"Well, if you have any inspiration for the light bulb in the past few months, you can always come to Sanbo, and he will take you in to see."

"It's okay to work at any time of the week." "If it's a holiday, please make an appointment two hours in advance, and I'll come from home with the keys." ”

"And in a few months?" Shang Luo asked.

"If you don't see an eye for months, you'll have to move out. After all, this is not the place to put these dangerous goods with strange abilities - even if they don't seem dangerous right now, we can't take that risk. After all, this is in the center of the city, and there are many pillars of the country in the next room, and from time to time there are important weapons of the country stored here. Any small accident can affect our work. ”

"Where are you going to put it?"

"It will be stored in the fortress under the edict, and locked up with other strange things with magical powers."

"Wait. Won't there be any problems left here these months? ”

The three cylinders on the side shook their heads: "After all, I'm here." Anyway, I can at least make it to the point where I call for help. When the time comes, just shake it, and there will be Lu Zu's sword light or Sazu's heavenly thunder coming down. Besides, this is where Dao Ancestor is seated, where can any demons with long eyes crash in. After all, there are still big ones at the bottom of the Purple Mountain, and if there is a mess, there will be the first to come out, so it will not be the turn of this crushed light bulb. ”

"So, don't worry, little cousin." Zhu Xianene patted him on the shoulder, "You are speaking to us on behalf of the second uncle's family, and you will not make trouble for you." You can feel free, and we'll take care of the trouble. ”

Before the words fell, the three cylinders next to him suddenly lowered their heads, pressed their hands on their temples, and nodded.

"Your Majesty, I asked you why you came out suddenly."

"It's not Shang Luo who wants to visit, so I'll accompany him out to visit. Right? You're going to visit, right? ”

As he spoke, he glanced this way.

"Ahh Just said that he wanted to be more comfortable, Shang Luo didn't know how to answer now.

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor of Heaven, as soon as you said that you want Shang Luo to be more comfortable, don't put pressure on him." Sanguan said what Shang Luo was thinking, "It's useless to delay this matter any longer, it will have to be solved sooner or later." ”

"Okay, okay, I know." Zhu Xianene shook his head, "I just want to have a moment of relaxation so that I can rethink." Has Liu Yushi arrived? ”

"I've already had two cups of tea there. It was Lu Qianhu who felt that he really couldn't let him wait any longer, so he called my phone. ”

"Then Shang Luo will visit here today. I'm going to get busy first. ”

"Ahh ”

He would have wanted to ask. But this is not the first time he has heard Zhu Xianen's hint - he had said before that this was something that bothered him, but he couldn't tell others casually. I just said that I can make him feel more comfortable, and there is no need to worry about trouble.

This seems to be something that only Zhu Xianene can handle, and no one else can bear a huge responsibility, and it makes him breathless.

It's better not to ask this kind of question.

However, when Zhu Xianene saw his expression, he stopped: "You are very considerate of me, and you know that I don't want to say it." But I've never had anything completely private, and even if you don't ask now, I won't say it, and you'll probably know it tomorrow morning when you read the newspaper. Well, see you later. I'll see you tomorrow, after all, you're going to send Dan to me to study. If you can, please gather the opinions of your classmates on this matter. Well, please. ”

The next morning, at the breakfast table.

Shang Luo was still eating his nest, and Phaethon made himself cereal, stirring the cup with a spoon across the table. She read the newspaper as she stirred it up.

"That's right." Shang Luo raised his head, "Is there any news in the morning paper?" ”

"News? Do you ask the headlines? Shouldn't you already know the headlines? After all, it has to do with the emperor. ”

"I really don't know, he doesn't want me to know so, what's the matter?"

Faethon flipped the newspaper to the front page and handed it over:

The headline on the front page is in large print that spans the entire page:

"The 329 Case Has Entered the Autumn Adjudication"

Next to the title is a portrait. The person in the painting is facing the camera, with a serious face. He wears an official uniform, but the complement of the official uniform is not a common bird and beast, but a hedgehog, a unicorn beast. This is the symbol of the imperial history, no matter how big the official product is, all of them are made up with a pig, only in the dark lines of the clothing.

The text of the news starts right below the photo.

Zhengqipin supervised the imperial history Liu Shuren, the special case of the 329 murder case that shocked the whole country. In accordance with the principle of three sessions, Liu Shuren, as the imperial history of the project, followed up the entire case. The county decided to send it to the province, and the province decided to report it to the Beijing Division, and the six departments of the Beijing Division were decided, but the report was "left in the middle and not sent" for two consecutive years - the Son of Heaven did not give any instructions.

This is the last year. According to the rules, the case must enter the formal autumn adjudication process.

Since most people already knew about the case, the newspaper did not mention the case in advance, but only briefly described it before the end. However, from just a few dozen words, Shang Luo was shocked.

On April 21 of the first year of Shaoping, there was a case of Zhao Mouyuan murdering Zhao Mouping in Chengguan, Yongning County. The murderer fled and was caught the next day. The facts of the crime are very clear, that is, there is no doubt that the murder is undoubted. The process of the crime is also very clear, it is a drunken impulse to kill. Originally, there was nothing to say about this kind of case, just go through the process. But the problem is the identity of the prisoner and the victim – this is a case of a father killing a son. The victim, a student at a local high school, was only 13 years old when he was killed. The latter page also contains a large number of biographies of the victims and interviews around them.

If he hadn't been killed, Shang Luo had paid attention, he actually had the opportunity to come to Yujing to participate in the car race with Shang Luo.

This case is actually very easy to judge according to the law. According to the chapter "Human Life" in the nineteenth "Criminal Law" section of the "Da Ming Law", it is written at the beginning of this chapter: Whoever murders a person will be beheaded. This sentence is the same as the three chapters of Liu Bang's covenant, which means "the murderer is beheaded". Based on the killer's beheading, the entire chapter deals with specific situations.

For example, the main offender is beheaded, the main accomplice of the helpful act is hanged, and the secondary accomplice is exiled to 3000 li with 100 rods, and here according to the "Yongqing Decree", the corporal punishment of the rod 100 is converted into flogging, and the exile is 3000 li locked in Haozhou on the southern continent.

Here are some details on the back. Attempted murder and exile to Haozhou, beheading all the principal offenders and accomplices regardless of the money obtained from the murder, if there is only preparation for the crime and the attempt, etc

This case refers to the case of "killing and wounding offspring" - 70 rods, one and a half years in prison.

"Is that too much minus?" Phaethon tilted his head, "Stealing something in Rome is going to cut off your hand." Is it only a year and a half to kill people here? ”

"Hmm," Shang Luo shook his head, "I actually added later, there are other laws that have modified this article. In the end, the minimum penalty was exile. But now the question is, is just exile enough? It seems that as soon as this case came out, it caused a big discussion in the whole society, and it was generally believed that this person must be killed. So it was sent all the way to Jingshi, but the three halls of the trial couldn't get through, because according to the law, it was obviously not to be killed-but the three halls of the trial, nominally just an opinion. The final conclusion is still up to one person. ”

"Son of Heaven?"

"Yes. Liu Shuren, the imperial historian of the project, seems to have been staring at this case. In the past three years, he has been running up and down, and has made eight statements in the court, demanding that this person must be beheaded to correct discipline. But. This is not allowed by law. I'm afraid he was very embarrassed, so he dragged on for two years. But this year it can't be delayed. No wonder he has looked so gloomy in the past two days, this is simply a proposition, and there are problems with both sides. ”

"But he can't break the law, can he?"

"No, he can." Shang Luo raised his head, "As the Son of Heaven, he can use the Divine Decree to make the final ruling on this matter, whether it is in accordance with the law or not. His distress comes from this supreme power. The Son of Heaven is the source of the legitimacy of all laws and the ultimate interpreter of all laws. It is up to him to decide whether to kill or not, and he is naturally responsible for the consequences. ”

"Isn't that undecided?"

"It's not." Shang Luo shook his head, "If you enter the autumn judgment procedure, 90% of it will be killed." Because the three-hall trial hasn't started yet, if he doesn't kill him, he can wait for the results of the three-hall trial to be dealt with. Now if you directly submit this case to the Holy Judgment, you will be killed. It seems that he has finally decided. ”
