Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The judicial lord slapped the table, and the few people below were all trembling, the people of this era, if they don't have to see the officials, they are all able to see each other, there is a popular saying among the people, the yamen rushes to the south and opens, and there is no reason to come in without money!

Fighting a lawsuit is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also costly, the key is to eat the plaintiff and the defendant, and sometimes a lawsuit can beat the plaintiff and the defendant together, and from then on, they will be ruined and can never turn over.

The few people kneeling below include the eldest sister of the Yang family and the old couple Yang Zhe, as well as the old couple of the Li family, as well as the two sons of Li Dalang and the eldest sister of the Yang family, a total of seven people. These seven people are all ordinary people, and they usually have to be careful when they see the head of the village, not to mention that today they met the judicial master of the state!

Qi Jinsi finished asking in one sentence, the Yang family naturally would not raise their heads, and it was not them who sued, they were the defendants, and the two sons of the Li family would not raise their heads, they were the sons of the eldest sister of the Yang family, who had just lost their father and wanted to lose their mother, they were too late to be sad, how could they add to the chaos, and they didn't believe that their mother would kill their father, and they were unwilling to sue their mother, as for the aunt of the Li family, she didn't look up, so among the seven people, only one of the old father of the Li family raised his head.

The old father of the Li family raised his head tremblingly, and stammered a little: "Return, go back to the old man's words, sue, it is the little old man who is complaining." ”

Qi Jinsi narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Who is the surname, report it quickly, and it doesn't matter if your piece of Lizheng is here, ask him to testify to you!" ”

The old father of the Li family was a little dazed, and said: "The little old man's surname is Li, and his name is Li Zhuan, do it, testify...... called Li Zheng ......, "He has never entered the yamen, and he has never sued, I don't know what kind of witness he is looking for."

The rules of the complaint in the yamen here, whether it is the person who complains or the defendant, must verify the correct body, this verification of the correct body is not a single reference to the verification of the defendant, the plaintiff also has to be verified, just like modern people have to get an ID card when they go to court, to verify that the defendant is afraid of making a mistake, and to verify that the plaintiff is afraid of false accusations, and if it is a lawsuit from other places, the lord can pass the buck and let the plaintiff go back to his hometown to sue.

Li Zhu didn't understand the rules, but the servants did, and immediately walked quickly to the gate, shouting at the people who were watching the excitement: "Who is Lizheng from Lijia Village, did you come?" Master Qi summons you into the hall! ”

A middle-aged man in his thirties with a generous appearance shouted: "The villain Li Fu is the Li Zheng of Lijia Village." Following the officer, he bent over and trotted into the lobby to salute Qi Jinsi.

This Li Fu is a Li Zheng, so he naturally understands what Qi Jinsi asked him to come in, he consciously pointed at Li Zhu, and said: "This is Li Zhu of this village, this is his mother-in-law Li Liu, these are their two grandsons, the eldest is called Li Duotian, the second is called Li Shoutian, and the third child is not here, there is Li Yang's family, is their daughter-in-law, and is also the mother of Li Duotian and Li Shoutian, as for these two, they are not from this village, but the small one recognizes them, this person is called Yang Zhe, and that is his mother-in-law Yang Hu!" ”

Li Fu took a breath and identified all the seven people in the hall, very conscientious, after speaking, seeing Qi Jinsi wave his hand, he got up and retreated to the side, but did not leave, standing in the corner to watch the excitement, and the servants didn't bother to care about him.

Qi Jinsi hummed, lowered his head and looked at the situation again, and then asked: "That woman Li Yang, your in-laws accused you of murdering your husband, can you plead guilty?" ”

The eldest sister of the Yang family has been tortured for the past two days, her husband died in an unknown way, she was suspected by her husband's family, although she did not beat her, but this sadness was unbearable. She is nearly forty years old, and in this era, a forty-year-old woman can be a grandmother, and she is indeed going to be a grandmother.

Listening to Qi Jinsi's questioning, the eldest sister of the Yang family couldn't bear it anymore, and cried loudly, she said: "The little woman and her husband have always been affectionate, how can there be a reason to kill him, the little woman was wronged, and the adult is asked to be the master of the little woman." ”

Qi Jinsi snorted, extremely impatient in his heart, he has tried many cases, and all the defendants have not said that they have been wronged, but they can be slapped with a board, and they will recruit whatever they want. Anyway, for him, the trial of the case is a board to shoot people, and under the board, any case can be solved, which is very simple.

Patiently, Qi Jinsi asked a few more questions, but the eldest sister of the Yang family always refused to admit that she killed her husband, and Yang Zhe next to him also had the courage to defend his daughter, but as soon as he spoke, Li Fu was about to quarrel with him angrily, and the quarrel made Qi Jinsi's head hurt.

Unable to be patient any longer, Qi Jinsi took out a fire stick from the stick, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Don't move the big punishment, forgive you and don't recruit it." Left and right, up...... Clamp the stick! ”

The leader of the errand on duty glanced at Qi Jinsi and thought: "It's really a person who wants to be a magistrate, just trying to close the case quickly, and even directly using the big punishment, he is not afraid of being beaten into a trick?" Well, by the way, he is not afraid, he is going home to retire anyway, no matter how strange this case is, he can't find his head. ”

Picking up the fire stick, the leader of the errand shouted at his subordinates: "Torture! ”

Four errand officers came up on the left and right, two held down the eldest sister of the Yang family, and two of them held the torture equipment, so they put a clamp stick on the eldest sister of the Yang family!

The torture instrument is five small wooden sticks worn with rope, which are worn with the fingers and tightened with force to produce great pain, and are specially used for women.

The servants tightened the rope, and the eldest sister of the Yang family was in a cold sweat, but she was also stubborn, although her ten fingers were connected to her heart, and the pain was unbearable, but she refused to scream, and her teeth bit her lower lip, and she actually bit blood!

Qi Jinsi slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted: "Don't invite it quickly, so as not to suffer from this flesh and skin!" ”

The eldest sister of the Yang family let go in one breath, and she shouted, "Little woman...... Treat unjustly! ”

Her two sons also burst into tears and shouted: "Master, my mother will not kill my father, she may have been wronged, please don't torture me!" ”

The old husband and wife of the Li family were also shocked, watching their daughter-in-law being tortured, they also remembered her usual good coming, this daughter-in-law has served them all year round, never neglected at all, she is indeed a good daughter-in-law, but her son died violently, but it is only related to her, is it difficult to let her go? This is something they can't let go of anyway!

Yang Zhe's old husband and wife also burst into tears, crying and pleading, saying that their daughter was by no means a cruel person, how could she harm her husband, and what good would it do her if she harmed her husband?

Qi Jinsi secretly said in his heart: "What a bad woman, she didn't even recruit at this time!" ”

The leader of the errand walked to the table, leaned on his stomach, and whispered: "Lord Qi, you can't use the stick too much, if it takes a little longer, the prisoner's finger will be broken, in case she is really wronged, how can she live in the future, if she goes to the official to complain about her hardships in the future......"

The muscles on Qi Jinsi's face twitched, and he said in his heart: "I'm just afraid that the case will not be closed, who cares if she complains in the future, I will leave early then, even if there is trouble, it will be the next Fa Cao!" ”

If you think so, you can't say that! Qi Jinsi nodded and said, "Go to the clamping stick, use the board instead, and beat her forty boards first!" ”

The muscles on the face of the errand leader also twitched, and he scolded Qi Jinsi for being a bastard, isn't this going to kill this woman! Qi Jinsi is an official, his home is not local, and he can go back to his hometown after Zhishi, but these little officials are native to their hometown, in case this case is overturned in the future, Qi Lao Bastard will go home and can't find anyone, but these of them who are errand servants will be poked in the back!

Qi Jinsi is for his own sake, but the leader of the errand also has to think about himself, there is no one in the world who does not think about himself, so he has to have some ideas for Lord Qi's reference!

The leader of the errand lowered his voice and whispered: "Lord Qi, this case is difficult to conclude, I am afraid that there will be a recurrence in the future, and the little one also knows this." But speaking of this case, it is a private matter of the Li family, the so-called people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, as long as they withdraw the case, won't this case be gone, and the trouble will naturally be gone! ”

Qi Jinsi glared at the leader of the errands, and also whispered, "But how can they withdraw the case!" You don't want to think about it, they dare to overstep the level to sue here, in case they go to Linzhou again, wouldn't this official be ...... Wouldn't that be more troublesome! ”

He still has three months to get into the office, in case of trouble during this period, the normal Zhishi has become removed, isn't it bad, the normal Zhishi officials, the children and grandchildren can be shaded, the dismissed officials, the children and grandchildren can still be sheltered by a fart, is it difficult to become a case, spoiling the future of his children and grandchildren, is he so selfless!

The leader of the errand said: "Private affairs, the people do not raise officials and do not hold accountable, you can hand it over to the Li clan to take care of this matter, let them open the ancestral hall, this woman is guilty or not, it is only related to their Li family, and it has nothing to do with the government!" ”

Qi Jinsi was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed, yes, how could he forget this stubble, this is the private matter of the Li family, and if you push this private matter to the head of the clan, everything will be fine!

The Dafang Empire is very focused on the clan, of course, even in the time and space where Yang Ze is located, before the end of the feudal society, it is also very important to the clan, sometimes the private affairs in the clan, do not need to report to the government, as long as the ancestral hall is opened, in front of the ancestral tablet, the patriarch and the elders in the clan can solve the matter, the people do not raise officials and do not hold accountable, this kind of private affairs within the clan, the government has never interfered, it is a supplement to the justice of feudal society.
