Li Hanyao and others were invited to come to the hall.

Huo Huangying ordered the yamen runners to move chairs and give up their seats. After a long time of busyness, Duan Cunrui, Zhao Chaozong, and Yan Qian waited for a while before they could sit down.

Huo Huangying asked: "I am guilty of Li Chun, do you have any objections?"

Li Hanyao is not a "adult", but she is the first to echo Huo Huangying. She said: "Li Hanyao discusses Huo and believes that Li Chun is not guilty."

Luo Wuchen smiled and said, "I think Li Chun is innocent."

Afterwards, Yan Yun and others agreed with Huo Huangying.

Zhao Chaozong hesitated. If there is another occasion, he would make Li Chun excuse. However, this case was the first case after Huo Huangying took office. Many people here did not want Huo Huangying to "win the first battle" and were trying every means to find a way to catch her fault. He did not want to see Huo Huangying be proud, but hesitated.

After thinking about it over and over again, he decided to be impartial.

He stood up and said righteously: "How to judge? I think the law should be the basis. I cannot question her decision just because Lord Huo is a woman. However, I have never tried a case, and I cannot understand the law as well as all the adults, so I dare not show off my skills. If any adults question Lord Huo's judgment, please argue with Lord Huo. Which is right and who is wrong? Please comment and the people testify."

This sentence won praise.

Li Hanyao also said: "It's right!"

Duan Cunrui also said: "This is reasonable."

No matter how they can't tolerate Huo Huangying, they can't frame innocent people in public. Besides, Li Hanyao and others are familiar with the law. If they rule indiscriminately, Li Hanyao will definitely not miss the opportunity to trample on them, proving that Huo Huangying is stronger than the officials here and they will lose their reputation.

Zhao Chaozong sat down happily.

He suddenly realized that it is not difficult to cooperate with Li Hanyao. As long as everything is putting righteousness first and the people first, even if Li Hanyao seizes certain opportunities, it is not wrong to be irreversible, and he will not be uneasy in his conscience. In the future, Brother Wang Na will never blame him. After thinking about it, he will be as relaxed as ever.

Although he wanted to argue, Duan Cunrui did not intend to come forward in person. He learned from yesterday's lessons and no longer openly opposed Li Hanyao; Besides, he was a governor and had a high position, so he wanted to stay until the final judgment of which was right and wrong. The debate would be followed by subordinates, such as Magistrate Ma, who was ready to step forward.

Ma Taifu stood in the hall and looked around and said, "I thought: Li Chun should be convicted. He also had to bear the corresponding guilt for murder. What is the crime? The key is the word "mistake". Lord Huo said that he was not intentional. If he had intentional, he would not have murdered him by chance, but intentional murder, and he would be sentenced to death. Now he would be convicted of murder by chance."

These words were very pertinent.

The Ningbo prefect immediately agreed when he heard this.

Other officials agreed.

Duan Cunrui looked at Huo Huangying.

Li Hanyao also looked at Huo Huangying, seeing what she said, she didn't plan to help her. Today, Huo Huangying must be tried by herself!

Huo Huangying no longer laughed like before, lazy, sitting solemnly behind the case, with majesty in elegance, and even her tone of speaking changed, no longer delicate. She said decisively: "I don't agree with it!"

Magistrate Ma said: "What are the great ideas of Lord Huo?"

Huo Huangying said: "If there was no Li Ming's abuse of his wife and there was no Wan's presence, it was Li Chun and Li Ming's two brothers who had a fight, and the nature would be different. Even if Li Chun accidentally injured Li Ming, he would have to be convicted; however, Li Chun was to protect his sister-in-law."

Magistrate Ma hurriedly said, "It's all accidental injuries, what's the difference?"

Huo Huangying said: "Of course it's different. Everyone, Li Ming was grabbing Wan's hair and hitting the rockery. Should Li Chun stop watching Li Ming hit Wan's death? Or come forward to help his brother?"

Magistrate Ma said: "Then he shouldn't have pushed his brother into the rockery by mistake. If his subordinates were sensible, Li Ming would not die."

Huo Huangying said: "It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in pulling."

Magistrate Ma said: "So I said he killed him by chance."

Huo Huangying said: "It's hard for Li Chun to fail. This is not the ordinary quarrel between Li Ming and his wife. If it's an ordinary quarrel, Li Chun shouldn't have been inserted into it, but Li Ming is tyrannical and abuses his wife often. - This can be proved by Li Chun's parents and neighbors. How can Li Chun not save his sister-in-law when he sees his sister-in-law's danger? Besides, he saves his sister-in-law and is also protecting Li Ming, afraid that Li Ming will cause death. Who knew that Li Ming was injured on the head and could withstand the push and collision that he could withstand on weekdays, but he could not withstand it at that time, so he died."

As soon as the words were finished, the Li family spoke one after another.

They want to protect Li Chun, how dare they hide it again!

Li's father said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, my eldest son is very useless. He eats, drinks, gambles, and has a bad temper. He often beats his wife and vents anger."

Li's mother then beat her chest and stamped her feet and cried, "I didn't say it before, it was because of the flesh he fell from me! I had any way, no matter how hard it was, I could only swallow it myself. Today I opened up and said, "That's a disaster, a disaster that caused me and his father! The eldest daughter-in-law married him, and she was also suffering..."

Speaking of this, she turned to Wanshi.

Wan was crying.

Li's mother confessed: "Big wife, my mother scolded you just now, don't blame me. I'm so anxious!" Wan said with tears: "I don't blame my mother." - "Mom knows that you married the one who killed Qiandao suffered. The one who killed Qiandao died, did you say half a word? I haven't said it. Because his father and I had expected that this one who killed Qiandao will commit suicide sooner or later. We parents only ask him not to implicate the Li family. My eldest son is not a good deal, but my youngest son is talking about people who are useless. The neighbors and neighbors know that you go to the house to inquire. I can't watch him be wronged! He is very kind-hearted, to save his sister-in-law, not to push his brother intently. Please be kind to the adults. Please!"

After saying that, he kowtowed hard.

Li's father also kowtowed hard.

Wan said: "This incident occurred because of the little woman. My uncle is to protect the little woman. If the adult wants to sentence him, he will let the little woman be punished."

Seeing this, the people outside all burst into tears and said, "Li Ming was killed by the disaster. Why did he do to implicate his younger brother?"

Huo Huangying took the opportunity to say again: "I am not expelling Li Chun, it is really a special situation. You can think about it: If Li Chun hadn't encountered this incident that day, Li's father and mother would have to stop him when he saw his eldest son beat his eldest daughter-in-law?"

Li’s father and mother said in unison: “I must stop me.”

Huo Huangying said: "Who will stop him? With Li Ming's injury at that time, he will inevitably collide until he is pulled! Is this Li Chun's fault?"

Prefect Ma was not a talented person, with a moderate qualification. He only knew how to judge cases according to the law. He could not make any decisions on the flexibly using the law, so he could not refute the Huo Huangying.

Zhao Chaozong made a decision in his heart.

Duan Cunrui also made a decision. He looked at Huo Huangying with bright eyes, and had to admit in his heart that he had to try a simple civil dispute case so clearly, and not mention his identity, this is a talented woman who is absolutely capable of serving as the magistrate of Xiazhao County. Of course, he cannot turn black and white into black.

Another point: if the people do not procuratorate the officials, they will not be investigated. If Li’s father and mother do not hold the youngest son responsible for murdering the eldest son, the government cannot judge him.

Why didn't Huo Huangying mention this?

Did you forget it?

Duan Cunrui felt that she had not forgotten and was waiting for them. He looked at each other with Huzhou Censor Dong, and spoke at the same time: "Li Chun is not guilty!"

At the same time, Zhao Chaozong also spoke.
