Chapter 55 The Law(1/2)
The crying sound came from the private room next door.
Hearing the sound, Zhou Qing frowned and turned to look at Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Huaishan also reacted, got up, took a cup and went straight to the wall.
The cup was pressed against the wall and his ears were supported.
Chen Li...
master?
Just as Shen Li twitched his eyes, Zhou Qing picked up the cup in front of him and fell to Zhou Huaishan.
The sound from next door came without falling.
Next door private room.
Wang Qiang's father sat there with a dark face, looking at Zhou Huaihai's eyes, wishing he could tear him directly.
Zhou Huaihai smiled awkwardly.
What was crying was Wang Qiang's mother.
While crying, Wang Qiangniang spat at Wang.
A mouthful of phlegm was spit directly onto Wang's arm.
"If you have shameless things, you will know that you cheat me, what good will you do to you if you cheat me! Now, the daughter-in-law I have won is gone! Are you happy?"
Wang almost vomited because of the phlegm.
But I dare not have an attack.
This morning, Wang Qiang’s parents came to the county government to report to the officials.
When the county magistrate tried a case, he naturally had to ask everyone to report the case and testify.
There is no physical evidence, as for the personal evidence...
It was the couple who told Wang Qiang’s parents that someone had seen Zhou Qing and Wang Qiang enter the deserted temple together.
Immediately, the county magistrate asked someone to go to Qingyang Village to get them.
When she arrived at the court, she wanted to be stubborn, but when the Killing Stick hit her, she and Zhou Huaihai were so scared that their legs were weak. Before the county magistrate could ask, they called her.
No one saw Zhou Qing and Wang Qiang entering the deserted temple together, they fabricated it.
After saying this, Wang Qiang's mother almost beat Wang to tear cabbage in the county government.
If the Wang couple hadn't made up their own tricks, they wouldn't have rushed to Zhou Qing last night, and the life-and-death marriage contract would not have been cancelled.
As for Wang Qiang...
Who would have thought that the county magistrate knew about Wang Qiang early in the morning.
Wang Qiang was arrested by the county government for doing evil in Wangjia Village and worked hard to build roads in Shilipu.
The county magistrate said that this is called labor reform.
They also caught two young men from the same village.
The two young men had already received a letter from their families. They didn't tell Wang Qiang's parents because they had a bad relationship with the Wang family, and let them worry.
As for when Wang Qiang will be released, the county magistrate said that it depends on when the road will be repaired.
Fast, three or five years.
Slowly, wait.
When she thought of her baby son working as a coolie, Wang Qiang's mother felt so distressed that she felt like someone stabbed her with a knife.
Fortunately, Wang Qiang was not dead, which was a blessing in disgrace!
As soon as the county government came out, Wang Qiang's mother grabbed Wang and asked her to treat her to Fushun Restaurant.
Otherwise, they would sneer away the incident of their lying and framed Zhou Qing.
The next door was cursing, and Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan heard the incident.
The father and the two sat back on their seats with anger on their faces.
"I've been worried that the county government will delay the competition today, but I didn't expect this to be the case!
I knew that my elder brother was not a guy, but I didn’t expect that he was not a guy! Fortunately, it happened yesterday and we completely broke up with them."
Zhou Huaishan looked angry and picked up the cup on the table and poured a cup of tea.
Zhou Qing was a little surprised by Wang Qiang's place of visit and looked at Chen Li.
"Why did Wang Qiang be arrested to build roads?"
"Your Majesty of this dynasty is wise, and the water conservancy of various prefectures and counties are being promoted and road construction is being carried out.
But the labor force for building roads is insufficient.
Your Majesty then ordered that anyone who commits the crime of burning, killing, rape and adultery, and the circumstances are serious but has not caused any death, they will be sent to build roads.
In addition, those under the age of fourteen who commit the crime of burning, killing and adultery will be sent to the road construction as long as the circumstances are extremely serious."
When Zhou Qing heard the word "Four-year-old" and moved.
"How long will it take to repair?"
"On your life."
"If those who are seven or eight years old, or six or seven years old, have committed such sins, they will also go to build roads?"
Chen Li nodded.
"As long as the government finds out, it is the case that the perpetrator commits the crime independently, and it is not instigated by others."
Chen Li's words fell down, and saw Zhou Qing frowning and sighing.
"Miss Qing thinks they are pitiful?"
Zhou Qing pursed her lips.
Is it pitiful?
It's hateful!
If they are pitiful, will the people they have been harmed by them be pitiful?
In her time...
Thinking of the fairness that would never be obtained, Zhou Qing felt heavy.
"Three years ago, there was a case in Kyoto.
When the criminal was committing the crime, he was only eight years old. He took advantage of the fact that there was no adult in the neighbor's girl's house and climbed over the wall and entered the girl's house. He couldn't steal it and killed the girl.
The methods were cruel, and the case caused a sensation in Kyoto at that time.
However, because the perpetrator was too young, the government office only arrested and detained him for one year in accordance with the laws and regulations.
Do you know what he did after one year's sentence?"
Zhou Qing's heart tightened and he didn't dare to guess.
The story Chen Li told was not a minority of similar cases in the era where she was.
Can handle the results...
Zhou Qing's hand shaking uncontrollably.
Chen Li sighed.
"After the criminal was released from prison, he held a grudge against the little girl's parents. He believed that the little girl's parents had harmed him. If they did not report the case, he would not be detained for a year.
The first thing he did when he was released from prison was that he took a knife and went straight to the girl's house. In the name of sincere apology, he pulled the knife directly while the girl's parents were not prepared."
Chen Li said this, Zhou Huaishan slapped the table.
"Damn, this is a beast!"
Zhou Qing's hand trembled violently.
Chen Li said: "Since this case, the court's law has been changed. Any crime with serious circumstances should be punished if it is a crime. Those who are not killed will be sent to build roads and repair them for the rest of their lives, regardless of age."
After the speech fell, Chen Li was silent for a moment, took a breath and sighed slowly.
"Don't expect bad people to become good people when they grow up and understand things.
He will only become a bigger bad guy.
In order not to cause more harm, the best way is to completely insulate them from society."
Zhou Qing listened and felt complicated.
Seeing Zhou Qing's face turned heavy, Shen Li turned his head, "Does Miss Qing think it's inappropriate?"
Zhou Qing shook his head slowly.
"I think it's good, that's how it should be!"
