Chapter 30: Legal Principles and Human Feelings
"What's strange about this, I often draw some vignettes for some silver taels. What's so strange about Miss He Qing buying my illustrations?" Bai Shaoyu said with a cold snort.
"But I ran to all the bookstores in Suzhou, even the places where there were stalls on the side of the road, and I also looked for them, but I never saw the second set of illustrations of Brother Bai. Moreover, would you be a killer to the point where you need to sell paintings for a living?
You are a scholarly family, born proud, in Xiangyang's home, thousands of acres of fertile land and dozens of servants, why do you need to sell illustrations for a living?
My lord, I think that the content of this illustration is actually about the acquaintance and love of Bai Shaoyu and Miss He Qing. β
Qian Zhifu slowly looked away from the illustration, and his eyes swept over Bai Shaoyu, "It's exactly the same story as Lu Sheng's story." β
"My lord, I know that I have sinned deeply, and now I have confessed my sins. Lord Lu didn't know what his intentions were to excuse me like this. Could it be that Lord Lu, you are as good as Longyang?"
"I'm here!" Before Bai Shaoyu finished speaking, Lu Sheng snorted violently, "Bai Shaoyu, this official is only for the truth to be revealed, since I am the head of the Criminal Division, how can I allow Er and others to reverse black and white?"
"Lu Sheng, what Bai Shaoyu said is not bad, he has already pleaded guilty to the law, after all, this is a capital crime of killing the head, no one should be willing to take the crime, right? Moreover, his confession is consistent with the He Fu case, if he is not the murderer, he will not know so clearly, right?"
Qian Tang said with some hesitation. He was willing to believe Lu Sheng's words, but at the same time, he had to accept the fact that Bai Shaoyu pleaded guilty to the law.
Because he is not a murderer, but he is willing to be the murderer. In this world, there are some things that you will not hesitate to do even if you know that you will die. I think it would be the same if Miss He Qing and Bai Shaoyu exchanged Miss He Qing, right?"
He Qing kept her head down and didn't say anything until Lu Sheng asked, then she slowly raised her head and showed a faint smile, "Lord Lu, I don't know what you're talking about?" Also, the little woman doesn't understand what grudge Lord Lu and I have. β
"My lord, it's done!"
The official rushed to him, followed by a panting man.
"Lu Sheng, the preoccupation has come, what is your evidence?"
"Zuo, let me ask you, how can ordinary people tell the old and the new with tattoos?"
"With a new tattoo, there will be blood accumulation under the skin, and there will be dark bruises or dark spots around the tattoo. The tattoo can be judged by the black blue and dark spots. However, this method is only applicable for one month, and it is difficult to distinguish if it is more than one month. β
"Look at the green dragon tattoo on Bai Shaoyu's back!"
"Yes!" he stepped forward and tore off Bai Shaoyu's prison uniform on his back, he didn't even need to recognize it, he just needed to know it in his heart at a glance.
"Lord Qiyu, the tattoo on Bai Shaoyu's back is less than ten days. β
The words landed, and Bai Shaoyu closed his eyes sadly. As if all his strength had been drained, the whole person collapsed to the ground.
"Bold Bai Shaoyu, you actually misled the official to judge the case, obviously you are not Qinglong, why do you impersonate and confess to the law?"
"For his children!" Lu Sheng said indifferently.
"My lord, the official just said that Bai Shaoyu and He Qingzhu had a secret knot, in order not to be killed by the real Qinglong's knowledge, He Qing made the first move.
Originally, the blame was seamless for Li Xiang, and things went as smoothly as they expected, but they didn't expect that the lower officials would re-investigate the case.
Xiaguan is getting closer and closer to the truth under the cocoon, but He Qing's child will not be born for at least half a year.
In order to keep the child, Bai Shaoyu took the initiative to jump out of the eyes of the subordinate officials and confess his guilt.
I think that in addition to Master He's severed left arm, the real Qinglong tattoo should also have Miss He Qing's body, right?"
"Lu Sheng! Are you really so cold-blooded and ruthless? I am willing to die for my child, why do you have to be so ruthless? Qing'er and after giving birth to the child and settling the child, she will atone for her sins with death, so you can't let my child live?"
Bai Shaoyu finally broke down and cried loudly, and this sentence finally revealed the truth of this case. While everyone was shocked by the dramatic turn of events, they were deeply moved by what Bai Shaoyu had done.
"Brother Yu, that's fine...... We are a family, and no one is allowed to leave anyone behind...... I, you, and the children, will leave none behind. β
He Qing's voice was so calm, she slowly came to Bai Shaoyu's side, and knelt on the ground side by side with Bai Shaoyu.
"My lord, what Lord Lu said is right. I killed it, and in order to save my life, I had to preemptively poison my biological father and strangle my sister to death. Before that, I was also cold-blooded and ruthless.
There are not a hundred but fifty of those who die at my hands...... Growing up, I didn't read a book and couldn't read a word. My father's teachings were how to make me kill.
I don't know what it means to be knowledgeable, and I don't know what it means to be benevolent. All these sins are on me, and they have nothing to do with Brother Yu. I have no regrets about this knife. I also hope that the adults will return Brother Yu's innocence. Even if I get to the Netherworld, I hope Brother Yu can come down cleanly. β
The bloody eight-o'clock stall made Lu Sheng's goosebumps rise all over his body. And the prefect of Qian was already trembling with anger.
"You have flouted the law and teased the government five times, so what face do you have to seek innocence? If it weren't for Lu Sheng's clear understanding, then how could Li Xiang be innocent? In order to escape the law, you have implicated innocent people. How can this official be spared? Come on!"
"Slow down, adult!" Lu Sheng hurriedly shouted to stop, "The lower officials think that He Qing killed her father and sister, and the crime is extremely heinous, but the child in her womb is innocent." If the execution is carried out at this moment, it caters to the law, but it hurts people's feelings.
Second, Bai Shaoyu knew who the murderer was, but he refused to tell him. knew that Li Xiang was innocent, but he wanted to harm him regardless of the teachings of the sages. Although he is a child's affection, it is difficult to hide his selfishness. The lower officials implore the adults to pronounce the sentence at their discretion, the upper body is heavenly heart, and the lower body is legal and humane. β
"I beg your Excellency to forgive you for the law, reason, and human feelings!" many people in the audience knelt on the ground and petitioned. For a time, the crowd of black pressure shouted in unison, which was spectacular.
Qiantang's astonishing wood was held high in the air, and after listening to Lu Sheng's words, he saw the scene in front of him and his face changed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qian Zhifu finally made a decision in his heart. Shocked wood heavy shot.
"He Qing and Bai Shaoyu listened to the verdict, He Qing, you have been a killer for many years, and your crime of hurting many lives is unforgivable. even poisoned his own family a month ago, and brutalized his father and sister.
The official pronounced the verdict and sentenced He Qing to be executed. However, if you are pregnant, why should you have a child in your womb? Therefore, the official will consider it at his discretion and wait until you give birth to the child before executing. This son will be entrusted by the imperial court to a good family to raise him.
Bai Shaoyu, you read the sage book in vain in disregard of the national law. first framed He Qing for goodness and wanted to cover up crimes such as Er, and then misled the government to find out the truth and cover up the real culprit. Although there are extenuating circumstances, there is no forgiveness for sin.
This official sentenced you to deprive the scholar of his fame and exile him to Lingnan, and he was not allowed to leave for life. The official knows that you are bent on death, but the official has to remind you that your sin is not enough to die, and I hope you can figure it out. β
"Thank you for your kindness, the grass people have it! The grass people implore the adults if they can detain me for the time being, the grass people want to see their children......
"Legal principles are not possible, but human feelings are acceptable!"
"Your Excellency is wiseβ"
"Your Excellency is wiseβ"
The crowd erupted in cheers like a landslide. This verdict is reasonable and convincing. The people were both delighted and moved.
For Qian Zhifu, this was what he should have done. But for the people, they saw a good official who took into account human feelings and legal principles. The people's requirements are not high, and for them happiness may be to have a good weather and meet a good official.
The punishment order in his mind suddenly trembled, and in a burst of white light, three cards suddenly appeared.
Lu Sheng originally thought that he had read it wrong, but he carefully sensed it, and it was indeed three cards instead of two.
The mental power is concentrated on the first card, "Skill card, Jin Yangong, from the Legend of the Condor Heroes." For the Quanzhen School of Light Gong Gong, the cultivation is high and deep, and the hundred-zhang city wall jumps over. β
Seeing that it was this martial art, Lu Sheng was so excited that he almost danced. Light work is what Lu Sheng lacks the most now. Hurriedly concentrated his spiritual power on Jin Yangong, and for a moment, it was as if an electric current had activated the cells in his body.
A brand-new palace route surged through the body, and Jin Yangong automatically reached the full level. The comprehension of the use of light power has reached a very high level. If the internal force is enough, Lu Sheng now wants to go outside Suzhou City to see if he can leap over the city wall.
Pressing the mood of the commotion, Lu Sheng once again concentrated his spiritual power on the second card, "Pill card, big return pill." It is a secret elixir for Songshan Shaolin Temple, and it can skyrocket for ten years after taking it. β
It is worthy of a case that has gone through a lot of hard work to solve, and there is nothing to say about this reward. Originally, I thought that Jin Yangong was already the best reward this time, but I didn't expect that this time there was a more practical Da Huandan.
Lu Sheng still remembers that when he first watched Xiaoao Jianghu, there was a debate about which was more important than the internal swordsmanship. Although Yue Buqun is a hypocrite, there is nothing wrong with his arguments. The combination of qi and sword, the first emphasis is on practicing qi, and once the internal strength arrives, even if the flowers and leaves are flying, they can kill people invisibly.
Looking at the masters that Lu Sheng knows, martial arts have their own merits, swords and fists all have emphasis, but only one is indispensable. It is a strong and pure internal force.
Originally, Lu Sheng's five years of pure internal power obtained under Xiao Huandan's Pure Internal Force had reached the Acquired Triple Realm, but after all, it was a little worse than those peerless geniuses who had been cultivating since childhood. But now, with ten years of pure internal strength, Lu Sheng has finally caught up.
Extrapolating backwards from age, fifteen years of internal strength can be regarded as not too late to start practicing martial arts at the age of eight.
Hurriedly activated the pill card, and a large pill appeared in Lu Sheng's palm, and without hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.
The Mixed Yuan Gong in the body automatically operated, and when the medicinal power was dissipated, the power of the body was rapidly getting stronger and bigger like a tornado.
The sound of the mountain cries gradually subsided, and a gust of wind swept across the sky. In the fierce wind, Lu Sheng's clothes danced wildly, and bursts of internal force waves rippled out.
The day after tomorrow is fourfold, five, sixfold.
Ten years of pure internal force gives Lu Sheng the feeling that it is several times that of five years of internal force. Vigorously pushed Lu Sheng's skill from the third layer of the day after tomorrow to the nine realms of the day after tomorrow.
Qian Zhifu enjoyed the cheers of the people very much, which was his political achievement and his glory. He has been in Suzhou Mansion for ten years, and he is almost at the limit. Some time ago, there was a letter from home, and within two years, he would be promoted.
Qiantang disdains the lust for power, but longs to clear his name. What an honor would it be to receive an umbrella of all the people when he left office, and to have people come to see him off voluntarily?
Suddenly, a fluctuation of internal force that made him feel moved, Qian Tang turned his face sideways, but saw the scene of Lu Shengqingsi flying like a fairy.
For a moment, a trace of emotion flashed on his face, and finally turned into an exclamation in his eyes.
"God-granted!"
