Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sin is not punishable
I have to say that Wang's move was simply beyond everyone's expectations, and the speed was so fast that everyone couldn't think about it at all. There were also such fights in previous court trials, but there has never been a woman like Wang who took the initiative to attack and bite her ears.
By the time everyone reacted, Kang Bran had already let out a scream like killing a pig. For a time, Kang Bran was bleeding all over his face. If it weren't for the timely pulling of the officials, I was afraid that it would not be half an ear that would be bitten off.
For a while, the always timid and frightened closed his eyes, not daring to look at the scene in front of him. There are also those who are full of righteous indignation and can't help but want to beat Kang Bran for a long time, and they feel very relieved and keep applauding.
It was Wang, who slowly knelt on the ground, her mouth full of blood, coupled with her hideous expression, which was a little scary. No matter what others thought, at this moment, she couldn't tell whether it was pleasure or pain in her heart.
Her daughter, the daughter she held in the palm of her hand.
Unexpectedly, even several bitter masters, including the Ye family, were not afraid or flinched because of the bloody scene, they just stared at Kang Yan like that, feeling that he deserved it. Liu even got up and went to help Wang, comforting for a while.
The Liu family was abducted by their son, so naturally they were not worried about being sold to the kiln. However, the thought that her son might be forced to work every day somewhere, doing the heaviest work, without clothes and food, made her heart twist like a knife.
To say, Wang's bite is good! Even if she doesn't go, she'll do it again.
Ye sat quietly, although his face was angry, he couldn't see what was going on in his heart. Ye Feng and Chen Jixing were standing next to her on the left and right, for fear that something would happen to her.
Before it was changed, Ye had already done it. But now is different from the past, and she still has a sense of proportion. It's just that in this situation, Ye Feng began to regret it in his heart, and he shouldn't have brought the Ye family here.
It's better to complain in the future than to have an accident now.
Just when Ye Feng thought that the Ye family would always wait for the verdict to be announced, unexpectedly, the Ye family stood up all of a sudden, and walked towards Kang Yan with a big belly.
Chen Jixing hurriedly walked up, grabbed Ye's family, and didn't let her continue to move forward. Although Kang Yan has been made miserable, it does not mean that he has no combat effectiveness.
Ye Feng also thought that the Ye family would go crazy and beat and scold Kang Yan, after all, she must be holding a breath in her heart. And the person who was abducted in the family was also a woman.
Seeing Ye Shi step forward, everyone stopped talking, and even the officials were stunned.
They didn't know what the big-bellied Ye would do. Look at that belly, it looks like it's about to give birth. If that's the case, they really can't handle it.
It is the first time that a pregnant woman with a big belly has gone to court, and she is still a bitter master.
Unexpectedly, to everyone's surprise, Ye knelt down and kowtowed a few times to Kang Yan, and then said: "I won't beat you, I won't scold you, I just ask you to tell me if you abducted and sold a girl named Qianyu eight years ago." She was only one year old, she was just talking, and she had just learned to call Daddy. ”
As she spoke, Ye Shi seemed to cover her chest in pain, and continued with tears streaming down her face: "That was the first time she called me mother. Since then, eight years have passed, and I haven't heard it again. She's only a year old, and there's no way you're going to sell her to a kiln, right? ”
At this time, it was hot, and the Ye family could hardly support it, but he refused to leave, and after resting, he continued: "You just need to tell me where you sold her, I swear, as long as I can find her, I will definitely not be embarrassed by you." But if you don't tell me, I'll kill you even if I try my best. No matter what the official does with you, even if you come out of prison one day, I will find you. ”
After speaking, he kowtowed to Ye's again.
Seeing Ye like this, the Wang family, whose mouth was covered with blood on his face, also pounced. When Kang Yan saw her coming again, she was so frightened that she urinated directly, and there was a stench at the scene.
He thought that the Wang family was going to bite him again.
Who knows, the Wang family is the same as the Ye family, kowtowing to Kang Yan and saying: "Yes, yes, what Sister Ye said is right, my daughter was only one year old at the time, she couldn't even speak, it was impossible to sell it in the kiln, right." Yes, yes, no one likes to bring a milk doll, isn't that a trouble for yourself! Yes, it must be so. If you tell me where my daughter is, you will take away my ears, and I will not complain. ”
As he spoke, he was afraid that everyone would not believe him, so he said to the crowd of onlookers: "Then, there are so many people here, everyone can be a witness." Okay, you say, you say it! I beg you......"
When the onlookers saw such a scene, they couldn't help crying for a while.
Which mother is not like this, everything is good to him when the child is there, and when the child is sick, I can't wait to suffer for him. Now that the child has been sold, he would rather give up his ears just to know the whereabouts of the child.
Bai Zhixian is even more embarrassed, to say that he has been an official for so many years, he has never seen any strange cases. However, this is the first time I've seen something like today.
The bitter lords were angry at first, and now they began to plead again, which was unheard of.
However, he knew in his heart that if he didn't make a move, he really didn't know what direction things would go.
So, with a startled shot, Bai Zhixian said loudly: "Silence! Quiet! This official repeats, the prisoner Kang Yan, a native of Qingshan County, is now Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, and has abducted 16 babies over the years and sold them everywhere in exchange for money, can you plead guilty? ”
Before Kang Yan could speak, Kang's family, who was sitting in the back hall with Gu Xixi eavesdropping, stood up suddenly and rushed out of the inner hall as if he had been stimulated by something.
Before everyone could react, they saw a woman with outstanding temperament who could not tell her specific age rush out, all plain and clean, with no ornaments on her head.
She rushed to Kang Yan with hatred in her eyes, and she didn't hit him, but just gritted her teeth and asked a sentence that everyone was a little confused about: "Your surname is Kang?" ”
Although he didn't know why the woman asked this, Kang Yan nodded mechanically and said with some fear, "Yes." ”
"Good, good, good." Kang smiled sadly and slowly entered the inner hall by himself.
Seeing that Kang Shi had entered the inner hall by himself, Bai Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Kang had lost his child, but he didn't know that Kang would rush out like this.
If there was a fight, he really didn't know what to do.
Gu Xixi saw Kang's walk in, so he took her hand and sat down. Seeing that Gu Xixi's face was full of tears, Kang's only thought that she was sympathetic to herself, and her heart's favorability towards Gu Xixi suddenly rose several times.
It's a pity that what she doesn't know is that Gu Xixi is crying for herself, and she is crying for the child who has no fate with her.
Thinking that the Wang family is just a peasant woman, for the sake of her daughter, she actually has the courage to bite off Kang Yan's ear in front of the public. For the sake of his daughter, Ye's big belly was about to give birth and he had to kneel, just to inquire about his daughter's whereabouts.
But what about her?
The dignified lady of the county, her son was lost, but she could only watch and do nothing.
She hated herself.
"My lord, I ...... I plead guilty. ”
Kang Yan confessed to the crimes alleged by Bai Zhixian and Wang Dayi and his wife, and signed and detained in the presence of everyone.
Finally, the time has come for the final verdict.
Everyone didn't speak, even Kang's and Gu Xixi held their breath, they all wanted to know what happened to Kang Yan.
"Prisoner ...... Bran"
"Slow down, adult." Just when Bai Zhi County was about to announce in public that Kang Yan had been sentenced to exile, someone suddenly shouted.
I have to say that today's court trial is really not smooth, whenever Bai Zhi County wants to announce the verdict, someone will interrupt, or there will be an emergency that will be interrupted.
Seeing Wang Dayi kneeling and shouting that he was going to pause, he was already angry, and he was punished for the crime of roaring in court.
However, today's situation is special, but it is not the time to be angry, so Bai Zhixian said patiently and majestically: "Wang Dayi, what do you have to say?" ”
Wang Dayi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said seriously: "The villain is grateful to the adults for the fair trial, and the villain is also convinced that the adults will not spare this flower." It's just that Xiaomin has only been separated from his son for more than half a month, and he already feels that life is worse than death. And these people in front of them, they have been separated from their children for eight years. ”
As he spoke, Wang Dayi burst into tears. However, none of the onlookers laughed at him, they only felt how pitiful Wang Dayi was, and how hateful Kang Bran was.
"I don't know how they've survived these eight years, and I don't know if they'll ever see their children in their lifetime. Thinking of this, the grass people were glad that they had found their child, but they hated this flower even more. Therefore, the grass people proposed that the flower be sentenced to a final decision. ”
After speaking, Wang Dayi kowtowed a few times.
As soon as Wang Dayi finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers exploded, and someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, my lord, you must sentence him to death." The grass people also seconded. ”
"Yes, if he is still alive, even if he is old and old, he can still abduct the baby again."
"Such a person must die. We don't have such people in Qingshan County. ”
"Kill him! Kill him! ”
For a while, the onlookers shouted one after another to Bai Zhixian to sentence Kang Yan to a decisive decision.
Seeing Bai Zhixian's hesitation, Chen Jixing didn't know where the courage came from, and he also learned from Chen Dayi's kneeling, kowtowed, and shouted in his mouth that he wanted to sentence Kang Yan to be decided.
Bai Zhixian originally thought that Wang Dayi was just asking for compensation, but where did he think that the other party would give him such a problem. You must know that no matter what level of official, there is a law to follow in the judgment of the case, and it is not up to you to have the final say.
In the case of Kang Yan, according to the laws of the dynasty, the sentence of exile should be imposed, not the death that everyone wanted to see.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhixian glanced at the criminal master standing aside.
This master's surname is Gu, and he is quite good at the law, but he failed to succeed repeatedly, so he started to be a master in the county government with peace of mind. Because his surname is Gu, he doesn't know, and he thinks it's a relative of Gu Xixi, so everyone looks up to him.
He knows Bai Zhixian's recent predicament best.
Although he was framed by someone, he really didn't have any political achievements to speak of. At present, there are incidents of Hanako abducting babies and women all over the country, and most of them are sufferers. If Bai Zhi County sentenced this Kang Yan to a decisive decision, although it was a bit risky and had no legal basis, it would definitely deter Hanako in Qingshan County.
As long as Kang Yan is beheaded in public, Hanako, who wants to come to Qingshan County, will definitely flee overnight, and others from other places will not dare to come. In this way, even if Qingshan Xian has no political achievements, it is good if he can occupy the name of no baby lost in the country.
Yin nodded towards Bai Zhixian.
Although Bai Zhixian didn't understand the law, when he saw Master Gu nodded, he went down the steps given by everyone, pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "The prisoner Kang Bran, abducted 16 babies, the crime is unforgivable, the official is now pronounced, beheaded, and executed in three days." ”
Hearing this, the crowd of onlookers burst into applause, all of which praised Baizhi County for its honesty and integrity. It was the Ye family and the Wang family who cried a little weakly, holding each other's hands and cheering each other on.
Ye Shi even said to Kang Yan: "Say it quickly, tell me where my daughter was sold, I will intercede for you, I swear, I will intercede for you." ”
When he heard that he was sentenced to be decided, Kang Yan was already stupid, stunned, where could he still hear what Ye was saying, and he didn't remember what happened seven or eight years ago at all.
The stupid Kang Yan was escorted away by the officials, leaving a few bitter masters to cry there. The crowd also saw the excitement, and gradually dispersed.
When there were only a few bitter masters left in the hall, Kang Shi walked out and said to a few crying women: "Don't cry, it's useless to cry, you can't find the child at all." I'm also the one who lost my son, but I don't give up. I believe that as long as we continue to search, we will eventually find our children. ”
After speaking, Kang took out another fifty taels of silver and stuffed it directly to Wang, and said, "This girl, we all thank you for biting off the ear that killed that day." Thou hast done what we dare not do, and thou shalt take the fifty taels of silver, and when you are free, you will continue to look for your daughter. I don't have a lot of money, and that's a little bit of my heart. I wish you a speedy search for your daughter. ”
With that, Kang left.
The reason why she did this was indeed because she admired Wang very much. Of course, there are some things that she is not easy to say, that is, her father-in-law Yin Liren. It was so hard along the way, she didn't have a trace of complaints, but at this moment, she suddenly looked down on Yin Liren very much.
If it weren't for her identity, or if she didn't think it would be possible for this Kang Yan to go so far away from the capital to abduct and sell her son, she would have pounced on it a long time ago.
If she is replaced, she will only be more ruthless than Wang.
Before Wang could react, Kang turned back and added: "I live in the courtyard next to the Salesian Bureau, if you have time, come to me, all these years, I have been on the road to find the child, and I dare not stop for a moment." Speaking of which, I also have some ideas that we can share. ”
Then, without waiting for Wang to prepare to return the silver, Kang left.
The inner hall is not something that can be entered just by the heart.
Wang thought about it, anyway, Kang said that he lived in the Salesian Bureau, and it was a big deal to find her when he was free. When the time comes, if she doesn't take the money, she can donate it to the Salesian Bureau.
Ye originally wanted to follow Kang's family, wanted to hear her experience, and when she gave birth, she would set off to find a child. However, her stomach suddenly hurt, and after resting for a while, she was a little weak.
Seeing this, Chen Jixing and Ye Feng helped Ye Shi and hurried home.
Ye really didn't dare to stay here anymore in such a situation. If something really happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
For a few days, Ye had no energy and a very poor appetite, no matter what Chen Jixing and Ye Feng said, she had that wilting expression. Ye Feng thought, probably only time can solve this problem.
After waiting for Kang Bran, slowly, Ye will get better, after all, she still has two children in her belly.
The three days were soon here.
Early in the morning, the Ye family urged Ye Feng and Chen Jixing to go, saying that they were going to the county. Hearing this, Ye Feng said in surprise: "Sister, you are pregnant with a child, that kind of scene is always taboo, according to me, don't go, I'll go with my brother-in-law, just come back and tell you." ”
Chen Jixing hurriedly nodded and said: "That's the reason, you just wait at home, since he is sentenced to be decided, he will definitely not be able to escape today." ”
Ye Shi thought about it, and then stopped insisting, and she did feel a little uncomfortable. She has been tossing and turning enough in the past few days, and she is also tired and tired.
There are even rumors that the execution ground is gloomy, which is not good for children.
Fortunately, Ye Ermei already knew about this, so she stayed at home to take care of Ye's family.
When Chen Jixing and Ye Feng arrived in the city, they found that the entrance of the vegetable market had been surrounded by water. Needless to say, after a while, Kang Yan will be here to prostrate and end his life of sin.
Kang's and Gu Xixi had already chosen their seats and sat on the second floor of the tea shop facing the street. Through the window, you can see what is going on below.
No matter how scared Kang Yan was, and whether he wanted to or not, the time had finally come to this moment. Before, after discussing with the master, Bai Zhi County also intended to deter Hanako lurking in Qingshan County.
So, he escorted Kang Yan out of the street early.
I don't know who took the lead in the first to start throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him, anyway, at this moment, Kang Bran was already covered in these things, and it stenched in the summer.
I have to say that Master Gu's judgment was right, there were really a few flowers lurking in the crowd of onlookers. Before, they only didn't believe it when they heard that Kang Yan was sentenced to be beheaded, because this was unprecedented in the whole country, and they didn't believe that Baizhi County had this courage.
As a result, Bai Zhixian not only sentenced Kang Yan to be decided, but also dragged him to parade through the streets.
Seeing that Kang Yan was tortured, he was no one or a ghost, and several people were so frightened that they trembled all over, and they didn't dare to say a word, pretending to be passers-by in a proper manner, for fear of being recognized.
When the time came, the executioner waved his sword, and Kang Yan's head fell neatly. At first glance, these flowers couldn't be more real. So, after several people discussed, they escaped from Qingshan County overnight, and vowed never to come back for the rest of their lives.
This Baizhi County is too ruthless, and this Qingshan County is not suitable for them to continue to stay. It is indeed important to earn money, but it also requires life to spend.
Although he didn't see that historic moment, he heard a burst of cheers from the crowd below, and Kang knew in his heart that Kang Yan was dead. Through the window, Kang left tears of sadness.
That scum is actually surnamed Kang, how can he be worthy.
Yin Ping was also in the crowd of onlookers at the moment, and Ye Feng was also there. It's a pity that Gu Xixi and Kang, who were on the second floor, didn't see it. It's okay to take care of it, even if you see it, it's empty joy.
It's Kang's, leaving regrets in vain. But it doesn't matter, Kang's and Yin Ping are about to reunite.
Many of the onlookers were beggars who played a big role in rescuing Wang Hu that day. They were also happy when they saw Kang Bran's Fufa.
There are those who are sensitive, thinking that if it were a few years earlier, maybe they would not have been abducted.
Seeing that there were many beggars among the onlookers, after thinking about it, Chen Dayi went directly to the stage and said to the beggars and onlookers: "Everyone, the reason why my son was rescued depends on your efforts. It's just that I, Wang Dayi, just opened a grocery store, and my income is very limited. Last night, Uchiko and I calculated that over the years, there were a total of 452 taels of silver left in addition to expenses. Now, in front of everyone, I will take out all this money. I know that there are many of you, and you may not be able to share a tael of silver, but this is a little bit of my heart, and I hope you will not be too little. ”
After saying that, he pulled Yin Ping and the monkey to the stage and handed them the silver.
It's a pity that Kang has already turned around and is ready to go downstairs; Ye Feng also turned around with Chen Jixing, preparing to go to the Crane Year Hall to find Dr. Zhang.
Ye's situation has not been very good these days, and if it continues like this, maybe something will happen. There haven't been any surgeries or anything like that these days, and if something happens to the Ye family because of this, it will be really terrible.
Listening to Wang Dayi's words, all the beggars and honors, on weekdays, they are all the objects of expulsion, and at this moment, they are the protagonists.
Yin Ping was not good at calculation, let alone distribution, so he gave the silver to several elderly beggars, who counted and distributed it. Anyway, everyone is here, and I'm not afraid that they will swallow it with their conscience.
This old beggar is also very powerful, and after thinking about it, he said to everyone, so let's take one or two first, and we will buy all the rest.
When everyone heard this, it was extremely fair, and they all spontaneously lined up one by one and stepped forward to receive the money.
Ye Feng was about to leave, but Wang Dayi grabbed him and said, "This little brother is easy for me to find." If you hadn't come up with that idea, I might not have been able to find it, and as you saw just now, all my furniture has been scattered, but my shop is still there, so you can only pick up whatever you need. ”
Ye Feng thought in his heart, this is a bold one, no wonder he has only saved a few hundred taels of silver for so many years. However, he was also infected by his emotions, because he said: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about." Don't be careless in the future. We'll have something to do when we go home, so let's leave it at that. ”
At the moment when Ye Feng was about to turn around, he suddenly found that the person standing next to the lean and lean little beggar on the stage was so familiar.
Who is he?
I saw him standing aside, looking lonely, his hair was not long, but not short, and his clothes were obviously ill-fitting.
Could it be...... Ye Feng was taken aback by this idea of his own.
If it was really Yin Ping, how could he be here, shouldn't he be in the Nameless Temple?
Yin Ping stood beside him, watching everyone divide the silver, and he didn't know what it was like. How he wished it was himself who was rescued this time.
That day, standing outside the yamen, through the crowd, watching Lin hug Wang Hu, his heart was full of envy, that was the first time he knew what maternal love was.
Chen Jixing saw Ye Feng in a daze, so he asked him what he was thinking. Ye Feng came to his senses and said to Chen Jixing: "Brother-in-law, you are waiting for me here, I seem to have seen an acquaintance, I want to confirm it." ”
After speaking, Ye Feng walked towards the platform.
It would be nice if it was really yinping.
