How to make a famous minister

Chapter 62

"Crack" the gavel slapped, and there was silence in the hall.

"Suspect Liang Er..."

His modern statement immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Niu family, "Liang Er has already pleaded guilty and executed! How can he still be called a suspect!"

Fan Xuanchao didn't know well, if he confessed and changed his words at this time, the subsequent trial would not be able to go on, he said sharply: "Anyone can only be called a 'suspect' before the official verdict is issued."

The Niu family wanted to shout again, but Fan Xuanchao slapped the gavel, "Quiet!"

Facing the subconscious fear of the court and officials, the Niu family immediately fell silent.

"Suspect Liang Er, after learning that his stepmother Niu had poisoned his biological father, he strangled his stepmother to death in a fit of rage."

Fan Xuanchao asked: "Liang Er! Can you admit that you killed Niu Shi, and the facts are true?"

Liang Er was imprisoned overnight, with a sluggish expression, black eyes, and green beard, as if accepting his fate, he said: "It's true."

"Is there anything else to add?"

"Nothing to say."

Fan Xuanchao turned to the Niu family, "Families of the victim, do you have any doubts about the above situation?"

"There is no doubt." Thinking of his daughter's tragic death, the old man of the Niu family couldn't help crying. Even if his daughter poisoned his own husband, it was his own daughter.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Fan Xuanchao continued to ask.

Father Niu knelt down tremblingly, and said: "I also hope that the elder will make the decision for the little girl and kill this murderer with his own hands."

"This officer handles the case in accordance with the law and handles it impartially."

Fan Xuanchao nodded in satisfaction, cleared his throat, and said; "Since the two parties have no doubts about the process of the case, then..."

Fan Xuanchao smiled slyly, "The suspect Liang Er has conclusive evidence of murdering his stepmother, Niu Shi. According to the law of this dynasty, Ling Chi should have been sentenced to death for murdering his parents and elders. However, Liang Er and Niu Shi have no mother-child relationship. If there is no relationship between mother and child, it should be punished as homicide and sentenced to beheaded. And because Niu Shi killed Liang's father with poison, Liang Er's murder is revenge for his father, and the crime can be reduced by two degrees, sentenced to one hundred rods, and exiled for three thousand miles."

There was an uproar in the hall.

No one expected that the case could be judged in this way. Starting from the relationship between Liang Er and Niu's stepmother and stepson, Liang Er's life was saved.

Master Wang and Jiang Dianshi were horrified. This case is not complicated, and the truth has already been revealed after a brief trial.But the difficulty is how to settle the case after the truth comes to light.

On the one hand, there is the conscience of the people, and on the other hand, the national law is ruthless.

They have been in charge of Xing Prison for many years. When encountering such a case, they can only be in a dilemma. In the end, they either deal with it impartially, or plead with the higher authorities to get a lenient case.

But both of these methods are not good, and both are not good for doing things.

But they didn't expect that at such a young age, Fan Xuanchao would have such a cunning method, which not only saved Liang Er's life, but also did not violate the national law.He was at a loss when he left the class yesterday, but he has already found a way in the class today. This cleverness is amazing.

Father Niu looked at him in shock, unable to believe that his daughter died in vain. "Master! Master Qingtian! It is indeed true that my daughter was murdered by this traitor!"

How could Lao Niu not know that his daughter also killed someone, which is an unforgivable crime, but no matter how bad it is, it is still his daughter, so naturally he wants to avenge her.

In fact, Niu Daddy didn't know that his daughter had indeed killed someone, but he just thought that if possible, he hoped to see Liang Er exchange his life for another.But seeing Fan Xuanchao's verdict now, he has no choice but to let him collapse, and all thoughts are lost for a while.

Liang Er was also unbelievable. After he killed Niu, he never regretted it. It's just a pity that he didn't leave it to the old Liang's family.

But Fan Xuanchao actually sentenced him to exile!

Although exile is also a felony, but at least one life is left behind, and it will be gradually figured out in the future.

Liang Er hurriedly bowed his head in thanks: "Caomin thank you for saving my life!"

When he bowed like this, Fan Xuanchao couldn't help becoming nervous, at least... at least you'll talk after you're done!Will someone jump out and say that I am biased now?

He looked around and saw that everyone except Niu's father should be very happy, and he didn't intend to report him, so he was relieved.

Not only did the people not intend to report on him, but they were all very excited. After all, no one wanted Liang Er to lose his life by killing his enemy on impulse.Although it is hard to be exiled for three thousand miles, at least he didn't die. As long as he didn't die, if he was lucky in the future and met the amnesty of the world, he would naturally be able to come back.

For a while, there was a burst of applause outside the hall, and some people even called Qingtian county magistrate excitedly.Fan Xuanchao couldn't help feeling a little dazed and in a daze.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

After the hall, Master Wang and Jiang Dianshi surrounded him and praised him. Even Fan Xuanchao, who had heard too many praises, couldn't help but feel his teeth hurt, so he found a reason and withdrew first.

When Fan Xuanchao returned to the back hall, Jinglou Jingchuan came up to him, and Jingchuan grinned; "My lord, Master Qingtian! Now, the case of Liang Er you sentenced has spread, and all the slaves in the backyard have gone to listen to it." .When you come back, everyone praises you for being amazing.”

Fan Xuanchao smiled, "They just want to flatter me through your words, why do you tell me all of them?"

Jinglou pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "How could they understand all these twists and turns, they must all be sincerely praising you."

Fan Xuanchao no longer cared about these two clowns and monkeys, closed Liang Er's case and reported it to the criminal department, waiting for the final decision of the criminal department, and then processed some official documents, and it was time for dinner.

In the county, the front yard is the office, and the backyard is generally the living place.Fan Xuanchao ate, thought for a long time, and said to Xiaoman; "You set aside a...no, you should make another meal and pack it up. I'm going to the prison to meet Liang Er."

Xiaoman blessed Fushen, and went down without saying a word.If Jing Zhe was there, he would have to say a few words before he did it unwillingly.Over the past few days, Fan Xuanchao got in touch with Xiaoman a little bit, only to find that she is indeed a personality who only does things but never talks, and never speaks out about his decisions.Although she looks bright and beautiful, her personality is the most dull.Fan Xuanchao could only secretly marvel at Zhang's vision of seeing people.

Fan Xuanchao came to the prison with a food box. All the prisoners knew him, and he opened the door without any warrant.

Even though Jingjiang County is a large county with a large population, there are few prisoners. Most of them are thieves, and felons will be suppressed in Changzhou Mansion.So there is actually only Liang Er in the prison for repeat offenders.

As soon as the cell door opened, the damp and dark smell from inside rushed in. Fan Xuanchao subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, took a step back, and remembered his situation in Jinyiwei prison in his mind, even the healed wound on his back was aching.

Taking a deep breath, Fan Xuanchao told himself that it was all an illusion. He had been out of Jin Yiwei for a long time, and then he stepped into the prison.

Liang Er heard the sound of the cell door opening, and a figure walked in step by step against the light. When he was in front of him, Liang Er saw clearly that this was Master Fan and County Magistrate Fan above the high hall.

With his official uniform removed, County Magistrate Fan no longer had that sense of majesty. Liang Er looked at him carefully, only to realize that Master Fan might not be as old as him.

"Caomin Liang Er has met Master Fan! Thank you, Master Fan for saving your life!" Liang Er realized that he hadn't saluted yet, so he quickly knelt down and bowed.

Fan Xuanchao said: "You don't have to worship me, I just can't bear the death of a hero." Then, he asked the prison guard to open the door, and walked in on his own, "I brought food, the food in the prison is not good, you Use it a little bit".

Liang Eryi was a little at a loss for a while, and quickly said: "All the big brothers in the prison took good care of me and did not skip food and drink."

Fan Xuanchao looked at the jailer, and the jailer flattered him and said, "Where, where. Who doesn't respect heroes, and Liang Er is not a villain. We can take care of it, so we will take care of it."

Fan Xuanchao raised his eyebrows. He had never seen a prison cell with such a different style of painting. He thought that all the cells were like Jin Yiwei, so it was a waste of him to come here to support Liang Er.
