Li Er had obviously heard about this problem for a long time, so he had no intention of interrupting his son.

Officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment still cannot reach a consensus on this case, and each has a different view.

"About this case, I have also heard about it. Regarding this case, I have even been divided into two factions."

"One group believes that Liu Xi's stepmother and an adulterer conspired to murder the head of the Liu family. It is not a case of this court, so the case will not be filed."

"As a result, Liu Xi's theory of avenging his father is not valid. As a stepson, killing his stepmother with his own hands is an additional felony and should be executed at an early date."

Li Er briefly introduced what he knew.

After all, this case occurred during the transition between the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, the world was in chaos, the heroes were divided, and there were countless unjust, false and erroneous cases.

“What’s the outcome for the other side?”

Mu Jiuge did not express his position, but looked up at Li Qian.

"The result of the other school is that this case is a legacy of the previous dynasty, and the text files have been lost."

"Although Liu Xi killed his stepmother, he was also seeking revenge for his father. Although he violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he did not need to be punished with Lingchi."

…

Li Chengqian told it in great detail, for fear of missing something.

Li Er listened quietly on the side. He had also handled this case before, but he could not make a decision on the final result.

"It's over?"

"I thought it would be some kind of shocking case. After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be this kind of case. I'm really disappointed."

After learning the final trial result, Mu Jiuge sighed heavily.

This kind of unchallenging thing can actually become an unsolved case.

I really don’t know what the officials in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple do for a living.

"Teacher, from what you said, it seems that you already have a solution? I wonder if you can help students clear up their doubts?"

The attitude shown by the teacher left Li Chengqian speechless.

After all, he still doesn't know the teacher's ability at this time. If he can solve this case, it can be regarded as his ability.

"There is a very important factor in this case, that is, the woman Liu Xi killed was his stepmother, not his biological mother."

"There is no blood relationship between stepmother and Liu Xi at all. Without the relationship of Liu Xi's father, the two would not even have an intersection."

"So, when this woman and her lover teamed up to kill the head of the Liu family, the relationship between Liu Xi and this woman was already broken. Why did they have to be forcibly connected in the end?"

"In my opinion, the case of Liu Xi murdering his stepmother is a joke in itself, and I don't know which fool decided on it."

"This case can be analyzed and handled as an ordinary murder case. Therefore, what happened to Ling Chi is even more of a joke. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if the crime of murder is established, the death penalty can be imposed."

Mu Jiuge analyzed the case lightly. The key was to cut off family ties.

The real reason why the case and controversy eventually became unsolved is that these investigators have always been in this misunderstanding, causing confusion among the authorities.

"According to what the teacher said, Liu Xi will be sentenced to death immediately, and the case will be over."

After listening to the teacher's analysis, Li Chengqian suddenly said.

"No no no!"

"There are many jokes in this case, let's analyze them slowly."

"I just heard from you that officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment believe that this case is a case left over from the previous dynasty and ignore it. What do you think of this?"

It would be too early to convict now, so Mu Jiuge was eager to find out how the two men in front of him viewed the case.

Li Er chose to remain silent on this issue. He was very much in favor of this decision at the beginning.

Nowadays, this answer is better answered by the son, and it can be regarded as a test for the son by the little brother.

"Replying to the teacher, the student felt that this suggestion still made sense. After all, the situation at that time was quite chaotic and many important files were lost."

"Now, even though the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, it is inevitable to re-record the cases."

All such cases should be regarded as remaining problems, and it is reasonable not to solve them. No one is willing to do something that is thankless.

Li Chengqian believed that the teacher would have the same view, and no one would be stupid enough to ask for details.

However, Mu Jiuge's attitude and gaze completely raised Li Chengqian's heart.

What kind of look is this? What did I say wrong? Why does the teacher look at me like an idiot?

"Teacher, what did the student say wrong?"

Li Chengqian asked with some anxiety. You must know that this was a decision made after joint study between the entire Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

"It's nothing. I'd better follow your father and learn how to do business in the future. An official career is not suitable for people like you."

If a person with this kind of mentality becomes an official, he will be tricked to death by others sooner or later.

Sure enough, after hearing such words, Li Chengqian's face suddenly darkened.

He is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and will inherit the throne one day in the future.

Now you are trying to persuade yourself not to consider an official career. Isn’t this nonsense?

"Little brother, in your opinion, how should this case be solved?"

Seeing his son's appearance, Li Er couldn't help but tremble in his heart. If he hadn't pointed the finger at his son, he would have been the one being criticized now.

"Is the previous dynasty or this dynasty important?"

"It is normal for ordinary people and local officials to have such thoughts. After all, such a decision can greatly reduce all kinds of paperwork."

"If such an issue is brought to the court, even if you have such thoughts, you must not express them."

"The world is now ruled by the Tang Dynasty, so you must remember to constantly emphasize a concept."

The Tang Dynasty was not long established. If at this time, officials continue to emphasize the affairs of the previous dynasty, no one knows what the final result will be.

"Little brother, what is this concept you are talking about?"

Li Er had some ideas in his mind, but he was not sure yet.

"The people in this world are all surnamed Li, and the entire Tang Dynasty is all surnamed Li, so there is no such thing as a previous dynasty or this dynasty. It is all an internal matter within the Tang Dynasty."

"Only in this way will the people of the world remember that they are people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Otherwise, what should we call the current people? The survivors of the previous dynasty? Or the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"The case occurred in the previous dynasty, and the officials were lazy and did not file the case. So if the people born in the previous dynasty lost their household registration, would they not have to pay taxes?"

Under the shocked gazes of the two people, Mu Jiuge talked eloquently.

As the master of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er had never thought of such a thing.
