The tenth day of April is the day of the announcement.
According to the Great Zhou Law, local prefectures and counties open court filings every five days and accept various civil lawsuits.
As for criminal cases, they are all judged immediately—otherwise, if there is a murder case on the first day of the first year of the first year, wouldn’t it be a big mistake to go to the fifth official government for investigation and questioning
Of course, there are also some facts, and there is no urgency in the murder case, which will also be postponed to the release date for trial.
For example, in today's case:
"Uuuuu... My lord, I just have an affair with that woman, but I never thought of killing anyone, so please make a clear decision, Master Qingtian!"
"Reporting to my lord, after careful investigation, it is true that the deceased accidentally stumbled, causing the accident to crash into a pillar and die, and it was not caused by external forces."
At first glance, this seems to be a case of cheating that led to the accidental death of her husband.
But if this is the case, Sun Shaozong will not have to be embarrassed - although there is indeed an element of fornication in this case, it is not the woman's husband who died, but the woman's son!
The whole process of the case is roughly as follows:
Li was a widow for four years, with only one seventeen-year-old son.
She used to revolve around her son all day, but she didn't feel that much, but since her son found a job last year, he left early every day and returned late every day, and he rarely communicated with his mother when he came back. .
At this time, the cobbler Wang at the end of the street took advantage of the situation, and it became a good thing to hook up with him.
If this cobbler Wang had a family and a business, and it was indeed an affair with the Li family, the case would be fairly easy to say.
Pian Wang's cobbler is also a widower, and he has a genuine relationship with Mrs. Li. He even asked someone to propose marriage to Mrs. Li. Of course, Mrs. Li had no objection, but her son was annoyed. He beat the matchmaker out on the spot and ordered his mother. No further contact with the king cobbler is allowed.
Li complied, but in private, he did not cut off the relationship with Wang Tan, and was still hooking up half-covered.
Knowing the reasons before and after, the eight neighbors also turned one eye and closed one eye, not taking it as something immoral, but sighing that Li's life was not good, and such an unreasonable son was on the table.
But he said that three days ago, the cobbler Wang went to have sex with Li's again, but Li's son went home early and blocked him inside.
Li had no choice but to let Wang Tan hide in the closet.
Unexpectedly, not long after Li's son entered the door, he smelled the stench of Wang Tan's feet, so he followed the vine and pulled out Wang Tan, and slapped his head to cover his face.
Seeing that the cobbler Wang was beaten with blood on the head, Li was afraid of causing death, so he rushed up to hug his son, and told the cobbler Wang to run away.
Who would have thought that the son broke free from her restraints and chased after her furiously, and he actually caused a fatal accident - but it was not the cobbler Wang who lost his life, but the son of the Li family!
To say that the cobbler Wang once resisted, it would be fine, but this Li's son fell to his death by himself, and the cobbler Wang did not dare to touch him at all.
This kind of stupid thing, if it passes silently, the government will definitely not pursue it.
However, although Mrs. Li had a passion for adultery, when she saw that her son lost his life, he immediately turned his face and refused to recognize him, and went all the way from Daxing County to Shuntian Prefecture.
And she didn't know who's advice she listened to, and she decided that her son died when he was caught rape, and according to the Great Zhou Law, the king cobbler should be severely punished!
"Lee's."
Sun Shaozong reminded with a bit of a headache: "If you are convicted of adultery, Wang Honest will certainly have to add another level to the crime, and you can't get rid of it yourself."
"Return to Master Qingtian!"
Seeing Mrs. Li knocking her head on the ground, she said without hesitation, "As long as I can avenge my son, the woman will be reincarnated with the old king, and she is willing!"
"I bah~!"
She was willing to accompany her to die, but Wang Tan didn't want to pay for her life, so he spat angrily and scolded: "It was you who called me over that day, but now there is an accident but you have to kill me wrongly. Can't I owe you something?!"
"No debt."
Li didn't tell him apart, but insisted: "So I will die with you, and I will be a cow and a horse to repay your debts in the next life."
"You... you you you... you woman... "
Wang Tan was only angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but he really didn't know what to do, so he had to kneel and cry again and beg Master Qingtian for justice.
But Sun Shaozong was really in trouble.
In these days, we pay attention to the principle of "marrying from the husband, and the husband's death from the son", so according to the superficial logic, Li's son is indeed qualified to arrest his mother and Wang Tan's adultery.
And according to the Great Zhou Law, if the bitter master dies on the spot when the adulterer is caught, whether or not he dies at the hands of the adulterer, the adulterer must be dealt with severely - the minimum is two thousand li, and the most important thing is the palace punishment and the beheading of the prisoner.
In fact, when he first received this case, Sun Shaozong also thought about it. If he couldn't do it, he would just send a cobbler Wang for two thousand miles. The big deal was to choose a good place and not let him suffer too much.
only…
"Dad, Daddy!"
"I want Daddy! I want Daddy!"
"Father~~~~!"
The trio of 'crying dads' outside the door, the oldest is only nine years old and the youngest is only four years old. If the king cobbler is to be sentenced to exile for two thousand miles, how will these three children survive? !
or…
Castrate him
However, not to mention that for most men, this is more uncomfortable than death. The survival rate of adult men after being castrated these days is only about 70%.
The cobbler Wang was so unlucky, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a member of the 'Three Percent'.
This case is really more troublesome than investigating a case!
Sun Shaozong was embarrassed and wished he could scratch his ears and cheeks, but he had to be concerned about his image as the great master of the sky, especially when the stars he was bragging about went down to earth and the reincarnation of Gong Gong, let alone...
wait~
Sun Shaozong suddenly came up with a crooked idea. Although this method is not very consistent with the rules of the king, he has never been such a principled person, especially now that he is in a hurry and he can't control the many taboos.
Now that he had made up his mind, Sun Shaozong immediately said again: "This case is complicated, and it is difficult for this official to make a decision at the moment. In order not to delay other lawsuits, we will postpone the case for five days for retrial!"
"grown ups!"
How could Li shi agree, banging his head and banging his head, and then he will continue to complain.
slap~
Sun Shaozong slapped the gavel without hesitation, and shouted, "Retire!"
"Mighty~Wu~!"
Two times, the officers of the yamen snorted, and the cobbler Wang hurriedly withdrew, and Sun Shaozong followed him to the back hall. Mr. Li muttered unwillingly, but had to go home first to await the trial.
However, Sun Shaozong said that when he returned to the back hall, he immediately called Zhao Wuwei to warn him, and finally explained: "You tell the king to be honest, I have already given him the chance to get rid of the crime. If he does not live up to his expectations, don't blame him. This official sentenced him to a palace sentence!"
