Chapter 162 The Zhuo Family in the Provincial Capital
Hua Rujin didn't want to get involved in the two people's affairs, so she just ate the mutton by herself, drinking the newly brewed osmanthus wine, not to mention how delicious it was.
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Zhu Zhiye felt extremely satisfied and kept picking the mutton for her, without any dignity from a prince.
When several people were enjoying their meal, the owner of the racecourse suddenly walked in anxiously and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there are two guests outside, saying they are Miss Xunhua's."
"Who is so blind that he didn't see Miss Hua eating?"
Zhu Zhiye glared at the racecourse owner in displeasure at being disturbed in his mood.
Hua Rujin guessed that someone came to inquire about something, so she hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, since we found here, I am afraid that we will know our whereabouts in advance."
Only then did Zhu Zhiye dispel his doubts and said in a deep voice: "Bring him in."
After getting the answer, the owner of the racecourse waved outside.
Not long after, Cheng Nini led a strange man in.
"Sister Hua, this uncle said that he has something important to ask of me. Grandpa Goupi asked me to bring him to see you."
Cheng Nini bowed her head respectfully to several people and reported truthfully.
Hua Rujin stood up and pulled Cheng Nini to sit in front of her. She looked at the person who came and looked at her sad face. She was afraid that there might be some trouble, so she asked bluntly: "What do you want from me?"
The man knelt down on the spot and begged in tears: "Please Miss Hua help me to save my poor sister in danger."
Wu Muning heard that this person came to ask for grievances, and he immediately became interested and asked casually: "If you have any difficulties, you should explain the matter first. I'm afraid it will scare me."
This charming flower shopkeeper next to me."
"Don't talk nonsense, Rujin is so delicate."
Zhu Zhiye felt that this girl always spoke with a gun and a stick today, and she didn't know how to restrain herself in front of outsiders, so she scolded with some dissatisfaction.
Hua Rujin didn't care about this trivial matter. On the contrary, she agreed with Wu Muning's point of view. The visitor did not say anything before giving such a gift, which indeed made her feel a lot of pressure. She hurriedly asked the owner of the racecourse to help him up and whispered:
"What happened to my sister? How can I help you? You might as well tell me directly. The young lady next to me is Miss Wu, one of the four talented women. She is also a warm-hearted person. If my sister is indeed wronged, Miss Wu is also willing to
Make the decision for you."
The man sighed: "I, Mu Ran, came here specially from the provincial capital. I have a cousin who killed someone out of anger in the court a few days ago. I beg Miss Hua and Miss Wu to defend my cousin and get rid of the crime."
.”
"What? You kill people in court, you are so contemptuous of the authority of the court, and you still want us to defend people and get rid of guilt. Isn't this a clear attempt to trick us?"
When Wu Mu Ning heard this, she was immediately unhappy. With a cold face, she waved to the owner of the racecourse and prepared to take him out.
"That's not true. My cousin was forced to do such an extreme thing."
Mu Ran tried his best to explain.
Hua Rujin suddenly thought of the case that Ye Chengkuan had mentioned before leaving, and comforted Wu Muning: "Miss Wu might as well listen to him explain the matter clearly first."
Wu Mu Ning's eyes paused for a moment, and then he nodded and said, "Tell me, I want to see why your cousin dared to act so boldly."
The man pondered for a moment and said in detail: "The cause of the matter has to be told half a year ago. My cousin's parents died early. Before my aunt and uncle died, there was an orphan who was waiting to be fed. It was my cousin who worked hard to raise her.
, finally raised him to the age of ten, but he was insulted to death by the young master of the Zhuo family in the provincial capital half a year ago.
This case was already settled, but because Shi Junmu submitted a complaint saying that the young master of the Zhuo family was mentally ill, in the end he only gave the old lady who had taken care of the young master Zhuo eighty blows, and then had the young master Zhuo arrested.
She was acquitted on the spot, and my cousin appealed to the government several times, all the way to the Provincial Procuratorate, only to get the same result. She couldn't bear that her little sister died unjustly, and she just watched the murderer go unpunished.
Committed this unforgivable crime."
After hearing this, Hua Rujin suddenly fell into deep thought.
Ye Chengkuan rushed to the provincial capital in a hurry to deal with the matter. Now that the family members of the perpetrators have traveled thousands of miles to Jiangling City for help, it seems that Ye Chengkuan has already made a verdict.
Since ancient times, mental illness has been the best excuse used by criminals in many cases to exploit loopholes in the law. In our world, where science and technology are advanced and developed, there are many ways to identify such diseases. It is not easy to find scientific methods these days.
method of judgment.
Moreover, she studied the laws of Daye, and indeed there are clear regulations in this regard, that is, if a family has a mad patient, it must be reported to the government immediately, and it must be clear who is responsible for caring for the patient. If there is any mistake, the guardian can be punished with a maximum penalty of 100, while a madman must be punished.
Those who kill or injure others due to illness are generally the same as in my own time, and there is an exemption policy.
This Shi Junmu is worthy of being the leader of the four major litigants in Jiangling City. It is indeed clever to come up with such a way to exonerate people. But if Mu Ran's ten-year-old cousin was really insulted to death, and the man named Zhuo was also
If he is not really guilty of any madness, then this person's heart is even more vicious than that of He Shiyin, Gu Langxi and others.
Seeing that no one said anything, Mu Ran knelt down again and kowtowed:
"Everything I said is true, and I have also heard about the Zhuo family member. I have never heard that he has any kind of madness. However, he has done a lot of evil in recent years, but he has escaped the punishment of the law time and time again. My sister-in-law this time
It can be regarded as justice for heaven. I asked them all the way down. Even the famous Miss He and Mr. Tao in Jiangling City were unwilling to intervene in this matter when they learned that they were from the Zhuo family in the provincial capital. I really had no choice but to ask for help.
Miss Hua, please help."
"The Zhuo family in the provincial capital?"
Zhu Zhiye seemed to have thought of something: "If I remember correctly, King Fu's biological mother is from the Zhuo family in Jiangxia County, Wuchang Prefecture. Does the Zhuo family you mentioned have anything to do with this?"
"It is Concubine Zhuo's natal family."
Mu Ran did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully: "When Concubine Zhuo was alive, the Zhuo family relied on her to ascend to heaven. With the protection of Prince Fu in these years, the Zhuo family has become the most prestigious royal merchant in our Huguang Chief Envoy Department. It can be said that
It’s a hand that covers the sky.”
"This is a bit difficult to handle."
Wu Muning glanced at Prince Ning. Because of Concubine Lu, she knew that he had never liked to have anything to do with the most powerful princes in the capital. This matter involved Prince Fu, and he was afraid that he would not want to interfere.
The Wu family has always been cautious. Although his father could tolerate him coming out to fight injustices for others, he would never allow himself to go against King Fu's power.
Hua Rujin pondered for a long time. She did not worry about Prince Fu and said thoughtfully: "No matter whether Mr. Zhuo is crazy or not, your sister did kill people in front of the court. Mr. Mu is here."
What are your plans for interrogating me? You should know that this kind of thing can lead to death penalty and life punishment."
