Chen Fuyin frowned and looked at Song Ziyu who was kneeling in the hall, and thought again of the emperor's oral instructions today.
It is an imperial order to ask him to treat Song Ziyu leniently, but how can he be lenient enough to be accepted by the people and avoid being criticized?
This is a difficult problem.
Suddenly, he heard the discussion of the people outside the hall, and his brows suddenly widened.
Zhou Yu's current reputation among the people is very bad, and some people even think that he deserves to die. If Song Ziyu was given a lenient sentence, there shouldn't be many people saying anything.
"Pa" Chen Fuyin patted the gavel.
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, "Mr. 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 who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people, right?"
Chen Fuyin nodded, "Yes."
"I was looking through the files a few days ago and found a case.
It was a case that took place forty years ago. The late emperor's eldest sister, Princess Chaohua, was traveling incognito and was blocked and robbed by a blind man. Her Royal Highness Princess Chaohua was brave and stabbed the blind man to death immediately.
Later, the family of the blind man brought a lawsuit to 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 is really thoughtful. In order to save her daughter, she uncovered all the cases from forty years ago.
"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.
The files he originally gave to Madam, he found out after a lot of connections.
"Why is Madam talking about a case from forty years ago?"
Cui'er was confused and asked Hui'er beside her in a low voice.
Huier thought for a while, 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 intention. 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, so wouldn't this case be the same as that of Princess Chaohua?
The emperor broke the law and the common people were equally guilty. Her Royal Highness Princess Chaohua was found not guilty of killing the blind man. There is no reason why Song Ziyu is guilty of killing Zhou Yu, right?"
The 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 brought up the case forty years ago! This round and round, King Zhou heard Shi was a little dizzy, she looked at Shen Wan and said: "What does it mean to be a princess?
A princess is not guilty of murder. Can your daughter compare with other princesses?
Song Ziyu should pay for my husband 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, as smart as you can 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 he was also unreasonable.
"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?"
