"What are you talking about! Say it slowly!" Xu Fu reprimanded sharply, and the voice immediately paused, and then, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old walked in from outside the door, looked at Xu Fu with some fear, sorted out his words a little, and then spoke:

"Childe, just now there was news from the yamen, saying that Zhang Sanjianyin (through fake characters) was a woman who poisoned and killed people...... has been arrested, and the county commander knows that Zhang San is a disciple of Gongzi, so he sent someone over to inform him......"

(The local magistrate of the Xia Dynasty is called 'Shi', but it is very strange to say, it is called the county order here, the same is true for the county government and the yamen, and the official positions that will appear later are the same, after all, the king of the gods still calls himself me, all for convenience, don't use this bar)

"What?!" Feng Xue heard this, almost didn't jump up from the ox cart, this Zhang Sanai is one of his thirteen disciples, quite talented in mathematics, only five years have actually begun to learn high mathematics, it can be said that Feng Xue is the backbone of the way of education, and now he has committed a life lawsuit, how can he not be surprised?

The laws of this world are very simple, except for the unforgiveness of the crime of disrespecting the heavens, they basically follow the simple moral view of killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts.

Feng Xue will convene all the teenagers aged between twelve and eighteen in the county every year to conduct a unified assessment, select the most spiritual, and the best part of the students will be screened layer by layer, and finally pick out these thirteen students, if one is killed here, he will not be distressed to death!

Although it is said that in this era, even if he commits a capital crime, he can atone for his sins as long as he hands over six hundred catties of bronze (the atonement of the Xia Dynasty), but saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, these disciples Feng Xue are planning to open a school, if this Zhang San really commits such a crime, it is inevitable that he will not molest the student in the future, rather than this, it is better to let him die here.

However, with Zhang San's temperament, Feng Xue found it hard to believe that he would kill people and be strong (through fake words), although his name was Zhang San......

"Let's go, go directly to the county office!" Feng Xue gave an order, and immediately there were servants preparing cattle and carts, and two teas, Feng Xue took six or seven guards, three or five servants, and a steward, and drove all the way towards the county seat......

......

The ox cart was not fast, and when Feng Xue arrived at the county office, more than half an hour had passed, and Feng Xue, who had not slept well all night, yawned loudly, and then walked off the ox cart and walked towards the county office.

"Xu Gongzi is here......" Seeing Feng Xue enter the door, the county order immediately bowed, don't underestimate this ceremony, the two meet, the first salute of low status, this is a rule!

In these years, officials were basically equivalent to nobles (or only nobles could be officials), and although Feng Xue, a prince, was called Gongzi, he was only a low-level nobleman at best.

In terms of the prince's son, if the king of the vassal state is a duke, he is probably at the level of a baron, not comparable to the county order at the level of a viscount.

But sometimes, the status can not be calculated simply by the title, as the so-called prime minister's seven-grade official, Feng Xue was born in the Xu royal family, under the clothes and water, he always has to be one or two levels higher when he sees people, not to mention that he has also made a lot of things convenient for the people, and he is quite loved by the people.

Feng Xue naturally understood that the county order was respecting his future, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he also said hello after a few polite days, and the two of them sat down in the side hall, and then a servant came up for refreshments, and the two started the topic.

After the opening greetings, Feng Xue finally got straight to the point and asked:

"Luo County Order, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Luo Xianling put down the teacup in his hand, organized his language slightly, and then introduced:

According to her, her husband had borrowed a sum of money from Zhang San three years ago to do business, and later made money, and only took her back to Sheyang last month, opened a grain shop, and yesterday invited Zhang San to drink and repay the money by the way, but I didn't expect this Zhang San to get up at first sight, kill Boss Mi, and then rape her, this morning while Zhang San was drunk and not awake, came to the county government to report the case. ”

"Boss Mi invited him to dinner, but he killed Boss Mi instead? And after killing him, he still slept all night with his wife in someone's bed?" Feng Xue's face suddenly darkened, there was a problem with how he meowed, right?

"Who said it wasn't? It's just 'raping out the woman'......" Luo Xian Ling sighed, but Feng Xue was stunned when she heard this, and then she understood-

Rape can be regarded as an unspeakable thing no matter what era it is, so generally speaking, if a woman reports that she has been raped, she will generally be convicted directly.

But the premise of this practice is that in this era, the sentence for rape is not high-

The crime of rape was really established in the Tang Dynasty, although the history of this world is not the same as Feng Xue's original world, but in this period, for such things as rape, it is still only equivalent to fighting, injury and the like, although it is not like some Guo Jia (through fake words, as for the specific ones will not be exemplified here) as if nothing happened, but it is also a matter of fining money and whipping two whips.

If Zhang San was only raped, the county order would not even ask someone to notify Feng Xue, at most let him pay compensation, and it would be over, and he would not even be sentenced.

But the problem is that people die.

On the one hand, the rape of the woman, on the other hand, there are many suspicious points in the case, plus it has been a night, the evidence or something has to be cleaned up a long time ago, with the criminal investigation methods of this era, it is very unrealistic to find out, according to the idea of Luo County's order, it is the wisest choice to directly give money to do things.

Murder pays for life, this is the most basic law of this era, as the so-called: before the law, everyone is equal, but some people are always more equal.

The Xia Dynasty has a saying of redemption, that is, if you pay a certain amount of bronze, you can be exempted from the crime, Zhang San can't take it out himself, but Feng Xue is a big family, and this money is drizzly for him.

But in Feng Xue's opinion, this is not the case, he cares more about the truth than punishment or something, if Zhang San is really guilty, he will not pay money to ransom people, on the other hand, if he is not guilty, why should he pay for it?

Not to mention that there was a verdict last night, Feng Xue must be to get to the bottom of this matter!

didn't think much about it, and asked directly:

"What did Zhang San say?"

"Flatly denied. The county magistrate shook his head, but he was noncommittal, this matter is not something that can be concluded by anyone, he called Feng Xue over to save trouble, but at this time, Feng Xue opened his mouth to ask about the case, so naturally he had to wait for the investigation to make a conclusion.

Feng Xue naturally knew what the county order was thinking, and said directly: "Let him come over, I'll ask him personally!"

........................................................................

ps1: I know that denial is an idiom that only exists in modern times, but this is not a historical novel, it is a mythological novel, and if you still have to consider the time when the vocabulary was formed, then the Xia Dynasty should not speak at this time......

ps2: By the way, I don't know how to describe the history of common sense - most of the ancient dynasties, the crime of rapping a girl is much lighter than that of a married woman, and the strong unmarried girl is at most cane, and the strong married not only has a prison sentence but also may be executed, of course, except for the young, all children involved in the death penalty are not the same, of course, the standards of the past are not the same as the present.
