At this moment, listening to the victims' families crying in anger, they felt even worse, their faces flushed, and their breathing became heavier.
The more the witness spoke, the more serious Hang Er's crime became.
Hang Lixing's hands and feet were cold. Looking at the cold faces of the adults, his mouth was dry. He quickly distanced himself from the matter: "Second brother, you really disappoint me! I have always advised you to be a good person and not commit crimes, but I didn't expect you to do so many evil things behind my back! It's all because father and I were too busy and didn't discipline you strictly, so you hurt others!"
Hang Lixing bowed and apologized to the families of the victims: "My brother committed a serious crime, and I am heartbroken. Now that he is gone, I, as your elder brother, will do my best to compensate you. After I return, I will also release the slave contracts of the girls so that your families can be reunited..."
They used to be good girls, and only recently signed the contract.
"Sir, my brother is young and ignorant... If you can forgive me, I wonder if you can give him a lighter sentence... I promise that from now on I will strictly discipline him and will never let him do this again!"
Lord Zong's eyes also looked a little solemn.
According to the law, Hang Gengyuan should naturally be sentenced to death.
However, there is also a saying that "a thousand gold coins can buy a life". If the Hang family is willing to pay a high enough fine and compensate the victims with enough money to satisfy them and not pursue the case, the punishment can be slightly reduced.
Of course, even if the punishment is reduced, it is impossible for Hang Er to simply leave this yamen. At the very least, he will be exiled. If he is exiled to a remote place, it will be almost the same as death.
Hang Gengyuan was already in a daze at this time.
Listening to those people talking about his crimes, he felt his vision go dark. It seemed as if a large knife was getting closer and closer to his neck. In a trance, he could even see himself being splattered with blood. With a start, he actually lost control of his bladder and quickly grabbed the corner of his eldest brother's clothes: "Brother, save me! You said it was okay, you said you would definitely protect me! I don't want to die. They are all civilians, their lives are worthless. Why should I sacrifice my life for them...Brother..."
The murderous aura from Hang Gengyuan directly hooked into his heart and made him speak out the most sincere words in his heart.
Master Zong's face turned dark.
I originally thought that since the ancestors of the Hang family had served as prime ministers, I would give the Hang family some face. As long as these victims could be appeased, a sentence of exile would be fine. I didn't expect that this kid would refuse to repent!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hang Lixing had a headache and staggered a little!
"Sir, my brother is ignorant..."
"Enough! Hang Gengyuan murdered two women, Zhao and Sun, and abducted women from decent families. His crimes are obvious. According to Dafeng law, he is sentenced to death by beheading, and the execution will be carried out in three days! I also order the Hang family to release the women's indentures, compensate them with gold and silver, and appease the victims!"
It's autumn now, and it's time to clean out the prisoners.
Recently, the blood on the execution ground has been brushed away layer by layer, with the old going away and the new coming.
Hang Lixing's hands trembled: "Sir——"
However, it was too late.
The other adults all looked very solemn when they heard the result. They had only come today to participate in the case of Hang Er and the academy, but they had never expected that in the end, Hang Er would even lose his life...
It's also sad.
Lord Shi looked at his son, who was the most frightened one, and his hands were shaking.
His son used to be good friends with Hang Er, and he even heard about his son bringing back the girl Hang Er had given him. He had tried to dissuade him at first, but his son was stubborn and the elderly family members spoiled him, so all he could do was to throw the girl away to Wanjun Academy...
Fortunately, this step was taken correctly...
If he is wrong, his son will sooner or later become like Hang Er, committing murder and arson and committing all kinds of evil!
