Chen Fuyin frowned and looked at Song Ziyu who was kneeling in the hall. He remembered again that the emperor had ordered him to give Song Ziyu a lenient sentence today. The emperor's order cannot be violated, but how to give a lenient sentence to the people? How can we accept it without being criticized? This is a difficult problem.
Suddenly, he heard the discussion of the people outside the hall, and his brows suddenly relaxed. Zhou Yu's reputation among the people is very bad now, and some people even think that he deserves to die. If Song Ziyu is sentenced so lightly, there should not be many people saying anything. .
"Pa" Chen Fuyin patted the gavel tree.
Shen Wan, who was thinking, was startled. Knowing that Chen Fuyin was about to pronounce the sentence, she quickly looked up at him and said, "Master Chen, before you pronounce the sentence, I have a few words to say."
Chen Fuyin said nothing and made a gesture of invitation.
Shen Wan walked to the hall, everyone looked at her, wanting to see what she would say?
"Master Chen, according to the laws of the Dongchen Kingdom, the emperor's violation of the law is the same as the common people's crime, right?"
Chen Fuyin nodded, "Yes."
"A few days ago, I was looking through the files and found a case. It was a case from forty years ago. The late emperor's eldest sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Chaohua, was traveling incognito. She was blocked by a blind man and robbed her. Her Royal Highness Princess Chaohua was brave. , he immediately stabbed the blind Liu to death. Later, the family of the blind Liu sued the Fuyin Yamen, and the Yamen found Her Royal Highness Princess Chaohua not guilty."
The case forty years ago was too long ago. Although Chen Fuyin had never experienced it personally, he had heard people talk about it when he was a child. I have to say that Mrs. Song was really thoughtful. In order to save her daughter, she put the forty All the cases from years ago have been uncovered.
"I heard my grandfather talk about this case. My grandfather said that many people at that time praised Her Royal Highness Princess Hua Chang for her bravery!"
"I also heard my father say it. My father also said that Her Royal Highness Princess Chaohua is to eliminate harm for the people, and women will not be inferior to men."
Butler Yun couldn't help but give Madam a thumbs up in his heart. Unexpectedly, Madam actually found a way to save the eldest lady. He found out the files he originally gave Madam after many connections.
"Why are you talking about a case from forty years ago, madam?" Cui'er was puzzled and asked Hui'er beside her in a low voice.
Huier thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but Madam has her own intentions."
"Oh." Cui'er nodded.
Song Ziyu carefully thought about the case her mother mentioned, and suddenly understood her mother's intentions. Her mother really had the best solution. She can go home today.
Shen Wan took two steps and then said: "Your Excellency just said that blackmail and robbery are the same. In this case, this case is the same as that of Princess Chaohua. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. Princess Chaohua Your Highness was found not guilty for killing the blind man, so there is no reason why Song Ziyu is guilty for killing Zhou Yu, right?"
The government officials in the hall and the people outside the hall were all stunned. It took a while before they came back to their senses. It turned out that this was the reason why Mrs. Song mentioned the case forty years ago!
This going around and around made Zhou Wang feel a little dizzy. She looked at Shen Wan and said, "What is the status of a princess? A princess is not guilty of murder. Can your daughter compare with other princesses? Song Ziyu is right. My husband should be paid with his life."
Shen Wan ignored Zhou Wang and looked at Chen Fuyin calmly.
"This Zhou Wang family is too stupid! Don't you know what it means that the emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people?"
"An ignorant village woman, how smart can you expect her to be, she only knows how to mess around." After watching it for a long time, they finally understood that this Zhou Wang family was really pitiful, but she was also an unprincipled person.
Reasonable.
"However, Mrs. Song is right. In the same case, it is unreasonable for Princess Chao Hua to be found not guilty, while Miss Song is found guilty."
"Yes! This is a precedent. Wouldn't it be unfair to convict those who came behind?"
