Chapter 55: The Law

The crying came from the private room next door.

Hearing the voice, Zhou Qing frowned and turned his head to look at Zhou Huaishan.

Zhou Huaishan also reacted, got up with a swish, took a cup and went straight to the wall.

The cup was pressed against the wall, and the ear was propped up.

Shen Li......

Master?

At the moment when Shen Li twitched out of the corner of his eyes, Zhou Qing picked up the cup in front of him and slipped down next to Zhou Huaishan.

The voice next door came from all over the place.

Private room next door.

Wang Qiang's father sat there with a black face, looking at Zhou Huaihai's gaze and wanting to tear him directly.

Zhou Huaihai smiled.

It was Wang Qiang's mother who was crying.

While crying, Wang Qiangniang took a bite of Wang's mouthful.

A mouthful of phlegm spit directly onto Wang's arm.

"Shameless and skinless thing, you know how to pit me, black-hearted thing, what good is it for you to pit me! Now it's okay, my daughter-in-law is gone! Are you happy? ”

Wang was so disgusted by the phlegm that he almost vomited.

But they didn't dare to have a seizure.

Early this morning, Wang Qiang's father and mother came to the county government to report to the official.

When the county order tries a case, it is natural to ask the person who reported the case to prove physical evidence.

There is no physical evidence, but as for the human witnesses......

It was the two of them who told Wang Qiang's father and mother that someone saw Zhou Qing and Wang Qiang entering the deserted temple together.

Immediately, the county order asked people to go to Qingyang Village to get them.

When she arrived at the court, she originally wanted to be hard-mouthed, but as soon as she knocked the killing stick, she and Zhou Huaihai were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they recruited without waiting for the county order to ask.

No one saw Zhou Qing and Wang Qiang enter the deserted temple together, they made it up.

After saying this, Wang Qiang and his mother almost beat Wang into a hand-torn cabbage in the county office.

If it weren't for the Wang family making things up, they wouldn't have rushed to Zhou Qing last night, and the life-and-death marriage contract would not have been canceled.

As for Wang Qiang......

Who would have thought that the county magistrate would have known about Wang Qiang for a long time.

Wang Qiang was arrested by the county government because he did evil in Wangjia Village, and he worked as a coolie to repair the road in Shilipu.

The county order said that this is called labor reform.

was arrested together, as well as two young men from the same village.

The two young men had already gotten the letter at home, but they didn't tell Wang Qiang's father and mother because they had a bad relationship with the Wang family, so they were in a hurry.

As for when Wang Qiang will be released, the county order said that it all depends on when the road will be repaired.

Fast, three years and five years.

Wait, wait.

Thinking of her baby son doing coolies, Wang Qiang and her mother felt distressed as if they had been stabbed with a knife.

However, fortunately, Wang Qiang did not die, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!

As soon as she came out of the county office, Wang Qiang and her mother grabbed Wang and asked her to treat her at Fushun Restaurant.

Otherwise, they will shake out the fact that the two of them lied to frame Zhou Qing.

The next door scolded and scolded, and Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan heard what happened.

The two sat back in their seats with indignant faces.

"I've been worried about delaying the game by the county government today, but I didn't expect this to be the case!

I knew that my eldest brother was not a thing, but I didn't expect him to be so bad! Fortunately, there was a fuss yesterday, so we completely broke with them. ”

Zhou Huaishan looked indignant, picked up the cup on the table and poured a cup of tea.

Zhou Qing was a little surprised by Wang Qiang's whereabouts and looked at Shen Li.

"Why was Wang Qiang arrested to build roads?"

"Your Majesty is wise in this dynasty, and all states and counties are widely engaged in water conservancy and road construction.

However, there is not enough labor to build the road.

His Majesty then decreed that all those who were guilty of burning and killing and committing adultery and the circumstances were heinous and did not cause any death, should be sent to repair the roads.

In addition, anyone under the age of 14 who is guilty of burning and killing and committing adultery shall be sent to repair roads as long as the circumstances are extremely heinous. ”

Hearing the word fourteen years old, Zhou Qing's heart moved.

"How long will it take?"

"For the rest of your life."

"If those who are seven or eight years old, or six or seven years old, also commit such a sin, they also go to build roads?"

Shen Li nodded.

"As long as the government finds out that the perpetrator committed the crime on his own initiative and was not instigated by others, this is the case."

Shen Li's words fell, and when he saw Zhou Qing frowning, he sighed.

"Do you think they are pitiful?"

Zhou Qing pursed his lips.

Pathetic?

It's hateful!

If they have pity, will they not have pity on those whom they have harmed?

In her time......

Thinking of the fairness that could never be obtained, Zhou Qing's heart sank.

"Three years ago, there was a case in Kyoto.

At the time of the crime, the perpetrator was only eight years old, and took advantage of the fact that there were no adults in the neighbor's little girl's house, climbed over the wall and entered the little girl's house, and the theft failed to kill the little girl.

The method was cruel, and the case caused a sensation throughout Kyoto at the time.

However, because the perpetrator was too young, the government at that time only arrested and imprisoned him for one year in accordance with the law.

Do you know what he did after a year in prison? ”

Zhou Qing's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to guess.

The story told by Shen Li was that in her era, there were not a few similar cases.

What about the results......

Zhou Qing's hand on his lap trembled a little uncontrollably.

Shen Li sighed.

"When the offender was released from prison, he held a grudge against the little girl's parents, who he believed had killed him, and if they hadn't reported it, he wouldn't have been imprisoned for a year.

The first thing he did when he was released from prison, he went straight to the little girl's house with a knife, and in the name of sincere apology, he took advantage of the defenselessness of the little girl's parents and pulled out the knife directly. ”

When Shen Li said this, Zhou Huaishan slapped the table.

"Damn, this is a brute!"

Zhou Qing's hand trembled violently.

Shen Li said: "Since this case, the law of the imperial court has been changed, but if there is a serious crime, the crime should be punished, and those who do not die will be sent to repair the road for a lifetime, regardless of age." ”

After the words fell, Shen Li was silent for a moment, took a breath and sighed slowly.

"Don't expect bad people to grow up and become good people.

He's only going to turn out to be a bigger bad guy.

In order not to cause more harm, the best thing to do is to completely insulate them from society. ”

Zhou Qing listened, with mixed feelings.

Seeing Zhou Qing's face sank, Shen Li tilted his head, "Does the young girl think it's inappropriate?" ”

Zhou Qing shook his head slowly.

"I think, very good, that's how it should be!"

yes, that's how it should be!

Otherwise, some laws will become the offender's fearless reliance!

And those who should be protected have lost the opportunity to be protected forever, and even after death, they will not get the justice they deserve.

As he spoke, the dishes in the restaurant were served one by one.

I obviously ordered three meats and three vegetarian soups.

looked at the plates on the table, and the shopkeeper who was still serving food.

Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan were dumbfounded, and they were shocked and dispersed the indignant emotions just now.

"No, it's ...... Is this wrong? Zhou Qing looked at the shopkeeper with a bewildered expression.

The shopkeeper put down the plate in his hand and smiled politely: "That's right, this boy ordered all the dishes in our store." ”

After that, the shopkeeper beckoned to the guys outside.

"Here, add another table here."

How can a table fit all the dishes of Fushun Restaurant.

Two of course!

I watched the guys bring the table in, and the guys kept putting all kinds of dishes on the table.

Zhou Qing......

"You ordered all the dishes?"

Zhou Huaishan......

"I didn't play like this before!"

Shocked, Zhou Qing couldn't care about Zhou Huaishan's personality.

"No, it's not, this, how much money does this cost, are you crazy?"

Zhou Qing got up and grabbed a young man, "Can this be retreated?" We can't eat so much! ”
