Li Hanyao and others were invited to the court.

Huohuangying ordered the officials to move chairs and give up their seats, and they were busy for a while, and only after Duan Cunrui, Zhao Chaozong, and Yan Zhen sat down did they be quiet.

Huo Huang Yingcai asked: "This official has not guilty Li Chun, do you have any objections?" ”

Li Hanyao is not an "adult", but she was the first to echo Huo Huangying, she said: "Li Hanyao seconded Lord Huo and thought that Li Chun was not guilty. ”

Luo Wuchen smiled and said, "I also think that Li Chun is not guilty." ”

Subsequently, Yan Yun and others echoed Huohuangying.

Zhao Chaozong hesitated, if he changed the occasion, he would exonerate Li Chun, but this case was the first case tried by Huo Huangying after taking office, and many people here did not want Huo Huangying to "win the first battle", and were trying to find out her mistakes; He didn't want to see Huo Huangying proud, and he didn't want to involve the innocent, so he hesitated.

After much thought, he decided to be impartial.

He stood up and said righteously: "How to judge, I think that the law should prevail, and I can't question the decision of Lord Huo just because she is a woman." However, I have never tried a case, and I don't know the law as well as the adults, so I don't dare to get an axe. If any of the adults question the verdict of the Fire Lord, please argue with the Fire Lord, and please comment on what is right and wrong, and the people will testify. ”

This was met with applause.

Li Hanyao also said: "That's good! ”

Duan Cunrui also said: "This is true. ”

They can't tolerate Huo Huangying, and they can't frame innocent people in front of everyone, besides, Li Hanyao and others are familiar with the law, if they judge arbitrarily, Li Hanyao will not let go of this opportunity to trample on them, proving that Huo Huangying, this woman, is stronger than the officials here, and they will lose their reputation.

Zhao Chaozong sat down happily.

He suddenly woke up: It is not difficult to cooperate with Li Hanyao, as long as everything is based on righteousness and the people, even if Li Hanyao seizes some opportunities because of this, it is irreparable, and he will not have a troubled conscience, and Brother Wang Na will never blame him in the future.

Although he wanted to argue, Duan Cunrui did not plan to come forward in person. He learned the lessons of yesterday and no longer openly opposed Li Hanyao; Besides, he is a political envoy, and his official position is high, so he has to leave it until the final decision of who is right and who is wrong, and his subordinates have come forward to debate, such as Ma Zhifu, who has already stepped forward.

Governor Ma stood at the foot of the hall and looked around at the crowd: "This official thinks: Li Chun should be convicted." Manslaughter is also culpable. What is manslaughter? The key lies in the word 'mistake'. Lord Fire says he doesn't have a heart. If he had a heart, he had not killed by mistake, but had committed murder with intent and would be sentenced to beheading. Now it is time to be convicted of manslaughter. ”

These words are very pertinent.

The prefect of Ningbo immediately agreed.

Other officials chimed in.

Duan Cunrui looked at Huo Huangying.

Li Hanyao also looked at Huo Huangying, seeing what she said, she didn't plan to help her, today's case must be reviewed by Huo Huangying herself!

Huo Huangying is no longer as smiling and lazy as before, sitting solemnly behind the public case, elegant and majestic, even the tone of speech has changed, and she is no longer delicate. She said categorically: "This official doesn't agree!" ”

Ma Zhifu said: "What is the opinion of Lord Huo? ”

Huo Huangying said: "If there is no section on Li Ming's abuse of his wife, and there is no Wan family present, it is Li Chun and Li Ming's two brothers who have a fight, and the nature is different, even if Li Chun accidentally injured Li Ming, he must be convicted; However, Li Chun is to protect his sister-in-law. ”

Ma Zhifu hurriedly said: "It's all accidental injuries, what's the difference?" ”

Huo Huang Ying said: "Of course it's different. Ladies and gentlemen, at that time, Li Ming was grabbing Wan's hair and crashing into the rockery, should Li Chun just watch Li Ming crash into Wan's death? Or come forward to help his brother? ”

Ma Zhifu said: "Then he shouldn't have pushed his brother to the rockery, if his subordinates are measured, Li Ming will not die." ”

Huo Huangying said: "It is inevitable that there will be a miss in the pull. ”

Ma Zhifu said: "So the official said that he killed by mistake." ”

Huo Huangying said: "It's hard for Li Chun not to miss. This is not an ordinary quarrel between Li Ming and his wife, if it is an ordinary dispute, Li Chun should not be inserted into it, but Li Ming is tyrannical and often abuses his wife. - This can be testified by the Li family's parents and neighbors. Li Chun saw that his sister-in-law was in danger, how could he not save him? Moreover, when he saved his sister-in-law, he also defended Li Ming, afraid that Li Ming would make trouble. Who knew that Li Ming actually suffered a head injury, and he could withstand the push and collision on weekdays, but he couldn't withstand it at that time, so he died in Huangquan. ”

Before the words fell, the Li family spoke one after another.

They want to protect Li Chun, how dare they cover it up again!

Father Li said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, my eldest son is very unsuccessful, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he has a big temper, and he often beats his daughter-in-law to get angry." ”

Mother Li then beat her chest and cried: "I didn't say it before, it was to see the flesh that fell from me!" What can I do, no matter how hard it is, I can only swallow it myself. Today I opened up and said: That's a scourge, a scourge to me and his father! The eldest daughter-in-law married him, and she also had a hard time......"

With that, she turned to Wan.

Wan was in tears.

Mother Li repented: "Daughter-in-law, my mother scolded you just now, don't complain about your mother." I'm in a hurry! ——" Wan said with tears in his eyes: "I don't blame my mother. "-"Mother knows that you have suffered by marrying the one who killed a thousand knives." The one who killed a thousand knives died, did my mother say half a word about you? Didn't say that. Because my father and I have long expected that this person who killed a thousand knives will die sooner or later, and we parents just ask him not to affect the Li family. My eldest son is not a good person, but my younger son doesn't treat people well, the neighborhood knows it, I don't believe you go to my house to inquire. I can't watch him be wronged! He was very kind-hearted, in order to save his sister-in-law, not to push his brother. Ask the adults to be gracious. Please! ”

After speaking, he kowtowed.

Father Li also kowtowed vigorously.

Wan Shi even said: "This incident started because of the little woman, the uncle is to protect the little woman, if the adult wants to judge, let the little woman confess." ”

When the people outside saw this situation, they all cried, and they all said, "Li Ming's scourge is dead, what do you want to do to affect my younger brother?" ”

Huo Huangying took the opportunity to say again: "This official is not excusing Li Chun, the situation is really special. You can think about it: If it wasn't for Li Chun who encountered this incident that day, replaced by Li's father and Li's mother, and saw the eldest son beating the eldest daughter-in-law, would he step forward to stop him? ”

Li's father and mother said in unison: "I will definitely stop it." ”

Huo Huangying said: "Who will stop it, with Li Ming's injury at that time, under the pull, it will inevitably collide to death!" Is this Li Chunzhi's fault? ”

Ma Zhifu is not a talented person, his qualifications are average, and he will only judge cases according to the provisions of the law on weekdays.

Zhao Chaozong made a decision in his heart.

Duan Cunrui also made a decision. He looked at Huo Huangying with blazing eyes, and had to admit in his heart: Trying a simple civil dispute case so clearly, regardless of identity, this is a talented woman who is definitely capable of serving as the magistrate of Xiazhao County. He certainly can't reverse black and white.

There is another point: the people do not hold officials accountable. If Li's father and mother do not hold the younger son accountable for manslaughtering the eldest son, the government cannot sentence him.

Why didn't Huo Huangying mention this?

Did you forget?

Duan Cunrui felt that she hadn't forgotten and was waiting for them. He glanced at Master Dong as the inspector of Huzhou, and said at the same time: "Li Chun is not guilty!" ”

At the same time, Zhao Chaozong also spoke.
