Chapter 1205 Zhu Ping'an is very busy (7)
"I ordered people to put emetic medicine in the longevity noodles. Now the truth has been revealed. What else do you have to say, Mr. Li?"
Zhu Pingan patted the gavel hard in the courtroom and said loudly to the old woman in the hall.
In fact, Zhu Ping'an had doubts at the beginning. The old woman was freshly dressed, had a fat body, a rosy complexion, and strong skills. She did not look like she had been harshly abused; after her daughter-in-law He Wang came on stage, , Zhu Ping'an's suspicion is even worse, He Wang was dressed simply, with a patch on her underskirt, and looked like she was working hard.
Because He Wang just cried and refused to say anything, the case could not go to trial. Only then did Zhu Pingan think of it. The method of putting emetic medicine on longevity noodles is used. Since you are unwilling to speak, let your stomach speak.
"Master Zhizhi County, I, I"
Faced with the undeniable truth, facing Zhu Ping'an's interrogation, and facing the pointing fingers of the crowd outside the courtroom, the old woman in the courtroom blushed. He stammered, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
“It turns out that the magistrate put emetic medicine in the longevity noodles. No wonder they vomited after eating it. If they hadn’t met the magistrate, how would the truth of this case have come to light?”< br>
“The county magistrate is worthy of being our The champion of the Ming Dynasty is really amazing. He could come up with such a method. Bao Gong could only do this when he was alive. "
"I really deserve a beating. Just now I suspected the county magistrate and criticized him. The magistrate is ridiculous.”
The melon-eating people watching from the outside of the courtroom now bowed to Zhu Pingan in admiration and worshiped him.
“It’s true that you know people but don’t know what they know. I saw this old lady crying in agony and how pitiful she was. But who would have thought that she turned out to be a false accuser? What? ”< br>
"Haha, this old lady is really capable. On her birthday, her daughter-in-law gave her fish and meat, and she ate vegetables and radishes by herself. What else is there to be dissatisfied about on this day? She even made a fool of herself. , confuse right and wrong , Falsely accusing my daughter-in-law of being disobedient and unfilial?”
“This is confusing right and wrong. This lady is really good at acting. Now that I look at it, I notice that the clothes she wears are much better than her daughter-in-law. And it's big My mother also eats much fatter than her daughter-in-law, and she looks like she was abused first."
"I thought she was an evil daughter-in-law, but who knew that she turned out to be an evil mother-in-law, thanks to the divine judgment of the county magistrate."
The people eating melon outside the court pointed at the old woman and talked a lot.
"Ms. Li, you fabricated lies and falsely accused your daughter-in-law of being disobedient and unfilial. The truth has been revealed and cannot be denied. According to our Ming Dynasty laws, those who falsely accuse will be punished with additional punishments. If you falsely accuse your daughter-in-law of being disobedient and unfilial, then You will punish the falsely accused of disobedience and unfilial piety, and increase the punishment. Disobedience and unfilial piety are the most heinous crimes, second only to conspiracy. Counter-rebellion. In the circumstances of this case, disobedience and unfilial piety will lead to a punishment of 50 severe beatings and being paraded in public. If you are falsely accused, you will be punished with 60 severe beatings and being paraded in public.”
Zhu Ping'an slapped the gavel heavily and pronounced the verdict to the old woman in the courtroom expressionlessly. As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a lotus stick from the lottery tube.
What? !
A major sixty big board? ! Are you going to parade around the streets with signs? !
I am already so old. Even if I survive this sixty-year-old bed, I am afraid I will not be able to get out of bed
When the old woman Li heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned pale and her legs suddenly turned pale. He became weak and collapsed to the ground. He was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I beg you, Lord Zhi County, to have mercy. Please have mercy, Lord Zhi County. I don't dare to do it anymore, old lady. I don't dare to do it anymore. I pray to Lord Zhi County." Sir, please be merciful.”
“I’m scared now. What have you done?! Your daughter-in-law gave you big fish and meat for your birthday, and you still falsely accused her of being disobedient. "Xiao, let the magistrate judge your son to be divorced. Why are you so dark-hearted? You can't live a good life, it's just a moth!"
The crowd watching the melon taunted the old woman.
“Mr. Magistrate, please, my mother-in-law is old and can’t bear the sixty-year-old board. My mother-in-law is also a face-saving person. If she is allowed to put signs on the street, it will not kill her. Well, I beg the magistrate to have mercy on me and spare my mother-in-law this time. A common woman can offer a longevity tablet to the magistrate at home."
Hearing that Zhu Pingan was going to punish her mother-in-law, Wang He was not only worried about her mother-in-law, she kowtowed repeatedly and interceded with Zhu Pingan on her mother-in-law's behalf.
"Your mother-in-law falsely accuses you of being disobedient and unfilial, and wants me to order your husband to divorce you. After treating you like this, do you still want to plead for your mother-in-law?"
Zhu Ping'an stopped and threw it away. He asked Wang He with great interest as he made a sign.
"Yes. I beg the magistrate of Zhizhi County to have mercy on me and spare my mother-in-law this time."
He Wang nodded vigorously, and then kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. Broken.
"Oh, my mother-in-law made a false accusation, and she even interceded on her behalf. She couldn't find such a good daughter-in-law even with a lantern. This old godly woman was really deceived by eating lard. She didn't know how to cherish such a good daughter-in-law."< br>
Seeing this, the onlookers praised He Wang for repaying evil with kindness, and scorned the old woman who made the false accusation.
"Ms. He Wang, I feel your filial piety, but the family has family rules and the state has national laws. Those who make false accusations will be punished with additional punishments. This is a clear provision of our Ming Dynasty regulations."
Zhu Pingan shook his head and picked up the lottery ticket again.
"Master, the county magistrate, a civilian woman is willing to be punished for her mother-in-law, please ask the county magistrate to do it." Seeing that her mother-in-law's crime could not be forgiven, Wang He asked to be punished on her mother-in-law's behalf, kowtowing and pleading.
The surrogate mother-in-law is punished!
He Wang's actions moved the crowd watching the melon eating. This scene was all in the play, but they didn't expect that they would see it in reality.
"Oh, daughter-in-law, I... was blinded by my lard. Dog's eyes cannot recognize a good heart. I was wrong."
When the old woman saw He Wang, she wanted to intercede for her. , was punished for her, and even had her head smashed. She couldn't help but feel regretful, and tears suddenly flowed down her face.
"Ms. Li, you falsely accused your daughter-in-law. Your daughter-in-law not only interceded for you, but also took the punishment for you. What do you have to say?" Zhu Ping'an held the order in his hand and asked everyone in the hall. said the repentant old woman.
"Master Magistrate, old lady, I was wrong, wuwuwu, I see my son is good to my daughter-in-law, but old lady, I don't like my daughter-in-law, wuwuwu, I can only live a good life, I am not a human being." The old woman After saying that she gave herself a chance, Wang He hurriedly stepped forward and took her mother-in-law's hand, crying to stop her.
"Do you know you are wrong?!" Zhu Pingan asked.
"Old lady, I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again. My daughter-in-law is so good to me. If I don't cherish it anymore, then I will be a beast. I will live a good life in the future and treat my daughter-in-law as my own daughter. If my son treats my daughter-in-law badly, I will risk my life and teach him a lesson."
The old woman knelt on the ground, hugging Mr. He and Wang tightly, and shed tears of regret. The river water is the same as the embankment.
"Everything is prosperous when the family is harmonious, and the father is kind and the son is filial. Mrs. Li, I hope you can correct your mistakes after you realize your mistakes. You are getting older, and today is your birthday. The most important thing is the victim, that is, your daughter-in-law is not only right If you let go of the past and intercede on your behalf, I will put this incident on the record for the time being. If you do it again in the future, you will be punished as well, and you will be severely punished!”
Zhu Ping'an put the decree in his hand back into the tube and said sternly to Mrs. Li in the hall.
"Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate. Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate. This old woman will never be seen again. I will definitely cherish this good daughter-in-law and live a good life." The old woman burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed to express her thanks. , while vowing not to do it again.
"Filial piety is the first of all good deeds. Madam He Wang, you are very filial and can be a role model for contemporary daughters-in-law. I will reward you with ten taels of silver as a reward. As a clerk, remember to make a commendation order and share it with the reward of silver." And sent it to Wang He's home as a token of commendation. "
Zhu Ping'an commended Wang Wang's filial piety in public in the court and ordered the clerk to issue a commendation order to express his commendation.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Magistrate, thank you so much, Mr. Magistrate.” Mrs. He and the old woman kowtowed happily to express their gratitude. The people watching the melon meal were also greatly moved and applauded one after another, praising Zhu Ping'an for being alive and resolving the case of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and praising He Wang for her filial piety. They warned the old woman to cherish her blessings and cherish her good daughter-in-law.
