Chapter 100
Yu Qingfeng looked at the Cao family of three with tears in her eyes, and was especially moved by Cao Fengnian.
Even as a man, Cao Fengnian was controlled by feudal patriarchy and lived a frustrated and twisted life. It was not until Cao Dayong died that he could truly be himself, protect the people he wanted to protect, and enjoy a healthy and normal family relationship.
"No, it's not Xianglian, it's me, it's me..." Cao Fengnian risked his life, protecting his wife and daughter behind him, and stepped forward.
Yu Qingfeng quickly comforted: "Cao Fengnian, you don't have to rush to take the blame for your wife. Zhai Xianglian killed Cao Dayong to protect herself and her daughter. It was self-defense and innocent. And you were not present at the time. If you really killed Cao Dayong, then
But murder is a felony."
"Justified...not guilty?"
Not only did Cao Fengnian not understand it, but no one present had ever heard of this word.
"Oh, in my hometown dialect, it means that when someone wants to hurt or even kill you or others, in order to protect yourself or others, you hurt or kill the other person during resistance. This is not guilty.
"But if you still want to kill him after the infringement has ended, that is a felony murder."
Yu Qingfeng had checked relevant records before when she was making complaints about videos. Although there was no term for legitimate defense in ancient times, there was indeed a judicial practice of legitimate defense.
It is precisely because of this that Yu Qingfeng confidently made a ruling for Zhai Xianglian.
Cao Fengnian couldn't believe it. He didn't seem to believe that Yu Qingfeng was a prostitute. He raised his head to look at Pei Wuyan.
Pei Wuyan nodded, "The Great Yong Law does have this provision."
Cao Fengnian still looked uneasy, looking at Pei Wuyan stupidly, as if he was worried that the young official had no idea what he said.
Yu Qingfeng snickered, Pei Wuyan is the minister of Dali Temple, equivalent to the highest official of the Supreme Law in ancient times, let alone making judgments according to the law. With Pei Wuyan's rights and his relationship with His Majesty's father and son, he
It is absolutely possible to create your own laws and set a precedent.
Yu Qingfeng continued her reasoning. Before reasoning, she sighed sincerely:
"If the coincidence of Zhai Xianglian, Mr. and Mrs. Baozi, Cao Fengnian and Aunt Huang is good luck, then the subsequent case of Jia Qin can be regarded as the will of God.
"Jia Qin's death actually had nothing to do with Meng Yuxin. Meng Yuxin knew that Jia Qin was just greedy for money and pointed the way. She was a passerby at the time and didn't understand the reason at all. At most, it was a negligent crime and the crime would not lead to death.
"But Jia Qin happened to be killed at this stall. Cui You's motive for the murder was still unjustifiable, and he happened to meet Zheng Fangxing, who liked association, to add fuel to the fire, so rumors spread.
"Meng Yuxin heard the rumor and asked her team to continue to spread it and add fuel to the fire. That's why the salesman and his wife just said that when Jia Qin died, they saw Cao Hong playing with the doll and pinching the neck of the doll."
The shopkeeper and his wife looked at each other. They were embarrassed after being exposed, but they had no way to defend themselves.
Yu Qingfeng turned to Qi Caiqiao and felt pity for this girl who had just lost her loved one.
The so-called close relative is not Qi Yongen who is related by blood, but Meng Yuxin who is not related by blood.
"Originally, everything could have ended here. Meng Yuxin continued her plan, using the name of the reincarnated devil boy to use the deterrent power of two murders in the air to deter domestic violence men. But at this time, Qi Yongen wanted to curry favor with Ji Hou.
, to send his daughter Qi Caiqiao into the tiger's mouth.
"Meng Yuxin can't stop Qi Yongen at all, and Qi Yongen has already reached a consensus with Ji Hou on this matter. Even if Qi Yongen regrets, Ji Hou will not let him regret it.
"In addition, Mrs. Ji herself came to He Xiangu for help, and she can be regarded as Meng Yuxin's client, or one of the sisters. Meng Yuxin learned the truth about the tragic death of the concubines in the Hou Mansion from Mrs. Ji, and learned that she regarded
If Qi Caiqiao, who was born by herself, entered the Hou Mansion, she would inevitably be doomed sooner or later, and she would have murderous intentions towards Ji Hou.
"Although Mrs. Ji went to find He Xiangu alone, she also represented Hong Mei and Bai Lian. There was no way. Because these two concubines were 'favored' by Ji Hou, they had no freedom at all. Although Mrs. Ji was favored by Ji
Hou is left in the cold, but she is still the Hou's wife after all, and can freely enter and leave the Hou's house to seek help.
"After learning that Mrs. Ji and the three women Hong Mei Bai Lian were suffering from Ji Hou's abuse and might be in danger of their lives at any time, Meng Yuxin strengthened her intention to kill Ji Hou.
"In Meng Yuxin's view, she didn't have much time anyway, so she might as well die together with Ji Hou. But even so, she still couldn't find a chance to take action, and she was even more worried that if her crime of killing Ji Hou was exposed, a consecutive sentence would harm her.
Killed everyone in the Qi family.
"Fortunately, not long after, Meng Yuxin learned that on the Lantern Festival, there would be an animal taming performance in Suzhou. She thought of a way to kill with the least loss and risk, which was to let Ji Hou die from the tiger's mouth.
"Although I don't want to involve Hong Mei and Bai Lian, and I don't want the two young women to take such a big risk, after much deliberation, there is only one solution..."
Bai Lian suddenly interrupted Yu Qingfeng, "It wasn't He Xiangu, it was me. I suggested it!"
Hong Mei looked at Bai Lian in surprise, and then immediately pulled her behind her, "It was me, I thought of this idea. He Xiangu originally disagreed, but I insisted... I want to kill that beast with my own hands!"
Yu Qingfeng kept waving her hands, "He Xiangu, no, Meng Yuxin is dead, and the fact is that Mr. Pei stopped you two in time and sent Ji Hou into the tiger's mouth. He was the one who sought his own death. You don't need to panic and rush to take the blame.
responsibility."
Red Rose and White Lotus suddenly looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and held each other's scarred hands.
"Only after Ji Hou died, Meng Yuxin still felt uneasy. She knew that her time was short, so when she was gone, Qi Yongen would still sell Qi Caiqiao as a commodity or gift to anyone.
"As a mother, if she can no longer protect her daughter personally, then she can only take away the biggest threat to her daughter when she leaves."
When Yu Qingfeng said the last words, her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs. Recalling that the last time she saw Meng Yuxin, she actually regarded her as a wicked person who had done her own evil. She added insult to injury and spoke harshly to her, and she regretted it endlessly.
In order to complete her plan and prevent Dali Temple from disrupting her plan, Meng Yuxin would rather continue to bear the notoriety and pretend to be a vicious woman who was avenged by Cao Ruyi in front of them.
In the past, it was Qi Yongen who used her as a shield. Now she takes the initiative to bring notoriety upon herself. She would rather let Dali Temple think that she deserves to die.
Qi Caiqiao couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly. The maid beside her quickly hugged her and comforted her while crying:
"Miss, have you forgotten what the madam told you? Don't be sad, live your life again for her, be your own master, marry a good man, and do good deeds for her. She will look at you in heaven. If you are happy, she will be perfect.
Already."
Yu Qingfeng turned around and secretly wiped away her tears.
When she turned back, Yu Qingfeng was surprised by the scene in front of her. All the women present were crying. Every one of the men also had a sad face.
Lin Ming lamented: "Meng Yuxin should have had a good death, instead of becoming an enemy in the eyes of outsiders who was killed by the reincarnated devil boy. This is equivalent to confirming the rumors that both their husband and wife were tortured and indirectly killed Cao Ruyi."
Lian Shurong slammed his fist on the table, "Yes, we have to clear her name! She was obviously a good person, how could she die with a bad reputation?"
Pei Wuyan shook his head sadly and said:
"If you want to be innocent, why bother? Such death will make people more afraid of the reincarnated devil boy. What she wants is to warn men in Suzhou, and even men in the world, that the reincarnated devil boy will not only kill his enemies from a distance
, will also kill evil men like Ji Hou who hurt other women.
"Meng Yuxin can't change violent men, nor can she save weak women who are victims of domestic violence. This is the only thing she can do for them. Let's not go against her good intentions, right?
"If we really want to help her, we might as well protect Cao Hong's family, especially Cao Hong, the reincarnated devil boy. We continue to spread rumors in the name of He Xiangu, saying that the reincarnated devil boy can be reincarnated more than once. If he dies in an accident,
I will still be reincarnated with the memories of this life to take revenge."
Yu Qingfeng was touched by Pei Wuyan's thoughts again, and he actually wanted to be with her again. She said to Pei Wuyan movedly:
"Master Pei, that's why you chose to come to the Marquis Mansion instead of going to the magistrate to try the case in front of Hong Zengxian, in order to satisfy Meng Yuxin and everyone present!"
"Yes, Dali Temple returned without success this time. The conclusion is that the murderer of Cao Dayong is still unknown and at large; the murderer of Jia Qin is naturally Cui You; Ji Hou stuck his head into the tiger's mouth as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
They wanted to recreate the scene of taming animals; as for Qi Yongen and Meng Yuxin, the couple also hanged themselves together on the Lantern Festival, as if they were possessed by evil spirits."
After Pei Wuyan finished speaking, he silently sought Lin Ming and Lian Shurong's opinions with his eyes.
Lin Ming looked embarrassed and did not nod immediately.
Lian Shurong quickly made up his mind and asked with a faint smile and confusion: "Isn't that the truth?"
Everyone looked at Lin Ming expectantly.
Lin Ming only looked up at one person - Yu Qingfeng.
Yu Qingfeng's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked back at Lin Ming full of hope. If she didn't resort to the trap of bitterness and beauty at this time, when would she resort to it?
Pei Wuyan looked at the two people looking at each other with cold eyes.
Lin Ming was finally defeated by Yu Qingfeng's silent attack and nodded.
Yu Qingfeng burst into tears and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Yu Qingfeng knew that Lin Ming made the decision against his will because of her.
She is the same type as Pei Wuyan, and is completely different from Lin Ming. Lin Ming's choice shows that he enforces the law more impartially. Rationally speaking, he is indeed more suitable for the position of Minister of Dali Temple, and even less suitable for her, Yu Qingfeng.
Hong Mei and Bai Lian walked up to Yu Qingfeng together and knelt down to her with a thud.
Yu Qingfeng was startled and hurriedly bent down to help them up.
