It is not difficult to see from the complaint that the defendant Shi is a person with bad moral character.
He is still a scholar, but he is simply praising the sage's book in vain! Patricide, wife abuse, and son-killing, which of these are not beastly things?
In particular, Qi Yu had personal experience of Ye's experiences. He thought that when his wife gave birth to Qi Xiao, she suffered a miscarriage due to trauma. At that time, both mother and son's lives were hanging by a thread, and they were worried that they would not be able to survive every day.
In response, I was helpless and helpless, so I had no choice but to kneel down in front of the gods and Buddhas like a coward.
Although several years have passed since this incident, I still feel frightened when I think about it.
Perhaps influenced by this emotion, Qi Yu subconsciously stood on Ye's side without hesitation. Of course, morally he should do the same.
"Where is the defendant now?"
"He... doesn't want to come..."
Drink! The airs are not small! Still don’t want to come?
You have the final say on this matter?
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned cold.
The recent Qi Dalang was already dark and thin, but now his complexion looks as blue as the sky.
Well, it seems that there is still one month left~~
Seeing his majestic official power, Mrs. Ye shuddered as if on conditioned reflex. After a pause, she hurriedly spat out the rest of the unfinished words: "Go back to Mr. Qingtian, that man doesn't want to
The marriage with the slave family was separated, so I deliberately delayed it."
Oh, I see.
This is a deliberate avoidance.
Legally speaking, if the defendant is not present, the presiding judge will generally not make an arbitrary judgment. At the very least, he will have to wait until both the defendant and the plaintiff are present before making a judgment.
When it comes to lawsuits, the public is always right and the mother-in-law is right. How can one just listen to one side of the story?
That would be so unfair.
However, Qi Dalang didn't think so. He firmly believed that in this case, all the responsibilities lay solely on the man.
At the same time, he also believes that men who bully their wives are the most incompetent scum in the world, and if they are all caught, they will not be unjust.
You should be like Qi Jing and give in to your wife in everything. That is what marriage should be like.
Ahem, that's too far off topic.
In short, if this Shi was ‘done’ directly, he would never be wronged.
Maybe someone has said that it is not appropriate to break up with someone because of their fame and status!
Cut it and break it off correctly!
If a dignified fourth-grade magistrate can't deal with a sour scholar like him, then why bother messing around?
The general policy is set.
Gan!
Suddenly, Qi Yu opened his thinking eyes and asked Ye as kindly as possible: "Let me tell you, what kind of verdict do you want?"
Uh...why do you ask that?
Aren't you the one who has the final say in deciding the case?
Mrs. Ye was a little stunned...
In fact, Mr. Qi's original intention was just to hear her thoughts to show respect for the woman's wishes. However, to others, it sounded like a negotiation.
When an official asks a question, the people must answer.
However, this time it was Ye's elder brother who answered on behalf of his sister: "Returning to Mr. Qi, the common people's idea is to ask the government to educate my brother-in-law so that he will not make such a mistake again in the future. In addition, he must be compensated.
The money for my father's coffin cannot be paid by my family... Also, don't divorce them. If that happens, who will support my sister?"
What, pay for the coffin?
Is this how you make a living?
Qi Yu was a little displeased. He slapped the gavel angrily and said, "I said, have I asked you anything? Who asked you to speak? Shut up! Madam Ye, come back to me.
if."
"I..." Ye hesitated, still stunned.
Qi Yu didn't rush her, he just stared at her silently and tried to figure out what she was thinking.
It can be clearly seen that she is still very willing to divorce, but she is afraid of her brother being displeased and dare not say it openly.
She was a little scared.
However, this is a normal reaction.
At present, women's social status is very low and they are a vulnerable group with no voice. But in fact, they are half of the sky of this country.
Qi Yu feels that if he cannot protect the interests of vulnerable groups, his position as an official will lose its fundamental meaning.
People are precious!
The traditional spiritual shackles are deeply rooted, and now it is time to loosen them.
Qiongzhou's development is multi-faceted, not only about its economic and military strength, but also about the improvement of people's thinking. Only when people make progress can it be considered real progress.
Without going too far, let’s get back to the case at hand.
According to Qi Yu's thinking, he was very determined to divorce them. However, there was a prerequisite for this, which was to respect the woman's original intention. That's why he asked like that just now.
"Mr. Ye, answer the question..."
"Well...it all depends on the adults..." After holding it in for a long time, Mr. Ye finally said this.
Is this a sign of lack of assertiveness, or is it a direct delegation of authority?
No matter what it is, you have to accept this job. Being trusted by others is a blessing that you must not let down.
"Okay!" Qi Yu nodded solemnly and agreed.
In this way, Ye Shi placed all the responsibilities on the prefect alone. Even if his brother was dissatisfied, he did not dare to speak out openly.
That being the case, let’s make a judgment.
As far as the current divorce system is concerned, it can be roughly divided into two categories.
The first type is called divorce. Specifically, the man divorces the woman on the grounds that she has violated the seven-law rule. The seven-law divorce is: one has no children, two has committed adultery, and three has not taken care of his aunt.
Four tongues, five thefts, six jealousies, and seven evil diseases.
It can be seen that when it comes to divorcing his wife, the man has the absolute initiative, but the woman has no right to refuse. Furthermore, in terms of prognosis, it is extremely difficult for a divorced woman to remarry because of her bad reputation.
The second method is called reconciliation. As the name suggests, reconciliation is a divorce based on the principle of peace. After both parties have no objections, the documents can be signed in the witness of the family. From then on, there will be no grudges between the two parties.
It’s worth mentioning that if one of the parties has no family members, they can also come to the government to handle it.
Theoretically, a woman can remarry after a divorce, but this is only theoretical.
However, the above two methods have one thing in common, that is, the man must be present before they can be carried out. Looking at now, the defendant Shi deliberately avoided it, looking for such a legal loophole.
Scholars know the law and are good at using it, but this time they used it in the wrong place.
Because, in addition to the above two common methods, the government also holds an extremely rarely used right to decree divorce, which is called "Yi Jue". And Qi Yu plans to exercise this special right.
The severance mentioned here does not refer to whether the relationship between husband and wife reaches the level of severance, but a standard red line based on the law.
As far as the man is concerned, if the husband beats his wife's grandparents, parents, and kills his wife's grandparents, uncles, parents, brothers, aunts, sisters, etc., they can all be sentenced to death. The government only needs to determine the facts and can do so in accordance with the law.
To issue a verdict, the man does not need to make a statement.
According to the facts of the case, the defendant Shi pushed his father-in-law and caused him to die in anger. This has obviously reached the red line of the law and can be deemed unjust.
Judgment!
In addition, the money for the coffin must also be paid by Shi. If it were not for the fact that this was a civil lawsuit, Qi Yu would have wanted to pursue criminal liability.
Strictly speaking, although Shi was killed, it was not intentional homicide. Therefore, there was no legal basis to place him under supervision and investigation.
However, we can't let him be so cheap...
Back to business.
Qi Yu acted vigorously and resolutely, doing whatever he said, and the case was closed on the spot in a matter of seconds.
After the verdict, Ye's brother said worriedly: "Now that she has been sentenced to justice, how will my sister live in the future?"
That means, who will raise her?
"What a fool!" Qi Yu glared at him first, then said to the woman: "Don't worry, after a while, I will order the establishment of a textile factory. At that time, you can
Go in and work to earn wages. If anyone dares to stop you, come and report it, and we will make the decision for you. You have to remember that everyone has hard-working hands. As long as you are not lazy, there is no need to worry about not being able to support yourself.
?”
Then, there were some words of encouragement.
Although Mr. Ye was a little concerned about gains and losses, he still nodded in approval.
The prefect has already thought of a way out for himself, and has even said that he will make the decision for himself, so what else is there to worry about?
…
After withdrawing from the court, Qi Yu specially called Liu Shicheng, the manager of the ceremonial room, and said: "This Mr. Shi is morally corrupt and has no compassion. It really makes me feel disgusted. In this case, you should immediately submit a letter to the Provincial Government Yamen.
Fang Chu, try to deprive him of his status as a scholar."
What? Waste one’s fame?
This move is quite cruel!
Liu Shicheng said with some pity: "Sir, I have few scholars in Qiongzhou, and now I want to deliberately abolish them. This is very detrimental to... our cultural and educational achievements."
In the face of political achievements and people's livelihood, which is more important?
When it’s time to make a choice, you have to make a choice!
Qi Yu looked determined and said: "Those so-called political achievements are just for the people above to see, I really don't care!"
"Really useless?"
"It's really useless!" Qi Yu nodded and said angrily: "What's the use of keeping the fame of a morally corrupt person like him? If it's useless, it's useless. I don't feel bad at all! I, Qiongzhou, are lacking.
They are real talents, not those sanctimonious people. Talents should be selected in a proper manner. It is better to take a bite of fairy peach than to eat a basket of rotten apricots."
"Uh...yes!"
"..."
After arranging these trivial matters, Qi Yu once again picked up the two pleadings on the case.
After reading it again, it is not difficult to find that the wording in the article is rigorous, the thinking is clear, and the writing and ink are quite impressive.
It is precisely because of this that I can roughly understand the outline of the case at a glance and have a clear mind.
I didn’t expect that my barren Qiongzhou could actually harbor such talented women!
