Chapter 103: Xue Langjing defended himself
As soon as he heard the woman reading and learning calligraphy, the county master's face fell again, and he asked again, "Can you contradict the elders." ”
Xue Langjing, who felt that she had done nothing wrong, naturally would not be unreasonably afraid, and replied truthfully, "No, the folk girl just said that she was not unfilial." ”
No matter how reasonable she was, she didn't make the county magistrate have much affection for her, and only snorted at her, "Hmph, is there any, how can I listen to your family." ”
Then, the county magistrate asked Old Man Xue, "Xue Yongqiang, how did this granddaughter do these evil deeds." ”
Old man Xue was of course most angry that she let everyone study, but she left herself alone, making herself the only one in the family who was illiterate, so she was laughed at him, and even her majesty as the head of the family was provoked.
But he also knew that he couldn't come up with this reason, and he had to use other reasons.
Thinking like this, he respectfully kowtowed to the county master, and then raised his head and said, "Master Qing, you have to call the shots for the grass people, this girl is very bad."
I think that at the beginning, when our Xue family started a new house, she secretly wrote the land deed she bought in her name, and she didn't discuss it with our elders.
The new house also bears her name, won't we be able to drive out our elders at any time in the future?
We haven't separated yet, if you are filial to your baby, how can you do such an angry thing. ”
Hearing his words, the county magistrate nodded thoughtfully, "That's right." ”
Seeing that the county master was biased towards him, Old Man Xue felt more and more hateful about this girl, and continued, "It's not all, she let our family study and learn calligraphy, which is a good thing."
But she had a crooked idea, and asked her family to accept a lot of students who were auditing, most of whom were men.
She let so many men spend all day with my Xue family's granddaughters, and there are adult men among them. Men and women don't kiss, this is a truth that even a three-year-old doll knows, will she not know?
This must be deliberate, is your unscrupulous descendant morally corrupt?
Also, she tricked those women into signing a contract with her without authorization, causing the woman's family to come to our house and make a fuss about suing the official.
And he also took them out all day long, delayed the family affairs of these young women, and finally coaxed the families of these women to sign a deed of sale with her..."
Then he told Xue Langjing that he had done everything he thought was out of the ordinary in the past few days, and the county lord's brows became tighter and tighter, and his gaze at Xue Langjing gradually became unkind.
After that, Old Man Xue sued her again for contradicting her elders, and Xue Langjing's behavior of contradicting herself at the Lantern Festival before.
After listening to Old Man Xue's complaint, the shocking wood in the county master's hand slapped heavily, and shouted to Xue Langjing, "Bold and wicked girl, can you plead guilty to your grandfather's crimes?" ”
"Lord Qiqi, the folk girl doesn't know what's wrong."
Xue Langjing only felt ridiculous about his grandfather's crooked reasoning, and he didn't feel that he was wrong, even if the county master was biased towards him, the eyes of the masses were bright.
"Bold! Thou hast not yet known thy wrong, and hast made such a great mistake and thou hast not repented, and thee shall be sentenced by this judge..."
The county master was about to convict her, but as soon as the shocking wood was picked up, he was pulled by the master standing on the side, so that he didn't take the picture for a while, and the crime he originally wanted to convict was naturally gone.
I only heard the master leaning over his ear and persuading in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "My lord, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to convict her just because of this, there are so many people outside who are listening."
At least let this woman defend herself, and we can only convict her after we have defended herself, otherwise the people will think that your sentence is too rash and will hinder your reputation. ”
After the master's persuasion, the county master put down the shocking wood and asked Xue Langjing again, "Xue girl, what else do you have to say, admit guilt or not?" ”
"The folk girl has something to say."
"Speak!"
Naturally, we don't dare to talk back to the county master, but we can be reasonable, isn't this the place to be reasonable in this court.
Xue Langjing stated her reasons, "First of all, about the new house, the money for buying the title deed was all earned by the people's daughters, and they didn't spend a penny on others.
The folk girl used her own money to buy land, which was bought openly, how could she be sneaky?
In the same way, the money for the new house was earned by the women alone, and even if it was not enough for the time being, the women borrowed the money from the public with the consent of the family, and no one objected at the time, and they were quickly returned.
Moreover, even if the money temporarily borrowed from the family, it was all given by the people's daughters every day. What's wrong with a people's girl using her own money to build a new house and hang it in her own name? ”
As soon as she finished, Old Man Xue disagreed, and hurriedly retorted to her, "We didn't split up, so she dared to hide her private money, county master, do you have to go over?"
As long as there is no separation, then everyone should not hide their secrets, and all the money should belong to the public school, and she is embezzling the money in the public school for private profit.
And what does she, a woman, want this deed? Who is eligible to buy land and build a house? ”
After listening to Old Man Xue's rebuttal, the county magistrate deeply agreed, and then asked Xue Langjing, "Xue girl, are you guilty?" ”
Xue Langjing immediately retorted, "The folk girl doesn't know. The woman wanted to ask the county magistrate, is there any law that stipulates that a woman cannot own private property, cannot use her own money to buy a title deed or build a house, and cannot have a house deed in her name? ”
"This..."
The county master was speechless when she asked, and turned his head to look at the master.
I saw that the master shook his head, obviously, there were no such provisions in the law.
But this did not prevent him from convicting her, only to listen to the county magistrate and say, "Since ancient times, the imperial court has governed the country with filial piety, filial piety is the foundation of people, and the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, this is the unchanging iron rule."
Your grandfather and father are still alive, how can a woman who has not yet left the cabinet make an arbitrary claim to buy land and build a house for herself without their consent?
Let me ask you, did you buy the land and put the title deed in your own name with the consent of your grandfather and father? ”
At this point, the county magistrate thought that this woman could only have nothing to say, but he saw this woman say loudly, "Dachu law, household law, money and debt, one hundred and forty-eight laws, and twelve regulations.
Any property that can be owned by the children with the approval of the immediate elders can be used as the children's private property, and it is up to them to decide how to use it, and the elders have no right to interfere.
In other words, the law stipulates that children can have private property. ”
At the beginning, Lin Chu was able to set up a female household on her own after she married them, and she felt that it would be useful to herself, so she went to check a lot of relevant laws and regulations, and wrote them down, and now it just came in handy.
Hearing that she suddenly issued the Da Chu law, the county master was stunned for a moment, and then asked the master, "Master, is there such a law?" ”
"This...", the master couldn't answer for a while, only paused for a while and said, "There are many rules and regulations in our Great Chu, how can we remember so much, I will immediately ask people to bring the law, and we will know it as soon as we turn it over." ”
The county magistrate could only suppress the displeasure in his heart, "Let people take it." ”
"Yes."
Soon, a servant came over with the household law.
The master took the law and opened it to check.
Before he could look at it for long, he heard the county master ask himself a little impatiently, "How?" ”
The master had to take his eyes off Hu Li, looked at him and nodded.
