Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 616 Apportionment of Charges (2)
Li Shilang didn't hesitate much, he held the hall wood, and was about to make a final decision for Zuoguan to read the verdict, Yun Wanqin stood up: "Wait a minute."

Never die in your heart.It depends on what she can do to keep her cousin.

Yu Wenping loosened his wrist, the teacup clanged, and fell on the small table, splashing a few drops of tea juice.

Li Shilang looked over and saw her standing upright: "Who said the prisoner has no relationship or reason with Miss Hong?" After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xu Muzhen.

Xu Muzhen understood, raised her head and said: "Red Rouge and Cao Min have already made a private decision for life, and even visited Cao Min's house and met Cao Min's father, but they just didn't hire her. Cao Min regards her as his wife, and his wife's house has been abused by others. May I ask which one in the world?" Can a man bear it? There is nothing wrong with a husband avenging his wife's house."

Private life, have already met the elders?It is no different from husband and wife, if they are not husband and wife, they will be the concubine of the Xu family sooner or later.

There was another rustling in the hall.

Yu Wenping's face darkened.

The situation changed again, Li Shilang slapped the case twice, calmed down the situation, and asked someone to summon the prisoner's father.

When Xu Zetao heard that his son was finally sentenced today, he had been waiting outside the yamen for a long time. After hearing the summons, he entered the threshold with the family steward in less than half a moment.

Yun Wanqin looked over, her uncle's face paled a lot in less than a day, but luckily he didn't seem to be seriously ill.

As soon as Xu Zetao saw his son in prison clothes, after listening, he knew what was going on, and knelt down: "Your son indeed brought Mrs. Hong to the mansion a few days ago." Don't save his son, "Caomin also agreed with him to accept Hong's daughter, only because Quanzi's marriage with Luo's family was imminent, Caomin didn't want to cause a rift with Luo's family, and wanted to persuade him to wait a few days before it was delayed until now. "

The elders in the family all recognized it, so Hong Nu was considered a member of the Xu family who had never been married.

That being the case, the two are not unrelated, and the relationship is very deep.Husband and wife, the best relationship in the world, it is understandable for a husband to hate his wife.

Looking at her father, Xu Muzhen felt that she owed him too much. Seeing that his gray hair had grown a little overnight, she couldn't help but feel guilty and said, "Father."

It is really sad that he and Hong Yan can only use this method to get their father to admit it.

As soon as the words fell, Xu Zetao raised his arms and slapped his son with a "slap" sound: "Nie Zi! I know that you and Miss Hong have a deep relationship, and I have always pitied Miss Hong for being murdered by the wicked. She vents her anger and punishes the wicked, but she doesn't need to be so reckless! She has endured for so long, can't she bear it any longer?"

"In the courtroom, no noise is allowed!" Li Shilang asked the yamen servant to pull Xu Zetao away.

Xu Muzhen was knocked to the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Yun Wanqin was a little relieved, her uncle's reaction and acting skills were quite good, deliberately reprimanding her son in public made people feel that Xu Muzhen and Hong Yan's relationship was fixed, they were a husband and wife in secret, but it was only a matter of formalities, although the reputation was not good It sounds good, but it's enough to save your life.

Sure enough, Li Shilang was in a dilemma. He glanced at the jurors below and said, "Do you have any suggestions, my lords?"

Tan Langzhong clasped his hands and said: "In the law, it is not a crime to catch an adulterer on the bed and kill him immediately. If a husband sees his wife committing adultery, he is also innocent if he kills the adulterer on the spot. Although it is not quite the same as this case, but It's also quite similar, the Hong family's daughter is the wife and concubine of the criminal who has never been married. As a man, the criminal must have the blood of a man. If someone persecutes his wife and concubine, it is inevitable that he will feel revenge. In addition, Princess Qin said before that relatives revenge In the previous example, the lower officials think that beheading Xu Muzhen is really too heavy."

Tan Langzhong's subordinates and several other assistant officials also seconded the proposal again and again.

Yu Wenping's face turned purple slightly.

After deliberation, Li Shilang said: "Then how about sending the prisoner back to prison, rewriting the verdict, and then making a verdict?"

Yun Wanqin and Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Yu Wenping flicked his sleeves and stood up: "No."

Li Shilang was suspicious, but said respectfully: "What doubts does Yu have about the case?"

"I have no doubts, just a word," Yu Wenping narrowed his eyes, "Right now the national mourning, everything is strict, the situation mentioned in the hall today, if it is normal, it is okay, but now, it is an extraordinary time. What's the big deal? Strict? Even theft and robbery are capital crimes! Hehe, if the crime of murder cannot be punished with death, what about severe punishment? Isn’t it a violation of the law? What are you doing at the time of mourning?"

"This..." Li Shilang exclaimed.Several officials of the Ministry of Punishment no longer dared to say anything.

No matter how many cases are quoted, this sentence cannot be worth it.

Is it because a noble person above died, so it should be ignored that the laws that have been formulated, so that everyone below will die?
Yun Wanqin clenched her fist, but her back was sweating, could it be that her cousin really couldn't save his life?At this moment, there was a faint sound of drums at the gate outside the hall, and the sound of drums was like waves, getting heavier and heavier.

The yamen servant ran in quickly and reported: "I want to report to the servant, a woman from the Hong family is outside the yamen office. She said that she is related to today's case and asked to see Qingtian."

Rouge is here?Xu Muzhen was surprised and turned to look over.

After a while, the yamen servant led the people into the court.

Hong Rou glanced at Xu Muzhen, her expression did not fluctuate, and she knelt down.

When Xu Zetao saw the woman who had harmed his son come, even though he knew that she must be begging for mercy, and also knew that this matter was his son's decision, he could not blame her, but he was still angry and resentful.

What's the use of pleading with the officials?Even the presence of my niece and myself are useless!

If he had winked, he should have stayed away from his son long ago and reassured him!My own Zhen'er will not fall into today's field!
"You are Hong Sihan's daughter Hong Shi?" Li Shilang asked.

Hong Yan has been used to various scenes and limelights these years, how could she be afraid of the court, raised her head and said quietly: "The daughter of the people, Hong Shi, is the daughter of Hong Sihan." One sentence, gently and gently: "It is also the mastermind behind Xu Muzhen's murder of the madam."

Xu Zetao and Yun Wanqin were both startled, Xu Muzhen was shocked, moved over, and stopped her: "Red Rouge—"

Seeing him approaching, Hong Yan raised her slender hand, just holding onto his arm, her thumb quickly moved to the key point, and secretly exerted force, turning it inward.

Xu Muzhen felt her throat constricted, but she couldn't utter a word. Knowing that she didn't want to ask him to speak, Zhuo Zhuo stared at her, and was forcibly helped back by the yamen servant.

"Are you the mastermind?" Li Shilang asked in surprise.

Hong Yan knelt on the ground, but raised her head slightly, and flicked her beautiful hair on her forehead: "Speaking of hatred, who hates the madam more than I do? It's the women who hate the madam so much that they keep instigating and provoking in front of Xu Shao's ears. Forced by each other, Xu Shao was forced to assassinate the victim for the sake of the people's daughter."
