Chapter 208 Should be punished
"Secondly, I was able to sacrifice my own family for the sake of justice in a critical moment, which shows that I am responsible and fair, and that I can handle the problems of my fellow villagers well and work wholeheartedly for their well-being."
"Finally, I have received a few years of education and understand morality, justice, propriety and wisdom, so I am best able to handle the various conflicts among the villagers."
The city lord smiled faintly and said nothing. Liang Huanxue felt that smiling tiger looked familiar, as he looked very much like her who had lured people into a trap before.
Her little face was scrunched up.
What the city lord wanted was probably for my uncle to express his ideas, and then leave the task of leading the villagers to build the village to my uncle, leaving him with no one to turn to for help and making him admit his mistakes.
Admittedly, the city lord's approach can solve the problem once and for all, but it also means that Liang Yuanwang will temporarily experience imprisonment.
Why bother! Her father has a clear conscience, why should he endure being treated harshly just because of other people's jealousy?
Thinking of this, the old man bowing his head in front of Liang Huanxue was even more disgusting!
"You despicable villain, shameless!"
No matter how she scolds, my uncle won't lose a bit of flesh.
Liang Huanxue frowned.
"I don't know whether Dad would rather suffer some temporary imprisonment in order to be free from punishment once and for all and gain long-term peace, or whether he would rather not rise up in rebellion at the slightest injustice?"
Thinking of this, Liang Huanxue started cursing again.
"Oh my god, why did the gold finger disappear so quickly? I've never seen a heroine or heroine whose gold finger is only available once a season."
No matter how much you curse, it's of no use.
Liang Huanxue could only look towards the court with her dear mother.
As Liang Huanxue's voice pounded into his mind, Liang Yuanwang's brain turned.
Although I don't understand what the two choices my daughter mentioned correspond to, I can roughly guess that if I want to solve the problem once and for all, I can't tell the truth now.
He had originally stood up, but then he knelt down again.
The city lord told him that he had no intention of making excuses. He looked at him in surprise, then he was at ease again.
I can't help thinking that these two brothers really have a tacit understanding.
The city lord, who had completely misunderstood, asked Liang Yuanwang: "Liang Yuanwang, what do you think of this fellow villager's idea?"
Liang Yuanwang tried his best to ignore the girl's gaze and said word by word: "I think that since my cousin wants to be the village chief, let him be the village chief."
The city lord nodded, without mentioning a word about Liang Yuanwang's murder, and easily agreed to his cousin's request.
My uncle didn't expect that the position of village chief would come so easily. He didn't react for a moment and it took him a while to thank me.
After he finished thanking him, the city lord held his forehead and said, "Liang Yuanwang, I will investigate your murder as soon as possible. If you are guilty, I will not tolerate it. If you are not guilty, I will punish the person who framed you."
The cousin straightened his body. He believed that what he said was true. After all, Liang Yuanwang's murder was witnessed by everyone. Would everyone tell lies to protect him?
Facts have proved that everyone told the truth to protect Liang Yuanwang.
After the court session, the city lord sent several people to go door to door to question the villagers who had walked with him at the time. It was confirmed that Liang Yuanwang had indeed committed murder, but the various reasons were moving.
Liang Huanxue didn't know the laws here, but luckily Wei Rou found a lawyer to send to them that day.
The lawyer has learned the whole situation and told Shen Yuefu the worst plan.
"Although Mr. Liang had his reasons, he did commit murder. Even if he is given a light sentence, he will probably spend half a year in jail."
Shen Yuefu was stunned and at a loss.
The lawyer reminded: "But as long as we can grasp a point, a point that is enough to move everyone, we can turn the situation around."
The lawyers here are similar to today's lawyers, but different from lawyers. They can write lawsuits and defend their clients, but they cannot involve other matters, otherwise they will be regarded as disregarding the law.
Therefore, even if the lawyer has an idea, he can only make a vague and confusing answer.
This stumped Shen Yuefu. She came from the countryside and had never been exposed to such things seriously, so how could she possibly come up with an idea?
Liang Huanxue thought much more.
"Ten thousand people express their love!"
Shen Yuefu was stunned. What does it mean to express love to thousands of people?
Thinking about it, she regretted why she didn't learn from her mother.
Liang Huanxue over here was already having a great time.
"Let the villagers who came with me petition for my father's forgiveness. Besides, since this is something that must be experienced during the escape, he will most likely be found to be fine."
She pondered again.
"But 80% is not enough. How can we improve our chances of winning?"
Shen Yuefu smiled. Her daughter was so smart that she could think of this.
Shen Yuefu asked Liang Laosan to take her to buy some gifts and went to everyone's door to beg for favors.
It was actually not a big deal. As soon as she explained her purpose, everyone agreed. Many people even refused to take the gifts and insisted that Shen Yuefu take them back.
The lawyer also wrote a petition, but everyone Shen Yuefu had asked had put their fingerprints on it.
The day of the trial soon arrived, and the city lord was still in charge of the trial.
As soon as he spoke, the uncle immediately shouted: "Lord City Lord, after so many days of investigation, you must have found out whether Liang Yuanwang had committed murder or not. Don't bend the law for personal gain just because you have a good relationship with their family."
While the city lord was investigating, his cousin was also investigating. In addition, the fact that the city lord was on good terms with Liang Laosan had never been hidden, making the investigation even easier.
The city lord was not angry when being investigated privately, and said calmly: "After investigation, it is true that what he said is true."
He turned to Liang Yuanwang and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Liang Yuanwang looked towards the city lord and then told him what had happened at that time.
"My Lord City Lord, it is true that I killed someone, but the deceased was the first to do it. The situation was critical at the time. If I hadn't taken action, my wife and daughter would have died."
"Call the witnesses."
As soon as the city lord opened his mouth, countless people came in.
There were many people but no chaos. They just sent a few people as representatives to repeat the situation at that time. Although the words were different, the meaning was the same.
After four or five people finished speaking, they put their fingerprints on the petition.
"Lord City Lord, this is a petition from all of us. Thanks to Liang Yuanwang along the way, we were able to get out of this predicament and come to Linjiang City. He killed people to protect his wife and daughter, so he is innocent."
"Liang Yuanwang is innocent."
Shouts of "not guilty" echoed in the court.
Suddenly, someone pointed at my uncle and said in a stern voice: "This person is the one who can't tell the difference between gratitude and resentment, repays kindness with hatred, and sincerely slanders good people. He should be punished."
Immediately following, the four words "should be punished" were repeated.
In such a short period of time, Liang Yuanwang had already finished reading the petition. Every word in the petition was heartbreaking, and they were all pleading for Liang Yuanwang, asking the Lord of Heaven to rule that Liang Yuanwang was not guilty.
Even the locals of Linjiang City, after watching for a long time, understood the cause and effect and began to speak up for Liang Yuanwang.
The situation became clear, and Liang Huanxue's heart sank back into her stomach. She glanced at her cousin in front of her with a look of disgust on her face.
"What a pity! Even if Dad is found not guilty, this old Deng will not be punished."
However, punishment is not just legal.
Everyone pleaded for Liang Yuanwang, from the common people who came with him, to the men who were rescued, to the locals of Linjiang City. This case could be sentenced without any objection.
