"I've finished speaking! Who..." Qin Dewei straightened his collar and said respectfully: "Please give me your opinion!"
Feng Xian Cheng held the pen and felt that it was as heavy as a thousand catties in his hand! Selling a son for his mother is contrary to human ethics... If you really want to judge the crime based on the facts, you can behead him.
"Woooooooo..." Yang Bo was so frightened that he fell to the ground and suddenly burst into tears.
Qin Dewei once again respectfully said to Feng Xian Cheng: "Second Master, he is still a child!"
Why do I always feel like you want to teach me how to do things? Feng Xiancheng kept muttering in his heart, but he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He shouted: "Remembering that Yang Bo is young and ignorant, let's spare him for now and take him home with his biological parents to teach him a lesson!"
Qin Dewei reminded him respectfully: "When there is a mistake, someone should take responsibility. Otherwise, how can we correct people's hearts? The three marriage seekers are all adults. They should be punished for instigating a young son to commit rebellion."
Are you coming again? Feng Xiancheng gritted his teeth and ordered to the clerk on duty: "Issue the cards and take the people! Ten sticks will be punished, and one month's fine will be served!"
Madam Gu felt a little more relaxed, at least she had solved all the troublesome people today, and the extra one tael of silver was not wasted.
At this time, the courtroom was a little quiet, and everyone seemed to be thinking about what to do next.
In the end, Yang Qi, the uncle of the Yang family, broke the silence, "I, the Yang family, can recommend another person to adopt the family. For example, if there are several brothers who are similar in age to Yang Bo, they can all be selected!"
Phew! Qin Dewei burst out laughing, "Do you still have the nerve to talk to the Yang family?"
"Why not? Just because Yang Bo is unworthy does not mean that everyone in the Yang family is unworthy." Yang Qi retorted.
Qin Dewei mocked and said: "I think it is all of you Yang family members who are collectively unworthy."
Yang Qi did not quarrel with Qin Dewei, but complained to Feng County Magistrate: "This Qin Dewei is messing around and humiliating people wantonly! Please punish me!"
Qin Dewei defended: "I just want to reason with the Yang family."
Feng Xian Cheng raised his hand, please continue your performance. You must be able to convince the Yang family. Even if you reconcile, it will save me from having to judge the case.
Qin Dewei began to speak: "I think those chaste women who start observing chastity from a young age generally fall into two situations. One is to raise their own young children to adulthood and end up observing chastity; the other is to live alone as a widow and observe chastity even though they have no children.
But it’s rare to hear of a person observing the festival with his adopted son, let alone a 20-year-old widow observing the festival with a teenage step-son!”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu was in a happy mood. Yes, she didn't want to keep the rules at all! Qin Dewei glared at her secretly, "No, you think so!"
Yang Qi said impatiently: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to show that the Gu family is unwilling to abide by the rules?"
"I'm going to think deeply about this, and there are several general reasons. Firstly, the stepson is not my own child after all, and he has his original parents, so it's really hard to predict.
Once something happens, the husband's family will definitely turn to the step-son with the same surname, and the widow will have difficulty seeking justice. She is often forced to remarry and leave the land of right and wrong, and at the same time give up her family property.
Secondly, if a young widow and her stepson are not far apart in age and spend time together day and night, it is inevitable that they will fall apart. Even if they are determined to keep their integrity, it will not last long if they are all talking about it."
Yang Qi sarcastically said: "That's it? What happens next?"
Qin Dewei stopped talking to Yang Qi and said loudly to Feng Xiancheng: "Based on the above reasons, the Yang family always wants to introduce a step-son who is more than ten years old, just to seize the family property and force the Gu family to remarry!
If the Gu family is determined to keep integrity, wouldn't it be ruined by the Yang family's greed for money? The Yang family has a heart that can be punished. Is this the way to lead people to good deeds?
Besides, the dishonesty of the Yang family can be seen from Yang Bo. How could Mrs. Gu not have doubts and fear in her heart?
After I finish speaking, the second master will be on hand to observe clearly!"
At the same time, Qin Dewei secretly glared at Sister Party A, and you choked up a few times in response!
Yang Qi quickly cried out: "Second Master, my Yang family definitely didn't think this way!"
"Could it be that your Yang family wants to show its innocence by not giving up its property?" Qin Dewei asked quietly.
Yang Qi was suddenly stuck, as if his mouth was suddenly blocked. Compared with innocence and family property... family property is more fragrant.
Looking at the ugly behavior in the hall, Feng Xiancheng lamented that people's hearts are not old, and only a few salt shops are fighting like this. While holding the pen to create trouble, he felt that his hand was as heavy as a thousand catties.
According to this logic, if another stepson is given to the Gu family, wouldn't it be deliberately obstructing the Gu family's observance of the law? Although the widow has not expressed her intention to observe the law, she has not said that she will not do so.
Looking at the poor widow who kept lowering her head and wiping tears, Feng Xiancheng also felt that he couldn't bear it. But the matter had to be done, and both parties had to give an explanation.
Now we need him as the trial officer to speak, how should we write the judgment? Waiting online, it's quite urgent.
The rookie local official Feng County Cheng subconsciously looked at Qin Dewei. It would be great if there was a little prodigy to teach him...
Qin Dewei looked at the sky with expressionless eyes, like a witch wishing from the gods, and muttered something:
“Money is the root of all evil, and unclear property rights are the root cause of trouble. Only by rectifying the source can the cause of trouble be eliminated.
The family property was divided into two. Half of the property was donated to the family to repay blood relatives, including two stores in Jubaomen and Fenghuangtai. The other half was left to the widow to express the love between husband and wife, including two stores in Sanshan Street and Gongyuan Street...
After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
What are you waiting for? Just copy your homework. Feng County Cheng has written the verdict: "...After I finish speaking, who agrees and who opposes? Jiangning County Li Xing County Cheng Feng."
Then he handed the verdict to the clerk on duty and had it stamped for public notice. Two copies were made, one for each of the plaintiff and defendant.
Of course, both parties have to pay money to the yamen and the clerks who handle it. The plaintiff pays more, and some go into public accounts and some go into private pockets. Feudal yamen are not institutions that serve the people. If they don’t have money, how can they file a lawsuit?
In the end, the lawsuit was settled and Qin Dewei, as a lawyer, had no choice but to let go of the two stores. He also wanted to keep them all, but this era is not a society governed by the rule of law!
If you don't give in at all, I'm afraid it will be impossible to close the case, and no trial judge will make such a ruling. Husband's rights and family rights, and I won't tell you about the law, if I can keep half of it, it is worth two taels of lawyer's fees.
At the present time in 1530 AD, even if the proletariat and the bourgeoisie united, they had to make compromises with the feudal order.
Uncle Yang Qi of the Yang family walked out muttering, not sure whether he was satisfied or not.
Madam Gu also stopped wiping her tears, her eyes hurting from wiping her tears for a long time, and was about to get up and pull Qin Dewei away.
Prime Minister Feng Xiancheng tried his best to wait for the next wave of cases to come to court.
Seeing that the show was about to end, the clerk on duty, who had always kept a low profile and had no sense of presence, suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Immediately, the clerk on duty reported to Feng County Prime Minister: "There is another serious case below, which may involve the Gu family. The two masters can try it together."
He hesitated again and said, "The Yang family, please stay temporarily."
Feng Xiancheng is not very clear about the ways of his subordinates. Although he does not know what is going on, if a case is registered, it must be tried and that is where his responsibilities lie.
Gu Qiongzhi had a vague guess about something, but he still didn't know why. Yang Qi was most confused. What other cases are there?
Only Qin Dewei was the most vigilant, and those words came true! The day before yesterday, Mr. Dong personally said that the arrest of shopkeeper Ding of the Jubaomen branch must be done in court first.
