Su Wen looked over, and the village chief immediately said: "That's what I said, but the rules of the wife are here, and Erhan is not willing to spend more corn to extend the time.
This woman's man has already collected other corn, so she should belong to someone else! "
Su Wen frowned: "According to the custom, it should be so, Er Han, you kill someone, you know the crime!"
"The villain is guilty!" The black-faced Erhan knelt on the ground, threw himself on the woman's skinny corpse, and burst into tears.
Su Wen said, "Is the elder in the village here?"
A few white-haired old men in the back squeezed forward and struggled to kneel down for Su Wen. Su Wen glanced at it and hurriedly said, "Elders don't need to be more polite!"
"According to my Daqin law, murderers die! Private fighters in private villages will be executed!
The three of you had a dispute, but instead of going to the government office to find the Tingchang county magistrate to adjudicate, you fought privately, which led to the death of the woman who was pregnant with Liujia, and she was executed together! "
The emperor's voice fell, and the three of them knelt on the ground in fright, all kowtow and begged for mercy.
Su Wen stood up, glanced at the village chief, and several other clan elders, and said slowly, "Do you have any objection to my judgment? If so, you can raise it face to face!"
"According to my Daqin law, all three of them should be put to death, but the emperor, the Caomin had asked the pavilion chief to go there last time, but the director said that he was too lazy to care about such trivial matters, so there would be private fights. occurring!"
"What are you saying is true?" Su Wen's eyes froze, and the village chief hurriedly kowtowed: "What the villain said is true!"
"Announce Chief Ting!"
Su Wen shouted coldly!
Jin Yiwei immediately took the order and left, and after half an hour, the drunken pavilion chief was brought over by Jin Yiwei.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw so many swords, swords, swords and halberds around him, and the cold light flickered, and his drunkenness turned into a cold sweat!
"I ask you, did the village chief approach you before, asking you to mediate the dispute between the three of them about the marriage?"
"Yes! I've been looking for it..." Ting Chang said halfway through, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then quibble:
"No! It's nothing. If they asked me to adjust, how could I not come?"
"Emperor, he's lying!" the village chief shouted with a blushing face and a thick neck.
Su Wen smiled contemptuously: "Village Chief, did you have any evidence when you looked for him?"
"Yes! In addition to more than a dozen men from our village, there are also people from the stockade next door. At that time, he had to have a secret prostitute in the stockade next door, Xiang Xianghua, who was happy and didn't give money, and Xiangxianghua would be able to testify to the grass people!"
Su Wen couldn't help but reached out and patted his head, this is really helpless, the people under his control...
"You don't give money to go to the kiln! No one cares about this matter?" The queen's voice came out of the emperor's chariot, "Your Majesty, why do people like this stay here? Cut them off!"
"I see." Su Wen waved his hand, and his face gradually turned cold:
"The skin and flesh money is the hardest, and it has always been looked down upon by others. You have to bully even such a person, and I will not keep you! There is no need to summon Xiangxianghua to identify it, drag it down and chop it up!
Take out all his family wealth and give Xiangxianghua! "
The pavilion was so frightened that he trembled all over, unable to utter a word, Jin Yiwei stepped forward, raised his knife, and dropped a big head to the ground.
The villagers onlookers cheered one after another. At this time, it was estimated that as long as whoever took the lead in shouting long live, a group of ordinary people with little knowledge would also follow.
"You and the other three have all lost their lives because of pleading with their wives. According to my Daqin law, they should be executed. However, I remember that God has the virtue of good life. From today, I will be taken into custody by the county magistrate and immediately sent to Wuzhong. The slaves who repair the water conservancy work to death!"
The three of them knelt on the ground in despair, like mud, as if they were completely paralyzed.
As for injustice.
Of course they couldn't say it out. After all, according to the laws of Daqin, such behavior should be punished as an example.
"Send the order to let the three county chiefs, county lieutenants, and county supervisors wait at the station thirty miles ahead. I only saw three of them, and dare to have one more person, behead!"
"Here!"
Jin Yiwei responded loudly, and sent a random Pegasus to report.
Su Wen stood up, and many onlookers knelt down on the muddy ground, not a single one dared to look up.
Su Wen bowed his hands: "People, the inaction of the patriarch in Daqin is due to the improper use of people. I promise you that I will do my best to deal with it, and I will never let such a situation happen again."
"Longevity!"
"Longevity!"
Longevity is a folk toast. When raising a glass, smiling and saying "longevity" is a blessing.
The villagers do not know the etiquette to say long live, but "longevity" is enough to express their support and gratitude to the emperor.
Su Wen boarded the chariot of God again and returned to the team of Xianyang. With the not-so-sound shout of Wanshou, he set foot on the way home again.
It wasn't until the convoy was far away that Meng Hui took her eyes off the dead woman, and she threw a handful of money outside the car and boat:
"Take it and let them bury the woman with a stele!"
"Here!"
Jin Yiwei's people hurriedly caught the money and rushed back on their horses.
Meng Hui reached out and stroked the seat, feeling very uneasy, Su Wen smiled and looked at her, Meng Hui smiled reluctantly, she said:
"Your Majesty, that person and I are both women, but why is her life so hard?"
Su Wen patted Meng Hui's shoulder: "We are in charge of the entire empire, and when we make decisions, we should think of these people at the bottom. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that no matter what decision we make, their life is still so hard." Su Wen was silent for a while, then said: "And it will be hard for thousands of years."
Thirty miles away from the post station, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county supervisor knelt in the middle of the official road, trembling as they looked at the towering team coming at the end of the official road. .
Chapter 786
Xingyuan had arrived, but no one paid any attention to the three people kneeling on the official road, and the emperor walked directly into the post house.
This is mainly due to the fact that the first emperor built the straight road in the past, and he himself went out to tour the world, so it became a rare and common thing for the emperor to walk directly into the inn.
Soon, the figure of the emperor and the queen appeared by the window. In such weather, there is nothing more comfortable than a pot of warm wine and a beautiful woman holding the cup.
If there is, then add another hot pot.
It's a pity that Qin Fashion lacks a baby who can make the world blush - Chili!
Although mustard is a native thing, although it is equally spicy, Su Wen always feels that something is missing when he eats it.
"Your Majesty will let them kneel like this?" Meng Hui, as the empress, had to persuade, of course, not because the emperor invented this kind of delicacy called hot pot to block his mouth, and it was abandoned.
"These people think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and their hearts are inevitably inflated. They believe that they are the masters of a place. Today, I will let them know who is the master of the world."
Su Wen picked up the warm wine, took a sip, and looked out the window. The rain seemed to have stopped, but because of the arrival of night, the weather became even colder.
"I can hand over the heavy responsibility of governing one side to them, let them enjoy the respect and admiration of all, let them honor their ancestors and honor their lintels.
But this is not the capital that they can be unscrupulous and not take the people as one thing. "
Su Wen sniffed the aroma of the hot pot in the air. The thin slices of meat were rolling in the oily chicken soup. The aroma was mouth-watering, as if a pair of invisible hands turned the emperor's head upside down. come over.
Seeing the emperor swallowing his saliva, the empress groaned helplessly: "The prince of a country, how can this be so?"
So, before the emperor could move his chopsticks, the degenerate slice of meat had already reached Su Wen's mouth.
"But they are always court officials, and it would be rude to let them kneel like this, so I ask Your Majesty to love you." "
Su Wen sighed helplessly: "The queen said so, how dare I let them kneel on the official road?"
"It's just that it's been a little while since they knelt on the official road. Has the Queen ever seen a commoner come to ask for their lives?"
Su Wen squinted and smiled: "At least, I don't look like a tyrant, shouldn't people be so afraid of it?"
"This..." Meng Hui also realized that something was wrong, she pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Chen Sheng, lead someone to check."
"Here!"
Jinyiwei's people rushed out, Su Wen waved his hand, and the palace maid standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty!"
"Let the three people kneeling outside come in, and stay there and change into clean clothes."
"The slaves obey the orders!"
Gong E withdrew, but Meng Hui felt that she couldn't see what the emperor meant.
Soon, the three people who changed into clean clothes hurried to the house.
Su Wen looked at the three people who were crawling on the ground and said slowly, "Do you know why I made you kneel outside for so long?"
"The pavilion did not act, and this is the case of the murder of the wife. As a local official, the minister should be punished!"
The county magistrate spoke first.
Su Wen smiled contemptuously: "I kneel with the three of you in the rain. After such a long time, none of the people came to plead for your life. You don't feel ashamed yourself, and I'm all ashamed for you."
"Assuming that you do something real for the people on weekdays, instead of showing authority wherever you go, it won't be that not a single commoner will come and ask for you, right?"
The three looked bitter, but no one dared to speak.
"Your Majesty—" At this time, Chen Sheng handed in and walked in.
Su Wen glanced at him, and Chen Sheng said: "The minister is clear, the county magistrate has robbed three concubines, and one of the concubines did not want to be humiliated, so she hanged herself in the new room that night.
The county magistrate felt unlucky. The next day, he led the army under the county commander and drowned the woman's family, all sixty-three members, to death. This incident shook the place.
Later, the county supervisor wanted to write a letter of impeachment, but was forced by the county magistrate to give up. "
"County Superintendent!"
Su Wen said slowly.
The official on the far left hurriedly kowtowed: "The sinner is here!"
"Tell me, how did the county magistrate threaten you?"
"He?" The county supervisor glanced at the county chief on the far right, his face full of horror, blushing as if he was about to bleed:
"He sent [-] yuan to the guilty minister, plus two hundred mu of paddy fields. If the minister does not accept it, he will join hands with the county magistrate to kill my family, and then write to His Majesty the Emperor, saying that the minister has committed rebellion and will be executed.
The servants are really helpless, only to join forces with them. "
The county lieutenant and the county magistrate had already kowtowed like pounding garlic.
".ˇYour Majesty, I know that I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong!"
