Chapter 1193: Turning the tide in adversity
Song Jin frowned: "You are not familiar with the laws of Dajin."
"I am familiar with the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. If the abduction of a woman is a serious offense, castration and imprisonment for a minimum of three years will be imposed."
After Shen Xia came to power, many laws of the Jin Dynasty were revised, especially those concerning women and children.
For example, rape of women.
At that time, Shen Xia proposed castration and imprisonment, and the officials of the Ministry of Justice felt that it was too serious.
I feel that if it is so serious, then the criminals are more likely to harm the victims.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xia insisted.
In recent years, cases of rape of women have become increasingly rare.
In order to taste something new, they lost their offspring, but they still knew what was more important.
Only through severe punishment can the cost of crime be reduced.
For example, killing three or nine clans. Who would dare to do those things?
Just like modern times.
In a big city, the fine for illegal parking is two thousand yuan.
It seems outrageous, but it really solves the problem of illegal parking.
Song Jin glanced at County Magistrate Qiu with displeasure. He didn't believe that a county magistrate didn't know what was happening within his jurisdiction, but since he could avoid responsibility, he would let it go this time.
"You know why you ask me?"
County Magistrate Qiu: Aren’t you afraid that someone can use the back door?
three days later.
The government office issued a notice.
The Qing family watched as their only son was castrated and imprisoned for fifteen years.
As soon as this case came out.
The people of the whole county were surprised.
They thought that no matter what, the Qing family had a daughter who was a concubine in the Zhao family, so at most they could just give her a punishment for show.
As a result, the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty were really followed, and the people cheered, saying that they had met a wise ruler.
No one is afraid of being oppressed by power anymore.
The people finally have human rights.
The people of the Qing family were crying their hearts out.
After fifteen years, it’s basically useless!
They felt that it was fortunate that Qinghu had left behind a son and two daughters in these years, otherwise their Qing family would have been extinct!
He was even sentenced to castration. How cruel!
It will be implemented three days after the case is closed.
The Qing family came to the door.
Ask Uncle Zhao for help.
Uncle Zhao took Aunt Qing to find the old lady.
Then the old lady was annoyed every day by her own family members.
Finally, he went to find Song Jin again.
Zhao Xue found out and stopped them at the Song family's door.
As a result, he was pulled away by Uncle Zhao.
Old Master Zhao couldn't persuade her, so he went into the Song family anyway.
Zhao Xue did not go in.
Just waiting at the door.
Mo Yi looked at her and said, "Don't worry, His Majesty and Lord Song are not the kind of people who would bring harm to others."
Zhao Xue shook her head: "I know, that's not what I'm worried about. If grandma really pleads for mercy, then the relationship between the Zhao family and the Song family will really be rifted."
Mo Yi took Zhao Xue's hand and said, "Don't worry. No matter what path they take, we can't stop them. We just need to do our job well."
When this happened, Song Jin told Mo Yi directly and sent someone else over.
Although Mo Yi is still the boss, there is a second-in-command under him.
In addition, Zhao Xue is only in charge of the textile industry.
Even the silk quilt has been handed over.
Zhao Xue was not angry either. After all, so many things happened under her nose.
It's normal for my third cousin to be angry.
The old lady and her husband went in, along with Uncle Zhao.
Shen Xia was in the backyard and only heard the information brought by the servants.
I really don't care.
Song Jin is in the front yard.
Looking at his grandfather: "Grandpa, grandma, hello, second uncle."
"Come here, serve some tea."
Second Uncle Zhao looked at Old Madam Zhao anxiously.
The old lady just opened her mouth.
Song Jin looked at the old lady: "Grandma, I know what you want to say."
The old lady shut up.
Let me hear what my grandson says first.
"Old Madam, you can open your mouth. You can let go of the Zhou family's affairs for your sake. But, Grandma, if this letting go means exchanging the future glory of the Zhao family, then by opening your mouth, you are severing the family relationship between the Zhao and Song families. Do you still want to open your mouth, Grandma?"
The old lady was stunned.
Exchange it for the glory of the Zhao family.
I have to say that she definitely doesn't want to. No matter how close her nephew is, can he be closer than her own son?
Song Jin looked at his second uncle Zhao and said, "Qinghu violated the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. Even if I were to kneel before His Majesty, His Majesty would not treat the law as a favor, let alone the old lady's plea."
Uncle Zhao was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't it just taking a few concubines? It shouldn't warrant such a severe punishment."
Song Jin frowned: "Then am I willing?"
Uncle Zhao: "You didn't do it willingly, but you still compromised in the end, didn't you?"
Song Jin shook his head: Forget it.
I can't explain it to him clearly.
In fact, this case might still be salvaged as long as they can convince the victim and get him willing to settle privately.
But Song Jin didn't intend to say it.
Instead, he looked at his grandmother and asked, "Grandma, have you made up your mind?"
Mrs. Zhao hesitated and said, "I am old now and can't take care of the children's affairs. Let them do as they please."
The meaning of Mrs. Zhao's words is self-evident.
She wanted to plead for mercy, but she didn't want the Zhao family to suffer any losses.
I still feel a little bit of blame in my heart.
After the Zhao family returned.
The Zhou family heard that there was no way back.
And they were given three days to return the stolen money, otherwise they would also be put in jail and eat the government's food.
The whole family went back obediently to collect money.
You should know that there has been a lot of corruption in recent years.
But I used a lot.
Now we have to pay so much money at once.
They also lost their jobs. It can be said that the Zhou family, after working hard for decades, was back to square one.
After Song Jin finished dealing with the matter, he returned to the backyard.
I told Shen Xia about my arrangements.
Shen Xia curled her lips: "Well done, I really didn't misjudge you."
Then he looked at the prince next to him and asked, "Did An An learn it?"
An An nodded: "I understand, kid."
These days, Shen Xia was at the Song residence and met Aunt Liu next door.
It just so happened that his daughter came back that day.
They all came together to pay their respects to Shen Xia.
Shen Xia looked at the familiar people and felt that time passed so quickly!
Originally, Shen Xia planned to stay here for half a month.
But this happened.
I don't want to stay here anymore.
During this time, the children were allowed to go out and play.
But they are all brought by the young master, so I can tell them what they looked like before.
The young master also told them how he met Shen Xia.
Every little bit between them.
It tells the story of how Shen Xia turned the Song family, which was once penniless, into wealthy businessmen and how he led the people of an entire village to become rich.
How to turn a village into a town?
The children listened to their mother's stories with admiration in their eyes.
"So, as long as you are smart and capable, you can turn things around even in adversity."
Yifan nodded: "Student understands."
After hearing this, Xiao Wan felt like she was injected with chicken blood. She also wanted to become a useful person in the future and be someone others could rely on.
Instead of relying on others.
Although An An didn't say anything, she admired Shen Xia very much in her heart.
It turns out that my mother is even more powerful than my father.
Shen Xia and his group did not say hello either.
Only Mo Yi knows.
We left before daybreak.
Because it is not far from Yanbei City.
So there was no break this time.
Go directly to Yanbei City.
There used to be a yard here, but now there are so many people that the small yard can’t accommodate them all.
So Song Jiang arranged another courtyard.
Not far from the general's mansion.
This gave Song's mother another surprise.
So I didn’t tell Song’s mother in advance.
Everyone is settled.
The next day, he went to the general's mansion with gifts.
The servant looked at Song Jiang and of course recognized him.
So he led everyone in.
"General Song is here. I will go and fetch the lady."
The butler was curious. Isn’t General Song in the capital?
Why did you suddenly come here?
Song Jiang and Shen Xia were not surprised by the housekeeper's mention of Madam.
After all, they all knew that Song's mother and Xiao Bei got married here.
In fact, they live together here without being disturbed by anyone they know, which suddenly feels pretty good.
