Chapter 33: Sentence
Song Sanbao, Qian Xiaoming and the others stepped forward hard, and when they met the fierce eyes of Zhang Daoyun, Wu Chenliang and others, they flinched a little, after they were brought to the yamen yesterday, they knew the true identity of these people, and they suddenly felt fear in their hearts.
At this time, when Ye Xiaotian asked, several people squeaked for a long time, thinking of the consequences of being retaliated against by this powerful family, they didn't dare to come forward to identify after all, so they squeaked and said: "Master, I'll wait...... When I heard that the young girl was calling for help, I rushed to Luo's house and fled in panic. I couldn't catch up, and I only had a face-to-face with them, and I really don't remember their faces very clearly, so I can't be sure...... It's not them. ”
When Zhang Daoyun and the others heard this, they sneered, looking extremely proud. When Luo's father and Luo's mother heard this, they scolded angrily: "Song Sanbao, Qian Xiaoming, you are still not human, how can you say that?" It's the five of them, it's the five of them! ”
Song Sanbao, Qian Xiaoming and others lowered their heads in shame, letting Luo's father and Luo's mother scold them, neither having the courage to refute nor the courage to stand up and testify against Zhang Daoyun and others. Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian's heart couldn't help but sink, what he was most worried about had finally happened.
Yuchen shouted: "Lord Tuiguan, these witnesses can't remember the appearance of the villain at all!" We are all children of powerful families, children of wealth, what kind of woman can't get it, how can she do such a thing, it's just a misunderstanding. If you release us immediately, we will not hold you accountable. ”
Wu Chenliang, Zhang Hong, and Xiang Feiyu immediately followed suit, and Ye Xiaotian sank his face and said, "Shut up!" There is no witness, and there is a bitter master. How to judge the case, this official has his own opinions, and if you dare to make noise, this official will punish you for a crime of disrespect! ”
Yuchen saw his uncle Yulong make the gesture of "don't be impatient", so he sneered and stopped. Ye Xiaotian said: "Qian Xiaoming, Song Sanbao, wait until you see it more clearly, you really can't recognize these people?" ”
As soon as Song Sanbao raised his head, he saw the fierce gazes of Zhang Daoyun and others. couldn't help but shiver, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaomin...... Xiaomin really can't remember. ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Okay! Luo's father and Luo's mother, the two of you stepped forward and identified the official again, are these five really the thugs who entered your house and raped your daughter? ”
Father Luo said excitedly: "Master, the grass people can see it clearly, it's them!" That's them! The five of them broke into my house in a drunken rage and knocked my husband and wife unconscious. Raped my daughter! That's right, he's him, he's the one who took the lead! ”
Luo's father pointed at Zhang Daoyun and said through gritted teeth, and Luo's mother also pointed at Wu Chenliang and shouted, "It's him!" When the woman struggled to resist, she also scratched his neck, and the old man knew it at a glance. ”
Wu Chenliang subconsciously covered his neck, and after thinking about it again, he sneered and put down his hand. In his heart, to cover up because of the accusations of these small people, it is a cowardly appearance, and he will be made fun of. Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "Su Bantou stepped forward to check!" ”
Su Xuntian walked to Wu Chenliang's side. Wu Chenliang raised his chest and raised his head, staring at him and sneering. Su Xuntian took a closer look, turned around and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the suspect Wu Chenliang does have a few finger marks on his neck that have not yet healed. ”
Wu Chenliang said triumphantly: "These finger marks." It was a quarrel between Wu and his wife two days ago, and he was scratched by my wife, if the official does not believe it. Call my lady and ask for it. ”
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him coldly, then turned to Luo's father and said, "Is your daughter still sober?" She is a victim, and the official still needs her confession to do it! ”
Father Luo nodded, turned around and walked to his daughter's side, seeing her haggard and weak appearance, he couldn't help but shed tears again, and choked up in her ear: "Daughter, the master of the official is the master of our family, and he has caught those wicked people." When your daughter wakes up, identify them quickly, and the magistrate will make the decision for you. ”
Although Luo Qingqing has been on hunger strike for three days, in fact, she is not unconscious, the most important thing is that she has suffered this great humiliation, her body and mind have been devastated, and she has already sprouted the will to live and die, her consciousness does not want her to wake up, otherwise the unbearable scene will come to her mind, so she has been in a state of confusion.
Faintly hearing his father talking in his ear, Luo Qingqing said weakly: "Dad, please let me die, my daughter doesn't want to live anymore, my daughter ...... Can't live anymore. ”
When Luo's mother heard this, her eyes were blurred with tears, and she cried: "Daughter, those gangsters have been caught by the lord of the official family, and they need your identification to cure their crimes, daughter, wake up, wake up!" ”
Luo Qingqing heard these words clearly, her spirit couldn't help but perk, she slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually woke up, and found that she was really in the public court, her eyes moved, and suddenly saw Zhang Daoyun and others standing aside, she suddenly screamed, curled up, hid in her mother's arms, and shouted in horror: "Don't come, don't come!" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "You don't have to be afraid, you can see clearly, whether these villains have ruined your reputation, see clearly, you have your own official to make decisions for you." ”
Luo Qingqing glanced at the public case and saw a very young official standing there, speaking to her in a kind manner, so he wept and said, "Master, it's him!" It's just a few of them, begging the adults to be the masters of the people! ”
Ye Xiaotian asked, "Have you seen clearly?" True, indiscriminately! ”
Luo Qingqing gritted her teeth and said: "The folk girls will never be mistaken, they are animals...... Even if they turn to ashes, the women of the people will recognize them! He ......"
Luo Qingqing pointed at Zhang Daoyun and said, "This wicked man, he broke into my house, knocked my parents unconscious, and ...... me Forcible misconduct. The folk girl swore to resist to the death, but was also knocked out by him. The folk girl still remembers that she once scratched his lower body and begged the eldest master to be the master of the people's daughter. ”
Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and shouted: "Su Bantou, take Zhang Daoyun down to check his injuries." ”
"No need!"
Zhang Daoyun was willing to accept the humiliation of letting a few silkiers take off his clothes and check his body naked, he stepped forward and said impatiently: "That's right! This matter is done by a few of us, how do you go, just draw the line! ”
Wu Chenliang said nervously: "Brother Daoyun......"
Zhang Daoyun waved his hand and said disdainfully: "What's the big deal, isn't it just to pay her some money." ”
Zhang Daoyun glanced at the Luo family's father and daughter, and said with a wicked smile: "The little master prostitutes a woman, and she has never relied on the account, if it weren't for her ignorance, could she still miss her money?" He rewarded her with a little silver tael. However, this woman is really tasteful. Hahaha......"
Zhang Daoyun's arrogant attitude was undisguised, he was above the court, and he personally admitted that he had committed the crime of rape, but he was unscrupulous. Wu Chenliang thought secretly: "Although I am not a child of the Tusi family, but Zhang Daoyun is the mastermind, if Zhang Daoyun can't punish the crime, naturally he can't cure my crime." Then he stepped aside and said no more.
During the interrogation here, the secretary on the side carried his pen like flying, wrote down the confessions of both parties, and then handed the recorded book to Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian looked at it, handed it to Li Qiuchi again, and said, "Now that you have pleaded guilty, draw and sign on the spot!" ”
Li Qiuchi held the confession book, walked to Zhang Daoyun with pen and ink, Zhang Daoyun glanced at Ye Xiaotian with a sneer, picked up the pen and wrote his name with a brush, and dipped it in the printing box with ink, and printed his thumb up. Handed it to Yuchen, he sneered and said nothing.
When the painting of several people was finished one by one, Ye Xiaotian slapped the startled wood and shouted murderously: "According to the "Da Ming Law". Rape, hanging! Breaking into people's houses and raping women is a heinous crime. Unforgivable! Zhang Daoyun, Wu Chenliang, Zhang Hong, Xiang Feiyu, and Yuchen were all sentenced to hanging! Hold on! ”
In Tang Lu and Song Lu. The sentence for adultery is one and a half years, two years in the case of a woman with a husband, and one more degree for rape, and six months for each additional degree, so the rapist is sentenced to two years' imprisonment. The punishment will only be increased in two cases: first, rape of relatives, the most severe penalty is the death penalty; The other is that a slave rapes his master, and must be sentenced to death.
But in the Ming Dynasty, the punishment for the crime of rape was even more severe, but for the crime of rape, the old man Zhu Yuanzhang was one word: "Death!" "These five people forcibly broke into a private house and gang-raped women, which is even more criminal, and of course they deserve death.
Zhang Daoyun was first taken aback when he heard Ye Xiaotian's verdict, and then let out a strange laugh and said, "You dare!" Zhang is a son of the Tusi family, he can ransom for his crimes, who can kill me? Who dares to kill me! ”
Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi didn't care about him so much, stepped forward and grabbed the iron chain on his body, and shouted, "Go!" The two sides were pulling on this side, and the fathers of Wu Chenliang and the others in the side compartment were angry, and they rushed out one after another and shouted: "Ye Tuiguan, your prestige has been enough, what else to do." If you want to kill my son, the old man won't agree! ”
Ye Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "What's the matter, you still have to forcibly break into the court and interfere with the official's questioning of the case?" ”
Li Qiuchi hurriedly came forward and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is absolutely impossible to disturb the court, if you have any objections, appeal to the prefect!" ”
Li Qiuchi said as he glanced at them urgently. In Li Qiuchi's mind, Ye Xiaotian was just pretending, wanting to make this Qingguan drama more realistic, as long as they complained to the above, they would get off the donkey down the slope and replace the crime with a fine according to the rules, but they forgot what a donkey Ye Xiaotian was, as long as his donkey sex was committed, it would be nine cows that couldn't pull it.
Zhang Yu shouted coldly: "You guys are enough!" What a pusher, it's just a dog that bites people for others. What is the use of you looking for him? To solve this matter, only our acting prefect Yu nodded and left! ”
After that, Zhang Yuhan glared at Ye Xiaotian with disdain and left proudly. The others looked at each other and followed him out. Anyway, even if Ye Xiaotian is sentenced, he still needs to be signed by the prefect and the prison state, and reported to the imperial court, and the emperor will be executed after the autumn, and he is not in a hurry.
As soon as Yu Junting arrived at the yamen today, he instructed Dai Tongzhi to pay attention to the case for her, so Dai Chonghua also listened under the wall on the other side of the Yamen, but no one saw it hidden in the "quiet card", and when he heard that Ye Xiaotian sentenced Zhang Daoyun and others to death, Dai Chonghua had already left when the two sides were arguing, and hurried to report to Yu Junting.
When Yu Junting heard this, he was stunned and said, "He...... Did you really sentence those five people to death? In addition to the amazement, there seemed to be some admiration in his tone.
Dai Chonghua said with a smile: "In my opinion, it's just that he can be a man, he pretends to be blackfaced, but he gives this favor to Lord Jianzhou, waiting for Lord Jianzhou to show you extrajudicial favors in order to buy people's hearts." If you don't believe it, just look at it, Zhang Yuhan and the others will soon come to plead with Lord Jianzhou, citing the old law to impose fines as a substitute! ”
Before Dai Tong could say anything, Zhang Yuhan and the other five people broke in angrily.
