Madam, protect me!

Although a table had been set up at the entrance of the county government office and the government officials were yelling hard, it was the first time they had seen such a thing. The crowd just watched from a distance, and no one came forward to redress their grievances.

At this moment, two figures squeezed out of the crowd.

They were two strong men. One of them grabbed the collar of the other and said angrily: "If you don't pay back the money you owe and you dare to hit me, I will take you to see the official!"

I saw the man dragging the person who owed money to the long table at the entrance of the government office, and wrote a complaint in Nawen. A young man came out of the county government office, read the complaint, and asked the two of them a few questions. , and finally looked at the man and said: "It is only natural to pay back debts. If you don't pay back the money, you also beat the creditor. Today, I sentence you to pay off the debt quickly and give you fifty lashes as a warning. If you still refuse to pay, For money, the crime will be increased to third level. The Yamen will help you sell your property to pay off your debts, and you will inevitably suffer the punishment of the rod..."

The flogging was only painful to the skin and flesh, but the cane punishment was very painful. The man who owed money was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and gave it back to the man. Then, two government officials took him He was tied to a stone lion at the entrance of the yamen, and his buttocks were spanked dozens of times with bamboo sticks. The beating made the man cry for his father and mother, and the eyes of the people watching grew brighter and brighter.

No..., are they serious?

Seeing that the county government really helped the victim recover the money he owed, after the two people involved in the case left, some people started to make moves.

At this time, in the back hall of the yamen, a yamen servant grinned and rubbed his butt, but he still looked at the ingot of silver in his hand with a smile. Several people around him looked at him with expressions full of envy.

If they were spanked fifty times, they would get ten taels of silver, and they were willing to be spanked every day.

Even the other person who was not drawn received a reward of two taels of silver.

These two boys have such a good life!

I have to say that following that noble young master has a better future and more money than following Master Pei. It would be great if this young master were the county magistrate...

Everything is difficult at the beginning. The people at the county government office were still waiting and watching. Seeing that someone actually got justice, the crowd became obviously turbulent. At a certain moment, a woman walked out of the crowd and came to the table hesitantly.

A discerning government official immediately brought a chair and asked her to sit down.

Li Nuo looked at the timid woman and said softly: "Sister, don't be afraid. No matter what grievances you have, we will seek justice for you."

It seemed that the handsome man's smile had infected her, and the woman's face returned to a little rosy. She carefully rolled up her sleeves, revealing a bruise, and said: "My husband-in-law always beats me, can you take care of this? "

Li Nuo said: "Yes, yes, of course. Come, bring a chair, let this eldest sister sit first..."

Although there is no domestic violence law in Daxia, there is a crime of assault. Whether it is a unilateral beating or a mutual assault between husband and wife, the sentence will be increased or reduced on the basis of the crime of assault.

Li Nuo first sent two government officials to call the woman's husband for questioning based on the address she gave.

While waiting, he also asked someone to serve the woman a cup of tea, asked her in detail about the details of the case, and examined the wounds on her body.

Most of the wounds on her body were bruises, but there were also small cuts. In addition, a tooth was knocked out.

The woman's house was not far from the county government office, and within half a cup of tea, two government officials led a thin man to the gate of the county government office.

Li Nuo pointed at the man and asked the woman, "Is he your husband?"

The woman nodded.

On the way here, the man had already heard that his wife had sued him to the government. Although he was angry, he did not dare to get angry. He just said repeatedly: "Sir, this is our husband and wife's matter, and the Yamen can't interfere..."

Li Nuo glanced at him and said, "In your home, this is your family matter. In the Yamen, this is the Yamen's business. I just ask you, did you inflict the injuries on your wife?"

For such small cases, the "Da Xia Code" emphasizes that a citizen should not be punished by officials. Faced with the frequent beatings of her husband, if the woman chooses to swallow her anger, the government will really have nothing to do.

But she has already filed a lawsuit with the government, so this is no longer their family matter.

The man glared at the woman fiercely. When he looked at Li Nuo, his expression softened and he said, "Sir, I will never dare to do it again!"

Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place? According to the "Daxia Law", whoever strikes someone with his hands and feet will be punished with forty floggings; whoever is injured and hits someone with other objects will be punished with sixty sticks; if his teeth are broken, he will be destroyed. If you are missing an ear or nose, you will be sentenced to one year. You beat your wife several times, causing multiple bruises on her body and breaking a tooth. I will defy you for sixty years according to the law. You will be allowed to serve for one year."

The man stood there blankly. Before he could react, the woman was already anxious and said quickly: "Sir, sir, my husband-in-law cannot go to jail..."

Li Nuo looked at her speechlessly and asked, "Then what do you want?"

The woman said nervously: "I just want him to stop hitting me in the future..."

In fact, she just wanted the government to reprimand her husband, but she didn't expect that this gentleman would give such a harsh sentence. If her husband was sent to jail for one year, how would she survive this year?

Thinking of the consequences, she trembled and said immediately: "Sir, please let my husband go. I won't sue, I won't sue..."

Li Nuo finally saw that even though she was beaten like this, the woman still looked towards her husband in her heart.

For a moment, he was actually a little envious.

How can such a guy marry such a wife? How blind is God.

Don't say anything about your wife, just don't beat him.

This made Li Nuo look even more displeased with this guy. He waved his hand and said: "I will sue if I say so. If I say no, I won't sue. What kind of place are you acting as a yamen? These officials have to come to the yamen to serve the people on their holidays." Is redress of grievances such a pastime for you?"

The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "A common woman does not understand the law, please forgive me..."

Li Nuo asked someone to help her up and said, "You are the one who suffered. Since you said not to complain, you will be exempted from his prison sentence. However, the prison sentence is exempted, but he still has to receive fifty lashes and three days in prison as a punishment." , if you commit it again in the future, your crime will be increased..."

As a legal practitioner, even if I feel that this woman is too disappointing, I still have to consider it from her perspective.

To become a law enforcer is not to enjoy the feeling of having power over the people, but to sincerely solve problems for vulnerable groups.

Upon hearing this, the woman said gratefully, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

The man also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Thank you for your mercy, sir. I swear that I will never beat my wife again..."

Li Nuo waved his hand and asked two yamen runners to take him away and watch the clerk write the verdict.

He has figured out the rules of the "Code". As long as he is deeply involved in the case, whether he writes the verdict himself or not will not affect the judgment of the Code. Li Nuo's handwriting is too ugly to be presented at all.

After a moment, Li Nuo glanced at the Code and his expression suddenly froze.

The portrait of the domestic violence man just now was actually lit.

This is really surprising.

In the past few days, Li Nuo has judged many cases, and the portraits on the Code have also increased by several pages, but like Cui Ze in the Zheng Yuanwai case before, their portraits are all gray and will disappear completely after a day, which means that they have no strengths recognized by the Code.

This domestic violence man is the only portrait that has been lit in the past few days.

The Code is very picky, which means that he has some outstanding qualities.

At least he is one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.

If he doesn't ask clearly, he may accidentally use it, which may cause him trouble.

Li Nuo quickly reached out and called the woman who was about to leave, and asked: "Sister, does your husband have any special skills?"

The woman looked puzzled.

Li Nuo added: "That is, he is obviously better than others..."

The woman thought about it, and didn't know what she thought of. Her face suddenly turned red, lowered her head, and whispered: "He, his special skill..."

Li Nuo thought he had missed it, and asked: "Which one?"

The woman blushed, looked at a certain part of Li Nuo's body, and said: "That..."

Li Nuo looked down and was stunned.
