Chapter 236: Extended Sentence
But he couldn't really let him die, that was his only son.? Follow? Dream?. lā
Xie Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and gritted his teeth at the subordinate who was panicking: "Send him some food, let him wait in prison honestly, and use the money to ransom him after the verdict of the Criminal Department." Let the eldest grandmother find a way to have a good relationship with the wife of the waiter of the criminal department, at least let him feel better before the sentence is handed down. ”
Lin Qingwan was also giving some gifts to the wife of the official of the Criminal Department, she instructed Lin Yubin to write a gift list and pack the selected gifts one by one, "Even if it is a suppen from us when we return to Beijing." ”
Lin Yubin twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's been too long." ”
It's been almost two months since they returned to the capital, but Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "We were busy before." ”
Lin Yubin asked, "Does my aunt want them to judge early or late when she gives them gifts?" ”
"Of course, it's a late verdict," Lin Qingwan hooked her lips and smiled: "The later this case is decided, the better it will be for us." ”
She had only heard the words of a prince who had committed the same crime as the people in her modern homeland, and whether it was private, at least in law.
However, in this era, the class is different, and even the gender is different, and the standard of punishment for crime is also different, which is clearly written in the law.
Commoners and scholars, slaves and masters, women and men, the same crime, the former is a heavy sentence, the latter can be lightly sentenced, and even after the judgment, money can be used to atone for the crime.
Unfortunately, Xie Yiyang didn't kill anyone and was in the atonement process. This is also why some people would have thought of killing the seriously injured villagers in Dalin Village in the first place.
As long as someone dies, Xie Yiyang can't get away with the crime, no matter how much money he spends, it's useless, and then he will be beheaded and exiled at the worst, and no matter which one it is, it will be difficult for Xie Hong to be a household secretary anymore, because being an official is also very particular about family style.
Having someone in the family to commit a murderer is very affecting the career, such as Shang Ping, why has he been able to stay in the position of a member of the Ministry of Labor for many years?
One is that his talent is not outstanding, and the other is that his brother's influence is still there.
Even if they are just brothers, when it comes to the Zhenguo Mansion, in addition to the great achievements of the Zhenguo Mansion, it is the brawl case that caused a sensation in Beijing in Beizhenhou back then.
Is it unforgettable?
Lin Qingwan wanted to kill Xie Yiyang to avenge Xie Yiming, but not at the cost of the lives of those innocent villagers in Dalin Village, so she asked people to guard Dalin Village and prevent Xie Yiyang from killing more.
But that doesn't mean that she just let Xie Yiyang go, first of all, she has to let Xie Yan agree and leave first, and it is best to drag this case at this time.
As long as the case is not adjudicated for a day, the Xie family will not be able to ransom Xie Yiyang with money, Xie Yiyang will have to stay in the prison of the Criminal Department all the time, and the Xie family's heart will have to be carried all the time.
Lin Qingwan is equivalent to having a hostage.
Xie Yiyang's case, because the villagers of Dalin Village are unwilling to reconcile, it is a little difficult to get a quick sentence, but if you want to delay time, it can't be simpler, and the ready-made reason is that Your Majesty is going to have a birthday, so the Criminal Department plans to rest for two days before handling the case.
That's right, Di Shangshu is so capricious.
Although I don't know why Lord Lin dragged this case, Di Shangshu has a good impression of her, and since her wife has accepted the gift, he must do something.
The Xie family was so anxious that the corners of their mouths were on fire for a while, and everything was put together, and they couldn't take care of that side if they looked at this side, under such circumstances, Xie Yan forgot about Mrs. Xie again, and couldn't think of asking Lin Qingwan where Mrs. Xie was.
Until they saw Lin Qingwan's aunt and nephew at the emperor's birthday banquet.
Seeing that Lin Yubin was actually following Lin Qingwan's side, Xie Yan remembered in hindsight that Mrs. Xie had also returned to Beijing?
Didn't you say that Lin Yubin accompanied her to the Taoist temple to cultivate?
Xie Yan got up and wanted to go over and ask, Lin Qingwan suddenly turned around and smiled slightly, and led Lin Yubin to the female dependent, Xie Yan couldn't help but pause.
Although there is nothing separating the two sides, they are both courteous, and women can pass this side, but men rarely pass.
Lin Qingwan led Lin Yubin to greet the eldest princess and the three princesses, the eldest princess was okay, the three princesses knew that Lin Yubin was very favored in front of the queen now, and they all took her hand and smiled: "It's a real sign, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to imagine that there is such a sign in this world." ”
Lin Yubin lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, the eldest princess glanced at her and said with a smug smile: "Yes, I just said that she is very beautiful, I heard that she has grown up with the advantages of her parents, Lord Lin, I have seen it, but unfortunately I have not seen Mrs. Lin, but I know that Mrs. Lin is also good-looking when I look at this child." ”
Lin Qingwan pulled Lin Yubin over and said with a smile: "Don't praise her, otherwise my child will be embarrassed." ”
The eldest princess glanced at her and smiled: "You, who are aunts, are like your own mother, obviously you are just a few years old, what kind of adult are you pretending to be?" ”
"Am I too old to be old?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you say," the eldest princess asked with a smile, "What birthday gift did you give to your father?" ”
"Since it is a birthday gift, it is natural to show the birthday star first." Lin Qingwan glanced at her and said, "How can there be a reason to show you first." ”
The three princesses were slightly surprised, they rarely entered the palace, they only saw Lin Qingwan once with the queen, and Lin Yubin never saw them once, although the eldest princess looked kind and kind, but they all knew that it would be difficult to have a good relationship with this eldest sister-in-law.
No matter how flattering you are, although she is also polite and polite, she is very distant, and the five princes and six princes who are still young get more attention, but I didn't expect Lin Qingwan, the righteous sister who appeared halfway, to get along well with her, how long has she been in the capital, and she can joke with the eldest princess.
The third princess was about to speak, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the person walking towards her, and her eyes flashed with surprise for a while, and she couldn't speak.
Everyone followed her gaze and saw Zhong Ruying dressed in a white gown, wearing a royal blue jacket, and a five-clawed python embroidered with silver thread on it, which was the regulation of the county lord, but it was men's, the hair was combed high, tied with a hair crown, and only fixed with a white hosta, Rao had seen so many beautiful men in modern TV, and Lin Qingwan's eyes also flashed with amazement.
It's really incomprehensible, handsome and dignified.
Zhong Ruying smiled at them, opened her hands to the eldest princess and Lin Qingwan and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”
The eldest princess nodded again and again, and said in a row before Lin Qingwan spoke: "Good looking, I will be the same as you when I go back." ”
Zhong Ruying smiled and said: "My sister doesn't look good in this, I think Sister Lin looks good when she wears it." ”
Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Is Sister Zhong joking with me?" ”
The eldest princess also has a heroic spirit, but Lin Qingwan looks gentle and moving, where is it suitable for such a dress?
Zhong Ruying said: "My sister has a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, which is usually not obvious, but when she speaks and does things, she will undoubtedly show it, I think this body is suitable for my sister." ”
The fourth princess looked at Zhong Ruying, and then at Lin Qingwan, as the wife of the fourth prince, she knew her husband's plans, and she also knew that these three princesses and county lords all chose to support her husbands, among them, her husband has been very respectful of Lin Qingwan recently, but she didn't see that the other party was better than the eldest princess and Zhong County Lord.
But seeing the courtesy and intimacy of the eldest princess and Lord Zhong to her now, she dealt with Lin Qingwan more carefully, so as not to make her have a bad impression of her husband.
A few people were talking, and the time passed quickly, the eldest princess went to the back to accompany the queen, and the three princesses also had to be busy, so they hurriedly invited Zhong Ruying and Lin Qingwan to sit at the table.
Both of them have quite high seats, just below the eldest princess, and opposite are several princes.
The second prince is still locked up and has not been released until now.
The emperor hesitated for a moment, after all, it was his own birthday, and he still wanted to have a family reunion, but thinking of Zhong Ruying's temper, she really saw that the second child might really draw a sword and cut him, so he still continued to be locked up in the second prince's mansion.
Rao is like this, Zhong Ruying doesn't have a good face for the second princess, and only talks to the eldest princess and Lin Qingwan throughout the whole process.
The three princesses were a little embarrassed, but they also knew that after the incident in Hongzhou, Zhong Ruying was only afraid that there would be some estrangement from the royal family, so she didn't force it.
Lin Qingwan glanced at her warningly and asked her to stop acting.
Zhong Ruying smiled slightly, lowered her head to drink tea, glanced down when she raised her head, and said, "Xie Yan has been watching you, as if he wants to come to you." ”
Lin Qingwan didn't tilt her head, picked her lips and said, "Here are all officials and royal relatives above the second grade, he doesn't dare to come over." ”
Zhong Ruying knocked on the teacup and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the time is too short, and it can't be solved before His Majesty's birthday banquet, and it is a little difficult after the birthday banquet." ”
Because the envoys of Da Chu are here, the two countries are going to start discussing the matter of peace, even if it is for the sake of the ugliness of the family, the emperor does not want this matter to make too much trouble, so I am afraid that things will not be able to make trouble after today.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "Misfortune and blessing depend on it, but who knows whether it is a blessing or a curse in the end?" ”
Hearing the sound of the whip in her ears, Lin Qingwan hurriedly got up, glanced back, and saw Lin Yubin following her, so she knelt down to greet the emperor and queen with confidence.
Everyone knows that the Lin family has no money, and the food is donated more this summer, so the birthday gift prepared by Lin Qingwan is not outstanding, but it is just not wrong.
So when it was her turn to give a gift, it passed by, but the emperor took out her gift and praised it a few times, which let the courtiers know that the Lin family's favor had not disappeared for a while, and everyone was more kind to Lin Qingwan, and they all looked at her and smiled.
Chen Shangshu also had a smile on his face, but his smile faded by three points, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: What a fool, what the hell did the Zhao family do, it's just two weak female streams, they haven't gotten rid of people for three years, but they have made people grow their faces again and again in front of His Majesty.
Chen Shangshu glanced at Lin Qingwan, with doubts in his heart, and he didn't know if she knew about his cooperation with the Zhao family at the beginning, Lin Jiang was still there at that time, she shouldn't be able to touch these things, right?
Lin Qingwan didn't have the heart to pay attention to Chen Shangshu, and when she saw that the envoy of Great Chu was summoned, she couldn't help but look at the palace gate with everyone.
