The main reason was that Xian Baogen had something to hide. He was not a very cunning person and he told the truth under interrogation.
He accidentally killed his wife and concealed the truth, creating a false scene where it looked like Li Li had accidentally fallen from a building, and a life was lost.
The interrogators all thought that this man was a scumbag.
He beat his own daughter-in-law to death right after she gave birth. Although it was said to be manslaughter, who knows if it was premeditated?
Xian Baogen trembled as he revealed these things, and kept insisting that the Li family already knew the truth, so they cooperated and let Li Tao marry him.
This also left the interrogators speechless. The family's understanding was one thing, but Xian Baogen did kill someone.
Now it was difficult for the three members of the Xian family to get out. Finally, the case was tried by a special person, and they were sentenced for multiple crimes.
As the mastermind and the suspect who entered the Xiang family, Xian Ma was suspected of spying on state secrets and was sentenced to death with one year's reprieve.
Xian Baogen did not enter the Xiang family, but he accidentally killed his daughter-in-law and was also involved in rape, for which he was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Xian's father, who came in last, knew about it but did not participate. However, he talked nonsense about the international situation and was reasonably suspected of being an enemy spy. He was sentenced to a heavy sentence of twenty years in prison.
National security cannot be ignored. These three people have simply walked into trouble.
When the family's sentencing results were expedited to the Xian family, Grandma Xian, the only person still in charge of the family, fainted on the spot.
How could ordinary people ever see such a scene?
They never dreamed that they would be sentenced even more severely than Lu Dong just for wanting to get a granddaughter-in-law at no cost.
Everyone in the family compound was talking about the fate of Xian's father, mother, and Xian Baogen. Not knowing the inside story, they felt that the sentence was too harsh.
The Lu Dong incident had caused quite a stir before, and the safety of women in the entire county was shaken, so they killed the chicken to scare the monkey.
This time when Xiang Lili got into trouble, Li Tao noticed something was wrong and came to rescue her. Everyone discovered it in time and she was not seriously injured. Logically, she should have been sentenced to a lighter sentence.
Some people probably guessed, is there some hidden story?
Uncle Tian was studying the criminal law: "...this kind of situation is usually punishable by a prison sentence of at least three years but less than ten years. If the circumstances are serious, it's more than ten years. At the very least, it shouldn't be punishable by the death penalty or more than 20 years, right?"
When the word death penalty was mentioned, everyone who heard it shrank their necks in fear.
Everyone lives a peaceful life, who would have thought that such a fierce person would appear next door?
Yang Sanniang rolled her eyes and said, "Old Tian, there must be something more serious going on here. Our laws are strict and we won't make random judgments."
She spoke the truth in one sentence. Although she didn't know why the Xian family was sentenced in this way, she unconditionally supported the country's decision.
Besides, Xian Baogen is not innocent either. Everyone is very suspicious about the death of his first wife, Li Li.
Yang Sanniang thought it was a good thing that the Xian family members were arrested. What if Xian Baogen couldn't marry Xiang Lili and ended up causing trouble for other girls in the family compound?
You know, his nominal wife Li Tao has been married off, and continuing to stay in the family compound is like a time bomb.
It would be better for him to go to jail and let the country reform this scum.
An insider revealed the news: "I heard that they killed Li Li. They pushed her down the stairs on purpose to deceive us. After all, it was a human life."
We cannot allow people to misinterpret the judgment, but we cannot mention state secrets as this may attract bad people.
Then we can only use the Li Li incident to attract attention.
Others in the crowd chimed in: "Ah? They've killed people! Are they really that cruel? Don't let them get too angry and stab us too."
Alas, my old arms and legs cannot do much for the country, but at least I have a good tongue and can guide public opinion.
The master's words immediately made everyone feel insecure, and no one raised any objection to the severe punishment suffered by the Xian family.
You don't have a life-or-death relationship with the Xian family, so why would you speak for the murderer?
Just think about it, Xian Baogen killed his wife right after she gave birth to a child, and even faked the death scene. It would be even less burdensome for these neighbors to kill her.
Ordinary people’s lives are also lives. It is better to pay less attention to others and take care of yourself first.
They were just curious about what happened in the Xian family. Grandma Xian, who woke up from her coma, and Grandpa Xian, who was paralyzed on one side of his body, could only face their bleak life alone.
The old couple refused to believe this cruel reality and insisted on going to see their son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
They spent a lot of money to get through the connections, and the family did not have enough liquidity, so they gritted their teeth and simply sold the house in the teachers' family compound of Grandma Xian's primary school.
As for the Xian family’s house in the methane plant’s staff compound?
The moment Xian's father was sentenced, the methane plant quickly issued a notice of dismissal and took back the house. It was impossible to give such good treatment to a criminal.
With the money and savings from selling the house, Grandpa and Grandma Xian only had a quick glimpse of their beloved son and eldest grandson still alive, and were forced to leave without even communicating with them.
The charges against the three members of the Xian family are different from those against ordinary people, as they are afraid of conveying information through micro-expressions or actions.
Letting the family come to see the person is just to make sure that the person is still alive. Don’t worry about anything else. Just wait for the person to be released from prison.
The hasty prison visit ended like this. Grandma Xian pushed Grandpa Xian's wheelchair and left dejectedly.
