Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers
Chapter 499 If you have any grievance, I will redress it for you!
Wei Jie: "Yes, the law is nothing more than human feelings. In the newly revised marriage law, perhaps add a clause that women have the right to deal with it, but they cannot directly ask for pardon. The most they can do is to be exiled to the army."
Shen Lanxi nodded in a good mood and turned to other officials: "Do you think this newly revised article is okay?"
Hubu: "Great, it couldn't be better."
Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "All the stolen property will be returned to me as compensation, and all the property of the relevant persons involved in the case will belong to the victim. Is this okay?"
Wei Jie: “Yes!”
Ministry of Finance: "Yes, that's great."
Shen Lanxi: "It has already been sentenced. The Dali Temple will investigate. After verifying that it is really as the woman said, the Ministry of Justice will be responsible for arresting the person!"
Ministry of Justice: “Yes!”
After the woman knelt down and kowtowed to thank Shen Lanxi, she followed the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.
Just as Shen Lanxi was about to speak, another person ran out and knelt on the ground.
"The Regent is making the decision for me..."
Shen Lanxi said with a smile: "There was none just now, but now there is none."
"Tell me, if you have any grievances, I will redress them for you!"
The woman cried and rolled up her sleeves: "Prince Regent, I can't survive in my husband's family anymore. Everyone in my husband's family beat me, saying that I can't give birth to a son. But they didn't break my legs because I learned how to make tofu when I was at my parents' home, and my husband's family relied on me to support the family. Now my daughter has grown up, and they are such beasts that they want to sell her to a rich man as a concubine. I have to save my daughter even if it means risking my life."
Shen Lanxi: "Beating your wife, I want to ask you, does your daughter's husband's family also beat her?"
The woman nodded hurriedly: "Beating, my mother and I were beaten almost every day, sometimes three or four times a day."
Shen Lanxi: "Is there any clause about beating wife and daughter in the marriage law?"
Wei Jie: “No.”
Shen Lanxi: "Just right, let's add one more rule here. Anyone who beats his wife and daughter will have his left hand chopped off and be exiled! All the people in the family who participated, whether they instigated the incident or did it, will be punished the same way!"
One official retorted: “Isn’t this a bit too serious?”
Ministry of Revenue: “Not serious at all.” Much of the land in the north is uncultivated.
Shen Lanxi: "All the money of the husband's family belongs to the victim. I am also a woman, and I know that it will be difficult for a woman to return to her parents' home after getting married. So I think it is reasonable to send her to her husband's home and make room for her!"
"If my husband's family members don't agree, or cause trouble, or insult me verbally, every one of them will be sent into exile!"
The Minister of War said with a dark face: "The Regent is too lenient towards women."
Shen Lanxi immediately replied: "One more thing, the same applies to men! If a man marries a strong wife, and his wife has many brothers at home, and they bully and beat the man, or verbally humiliate the man, it is the same crime as the woman who was beaten before!"
Many officials and civilians twitched their lips and felt extremely embarrassed.
Is a man who is beaten by a woman still a man?
Suddenly a cry was heard from the crowd, followed by a thin man running forward and falling to his knees.
Everyone's eyes widened, with a strange premonition.
"Regent, please seek justice for the common people... I really can't live any longer..." The man said as he pinched his fingers together and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his tears and nose.
Shen Lanxi's eyes twitched, and then she said, "Quick, the Dali Temple will verify it, and the Ministry of Justice will arrest him!"
People from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice stepped forward, trying not to laugh.
Shen Lanxi: "Look, the newly revised law comes in handy right away!"
Baiguan: "..."
Shen Lanxi was deeply moved and said, "Look at how many good things we have done today..."
The officials pursed their lips tightly, not knowing how to refute.
Normally, nothing happens. Why does Shen Lanxi encounter so many messy things as soon as she goes out?
Could it be that she arranged it in advance?
Mrs. Song's husband's family? The nephew of the Minister of War? And the two people just now, were they all arranged in advance?
Even if Shen Lanxi was a genius, it would be impossible for her to put together all these real events, right?
It must be said that they got half the truth.
The man in the Confucian robe and the man with orchid fingers were both arranged by Shen Lanxi, but the others were not.
As soon as the man with the orchid finger left, three more people knelt on the ground like dumplings and begged Shen Lanxi for justice.
Afterwards, Shen Lanxi solved the problem while revising the laws, extending from the marriage laws to the laws of the Great Zhou, one after another, until the results of the autopsy on the body of her brother's daughter in the Taichang Temple came out.
It was already dark, but the torches were as bright as day tonight, lighting up most of the capital city!
"Reporting to the Regent, after investigation, it was found that Tan Yu'er was poisoned to death."
The sister of the Minister of War's sister's legs went limp and she sat down on the ground with a thud.
The Dali Temple also found out about the progress of the case.
"According to the confession of the servants of Tan Yuer's husband's family, Tan Yuer was murdered by the entire family of her husband in order to snatch her dowry and fill the deficit. Upon investigation, it was found that Tan Yuer's husband not only frequently visited brothels, but also kept mistresses, went to gambling houses, and owed huge gambling debts!" Wei Jie handed over the confession.
Shen Lanxi: "The evidence is conclusive, and the case will be handled according to the wedding law!"
The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple walked up to his younger brother and said a few words, but was harshly rebuked by his younger brother.
The younger brother cried out, "Prince Regent, I want them to pay for my daughter's life. I am old now, and I might die someday. I want to see with my own eyes that they get what they deserve!"
Shen Lanxi: "Okay, we'll follow the wedding law, the dowry will be returned, and all the property will be yours!"
The younger brother of the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple said: "I don't want money, nor do I want my daughter's dowry. I want to donate all my money to the Women's Academy. If the Women's Academy had been opened a few years earlier, maybe my daughter would not have died!"
"I want all girls like my daughter to be educated and sensible, and to learn how to protect themselves!"
Shen Lanxi: "The Ministry of Revenue will handle this matter!"
"You are a good father who loves his daughter. From now on, I will send you a list of the sources of your donations every month."
"There's a place for you on the Merit Wall of the Women's Academy!"
The younger brother of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple staggered to his feet with tears in his eyes. The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple hurried over to support him, but was thrown away at the first try, and the same happened at the second try. It was only at the third try that he managed to hold onto his brother's arm.
Shen Lanxi stood up and stretched her body a few times, then looked at the two brothers walking away and sighed, "How pitiful are the parents in the world!"
"Every parent wants to give their children the best. Even if their children cut a finger, they will be heartbroken and unable to sleep at night. The pain of losing a daughter must be like tearing out the heart and bones!"
Many people with children at home empathized with this.
"The Regent is a great man!"
"The Regent is wise and powerful!"
"The Regent King, His Majesty..."
As he shouted, the face of the assistant minister of the Ministry of War became increasingly darker.
If he pleaded for his sister's family at this time, he would definitely incur public outrage.
