It is not difficult to see from the complaint that the defendant Shi is a person with bad moral character.
He is also a scholar, and he is simply praising the sage's book in vain! Patricide, wife abuse, and son-killing, which of these are not the things of beasts?
In particular, Qi Yu had personal experience with Ye's experience. I remember that when my wife gave birth to Qi Xiao, she had a miscarriage due to trauma. At that time, the lives of both mother and son were hanging by a thread. The sky was not responding to the calls, and the earth and the earth were not working. I was so helpless that I had no choice but to kneel down in front of the gods and Buddhas like a coward.
Although several years have passed since this incident, I still feel frightened when I think about it.
Perhaps influenced by this emotion, Qi Yu subconsciously stood on Ye's side without hesitation. Of course, morally he should do the same.
"Where is the defendant now?"
"He... doesn't want to come..."
drink! The shelf is not small! Still don’t want to come?
You have the final say on this matter?
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned cold.
The recent Qi Dalang was originally dark and thin, but now his complexion looks as blue as the sky.
Well, it seems that there is still one month left~~
Seeing his majestic official power, Mrs. Ye shuddered as if on conditioned reflex. After a pause, she hurriedly spat out the rest of the unfinished words: "Go back to Mr. Qingtian, that man doesn't want to The marriage with the slave family was separated, so I deliberately delayed it."
Oh, I see.
This is deliberate avoidance.
Legally speaking, if the defendant is not present, the presiding judge will generally not make an arbitrary judgment. At the very least, we should wait until both the defendant and the plaintiff are present before making a judgment.
When it comes to lawsuits, the public is always right and the mother-in-law is right. How can one just listen to one side of the story?
That would be so unfair.
However, Qi Dalang didn't think so. He firmly believed that in this case, all the responsibility lay with the man alone.
At the same time, he also believes that men who bully their wives are the most incompetent scum in the world. If they are all caught, they will not be unjust.
You should be like Qi Jing and give in to your wife in everything. That is what marriage should be like.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
In short, if this Shi was 'done' directly, he would never be wronged.
Maybe someone has said that it is not appropriate to break up with someone because of their fame and status!
That’s right, it’s all right!
If a dignified fourth-grade magistrate can't deal with a sour scholar like him, then why bother?
The general policy is set.
Gan!
Suddenly, Qi Yu opened his thinking eyes and asked Ye as kindly as possible: "Let me tell you, what kind of verdict do you want?"
Uh...why do you ask?
Aren't you the one who has the final say in deciding the case?
Mrs. Ye was a little stunned...
In fact, Mr. Qi's original intention was just to hear her thoughts to show respect for the woman's wishes. To others, however, it sounded a bit like negotiation.
When an official asks a question, the people must answer.
However, this time it was Ye's elder brother who answered on behalf of his sister: "Replying to Sir Qi, the common people's idea is to ask the government to educate my brother-in-law so that he will not make such mistakes again in the future. In addition, he must be compensated. The money for my father's coffin cannot be paid by my family... Also, don't sentence them to divorce. If so, who will support my sister?"
What, pay for the coffin?
Is this how you make a living?
Qi Yu was a little displeased, and angrily slapped the gavel tree gently, and said: "I said, have I asked you anything? Who asked you to speak? Shut up! Ye, please come back to me. if."
"I..." Ye hesitated, still stunned.
Qi Yu didn't rush her, he just stared at her silently and tried to figure out what she was thinking.
It was obvious that she still wanted to divorce, but she was afraid that her brother would be displeased and did not dare to say it openly.
She was a little scared.
However, this is a normal reaction.
At present, women's social status is very low and they are a vulnerable group with no voice. But in fact, they are half the sky of this country.
Qi Yu felt that if he could not protect the interests of vulnerable groups, his position as an official would lose its fundamental meaning.
People are precious!
The traditional spiritual shackles are deeply rooted, and now it is time to loosen them.
Qiongzhou's development is multi-faceted, not only its economic and military strength, but also the improvement of people's thinking. Only when people make progress can it be considered real progress.
Without going too far, let’s get back to the case at hand.
According to Qi Yu's thinking, he was very determined to divorce them. However, there was a prerequisite for this, which was to respect the woman's original intention. That's why he asked like that just now.
"Mr. Ye, answer the question..."
"Well...it all depends on the adults..." After holding it in for a long time, Ye finally said this.
Is this a sign of lack of assertiveness, or is it a direct delegation of authority?
No matter what it is, you have to accept this job. Being trusted by others is a blessing that you must not let down.
"Okay!" Qi Yu nodded solemnly and agreed.
In this way, Ye Shi placed all the responsibilities on the prefect alone. Even if his brother was dissatisfied, he did not dare to speak out openly.
That being the case, let’s make a judgment.
As far as the current divorce system is concerned, it can be roughly divided into two categories.
The first is called repudiation. Specifically, the man breaks off the relationship on the grounds that the woman violates the seven-exit rule. The seven outliers are: one is childless, two is sexual immorality, three is unfaithful to one's aunt and uncle, four is tongue-tied, five is theft, six is jealous, and seven is ill.
It can be seen that the man has the absolute initiative in divorcing his wife, but the woman has no right to refuse at all. In terms of prognosis, it is extremely difficult for a divorced woman to remarry due to her tarnished reputation.
The second method is called Heli. As the name suggests, Heli is a divorce based on the principle of peace being the most important. After both men and women have no objections, the documents can be signed in the witness of the family. From then on, there will be no grudges between the two parties. It is worth mentioning that if one of the parties has no family members, they can also come to the government to handle it.
Theoretically speaking, women after divorce can remarry, but this is only theoretical.
However, the above two methods have one thing in common, that is, the man must be present to carry out it. Look now, the defendant Shi deliberately avoided coming, looking for such a legal loophole.
Scholars know the law and are good at using it, but this time they used it in the wrong place.
Because, in addition to the above two common methods, the government also holds an extremely rarely used right to decree divorce, which is called "Yi Jue". And Qi Yu plans to exercise this special right.
The righteousness mentioned here does not refer to whether the relationship between husband and wife reaches the level of severance, but a standard red line based on the law.
As for the man's part, if the husband beats his wife's grandparents, parents, and kills his wife's grandparents, uncles, parents, brothers, aunts, sisters, etc., they can all be sentenced to death. The government only needs to determine the facts and then make a ruling in accordance with the law. It does not require the man to make a statement.
According to the facts of the case, the defendant Shi pushed his father-in-law and caused him to die in anger. This has obviously reached the red line of the law and can be regarded as unjust.
Judgment!
In addition, the money for the coffin must also come from Shi. If it weren't for the fact that this was a civil lawsuit, Qi Yu would have wanted to pursue criminal liability.
Strictly speaking, although Shi was killed, it was not intentional homicide. Therefore, there was no legal basis for placing him under supervision.
However, we can't let him be so cheap...
Back to business.
Qi Yu acted vigorously and resolutely, doing whatever he said and closed the case on the spot in a matter of seconds.
After the verdict, Ye's brother said worriedly: "Now that she has been sentenced to justice, how will my sister live in the future?"
It means, who will raise her.
"What a fool!" Qi Yu glared at him first, then said to the woman: "Don't worry, after a while, I will order the establishment of a textile factory. By then, you can Go in and work to earn wages. If anyone dares to stop you, come and report it, and I will make the decision for you. You have to remember that everyone has hard-working hands. As long as you are not lazy, there is no need to worry about not being able to support yourself. ?”
Then, there were some words of encouragement.
Although Ye was a little concerned about gains and losses, he still nodded in approval.
The prefect has already thought of a way out for himself, and has even said that he will make the decision for himself, so what else is there to worry about?
…
After withdrawing from the court, Qi Yu specially called Liu Shicheng, the manager of the ceremony room, and said, "This Mr. Shi is morally corrupt and has no compassion. It really makes me feel disgusted. In this case, you should immediately submit a letter to the provincial government office for the ceremony." Fang Chu, try to deprive him of his status as a scholar."
What? Waste one's fame?
This move is quite cruel!
Liu Shicheng said with some pity: "Sir, I have very few scholars in Qiongzhou, and now I want to deliberately abolish them. This is very detrimental to... our cultural and educational achievements."
In the face of political achievements and people's livelihood, which is more important?
When it’s time to make a choice, you have to make a choice!
Qi Yu looked determined and said: "Those so-called political achievements are just for the people above to see, I really don't care!"
"Really useless?"
"It's really useless!" Qi Yu nodded and said angrily: "What's the use of keeping the reputation of a morally corrupt person like him? If it's useless, it's useless. I don't feel bad at all! I, Qiongzhou, are lacking. They are real talents, not those sanctimonious people. Talents should be selected in a proper way. It is better to take a bite of fairy peach than to eat a basket of rotten apricots."
"Uh...yes!"
"..."
After arranging these trivial matters, Qi Yu once again picked up the two pleadings on the case.
After reading it again, it is not difficult to find that the wording in the article is rigorous, the thinking is clear, and the writing and ink are quite impressive.
It is precisely because of this that I can roughly understand the outline of the case at a glance and understand it clearly.
I didn’t expect that my barren Qiongzhou could actually harbor such talented women!
Otherwise, dig it out and use it too?
