Chapter 507: Princess Lin asks the case in court
Daiyu's identity is an extremely special existence in Great Xia, she not only has the aura of the emperor's righteous daughter and princess, but also has the emperor's mission, and is the compulsory education division of the court's five rites.
Therefore, when Jia Shiyi reported that something had happened in the city, and Daiyu asked Jia Cong to return to the city quickly, Guo Yuchuang and Jia Cong in the big tent of the Chinese army were a little confused.
There should be no one in Shunyi County who was kicked in the brain by a donkey, go and provoke this aunt!
"Big nephew, do you want me to send someone with you, uncle?"
Guo Yuchuang, as the commander of the first army, will not enter the city easily. However, it is still possible to send ninety-nine people with Jia Cong, which is reasonable and legal.
But Jia Cong shook his head and politely declined Guo Yuchuang's kindness.
"It shouldn't be a matter of fighting, Sister Lin's princess mansion has three hundred, three hundred iron horsemen, it's enough to fight a skirmish, just the ...... in Shunyi County."
In Gyeonggi County, the few officials in the city and the crooked melons and cracked dates standing on the city wall all add up to not enough for the three hundred guards to stuff their teeth.
Daiyu shouted that he was definitely not fighting in the past, and nine times out of ten he encountered something that had to use his brain and was particularly troublesome.
Guo Yuchuang would not let go of this opportunity to show his face at the emperor's master, so he ordered ninety-nine fierce general brothers, Mingguang armor of Yishui, holding the flying eagle flag of Zuotun Wei in Yingzhou, and escorted Jia Cong to the city quickly.
……
Jia Cong's guess was not wrong, Daiyu's trouble could not be solved by a knife alone.
During her inspection of the Shunyi County Government School, she encountered a troublesome thing that she had never encountered or even thought of.
In the Shunyi County Government School, there was a girl who was bullied by several classmates while she was studying.
In fact, since the promotion of compulsory education in Shunyi, male and female schoolchildren from all walks of life in the county sergeants, agriculture, industry and commerce have entered the government school one after another, and many disputes have gradually emerged.
For example, students from the gentry class, both men and women, more or less have children who look down on poor families, or students from merchants.
It has become the norm for the children of the squires to bully others, even in the girls' school.
Among them, Sun Qi, a little girl from a butcher's family, is the most pitiful, just because her grades are better.
Sun Qi couldn't bear to be isolated and bullied for a long time, and her mother's family could not compete with the abuser's family, so she committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam a month ago.
Fortunately, his mother has been paying attention to her daughter who is about to go insane and rescued her in time, which prevented a tragedy.
But Sun Qi's mind seems to be out of order, let alone continue to study, even if it is a normal life, she has to rely on her parents to take care of her.
A few days ago, his father sounded the drum at the entrance of the Shunyi County Yamen, but Cui Xiang, the commander of Shunyi County, searched through the entire "Daxia Law" and could not find a clause that could convict these people.
The "Daxia Law and Fighting Litigation Law" stipulates: "Those who are over 80 years old, under 10 years old, and those who are ill, who are accused of rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, unfilial piety of their descendants, and violations within cohabitation, shall not be sued." ”
"For persons under the age of fifteen, the penance may be substituted by atonement. Secondly, a person under the age of ten who has the crime of counter-crime, great rebellion, and murder deserves death can apply to the emperor, that is, to appeal to the emperor. In the case of theft and wounding, the penalty of atonement is also used, and the other crimes are not punished. Finally, a person under the age of seven is not punished even if he is guilty of a capital offence, and if he is instigated to commit a crime, only the person who abbets the crime is punished. ”
In other words, even if these female students who are only ten years old are sentenced for the crime of wounding, they cannot be taken into prison, and at most they will be fined.
But will the Squire's House be short of money? The butcher's family, do you need to exchange your daughter for money?
Butcher Sun was able to stop Daiyu's car and sue the princess before driving, which shows that he wanted justice for his poor daughter.
Daiyu looked at the "Daxia Law" in her hand, and the anger and unwillingness in her heart made her more and more irritable.
It would be nice if there was no "Great Xia Law", but the "Great Xia Law" at this time has become a reliance on the squires to avoid the punishment of the law.
It is estimated that when the Fa was first cultivated, no one would have thought that one day a woman in Daxia would be able to enter the official school to study, let alone think of it.
At this time, there was no one to study in the county school of Shunyi County, and dozens of county school students crowded outside the hall, quietly waiting for Her Royal Highness the princess on the throne to speak.
Sun Qi's matter has been passed on in Shunyi County for a long time.
There are many rumors in the city that the ladies of the squire's family would bully a butcher's daughter for no reason, and it must be the butcher's daughter who did something insulting, which made many squire's daughters angrily teach a lesson......
Typical victim guilt theory!
The common people are not deaf and blind, they have extremely simple values, which are more righteous than the interests of the squire.
A hundred guards were scattered, and in less than half an hour, Daiyu had already collected most of the information in the city.
What is the situation of those perpetrators in the school on weekdays, what is the situation of the victim Sun Qi, and the entanglement between them, Daiyu has already understood seventy-seven eighty-eight.
"Your Highness, if it weren't for the fact that the lower officials were unwilling to seek justice for Butcher Sun, the lower officials finally tried their best to pick up serious crimes and deal with them. But as you can see, it is written in the "Great Xia Law" that the lower officials can only fine those families with a total of 100 taels of silver and pay them to Butcher Sun......"
Cui Xiang, the county magistrate of Shunyi County, is really not a dumb official, after all, he is begging for a life in Gyeonggi, and the emperor's eyes may touch here at any time, he really tried his best.
But it's ...... Not to mention that this matter is a small county order of his, even the secretary of the Criminal Department estimates that it can only be handled like this.
Daiyu snapped together the "Great Xia Law" in her hand, and her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"Cui County Order, one hundred taels of silver is indeed a lot of money. But you ask Butcher Sun, does he want the hundred taels of silver? ”
One hundred taels is enough for a family for three or five years.
But Sun Butcher, who was kneeling in the hall, obviously didn't want the hundred taels of silver.
Compulsory education has been implemented for so long, and there are only more than 100 women enrolled in the official school in Shunyi County, and most of them are squires and wealthy businessmen.
"Princess noble, the grass people don't want silver, the grass people want justice!"
Butcher Sun didn't look up to look at his parents, Cui Xiang, but just kowtowed vigorously, and his forehead was bleeding.
Daiyu asked her own soldiers to help her up, sighed and said, "The affairs of the Ling family, the palace is already clear. But there is no problem with the verdict of the Cui County Order, according to the law, at most it is a fine of silver to atone for the crime......"
Butcher Sun's eyes showed a look of despair, he had forgotten what his dignity and inferiority were, and he shouted in grief: "Is it true that the law protects the bad people, just because they are young? ”
This question even made dozens of county students standing outside the hall fall into deep thought.
They were all well-known beings, and naturally they all had knowledge of the law. At this time, after a little pondering, I found a fact, as if ...... Probably......
……
Daiyu, the county commander Cui Xiang and the teachings in the county school hall were all speechless by Butcher Sun's question.
They had no way to answer Butcher Sun's sad inquiry, and Cui Xiang even questioned the existence of the law.
This is not true, and there may be loopholes in the law, but the existence of the law is necessary. If there is no rule of law, how can the world be safe? ”
Although Daiyu is young, she is the most sensitive. After a brief period of distraction, he quickly stabilized his mind.
In a soft voice, she said something that was enough to resonate: "Since there is a loophole in the law, just make up for it!" ”
In Cui Xiang's shocked gaze, Daiyu took the paperweight on the table as a startling wood and slapped it with a snap.
"As the saying goes, it's never too late to make amends. Butcher Sun, this palace will make up for this justice for you today. But there's one thing you need to do, and it's up to you to dare. ”
Butcher Sun knelt down again with a plop, knocked his head three times in a row, and shouted excitedly.
"As long as you can seek justice for the poor daughter of the grass people, but driven by nobles, the grass people are willing to die even if they die."
Daiyu's eyes were resolute, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
She stopped Butcher Sun from continuing to kowtow: "I can't talk about the word death, but I need you to go to the capital with the palace, and the palace needs you to tell you what happened to your daughter Sun Qi in front of Your Majesty and the civil and military officials!" ”
Jia Cong rushed back to the city with ninety-nine cavalry of Yingzhou Zuotun Guard, and after asking about Daiyu's whereabouts, he came to the gate of the county school non-stop.
The gate was crowded with people, at least hundreds, even thousands.
The sound of the horse's hooves woke up the people watching the excitement, and they all made way for Jia Cong.
When Daiyu saw Jia Cong come in, her face showed a hint of relief.
"Brother Cong, I'll lend you a golden order."
Jia Cong, the tool man, was "dried" aside by Daiyu, who held the golden order in his hand and lifted it high.
"Your Majesty's golden order is here, seeing the order is like seeing Your Majesty!"
Cui Xiang couldn't care about his surprise anymore, got up from his chair, bowed down, and bowed: "Cui Xiang, the county commander of Shunyi County, respectfully invites Sheng'an." Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”
Only then did the county magistrates, priests and other officials in the hall react, and they followed behind Cui Xiang one after another, bowing down and bowing down: "The ministers respectfully invite Sheng'an, long live, long live, long live!" ”
Then the students and people outside the hall either bowed or knelt on the ground, chanting in unison.
This is the emperor's golden order, and you can only see it once in eight lifetimes.
"Seven officials and students from Shunyi County, including Lai's female Caihua and Yan's female Xiaoxi, bullied the girl, causing her to lose her mind... Although the "Book of Rites, Qu Li" contains: 'Eighty or ninety years are old, and seven years are mourning. Although mourning and mourning are guilty, no punishment will be added. 'The law of the kingdom has a rule of mercy for the young, but the law also has the duty of being weak and punishing the evil......"
Daiyu took the time to wink at Jia Cong playfully, and then her pretty face turned grim, and she said coldly: "This palace is ordered by heaven today to retry Sun Qi's case. If there is an omission in the law, the palace will make up for it with His Majesty's golden order. Someone came, moved to the Shuntian County Ya, and summoned Lai's, Yan's and other criminals......"
The case is really simple, so simple that Daiyu doesn't need to look for evidence too much at all.
Even the squires such as Lai and Yan did not have any objection to the case, and the only objection was Daiyu's final verdict.
"Seven people, including Lai's female Caihua and Yan's female Xiaoxi, were removed from the official school status, imprisoned for three years, and fined 100 taels of silver each. Nian was young, suspended for three years, and three years later he was sent to Shunyi County Prison to serve his sentence. ”
"Lai's, Yan's...... and other eleven squires in Shunyi County, spreading rumors and causing trouble, and wanting to interfere with the judgment of Yousi with public opinion. Thirty rods each, a fine of two hundred taels of silver, and a charge into the Shunyi County Official School for the purpose of the school. ”
As soon as the verdict came out, both inside and outside the county government exploded.
Several squires who were directly about to be punished, such as Lai's family, immediately jointly objected and shouted: "This case is unfair and violates the provisions of the "Great Xia Law". Her Royal Highness the princess is a noble status, and she has no right to meddle in local affairs, so I am not convinced! ”
"That's it, such a blatant violation of the law, this is a chaotic life, forgive me for not daring to obey it, I will go to Beijing to sue Yousi!"
Daiyu was not used to these people at all, so she was shocked and scolded: "The verdict of this case is carried out by the palace with a holy order. If you don't accept it, you have to hold it back to the palace. If you want to go to the capital to sue Youji, this palace will not stop you. But before going to the capital, serve a prison sentence first, which is also the rule of the "Great Xia Law"! ”
……
Who is the biggest in the world?
The emperor's golden order is definitely the existence of the sky in Shunyi County, Lai, Yan and other squires may be able to be powerful in the county, but in front of the emperor's golden order, their strength is really not enough.
The board was quickly finished, and Daiyu did not go back on her word, and after her family sent a fine, she ordered someone to drive her out.
Part of the fine money went to the county government for disposal, and part of the silver was about 800 taels of silver to Sun Butcher.
Daiyu also ordered someone to exchange it for a silver ticket that could be carried and stored, and sent someone to escort Butcher Sun home to settle down at home.
"Cui County Order ......"
Cui Xiang bowed down and responded: "The lower official is here." ”
I only listened to Daiyu's instructions: "This palace will bring Sun Butcher to Beijing tomorrow, and the people of the Sun family must send people to take care of them, don't let anyone disturb their lives." ”
Who is the person with a heart, do you still use Daiyu to talk about it?
Cui Xiang has been in Shunyi County for three or four years, and he knows it too well.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the lower officials will arrange it, and they will definitely not let the people of the Sun family have anything to do."
Cui Xiang has admired Daiyu's five-body throw, whether it is to fill the loopholes in the law with the power of one person, or the final careful arrangement, you can see the wisdom and heart of this noble woman.
Princess Wen'an, a strange woman!
……
When everyone dispersed, Daiyu and Jia Cong enjoyed a rare leisure time in the back hall of the county government.
The breeze rose in the pavilion, and the spring breeze blew a wisp of emanation in front of Daiyu's forehead.
Jia Cong stretched out his hand to help him recomb his hair and said softly: "Sister Lin brought Sun Butcher into Beijing, not just for this school bullying case, right?" ”
The corners of Daiyu's mouth turned up, and she nodded slightly: "As I said in the county school today, the law is not all to be supplemented, but what I want to do more is to let His Majesty and the court see one thing clearly - the power of the squire is too great." They can sway public opinion in a county and interfere with the judgment of the parents' officials, so they need to be suppressed. ”
