Uncle Jiu left a pile of New Year's goods for Li Yuhua, and returned to his hometown for the New Year with the plan they discussed to open a workshop in the imperial capital. In the past, Li Yuhua managed the workshop in his hometown, but now that Li Yuhua has married to the imperial capital, the big manager of his hometown's workshop has been reassigned.
Uncle Jiu was very concerned about the current situation.
Li Yuhua has made it clear to Uncle Jiu that all matters in the hometown workshop will be taken care of by Uncle Jiu. From now on, she will take care of the Imperial Capital Workshop. As for the workshop built by Bai Muxiang in Northern Xinjiang, Bai Muxiang will be in charge.
Uncle Nine had just left, and Li Yuhua had seen all the New Year gifts that Uncle Nine had given her. She felt deeply that Uncle Nine was considerate, the jade from Northern Xinjiang, the carpets from Persia, and the spices from the food were all excellent things. If she were in the imperial capital,
The price is too high to buy. Uncle Jiu brought it from Northern Xinjiang, but it is much cheaper than buying someone else’s.
Now that Li Yuhua has become the prince's concubine, she needs these luxurious items. Uncle Ninth always lets her choose first, and then sells the rest to various shops in the imperial capital.
It’s better to have family members. Li Yuhua thought to himself.
It's just that it's not easy to get credit here at Uncle Xiao Jiu. There is not enough cash in the house, and Li Yuhua also used his own private money. Li Yuhua calculated the accounts clearly. Mu Anzhi lent her this money, and she will wait until Mu Anzhi gets his salary next year.
The money has to be paid back, so she won't take the initiative to subsidize Mu Anzhi.
Grandma Sun didn't know the inside story, but she felt that Li Yuhua was a really good person. She used her private house to subsidize the Third Highness, which showed that she treated the Third Highness sincerely.
Li Yuhua also took some time to count the New Year's goods sent to Chang Shisi. Hua Changshi, Du Changshi and others also felt considerate when receiving the New Year's goods. They had food, clothing, materials, pens and ink in the study. The things were not expensive, but they were all valuable.
The food should be eaten and used. The remaining minor officials are divided into three grades according to their official positions, and everyone has a share.
Everyone is getting ready to celebrate the New Year. The imperial capital government has issued a verdict on the case of a wife who killed her husband. Killing a wife with her husband is an act of humiliation. It is unacceptable in the laws of heaven. The law severely punishes the case and the sentence is to be executed.
Hao refused to accept the decision and appealed to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Li Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment said, "Nowadays, cats and dogs are sued. What else can be sued for such a heinous crime?"
Li Shangshu's face soothed, "Everyone has the desire to live in secret. Since this woman is suing, you should review the evidence process of the Imperial City. If there are no errors or omissions, follow the judgment of the Imperial City."
If Li Shangshu had said a word in the past, the case would have been settled. But now that the Ministry of Punishment has Mu Anzhi, Mu Anzhi ignores other matters and pays special attention to the case. After the Zhu case, Mu Anzhi also pays more attention to other cases in the Ministry of Punishment.
Now that he saw this case, it was Li Yuhua who had specifically entrusted him with it. Mu Anzhi had been prepared for it. After seeing the case file, he said, "It would be too much for the Imperial Capital to decide this case."
Receive trial in person.
Hua Changshidu advised him by the side, "Kill a person to pay for his life. The imperial capital's general judgment originally recommended the punishment of Ling Chi. However, in recent years, God has the virtue of a good life, and this woman does have some pity, so I only recommend it."
The sentence is to be executed."
Du Changshi spoke more directly, "Even though it is pitiable, killing her husband with a knife is too cruel. Killing her with a sword does not mean she has been wronged."
Mu Anzhi opened the file without haste and read the verdict of the Imperial Palace case at a glance. From the evidence bag, he found the document stating that Hao's husband, Xiao Erlang, sold his wife. He took it out separately, put it on the desk, held it down with his fingertips and gently said
The previous comment said, "Since this woman was sold by her husband, they are no longer husband and wife. How can we judge the wife for killing her husband? This is extremely inappropriate."
Mu Anzhi's faint words were so shocking that Hua Changshi couldn't help but stand up from his chair, tapped the folding fan on his palm, walked back and forth for two steps, clicked the folding fan on his palm, and bowed deeply to Mu Anzhi, "Your Highness
He was so knowledgeable and insightful, but my subordinates didn’t pay attention to it, so I almost unjustly sentenced this poor woman, which is a real crime.”
When Du Changshi saw Hua Changshi's sudden U-turn, he immediately realized that whether this woman was dead or alive actually had little to do with His Highness, but this case, which everyone originally thought was an ironclad case,
Being able to reverse the principles of morality and law will have a huge impact on His Highness the Third Prince.
Du Changshi was not in a hurry to behead the couple who killed the couple. He said, "Yes. In this case, it is indeed unreasonable to judge a wife for killing her husband."
Mu Anzhi ordered, "After verifying the evidence, since this woman has been sold to the casino, the owner of the casino will be called to court for questioning."
The two of them responded in unison.
It is really refreshing that Mu Anzhi raised such doubts about this case. Indeed, when the man put his fingerprint on the purchase and sale document, the woman was no longer his wife. The two strangers had a dispute, and one of them
The other party killed him. This was just an ordinary murder case. It is obviously inappropriate to put this case into a treason case of a wife killing her husband.
As soon as the case was handed over, Imperial Palace Governor Yin Li received an invisible slap in the face.
Du Changshi felt that the Ministry of Punishment's reversal of the case would offend the new governor of the imperial capital, but then he thought, who cares, anyway, there are only a few officials in the court who have good relations with his highness, and they are all enemies. Is it normal to offend him?
Back then, it was said that His Highness was not a direct descendant, and these bitches were very fond of Dong Gong's stinky feet.
When Du Changshi came back to his senses, he was shocked to realize that he was actually disrespecting the East Palace because of His Highness the Third Highness. He was also surprised for a moment. Could it be that in his heart, His Highness the Third Highness was already a lord whom he could serve?
Du Changshi shook his head secretly, but there was a ferocious aura rushing into his heart, and he thought viciously: I will serve whoever I want to serve! What's wrong with His Highness the Third Highness being so weak? Maybe someone with an unworldly talent like me will serve His Highness the Dragon.
It’s been nine days!
Then the snobbish person will definitely regret it!
Du Changshi had the ulterior motive to re-examine the case. Since it was a case that shocked the Imperial City and he was the new Governor of the Imperial City, he naturally tried the case carefully and all the evidence was complete, including the evidence of the woman's neighbor.
Some of the testimonies spoke highly of the woman, who was gentle, virtuous, and diligent and pliable. These testimonies were favorable to the woman, so the final verdict was pronounced without the use of torture such as Lingchi. There was also compassion for the woman in it.
The verdict of the Imperial Palace clearly stated: His actions can be punished, and his heart can be pitied.
However, the trial judgment of this case was wrong in the initial direction. Therefore, most of the judgments of the Imperial Palace can no longer be used.
Du Changshi looked through the testimonies, and found that the consistent evaluation of the woman surnamed Hao as "virtuous and honest" was the evaluation of the murdered man. He was lazy, wasted his family and career, was irritable and was unworthy of being a husband. Du Changshi
Shi Fu pounded his hand on the case file, spat, and cursed in a low voice, "This is a human being!"
"Brother, please calm down." Hua Changshi picked up the tea bowl and took a slow sip, "Angry can hurt your liver."
"Now I feel that it is unfair to sentence this woman to death." Du Changshi also brought tea to eat, and Hua Changshi said sternly, "It is indeed unfair. We should retry the case, give justice to the wronged, and give justice to the innocent.
The sinner is cleared."
Du Changshi's thoughts could not be straightened out for a while, because in his opinion, even if his wife did not kill her husband, it was still murder, and this Hao woman was definitely not innocent.
Even Mrs. Yong'an Hou did not expect that the case would actually be reversed after it was transferred to the Criminal Department. Mu Anzhi's instructions to Li Yuhua were even more concise and to the point.
"The first thing," Mu Anzhi's voice sounded in the study, "since you want to overturn the case for Hao, you must understand that the plaintiff and defendant, Hao was sold into slavery, and this case only sues the slave Hao, obviously
If it's not enough, the casino that bought Hao's should be listed as a defendant. In fact, the casino should be the first defendant. Buying slaves and maids is fun, the slaves break the law, and the master's family sits together."
Li Yuhua listened carefully and said, "That makes sense."
Mu Anzhi continued, "Second, the case record shows that the man who was killed, Xiao Erlang, had an elder brother. If we can get Xiao Dalang's forgiveness, it will also be helpful for Hao's sentencing."
"The third thing is, if the Xiao family's neighbors can jointly write a joint letter pleading for Hao's mercy, the government will handle it as appropriate."
Li Yuhua asked, "Is there anything else you want us to do?"
"Leave the rest to me. This is the responsibility of the government."
On the next day, Li Yuhua went to Mrs. Yong'an Hou in high spirits to discuss the Hao case.
Hua and Du also lived up to Mu An's trust and pried open the mouths of two casino debt collectors on the day when the case occurred. The two men restored the scene of the case at that time:
"The woman didn't obey. She cried and said that Xiao Er was too cruel and scolded her several times. The two children also hugged Hao's legs and cried. Xiao Er got angry and kicked one of the two children away.
Hao's hair was like a string of mouths. Hao became anxious, went back to the house, took out a knife and stabbed Xiao Er in the stomach."
Mu Anzhi, "It turns out that I killed someone out of necessity to save myself."
