Although Old Man Li said 'obey the order' in his mouth, his expression was twisted, and he was reluctant to state the reason for his complaint.

"You mean." Fu Yin Zhang Yu Lin Road.

"You come on." Old man Li pushed his wife next to him, and said, Li Wangshi looked around at the crowd of onlookers outside, and refused to say, the two of you, you push me, I push you, but you just refuse to state.

"If you all refuse to speak out and sue the people's daughter, Zhao, the government will acquit her." Zhang Yulin said.

"Back to my lord." Old man Li listened and finally spoke, "Little Lao'er has a son named Li Qiang, who went to Zhao's house late at night on the third day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Hongwu...... Theft ......"

"What are you doing at Zhao's house? Be louder, the official can't hear you! Zhang Yulin said.

"Stealing!" Old man Li seemed to have let go, and raised his voice and said, "Because I was hungry when I was stealing, I saw that there was leftover food in the kitchen, so I secretly ate it." ”

"How do you know that the leftovers were given rat medicine by the Zhao family, and as a result, Xiao Lao'er's son was poisoned by her."

"My lord, you have to call the shots for the little ones!"

"Little Lao'er and his wife only have such a son."

"We are more than 70 years old this year, and we are no longer able to work, so we point to our son to support the elderly."

"Zhao put the food with the children's medicine in the bowl, which obviously did not conform to common sense. Maybe she wanted to poison someone a long time ago, please be aware of the situation and give the little old man justice. ”

……

"It turned out that their son broke into the house and was accidentally poisoned!" Outside the mansion, the onlookers heard the words and whispered, and one of them said: "From this point of view, Old Man Li's son deserves it?" ”

"Although he deserves it, the sin of theft is not unto death. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, after the old man's son was caught, the most he could do was to return the stolen goods, and then he would not die with a rod. Another humane.

"In this way, the Zhao family is also at fault!"

"Old man Li and his wife died of their only son at such an old age, it is really pitiful, and the Zhao family should compensate them."

"This brother, what do you think of this piece of eucalyptus?" One of them actually asked Qin Yu directly.

"I see with my eyes." Qin Yu said, "The punishment of the official master, we flat-headed people are useful to speak?" ”

"It's still kind of useful." The man said, "If everyone feels that the official master's punishment is unfair, and then the whole audience kneels down and pleads for mercy, Lord Fu Yin may consider it at his discretion and then change the punishment." ”

"This is called the will of the people, and the emperor now uses the 'Taoist law' and attaches great importance to the will of the people."

"At any time, the government's judgment and punishment must not be changed because of public opinion, otherwise the "Da Ming Law" will lose its authority." Qin Yu said, "Because of public opinion, it is easy to be used. ”

"What if the onlookers are all invited by criminals to make a show, and what if the so-called public opinion is invited by others to bring the rhythm?"

"So the government doesn't have to pay attention to these, and everything can be judged in strict accordance with the "Da Ming Law".

"If, after investigation, the case is indeed not in line with the values of the majority of people, then it is necessary to revise the "Da Ming Law" and correct it from the source."

"Sir, this is right!" The person who asked was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said.

"So let's be quiet and see what Master Zhang does." Qin Yu said.

……

"Zhao, everything Li Laohan said is the truth?" In the lobby, Zhang Yulin asked the defendant Zhao.

"What he says is true." Zhao said.

"Since what he said is true, then this government asks you, why did you put the food with the consumable medicine in the rice bowl?" Zhang Yulin asked, "What are your plans to do this?" ”

"You explain to the officer."

"That's the home of a folk woman." However, Zhao was not afraid at all, and said confidently, "In the people's own home, the people's women don't need to give any explanation to the yamen as they want to do what they want." ”

"The women remember that this is also stipulated in the "Da Ming Law".

"Just imagine, if the things that the women do in their own homes have to be explained to the government, then the women have to take a bath and change clothes at home, do they have to explain to the government clearly?"

"Do you want to explain the details to the adults one by one?"

The crowd listened, and many laughed.

When Zhang Yulin heard this, his expression froze, and he could see that there must be a master behind this woman. If there is no guidance from a master, then she has also read books, and she has read "The New Ming Law"

"Since the facts are clear...... "After a while, Zhang Yulin spoke, "Then the official will announce the verdict." ”

"The civil woman Zhao is not guilty, and she will be released in court, and she does not need to give any compensation to Old Man Li's family."

Released in court?

Don't have to pay compensation yet?

Old man Li and his wife were dumbfounded when they heard this, and shouted: "My lord, the son of the little old man is just stealing, and the crime is not death." Now that he is dead in Zhao's house, is that all? ”

"It really can't be that way." When Zhang Yulin heard this, he thought for a while and said, "The Zhao family was originally a law-abiding people, and a person died in the family for no reason, which is very unlucky. ”

"She's a woman, and she might be scared if she lives at night."

"Therefore, this government will order you to compensate her with a hundred taels of silver and buy her a new house. The old house is given to you, and after you live in it, you can also see things and think about people and miss your son. ”

When the old man Li and his wife heard this, they immediately sat down on the ground.

I came to sue the official, and I originally wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the Zhao family for a little silver, but after all, my son died.

But he didn't expect that the blackmail would not succeed, but he lost money.

"My lord, the little old man and his wife are over seventy years old, how can there be so much silver in the family as one hundred taels." Old man Li said, "And it's the little old man's son who committed the crime, how can you let the little old man compensate?" ”

"Although it is true that your son's crime has nothing to do with you, at least you have the sin of not being strict with your son!" Zhang Yulin said coldly, "Your godson is not strict and endangers the lives of the people of Tianfu, and you should be notified and condemned." ”

"Zhao's money, it is true that you and your wife should not compensate for it. However, this official has already investigated, and your son's family has money, so he will use his deposit to compensate the Zhao family. ”

"Your lord, your punishment is unfair!" Old man Li shouted.

"How is it unfair?" Zhang Yulin said, "Any judgment of the government must consider the impact on the general public. Just imagine, if this government sentences the Zhao family to pay you money,"

"I'm afraid that in the future, thieves will be even more fearless."

"Now that the government has made such a verdict, I believe that there will be fewer burglaries in the future."

"The first criterion for the formulation of the "New Da Ming Law" is fairness and justice, and the second criterion is to consider the impact of the verdict, whether the verdict can make the wicked jealous, and reassure the law-abiding people."
