95 Tough battles depend on public opinion
"Really? I don't know Lord Hong's verdict, this king may take a look", King Jing's figure also slowly emerged from behind Feng Chenhao.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Jing", Lord Hong and the others all knelt on the ground.
"Get up, and go on with your trial, and the king will see. I have long heard that my yamen in the north is serving public law enforcement, and I just took a look at it today", Mu Jingyi said lightly.
Hong Xianling's eyes shrank, and he shook his head behind him, and a thin, shriveled old man retreated from behind the curtain.
Mu Jingyi had already noticed it, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he didn't speak.
"Don't give His Royal Highness King Jing a seat yet!" Hong County Commander yelled at the officials.
Feng Chenhao raised his eyebrows, it seems that he still has to make a name for himself, otherwise he will have to do something fake.
"Is this going to hit a prisoner?" Feng Chenhao asked.
"Your Royal Highness, this woman roared in court and obstructed the official from judging the case, so according to the law of Da Chu, give her a lesson"
Lord Hong did not face Feng Chenhao, turned his head to King Jing, and said seriously.
"Really? Then continue", Mu Jingyi looked at Hong County Ling coldly.
Hong Xian Ling looked at King Jing's face and was a little embarrassed. He is not a fool, these two came over at this time, saying that they were not aiming at the Luo family, who would believe it?
If you kill it, forget it, if you don't kill it, let that little girl take a bite, and say that it will be difficult to do it.
"My lord, Lord Shangguan is here", and was in a dilemma, a servant came to report, and Lord Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Jing", Shangguan Qiao was dressed in official clothes and had a smile on his face.
The people below today have really done a good thing, without the little girl of the Luo family, even if they can't stop the rise of the glass kiln, they can also calculate a bad breath, no matter what today, the Luo family must be punished heavily, and if they don't die, they will have to peel off the skin!
"Lord Shangguan is so well-informed", Mu Jingyi said coldly.
"Where is it, Xia Guan happened to pass by here, and heard that there are wicked people who do not respect Chu Law and do not understand filial piety, so they came to take a look. This matter must be severely punished, otherwise what loyalty will I talk about in the future? ”
"Oh? Is it? I don't know where Lord Shangguan heard about it? Mu Jingyi asked.
"This? Since it was discussed by the passers-by", Shangguan Qiao was not in a hurry.
"Really? Lord Hong, continue to try the case, this king and Lord Shangguan are watching here."
"His Royal Highness King Mengjing will not give up, then the official will ask from the beginning", Lord Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and did not say anything about fighting.
"Luo Youxi, the official asks you, what is the so-called reason why your grandmother sued your second grandfather?"
"Lord Qiyu, my second grandfather's family has a strong property and lives in a brick house, but my biological mother and our family are crowded in a small house. The second grandfather's family has servants to serve, but his mother has no one to call. The second grandfather's family, knowing that his grandmother wanted to share the property for them, but he didn't comply, it was really unfilial and disobedient", Luo Youxi said loudly.
Luo Xiaoqiao felt funny when he heard it, this rotten system, no matter what the parents do wrong, the children must do it, and if the parents kill someone, the children must help hide it? !
But that's the law of this society! Absurd and indefensible. In the twenty-four filial pieties, isn't there an allusion to Guo Ju's burial?
"Luo Xinjian, you keep shouting that you are wronged, what do you have to say about what your nephew said?" Hong County Ling asked.
"Back to the county master, my mother broke off with our second room many years ago. As a son, I shouldn't have said anything about my mother, but today, I have to say it. ”
Grandpa Luo choked up: "The reason why my mother broke off our relationship with us is because my son was sick a few years ago, and my daughter-in-law was also sick and needed money to survive. My mother didn't want to continue to help us, so she broke off. When breaking off the family, it was very clear that the mother followed the eldest brother to support the elderly, and most of the fields and real estate were given to the eldest brother's family. There are letters of renunciation at that time, as well as the handprints of the villagers."
Grandpa Luo took out a piece of paper from his arms.
"My lord, at that time, the matter was in a hurry, and the grass people were appointed by the imperial court to go to other places to take office, so they broke off their relatives in a hurry, not what the second grandfather said, for fear that their family would be dragged down. And as soon as the letter of severance was signed, the grandmother regretted it, so the letter of severance did not go to the ancestral hall, nor did she file a case in the yamen, so it doesn't count", Luo Youxi said unhurriedly.
Luo Xiaoqiao's pupils shrank, and he was really a scholar, which was really calculating.
"My lord, if the letter of severance is true or false, just ask the villagers," Luo Xiaoqiao said, pointing to the boiling people outside the door.
The entrance of the county government was already full of villagers from Luojia Village, and Luo Jinrong, the leader, held a petition in both hands.
"My lord, more than 300 households in our village are willing to testify for Luo Xinjian's family, the letter of breaking off relatives is true, after breaking off relatives, Luo Xinkang's family left, this is to see that the Luo family is developed, and they want to come back to take advantage"
"My lord, in fact, it's not Luo Xinjian who is not filial, it's Luo Xinkang, we saw with our own eyes a few days ago that Mrs. Luo was very sloppy by them, if it weren't for Luo Xinjian's family, now the old lady doesn't know whether to die or live."
"That's it, the old lady is so confused, helping the wicked to oppress the good people, my lord, if Luo Xinkang wants to sue Luo Xinjian, we will also sue him, accuse him of falsely accusing the good people! We are all witnesses! ”
"Shut up", Hong Xian Ling was shocked, and his face was a little ugly.
"Wei ...... Wu ......", the shouts of the officials on both sides suppressed the voices of the people.
Even Mrs. Luo knelt on the ground and trembled, not knowing what to think.
"Regardless of whether the letter of severance is true or not, is it possible, your mother is still alive, so you don't care?" Hong County Ling pointed at Grandpa Luo and asked.
"My lord, you can casually ask the villagers, how is our family to the old lady? Is it really unfilial?
My grandfather sent me three meals a day, all of the best things he made at home.
My grandmother had a stroke, and Luo Youxi asked the doctor to prescribe ginseng regeneration pills, two taels of silver a day, no matter how expensive it was, we also bought it for the old lady to eat, you can ask about these. The grass people have documents here", Luo Xiaoqiao said eloquently.
"Could it be that just a foolish word to the old lady made us admit what we had never done? Just let the filial son bear the infamy of unfilial piety? Let those pickled people become the name of filial piety? ”
"What exactly is filial piety?"
"You're a good talker!" Hongxian made a shocking crackling sound.
"Knock knock knock ......" The sound of drums sounded again.
"Master, there are scholars beating drums outside", the official rushed in in a panic.
"Let them wait," Hong said.
"Sir, he'...... There are too many of them", the official was a little uneasy.
"What's wrong with the number of people? Do they dare to rebel? ”
Feng Chenhao couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's really lively today."
The sound of "knock ......" drums continued to come out, which had affected the verdict.
"Let's go, let's go out and have a look, such a anxious drum, don't have a big deal", Mu Jingyi said and stood up.
The Hong County Order wanted the officials to arrest the people first, and then talk about the case in front of him after the trial. But seeing that King Jing had gone out, he had no choice but to follow.
As soon as he went out, he was startled by a bunch of people in Wuyangyang in front of him.
Some young people held up white banners with large bold characters on them: "Father is not kind, son is not filial", "Son does not teach, father is wrong", "Ah Yi flatters, trap relatives and unrighteousness"
Hongxian Ling swallowed his saliva, and the crowd in front of him was surging, led by scholars, all of whom were blushing and thick-necked.
Feng Chenhao couldn't help laughing, this look is from Luo Xiaoqiao's handwriting, there are still a few people who borrowed from his Feng family, and they are fanning the fire in the crowd.
The scholars stood steadily, and Luo Xiaoqiao's hand slowly loosened.
This trick is a rights protection trick to fight against real estate bosses to reduce prices, and the law does not hold the public accountable.
It's just that I never thought that the scholars would be crazy and so bloody, which is really terrifying, but you have to take it.
The scholars kept chanting slogans in bold letters, and in the middle of the crowd, there were several vulnerable women crying, crying about their miserable lives.
These people are not crazy.
"Lord Wang, look at this ......", this is obviously not a scene that Hong County Ling can control.
Could it be that he dared to suppress it bloodily? Don't say that people haven't done anything, even if they do, there is still King Jing.
"What do you want?" Mu Jingyi hooked his lips and asked with a full temperament, and the internal force was wrapped in the voice, echoing in mid-air.
"His Royal Highness King Jing, please make the decision for us", Hulala knelt down for a large part.
"You say", Mu Jingyi pointed to the scholar at the head.
"Back to Your Highness, we are just asking for the people's lives, but we don't understand who to ask for their lives and how to ask for their lives, so there is a situation today", the scholar said clearly with a stutter.
The scholar pointed to the ragged men and women in the crowd: "Your Highness, please see, these are my people of Dachu, but they live so miserably, it is not that they are not industrious, nor that they have bad conduct, but because they were sold by their parents and relatives. ”
……
The scholar kept talking about the experiences of several families, and it was really the listener who cried.
I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Is filial piety just for us to oppress our children?" Could it be that filial piety is to let generations of women, daughters-in-law continue to oppress daughters-in-law after they become mothers-in-law? ”
"Choking", the officials are out of the body.
"Don't get excited, sit down", the scholar at the head shouted.
"We are waiting for a solution on the ground, asking for life for the people, the saint is not afraid, and I also ask King Jing to be the master."
Looking at the large number of students who sat down in an instant, the officials and Lord Hong instantly sweated their backs.
"Thank God there was no rebellion", they murmured, "but fortunately the scholars took it themselves"
That's not right.
Lord Hong is a little pondering, the scholars came to make trouble, and they took it by themselves, how do you feel that this matter is under control?
Lord Shangguan was crowded in front of people, and he didn't dare to speak, although he was rampant in the officialdom, he really hadn't encountered this kind of battle.
Most of the people in Wuyang are famous, I'm afraid that all the people from the north are here.
This matter is too big, and he is afraid that one will accidentally detonate everyone's sensitive nerves.
He subconsciously looked at the group of scholars, they no longer shouted, but sat silently, the cold wind of winter blowing the brim of their hats, a cold and solemn.
From intense to silent, it looks uniform. This must have been premeditated, Shangguan Qiao was extremely shocked in his heart, when did it start? And who? Why didn't you notice it before?
"Luo Xiaoqiao, this matter is similar to your family matter, what do you say?" King Jing turned around and asked Luo Xiaoqiao.
"Since His Royal Highness asked the people to come to the people's daughter, the people's daughter dared to say it. The folk girl feels that this filial piety, which is a virtue we are born with, must be carried forward. However, no matter what you do, it will become a murderous weapon for people with a heart, just like these people, just like my family."
Luo Xiaoqiao looked around and continued: "People say that raising children to prevent old age, there is an old family and a treasure. But children are not piglets, children will also have children, if grandparents oppress their parents, as the children of grandchildren, should they come out to do their filial piety and protect their parents, or should they fulfill their parents' filial piety and protect their grandparents? ”
Therefore, the folk girl dared to ask the prince to give an order, to pursue filial piety sensibly, not to be foolish. From now on, if the child does not agree, the parents are not allowed to sell the child at will. If there is evidence to prove that the children do not have unfilial remarks, they cannot just rely on the words of the elders to conclude the lawsuit."
"But in the same way, if a child is not filial, if a neighbor reports it and confirms it, it will be severely punished."
"Well said", the scholar at the head shouted loudly: "Please also ask His Highness to give an order"
……
The Luo family was finally acquitted.
An additional one was added to the law of the Northland. Shangguan Qiao wanted to stop it, but this was the will of the people, and King Jing's strong admiration, so he couldn't stop it.
Su Kongqing's eyes narrowed and narrowed.
Feng Chenhao patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Can you take it?" ”
"Cousin, the little girl's hand is really beautiful"
Mu Jingyi nodded: "This is what she said about public opinion, she said, whoever controls public opinion can influence public opinion." The idea of publishing a newspaper, you find someone to pay attention to. ”
