Chapter 328
On the tenth day of April, it was the day of reckoning.
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, local governments and counties open offices every five days to release lawsuits and accept various civil lawsuits.
As for criminal litigation cases, they were all cases of immediate prosecution and trial, otherwise, if there were a murder case on the first day of the first lunar month and the investigation and interrogation were only conducted by the government on the fifth day, wouldn't it have been a big mistake?
Of course, some facts were present, and homicide cases with little urgency would also be postponed until the release date for trial.
For example, in today's case
Your Excellency, I just had an affair with that woman, but I never thought of harming anyone's life. Please make a clear decision, Lord Qingtian!
Report to the Lord; after careful investigation by the corpse examiner, it was found that the deceased accidentally stumbled and died due to a collision with a pillar, not due to external forces.
At first glance, this seemed to be a case of an affair leading to the accidental death of his husband.
But if that were the case, Sun Shaozong wouldn't have to be embarrassed. Although there was indeed an element of infidelity in this case, the person who died was not the woman's husband, but the woman's son!
The general process of the entire case was as follows:
Li was a widow for four years, with only a seventeen-year-old son under her.
Before, she used to spend all day wandering around her son, and she didn't think much of it. However, since her son found a job last year, he went out early and returned late every day, and he rarely communicated with his mother when he returned. Li suddenly couldn't find any spiritual support.
At this moment, Cobbler Wang at the end of the street took advantage of the opportunity and hooked up with her, which became a good thing.
If this cobbler Wang has a family and a business, it was indeed an affair with the Li, and this case was easy to say.
However, Cobbler Wang was also a widower and had some genuine feelings for Li. He had even asked someone to propose marriage to Li. Li naturally had no objections, but her son was angry and immediately beat the matchmaker out, ordering his mother and Wang not to come back again.
Li's lips agreed, but privately she didnt sever her relationship with Cobbler Wang, and he was still half-hidden in collusion.
The eight neighboring families, knowing the reasons behind it, all turned a blind eye and didn't consider it a shameful thing. They only lamented that Li's fate was not good and that she had such an unreasonable son.
But three days ago, Cobbler Wang went to have an affair with Li again. Unexpectedly, Li's son returned home early and blocked him inside.
Li had no choice but to let Cobbler Wang hide in the wardrobe.
Unexpectedly, shortly after Li's son entered the door, he smelled the foul smell of Cobbler Wang's feet, so he followed suit and pulled him out, tearing him apart.
It was just that
Dad, Dad
I want Daddy! I want Daddy
Dad
The crying Dad trio outside the door, the eldest only nine years old and the youngest only four years old, if he were to punish Cobbler Wang to be exiled for two thousand miles, how should these three children survive?!
How about
Castrate him?
However, not to mention that for most men, it was even more painful than death, and the survival rate of adult men after being castrated these days was only about 70%.
Cobbler Wang was so unlucky that he didnt look like one of the 30%.
This case was much more complicated than investigating!
Sun Shaozong couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks in embarrassment, but he also had to scrutinize his image as the Great Master of the Blue Sky, especially when the stars he boasted about were descending to earth or the reincarnation of Justice Bao, he couldn't
Wait a minute~
Sun Shaozong suddenly came up with a crooked idea. Although this method didnt conform to the rules of the royal law, he had never been such a principled person, especially when things were urgent and he couldnt manage many taboos.
Since he had made up his mind, Sun Shaozong immediately spoke again, "The situation in this case is complex, and it is difficult for me to decide at the moment. To avoid delaying other lawsuits, I will postpone the retrial of this case for five days.
Your Excellency.
How could Li agree, banging her head and waiting to continue shouting grievances.
Pa~
Sun Shaozong, without hesitation, gave a startled slap and shouted, "The court is closed.
The Yamen attendants in the two corners of the hall began to leave, and Cobbler Wang hurriedly withdrew. Sun Shaozong followed closely and went to the back hall. Li muttered a few times reluctantly but had to go home.
When Sun Shaozong returned to the back hall, he immediately called on Zhao Wuwei to remind him and finally explained, "Tell that Wang to be honest, I have given him the opportunity to exonerate himself. If he doesn't show his confidence, don't blame me for sentencing him to a palace sentence.
