Chapter 334: Rebuttal in court
No one dared to come forward, so Xue Langjing just stood like this, waiting for the county magistrate to come down, and as for the so-called accusers and their witnesses, they were naturally ignored by her.
This time, the waiting time is not as long as yesterday.
As soon as she stood still, she saw a servant go to the back of the yamen.
Before long, the county master strode over with the master.
After a little contact, Xue Langjing already knew in his heart that the county master was deliberately promoted to the court later yesterday, so that the little woman would be humiliated more.
And this time, no one dared to provoke her, and his goal could not be achieved, so he naturally appeared in advance.
After the county order was promoted, he found that this woman only arched her hand to herself, and she didn't even kneel, plus she had already known her behavior outside the ya, and the anger in her heart could be imagined.
I saw him slap the shocking wood in his hand fiercely, and shouted angrily at Xue Langjing, "Bold people's girl, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" ”
However, under his reprimand, the woman only arched her hand again, "Lord Qiyu, according to the laws of the imperial court, the people are not from Heyuan County, and when you see his county magistrate, you can not kneel." ”
As he spoke, he took her out of his arms, handed it to the official on the side, and said to the county magistrate, "This is the guide of the people's daughter." ”
The county commander took the road guide, took a cursory look, and asked the master next to him, "Master, is there such a thing?" ”
It was the first time he had heard of such a rule.
"Wait a minute, sir, stay and check it out", the master turned out the law and looked at it.
When he saw that, he said to the county order, "My lord, you really can't force her to kneel. ”
"Humph!"
The county magistrate snorted, and shouted, "Bold people's daughter, as a woman, why don't you follow the order to pass barefoot?" ”
Xue Langjing said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "May I ask my lord, is there any law that stipulates that women must be barefoot when they pass through the court?" ”
This county magistrate seems to have been prepared, "Then the official will let you see that although there is no such ordinance in this dynasty, but..."
Speaking of this, he saw the county order put his hands together, made a gesture to the sky, and continued, "Emperor Xianwu has issued a new decree, which stipulates that if a person commits a heinous crime, he can learn from the laws of the previous dynasty.
This includes the women involved, especially the crimes involving ***, and the laws of previous dynasties all stipulate that women need to be barefoot when they pass through the court, and the adulterer can go to the pants, and the remaining sins can be single-pants, and the heavier ones can go to the clothes and pants.
Your crime is not only to be barefoot, but also to remove your clothes! ”
After speaking, he asked her with a very kind smile, "Do you want the master to read the specific regulations to you, or do you want to read them yourself?" ”
Seeing how sure he is, it's true.
However, Xue Langjing didn't believe that she could go to her clothes and pants before the case was judged, what if there was a false accusation? Could the law-maker not think of this?
The words of the county order, I'm afraid that it is just bluffing ordinary people who have no power and no power and don't understand anything!
I heard Xue Langjing reply, "Then please ask the master to show the relevant regulations to the people's daughter, so that the people's daughter can understand." ”
Hearing this, the county commander's face stiffened, and then he glanced at the master.
The master understood, so he turned to the corresponding regulations, and then someone helped show the woman.
There are two law books, one is the new rules added by Emperor Wu, and the other is the criminal law of the previous dynasty.
Judging from the few points that the master pointed to, it seems that it is indeed as he said.
But after reading it, I heard Xue Langjing say to the master, "Master, don't you mind if the folk girl herself looks carefully once or twice, right?" ”
As he spoke, before the other party could answer, he made a secret effort and took all the two law books.
was directly taken by her, and it was not good for the master to snatch it back, otherwise there would be no silver three hundred taels here.
After taking the two books, Xue Langjing carefully read both of them a few times, and then said with a smile, "What the adults said is good, there are indeed barefoot people, but the one that goes to the clothes and pants refers to the 'women's crime conviction rod'."
In short, you can only let you go to your clothes and pants after you have passed the case, but the case of the people has not yet been judged, and it seems that only one barefoot is attached to it! ”
I only heard the county magistrate snort heavily, "Then go barefoot first, and let you wear the clothes and pants first, and then I will give you a sentence!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to shoot the shocking wood again.
"Slow down, sir."
Before the county order could take it down, Xue Langjing spoke again.
Interrupting her own judgment, this woman is so bold!
The county commander shouted angrily, "Bold people's daughter, what else do you have to say?" ”
Xue Langjing was not afraid of him, "The laws of the previous dynasty did say so, but this new regulation, it seems to stipulate that 'those who commit heinous crimes' can learn from the laws of the previous dynasty."
Before you were sentenced, my lord, the girl was only the one who was accused, and she did not have any crimes, let alone heinous crimes.
That is to say, at this moment, the laws of the previous dynasty cannot be used on the people's daughters, and the laws of this dynasty do not have such rules, so the people's daughters do not need to go barefoot. ”
Hearing her quibble, the county magistrate glared at her angrily, "You! ”
Xue Langjing immediately continued, "May I ask my lord, did the folk girl say something wrong?" ”
The county commander wanted to be angry again, but he was pulled by the master on the side, and whispered, "My lord is angry, it's just a little late, don't worry." ”
After being dissuaded by the master for two sentences, the county magistrate suppressed his anger and replied sharply, "No mistake." ”
As soon as his words fell, Xue Langjing turned his head to the onlookers and said, "Did you hear it, the county master said that no matter what woman is, if she is not guilty of a crime when she passes through the hall in the future, and there is no major sin, there is no need to go barefoot, let alone take off her shoes and pants." ”
When she finished saying this, the shocked wood of the county order slapped it again and shouted at her, "Bold woman, dare to make noise in the court!" ”
Xue Langjing also replied, "My lord Mingjian, the people's girl is to help you popularize the law to the people and share your worries, didn't the little woman suffer a lot in vain because she didn't understand this law yesterday?" ”
This woman is very sharp-tongued, so as the master said, let her be arrogant for a while, and see how he will rectify her later.
The county magistrate didn't want to talk to her more, so he directly began to try the case.
The trial process was similar to yesterday, and the bandaged men began to tell the case.
said that yesterday they happened to see this woman and a man hugging in broad daylight, and this woman was dressed as a girl, and there was a problem at first glance.
Later, he was reminded that the man was from the same village as him, and he already had a wife and children at home.
Then this woman is a married woman. How could they stand such a morally corrupt thing, so they stepped forward to stop them, hoping that they would turn themselves in.
But I never thought that this woman relied on her strong force, not only refused to admit her guilt, but also injured herself and others...
The witnesses then came forward to testify that they had witnessed the woman beating up several of the accusers.
