the motor. However, if the criminal is willing to compensate with a huge financial amount, this capital crime may be avoided. But now, Ma Ma has been sentenced to beheading, but his family property still has to be compensated to your Liu family. Zhixian said slowly, and he still didn't seem to be very satisfied with the punishment.
"Actually, it's not much at all, Lord Zhixian, do you think, am I Liu Yong a person who cares about money? If I had chosen, I'd rather my brother live well than a penny of his motor. Liu Yong lamented.
"Well, too, no amount of money can buy the lives of relatives!" The magistrate sighed, "However, I'm afraid there are not many valuable things left in the motor's house." ”
"Dare to ask your lord what's going on?" Liu Yong asked.
"What's the situation? Hehe, just after Mada was captured by us, her ten wives and concubines divided up all his valuable things. At present, there is only one empty house and two empty silk houses, and a restaurant has also closed. However, they can't take the property rights of these houses. In addition to the two silk houses and the restaurant, there are four other shops for rent. Liu Daguan can accept it together, this is all the family property of the motor. The magistrate said.
"Oh, that's right. Actually, I didn't want to bring his family to live in as well, but I wanted to leave it for his family. Liu Yong said.
Zhixian nodded slightly, he felt that Liu Yong was really good, even if it was an enemy, he didn't want to kill them all.
"The benevolence of Liu Daguan is really admired by the lower officials. Now the motor's house is empty. Liu Daguan should accept it. I will go and convert the title deed for you, including your Liu family's house and the 400 acres of fertile land, which will be put under your Liu Yong's name. ”
"Then there is Lord Laozhi." Liu Yong nodded.
The magistrate instructed Wu to go with the clerk, and half an hour later, Wu Absi brought the changed title deed. Give it to Liu Yong to see.
Liu Yong flipped through it, and there was a two-way house with a motor, six shops on the street, and one restaurant. There is also a Sanjin mansion of the Liu family located in Hekou Village, with 400 acres of first-class fertile land.
"Liu Daguan, right?" The magistrate asked with a smile.
Liu Yong nodded, arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhixian." In the future, people will be sent to take over these inheritances. ”
"Well, these are all your Liu Daguan's, how to deal with it, Liu Daguan's words. These industries are worth a lot, to say the least! can get such a rich compensation for the Liu family, and your brother can also smile Jiuquan, hehe. The magistrate stroked his mustache and smiled.
"But I'd rather my brother live!" Liu Yong sighed.
"That's, that's." The magistrate felt that he had made a lot of mistakes, so he hurriedly changed his mouth and said to Liu Yong.
"My lord, I will set up wine in the restaurant at noon to thank you for your hard work." Liu Yonggong said.
"Hey, I can't talk about hard work, Liu Daguan has just taken over the motor industry, and things are riddled with things, so I think I'll talk about it later." The magistrate was polite.
"Please enjoy it!" Liu Yong insisted.
"That's good, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders." Zhixian said with a smile.
"It's in my restaurant, adults should know the place." Liu Yong said with a smile.
"Know, know, Lion Tower!" Zhixian said with a smile.
Liu Yong was stunned for a moment and asked, "The restaurant opened by the motor is also called the Lion Building?" ”
Zhixian nodded and asked rhetorically: "Why, Liu Daguan still knows that there are other lion towers?" ”
Liu Yong wanted to say that there was one in Yanggu County in the Northern Song Dynasty, but after thinking about it, it was now the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was not interesting to mention this stubble, so he had to smile and say: "No, it's just that the name sounds a little domineering." ”
"Yes, the motor is also a domineering person in Qingshen County, but I didn't expect to lose to his insatiable greed." Zhixian sighed.
"Then, I will wait for the adults in the Lion Tower, and please call Wu Zhisi and other people in charge of the yamen by the way." Liu Yong arched his hand again.
"Okay, the lower officials must call them."
Liu Yongbai said goodbye to the county, took a few points of the title deed, and went directly to the inn to find Li Xinniang and Yun'er, and told them about the situation. After learning that the motor was sentenced to death and that all his family property was handed over to Liu Yong as compensation, the two of them clapped happily. Liu Yong hurriedly instructed Lin Hualang to take a few small servants to take over the motor industry.
He himself wanted to take Li Xinniang and Yun'er to Hekou Village to see the house where he had lived for 20 years. As soon as they heard the word "go home", Li Xinniang and Yun'er burst into tears of excitement. They never thought that they would be able to go home and see it again in this life.
Yingying jumped happily, impatiently holding Liu Yong's hand and about to leave.
"Look at your child, let go of your uncle." Li Xinniang said lovingly.
"Is Yingying homesick!" Yingying's deflated little mouth.
Liu Yong asked one of the two servants who stayed behind to hire a carriage. Li Xinniang, Yun'er and Yingying rode in the car, he and Su Erniang rode horses, and the two little guys followed on foot, targeting Hekou Village in the south of the county seat.
