Chapter 180: Kindness from the Court
Yu Qiuyu knew the person who came, but because the sky was relatively dark, Yu Qiuyu couldn't see her face clearly, so he looked at the moonlight for a while before recognizing her.
"The girl of the Yu family, the girl of the Yu family."
The woman fell to her knees with a sudden thud.
Yu Qiuyu looked at the woman's actions in surprise, and she asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Yu family girl, I know that our family is a man who kills a thousand knives, he didn't do it right, he shouldn't have ruined the rice fields of the imperial court, he was too jealous, really, he was blinded by lard for a while, please, please be merciful and let him go, there are old and young in our family, I really can't do without him, please, please."
The other party was crying while talking, and kowtowed to Yu Qiuyu.
made Yu Qiuyu extremely flustered and caught off guard.
"However, if you do something wrong, you will do something wrong, and I can't ignore the laws and discipline of the court."
In fact, Yu Qiuyu was also quite difficult.
She is a very upright person, and she is principled in her work.
But now this woman's plea is so "soft-hearted".
At this moment, Yu Qiuyu fell into deep danger.
"Qiu Yu, if you don't say it, I won't say it, everyone won't say it, won't it be fine? As for the sins made by our family, we are willing to pay it back, really, we are willing to pay it back, what you lack is nothing more than rice, we are willing to make up for the rice you have lost, no matter how much, we are willing to make up for it, so please don't remember the villain, let go of our family's family. ”
Make up the shortfall?
It's a good idea.
Yu Qiuyu pondered for a while.
Here the woman pleaded with herself, she could not rest without saying anything, if this woman had any more to do at their doorstep because of excessive grief or something, their family would jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it.
In order to avoid those unnecessary troubles.
In order to be able to get a good night's sleep.
Yu Qiuyu silently pondered the language in his heart for a while, and then slowly spoke, "You go back first, I am not a ruthless person, if I can have a way to live, I will naturally seek it for you, as for the law, I will talk about it tomorrow, after all, it is not yet the time to open the court, and none of us can say for sure." ”
The implication is that it's useless for you to look for me now, I can't be the master at all.
The woman kowtowed, wiped her tears and left the Yu family.
Yu Qiuyu leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
She originally caught them for a simple purpose, but looking at the current situation, she couldn't help but be simple.
Yu Qiuyu went back to the room to rest, and the woman was so disturbed that she almost couldn't sleep.
Lying on the bed, Yu Qiuyu tossed and turned.
She was glad that she had caught the few people who destroyed the rice fields, so that she would not miss the appointment with Zhao Zhichen, but she was worried about tomorrow.
If it is really dealt with according to the laws of the imperial court, even if they will not be beheaded, they will not be exiled to serve hard labor, etc., their families will lose a very important labor force, and their families will lose a pillar.
The punishment is not heavy, nor is it light.
It's really hard to get tangled and embarrassed.
What should I do?
In this entanglement and embarrassment, Yu Qiuyu fell asleep deeply.
She slept late, and when she woke up in the morning and dressed up, she could see a dark green under her eyes.
That's the dark circles under her eyes.
Yu Yifan had to deal with important official business, so he got up early and left.
Knowing the news that Yu Yifan had gone to the government from Yu Yiran's mouth, Yu Qiuyu sighed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was really a little worried about getting up in the morning, and Yu Yifan would ask herself how she would deal with yesterday's events.
However, as a reporter, she Yu Qiuyu must attend the court.
Yu Qiuyu made breakfast and ate it, Yu Qiuyu suddenly asked Yu Yiran, "Are you okay in the private school recently?" ”
Yu Yiran was stunned for a moment, knowing what Yu Qiuyu was going to ask, and nodded, but his expression was a little gloomy.
"It's still like that, they don't dare to bully me, but they don't dare to ignore me."
He felt very wronged, he didn't do anything wrong, but he was treated like that.
Seeing Yu Yiran's sad and sad appearance, Yu Qiuyu felt very guilty.
Before, she may not have understood why Yu Yiran was suddenly ostracized by her classmates, but after what happened last night, Yu Qiuyu suddenly figured it out completely.
In fact, this exclusion is likely to come from oneself.
Because their rice fields are growing so well, they are jealous, and Yu Yifan is also very proud of officialdom, so they are jealous of their own family, since they can't do it to themselves, then they will attack Yu Yiran.
These children were suddenly punished for targeting Yu Yier, and to be honest, they were quite aggrieved.
They treated Yu Yi like that, mostly because of the instigation of their parents.
But they paid a heavy price for this instigation.
Yu Qiuyu kind of understood what she should do.
After breakfast, Yu Yiran picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the private school.
Yu Qiuyu hastily cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and after washing the dishes and chopsticks, he also cleaned up himself and walked towards the court.
She came at a coincidental time, just in time for Ascension.
The few captured villagers knelt on the ground, their faces were as white as earth, and some of them had nothing to love.
It is not Yu Yifan who is trying the case this time, after all, this matter is related to her Yu Qiuyu, if Yu Yifan is allowed to try this case, it will inevitably be a little suspicious, and it will be suspected of being a sister who protects herself.
Therefore, sitting in the public court this time is the most fair and selfless county official in Lingnan.
Yu Qiuyu appeared in court as the person who complained, and she did not regard herself as the prefect's sister.
When he came to the court, Yu Qiuyu didn't talk nonsense, and arched his hand to the county official.
"Yu Qiuyu, a folk girl, has seen the master of the blue sky."
Yu Qiuyu's attitude is sincere, and there is no sense of superiority in her.
Seeing Yu Qiuyu so humble, the county magistrate was very satisfied with Yu Qiuyu's performance, nodded, and motioned for Yu Qiuyu to stand aside and start hearing the case.
"Chai Lu, Chai Qingyun, Chai Zhizhi, the three of you deliberately destroyed the fields of the imperial court and destroyed the things of the public family, as well as Shang Tianyin and Shang Yichao, the two of you obviously knew that the three brothers of the Chai family were wrong, but they did not dissuade them in time, but instead acted for the tiger and complied, which is also unforgivable."
Yu Qiuyu felt that someone outside the court was watching her.
She staggered her gaze and looked out, and the woman she had seen last night was looking at her, her face full of pleading, and even kept gesturing at her, begging her to intercede.
Yu Qiuyu's mood was a little complicated.
She is none other than Chai Lu's wife.
The three brothers of the Chai family and the two brothers of the Shang family had ugly faces, they lowered their heads, and when they destroyed the rice fields last night, they were caught by those officials, and they could not deny this kind of thing.
They bowed their heads in resignation.
"County magistrate, we plead guilty, what do you say?"
Chai Lu broke the jar and broke it, and there was no hope.
The county magistrate stared at the several perpetrators kneeling below, his eyes narrowed, and he was slightly displeased.
Yu Qiuyu was on the side, and it was also uncomfortable.
She's in the midst of a tough celestial battle.
Should she let these people go? Or did he let the county magistrate execute these people?
She didn't want to let it go, but the woman's begging outside the court was so poignant, and the woman had invited her to her house to eat snacks and drink honey water, and she was one of the few people who helped her when the Yu family was down.
But let it go, it's not enough to set an example.
The county magistrate pondered for a long time, raised the shocking wood, and prepared to announce the sentence.
At this time, Yu Qiuyu finally came back to his senses from the entanglement between letting go and not letting go.
She hurriedly stepped forward, and took advantage of the gap between the shocking trees and the stunned trees, and made a gesture towards the county magistrate, and spoke.
"Back to Master Qingtian, I have something to say."
The county magistrate narrowed his eyes, "You say." ”
Yu Qiuyu took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said, "I think it's okay, our Lingnan is far away from the imperial court and has become a self-styled person. Sometimes the laws of the court do not have to be followed, and it is good to stop in moderation. ”
The county lord's eyes drooped, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"The women of the people beg their lords to spare their capital crimes for the time being, and that the punishment of exile can be spared."
As soon as Yu Qiuyu said this, the county master asked in disbelief, "You mean, the official wants to let them go?" ”
She was the one who reported the crime.
She was the one who said she would let them go.
What's the matter, Yu Qiuyu is watching him in court?
Thinking about it, a little displeasure appeared on the county official's face.
Yu Qiuyu pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, adults only need to punish them slightly." ”
"Oh?"
Yu Qiuyu's attitude was too elusive, and the county official looked at Yu Qiuyu carefully, and his narrow Danfeng eyes were full of suspicion.
"As for the punishment, the folk girls have to mention that the punishment that the folk women ask for is that the rice they destroyed will be returned three times as much when the autumn harvest comes."
This is the punishment that Yu Qiuyu wants most at the moment.
Give her back the rice you owe her, and the rest is whatever you want.
However, tripling the amount of rice is actually quite a lot, and it is enough to teach them a lesson.
The county magistrate looked at Yu Qiuyu for a long time.
Feeling the scrutinizing and inquiring gaze from the county officials, Yu Qiuyu humbly lowered his head and never looked up.
She was waiting for the county magistrate's answer.
In the process of waiting for the superior official to answer the question, as a subordinate and a subordinate, you cannot raise your head in this process, which is the rule and the respect that the superior official should have.
