Chapter 2670: They should be punished with the crime of disrespect
Qin County Magistrate looked at Lan Yusheng and saw that he was dressed as a scholar, so he asked him: "Are you a scholar?"
Lan Yusheng said quickly: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, the student is seventeen years old this year, and he is a scholar who took the examination at the age of fourteen."
He deliberately told his age to let Magistrate Qin know that he had passed the scholar examination at a young age and would have a bright future. In this way, Magistrate Qin would take more care of him for the sake of his future colleagues.
.
Sure enough, when Magistrate Qin heard that he was a scholar, he stretched out his hand and said, "Stand up and speak."
Only then did Gu Dongxing let go of his control over Lan Yusheng. Lan Yusheng quickly stood up and saluted: "Student Lan Yusheng has met the county magistrate."
When Lan Yuhua saw her brother standing up, she wanted to stand up too. When they got here, Hua An was not afraid of her running away, so he let her get up.
As soon as Lan Yuhua stood up, she immediately shouted: "Master County Magistrate, my brother is a scholar, these people are just my cousin's slaves, but they forced my brother to kneel down, should he be punished with a crime of disrespect?"
?”
When everyone heard Lan Yuhua's words, they were stunned.
Even those who disrespect their parents can only use the word "disrespect" and never "disrespect" because "disrespect" specifically refers to criminal acts that offend the dignity of the emperor.
And Lan Yuhua actually refers to everyone's behavior of offending her brother as "disrespectful". What is she trying to say? Does her brother want to rebel and become the emperor?
Lan Yusheng was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and knelt down with a plop: "My little sister is young and ignorant, please forgive me."
When Lan Yuhua saw her brother acting like this, she quickly knelt down and said, "I, a little girl, don't know how to speak. Please forgive me, Lord Qingtian."
County Magistrate Qin looked at Lan Yuhua for a while, and then asked Lan Yusheng: "Can you plead guilty to what Hua An just complained about?"
He didn't let Lan Yusheng get up, and Lan Yusheng didn't dare to get up.
Lan Yusheng had already thought of a countermeasure on the way to the county government office. When she heard the Qin County Magistrate ask her, she quickly replied: "Your Majesty, please tell me about selling this Mu Xiang girl to Wanchun Tower.
It was indeed done by students."
Among everyone, not to mention Gu Dongxing and others, even the scar-faced man in Wanchun Tower was extremely surprised that he actually admitted to being a slave?
In order to avoid being accused of forcing girls into prostitution, they had already prepared how to refute him if he refused to admit it, but when they heard that he actually frankly admitted that he had sold Mu Xiang to them, they didn't know how to proceed.
.
A and others all breathed a sigh of relief, just admit it. But Gu Dongxing frowned: Lan Yusheng admitted so readily that he sold Mu Xiang, I'm afraid there may be consequences.
Instead, he became wary.
When Lan Yuhua heard that her brother admitted that she had sold Mu Xiang into prostitution, she was very anxious and shouted quickly: "Brother, you are confused."
Lan Yusheng interrupted her sister, and then said: "However, the student sold her as a punishment to Mu Xiang, and he did it as a last resort. But selling her to a brothel was not intentional, because at that time,
I just thought it was sold to Yazi, who didn’t explicitly say it was a brothel.”
When Mu Xiang heard what Lan Yusheng said, she immediately had a bad feeling: This Mr. Lan was probably going to pour dirty water on her.
She wanted to speak, but she didn't dare to grab him. She could only listen to what Lan Yusheng said.
"The owner of this girl Mu Xiang is the student's cousin. Both of her parents are dead. The student respects the orders of his elders and travels all the way to take his cousin home because he plans to marry her. But this girl Mu Xiang has been on the road many times.
He seduces students with the intention of using his cousin as his concubine."
When Mu Xiang heard that Lan Yusheng was confusing right and wrong, she immediately became anxious: "It's obviously you."
