Chapter 358: Judgment
It will take some time for the county order to arrive, and the forces of Li Hao and Li Yuanmou are at a stalemate.
Even Li Yuanmou, the homeland, confessed to Li Hao for half a minute, and the rest of the Li family naturally did not dare to continue to make mistakes.
Li Hao didn't say a word, and waved his hand vigorously, and Hei Dan rushed up with several falcon warriors and rescued Li Ziyin from several family members.
Li Hao ignored the eyes of others, personally stepped forward to untie the rope for Li Ziyin, and asked with concern.
"How are you?"
Li Ziyin was treated like this by her relatives, and she was already more sad than dead.
She laughed miserably: "The prince's methods are really ruthless, and he actually used this method to let me see the facts clearly!" ”
Li Hao's face showed a little guilt, and he sighed in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I don't have much time!" ”
Li Ziyin shook her head and stopped talking, she didn't blame Li Hao, the relatives of the family were indifferent and cold-blooded. How can she, a female Zhuge not understand this kind of thing? It's just that I'm unwilling in my heart and has been deceiving myself.
Although Li Hao's actions today were cruel, they still let her see the facts intuitively. It's almost time to cut through the mess. It's just that the truth is cruel, and she doesn't know how to accept it for a while.
Li Hao didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say: "Don't worry, with me today, I will never let them hurt half of your cold hair!" ”
It didn't take long for the county order to really come. Li Yuanmou is not an official of the imperial court, and the other is not a relative of the emperor, just with one sentence, he can make their parents run around, and he can also set up this ancestral hall as a place to judge the case privately, which shows how influential these five families with the surname Qiwang are.
"Old lady Li, it's too late for the next official, please atone for your sins!" The county magistrate walked up to Li Yuanmou and flattered him with all his might, Li Hao sneered in his heart, it seems that today's matter is not so easy to solve.
"Lord Lintu, don't talk too much, I guess my lord has also heard about the scandal of my Li family."
"Where is this, old lady? No one is a saint or a sage, let alone such a big family. Being able to kill relatives with righteousness doesn't it show that the Li family can change their mistakes and have everyone's demeanor? Lin Tu hurriedly complimented.
Li Hao's prestige is far and wide, everyone knows that he is difficult to deal with, Li Yuanmou is willing to discredit his family in order to take revenge on Li Hao this time, and it can be regarded as a broken hand.
But now that the county commander personally said the words of righteous annihilation, it can make the prestige of the Li family in Longxi go to a higher level.
As soon as he heard Lin Tu speak like this, Li Yuanmou's face immediately softened a lot.
He laughed and said, "Your Excellency is wise! But some people want to interfere with my Longxi Li family's implementation of family law today, and slander me for killing a good person by mistake. My lord, how do you think this should be? ”
How could Lin Tu not understand the meaning of Li Yuanmou's words, he immediately looked at Li Hao with a straight face.
"Lord Zhen'an, this is your mistake. Although you are a high-ranking honorary prince, you should not talk nonsense and slander the innocence of Old Lady Li! The old lady is an upright person, who doesn't know about these people in ten miles and eight towns? The evidence of Li Ziyin's crime is conclusive and cannot be denied. Lord Wang, don't wade into this troubled water, otherwise you will make the late festival unsafe, and everyone will not be able to get over the face, right? ”
Lin Tu deliberately emphasized the four words honorary prince, which means that although Li Hao is famous, in the final analysis, he is not an official of the Tang Dynasty, but a person from the neighboring Li Kingdom. No matter how high his official position is, he can't interfere with the Tang Dynasty officials' handling of cases.
"I really can't see that just a county order, the brain is turning so fast!"
Li Hao snorted coldly in his heart, but there was no emotion on his face.
"Oh yes? The king wants to ask the adult a question, since the king came to this county, I have never heard of the adult, you held a meeting to diagnose this case, how can the evidence be conclusive, not to be said? Besides, even if Li Ziyin's crime can be put to death, this death penalty should also be carried out by the yamen, what is the reason for this private trial? ”
Lin Tu said with a proud smile: "The prince doesn't know, the Li family in Longxi has its own set of family laws, which are used to punish unruly clansmen, this is the default rule for hundreds of years, and as long as the conviction is implemented, the government will not interfere." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a cloud of black paint slamming heavily on his face.
Lin Tu was caught off guard and was almost smashed to the ground, and his anger surged.
"Lord Li, don't go too far! According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it is a felony to beat an official of the imperial court! ”
Li Hao did not shy away from it, stepped forward and shouted: "You still know the law of Da Ming!" Then open your dog's eyes and see clearly, how this Datang Law is written! All death row criminals must be executed by the judicial department of the imperial court! As an official of the imperial court, you connived at the clan to judge privately, and the crime of knowing the law and breaking the law will be added to the first! The person who formulated the new law of the provincial party committee has the right to execute you on the spot! ”
The angry shout was like a Nine Heavens Dragon's chant that shook the gods, startling Lin Tu subconsciously took a step back. The new law of Datang was indeed formulated by Li Hao with Li Shimin's assistance, and this matter has already spread throughout the counties of Datang. But Lin Tu didn't dare to poison Li Hao with his life, and he could only believe it rather than have no surname.
Li Hao stared at Lin Tu with a pair of eyes: "There are more important things now, this king will let you go for the time being." You just said that the evidence of Miss Li Ziyin's crime is conclusive! Dare to show the so-called evidence to this king! ”
"Okay, this official will hold a trial in this ancestral hall today, so that the prince can see it! Come on, bring the florist who committed adultery with Li Ziyin! ”
Several officials beside Lin Tu immediately escorted a man with shackles to everyone, and they looked like they were prepared. does everything in detail, no wonder Li Yuanmou values him so much.
This man is in his twenties, his hands are rough and wrinkled and calloused, and he looks like an ordinary person doing hard work.
Standing in the middle of the ancestral hall at this moment, facing the gaze of so many people, he knelt on the ground a little nervously, bowing his head and no one dared to look.
"Whoever kneels, report your name!"
Lin Tu really regarded this place as a yamen and began to interrogate.
The man hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Tu and said, "Lord Hui, the villain's name is Zhang Gaoliang, and he is the florist of the Li family." ”
"What are you criminals, report quickly!"
The man was very nervous, gritting his teeth vigorously, as if he had made a great deal of determination.
"The villain committed adultery with Li Ziyin, the eldest lady of the Li family."
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately exclaimed. It's one thing to listen to the grapevine, and it's another thing to hear the person in person admit it in person. Under the impact of this bombshell news, there was immediately a burst of gossip against Li Ziyin in the crowd.
"It's really shameless, even my own gardener doesn't let go!"
"I thought this Li Ziyin was such an amazing character, but she was so coquettish!"
Although Li Ziyin has a natural talent, she is just a woman after all, and her innocence is so slandered, and she is ashamed and annoyed in her heart.
Li Hao didn't want Li Ziyin to take care of the overall situation, he was willing to be wronged, and immediately put the overlord halberd on the ground.
"Shut up!"
The people were intimidated by Li Hao's momentum and subconsciously closed their mouths. But this hard-line style also made the people dissatisfied. There was more talk in the crowd.
"If you allow her to be a traitor, you won't be allowed to talk about it, right?"
"Thinking that you are the prince, you can be nosy?"
"I thought that King Zhen'an was such a heroic mission, but it turned out that he was just a person who saw the color and got into it. I kind of get it! ”
