When Liu Zhiyun said this, he still had anger in his heart, and said: "If I hadn't seen that bald head, Xiaomin might have asked who that person was." It was because Xiao Min knew that the bald head would definitely not be Xiao Min's father, so he slashed that person several times and hacked him to death on the spot. Xiaomin thought that if he killed the monk, Xiaomin's mother would be happy, but Xiaomin was wrong. Xiaomin's mother hugged the monk and cried bitterly and said, "Son! You shouldn't have killed your father. Xiaomin fainted at that time, his head banged as if it was about to explode, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with blood. When Xiaomin's wife came up, she saw that Xiaomin had killed her father, and she also complained, saying that Xiaomin was too reckless. Xiaomin also felt that he was really reckless, so he asked the county magistrate to treat Xiaomin for the crime of killing his father, even if he cut off his head, he didn't complain. ”

It was the first time Song Ruilong had heard of such a case, his son killed his father by mistake, no matter what the reason was, it was a capital crime, but Liu Zhiyun killed his father without knowing the truth, and he was indeed a bit unjust to be sentenced to death.

Song Ruilong said: "Then do you know why your father has no hair?"

Liu Zhiyun said: "At first, I didn't know, Xiaomin didn't even know that Xiaomin's father had returned home. Xiao Min's mother never told Xiao Min that in Xiao Min's head, Xiao Min's father had run away from home, and even had already suffered an accident, Xiao Min never thought that he would be a monk without hair. ”

Song Ruilong asked strangely: "Then did your mother tell you why your father shaved off his hair and became a monk?" ”

Liu Zhiyun said with a haggard face: "Xiaomin's father knew that he was wrong, so he told Xiaomin's mother everything when he got home. According to his father, a month ago, when he was playing on Ziyun Mountain with a fan, he inadvertently broke into the meditation nunnery on Ziyun Mountain. The nunnery is not large, there are only five houses in it, and there are exactly five nuns living in it. The nun at the head was a woman in her fifties, fair-skinned and soft-spoken. Although Xiaomin's father is not a peerless generation, he is also considered to be the most handsome among men. In addition, my father can say a few words of poetry, and I will be fascinated by the soul of the owner of the nunnery in the meditation nunnery. It was night, and my father talked with the owner of the meditation nunnery about history from life, from astronomy to geography, and there was a feeling of seeing each other late. My father also knows that men and women don't kiss each other, not to mention that the other party is still a nun who has practiced for many years, so my father doesn't have too many extravagant expectations. However, providence was so, and my father spent the night with the master of the meditation nunnery that night. ”

Rong Ruilong was a little surprised and said, "Providence is like this? What does this phrase mean? ”

Liu Zhiyun said: "It happened to rain heavily that night. My father had no choice but to stay at the Meditation Nunnery for one night. The master of the meditation nunnery and her father crossed the forbidden land, and after the clouds and rain, she wanted to occupy her father for a long time. The master of the nunnery called all four of her disciples to her father's room, forcibly shaved his hair, burned the ring scars, and completely turned his father into a monk. In order to allow her father to stay in the nunnery for a long time, the master of the meditation nunnery also let her four disciples also serve her father. In the first half month, my father could bear it, but after a month, my father had back pain and couldn't walk steadily. My father was tired of that kind of life and decided to leave the meditation nunnery. The master of the meditation nunnery knew that the twisted melon was not sweet, so he let his father out. My father didn't have a hair on his head, and he felt that it would be a shame to be asked about it when he returned to the city, so he quietly wrote a letter of repentance to his mother. After knowing the truth of the matter, my mother forgave my father. The father took advantage of the fact that Xiaomin went out with his daughter-in-law to buy vegetables on the street, so he went into his mother's room, knelt on the ground, and did not get up all night. After my mother completely forgave my father. They are as loving as they used to be. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Since your father has returned home, why didn't he tell you the truth of the matter?" ”

Liu Zhiyun lowered his head and sighed: "Isn't this because my father loves face too much?" He said that if his son knew about this, how would he live in the future? So he wanted to wait at home for his hair to grow back and then come out to see us. Unfortunately, Xiaomin thought that his mother had an adulterous affair with the monk, so he killed his father by mistake. Lord Wang's conviction of killing his father was convicted. ”

Song Ruilong shifted his gaze to Liu Tianxiong and said, "Master, what do you think of the verdict on this case?" ”

Liu Tianxiong had already written the confession, and after he asked Liu Zhiyun to draw a charge on the confession, he said: "My lord, this case is a son killing his father, and a son killing his father is to be killed according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty." However, because things happen for a reason, they are not inflexible. Liu Zhiyun's father was messing with nuns outside, misbehaved, and deserved it. Besides, in this case, Liu Zhiyun did not intentionally kill, and he admitted his guilt afterwards with a good attitude, he has repented, as long as Liu Zhiyun's mother no longer pursues his father's murder, then this case can sentence Liu Zhiyun to exile for 1,000 miles, and after ten years, he will be allowed to return to Ping'an County. ”

Song Ruilong felt that it was reasonable for the case to be so determined, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and said, "However, will Liu Zhiyun's mother agree?" ”

Liu Tianxiong affirmed: "Of course I will agree." When I was at Liu Zhiyun's house, his mother said that this incident was completely the fault of her and Liu Yingjun, and that they should not hide it from their son and daughter-in-law, and should have told Liu Zhiyun the truth of the matter as soon as possible. ”

Song Ruilong said: "That's good, this case will be sentenced like this, but whether it will work or not, it depends on the approval of the Criminal Department." Also, the nun of the meditation nunnery, as a monk, did not think about self-cultivation and reciting Buddha, moved the mortal heart, and broke the rules and precepts, of course, this crime cannot be lightly punished. Master, you immediately take people to the Jingxin Nunnery, dissolve the Jingxin Nunnery, and at the same time bring all the five nuns there back to the Yamen, and the county will punish them to Liu Quanfu's silk manufacturing site for five years of hard labor. ”

Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixi took the three servants to the meditation nunnery in Ziyun Mountain.

After Song Ruilong finished sentencing the case of Liu Zhiyun's murder of his father, he looked at Liu Zhiyun and said, "Liu Zhiyun, this county asks you, why didn't you attend your cousin's wedding on the day your cousin got married?" ”

After Liu Zhiyun was sentenced by Song Ruilong, he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and said: "If you go back to adulthood, Xiaomin didn't attend his cousin's wedding yesterday because he wanted to meet an important businessman. However, Xiao Min gave her a pair of jade bracelets as a congratulatory gift, which can be regarded as making up for Xiao Min's regret that he could not be there. ”
