After listening carefully to Gu Yun's case, Xu You suddenly realized it. It turned out that there was a man named Qiu Yangpi in Qiantang County. Because his family was poor, his mother was unable to bury him after his death, so he sold his biological daughter to Li Dong from the same county. His daughter Qiu San was only seven years old, and she had a pretty face and a full beauty. Li Dong sold her to Liang Qing from Juzhang County for ten times the price, but it did not explain the origin of Qiu San.

Later, Qiu Yangpi and Li Dong were arrested and brought to justice due to reports from their neighbors. According to the Chu State's thief law, "Those who sell their descendants are sentenced to one year of prison... Those who plunder, plunder, and those who sell people as slaves will be executed!", so at first glance, there is nothing special about this case.

Gu Yun said: "...The county magistrate Du means that he will punish Qiu Sheepskin for one year according to the law and punish Li Dong with the sentence of hanging. However, Li County magistrate disagreed..."

"Such as the rules should be done!" Bao Xi asked, "Why did County Magistrate Li disagreed?"

"It's a long story!"

Gu Yun turned his head and whispered: "Come here!"

Immediately, a man in black turned out from behind the screen. He was thin and restrained, but he had a kind of demeanor between his head and his eyebrows.

"Go to the lobby to invite County Chief Li and County Chief Du to come here to talk!"

"promise!"

The man in black bowed and retreated. Xu You watched his pace steadily and took root. He should not be a yamen in the county yamen. However, thinking about Gu Yun's background, it is reasonable to have several master guards.

After a moment, two people came in. One had a thin face, like a dead leaf, and was about to die. He walked in a shaky way. It was Li Dingzhi, the county magistrate of Qiantang. The other was tall and stout, with dark skin. He was full of energy while looking around, but it was Du Sansheng, the county magistrate.

Within a county, the county magistrate is the chief, followed by the county magistrate, that is, the second in command, and the county magistrate is the second in command. However, the county magistrate is in charge of the criminal prison and has great power, and sometimes he does not even take the county magistrate seriously.

"See, I've seen Ming Mansion!" Li Dingzhi panted as he spoke, as if he would not be able to catch the breath in the next moment, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Mingfu, I said that Li Dong was killed for his crime. No matter what reason, he could not excuse him!" Du Sansheng's voice was as thick as his body, as if a huge hammer of a thousand gold hit a broken drum. His muffled voice was even more unbearable than Li Dingzhi.

Xu Youan sat aside and suddenly felt a little pitiful to Gu Yun. He worked with two people like this every day, not to mention his personality, but just speaking, it would be very difficult!

"Prince Du, don't be anxious!" Bao Xi smiled and said, "Let's listen to County Chief Li's reasons first. If you are in charge, you can discuss it. If you are not in charge, Mingfu will make a decision at that time."

Du Sansheng snorted and said, "Zhengzhubu Bao, you understand. Do you still don't know what the county magistrate is thinking? This Li Dong is his nephew!"

Gu Yun was stunned and said strangely: "Why didn't you say that in the lobby just now?"

Du Sansheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Mingfu, although I am a rough man, I also know that family scandals should not be made public. There are so many people in front of the hall, and it is inevitable that people will feel that our Qiantang County protects the shortcomings and favors the people..."

"Du Sansheng, you don't... you have less blood... you spray, spray!" Li Dingzhi's forehead bulged and pointed at Du Sansheng and said angrily: "It's true that Li Dong is my nephew, but in his early years, the two families had broken off contacts. Who doesn't know about the neighbors? I... I follow the law and be loyal to him. Even if it's not Li Dong, if it's changed, it's a different person, I'll still have to..."

"What should I do? I need to protect you?" Du Sansheng took a step forward suddenly. Li Dingzhi was by his side like a three-year-old child, and said, "Li Dingzhi, don't think I don't know your behavior. If you really get out of here, you will be the first one who is unlucky!"

Xu You watched coldly. The conflict between the two was not a day or two. It should have been incompatible before Gu Yun came to Qiantang. It was just that he was so big and small in front of his boss and was openly fighting. I am afraid there was something else behind it.

"Enough!"

Gu Yun frowned, but his face was too beautiful, and even his frown looked like a woman. However, the sound of "enough" was heard in the ears of Li Dingzhi and Du Sansheng, and he was shocked at the same time, standing obediently, not daring to say a word.

"Mr. Li, why shouldn't Li Dong be executed?"

Li Dingzhi cleared his throat and calmed down, saying: "The law of stealing is stipulated that selling off descendants only lasts one year, and selling relatives within five robes is only sentenced to death for the elders. The relatives, concubines and wives are exiled, but the buyers do not add the death penalty. Although the circumstances are different, the punishment is too great and cannot be convinced!"

Du Sansheng immediately argued: "When Qiu Sheepskin sold his daughter, he already said that Qiu San was a relative daughter, neither a slave nor a maid, but a real good man. Li Dong knew the good and bought it, and he did not violate the law, but he sold it to Liang Qing at a high price, but he committed the crime of plundering and selling people. He was punished together with both crimes, and the execution was extremely fair!"

Li Dingzhi was no longer breathing at this time, and spoke very quickly, saying: "The law has other provisions that 'knowing that people plunder and steal things, and those who deliberately buy them will use followers'. Li Dong bought Qiu San at most treated him as a follower... Moreover, when Qiu Sheepskin was sold to his daughter, he had already stated that he would not redeem it. Qiu San had become Li Dong's slave, and belonged to the family wealth. If the family wealth was sold to others, which law stipulates that it would not be allowed? Therefore, the subordinates believed that the crime of the follower should not exceed Qiu Sheepskin, and punishing Li Dong with a repeal is enough to punish him."

Gu Yun nodded and said, "The county magistrate's words are indeed reasonable! County magistrate Du, what else do you have to say?"

Du Sansheng was not as verbally as Li Dingzhi, and he became a little anxious at this time, saying, "Although Qiu San was sold to Li Dong by Qiu Sheepskin, his essence was still a good man. He knew the good man and then concealed the identity of the good man and resold Liang Qing. Such behaviors were bought by his daughter and then sold to others. Even if he went to Jinling, it would be a death sentence. Mingfu, you first came to Qiantang, and you didn't understand the matter of punishment, so don't be deceived by villains and leave trouble for yourself."

"presumptuous!"

Gu Yun said coldly: "Prince Du, the court decided to discuss matters in the second hall, which was a way to open up the road of speech and gather ideas. I, Yuner, and others, argue with each other. If you have reason, don't bother with unreasonable reasons! You retreat!"

Du Sansheng looked angry and obviously dissatisfied. He bowed his hand carelessly and then turned around and left.

Li Dingzhi's eyes showed a proud look and said, "The light of the cave in Mingfu is a blessing for the people of Qiantang!"

"You retreat too! Qiu Yangpi and Li Dong will be detained for the time being. Liang Qing is acquitted and let him go home!"

"No!" Li Dingzhi knew that Gu Yun had to discuss with Bao Xi, but the matter was almost certain and he would not make any trouble anymore. He left with satisfaction.

"Sir, what do you think?"

Bao Xi smiled and said, "What Du County Magistrate said actually makes sense. The law of stealing clearly stipulates that if the law is not ruled, it will hinder the future of the Ming Mansion!"

Gu Yun shook his head and said, "How can we take human life matters lightly? Blindly following the law and ignoring the truth is the real obstacle to future prospects."

Bao Xi stroked his long beard with his hand and said, "Those who sell off descendants are sentenced to one year, while selling good deeds is a death sentence. Have you ever thought about why the court would enact such a law?"

"This..." Gu Yun said sincerely: "I have never considered this issue. Please give me some advice."

Bao Xi was about to speak, but when he saw Xu You thinking about it, he felt like taking the exam and asked deliberately: "Xu Langjun, what do you think?"

Xu You smiled slightly and said, "You are vulgar martial artist, how can you understand these things? The chief clerk should not make things difficult for him."

The more he did this, the more Bao Xi felt that he was unfathomable, and he had to explore it more clearly. He insisted on asking him again and again, and even Gu Yun joined in the fun and said, "Weizhi, don't be humble. This case involves the life of someone. If you think about it, I hope you will tell me directly."

Xu You hesitated and said, "I'm sorry to be ugly! Fei Qing's caution is right. Nothing is more important than priests. The head is not a leek, and it can grow again after being cut, so you must be very cautious."

"Ha, this is wonderful!" Gu Yun applauded and laughed, and then said with a sigh: "However, I may not be able to eat leeks in the future."

Chives are leek flowers. There is a sentence in Cui Shi's "Four Minutes Monthly Orders" of the Han Dynasty. It was a home-cooked leek in July. It was a home-cooked dish in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and was loved by the public. Xu You also said: "The court's laws are very considerate, sometimes lenient, and sometimes strict. For example, the thief law is the sentence for selling children only one year. This is because it is not a difficult time to live or die. No parents will sell their children as goods. Sometimes they sell their children, and their parents will receive money to support their elderly life, and their children can also live in other places. Although this is a tragic matter, the two evils are the least, so they are lenient. As for those who plunder and sell good people, they are deemed to be a death sentence, but they are not allowed to separate their flesh and blood from good families because of the benefits of money. These people are destroyed and cannot be redeemed for a hundred deaths. Therefore, the law is strict and satisfying."

Halfway through hearing this, Gu Yun had already restrained his smile, sat upright, looking at Xu You, his affectionateness almost made people think that he was peeping at his lover. After he finished speaking, he immediately praised: "Weizhi is really a good teacher and friend, and what I see and know is beyond my reach. A few days ago, I heard you think that Weizhi is a talented scholar who is beyond the world. Today, after listening to the lenient and strict statement, I realized that Weizhi is also a wise man who has entered the world."

Xu You smiled anxiously and said, "Just talk nonsense, Feiqing has ruined me!"

The two of them were in love with each other, but an uncontrollable surprise flashed through Bao Xi's eyes. You should know that even the officials in charge of punishment may not be proficient in the law in this era, let alone nobles like Xu You who came from a family. His knowledge is so wide that it is really different from the rumored playboy who acted recklessly.

The Xu family of Yixing, a century-old rich family, is indeed extremely powerful!

Bao Xi suddenly asked, "Mr. Xu Langjun, if you see it, how should this case be dealt with?"

Since he started, Xu You no longer hid his weakness and said coldly: "Qiu sheepskin sold his daughter to bury his mother, and was sentenced to one year of punishment. As for Li Dong, when he reselled it to Liang Qing, he did not inform Qiu San of the real situation. If Liang Qing thought Qiu San was a real slave, he might even resell it, so he wandered around and didn't know where he was. His family pursued the redemption, and had no place to seek visits, and he would never be able to redeem the good. According to his crime, it is no different from plunder. Moreover, the law is strict and the traitors are easy to stop, the government is lenient and the people are often offended. The metaphor of water and fire is clear. Li Dong can be executed!"

Regardless of past and present, Xu You hated human traffickers the most. He was born in a poor and humble family and was lonely and helpless. When he was young, he was mostly resold and disappeared. However, the law was too light to deal with human traffickers and it was difficult to form a deterrent force. Therefore, how can the death penalty against Chu State be not supported?

Bao Xi stared at Xu You for a long time, turned to look at Gu Yun, and said, "What Mr. Xu said is exactly my opinion. Now he is to buy someone's relatives and sell them again. He will not sue his predecessors for good confession, and he will be punished with the same plunder. Li Dong is sentenced to hang!"

Gu Yun pondered for a moment, made up his mind and said, "According to the two of you, we will be promoted to court tomorrow and ruled this case!"

Xu You suddenly stood up, bowed to Gu Yun, and said, "You still have something to do. Please ask Feiqing to write to the court, thinking that the law of eternity will be determined!"

Seeing Xu You talking solemnly, Gu Yun turned a straight face and said, "Please tell me Weizhi!"

"According to the words of County Magistrate Li, there are clear rules for selling the five wards. The law firm does not state the crime of the buyer. I think the fundamental method is not in the flow, not in the annual punishment, nor in the hanging, but in the case of letting the plundering good people have nowhere to sell, no one dares to buy, and one goes up and down, so there are fewer people who plunder people! Now, if Li Dong does not resell others and conceals the situation, he can only be acquitted by the law. Such punishment will not move the skin and fur, and will not hurt the bones. How can he ban the evil of human nature? Therefore, please write a letter to Feiqing. In the future, not only will the seller be serious crimes, but the buyer will also be accused of the same offender, and it will not be considered as a follower!"

Gu Yun walked to Xu You, bowed to the ground, and promised: "I will give my family's strength to let the court pass this discussion! Wei's kindness is enough to set an example for all generations. Yun thanks Wei for those poor people who are wandering in other places!"
