When Xu Qing came over, the right minister of Hubei had already been thinking about it for a long time with his brows rubbed.
But I can't figure it out.
Yes, since the method of identifying relatives by shedding blood, only blood relatives can have blood compatibility. How come the blood of these two women is compatible with this baby?
Have two daughters?
impossible!
And the two women didn't even know each other.
At this moment, Xu Qing and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice came over. The right minister of the Ministry of Justice quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Master Shangshu, the uncle of Anding County."
Fang Xing, who was following the two men, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the title of his benefactor, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice.
An...An Ding county uncle?!
Of course he was familiar with the title of Anding County Bo. It had been resounding in the court since the imperial examination. He had followed the trend and boycotted the soft paper incident last time, but then he discovered that the soft paper was really useful.
However, the achievements of this Anding county uncle can be said to be numerous, including founding the state business, adding laws, buying newspapers, and reforming supervision.
Especially the supplement of laws made him, the head of the Criminal Department who was promoted by His Majesty as an exception, admire him very much.
But he didn't realize that this Anding County uncle turned out to be his former benefactor?
He can indeed be called a benefactor.
Although he received dozens of punishments and was imprisoned for many days, it was indeed his fault at the beginning that he did not care about money.
It was his benefactor who led him back to the right path in time, and also created a study environment for himself where no one would disturb him...
He originally thought that when he became the head of the Criminal Department, he would be able to help his former benefactor when he returned to his hometown in glory. But who would have thought that this benefactor would be promoted faster than himself!
When I was still the head of the Criminal Department, he was already a county earl!
It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!
The Minister of Punishment looked at the right minister of the Punishment Ministry and asked: "Is there any result?"
The right minister of the Ministry of Punishment shook his head: "Reporting to Lord Shangshu, I have already used blood to identify relatives. The blood of two women can be blended with the baby. I really have nothing to do."
The Minister of Punishment looked at Xu Qing and said, "Then I'll trouble my junior brother."
Xu Qing nodded, sat down on the court table, and patted the wall. The officers from the Ministry of Justice who were sitting on both sides of the room and discussing quietly suddenly became quiet.
The two women were sitting on their knees in the lobby. The woman on the right couldn't help but feel worried when she saw such a young official sitting in the lobby.
This young official looks less stable than the middle-aged official just now. How can such a person look like an official who can solve cases?
Xu Qing first asked a few simple questions, such as where are you from? Why did you come to the capital? Whose child is it?
After some interrogation, naturally there was no result.
Because these questions have long been asked by the right minister of the Ministry of Justice just now.
If it were possible to ask who the child was, it would have been done long ago.
Xu Qing sighed, looked at the two women kneeling in the hall and said: "Since your hometown is far away from here, and you are alone with no one to prove it, then I have nothing else to do. Otherwise, you guys grab it."
Take a look, whoever grabs it belongs to him."
The woman on the right suddenly looked desperate when she heard this. It turned out that this young official didn't know how to judge cases at all, how could he be so arbitrary?
But while the woman on the right was still hesitating, she felt that the woman on the left holding the baby's feet was already exerting force. At that moment, she had no choice but to pull the baby toward her without caring about how much.
But with this pull, the baby they were holding was awakened and started crying loudly. The baby's cries filled the whole hall.
When the baby cried like this, the woman on the right who was still fighting for the baby suddenly softened her heart. She was afraid of hurting the baby and relaxed her grip on the baby. She also had to protect the baby, fearing that the other party would not hold on tightly and the baby would fall.
.
Finally, the woman on the left finally got her wish and snatched away the child. Then she looked at Xu Qing who was sitting in the hall and said, "Sir, it was a civilian woman who snatched the child."
The Minister of Justice and the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned. They always felt that something was wrong. How could the child's ownership be decided in this way?
Even Fang Xing, who initially proposed cutting the child into pieces, frowned. It would be better to cut the child into pieces.
At this time, Xu Qing stood up and walked to the woman's side. The woman on the right still wanted to speak, but when she reached her lips, nothing could come out. Only the bitterness on her face was left, her throat was choked, and tears were rolling down her face.
.
The woman who had snatched the child looked at Xu Qing and said, "Sir, since the child belongs to a civilian woman, please arrest and interrogate this criminal woman who intended to snatch the child of a civilian woman."
Xu Qing looked at the baby who was still crying loudly and nodded: "I will certainly ask the guilty party. Your son is really cute and handsome. Can I hold him?"
The woman said: "Of course you can give us mother and son justice."
After saying that, the lady handed the child to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing carefully took the baby, held it unfamiliarly in his arms and shook it in an attempt to stop the baby's crying, but it was in vain. Xu Qing, realizing that it was fruitless, had to stop his movements, took two steps back and stood still, taking
He held the child at a relatively safe distance from the woman and said:
"Come here, arrest this woman who just snatched the child!"
After hearing the order, the government servants on the side took action together and held the woman down and kneeled on the ground.
Xu Qing carefully handed the still crying child back to the woman on the right and said, "Be careful next time and don't let anyone snatch it away again."
The woman on the right hugged the child and rocked it skillfully, and the baby's crying suddenly became quieter.
The woman also knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much for giving justice to the women of the people. Thank you so much for giving justice to the women of the people."
The woman who was held down by the officer either felt guilty or dissatisfied, so she yelled loudly: "Sir, the civilian woman was wronged. It was the civilian woman who had obviously snatched the child!"
Xu Qing looked at the woman and said: "Your child? You did everything you could to fight for it. Even if you made the baby cry, you wouldn't let go. On the contrary, the child's biological mother not only relaxed after hearing the child's cry, but
Instead of using your strength, you protected the child's head with your hands for fear of being injured. Now do you know where you went wrong?"
When the woman heard Xu Qing's words, she suddenly turned pale and collapsed to the ground.
The Minister of Punishment, the Right Assistant Minister of Punishment, and Fang Xing, the head of Punishment Department, suddenly realized.
The Minister of Punishment said in his heart: As expected of his junior brother, he was very considerate and protected the child in advance before giving orders. Alas, with this ability, it would be great if he could work as a minister in the Punishment Ministry.
The Right Minister of the Ministry of Punishment: No wonder the Lord Shangshu has always wanted the Anding county uncle to be the Minister. I really can't compare with him.
Fang Xing: "So that's it. It's obviously a method but it contains such variables. Is this just drawing inferences from one example? I understand!"
Xu Qing, who was in the audience, looked at the prison woman who was being held down by the guards and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you get caught this time. Just remember to pay attention to things in the next life."
The woman who was originally planning to be locked up for more than ten years and then be more careful when she comes out suddenly looked at Xu Qing with a pale face: "The law... the law... no... doesn't it say that stealing young children is only locked up for more than ten years?
?”
Xu Qing looked at the woman and said, "That was from last year. The new one this year is that buying and selling is the same crime. Autumn queens will be asked to be executed. Oh, autumn is not far away now."
The woman suddenly turned pale and her legs trembled. Xu Qing waved his hands and said, "Why are you doing this? In fact, you don't suffer. Look, this isn't the first time you've done this, right? You're so familiar with the law."
It means knowing the law and breaking the law with a one-level penalty."
"Let me settle the score for you. According to the original law, you have to be locked up for at least twenty years, but now Qiu Houwenzhan is different. In your next life, you will be a trafficker for up to eighteen years. You will be a trafficker again."
