The richest man was not an unreasonable person. He saw that the house was bare and the woman sitting on the bed looked a little bad and looked sick, so he asked his men to calm down.
The richest man glanced at the oil paper bag on the ground, so he asked the person next to him to pick up the oil paper bag. This man came to the rich man and stretched out the oil paper. The rich man looked at the oil paper and couldn't help but frowned.
It turns out that in order to distinguish the things he ordered this time, the rich man printed a special pattern on the oil paper. Now the paper is unfolded, and the pattern appears in front of everyone.
At this time, a servant discovered that the little boy's trousers were obviously wet. Today was a sunny day. Not to mention rain, there was no water on the road.
At this time, the richest man walked over. His mother nervously held the child in her arms. At this time, the richest man squatted on the ground and smelled the smell of the little boy's trousers. As a result, a smell of wine came to his nostrils. This richest man knew very well. He is also good at drinking wine, so every time he asks the winemaker to add some special ingredients to make the wine full of unique flavor, and sure enough, the richest man smells it.
The richest man now knew that this little boy was the culprit, but although he was rich, he did not have the right to take the little boy away directly, so he reported the matter directly to the consul. The consul saw that it was the richest man who reported The case turned out to be very serious, so guards were sent to take the child away.
Due to excessive fright and fear, the child's mother's condition suddenly worsened a lot. The consul had no choice but to send his mother to the hospital, so her mother could not attend the lawsuit today.
This is what happened. Qinqin couldn't help but frown while listening to the incident on the chair. She really felt sorry for this little child.
Indeed, he did steal a roast chicken without the owner's permission, and also spilled the richest man's wine, causing damage.
But there are prerequisites for this. Why does this child work in the richest man's family? It's because for his sick mother, this child's filial piety should indeed be commended, and he is only a child. In this case, he can think of It is already very rare to work for others instead of stealing or cheating.
What's more, the eldest son of the richest man also deceived him and made the child work for a day in vain without getting any reward. That's why the boy made this trick, thinking that his day's work could be exchanged for this roast chicken. If the boy is finally found guilty, what kind of crime should the eldest son of the richest family who caused the little boy commit the crime be charged with? ?
At this time, Sun Qier's eyes couldn't help but moisten as she watched from outside. She didn't know what the purpose of this trial was. . She just felt that this little boy was so miserable.
Archbishop Eliade on the side looked at Sun Qier and said, "Isn't it hard to explain... It's like this a lot of times... Just keep reading."
Qinqin thought so. She felt that this idea was reasonable and she should give the little boy justice.
After stating the facts, the judge asked the jury members to speak. All of them were nobles or rich people, and many of them even had business or debt dealings with the richest man.
The rhetoric of these people was naturally clear. They all accused this little boy of trying to sneak into the richest man's home at a young age. Not only did he steal things, but he also lost the best wine.
And this little boy could only curl up in his chair, listening to the aggressive accusations made by these adults, and he even couldn't understand some of the words. But judging from the expressions of these people, the little boy knew that they were blaming himself.
After all these people finished speaking, Qinqin felt a surge of anger rising. She wanted to defend the little boy, but unfortunately she couldn't do it now. She was just a spirit body that could not speak or touch. to anyone.
Finally, the judge banged the hammer to signal the jury to quiet down.
The judge asked about the price of the wine and then looked at the little boy. The judge knew that the little boy could not afford to pay for the wine in his life.
So the judge pronounced on the spot that the little boy was guilty and that the economic losses caused to the rich man were irreparable. However, because he was too young to go to prison, the court decided to chop off his left hand as a warning and then let him go. Lose.
When the little boy heard the verdict, he was so frightened that he cried. He sat on the chair and clamored for his mother.
And the jurors around him were still talking about how the judge let such a young child off so easily, and he got into the habit of stealing things, and he got better at it when he grew up.
The richest man also stood up at this time, looked at the little boy, and walked away expressionlessly.
The judge has decided to execute him in three days.
When Qinqin heard the verdict, she immediately felt a surge of anger. . What's the point? . . A child at such a young age was deceived, and after that he tried to get his wages back to no avail, so he decided to steal a roast chicken for his sick mother, and he just accidentally touched the wine. .
Moreover, the judge did not mention the deception of the richest man’s son throughout the whole process, and in Qinqin’s eyes, the richest man was not in need of those bottles of wine. At worst, he could just buy more, but the little boy’s left hand was important to him in this life. Only this one will be disabled for life if it is chopped off. . What's more, he still has a seriously ill mother waiting for him to take care of her. .
Seeing the little boy being taken away by the guards, Qinqin felt particularly uncomfortable.
Then Qinqin's eyes went dark. When she opened her eyes again, she found that it was already three days later, and the position she was in now happened to be on the execution ground, and the little boy had been locked on the platform in the middle. , and his left hand has been stretched out and fixed on the torture device, and in front of him is a burly man with a mask on his head, his upper body is naked, a belt is tied around his waist, and he is wearing a pair of black pants. Next to him is a bright big axe. This big ax is extremely sharp and shines brightly under the sun.
At this time, a woman rushed out from the crowd. She was dressed in coarse clothes and squeezed in directly. She hugged the little boy and held his hand. At this time, the executioner next to him saw this. There was nothing he could do about the situation. After all, he was just the executioner and didn't care about anything else.
This woman was the mother of the little boy, so she began to plead with the judge, hoping that the judge would be lenient. The judge shook his head and said that he was just a judge and could only pronounce sentences in accordance with the law. He had to go to the plaintiff for this matter. The richest man can only stop if he agrees, otherwise he must ensure the fairness of the law.
The woman quickly came over and begged the richest man again, hoping that he could be lenient. She was willing to work for free to pay off her children's debts.
The richest man looked at her coldly, without saying a word. When the woman wanted to beg him further, the servants around the richest man came over and stood in front of him.
