Chapter 147: Extravagance or hanging?
The main hall of the Li family was brightly lit. Mother Li lit all the lampstands and lanterns, illuminating the darkened face of Father Li and the worried look of Brother Li in the main hall.
It was almost time, and Brother Li didn't want to wait any longer. He stood up and said to Li's father: "Aye, I'll go to the bad guy to find Mr. Bu. The bad guy has great powers. Sanniang is a bad person, they should take care of her."
After hearing this, Second Sister-in-law Li felt a little scared, Brother Li was going to break the curfew at night!
But Sister-in-law Li couldn’t tell Brother Li not to go. After all, Li Sanniang was the biological sister of the same parents as Brother Li. How could she tell Brother Li to take care of himself and not save Li Sanniang? What about?
Li's father and Li's mother did not respond to Brother Li's words, which meant they disagreed.
Li Sanniang is the treasure in their hands, and Brother Li is not a fool, he is also a son who was born with full expectations.
You can’t just save one child by letting another child take his life, right?
Not to mention, the second brother Li is already married. He has become an Aye and has three sons with his second sister-in-law. The current Kogoro is only more than three months old.
In spite of the flesh-and-blood ties between brothers and sisters, we cannot forget the flesh-and-blood ties between our own family, not to mention how worried and frightened Sister-in-law Li would be if Brother Li really went.
Brother Li couldn't vent his worries, so he got up and opened the door to go to the courtyard to get some fresh air.
Except for Lu Zhuer and Xiao Wulang who had been put to sleep, the rest of the Li family were waiting for news about Li Sanniang in the main hall.
Li’s mother asked Li Er’s sister-in-law to take Li Sanlang and Li Silang back to the house to sleep. Li Er’s sister-in-law said: “Auntie, let them wait here. My sister-in-law is so kind to them on weekdays. Whenever there are dewdrops, It’s their share, just let them wait here for news, if nothing else can happen, they can take a leave from the academy tomorrow.”
After Mrs. Li said this, Mother Li didn’t insist anymore. .
The anxious mood spread in the main hall, and the sound of the candlesticks exploding was particularly harsh.
Brother Li, who was still breathing in the yard, suddenly heard a knock on the door. He ran all the way to open the door, but he saw three people standing outside the door, Brother Li with a surprised look on his face, Li Dalang with a frown, and Li Dalang, who was wearing armor and holding a sword. The Jinwu Guard.
“Brother! Why are you back at this time?”
“Let’s talk after we enter the house.”
Brother Li listened to Brother Li’s words and welcomed Brother Li and this man. The soldier entered the house.
Seeing that Brother Li was back, Father Li stood up anxiously and asked, "Da Lang, where is Sanniang? How is she?"
Brother Li looked at Father Li and Mother Li, who seemed to have become more haggard overnight, and didn't know how to tell them what Li Sanniang had experienced tonight.
When Sister Li served tea to the soldier who was in the same team as Brother Li, Brother Li also spoke very quickly about how he happened to meet Li Sanniang during his night patrol.
Brother Li used one sentence to explain Li Sanniang’s experience lightly.
"Sanniang was kidnapped in the alleyway by the gangsters. Now she is fine. Because she wanted to report to the official, she went to Jingzhao Mansion with our team at this time. I will wait until the gate opens tomorrow. "Go and see her."
Brother Li hid the fact that Li Sanniang had killed someone in defense and that she was injured. He was really afraid. If Li's father and mother knew that he had pampered her since childhood, Can the elder Li Sanniang endure such grievance and pain?
Although Li's father and Li's mother have always been in good health, they are about to reach the age where they know their destiny, and Brother Li still does not dare to take this risk.
Brother Li’s verbal deception was heard by Brother Li, Sister-in-law Li, Dalang Li and Erlang Li.
However, no one continued to ask. Now that they knew that Li Sanniang was fine, Mother Li kneaded her painful eyebrows a few times and sent everyone away. They would wait until the fifth watch before leaving the workshop. Go to Jingzhao Mansion to see Li Sanniang.
"Master Li family, where is my old man? Did you find it with the third lady?" Only then did Brother Li find that Granny Wang was also sitting in the main hall of his house, "Grandma Wang, there is nothing much to do now. There is no news, but before I left, the team leader had notified my colleagues to check, so it should be okay.”
"Okay, okay, the three ladies are fine, and the old man should be fine too."
Afterwards, everyone in the Li family dispersed one by one and went back to their own courtyards.
Brother Li sent his colleague named Zhang DaDa out of the house. Before leaving, Zhang DaDa said in a haphazard manner: "Brother Sun, according to the regulations, I have to report it."< br>
Brother Li made a fist with his right hand and punched Zhang DaDa on the shoulder without much force, "Good boy, just report it truthfully."
Zhang DaDa gave a warrior salute and left.
Brother Li returned to his yard and saw Sister-in-law Li, Dalang Li, Erlang Li, Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li waiting there.
Brother Li then sat down and told several people in detail where and what kind of Li Sanniang he saw, as well as Li Sanniang’s performance at that time and the consequences that Li Sanniang might encounter later.
“It depends on which official is in charge of Sanniang’s case. If someone feels that Sanniang is protecting herself and she has no choice but to kill someone, she can be found not guilty; but if Any judge who only looks at the law will judge him, and he will be punished by being sentenced to death (with an explanation for his words) or by hanging."
Several people couldn't believe it.
"Brother, when the curfew is over, I will go to the delinquent place to find Mr. Bu. At this time, only Mr. Bu can save Sanniang."
As soon as Brother Li finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
The Li family looked at each other. Could it be that Father Li and Mother Li heard what some people said outside the door?
Brother Li opened the door and saw Mr. Fei sitting in a wheelchair still wearing a white shirt.
The Li family, the residence of Li’s father and Li’s mother.
Because of Li Sanniang's incident, Li's father and mother Li really had no intention of sleeping. They couldn't fall asleep even if they closed their eyes. All they could think about was what happened to Li Sanniang and how she was doing.
"It's all my fault! If I hadn't taught Sanniang how to learn medicine, Sanniang wouldn't have taken the medical exam, she wouldn't have had to go on duty, and she wouldn't have met bad people."
Mother Li It felt like Father Li was upset, even saying such illogical words.
You must know that the thing that Li's father is most proud of is that everyone in his family, especially his daughter, except for the young Lu Zhuer, are all literate and polite, and are better than the husbands of other families.
When the two of them were together, Li's father often sighed that Li Sanniang was the most fatherly of Li's three children, she was extremely smart and agile.
Mother Li sat up from the bed, looked at Father Li and said, "Mr. Lin, please don't say that again. The happiest thing for Sanniang is that she passed the examination and became the first in Chang'an City. Female doctor. What she wants most is to treat people and help women relieve their pain. This is what she wants to do.
She once told me that you are the best Aye in the entire Tang Dynasty, the best Aye.
Go to sleep, get some sleep, and you will be energetic when you go see Sanniang tomorrow morning. ”
Added prison sentence: It is not a sentence of exile, but a commutation of the death penalty, that is, 3,000 miles of exile and 3 years of hard labor. It was a type of punishment added during the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. As a leniency to certain death sentences, the general penalty was exile. , all served in the service station for 1 year, while the additional service period was 2 years, so it was called "Additional Labor Service" -——From Baidu
"Tang Lu Shuyi": Those who fight and kill. , hang; kill someone with a knife.
It is very different from the law on excessive defense in our country's "Criminal Law"
I checked two papers on excessive defense in the Tang Code, and found that there are still certain limitations in the Tang Code.
I suddenly felt that the students who studied the Fa were really amazing~
