Since there was no one to stop her, Xu He walked up to the woman and took a look, only to see that she was almost naked, her face was sallow, and she was very thin.
Looking at Hu Baihu again, he was so tall and muscular, with a layer of flesh hanging off his chin. Xu He doubted whether he could run on the battlefield.
Hu Baihu was frightened by him and his eyes averted.
Seeing this, Xu He smiled slightly and asked the woman: "Today there are county elders, teachers, and scholars present. How do you, a woman, want to resolve this matter?"
The woman was tired of crying at this time, sobbed and said: "I'm going to the Yamen to sue my mother-in-law, this person named Hu, and their two sons!"
"Sue them for not giving us a way to live as husband and wife! Sue them for being unconscionable and pretending to receive pensions and rice!"
"You cunning woman...!" Hu Baihu was furious.
Xu He glanced at Hu Baihu, then turned to the woman and said, "According to the "Laws of the Wei Dynasty", any wife or concubine who accuses her husband, his grandparents, or parents will be punished with a hundred sticks and three years' imprisonment!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
Everyone thought that Xu He's previous behavior was to stand up for women, but who would have thought that he would actually use the "Law of Wei".
Even Qian Jizu looked at Xu He with disbelief and felt uneasy in his heart.
Hu Baihu was ready to go crazy. Hearing this, he burst into laughter: "That's right, that's right. Take this woman away and punish her for disobedience!"
After speaking, he looked at Xu He: "After all, he is a scholar, he knows books and understands etiquette! Good, good!"
Xu Dai also stroked his beard and looked at Xu He with a smile. He originally had a bad impression of Xu He, but Xu He's words just now greatly changed his impression of Xu He.
In his view, a family should be respected for a long time. Even if the elders do something good or bad, they should be kept close to each other.
How can you go crazy on the street like this woman?
Besides, there are no bad parents in the world, and no bad parents-in-law in the family. This woman actually wants to sue her husband’s biological mother? absurd.
But are all the people present like him and thinking the same way?
Obviously not, justice is in the heart of the people. Ever since Xu He quoted the "Law of Wei" just now, everyone's eyes have changed when looking at him.
"Bah! You are still a scholar. You don't distinguish between right and wrong. How can a mother-in-law want to force her own son and daughter-in-law to death? If it were me, I would fight to the death to sue!"
"Hmph, you see that man looks like a human, why doesn't he speak human language?"
It aroused public anger, but Xu He didn't seem to panic at all. He turned to look at Hu Baihu again: "Hu Baihu, the sociology professor teaches "Da Wei Lv", and I also know a little about it, unlike you people with official status. , he must be more familiar with it than me!"
Hu Baihu laughed loudly, and the flesh on his chin trembled: "No, no, no, it's you scholars who understand this, we old men don't understand it like you!"
Xu He smiled and nodded, and continued: "Does Hu Baihu know that there is another judgment in the "Law of Wei", which says that if a brother dies and takes a sister-in-law, and if a brother dies and takes a brother-in-law, each will be hanged!"
"boom…………"
The scene was completely blown away, and everyone was shocked by Xu He's words.
It turns out that Taizu established the "Laws of the Wei Dynasty" that if the elder brother dies and the younger brother marries his sister-in-law, both the younger brother and the sister-in-law will be sentenced to death by hanging.
Hu Baihu had an affair with his brother's widow and even gave birth to a child. This was ironclad evidence that he was not going to be hanged properly.
Hu Baihu, who was beaming with joy just now, suddenly turned pale when he heard this and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
"good!"
"Xiao Langjun is really a wonderful person!"
"Those old shoes that got together with my deceased husband's brother should be soaked in a pig cage!"
Faced with this turning point, the onlookers burst into joy and applauded one after another!
Xu Dai's face was extremely gloomy at this time, but Fatty Feng on the side looked at Xu He again, with a very playful expression on his face.
Xu Luan saw that Xu He was showing off, and a gloom flashed across his handsome face. He rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "Xu He, don't just rely on yourself to have studied in a small social school for a few days, and you don't know how high the sky is. , to judge the case arbitrarily.”
"Let me ask you, although this woman's family was deprived of her pension, money, and was beaten, if she accuses her husband's parents, even if the accusation is true, she will be punished with a hundred canes and three years in prison!"
"Are you saving people or harming them?"
"In the end, both sides will suffer losses. This is not what a saint teaches!"
This kind of thing, because Hu Baihu is a military attache of the sixth rank in the Weishou Baihu, logically speaking, he should report the case to the Zhenfusi Yamen for acceptance.
However, the Guochao Zhenfu Division has only been responsible for training and training troops in recent years, and has rarely intervened in the thorny affairs of the guard station. It has always been handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial.
If it is handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to verify the situation, although the woman's accusation is true, she obviously cannot be exempted from liability if she accuses her husband's mother.
The best result is also [to redeem the disciple with a rod], that is, you still have to be beaten, but you can spend money to avoid the punishment of three years of apprenticeship.
With that woman's weak body, let alone whether she had the money to redeem her [three-year apprenticeship], even if she got beaten up, it looked like she wouldn't be able to survive.
This is the origin of Xu Luan's question "Should we save people or harm them?"
At this time, everyone looked at Xu He with bated breath, wondering how Xu He would solve the case in this situation.
Xu He was not in a hurry at this time and said confidently: "The woman's husband is guarding the country's borders, her husband Lumi was taken away, and the other party also indulged his son to commit murder, so the woman and the original mother-in-law must be separated from each other!"
"Yi Jue?"
Some people don't understand very well.
The so-called righteousness means severing the relationship, which is the same as later generations severing the relationship between father and son in the newspaper.
The woman's mother-in-law secretly married her brother-in-law despite her son's young age, and they had a son together.
In today's society, whether it is law or folk custom, it is a shameful thing.
In the past, everyone just turned a blind eye and talked behind their backs.
But now the matter has become big, and when people outside the guard know about it, it is a huge scandal.
The woman's mother-in-law stole her late husband's pension and gave it to her brother-in-law, and also kept her son's money for the current family.
Isn't this just renunciation of one's own son and daughter-in-law?
so……
Xu He continued: "The Laws of the Wei Dynasty states that if a son-in-law and his wife's parents are extremely righteous, the prime minister should be informed and each should follow ordinary people's opinions."
When Xu Luan heard this, he immediately seized the loophole and said to Xu He: "The "Law of Wei" talks about the son-in-law and his wife's parents who come to the door. It does not apply to the current situation."
Xu He glanced at him. Indeed, using this law was a bit reluctant, but if the mother-in-law remarried, the relationship with the original daughter-in-law would change. It was absolutely correct to say that it was righteousness, and it would make sense to file a lawsuit with any yamen.
"Nonsense!" Hu Baihu stared at Xu He with red eyes, as if he was choosing someone to devour, and ordered the sergeant who brought him to say: "Catch this thief and seal the store! "
"Let's see who dares!"
"Who dares!"
"stop!"
"Be bold!"
Suddenly, four voices came at the same time!
Hu Baihu raised his head and opened his eyes, and his soul was immediately torn apart!
