Jia Huan left the mansion and went to rescue Xue Pan.
Of course, in fact, Jia Huan just couldn't stand the crying pleas of Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, so he simply left the house to hide for a while.
If you really want to save Xue Pan, you have to wait until Master Zhao is on duty, and then go to the Zhao Mansion to find out what happened before making any calculations.
It was still some time before Master Zhao was to go on duty, and there was nothing going on, so Jia Huan went to the Hanlin Academy to look for Liu Changqing.
Liu Changqing took leave again and entertained Jia Huan at Qingfeng Tower.
After the two chatted for a while, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Liu will have a rest tomorrow. I will host a banquet for Brother Liu at my house. I hope Brother Liu will appreciate it."
Hearing this, Liu Changqing couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jia, I don't know if your sister will be here tomorrow, hehe."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I'm hosting a banquet for you just for this reason."
Liu Changqing was overjoyed and said, "That's it, thank you so much, Brother Jia."
After making an agreement with Liu Changqing, the two started chatting happily.
When Jia Huan saw a low-ranking official entering Qingfeng Tower, he bid farewell to Liu Changqing and went directly to Zhao Mansion.
As a result, Master Zhao never returned home after arriving at the Zhao Mansion.
He waited for nearly an hour before Master Zhao returned.
Jia Huan hurriedly paid a visit to Master Zhao.
Seeing Jia Huan, Master Zhao couldn't help but smile and said, "You kid, you must be here for that guy from the Xue family, right?"
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Nothing can escape the eyes of the master. The Xue family and my Jia family are originally related by marriage."
"The mother and daughter of the Xue family cried and begged to come to my house, and I couldn't refuse."
"However, I know that the master is self-denial and will never bend the law for personal gain. This visit is just to inquire about the progress of the case. I have no intention of asking the master to be lenient."
Who is Master Zhao? This is the iron-faced Zhao Qingtian who calls himself fair.
In order to uphold justice, several of his sons were assassinated one after another, and he himself was criticized until he was dismissed from office.
Jia Huan knew that even if he really came to ask Master Zhao, it would be useless.
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Master Zhao couldn't help but smile and said: "I have been busy with the case all day today, and I didn't bother to eat at noon. I am really hungry now. Come, let's talk while we eat."
Jia Huan had just had a banquet with Liu Changqing at Qingfeng Tower and was not hungry at this time.
However, he also sat at the table and ate with Master Zhao.
He has a large appetite, and even if he eats something casually, his appetite is about the same as that of ordinary people.
Master Zhao was in a state of turmoil. He ate until he was mostly full and then began to slow down.
He couldn't help but ask: "Huan'er, did you predict in advance that the Xue family's life case would be overturned and retried, so did you teach the Xue family how to deal with it?"
This was certainly true. After hearing the results of Jia Yucun's trial, Jia Huan guessed that he had no good intentions. This case will probably be turned over 80% of the time.
Therefore, when he usually drank with Xue Pan, he taught him a lesson.
If Xue Pan really wants to strictly follow what Jia Huan taught him, his crime should be very minor.
I don’t know if this big fool can withstand the torture.
Jia Huan flatly denied it and said: "Master, this is something that has never happened again. How could I have expected this? Furthermore, even if I could have expected it, I would never teach him how to get into the Daxia law." Void."
Zhao Heng shook his head and said: "Huan'er, that son of the Xue family is not a son of a man. Not only is he a complete dandy, he has no ability at all, and he is of no use to you."
"A gentleman should make friends with those who are not as good as himself. Why would you bother to associate with him? Such a dandy can only be regarded as fair-weather friends at most, and we should not make deep friendships."
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Master's teachings, the disciples should obey. However, this son of the Xue family once extended a helping hand to the disciple when he was at his lowest. The disciple has always remembered this friendship."
"Furthermore, he can be considered a filial son. After dating his disciple, although he is still a dandy, his bad habits have also changed a lot."
"During this period, I have never bullied anyone, or even beaten or scolded a servant. Disciple feels that although such people are useless to the world, at least they are not harmful, right?"
Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Come on, come on, everyone has his own fate, and you can't force it. And if you can make a prodigal son turn around, it can be considered a great merit. How to act is up to you."
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Master's teachings will be remembered by the disciples. If he is a person who cannot be cultivated, the disciple will never dare to associate with him. Master, I don't know what will be the outcome of Xue Pan's case?"
Zhao Heng took a deep look at Jia Huan and smiled: "This Xue family member must have received guidance from an expert. When I tried his case for my teacher, he nailed down several key points."
"The first is that the maid was sold to him. When he went to pick her up, the Feng family just happened to come to pick her up. The Xue family bit him to death and ordered people to beat the Feng family just to snatch the girl away. He didn't let anyone Kill his idea."
"The second thing is that when they took that girl away, the Feng family did not die."
"The third point is that their family was going to the capital and did not know about the death of Feng Jiazi."
"They actually don't know how Jia Yucun will judge the case later. It's just that Jia Yucun will judge the case in a stupid way, disregarding human life in order to please them."
"In this way, they have completely eliminated all the blame. And Jia Yucun actually agreed with their statement."
"Although my master ordered people to torture him severely, the Xue family did not change his story even after being beaten to death."
"It's not difficult to get to the bottom of this case. We only need to send people to the place where the crime occurred and conduct verification among the people to find out whether the Xue family has lied."
"It's just that what I want to focus on is Jia Yucun's case. This case is just an incidental case. I don't have much time to investigate the case thoroughly."
"Therefore, the case can be concluded here. The Xue family allowed his servants to commit the murder, and the servant who killed the person himself should be sentenced to exile. However, the Xue family had no intention of killing, nor did he intentionally flee. He was guilty of negligence causing death. He was sentenced to five years. Years in prison.”
"However, according to Daxia Law, if the Xue family is willing to pay compensation to the Feng family, and the Feng family is willing to reach a settlement, they can be exempted from prison."
Yes, Daxia Law does have such provisions.
Except for malicious homicide, which cannot be atonement with money, other minor sins can be atonement with money.
Xue Pan's defense freed him from the crime of malicious homicide.
Hearing this, Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Master, the Xue family is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to compensate the Feng family. As for reconciliation, it shouldn't be difficult."
Zhao Heng nodded and said: "The Xue family's injuries are not serious. As long as we provide the money, we can bring him back tomorrow. However, we are not allowed to leave the capital before reaching a settlement agreement with the Feng family."
Hearing this, Jia Huan hurriedly asked: "Master, don't wait until tomorrow. I'm going to get the money now. I wonder if I can get the person out today?"
