Chapter 177 Biting the Ear
Luo Qinghan did not touch the teacup and continued to review the files carefully.
Xiao Xixi had nothing to do and could only watch him work. It was so boring that she picked up a file and wanted to see what was written inside.
Huixiang opened her mouth again, her tone even harsher than before: "This is the file sent by the Ministry of Justice, you can't touch it at will!"
Xiao Xixi looked at the prince and asked eagerly.
"Your Highness, may I have a look?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's up to you."
Xiao Xixi smiled with her eyes curved: "Your Highness is so nice!"
She carefully unfolded the file and found that it was all written in classical Chinese. Unfortunately, as a poor student, she couldn't understand many parts and could only guess the meaning.
Luo Qinghan looked up, saw her face full of bitterness and hatred, and understood.
The scholar prince stretched out his hand: "Show me the file."
Xiao Xixi handed the file to him.
Luo Qinghan quickly read the contents and said calmly, "This records a murder case. The murderer is a woman named Liu Siniang. Her daughter was raped, and Liu Siniang killed the rapist to avenge her daughter. The county government has arrested Liu Siniang, and the evidence is irrefutable. According to the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Liu Siniang should be sentenced to beheading."
The Dasheng Dynasty attached great importance to murder cases. Even if the victims were civilians, the case files had to be submitted to the Ministry of Justice. After the Ministry of Justice made the verdict, it had to be reviewed by the Cabinet and the Emperor.
Xiao Xixi frowned: "Liu Si Niang avenged her daughter for a reason, can't she be given a lighter sentence?"
Luo Qinghan: "The law is merciless."
Xiao Xixi sighed: "If my daughter was bullied, I would also retaliate at all costs."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He said expressionlessly, "As long as I am here, no one dares to bully my daughter."
Xiao Xixi: "But what if? What if there is someone who is not afraid of death and wants to bully your daughter?"
Luo Qinghan said cruelly: "Kill his whole family."
Xiao Xixi: "If you kill someone, you must pay with your life."
Luo Qinghan was silent for a moment, then picked up the brush and crossed out Liu Siniang's sentence, changing it from beheading to becoming a nun and imprisoning her for three years.
He stamped the prince's seal on it, then closed the file, put it aside, and continued to look through other files.
At this time he heard Xiao Liangdi suddenly say.
"That's not right. I was talking about my own daughter just now. How did it become your Highness's daughter?"
Luo Qinghan ignored her.
Fortunately, Xiao Xixi didn't intend to delve into it further. After muttering a few words, she put this little matter behind her and picked up other files to look through.
She racked her brains, guessed and guessed, but couldn't finish reading a file after a long time.
This is the tragedy of poor students!
Luo Qinghan directly took the file from her hand, and translated the contents of the file into vernacular and explained it to her in simple terms.
After he finished reading, he picked up his pen and made some comments at the end of the file.
Xiao Xixi picked up the prince's seal, dipped it in ink and handed it over.
Luo Qinghan did not take it, but pointed to the blank space on the file and motioned her to press it here.
Xiao Xixi pressed the seal down, leaving a small red seal.
After that, every time Luo Qinghan finished reading a file, he would tell her the contents of the file.
Xiao Xixi felt that this was like an ancient version of a storytelling session. Each story was a period of life, which broadened her horizons as a girl who grew up in the mountains.
She listened with great interest.
Every time after listening to a story, she would help stamp the prince's seal.
Occasionally, she would come close to the prince and whisper in his ear.
