Chapter 223： Not guilty

Whether the matter is true or false, it is not to listen to the opinions of the parties on both sides, but to find relevant witnesses.

It's just the villagers of Linjia Village, the stingy husband and wife Lin Laosan and Li Cuihua, but they didn't call, just because they were afraid that calling them would cost them money, at least let them come to the county town for a bowl of green noodle soup. Need money too.

The county magistrate Zhou slapped the gavel again and shouted loudly, "Lin Yuelan, if what you said is true, then Lin Sanniu and others accuse you of being unfilial.

Afterwards, he sternly asked Lin Sanniu, "Lin Sanniu, is it true that you asked Lin Yuelan for 500 taels of alimony?"

Lin Sanniu was immediately startled, and his heart was even more flustered.

The things that came out were completely different from what they had expected when they came. They thought that as long as they went to court to sue Lin Yuelan for being unfilial, the county magistrate could judge Lin Yuelan as unfilial without asking for any reason. .

However, now the county magistrate is obviously biased towards Lin Yuelan.

Lin Sanniu replied, "Master, Caomin asked her for five hundred taels of alimony, which is really helpless. Caomin has elderly parents, three or four ignorant children, and a frail and sickly wife, look. Now, she has a thousand taels of silver, and the mansion is high, but she ignores the Caomin family. When Caomin is angry, she asks her for 500 taels of alimony. My lord, she already has this amount of money anyway. Alimony of three to five hundred taels, shouldn't it?

Since ancient times, it is only natural for children to honor their parents. The Longyan National Law states that children must unconditionally honor their parents, regardless of the reason, including giving away, selling, cutting off relatives, etc.

Sir, now, Caomin is suing Lin Yuelan in the name of unfilial piety, please find out! "

Lin Sanniu's words were obviously a bit aggressive, and it was Zhou County magistrate who was forcing him.

This is to imply that the county magistrate Zhou, no matter what they did in the past, now that he has come to court to sue, the county magistrate Zhou must judge Lin Yuelan as unfilial without any reason.

Although this is a bit out of line, as all the people of Long Yanguo, no matter how many reasons Lin Yuelan has for not wanting to pay alimony, and how many excuses she has for refusing to support them, there is no doubt that she is already greatly unfilial.

Therefore, whether Lin Yuelan is really unfilial or false, as long as her parents accuse her of being unfilial, she is unfilial, and she must bear the charge of "unfilial piety". , filial piety and obedience to all the conditions raised by the parents.

County magistrate Zhou, Zhou Wencai, Xiao Twelve, Jiang Zhennan and the others listened to Lin Sanniu's words, and looked at Lin Yuelan worriedly.

Lin Yuelan stood beside Lin Sanniu, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and the curved arc was obviously mocking and sarcastic.

She was a little surprised. Lin Sanniu, who had always been clumsy and only filial, had such courage to say those words.

This made her have to think of a sentence, birds die for food, and people die for wealth.

Lin Sanniu obviously made up his mind to sue her for being unfilial, then they would get everything from her, money, house, and shop.

"Haha...," Lin Yuelan sneered a few times in her heart and said, "This is just a dream!"

At this moment, the county magistrate Zhou had to ask Lin Yuelan, "Defendant Lin Yuelan, do you have anything else to say?"

It's just that everyone knows that no matter what Lin Yuelan has to say, Lin Yuelan's reputation for being "unfilial" is an ironclad fact.

Lin Yuelan did not respond after Zhou County Magistrate finished his question, but Jiang Zhennan stood up first, looked at Lin Sanniu and Lin Laosan with sharp eyes, and asked sharply, "Three years ago, Lin Yuelan cut his tendons and bleeds back to his father, but Is there something about it?"

This matter was mentioned just now, but later, everyone was confused by what Lin Sanniu and Lin Yuelan said were true and false, but few people thought about it.

Now, this matter is brought up again, and everyone suddenly wakes up.

It's just that what this man does when he mentions this, can it change the fact that Lin Yuelan is "unfilial"?

Lin Sanniu couldn't help but tighten his heart at Jiang Zhennan's eagle-like eyes, and his expression was full of panic. He stammered in panic and fear, "This...this...there is..."

Hearing the answer of "yes", there was a moment of silence in this court. For a while, everyone didn't know what to do?

Jiang Zhennan nodded, then turned to the county magistrate Zhou, and said coldly, "Three years ago, Miss Lin had already cut her blood to return her father and scraped her flesh to her mother, so she has repaid all the grace of giving birth. Since she has no grace of giving birth, Then what's the point of filial piety?"

When he said this, everyone was stunned, and some couldn't react.

The county magistrate Zhou was also taken aback for a moment, and he couldn't help but nodded, and said, "That's right! Blood is returned to the father, meat is returned to the mother, the gift of giving birth has already been cleared, and there is really no such thing as filial piety. Lin Sanniu, you still have What do you want to say?"

The county magistrate Zhou asked Lin Sanniu sharply again.

It was just beyond Lin Yuelan's expectations that Lin Sanniu's reaction surprised her slightly.

Is this the so-called potential that can not be stimulated under the predicament?

I just heard Lin Sanniu say with plausibility, "Sir, it's not that the grass people forced her to return blood for flesh, it's just the decision she made when she wanted to leave the Lin family. Besides, because of her skin, she was cut off by her parents. , that is a great disrespect."

Well, that makes sense.

Jiang Zhennan said sharply, "If she didn't do this at the beginning, she would have been forced to death by your so-called relatives, so-called parents. Don't you know that she just wants to live?"

Just want to live.

The words are sharp and deafening!

In order to survive, some people will do things that hurt heaven and reason, not to mention that this child is only forced to leave the family in a way that hurts himself.

This kind of injury was said by the biological father, which was greatly disrespectful and disrespectful.

Such parents are cruel and ruthless.

However, filial piety is greater than God!

Lin Sanniu echoed, "So what? Isn't she doing well now? As long as she doesn't die, do you think that if she shed two or three bowls of blood, you can deny that I, Lin Sanniu, are her biological father of Lin Yuelan? As long as we are her parents, whether it is past, present or future, she must honor us no matter what."

When everyone heard this, they took a deep breath. Such strong words, such despicable and shameless parents, it is difficult for this child to meet.

County magistrate Zhou frowned slightly. For such unreasonable, shameless and aggressive parents, it is impossible for him to defend Lin Yuelan in the public eye.

clap clap...

A few crisp slaps sounded at this moment.

Everyone looked over with a voice, and was stunned again.

Because, the person who slapped the palm is the person who sued Lin Yuelan.

But, I don't know what she meant by this?

"That's right, no matter what, this girl must honor her parents," Lin Yuelan patted a few times, and her loud and clear voice resounded in everyone's ears in the courtroom, "So, my lord, it is indeed as Lin Sanbo said. , the people's daughters are filial to them, it is natural and righteous, there is no arguing!"

Hearing this, everyone was very surprised. County magistrate Zhou, Zhou Wencai, Xiao Twelve, including Jiang Zhennan, all wondered, could it be that Lin Yuelan really intends to be filial to these shameless relatives?

"It's just," Lin Yuelan changed the conversation, "According to the laws of the Longyan Kingdom, all children should honor their parents. Men who have passed the age of weakness, and women who have reached the age of scorpion, will be able to honor their parents unconditionally. also!"

As soon as Lin Yuelan's words fell, the eyes of several people who were worried about Lin Yuelan immediately lit up, and they couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Zhou Wencai immediately patted his head and said loudly, "That's right. Article 1633 of "The Law of Filial Piety" does have such an express stipulation that if a man is too weak, and a woman reaches the top of his hairpin, it needs to be unconditional. Honor your parents!"

Magistrate Zhou immediately relaxed his frowning brows, stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a clear law!"

"Sir, it's just a coincidence," Lin Yuelan immediately said with a fist to the county magistrate, "This year, the girls are more than 12 years old and under 13 years old. It will take another two or three years to reach the age of slaughter!"

Yes.

Lin Yuelan is only twelve years old, and it will take three years before she reaches the age of 笄.

So, at her current age, even if her parents want her to be filial, it will have to wait for her to pass the age.

Lin Sanniu and Lin Laosan, as well as Li Cuihua and Zhou Guixiang, who were listening outside, looked flustered.

All of them just wanted to sue Lin Yuelan for being unfilial, and then they got those house money from Lin Yuelan, and they didn't even think about age.

Besides, they only know that as long as the parents go to the county government to sue their children for unfilial piety, and as long as the government accepts the case, then the children must be charged with "unfilial piety".

They have never heard of it, and there are such civilized laws and regulations, which is too...too bad for them.

"Impossible," Lin Sanniu shook his head suddenly with a pale face in disbelief, with an expression of disbelief, "Impossible, why haven't we heard of it? You must be lying to us?"

As for why haven't you heard of it?

Because most of the lawsuits filed by parents suing their children for unfilial piety are because their children are adults, there is no need to mention this at all.

Snapped!

The county magistrate Zhou picked up the gavel again and slapped it heavily, scolding loudly, "Lin Sanniu, are you questioning the country's national laws and regulations? Are you questioning this official? If you don't believe it, Come here, go to the judicial treasury, and bring the "law of filial piety" to this official!"

"Yes, my lord!" Someone immediately went to do it.

While Lin Sanniu and others were uneasy, someone soon came over with a thick book. This book was obviously "The Law of Filial Piety".

When the master turned to Article 1633, he first showed it to adults, and then the county magistrate Zhou showed this law to bystanders.

Some of these bystanders knew some words, so they read it out loud and let everyone listen.

At the end, the county magistrate Zhou picked up the gavel and re-shot it, and said with a serious expression, "Quiet! This official pronounces the sentence: the plaintiff Lin Sanniu sued his daughter Lin Yuelan for being unfilial, and the crime is not convicted!"
