The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 371
Right above the hall is a table case. On the small tables on both sides, there are people holding pens to record the trial process. There are two rows of yamen servants standing on both sides, and behind them are rows of people who come to hear the trial. The head is full of people.

When they saw Su Tang leading a group of people in from the side and took their seats, all the people inside and outside the hall knelt down and saluted.

"Get up!" Su Tang said slowly, seeing them all get up, "Arraign the plaintiff and the defendant!"

Seeing that Su Tang omitted many rules and got straight to the point, Lin Qing quickly gave the servants a wink to tell them to do it quickly.

Su Tang carefully read the pleadings on the table, as well as Lin Qing's confession from the previous trial, and couldn't help but feel worried for this woman.

Even in Leng Anguo, where women's status is not considered low, women without skills are still under the oppression brought by this feudal society.

Especially when he saw the plaintiff and the defendant kneeling in the middle, Su Tang's face became gloomy again.

The woman named Liu Chun is only in her early thirties, but because of the hard work of the first half of her life, she looks older.

At this time, she knelt obediently in the middle, buried her head on the ground, and trembling, she didn't know whether it was nervousness or fear, but bruises could be seen on her bare wrists.

"Head up!"

After Su Tang spoke, the two people obediently raised their heads slightly. The first thing that caught Su Tang's attention was that the right half of Liu Chun's face was bruised and purple, and his eyes were so swollen that they could only be blurred.

Judging from the emotion revealed in her left eye, it was mixed with strong grievance, anger and unwillingness.

Kneeling next to her was her husband Li Cai, who was a little thin and out of shape, his eyes were erratic, and he gave Liu Chun a hard look from time to time.

"How did you get your injury?" Su Tang looked at the woman, feeling a little distressed.

Liu Chun glanced at Li Cai secretly, and subconsciously moved to the other side, as if he had made a great determination, he gritted his teeth and said, "Return to Your Highness, it was Li Cai who beat you!"

"When did you fight? Why did you fight?" Su Tang just saw from the case file that the couple moved here with the victims of the severe drought in the south.

Along the way, he experienced drought, lack of food and clothing, and epidemic diseases. After arriving in Yanyang County, he took over a house and farmland, and with the support of Yanyang County, he managed to live a better life, and then he got into trouble with the government.

This reminded Su Tang of a saying, in this world, sharing adversity is easy, but sharing wealth is difficult!

"Last night, he asked the woman to withdraw the pleadings. If the woman refused, he beat her!" Liu Chun was crying, trying his best to suppress his grievance.

"Is what she said true?" Su Tang glanced at Li Cai coldly.

"She is disobedient, so of course she wants to hit her, and she will be obedient only after hitting!" Li Cai didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, and said it with confidence.

"Do you know what Yanyang County has been advocating recently? It's equality for all, human rights and freedom, and you need to be punished for beating others at will. Don't you know that?" Su Tang said.

"But Liu Chun is not someone else. She is my wife. It is only right for me to beat my own wife. There is nothing wrong with that." Li Cai said again.

Su Tang was silently relieved by his righteous words, "The pleadings said that you beat Liu Chun countless times, and the most serious one was that your nose bleeds and a finger was broken. Can you plead guilty to these charges? ?”
