At this point, the causes and consequences of this case have been made very clear.

Wen Zhao looked at Guan Wu and said to him: "Although you are the most filial person, you don't kill Zheng Tu when he is sick, and you can be regarded as a heroic man with deep righteousness." ”

"Sometimes, however, what we think is right is not necessarily right. Before you know it, you've been taken advantage of and made a big mistake. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Zhao pointed to the elderly Zheng's mother, as well as the little girl who was a little timid, and said to Guan Wu: "Look at them, after losing the pillars of the family, how should the elderly and children live in the future?" ”

Guan Wu looked at Zheng's mother, who was full of white hair and described as withered, and suddenly felt ashamed and indignant, and he couldn't wait to find a place to crack and get the whole person in.

He has always advocated chivalrous deeds and never did anything against his conscience. However, this time, he was used by others, killing an innocent person, and leaving the old and the young without support.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, he came to Zheng's mother's side, knelt on the ground with a 'poof', and kowtowed his head heavily. The blood on his forehead ran down Guan Wu's cheeks, looking so dazzling.

Zheng Mu looked at Guan Wu sadly, still with hatred in her eyes.

She struggled to break free from the hand of the servant, kicked and beat Guan Wu who was kneeling beside her, and cried and said: "You bastard, our son didn't offend you at all, but you killed him." ”

"Bastard, bastard, you're a bastard!"

When Zheng's mother learned that her son had been wronged and framed, her mood not only did not improve, but became more sad and angry. After all, anyone who learns that their children died innocently because they were framed by someone will not feel good in their hearts.

The servants were about to step forward again to grab Zheng's mother, but they were stopped by Wen Zhao. Zheng's mother vented for a while, and only then did she stop her movements when she was tired.

Guan Wu knocked his head three times again, and said in a hoarse voice: "If I don't die this time, I will definitely treat my daughter like my own mother in the future, and treat Zheng Tu's daughter like my own daughter." ”

Mother Zheng still stared at Guan Wu and Guan Xiong resentfully, just sobbing softly and not speaking.

Wen Zhao came to Guan Wu's side and asked again: "Violence can't solve all problems, don't say that Zheng Tu didn't insult your family, even if there is a quarrel, he will not die." ”

"Your impulsiveness not only convicted you of murder, but also ruined another happy family. Guan Wu, are you guilty? ”

Guan Wu knelt on the ground and said convincingly: "The guilty people know the crime, but they are punished by the general." ”

Wen Zhao said: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules. If you break the law, the law will naturally punish you, but I can't judge you arbitrarily. ”

Then, Wen Zhao came to Guan Xiong's side again, looked at him carefully for a while, and sighed: "Your trick of killing people with a knife can be described as a seamless plan, which is amazing." ”

"Since you have this scheming, why don't you use it to serve the country on the right path, but instead use it to frame others?"

"Don't tell me it's because Zheng Tu injured you first, if you didn't rely on yourself to be a local, repeatedly provoked Zheng Tu, and pushed down Zheng's mother first, how could Zheng Tu beat you?"

"What's more, Guan Wu treats you like a brother, but you used him to avenge yourself and cause him to commit a felony of murder. Can you be considered a gentleman to act like this? ”

After being taught a lesson by Wen Zhao, Guan Xiong lowered his head and did not dare to refute.

In fact, although he wanted to use Guan Wu, he didn't really want to harm him. Even, he thought he was helping Guan Wu.

After all, according to the social atmosphere of this era, there were many examples like Guan Wu in the past, but they became famous for killing people and got the attention of others. Then he became a hero who was a prince and a prince.

It's like when Chen Xu first came to this era, Chen Jing planned to kill Zhang Qi's family to make him famous. It can be said that Guan Xiong's actions were almost the same as Chen Jing at that time.

It's just that Chen Jing told Wen Zhao about his plan at that time, and he did think about Wen Zhao wholeheartedly. Guan Xiong, on the other hand, has a very selfish heart.

And Guan Xiong didn't take into account that now the law in Guanzhong is different from the past, and no matter what the reason for killing, it is impossible to get amnesty as before.

Rao is like this, Guan Xiong does not want Guan Wu to be caught after killing. In fact, he had already left a way back for Guan Wu, but after Guan Wu killed people, no matter how Guan Xiong persuaded him, Guan Wu was unwilling to escape.

This situation was also unexpected by Guan Xiong. Although he was anxious to persuade Guan Wu to escape, he did not dare to expose himself.

However, Guan Wu was just brainless, and in desperation, he was surrounded by everyone and escorted to the official mansion.

Wen Zhao looked at Guan Xiong, who bowed his head and was silent, for a while, and no longer paid attention to the two prisoners, but said to the county magistrate of Xie County: "I have finished the trial of this case, and as for the final verdict, it still needs to be considered by the Ming Court himself." ”

"If the Ming court feels that the trial of this case is not very reasonable, it can be rehearsed."

When he finished speaking, he stood aside.

Wei Zheng glanced at Wen Zhao with complexity and admiration, and immediately didn't talk nonsense, let the master Bo take the new law of Guanzhong, and began to pronounce the sentence of the two of them.

"Guan Wu committed the crime of intentional homicide, upheld the original sentence, and sent the frontier to fill the army. Until his meritorious deeds can be cleared of charges, he can be restored to being a good citizen. ”

"If you can't earn enough merit to get away with it, you must serve in the military for life."

Then, he said to Guan Xiong: "Guan Xiong framed Zheng Tu for insulting his elders, which is also a crime. ”

"This crime is punishable by a fine of a shield, and if there is no money to buy a shield, the property of the family is pledged. Those who frame or slander others and sit back on their backs shall be punished according to the law. ”

There are two penalties for the crime of framing or slandering others.

The first is a fine, which is the price of a standard iron shield worth military use.

The second is to sit back, for example: Zheng Tu insulted his elders, according to the law, Zheng Tu had to accept the punishment. Punishment means to be scolded and reprimanded.

Those who frame others sit back, that is, Guan Xiong has to bear it, and he frames Zheng Tu for insulting the punishment of his elders, and he has to accept the punishment. Of course, this is because he didn't frame it seriously enough.

If he framed Zheng Tu for murder, after being found out by the government, even if Guan Xiong did not kill anyone, he would still have to bear the crime of murder because he was back.

In other words, if you falsely accuse others of committing a crime, you will have to bear the crime when you sit back.

In addition, Guan Xiong induced and instigated Guan Wu to kill people, which is the same crime as buying murder. For this reason, Guan Xiong is like a murderer, and the sentence is the same as Guan Wu's, and he will serve for life."

"Guan Xiong, do you want to do military service, or are you going to do conscription?"

Guan Xiong did not hesitate at all and said, "Serve in the military." ”
