Phoenix dwelling in Yanzhou

Above the courtroom, the gavel sounded.

As the highest administrative court in Yanzhou, it was formally promoted under the command of the yamen servants.

Under the bright mirror hung high on the plaque, Duan Yunxu sat upright in the main hall, but today is different from the past, and has set up seats on both sides of the main hall.

Sitting on the left is the supervisory censor who arrived in Yanzhou today.The ones on the right are Princess Yan and Mrs. Shun Guo.

Yan Liang, the supervisory censor, has always been a self-denying and respectful person, even a bit pedantic and old-fashioned.He looked at the two women on the right and frowned slightly.

"Ms. Taifei, forgive me for speaking bluntly." Yan Yushi said mercilessly, "A court should not be a place for girls."

He knew that His Royal Highness King Yan was young now, and the affairs of the palace had always been decided by the princess, but women should not interfere in the political affairs of the fiefdom!

Su Qian looked at Yan Yushi and smiled slightly, as steady as Mount Tai. "Your Excellency Yan may not know that Prince Yan's Mansion is also one of the sufferers in this case."

"Oh?" What else?

Yan Yushi looked at Su Qian, who was calm and composed, but said nothing.

Following the governor's voice of "bring the prisoner", dozens of members of the Qin family were brought into the courtroom and knelt down in unison.

When the gavel sounded, Duan Yunxu looked at the people in the audience, and asked routinely, "Who is kneeling in the hall?"

The old patriarch of Qin and the people of the clan reported their families and names, and then called for grievances and begged the government to make decisions.

"So, you really used lynching against Qin Shu?" Duan Yunxu asked.

"Your Excellency!" The lawyer hired by the Qin family was surnamed Qin, who was a member of the Qin family and had a reputation for success. "What is lynching? The Qin family is just enforcing the family rules."

"Family rules?" Duan Yunxu sneered, "Clan rules that kill people? Have you forgotten that lynching is prohibited in the New Year's Calendar?"

"My lord, this is not a lynching," Attorney Qin clung to the word, "An infidel, drowning! This is a custom in Yanzhou for hundreds of years! It is a custom that everyone has always observed and followed. Just ask your lord, Should a woman who is not chaste be drowned?"

The remark was sonorous and powerful, and the people outside the court whispered and nodded repeatedly. This was already common sense they knew, and they didn't think there was anything wrong.

"That's right, it's not a pity for the unchaste and unclean to die."

"The family rules of Shentang have been around for hundreds of years, and the government has never been in charge."

"Why does the government still take care of other people's family affairs?"

"An unfaithful woman deserves to be drowned."

……

Even the supervisory censor above the seat nodded slightly, as if he agreed with this.

Things are going in a bad direction...

"Oh?" The woman's soft voice was full of doubts, which attracted Xun Sheng to look.I saw the gentleman in the other side of the courtroom, and the beauty in white asked a question. "I don't know that there are still folk customs that can override the king's law."

"Princess Taifei, don't you think that those who are unfaithful should not be drowned? Shu is a widow, and she should have kept her chastity for her deceased husband. Three obediences and four virtues, chastity and gentleness are the duties and virtues of a woman. As a woman destined for heaven , as a role model for the world, do you also think so?"

These words are respectful, but full of malice, because the crown prince passed away, and the people in Prince Yan's mansion are all "widows" in the words of lawyer Qin.

This lawyer Qin was almost blatantly reminding her that these widows should abide by their duties and should not appear in this court.

Seeing the other party's provocation, Jing Sheng angrily wanted to get up, but was gently held down by Su Qian beside her.

The corner of Su Qian's mouth slightly raised a smile, extremely gentle.But Mu Yue next to her couldn't help but sweat coldly for that man.

Her mother is angry...
