Meng Jinyao glared at him angrily and said angrily: "You are also a beneficiary of this law."

Gu Jingxi laughed dumbly, looking at the angry little girl, a little helpless, but he could also understand her sudden anger. It is strange that the exploited person would have a good face when facing the beneficiary. He said warmly: "Madam, don't be upset, if Madam If I don’t like it, I can give up this benefit.”

Meng Jinyao raised her eyebrows and asked with a worried expression, "How do you plan to give up?"

Gu Jingxi replied warmly: "If you commit a crime in the future, we will sign a divorce letter. In this way, we will dissolve the relationship. My wife will then bring evidence to sue me, and you will not have to go to jail."

After the words fell, Meng Jinyao was stunned and stared at Gu Jingxi. After recalling these words, the anger on her face suddenly disappeared. She was very worthless. She was pleased by these words, and her angry little heart was soothed. Then, the irritable mood gradually eased.

After a moment, she asked: "Husband, do you also think this law is right?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head slightly: "Madam, I don't think it's right."

Meng Jinyao was stunned, looking at him without saying a word, and motioned for him to continue.

Gu Jingxi said quietly: "The first case I took over was when the father killed the mother and the son sued the father."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned again and quickly asked: "What's the result?"

Gu Jingxi narrowed his eyes, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It turned out to be true. My father and mother had a dispute. Then, my father became more and more angry and killed his mother out of anger. In the end, my father was sentenced to beheading for killing his wife. And If a son accuses his father, he will be deemed unfilial and guilty of being unfilial, and he will be sentenced to twenty canes and three years in prison."

Meng Jinyao was silent, feeling ridiculous, and the anger in her heart was rising again.

The father kills the mother and the son accuses the father, but the son becomes an unfilial son.

If the father kills the mother and the son protects her, is this a filial son?

The son is filial to his father. If the father kills someone, the person he kills is still his mother, but what about the son to his mother? If the mother is killed and the son does not avenge his mother or report his father, isn't this unfilial?

If the father kills the mother, it is filial to protect his father, but it is unfilial to accuse his father. No matter what choice he makes, he becomes an unfilial son in the eyes of everyone.

Gu Jingxi glanced at her and asked softly: "Do you think it's ridiculous, madam?"

Meng Jinyao asked, "Don't you think it's ridiculous, husband?"

She said, taking a deep breath, and her tone became more and more angry: "The father killed the mother, and the son sued the father. It was out of defense of justice and mother, but in the end he was accused of being unfilial. The mother was pregnant in ten months and gave birth to him. , if he watches his father kill his mother and still protects his father, then he is still an unfilial son, the difference is that no one will know if he doesn't tell."

Gu Jingxi echoed: "I also agree with Madam's statement."

Meng Jinyao glared at him resentfully: "Then you still sentence me to twenty canes and three years' probation?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "I am the presiding judge in that case, but I cannot ignore the law. I feel that I cannot sentence him this way, but the law stipulates this sentence. Even if I acquit him, the superiors will overturn me during the review." During the execution of the cane punishment, I privately ordered the executioner to release the water, which was the only thing I could do for him at that time."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao fell into silence again, and suddenly realized that she should not blame him, and looked at him with sympathy, feeling that he was also suffering in his heart at the beginning, feeling that something was wrong, but could not reverse the situation.

Gu Jingxi took in the changes in the little girl's expression and raised his lips with a slight smile. The little girl was still very soft-hearted. She was angry at his actions just now, but now she sympathized with him. He opened his lips again and said: "However, in the same case, I Already serving as the Minister of Dali Temple, I met him when I was passing through Suzhou to investigate a case. It was also the case that the father killed his mother and the son sued his father, but the ending was different."

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she suddenly looked up at him. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw the smile on his lips, and she quickly asked, "How did that case end?"

Gu Jingxi narrated: "The father and mother also had a dispute. During the dispute, a fight broke out. The father went into the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed the mother fifteen times. The mother died on the spot. When the son returned home, he found that the mother had died on the spot. The father was holding a kitchen knife and immediately called his neighbor Youshe to arrest the father. Finally, the son accused the father of killing his mother. There were both witnesses and material evidence. The father was sentenced to beheading, but the son was found not guilty and had no unfilial behavior."

The result was what she wanted, but Meng Jinyao felt unsatisfied and questioned: "Then why couldn't you judge the first case like this? If you can do it in the second case, why didn't you try hard to do it in the first case? ?”

Gu Jingxi replied: "There is a reason for that."

Meng Jinyao was confused after hearing this and asked incomprehensibly: "They are all similar cases. They killed their wives because of a dispute. What could be the reason?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head gently and said calmly: "The difference between these two cases is the father. The father and mother in the first case are both biological parents. The father and mother in the second case are actually stepfather and stepfather." biological mother.

“Originally, in the second case, the son sued his father, and the presiding judge also sentenced him to twenty canes and three years in prison.

"But I think that although the stepfather is a father, he is different from the biological father. The stepfather became a father because of the biological mother. In the second case, the stepfather killed his mother. The moment the knife fell from his hand, he had severed all ties with him. The relationship between father and son is over.

"Since there is no relationship between father and son, it should be treated as an ordinary homicide and should not be treated as 'unfilial'. Therefore, the verdict of the presiding judge was overturned and the son was acquitted, but the father upheld the original verdict."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao raised her eyes and stared blankly at the man in front of her. She felt that the image of Yi Fujun instantly grew taller in her mind, like a god.

She had never felt anything when she heard that the Minister of Dali Temple solved cases like a god, but now when she heard Gu Jingxi talk about the two cases and their different endings, she suddenly felt that Gu Jingxi was a real god, fighting for his life in the face of cold and ruthless laws. A God who makes laws warm.

This man has outstanding abilities, uses his extraordinary talents to turn things around, and shines in his field.

The little girl was angrily blaming him just now, but now she was looking at him with surprise and implicit admiration, her eyes were direct and undisguised.

Gu Jingxi met those bright eyes, his face was slightly dull, and then he smiled and said warmly: "Madam, I told you these two cases that are the same but have different endings because I want to tell you that people Many times we are helpless and bound by rules and regulations, but we are also protected by them.

"There are some laws that cannot be changed in a short period of time. We can only push them to change slowly through one case after another, weeding out the old and bringing out the new, taking the essence and discarding the dross, or exploiting loopholes as much as possible. Protect the interests of innocent people.

"Just like the two cases just mentioned, if they were tried according to the laws, the son in the second case would definitely have been sentenced to twenty years of service and three years in prison. However, the loophole of the stepfather was used to make calculations and the son was charged with unfilial piety. The successful removal will save my son from three years in prison and the punishment of a cane for being unfilial."
