The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 325 National law wants to kill you

Seeing that he didn't cry when he saw the coffin, Xie Shen sneered and said, "The witness, Han San."

Han Yang's heart sank.

This Han San is the steward of his mansion.In the past few years, he has been the second housekeeper, but later he was demoted to be the shopkeeper of Hanji Rouge Shop because of an errand.

The Han family is rich in industry, and Rouge Shop can only be ranked fourth or fifth.

This guy probably held a grudge and decided to testify for revenge.

That Han San was brought to the hall, pushed the Jinshan down the jade pillars and worshiped him.

"Cao Min Han San pays homage to Lord Qingtian."

Xie Shen nodded and said: "I want to ask you, just now your master said that Mrs. Li was injured during a tryst with someone else, is this true?"

Han Sanlang said: "This statement is not true. The truth is that my master forced Mrs. Li to sleep with him for his profanity."

hiss.

Han Yang took a deep breath, and then said angrily: "You are a talented person who eats inside and outside, the old man is really blind to ask you to be the steward of the house."

Xie Shen patted the gavel and shouted: "Han Yang, are you yelling at the court because you want another meal?"

Han Yang trembled angrily but dared not speak again.

The board in this yamen is very powerful, he almost collapsed after a meal of fried meat on bamboo board.If there is another twenty boards, maybe he will lose his life.

Xie Shen intentionally left some time for the onlookers to digest the conversation.

If public opinion is mastered and used for me, it will definitely be a great weapon.

Han Yuanwai's reputation is really bad on weekdays, and the people generally sympathize with Li Sanniang, so they all point the finger at Han Yuanwai.

"This son-of-a-bitch murderer actually did such an unethical thing!"

"Tiger poison doesn't eat offspring, yet this guy won't even spare his own daughter-in-law, even worse than animals!"

"Also please punish him severely!"

"You can't treat this kind of person lightly, beat him eighty times!"

"If he is eunuched, this kind of person should be eunuched!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Xie Shen coughed and said, "Han Yang abused his daughter-in-law, he will be executed according to the law of the Ming Dynasty!"

Han Yang fainted when he heard the penalty.

Another basin of cold water was poured down, which woke him up.

Han Yang trembled like a sieve, and muttered in his mouth: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me. My brother is the governor of Shanxi."

Xie Shen said coldly: "It's not the official who wants to kill you, but the law of the country who wants to kill you."

After finishing speaking, he slapped the gavel and said: "Put the criminal Han Yang in prison."

The two yamen servants dragged Han Yang down like a dead dog, with complacent expressions on their faces.

"The old man is wise, he is really a good official who is in charge of the people!"

"Then Han Yang committed crimes, Yurou Township unexpectedly fell at the hands of his daughter-in-law in the end, what a retribution!"

"Who says it's not? It's easy to kill this kind of person. He should be cut into pieces and executed by Ling Chi!"

Although Xie Shen sentenced Han Yang to behead Jianhou, he could not execute him immediately.

According to the procedure, he must first report the list of executed criminals to the Ministry of Punishment.

After the Ministry of Punishment confirms the review, it will be submitted to the emperor for approval.

Only those who have been collude with the emperor are the real death row prisoners.

Except for serious crimes such as treason, the rest of the criminals will have to wait until the autumn.

This point fully reflects the Ming Dynasty's respect for the lives of the people, and is extremely cautious about the death penalty.

The reason why Xie Shen punished Han Yang to behead Jianhou was also the result of fully considering public opinion.

This kind of incident is worse than raping women in the general sense, and has completely destroyed the bottom line of human relations.If the sentence is not severe, public opinion is bound to oppose it, and it will cause bad influence.

The importance of betrayal is self-evident.If a case that should have been severely punished is lifted up and put down gently because of the defendant's status, it will definitely give the impression to later generations that the law is empty, as long as the relationship is in place and the money is in place, it will be great. All cases can be turned into small ones.

Xie Shen naturally didn't want to see this kind of thing happen, so he sentenced Han Yang severely.

As for whether the sentence will be commuted when reporting to the Ministry of Punishment, or whether Emperor Hongzhi will commit suicide, that is not something Xie Shen has to consider.

He has done what he can and should do.It can be said that looking up is worthy of the sky and bowing down is worthy of the ground.

But the official rules are like this, and he can only do so much.

But Xie Shen didn't think the Ministry of Criminal Justice would change the sentence.

Again, this case is too bad.

Even if Han Yang's uncle was the governor of Shanxi, he would not take the risk of being drowned by spitting to intercede.

For politicians, nothing matters compared to career.

Of course, there is another possibility that the governor-waiting is really a soft-hearted person, and he lowered his face to plead for mercy, and maybe the Ministry of Criminal Justice will really change the sentence.But this will elevate Xie Shen's image even more, and make the people of Lu'an admire this parent official even more.

After Han Yang was dragged out of the hall, Li Sanniang kowtowed three times to Xie Shen.

"The housewife thanks the old man!"

Xie Shen looked at the tearful man in front of him and heaved a sigh.

For a woman, what is more important than chastity and fame?

If she couldn't bear it, how could Li Sanniang bring the scandal of being abused by her father-in-law to the lobby of the yamen?This is rubbing salt in your own wounds.

In fact, many items of the Ming law were unfair to women.It can also be seen from some specific cases that many things are obviously the responsibility of the man but are forcibly pushed onto the woman.

Take this case as an example, if another person decides, it is very likely that the unlucky one will be the sufferer Li Sanniang.

It can only be said that in this era where men are respected, the status of women is really low.

"Get up, this judge is also pronouncing the sentence according to the law of Ming Dynasty, you don't need to do this."

Xie Shen was still a little worried for Li Sanniang.After all, Li Sanniang hit the stone with an egg this time. Although she succeeded, she has completely broken with the Han family.

Even if she is a weak woman who can escape from the tiger's den, she still faces a lot of pressure.

What if the Han family wants to retaliate?
Xie Shen said in a deep voice: "Boss Qian, you are responsible for preparing a house for Mrs. Li to live in. If there is any mistake, you are the only one in this residence to ask."

"Little obedience!"

Bantou Qian let out a bad breath, and naturally he was obedient to Xie Shen.

"Retire!"

Han House.

Han Yang's official wife, Jia Shi, almost passed out after hearing the report from Han Li, a servant who went to the government office to inquire about the news.

"Chop."

Jia said bitterly: "This prefect Xie is too disrespectful to the Han family."

Jia Shi rushed to Han Chengdao, the big housekeeper next to him: "You quickly write down the situation and send someone to uncle to ask him to come forward to rescue the master."

Han Cheng was a little confused: "Madam, will the master really come forward in this matter?"

Jia Shi gave him a hard look and said, "Otherwise, what better solution do you have? Could it be that you told me to watch the master be executed?"

Han Cheng didn't dare to say so, so he wanted to write a letter, but Jia stopped him.

"Don't go in through the main entrance when you ask someone to deliver a letter. It's a time of right and wrong, so it's better to be careful. The Han family can't stand the trouble anymore."
