Chapter 75
In the ancient dynasty.

Voluntarily selling yourself into slavery did not violate the laws of the dynasty.

but!

Buying and selling people against another's will is a crime.

Even parents cannot forcibly sell their children into slavery to others against their will.

This law is somewhat different from the conditions of the ancient dynasties in Lin Yan's memory.

Lin Yan glanced slightly.

He felt quite helpless towards Luo Ning's rule-abiding behavior.

Following the rules is a good thing.

But following the rules in everything is stupid.

But was Luo Ning wrong?

No!

The civilian woman who was detained by Luo Ning lowered her head and looked a little scared.

Lin Yan didn't say anything harsh, but calmly asked the woman: "Let me ask you, why did you forcefully sell your child? To whom?"

The civilian woman secretly glanced at Lin Yan in fear.

Lin Yan signaled: "Don't be afraid, just tell the truth."

The commoner woman knelt down with a puff, lowered her head and said: "Sir, the commoner woman has no choice. If she doesn't sell my child, he will die if he follows me. But if he goes to a rich family, he will have to be a slave for the rest of his life. , but at least he is still alive.

“I…had to sell my child so that he could live.

"If your Excellency wants to impose a sentence, a civilian woman is willing to accept the punishment."

How can any normal person be willing to forcefully sell their child?

Unless they are those beasts who have lost their humanity!

Lin Yan looked at Luo Ning who was standing next to him calmly and asked, "What do you think now?"

Luo Ning's brows wrinkled slightly, and there was a bit of struggle in her expression.

To keep the child alive.

The child had to be sold.

This is indeed a crime of human trafficking.

The sentence should be imposed!
but……

She is trying to keep her children alive, which is a mother's greatest wish.

Is she guilty?

Luo Ning struggled in her heart for the first time.

Lin Yan looked at Luo Ning seriously.

"Captain Luo, it is a good thing to investigate and handle important cases according to the laws of the dynasty, and it is a great good thing. At the most, it is the cornerstone of peace and stability, and at the least, it can also deter criminals. , protect more people.

"But!
"The principles of law are nothing more than human relationships. What the dynastic laws protect is the common moral and emotional bottom line of all people.

"She is guilty, but her intent in committing the crime was so that the child could live."

Luo Ning stood still.

There are many thoughts in my mind.

Ever since she became a Jin Yiwei, she has always followed what her adoptive father said, to act impartially and enforce the law strictly, because only in this way can she fulfill her responsibilities as a Jin Yiwei.

Only then can we be worthy of the people of the world!
Only then can we be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth!
And she.

It's always been that way.

but……

In this situation, should this mother who sold her child be sentenced to prison?
She is guilty!
But should she really be sentenced?

Seeing that Luo Ning was already thinking deeply, Lin Yan felt that it was almost done, and then changed the subject.

"I declare that this civilian woman must be executed according to law!!"

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Especially Luo Ning, who was still thinking about what Lin Yan had just said.

He looked at Lin Yan with a puzzled expression.

She didn't understand at all.

Why did Lin Yan suddenly say such a verdict?
The civilian woman kneeling on the ground also looked in disbelief.

Zhou Deming thought for a moment and couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Sir, you said before that she was doing it to keep the child alive. Why did you suddenly sentence her to death?"

Everyone is puzzled.

All waiting for Lin Yan to give a reasonable explanation.

Lin Yan said calmly: "What if she is not the biological mother of the child? What if she forcibly sold the child just hoping that she could survive?" "What?!"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the civilian woman.

The civilian woman's face changed with fright, and she quickly defended: "No, sir, I... I am really the mother of the child, it is true, I am really the biological mother of the child..."

林焱沉哼:“哼!

"Are you the biological mother of the child? Then when you talked about selling the child, why did you look so heartbroken, bowed your head and knelt down, but in the end there was not even a drop of tears? Even your eyes were not red.

"As a biological mother, if you forcibly sell your child, do you feel no guilt at all about this?

"and!

"After I defended you, you still showed a hint of pride, with a smile on your face that suggested you had succeeded. Do you think I am blind?
"There is only one answer to why you behave like this! That is, you are selling other people's children."

With Lin Yan's current six senses.

Although this civilian woman kept her head down most of the time, she could not escape his observation.

Not even the slightest change can escape it.

Clang! !

Lin Yan pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist and placed it on the woman's neck.

The sharp and flashing cold light made the civilian woman collapse to the ground in fright.

"Sir, please forgive me. I...I can't help it. If I don't sell the child, my child will also starve to death. I really have no choice. Ugh...Sir, please have mercy on me..."

The women knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Lin Yan was unmoved: "Oh? Really? Then where is your child?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to wipe her eyes: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Lin Yan continued to ask in a deep voice: "When did you leave? Where is he buried? What was his name? Was he a boy or a girl? Who was buried with you?"

The civilian woman froze in place.

I don't know how to answer at all.

Because in this series of questions, if you answer any link incorrectly, you are completely wrong.

Her hesitation.

Let Luo Ning and others understand.

This woman is lying.

For a moment, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi and Tiqi who came with Lin Yan all looked at Lin Yan with admiration in their eyes.

"As expected of the Commander-in-Chief, he even discovered such a detailed place."

"Yeah, I didn't notice this at all just now."

"The woman lowered her head most of the time. Although I paid attention, I didn't notice it at all. Fortunately, Mr. General Banner is so powerful that he noticed everything."

Zhou Deming couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Xiao Yan, you can do it!"

He found.

I still knew too little about Lin Yan before.

In Zhou Deming's opinion.

Lin Yan is the young boy whom the old drunkard entrusted him and Chen Zhong to take good care of. He is a bit handsome, a bit smart, and filial. He is a good child.

but!

In just over a month, Lin Yan had had a huge impact on him.

It feels like it's fake.

but.

Zhou Deming was very sure that the Lin Yan in front of him was still the Lin Yan he originally knew.

He could only sigh to himself, Lin Yan was either extremely talented.

Or it's deeply hidden.

Even he and Chen Zhong hid it.

Either way.

He was happy for Lin Yan.

When she came to her senses, the woman kowtowed in panic and begged for mercy.

"Sir, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. I really know I was wrong. I was really obsessed at the time. I just wanted to sell the child so I could get some food." Let yourself live..."

at this time.

Clang.

The sword flashed, and Luo Ning took action in anger.

The sword struck directly at the civilian woman.
