"I..."

Liangchen wanted to plead guilty and ask the county to give him a light sentence at a young age, but he thought that as long as he pleaded guilty, he would have to bear the reputation of a criminal in this life.

In the future, even if his second uncle is broad, it will be difficult for him Wei Liangchen to clear his name as a marquis. Moreover, the dirt of he, a criminal, is also very easy to be attacked by the anti-second uncle, which affects the second uncle.

During the Apocalypse, the party was fierce, several factions fought each other, and if they wanted not to fall, in addition to the emperor's trust, it was also very important for them to have a clean foundation. Liangchen didn't want to make his second uncle embarrassed everywhere in Donglin's attack because of him, the criminal nephew.

After thinking about it and hesitating again and again, Wei Liangchen gritted his teeth and said, "The student does not admit his guilt!" ”

"Not pleading guilty?" Yan Liang snorted coldly, "The matter is already clear, the witnesses are all there, what else do you have to quibble?" ”

"The student was bullied by the bullies in prison at that time, and his life was in danger, so he had no choice but to fight back in self-defense, and he accidentally hurt people's eyes.

Whether the Ming Dynasty had justified defense is not clear, but the innocent intention is to negligently injure people, and only need to pay the medical expenses of the injured family, and do not need to be imprisoned.

It is manslaughter, and at most it will pay for the funeral expenses, and it will be imprisoned, but it will only be three or five years. If he is forgiven, he can be released. If the family conditions are better, the family of the deceased will be given sufficient compensation, and even the prison will not have to be charged.

Hu San is just blind in one eyeball, people are still alive, and the good minister is looking for the most beneficial one from the law to justify. This is also thanks to Emperor Taizu Hongwu's compulsory popularization of the law, and the descendants of all generations did not dare to disobey it, so that the old Wei family could put a dusty copy of the Ming law that had been sealed for many years. Otherwise, he Wei Liangchen would not be a traverser.

Liangchen emphasized that he was harmless to others, and emphasized that he was bullied by the prison bully first, if this article was adopted by the county honor, then it means that he only needs to pay money, and he does not have to be convicted. If the county can understand the situation, maybe you don't even need to lose money.

Yan Liang listened to Wei Liangchen's defense, was noncommittal, and asked Zhao Shuzhi: "What is the opinion of the torture room on this?" ”

This made the good minister kneeling there a little puzzled, didn't the books and TV read in later generations say that there is a master around the official, and the county official encounters an indecisive matter or an unknown matter, so he goes to ask the master.

The reason for this is that the officials are all scholars from the imperial examination, and they only specialize in the eight units, but they do not specialize in the criminal law, so in addition to the professional positions in the torture room, the major yamen are equipped with masters who are familiar with the law.

These masters were privately recruited by the chief officials to help them deal with criminal names, money, food, documents, etc., and they did not have official positions themselves, but they usually appeared as the chief officials' cronies in the yamen, and their power was above the major public houses. It can be said that the master is the spokesperson of the chief official, and those who are not close to him are not allowed to do it.

Yan Liang, as the respect of a county, did not ask his cronies and masters when he encountered trouble, but asked the torture room, which was very easy to be influenced by the small officials below, not the way of officials, so the good ministers were surprised, and at the same time felt that they were too unlucky.

If Yan Liang has a master, this master has no direct interest relationship with the torture cell, and he can still remind Yan Liang that in this case, Wei Liangchen, as the murderer, has unspeakable suffering.

Now, when everything is asked about the torture room, it is strange that Zhao Shuzhi can help him speak.

Liangchen's brows were furrowed, and he was not optimistic about Zhao Shuzhi's opinion at all.

Sure enough, Zhao Shu's answer was crisp and neat, and after investigation from top to bottom of the torture room, it could be confirmed that Wei Liangchen was not unintentional to hurt people, but had already brewed and deliberately hurt people. At the same time, Zhao Shuren affirmed that there was no prison tyrant in the prison, and this statement was completely made up by Wei Liangchen to deliberately shirk his responsibility.

With the sound of "horn", Yan Liang's astonishment fell heavily, and he looked at Wei Liangchen with a look of disgust: "What else do you have to say?" ”

"I have already told the facts, and I only ask the county to enforce the law impartially, and don't wronged the students." Liangchen knows that he is the meat on the board, looking at the county respect, the more he says, the more wrong he is, and the heavier the sentence.

The sentence on the side of the torture room was handed over, and seeing that the opinion of the torture room was eighty rods, and ten years in Liaodong, Yan Liang felt that it was a bit heavy, although he was dissatisfied with this young man, but he would not fully believe the torture room.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Liang changed his sentence, but it was sixty rods and five years in Liaodong.

"I think you are young and ignorant, this county is already a light sentence, I hope you will do it yourself." Yan Liang said that he was about to shoot the wood and retreat.

Wei Liangchen raised his head and shouted: "The student is not satisfied with this judgment and requests an appeal!" ”

"This county has given you a light sentence, don't mess around!"

Yan Liang was very angry, he gave a light sentence, how could this young man not know what to do. If there are cases of overstepping litigation and appeals, it will definitely be unfavorable to Yan Liang's evaluation of officials.

The so-called overstepping the lawsuit means that it has crossed the yamen of the management and submitted the complaint to a higher level. The appeal is not satisfied with the judgment of the Yamen of the Administration, and the petition is submitted to the next higher level to request a retrial.

Whether it is a lawsuit or an appeal, it is not something that officials are happy to see.

"The student is not guilty, and he has to appeal." The good minister did not accept the county's respect, and he insisted that he was not guilty.

Yan Liang was extremely angry, remade the shocking wood, and ordered the left and right: "Put the prisoner in a shackle for two days!" ”

The flail is to put a big flail on the prisoners for two days, and show the public by the gate of the yamen, which is similar in nature to a parade in the streets. The flail is also extremely heavy, more than 30 catties at the lightest, more than 100 catties at the heavy, if you meet a person who is not in good health and wears a heavy flail, you can call the flail alive.

The officials couldn't help but say that they stepped forward and dragged the good minister out, took a flail weighing more than 30 catties and put it on him, and then pulled him outside the yamen.

Liangchen was so angry that he trembled, but he couldn't swallow this breath.

Yes, he hurt people, but he was bullied in front, this county did not investigate personally, just listened to the following and issued a verdict, if he didn't appeal, he would be cheated by this county.

Even if the appeal outcome is the same, Liangchen will appeal.

Now, Hate Hates the former owner of his body for being too tricky and leaving him a bad reputation.

After retreating, Yan Liang was still angry, and at this time, the royal lord Bo came to ask for instructions, saying that the prefect's convoy was about to arrive in Suning, and asked him to lead the gentry in the city to meet him.

"Okay, I'll go."

Yan Liang calmed down, and asked the king about the prodigy on the road.

The king lord Bo but Dao County did not have any prodigies there. Yan Liang was strange, saying that it was not learned by the rural society.

The king shook his head and said: "Sectarian Lin knows a lot about the social studies of various townships, I went to ask him, and he said no." ”

"That's weird."

Yan Liang was confused, there was no prodigy in the governance, but the prefect wanted to come over to see him.

"It doesn't matter, when Master Chen comes, it will be clear."

With this doubt, Yan Liang and Wang Zhubo rushed to the city gate, where dozens of local gentry were already there.
