stand back, let me come

Chapter 555 Chapter 555: Sentence [seeking monthly ticket]

After saying a word, the whole hall was silent.

The old woman first widened her cloudy eyes in astonishment, then she reacted, her expression froze, and finally she howled loudly to cover up her guilty conscience.Typical - I'm old, I'm loud, I have a point, I can mess around.

The onlookers also fell into Shen Tang's logic and haven't recovered for a long time. Looking at each other, they always feel that this makes sense, but they can't tell why.If they hadn't been [silenced] by Shen Tang, they would probably have chattered for a while.

Which family's daughter-in-law is not allowed to work?
What's wrong with touching a knife, a sharp knife, a needle, and a thread?

but--

If pregnant women touch these, the fetus will be deformed.

So, to touch or not to touch?

If pregnant women don't touch it, who will do these jobs?
Could it be that mother-in-law and husband serve tea and water?Thinking about it again, their wives/mothers/other family women have never heard of any pregnant women getting this treatment.Isn't the baby born fine?Therefore, work can be done.

Shen Tang ignored the old woman's sincere interpretation.

"Why, can't you give an explanation? Didn't you swear that the widow Zhuo killed the child? Do you have evidence that the child was injured at that time? It was not you and your son who threatened pregnant women to hurt them? If there are pregnant women I really can't touch these things, but your mother and son have sinister intentions to harm your daughter-in-law and grandchildren! If you can touch them, you will falsely accuse Widow Zhuo!"

Then he asked Gu Chi: "Wang Chao, what is the crime of false accusation?"

Although Gu Chi's understanding of this aspect is not as proficient as Kang Shi's, but the foundation is there, and a few words of basic common sense can be added.

He bowed and spoke slowly.

"If you follow the old law, you will be falsely accused and relocated."

"what for?"

Because a group of onlookers below were listening attentively, Gu Chi could only explain in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

"If it is verified that it is indeed the old woman's family who fabricated the facts and falsely accused the widow Zhuo, they will be sentenced for the crimes of the falsely accused. That is, the old woman's family falsely accused the widow Zhuo of murdering her only grandson, and the old woman's family should be punished for the crime of 'murder' according to the law. .”

And what's the end of murdering others...

Illiterate people who can't read big characters also know that a life is worth a life!
The old lady's face was pale.

Widow Zhuo hadn't woken up from this reversal, but she knew that she and her daughter were safe, so she couldn't help crying with joy.

Shen Tang asked again: "This is the old law, what about the new law?"

Gu Chi said: "Depending on the seriousness of the case, the light ones range from [-] rod punishments, to parade in the streets for seven days, to one year in the pound; for severe ones, one hundred rod punishments, five or seven years in the pound."

The onlookers gasped in unison.

Seeing this, Shen Tang snorted coldly.

To deal with feudal superstition, earnest explanations are useless, people don't know what science is, only magic can defeat magic.In their logic, defeating them with their logic can really make them have a long memory!

The old woman had already been so frightened by the conversation between Shen Tang and Gu Chi that her face turned pale, her whole body was shaking like chaff, and she didn't dare to howl anymore.

He stared at his daughter-in-law fiercely from the corner of his eye.

The little woman trembled from her stare, and faltered: "But, but the woman did feel the pain at that time..."

Shen Tang was speechless: "You were about to give birth at that time, and the baby's movements were very abnormal? These arguments are untenable!"

The little woman was so anxious that her forehead was sweating.

As soon as the child fell to the ground, she panicked when she saw his terrifying appearance. Her first reaction was to worry that her mother-in-law and husband would blame her.

She was so scared.

The child crawled out of her stomach, and something happened, how could she escape?This is the lifeblood of mother-in-law and husband!

If she admits to this crime, her humble life will be ruined.When panicked, the mother-in-law said that taboo with a ferocious expression, she was like a drowning person grabbing a stake.She didn't want to hurt anyone, but she didn't want to die even more.He half pushed and half admitted the charges against Widow Zhuo.

The mother-in-law said a lot, and she believed it.

Carefully recall that the widow Zhuo is indeed a slut.My husband is tall, strong and honest, he works more and complains less, and many young daughters-in-law like him openly and secretly.It is unreasonable for the widow Zhuo, who has been in drought for many years, to seduce her husband and harm her son?

Even if he wronged Widow Zhuo...

But flies don't bite seamless eggs, and Widow Zhuo usually checks it out a little bit. How could it cause these misunderstandings?

Unexpectedly, things turned out like this.

According to Shen Jun, he would be punished with a stick to pound rice.

Yong Yong said in a crying voice: "If the women's children were not harmed by Widow Zhuo...then why are they born so weirdly?"

Cowardly, she struggled unwillingly.

Shen Tang said: "This is related to many factors. It is possible that some of your ancestors were like this, or it may be that you worked too hard when you first became pregnant and did not eat enough. Simply put, it is eating too badly. If you think about it, your child will Only by absorbing it from the mother's body can it grow up smoothly. How can your child be well if you are not doing well? All in all, this matter has nothing to do with Widow Zhuo..."

Widow Zhuo has nothing to do with it.

But the old woman's family of three has a big problem.

If they are not treated, how can we curb this unhealthy trend of fabricating and framing?If the person sitting here today is not Shen Tang, but anyone who believes in this taboo, what will happen to the widow Zhuo, mother and daughter?If you don't die, you will be forced to death!
We must set a good example!
"Because of your first offense, I originally wanted to give you a lighter punishment, but——if you succeed in false accusation, Widow Zhuo has no other choice but to die! This is a living life! Without severe punishment, it is not enough to warn Convince the crowd!"

Shen Tang took a heavy breath.

"Old woman, because you are old, I will spare you twenty sticks, but only ten sticks, three years of pounding rice, and seven days of public exposure!"

"As for you—"

Shen Tang looked at the little woman.

"I sympathize with you that you have been born for less than a month and your body is weak. I will spare you thirty sticks. It will also be three years of pounding rice and seven days of public exposure!"

Finally, he looked at the man who had been silent all this time.

"As an adult man in your family, you have no ability to distinguish between right and wrong. You allowed your old mother to maliciously accuse innocent people without stopping, and almost killed an innocent person. It is a heinous crime! The fifty sticks spared by your mother and wife are up to you I accept it. I will sentence you to fifty rods, three years in prison, and public exposure for seven days!"

The old woman's son and the little woman's husband vaguely knew the seriousness of the matter before Shen Tang opened his mouth to punish him, but he didn't dare to say a word, but he couldn't help feeling a little hatred towards the old mother, daughter-in-law and even the innocent son in his heart.

Hate the old mother's arbitrariness.

I hate my daughter-in-law's incompetence and cowardice.

Hating his son for being a deformed evildoer makes him ashamed.

But hearing Shen Tang's penalty, he was instantly dumbfounded.

Finally he stopped keeping silent, and just opened his mouth to cry out for injustice—fifty cane punishment, three years in prison, isn't this killing him?
The old woman and the little woman were also frightened.

It's bigger than hearing your own penalty reaction.

One by one weeping like the sky is collapsing.

Under the speechless expressions of Gu Chi and the others, Shen Tang gave their family of three the treatment of "Silence and Sound", and the world was instantly clean.Shen Tang turned his head and asked Gu Chi: "Is there a severe sentence?"

She can't decide this matter alone, lest the sentence be too light or too heavy.Gu Chi wrote down the final verdict.

He smiled and said, "It's just right."

It is appropriate and full of humanistic care, fully considerate of the age of the old woman and the body of the little woman, which is very good.

Even if Kang Shi came, the sentencing would not be too bad.

Shen Tang looked at the common people below again, and said earnestly, "A good word will warm the winter three times, and a bad word will hurt the cold in June. I hope you will keep this in mind, and remember that the tongue can kill invisible!"

The moment her words fell, the young scribes and Qishan raised their heads in tacit understanding to look above their heads, and there were auspicious clouds and rays of light gathering together!
