Chu Qiangzhi didn't have any sympathy for Shang Wenbin, let alone because Shang Wenbin had his tongue cut out, so he reduced his guilt, he thought that the reason why Shang Wenbin suffered these pains, including that he couldn't speak anymore, was Shang Wenbin's own fault, he thought so, and said it in court.

Regarding Chu Qiangzhi's view, Li Rizhi agrees, everything is one yard, especially when the case is judged, you can't add too many personal feelings, of course, it is impossible to have no feelings, but you can't reduce the punishment of Shang Wenbin because he was injured.

Chu Qiangzhi announced the verdict that Shang Wenbin and the murdered woman Wang Yanxue belonged to "rape", that is, adultery, because Wang Yanxue was a married woman, so Shang Wenbin's guilt was heavier, with a hundred rods and two years in prison, and because of Shang Wenbin's negligence, Wang Yanxue's death was caused by Shang Wenbin, so the crime was added to the first degree.

And Shang Wenbin raped Liu Xiuya again, so Shang Wenbin was sentenced to two years in prison with a cane of one hundred and fifty, because Liu Xiuya was also a married woman, so the crime was increased by one degree.

Because the Tang Law in this era has just been formulated by the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and the "Tang Law Shuyi" has just been popularized in the government, there are many cases that have not yet happened and cannot be used for reference, so the crime is increased by one degree, and the punishment is increased.

Chu Qiangzhi hated Shang Wenbin, so he increased the punishment, five hundred rods, and six years in prison, of course, his sentence still has to be reported to the Criminal Department, if it is just a weathering case, then he is the final trial, but because it involves Wang Yanxue's death, it has to be verified by the Criminal Department, in fact, it is a formality, and the original sentence will basically be maintained.

Li Rizhi glanced at Shang Wenbin, this guy can be regarded as self-inflicted, five hundred rods, if he really starts the board, let alone five hundred, even fifty can kill people, but his family has money, this cane five hundred may be paid a fine, Chu Qiangzhi did not say that he could not pay a fine, so it can still be operated here, but the six-year prison sentence is estimated to be impossible to commute, but if Aunt Shang is willing to spend money, Shang Wenbin can still live more comfortably inside.

If you want to say pitiful, if you want to say that you are worthy of sympathy, it is not Shang Wenbin who was cut off, but his mother Aunt Shang, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, if there is a substitute for her son to suffer, then it is estimated that Aunt Shang will not hesitate to suffer, however, if she was not so spoiled by Shang Wenbin at the beginning, but strictly disciplined, then, maybe a lot of things would not have happened.

Chu Qiangzhi waved his hand and asked the officials to escort Shang Wenbin back to the prison, and after that, he sat blankly behind the big case for a while, probably thinking about his own affairs!

After a while, Chu Qiangzhi sighed and asked the officials to notify the county to come over, in fact, the officials had already notified the county officials, and the county had already come, but they didn't come out, there was such a big event in the county, the county order must be eaten, and the county had to avoid suspicion at this time, if he jumped out at this time, wouldn't it be too embarrassing, he was thinking about grabbing power, and the county order couldn't be angry, so the county didn't dare to come out, and he would only show up when the county order called him, which can be regarded as respecting Chu Qiangzhi!

Chu Qiangzhi saw that the county was coming, so he said: "I am guilty now, there is such a big case of the Liu family father and son in the county, and I have failed to investigate, so I plan to go to Chang'an to ask for guilt, and I will also escort Deng Ao and the Liu family father and son into Beijing, and the affairs in the county will be entrusted to the virtuous brother!" ”

The county man hurriedly said: "Brother Chu, don't say that, you can't blame you for the case of the Liu family's father and son, I heard that they hurt all passing foreigners, and those who didn't report the case, we naturally can't investigate it, and no matter what, catching Deng Ao is a credit in itself, and when the court is employing people, it will not blame Brother Chu." ”

Chu Qiangzhi sighed and said, "Even if the imperial court won't blame, I'm ashamed!" "From the perspective of being an official, Chu Qiangzhi is quite disciplined.

The county Cheng had no choice but to comfort him again, but what Chu Qiangzhi had decided would not change, he decided to personally escort the prisoners into Chang'an, and the affairs of the county would be handed over to the county Cheng.

After explaining the matter, Chu Qiangzhi came out of the lobby, and when he saw that Li Rizhi and they were still waiting outside the hall, he smiled and said: "I was in a trance just now, but I forgot your credit, don't say that you helped catch Deng Ao, and also caught the father and son of the Liu family, just by virtue of Shang Wenbin's case, I didn't make a big mistake, this is very worthy of commendation, about the bounty, I Huayin County can pay it in advance, and I will also write a letter to the palace, saying that you will know to the nobles, so that after you enter Beijing, I can't help with the exam, but on the investment bank paper, You can still borrow a little bit of strength! ”

Li Rizhi sighed and said, "Is the county zun going to write a letter to the palace, is it in the palace?" ”

Chu Qiangzhi nodded and said: "In the palace, I have people I know, which is beneficial to your investment bank, let's talk about this tomorrow, go back tonight and have a good rest, if you want, then tomorrow ...... Well, let's go together the day after tomorrow, just by the way, we will enter Beijing together, because it will take time to build a wooden cage prisoner car, and I am afraid it will be too late tomorrow. ”

Of course, Li Rizhi is willing to go to Beijing with Chu Qiangzhi, after all, if there are people in the officialdom to take care of it, this kind of convenience is still needed, and as for visiting Huashan, he can only go later.

Chu Qiangzhi said that when he escorted the prisoner car to Beijing, he would call Li Rizhi, and Li Rizhi returned to the inn.

On the way, Chen Yingying said: "Rizhi, you said that Chu County ordered the judgment of the case, is the judgment correct?" He's been wrong once! ”

Li Ri knew: "From the perspective of the law, the basis of his sentence is correct, but now that my Datang law has been decided, there are many times it depends on what the specific situation is, sometimes it may be the same case, but because the situation is different, the punishment will be different." ”

Fu Guibao said: "Big brother, do you think that in fact, if you have money, then you are not afraid of being sentenced, there is no way to do it like imprisonment, but if you hit the board, if you are poor, won't the five hundred boards be beaten, then you will be beaten to death, but if you are rich, you will not be beaten if you spend money to buy the servants, or pay a fine to offset the board." ”

Li Rizhi thought for a while and said: "The board won't be finished in a day, so can't you just beat Shang Wenbin into meat stuffing, and you may pay a fine, Aunt Shang can afford to spend this money." However, Xiaojie is right, I am afraid that rich people will take advantage of it in the future, but what is not in this world where rich people take advantage! ”

"That's why I just love this world!" Fu Guibao said proudly, he is a rich man, of course he is very comfortable in such a world.

Several people returned to the inn, each went back to the room to rest, and waited until noon the next day, they got up one after another, Li Rizhi found Quan Shufang, and told the story of solving the case, Quan Shufang was surprised, he originally thought that Shang Wenbin's case was like that, Shang Wenbin may be the murderer, but he didn't expect that it was so complicated, he found out the father and son of the Liu family, and there was a nationally wanted fugitive Deng Ao!

Quan Shufang wanted to cry, if he had known this, then he would have followed Li Rizhi and them together, wouldn't he be able to make great contributions, not only to show his face, but also to get a large reward, eight thousand yuan, it is an unimaginable huge wealth.

When the scholars heard the news, they all came over to inquire, and Fu Guibao said it again, especially when he pretended to be a Taoist priest and deceived Liu Xiuya, it was even more detailed, and he said that he was extremely heroic, and he was completely a little expert in solving cases, and the scholars were dumbfounded when they heard it, and even admired it!

Some scholars asked, "That Deng Ao, is it really worth eight thousand?" How much does 8,000 guan have to be, if it's piled on the ground, I'm afraid it's going to be a hill, and I'll have to load several cars, right? ”

Li Ri knew: "The bounty from the government is not so high, it seems that it is only two hundred, and the rest of the bounty is from private individuals, it seems that it is from a very rich person, and that Deng Ao killed his child, so he has to take revenge, otherwise there would not be such a high bounty." ”

The scholars expressed their envy, who paid the bounty, it doesn't matter, the private or the government, isn't it all money in the end, I'm afraid the money is enough to buy a house in Chang'an City, if you buy some more fields, then even if you don't pass the scientific examination, you can live a comfortable life in Chang'an!

However, Li Rizhi did not say that he wanted to share the money with the scholars, the scholars had not done anything, it was wrong to give them money, and Quan Shufang could have shared a little bit, after all, it was because he was nosy, so he met Aunt Shang, but he later made a fuss about quitting, and now he has no face to ask for a share.

Eight thousand times, Quan Shufang feels pain when he thinks about it, such a large sum of money slipped away from his fingers, slipped away, slipped away, will he always think about this for the rest of his life, thinking about it every night, tossing and turning......

Li Rizhi didn't talk about the bounty anymore, he said: "Chu County Order will enter Beijing tomorrow, escort the Liu family father and son, and the wooden cage prisoner car of Deng Ao, to Chang'an to ask for guilt, but I think Chu County Order will not have any crimes, he invited me to Beijing together, I have agreed, I don't know if you are interested in entering Beijing together?" ”

said that it was classmates, in fact, Li Rizhi and them did not study together, nor did they take exams together, whether it was classmates or classmates, or even in the same year, they couldn't talk about it, everyone was just a scholar in Zhengzhou, Li Rizhi actually didn't need to take care of them, now that there are good things, asking them is enough righteousness.

The scholars listened, of course, they were willing to go with them, follow an official's convoy into Beijing, and they entered Beijing with black eyes, it was too different, not only can they talk to Chu Qiangzhi, understand the customs of Chang'an, and maybe even ask clearly, where is it better to be famous, scholars must first become famous when they enter Beijing, and they have to let the nobles of Chang'an know that they are successful, and a good opportunity cannot be missed.

Li Ri knew: "Since everyone wants to go, then we will set off tomorrow with the convoy of Chu County Order, Huayin is not far from Chang'an, even if it is a wooden cage prisoner car, it will not take a few days to get there, everyone seize the opportunity to ask Chu County Order what it is, think about it first, don't ramble nonsense, cause Chu County Commander to be unhappy, he is not expected to be in a good mood these days!" ”

The scholars even claimed that Chu Qiangzhi was going to ask for guilt, if the mood was still good, it would be strange, they each went back to the room to pack their luggage, and planned to go on the road together tomorrow, as for visiting Huashan, they could only come to Huayin in the future, fortunately, Huashan is not far from Chang'an, as long as there is free time, there is no problem to come to a special trip.

There was nothing to do all day on this day, and early the next morning, Chu Qiangzhi sent someone to find Li Rizhi and asked Li Rizhi to follow his convoy to Beijing, and the scholars all went out, followed by Li Rizhi, and went to the open space in front of the county government together.

The prison cart containing Deng Ao and the Liu family's father and son, as well as a dozen or so gangsters, stopped in a row at the door, Deng Ao was picked with tendons and tendons, and he couldn't stand, half sitting in the prisoner car, it seemed that he was almost dead!

The scholars surrounded one after another, pointing at this man-eating demon, they had all heard of Deng Ao's name, this is a man-eating beast, it turned out to look like this, in fact, it is similar to ordinary people, and it is not the appearance of three heads and six arms.
