Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

November 15th, the seventh day after the opening of the Women's Association, was around six o'clock.

Outside the Xingbu Yamen came an old woman in her sixties and richly dressed to play drums.

"What's the grievance of the drummer?" The officer on duty immediately ran out.

"I'm here to surrender." The old woman put down her drumstick and replied.

"What case do you want to file?" The officer was stunned.

At such an old age, looking at the clothes and grooming, he is either rich or noble, what can he do?

"I can't tell you exactly what case to file until I meet your Minister of Justice," the old woman said.

She opened her mouth to see the Lord Assistant. This old woman sounded very arrogant, didn't she?

We, the Minister, have many things to do and are very busy every day. Can anyone see him?

The yamen officer rolled his eyes and tried to say something, but considering her age, it was hard for her to say anything.

The old woman was obviously a good person, so when she saw this, she added: "I am from the Liu family of Censor Zhongcheng. You can go in first and report."

As soon as the yamen servant heard that she was from Liu Junxi's family, he turned around and reported it without saying a word.

The case of Anhong County scholar Luo Xing suing Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Junxi for killing his wife and murdering his father has already become a hot topic.

It is impossible for the government officials not to know.

Coincidentally, Lin Haoming happened to be in the government office today.

After getting the report, it came out soon.

"Are you Mrs. Liu?" After Lin Jieming came out, he looked at the old woman and asked.

"Yes, you are Mr. Lin, the Minister of Justice?" The old woman nodded, her eyes fell on Lin Haoming, looked at him for a moment, and then asked again and again.

"He is our Minister Lin." The yamen servant who had just gone in to report was the first to answer.

"Qian has met Master Lin, and I have come to surrender." Qian bowed to Lin Haoming before speaking.

"Let's talk first." The entrance of the Criminal Department's Yamen was obviously not the place where the case would be tried, so Lin Haoming took her to the lobby.

Entering the government hall, Lin Haoming sat on the main seat, picked up the gavel and patted it lightly: "Who are you? Where are you? What case are you here to surrender?"

Although Qian has been a wealthy old lady for more than ten years, she has no real insight.

It was the first time in my life that I entered the main office of the Ministry of Justice. My legs were shaking a little when I saw the solemn lobby and the numerous government officials standing on both sides with killing sticks in their hands.

Remembering the purpose of her trip, she closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, forced to control the uneasiness and fear in her heart, and slowly said:

"My ancestral home is Chongyu County. My surname is Qian. I now live in the capital. She is the mother of Liu Junxi, the censor.

A few days ago, a boy named Luo came to your Excellency to accuse my son of killing his wife and killing his father, right? "

"Not bad." Lin Haoming nodded.

"I came here just for this matter. The things the Luo family boy said are not false, but they have nothing to do with my son. They were all done by me.

After my son was in high school, he came home and told me that a wealthy family in Beijing had taken a fancy to him and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.

But he had already married a wife and had children, so he couldn't be ungrateful.

But as a man, the first priority is to change his family and honor his ancestors. How can he hesitate because of a wife who cannot be of any help to him.

For this reason, after I heard this, I went to find Ms. Chen, fell in love with her, tried to reason with her, and hoped that she would take the initiative to reconcile with my son.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Chen didn’t know how to flatter her, so she didn’t say anything if she disagreed. She even ran back to her parents’ home and asked her parents to come and put pressure on our Liu family.

He also threatened us that if we dared to force the Chen family to reconcile, we would go to the Yamen to report our son for being ungrateful and planning to abandon his wife once he was in high school...

How could I allow them to ruin my son's future? Instead of doing anything, I decided to spend money to pay for the murder.

There was a group of active bandits around Chongyu County and Zhangshan Town where I was located. I asked someone to find them and spent a lot of money to have them kill the entire Chen family and the Chen family.

The old man in my family has a stubborn temper. He said that a man should not be ungrateful and have his backbone stabbed. He would not allow his son to stop his wife and marry another.

Especially after learning that I hired someone to kill someone, I was even more angry and wanted to go to the Yamen to sue me.

Everyone who blocks my son's future is my enemy. How could I let him miss my important event, so I was cruel and gave my old man a packet of medicine.

I don’t need to say more about what happens next..." Qian was a little scared at first, but as he spoke, he forgot about his fear, and became more and more angry and fluent as he spoke.

Almost all the government officials and officials present were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen such a ferocious and arrogant old lady who was good at talking heresy.

Only Lin Shilang, who was sitting on the throne, was not moved at all. After Qian's voice fell, he opened his mouth and asked:

"Ms. Qian, I will not ask you, a country woman, where you can get the poison that can make people unable to speak or move.

I don’t even ask how you got in touch with those gangsters who kill without batting an eye. I just want to ask you, since your son has no idea of ​​exchanging his wife, why does he think that a wealthy family in the capital wants to recruit him as soon as he returns home? Can I tell you about my son-in-law?

Could it be that he knew how much you loved your son and deliberately told him things that were difficult for him to do, so as to use your hand to get rid of his wife?

According to the laws of this dynasty, those who instigate others to kill, especially those who instigate elders to kill for themselves, are regarded as principal offenders.

And the person your son murdered was his own father. According to the law, he should be sentenced to Lingchi. "

"No, no, that's not the case, my son, my son..." Qian suddenly panicked.

No, didn’t my son say that? As long as she takes all the blame.

At the same time, he also said that the laws of this dynasty stipulated that an old woman over sixty years old could not be sentenced to death. After pleading guilty, she would be sentenced to exile at most.

Exile is the best option. With his ability, he will be able to ensure that she has no worries in her later years.

What went wrong?

Oh, by the way, she panicked and said that what her son told her was that she heard from a friend in the same field who came back before him that there was a noble man in the capital who wanted to recruit her son as his son-in-law.

Or maybe she said it on purpose.

Today's trip to the Ministry of Justice was not something she wanted to do, but she had to do it.

The problem is that now that things are messed up, what should we do next?

"Ms. Qian, you are asking for the truth. Did your son force you to come over and take the blame for him?" Lin Haoming asked again when he saw this.

"No, no, the murderer was an old woman and had nothing to do with my son." Qian calmed down and insisted that she was the one who killed everyone.

"In that case, come on, take Qian into custody first, and then arrest his son Liu Junxi for inciting his mother to commit murder.

After Liu Junxi captured him, he was imprisoned with his mother. "Shilang Lin was stunned.

"No, no, don't lock me up with him..." Qian was shocked, with fear on her face.

If she was locked up with her son, he would definitely not let her go if he knew that she had messed up.
