Silently, Huang Shi's two sons, the address of the real estate secretly purchased by his father, and the four looms that were transferred out under the false claim of being scrapped, and the workshop where they are now attached were accurately revealed.

This is all the information obtained by the government officials in the palace, these few days of information obtained from the secret investigation, and now that it is put out, Huang Shi is naturally indisputable, kneeling on the ground and saying: "My lord...... It's also for investment. ”

"Whatever it is, as long as it is not separated, it is your brother's joint property now." Shen silently put down the list, and said coldly: "Now that your brothers are like this, it is impossible to live any longer, so let this official divide the family on his behalf." ”

Huang Qi and his wife, knowing that the eldest master of Qingtian wants to make decisions for himself, are naturally willing, but Huang Shi has always regarded the family property as his own bag, how can he share it with others? Then he complained: "He raised a rebel son who killed his father, how can he inherit his father's property?" ”

"Hmph......" Shen Mo snorted coldly: "Your brother and sister-in-law have fallen to this day, and it has a direct relationship with you and your mother-in-law. As he spoke, he patted the wooden hall and said, "Bring witnesses!" ”

The younger sister of the two went to court to testify, saying how the sister-in-law concealed the family property, instigated the elderly, and abused the eldest brother's family, and said: 'The younger brother's son wears a brand-new silk jacket and tiger head satin boots for the New Year; The eldest brother's son, obviously the eldest grandson of the long house, can only wear cotton shoes with open toes, or I, as an aunt, saw it and bought him new shoes to replace them. As he spoke, he said sadly: "As a result, when I returned to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, I saw him wearing the broken shoes that sold ginger before and then sold eggs, so I asked him, why don't you wear new shoes?" He told me that if I wore it, I wore it on the first day of the new year, and I took it off today, and when I waited for the Chinese New Year next year, it would still be new shoes......"

"This child has been sensible since he was a child," Speaking of this, the woman couldn't help herself and shed tears: "I never want this and that like other children, at a young age, I know how to take care of my father......"

Huang Shi finally couldn't help but say: "Don't put gold on his face, if he is really a person, how can he do something that is not tolerated?" ”

"It's not for you to force me!" His sister glared angrily and said, "A teenager has begun to be sensible, but you call his father 'dead blind' and 'dead blind' all day long, can he stand it?" Daddy is confused, and he also calls with you, can he not quarrel with Daddy? Children don't have the ability to restrain themselves, and they act on the spur of the moment, don't you have responsibility?! ”

This woman is really powerful, which makes the audience very angry at the ugly faces of Huang Shi and his wife, and they are also very sympathetic to Huang Qi and his family, and even feel that the boy who killed his grandfather is not so damned...... Huang Shi couldn't understand why he became a defendant in a daze when he was obviously the plaintiff? began to shout loudly, saying that his sister was colluding with her brother and splashing herself, Yunyun.

But no one believed it.

Shen Mo said coldly: "Regardless of what your sister said is right or wrong, you hid the property belonging to the public school and drove your sister-in-law out of the house, these two charges cannot be denied." Saying that, he patted the wooden hall and said: "According to the law, when the staff is a hundred, come on!" ”

There were two servants, stretched out the water and fire sticks, inserted the Huang Shi's legs, and then slammed them on the ground, and pressed them to death, and the big wooden stick like a thick arm fell 'bang', and after a while, Huang Shi was beaten to the ground, and begged for mercy like a pig: "Master, I will listen to you, and spare the little cheap life......

After another ten rods, Shen Mo slowly stopped: "Do you want to give your house one by one?" ”

"Willing, willing to ......," Huang Shi said continuously.

"Divide your looms into three or six, six for your brother and three for you, would you like it?"

"May ...... Ah......" Huang Shi pleaded: "It's not fair......"

"Then keep fighting!" Silent eyelids thumped.

"Yes, willing......" Huang Shi had no choice but to surrender.

"Hugh wants to say that the official is unfair," said in a deep voice: "Your brother is blind, but you have sound hands and feet, but you don't work, just rely on these looms to live, and if you continue like this, sooner or later you will become like silverfish. ”

There is a saying that the situation is stronger than people, what else can Huang Shi say? I had to agree aggrievedly.

Shen Mo drew up the family separation document on the spot, in triplicate, and ordered the two to press their handprints on it, let them keep one copy each, and leave another copy in the government office, and said: "This official will send someone to supervise, don't think about tricks!" ”

The distribution of the family property is convincing, but everyone is still concerned about the sentence of the young man, especially the Huang Qi couple, who took the family property documents that had just arrived, knelt in front of Shen Mo and said: "Master, we are willing to give all these in exchange for a child's life, even if we put these two lives together, we are also willing." ”

Shen Mo sighed and said: "This official is sympathetic to you, but the law of the country is intolerable......"

"My lord, we are already at this age, and our only son is our lifeline, and if he dies, we will definitely not live." Both kowtowed and bled out.

That Huang Qi's wife suddenly raised her head and said, "One life for one life, please be merciful!" As he spoke, he slammed into the ground with all his might! The crowd was caught off guard when they heard a loud bang, and the woman was bleeding from her head and unconscious.

Gui Youguang hurriedly stepped forward to check and reported to Shen Moyu: "The skull is cracked, but there is still ...... qi"

"Hurry up and call the people from the medical hall to rescue ......," said in a deep voice.

Everyone was stunned by the sight of blood on the ground...... Including Shen Mo, although Huang Qi's wife was found by him, but it was just to divide the family property for grievances, this one was beyond his expectations, looking at the motionless woman, Shen Mo got up and went down the hall, and slowly paced: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, today I know that my father and mother are stupid...... Everyone also saw that Huang Qi did not hesitate to risk death in order to keep his son alive; His wife is willing to exchange her surname for her life, and I believe that if their son is executed, the couple will not survive. He sighed and said, "Although their son deserves to die, such parents do not deserve to die, fathers, what do you say?" ”

The villagers said excitedly: "That doll is only twelve or thirteen years old after all, and she doesn't understand, although the sin is big, it can't be regarded as evil, it can only be said to be impulsive; Your adult sees that there is a reason for the incident, and his father and mother are really pitiful, please take it lightly. The rest of the people chimed in: "Yes, my lord, he is still a child after all, for the sake of his father, spare his life." ”

At this time, an old man suddenly popped out and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's jointly write a letter of wishes, and ask your Excellency to submit the people's wishes on your behalf." It attracted a lot of approval from everyone.

Shen Mo heard this voice, his eyes flashed, and then he looked at that face, but it was not like that, but at this moment, he had done himself a great favor, so naturally he couldn't delve into it, so he nodded and said: "If you have help, this official can consider interceding on your behalf." ”

The common people are very emotional, never think about what the law should be, but according to their own inherent logic, they hate the rich and unkind, sympathize with the weak, and now they are moved by the couple's love to protect their children, and they even support the Huang Qi family one-sidedly, and all of them signed the petition.

Silent then announced in a deep voice: "The verdict of this case will not be pronounced for the time being, and the official will talk about your opinions according to the judge." ”

The old man who initiated the signature petition was extremely bold and said, "May I ask your lordship, what is your attitude?" ”

"The people's wishes are the attitude of the officials." Shen Mo smiled slightly: "Now and in the future, it is in this matter, and it is in other things!" "These words are so beautiful that they caused everyone to cheer and praise 'Lord Qingtian'!

In the midst of everyone's cheers, Shen Mo looked at the old man and said, "Old gentleman, please stay for a while, let's discuss and discuss together, how to read the book properly." He waved his sleeves and said, "Retreat, and the rest of the people will go." ”

Everyone kowtowed to Lord Fuzun and retreated, leaving the old man, neither advancing nor retreating, and he couldn't help himself with remorse in his heart...... He was in Xiaoshanyi, and the old man who met silently, although his appearance could change, his voice did not change much, especially the tone of his speech, he was as careful as silence, and he could hear the clues as soon as he heard it...... Of course, he was just here to see the excitement, and he should have no lines from beginning to end, but as soon as he was excited, he actually made a sound, and it was inevitable to wear gangs and show his stuffing.

The old man knew that he couldn't run, so Suo generously admitted: "It's me, what." ”

At this time, the iron pillar they had already surrounded them, protected Shen Mo, and surrounded the 'old man', but Shen Mo waved his hand, repelled them all, and looked at the 'old man' fixedly, the 'old man' didn't care about looking at him at first, but helplessly Shen Mo deliberately looked at the cats in the house every morning in order to be a competent official, and practiced extremely sharp and lasting eyes, and soon the 'old man' couldn't stand it.

But this 'old man' is obviously a surname who does not admit defeat, gritting his teeth and silently facing each other, and his eyes are red and he will not stop.

Shen Mo naturally did not give up, although his eyes began to feel uncomfortable, but he found that the other party's eyes were already like rabbits, so he continued to persevere.

Fortunately, the second hall has been cleared, and only the silent guards exist, otherwise Wang Yongji, Gui Youguang, and those officials will definitely look at each other, and they can't imagine that the adults who are extremely old in their hearts have such a childish scene.

The end result was that perseverance was lost to the tried and tested perseverance, as the 'old man' finally shouted 'I can't take it anymore!' I can't stand it! Lord Shen won a crushing victory, rubbing his eyes, and said, "If you admit defeat earlier, you won't be able to win against me." ”

"Hmph, what's there to be proud of?" The old man said in a loud voice: "Didn't you just win this time by luck?" ”

"Not just once," Shen Mo smiled and said, "How does my footwash taste like?" Land! Public! Child! ”

The old man's expression tightened, and he quickly returned to normal and said, "I don't understand what the adults are saying." ”

But the iron pillar they understood, and they all rattled with their swords, pointing at the old man who was called 'Lu Gongzi', as long as he made the slightest move, ten thousand arrows would immediately pierce his heart!

The old man had almost given up resistance.

saw Shen Mo raise his hand and said, "Put the guy away." ”

"But ......" said the iron pillar.

"But what," said in a deep voice, "put it away." Tie Zhu and the others had no choice but to put down the crossbow arrows.

Looking at the 'old man' with an inquiring face, he said silently and lightly: "I won't arrest you this time, because you have done a good thing after all, if you arrest you, I will become a villain, so I will let you go." ”

The old man didn't expect him to say this, smacking his lips and not knowing how to reply.

With a silent wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to get out of the way and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the appointment of the Lu family in Wu County, and I hope you will also attend at that time." ”

The old man nodded, arched his hand towards Shen Mo and said, "I agreed." Then he turned and walked out.

But he stopped him and said, "Wait." ”

'Old man' Lu Gongzi thought that he was going to regret it, and his body froze, but he heard Shen Mo say jokingly: "I hope that tomorrow, you will see me with your true face." ”

Lu Gongzi was so angry that he almost tripped over the threshold, nodded vigorously, and left in a huff.

"My lord, why don't you keep him?" After the man left, Tie Zhu asked in a deep voice.

"What are you leaving him for?" Shen Mo said angrily: "Do you want to humiliate yourself?" ”

"Can't we catch him?" Tie Zhu, as a hundred household officials under the command of adults, has recently felt that he is very good.

"They will definitely move out of Yanjing's god," Shen Mo chirped, "Do you think I can not let it go when the time comes?" ”

"You've been holding his box for more than a month," Sanchi on the side leaned over and asked, "Why haven't you seen them ask for it?" ”

"First, they know that I won't give it if I ask for it now, even if I move out of Lu Bing, it will be in vain. Because things are not people, it doesn't hurt to sit with me. Shen Mo stretched out two fingers and said, "Second, they are confident that sooner or later there will be a way for me to hand it over obediently." ”

"Will you, then?" The two asked in unison.

"It depends." Shen Mo rolled his eyes, found that his eyes were still astringent, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What a thing! And he walked away in a huff.

made the two look at each other, and somehow provoked the adults again.

Back in the signing room, Gui Youguang and Wang Yongji were waiting, and when they saw Lord Fuzun, they asked with concern: "My lord, why are your eyes red?" ”

"Ah......" Shen Mo scolded secretly, and said, "I was moved by that mother." ”

"My lord," said Wang Yongji, "do you really want to go to the book to protect that young man?" ”

"If you don't protect him, let's try to reduce the sentence." He sat silently at the table, took the transcript that had been recorded by Gui Youguang, and was about to pick up the pen and write on it.

Gui Youguang hurriedly stopped: "My lord, the record can't be changed, the plaintiff, the defendant, and the auditor have all pressed their fingerprints, and the alteration will be invalid." ”

Shen Mo laughed and said, "Who said that?" I'll show you how to change it. As he spoke, he added one of the sentences and said to the two, "What do you think of this?" ”

The two of them came over to take a look, and saw that one of the sentences describing the murder, 'struck the back of the head with a wooden sword and died,' and the word "use" was lightly hooked and changed to the word "throw," and the whole sentence became "throwing a wooden sword to the back of the head and causing death." Although it was only a one-stroke difference, the bad character of the case was greatly weakened -- 'killing with a knife' was an intentional homicide, and it was certainly not exculpable; however, 'throwing a knife' did not necessarily kill the other party, but it was just thrown off unfortunately, and he was killed by mistake. In this way, the crime of intentional homicide is reduced to the crime of negligence caused by accidental injury, although the death penalty is still imposed because of the relationship between the deceased and the murderer, but the surname is undoubtedly much lighter.

And it will give the official who reviewed the case a feeling that this was 'an impulsive act of a teenager', which undoubtedly greatly increased the chances of the teenager's life.

"Adults change one word and save one person!" Gui Youguang exclaimed: "This will definitely be passed on to Shilin Mei!" Because in the eyes of people at this time, this kind of change is not illegal, but a sign of flexibility...... Of course, it all depends on your starting point.

If it is for favoritism or evil, it will definitely be impeached by Shilin; But this kind of leniency of 'saving one person and living three people', although it is sprinkled and done, not only will no one make a fuss about it, but also praise it, and Shen is humble and benevolent.

This reputation is not exchanged!

Wang Yongji asked, "Then how is it convicted?" ”

"A hundred rods, and the army will never return." Gui Youguang is the most experienced, so he came up with an idea.

"Is this different from the death penalty?" Shen Mo asked, this is only a punishment lower than the death penalty.

"Generally speaking, the above will change our verdict somewhat." Gui Youguang smiled and said: "We set the punishment at this hurdle, and the further is the death penalty...... If Shangfeng agrees with us, he will not sentence this death penalty, but will lower the sentence by one notch. He added: "If they don't agree, then our sentence of 'no different from the death penalty' is reasonable, at least they will not be convicted for it, which is the best of both worlds." ”

"What if they agree and don't change it?" Wang Yongji asked.

"To put it mildly, he's still young," Gui Youguang said in a low voice, "I will always wait for the amnesty of the world." ”

In the end, the two looked at Lord Fuzun and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Very good," Shen Mo nodded, "You've thought it through, so let's do it." ”
