Yipin Farmer

Ting Shuang's return this time can be regarded as a homecoming. The first thing to do is to take her younger siblings to visit the tomb. The offerings are very simple, only the ceremony of libation and burning paper money.

First, I bought a burden to burn. The burden is a postal package sent by the filial piety from the yang world to the underworld. I use a wood-carved rosette tablet and write the name of the recipient.Together with the dead money, ingots and zizi made of gold and silver foil, after leading the whole family to salute, they burned the whole package in front of the grave.

It is also necessary to add more soil to the grave and press some paper money so that others can see that there are descendants in this grave.Ting Shuang still remembered old man Chu's last will, and laid pulp and burned paper in front of his grave, so that he would be too embarrassed in the underworld.

Ting Shuang also ordered Ping An to contact workers to rebuild the tomb, making it beautiful.Tinghui said again: "Now our family's family business has been developed again, and the eldest brother and the fourth child are also prosperous. Parents must be very happy under the nine springs. We have rebuilt the tombs of our parents and invited them to visit us again." There will be no more regrets."

"It's an imperial seal..." Ting Shuang didn't think so, people are dead, what's the use of imperial entitlement, it's really old feudal, it's better to take good care of the family business and take good care of younger siblings to be truly filial.However, since the parents wanted this, they had no choice but to try to satisfy their wishes.However, if one has made great contributions to pursue one's parents, one cannot get one. Counting the contributions of oneself and Tingzhi, it seems that they are not qualified enough to be granted the title for their parents.

After Ting Shuang returned to his hometown, people in the village took turns to invite him to a banquet to welcome him. In addition, several wealthy merchants from the Hujialin family in the city also had business contacts with Dajun Liangtai and made a lot of money. I heard that he came back , Also took turns hosting a banquet for him.Matchmaking is also indispensable to introduce beautiful women to him, an older leftover man.

Ting Shuang eats treats every day, and his belly is full of fat and water, but he keeps rejecting beautiful women and so on, eats more vegetables and drinks less, and acts as if he is too drunk to be able to drink if he can't push it anymore. Seeing this, Ping An helps him go home .

"Not good, not good."

He only heard the sound of panic coming from a distance. It turned out that Liu Gen from the restaurant ran over in a panic.

Ting Shuang reprimanded him: "Look at how anxious you are, is the sky falling or people are dead?"

Liu Gen was so anxious that his voice changed: "The sky didn't fall, but people died."

"Why panic? Who died? Don't worry, speak slowly." Ting Shuang let him calm down.

Liu Gen told him what happened, the business of Caigenxiang Restaurant was booming, and from time to time, people would find fault with the tables and look at the table, and they didn't care about these bosses, but a group of people came here today, and it doesn't matter if the food at his restaurant is not good. Ting Hui didn't get angry, and started an argument with them. He pushed one of them, but unexpectedly bumped into a sharp table corner, and the man was carried back overnight just die.

The troublemakers sued the officials, and the county magistrate sent someone to take Ting Hui into prison.

Ting Shuang was dizzy with anxiety, and hurried back to the city. The county magistrate was still Yang Sanli. He was supposed to be transferred after three years of service. Seeing Ting Shuang coming to visit the prison, he let him in without hesitation, and told him that there might be other reasons behind the case.

Seeing Ting Hui in the prison, Ting Shuang was relieved to see that he was not injured and that the cell was clean, and hurriedly asked what was going on.Ting Hui called Qu: "Although I was angry, I didn't mean to harm anyone. It was very chaotic at the time. Someone pushed me from behind, and it looked like I bumped that person into the corner of the table."

After listening to the ins and outs, Ting Shuang had a clue in her mind, and quickly filtered out the people who might plot against his family. The several big restaurants in Huiyuan Building were old and wealthy, had regular regular customers, and also had specialty dishes that others could not imitate. He doesn't bother to compete with Cai Genxiang because of his status.Although other mid-level restaurants sometimes pick faults, that is, they are picky about the bad food and spread rumors that their cooking is not clean or something, they will not punish people to death.

The person who did this kind of thing is afraid that he has hatred for his family, not because of being excluded by his peers.

So who is behind the scenes?

Yang Sanli ordered Wu Zuo to conduct an autopsy, which proved that the dead man died when the back of his head hit the corner of the table, but the dead man had an old disease and hit a vital point, so he died, but Ting Hui's push was indeed true. The final blow to death.Although Ting Hui said that someone pushed him at the time, there is no evidence that he did it unintentionally.

"Then what about this case?" Ting Shuang was extremely anxious, and asked how such a case would be dealt with according to the law of this dynasty.

Yang Sanli said: "The law of this dynasty is to kill for life." Seeing that Tingshuang's face turned pale, he quickly said: "But the deceased had an old disease, so my brother's crime will be reduced."

"How to reduce the wait?"

Yang Sanli broke his hands and pointed: "The five punishments are divided into five types: death, exile, imprisonment, staff, and flogging. The death penalty is divided into hanging and beheading. Years, five years, ten years..."

Ting Shuang didn't want to listen to him counting down, no matter what kind of punishment he could not accept, so he hurriedly wrote to Ruan Ying and wrote to Shen Qin to find a way for people he knew. It was not too difficult for him to rely on his prestige, so he was able to save his life. After the surrender of King Lu, he returned to Beijing, and Ting Shuang sent him a sincere letter asking him for help.

Before waiting for an answer, the family members of the deceased made trouble and strongly demanded that the case be tried. Yang Zhi County had no choice but to follow the law and open the court to hear the case. Ting Shuang was afraid that Ting Hui would be tortured during the trial, so he wore a full set of official uniforms and brought his direct descendants Ma Lai. hearing.

Seeing his aggressive attitude, "I'll tell you what you dare to do to my second child," Yang Zhixian had a headache, so he had to take the gavel and ordered the plaintiff and defendant to be taken.

When the plaintiff and the defendant knelt at each side of the court, the trial began. Yang Zhixian also had experience in judging cases, and he didn't waste much time on Ting Hui being pushed, because there was no evidence for that, so he only focused on the plaintiff's old illness He made a fuss and tried to excuse Ting Hui, but the plaintiff insisted that the deceased was in good health and his old disease was not enough to be fatal if he was pushed to the corner of the table.

When it was time to hand over, I only heard the report from the yamen servant: "The governor is here."

Yang Sanli was taken aback, and hurriedly led people to greet him. Governor Zhang Bin directly explained his purpose of coming. He heard about this case and came here specially for the trial.Everyone was very surprised. They didn't expect that such an ordinary case would attract the governor of a province to come for a trial. The people became more and more interested, and there were more people outside to hear the trial. People crowded head to head to see how the governor would decide the case.

Ting Shuang began to break out in a cold sweat. In the hands of Yang Sanli, Ting Hui could get a lighter sentence, but Zhang Bin did not know what the result would be. The governor's rank is one level higher than his, and he is still a province. As long as the governor decides the case, it will be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for reconsideration, and the Ministry will generally not reject it.

Without further ado, Zhang Bin interrogated the case directly. First, he sent a message to the doctor to ask the deceased's original disease, and then to the doctor to ask if such a disease would cause death when he was hit. Internal bleeding can be fatal, but not necessarily if it does not hit the affected area.

Zhang Bin said: "That is to say, there is no evidence to prove that the deceased hit the affected area, so it cannot be proved that the defendant hit the plaintiff and died."

Then the judgment was directly issued: "The defendant bumped into the deceased and caused death. It is true that he should be executed according to the law, but it was not intentional, and the deceased had an old disease, and it was not entirely caused by the defendant's collision..."

The plaintiff cried out, "But if it hadn't been for his collision, my elder brother wouldn't have died."

"Don't make any noise." Zhang Bin slapped the gavel and delivered the final sentence, "If the deceased had no old illnesses, he would not have been hit by someone and died. Therefore, the judge now sentences the plaintiff, Meng Tinghui, to commutation of the death penalty and a ten-year sentence. Year."

"What?" Ting Shuang jumped up. Ten years in prison, although two grades less than the death penalty, can ruin a person's life. Such a sentence is very difficult to undo. With a bad reputation, which girl would marry him?

Ting Hui collapsed on the ground with a pale face.

Ting Shuang was angry and impatient, and he couldn't think of a solution even though he tried his best. He was not familiar with the laws of this era, and he didn't know what loopholes he should take advantage of. The ten-year sentence is irreversible.

But Ting Ke was anxious, and shouted: "Someone was clearly framed, my second brother was obviously pushed by someone, and then bumped into that person, and the person had old diseases, so he was not killed by the collision at all. "

"That's right..." Dayingzi, who was hearing the trial outside the hall, burst into tears.

"Don't make any noise!" Zhang Bin took another picture of the gavel, "He was pushed a little, but his words were unsubstantiated and there was no evidence. I think the defendant did not intend to do so, so he can be merciful outside the law. If someone is willing to accompany him If the prisoner shares half of the sentence, the officer may consider reducing the sentence by half."

Ting Shuang and Ting Ke were about to speak, when Dayingzi said without hesitation, "I am willing to share half of his sentence."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.Aunt Zhou was so anxious that she shed tears, and Uncle Zhou and Xiaoyingzi were also so anxious that their faces turned pale.

Ting Hui's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was too moved to speak.

Zhang Bin nodded: "Okay, she is indeed a woman with deep affection and righteousness. If you are so sincere, I will help you."

Ting Hui hurriedly said: "No, she is a good girl, she can't ruin her life for me."

The sentence is halved, and it will last five years. For a young girl, it will really ruin her life. How can she have the heart to throw her flowery years in prison.

Dayingzi said urgently, "Shut up, I'm willing to share half of the burden for you."

One offered to share half, and the other firmly refused.

Everyone was moved and whispered.

Zhang Bin immediately issued a judgment: "Since someone is willing to share the sentence for the plaintiff, then I will sentence the defendant to halve the sentence."

Yang Zhixian asked in a low voice: "There is no such thing as halving in the law? How can the sentence be cut in half?"

"Isn't that simple?" Zhang Bin said, "Cut the sentence in half. The defendant lives in prison for one day, then goes home for one day, goes back to prison for one day, and goes home for another day until the ten-year term expires. This is the sentence. Halved."

"Oh..." The hearing person breathed a sigh of relief.

The plaintiff refused to accept: "How can there be such a reason for reducing the exemption by half? Could it be that the cell is used as an inn?"

Zhang Bin made a selfless statement: "Who allowed him to use the prison cell as an inn? Naturally, he brought his own food and bedding, and there was no waiter to serve him. Leave the hall."

After retreating, Ting Shuang knocked Ting Hui once, "If you lose Daying Zi in the future, I will be the first to strangle you to death."

After the ups and downs of the past few days, Ting Hui was deeply shocked, and he really understood who was the most sincere person to him, so he couldn't say anything, but nodded heavily.

Ting Shuang went to the back hall to thank Zhang Bin again: "Thanks to my lord for turning things around this time, I am very grateful."

Zhang Bin waved his hand: "Don't thank me, I was entrusted by others, and someone else turned things around."

Ting Shuang wondered, "Who is it?"

"Me." A familiar voice came from behind the screen.

Hearing this sound, Ting Shuang felt like being struck by lightning, and it took him a long time to turn around.
