Holding his two skinny sons tightly, Chen Xiliang looked at Sanlang who was huddled in the corner... Of course, this was from his perspective. In fact, Chen Sanlang had to lean in the corner because he had to serve as a bed for his two younger brothers.
of.
But from the father's point of view, this was a son who had gotten into trouble, and he was afraid of his own performance. He felt sour in his heart, moved his two younger sons to his left arm, and freed his right arm and said: "Sanlang, come here, daddy..."
"
"No more..." Chen Sanlang felt a chill and couldn't help but hug his arms tightly. Although he really regarded Wulang and Liulang as his younger brother, he still couldn't accept that such a father appeared again.
"Come here, dad doesn't blame you..." Chen Xiliang felt even more pity when he saw this.
'Damn, there's nothing I can do, just bear with it.' Since he regards himself as Sanlang, he must be dedicated to his work. He said silently in his heart: 'I am Chen Sanlang, I am Chen Sanlang...' While performing self-hypnosis, he slowly
Teng Teng leaned over.
Chen Xiliang kept his right arm hanging, almost too sore to lift it, so he waited for Sanlang and hugged him tightly in his arms.
Chen Sanlang suddenly had goosebumps all over his body and his spine felt chilly. He only had one thought in his mind: 'I was hugged by a man, uh, so tightly...' His back couldn't help but tighten.
Feeling his son's uneasiness, Chen Xiliang still thought that he was afraid, so he patted his back gently and said, "Don't worry, daddy is back."
Although he felt uncomfortable all over, Chen Sanlang still felt warm in his heart. God knows how helpless he was these days, how much he hoped that a god could save him.
The father and son were affectionate for a while, then Chen Xiliang hugged Liulang, took Sanlang and Wulang, and strode towards the main room.
In the main room, Chen Xishi and Hou Shi were sitting and lying down, and their two sons were also ordered to stand on the left and right sides. The couple looked at the father and son who walked in with anger on their faces.
Chen Xiliang put Liulang on the ground, bowed deeply to his brother and sister-in-law, and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, my little brother is back."
The two of them ignored him, turned away and made angry gestures.
Chen Xiliang didn't take it too seriously. He stood up and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that so many things have happened in just over forty days. All the mistakes are my fault. It's all my fault that I should have been preoccupied with my career and neglected being a father.
It’s all my responsibility. It’s all because I’m usually too tolerant, which makes people think they can be bullied…”
The first half of what he said was pleasant to the two parents, but when it came to the second half, it felt extremely harsh. The scholar did not use curse words when he cursed people, but he was clearly scolding them for having no family affection, bullying young children, and being completely unconscionable.
Now Mrs. Hou couldn't help it anymore, she immediately said with all her firepower: "I thought that my second brother was a gentle man, but who would have thought that he actually taught some evil tricks like sneaking around and beating up elders! I'm not going to harm the face of the whole family. I don't think so."
Send them to the official. I thought you should come back to teach them a lesson and apologize to my sister-in-law who almost died. But you came in so aggressively, I couldn't help but feel no shame, and instead beat them up. I finally understand, like a father.
The root of your son's misdeeds lies with you as the father." After saying 'Ouch,' he groaned and said, "There's nothing to say, I'm going to report to the official, I'm going to report to the official..."
This woman was very powerful with a gun and a stick. She had obviously read the manuscript several times before, and finally came up with her trump card: "Don't think that because we don't know a few words, we don't know that according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, beating and murdering grandparents are prohibited."
, grandmother, uncles and parents, it is a heinous crime!"
These words made Chen Sanlang feel a storm in his heart. He never thought that it would have such serious consequences...even more terrifying than those hired workers said. He didn't know that this was also the result of the uncle and his wife sharpening their guns in the face of battle.
Sanlang couldn't help but steal a glance at Chen Xiliang, and saw that the other person didn't show any surprise. Obviously, for people with a certain level, this is common sense. He couldn't help but lament in his heart: "It's not enough if you don't understand the law. If you can get over it this time, you must first
I have learned the criminal laws of the Song Dynasty by heart...' But now, I am helpless and can only rely on this advantage.
You have to work harder, Father...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sister-in-law is right. There is indeed an article of 'evil and rebellion' in the criminal code of the Song Dynasty." Chen Xiliang shook off his usual taciturnity and sneered: "But you know one thing but not the other. We, the Song Dynasty, built our country on morality and established the country with morality.
Punishment is not about punishment, but about education and engendering good deeds. Therefore, there are "three verticals" and "three forgivenesses" in the cautious punishment regulations."
Hou was confused. How could she know anything about the criminal law of the Song Dynasty? The crime mentioned just now was taught word by word by Chen Xishi. Now that she heard that there is also such a thing as 'forgiveness and caution', her eyes darkened.
.
Chen Xishi also pondered silently. "Song Xingtong" has a sea of articles. Except for the second child who has to take the exam, who can study it carefully?
"The so-called 'three verticals' refer to crimes committed by the old, the young, the weak, and stupid people. Considering their ability to act, their crimes may be exempted or reduced. The 'three excuses' refer to crimes of ignorance, forgetfulness, and negligence, because these are unintentional crimes.
, so his sentence is reduced." It was precisely because he knew the seriousness of the matter that Chen Xiliang rushed back overnight. While rushing, he was thinking about how to exonerate Sanlang... He naturally considered whether to lower his profile and
I beg Madam Hou to let her family go, but don't let her stop thinking about suing him. It will always be a hidden danger in the future.
After much thought, he decided to fight back with a strong attitude, letting the Hou family know that this matter would not be beneficial to anyone. So he wrote out the draft: "My court has stipulated that people over seventy years old, under fifteen years old and seriously ill
Those who are above eighty years old, under ten years old and seriously ill can apply for a reduction or exemption for capital crimes such as treason and murder. Ordinary theft or wounding can also be punished with a fine."
"My Sanlang was born in the month of the third year of Jingyou's reign. He is nine years and seven months old, so he naturally complies with the exemption regulations for children under ten years old. What do children under ten years old know about the laws of the Song Dynasty, and what crimes do they know about evil and rebellious crimes? Naturally, they also meet the requirements of ignorance.
The scope of crime reduction." Chen Xiliang said vigorously: "Although they are both 'evil treason', 'beating an elder' is naturally much lighter than 'murdering an elder'. It is only sentenced to assassination and sent to the army. And in court,
I will petition for relief. The big order must be reported to the court on my behalf. The current official is a benevolent monarch who has never been seen in the past. When the time comes, he will forgive my son!" Chen Xiliang said boldly.
"How do you know the officials will be lenient?" Chen Xishi finally couldn't help but said.
"Because my son has extenuating circumstances!" Chen Xiliang said word for word.
"It's excusable, what a joke!" Hou said angrily: "No matter how hard it is, he can't take advantage of it!"
"You first beat my youngest son until his nose and mouth bleeded, and then knocked my third son unconscious. Do you have to stand aside and watch?" Chen Xiliang's face also darkened.
"I wanted to teach Liulang a lesson, but your two sons came up to beat me. I just slapped and pushed me. Who knew your boy couldn't help but hit me?" Hou said plausibly: "So what if I hit you?
If their parents are not around, I, as the aunt, have the responsibility to discipline them!"
"What mistake did they make and they need your discipline?" Chen Xiliang said with cold eyes.
"Stealing chickens and dogs, this is not a trivial matter, right?" Hou said plausibly: "Stealing chickens when I was young, stealing silver when I was old, can I not care about it?"
"Impossible, my son will never be sneaky!" Chen Xiliang said flatly.
"You are still talking nonsense!" Hou said angrily: "My crowing rooster was stolen and eaten by them. I found the irrefutable evidence from your body, Xiaoliu. Ask them if this is the case?!
"
"It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!" Chen Xiliang laughed sadly and said: "How can eating one's own chicken be called stealing?"
"That's my chicken!" Hou said angrily.
"Excuse me, sister-in-law, when did our families separate?" Chen Xiliang said coldly.
"This..." Hou was immediately strangled by the neck.
"If the family had not been separated, the belongings of the Chen family would have been left behind by the first descendant. I wonder if his surname is Chen or Hou?" Chen Xiliang exhaled a long sigh.
"Handsome..." Chen Sanlang couldn't help but secretly applaud. It seems that he needs to re-evaluate this irresponsible and cheap dad.
"Taking it without telling you is stealing!" Chen was at a loss for words, so Chen Xishi had no choice but to go into battle himself.
"Why did you take it without suing? Because you can't get it even if you sue!" Chen Xiliang slammed the table and said, "Please tell me why my son was driven into that shack. Are they wild cats and dogs?
?Please tell me why my son, who is less than ten years old, has to do heavy labor and will not be given food if he makes any mistakes! Are they your slaves? Please tell me why my son died.
When they got into the water, you not only refused to heal them, but also refused to feed them for several days. Are they your enemies?"
"You don't answer these questions, but you want to dwell on the fact that my son ate one of our own chickens," Chen Xiliang said angrily with a smile: "You are not embarrassed, I am ashamed of you! You also asked me why the officials would forgive me.
Son, you are indeed crazy!"
Now Chen Xishi was also speechless.
Chen Xiliang sighed heavily and said in a slower tone: "Brother, we are brothers and sisters, and we are of the same spirit. Even if we can't treat Congzi as our own, we won't abuse him like this, right? What on earth do you want to do?
Brother Xiaoliang is so awesome, please recommend me!!! You must keep the list, my dears!!!
Well, the hairpin that Sanlang gave to Chen is gone. It’s not that it’s difficult to avoid in terms of criminal law, but it feels bloody. Bloody is not bloody. I just started the book and I’m not sure at the moment. I’m sorry everyone, it will be fine later...
The next update will be around eight o'clock. From now on, we will return to eight o'clock in the morning and evening... additional updates will be calculated separately.;
