Chapter 363: Dealing with it according to the law
"Severely punish the murderer..."
Hearing this, Tang Bao nodded slightly, and her voice beneath the veil could not be heard emotionally: "Yes, I made a mistake and I do deserve to be punished."
Jiang Lan slowly closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to anyone, and crawled step by step towards the coffin on the far right of the yard.
Lying there was his sister Jiang Qian, who had been humiliated, witnessed her mother killing someone and being arrested, and ultimately hanged herself in fear and self-blame.
Sometimes, death is a relief...
Perhaps if he leaves now, he can still protect his sister on the road to the underworld and no longer let her face everything alone!
Pushing open the coffin lid, Jiang Lan touched his sister's hand, and looking at her fingertips with her nails lifted, he wished he could grind Jiang Xiu into ashes!
He gently rested his forehead against his sister's cold forehead, tears streaming down his face. "Wow... yes, I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you! I'll be there with you right now!"
After a moment, he suddenly stood up, disregarding any etiquette, and stumbled back several feet...
Then he let out a roar that was not like a human voice, and using all his strength, he lowered his head and slammed into the heavy coffin!
"elder brother!"
Jiang Qian's ghost suddenly appeared, letting out an extremely shrill cry.
"younger sister......"
Almost at the same time, a black shadow passed by like a gust of wind, and the secret guard suddenly kicked Jiang Lan on the shoulder, kicking him away.
Jiang Lan fell heavily on the bluestone ground and rolled a long distance. Although he was in great pain all over his body, he managed to save his life.
Jiang Qian knelt beside her brother and stretched out her hand tremblingly... She wanted to touch the wound on his forehead that was bleeding, and wanted to hug him tightly... But she couldn't do it!
She could only weakly hug Jiang Lan, sobbing uncontrollably, "If Brother Lian were to die, who would burn paper money and send winter clothes to Kankan in the future? Doesn't brother want to take care of Kankan anymore?"
Hell is a place teeming with demons and devils. How could it possibly be a good place? It's a million times scarier than the human world...
Her brother is so good and outstanding in this life, why would he give up on himself so easily because of those bad people?
She doesn't want her brother to die...she wants her brother to live well!
She regretted her impulsive act of ending her own life...
Even if...even if my brother really can't survive, he should die in a dignified manner and not commit suicide and add to his sins!
The people kneeling on the ground raised their heads in a huge crowd.
Seeing that the little beast who killed their descendants actually wanted to die and escape punishment, they were so angry that their eyes turned red and their teeth chattered.
You hurt someone and want to end it easily?
Oh, he wants beauty!
This beast should be locked up in the Ministry of Justice prison and tortured. After finding out that there is no one behind this, he should be cut into pieces and executed by slow slicing!
The mothers of the deceased Li Yuexun, Qin Shuo, and Lang Cong exchanged glances and crawled to Tang Bao's feet.
They kowtowed heavily, begging with blood all over their heads, asking Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to seek justice for their dead son and severely punish the murderer!
Tang Bao glanced at them and said calmly, "Since I have intervened in this matter, I will deal with it according to the law and give everyone an explanation."
Upon hearing this, the three mothers couldn't help showing a hint of pride on their faces, and cast resentful glances at Jiang Lan who was lying on the ground.
People who meddle in other people's affairs should die a miserable death and go to hell forever! !
The relatives of the three bullies were secretly proud, but they heard Tang Bao continue to say:
"According to Daliang law, those under the age of twelve, even if they commit a capital crime, will not be given additional punishment and can be redeemed."
"Jiang Lan hasn't even turned twelve yet. He's still a child, so he doesn't need to go to jail or pay for his life. His family can just pay the full fine on his behalf."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Elder Qin was so angry that his blood boiled. He almost lost his life here!
Some people risked their lives to shout, "Killing someone means paying with your life! It's only right! Your Highness, why are you so unfair!?"
"How dare you!" Zhilan and Zhimei stepped forward and said in unison.
Tang Bao raised his hand, signaling them to calm down and not get angry...
"I have always been fair and just, and I have always been clear about what I love and hate!"
Her voice was low, but every word was clear: "Not only are you saying that the law is clearly written here, but you are saying that..."
"When Li Yuexun, Qin Shuo, and Lang Cong killed that student named Wang Mian, didn't they just pay him back and settle the matter? They didn't pay for his life and didn't go to jail, did they?"
"There's a precedent, and I'm following it now. How is that unfair?"
The little guy's eyes were as sharp as a knife as he glanced at everyone coldly.
"But......"
"Shut up!" Zhilan raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "Her Royal Highness makes decisions based on reason, evidence, and precedent. If you dare to accuse Her Royal Highness of being unfair again, it's a false accusation and a violation of your authority. Don't you want to lose your head?!"
"Clang——" The guards around all drew their swords half an inch, the cold light reflected by the lights, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.
Everyone was suddenly speechless, their faces turned pale, and their chests felt so stuffy that they could hardly breathe!
Dead silence.
Eerie silence.
Lord Qin was so angry that he didn't know how many pills he had taken in a short while.
He doted on his only grandson the most. Since he had completely offended the Crown Princess, he only wanted to avenge his grandson at this moment and didn't care about the future of his family at all!
"Your Highness!" He pushed away the person who was pulling him and struggled to get up.
He spoke in a deep, vicissitudes of life voice, filled with indignation: "This old man... agrees with Your Highness's words... The law is nothing more than human feelings, and we should also follow precedents. Then... let the Jiang family's child pay the fine!"
If the Jiang family's son can pay a huge amount of compensation, he can be exempted from punishment, but if he can't pay it... humph, he will have to serve hard labor in a labor camp according to the law!
By that time, the emperor was far away and he had plenty of ways to make Jiang Lan die quietly and as if by accident!
Jiang Lan, who had just given up his suicidal thoughts and straightened his back a little with the comfort of his sister, suddenly slumped his shoulders again when he heard the words, and his face turned as pale as paper.
As early as two days ago, the Jiang family's warehouse was sealed, and not even a copper coin could be used. My grandparents immediately severed all ties with them...
How could a penniless young man like him raise thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver? How could this be any different from a dead end?
But it doesn't matter, he even prepared a coffin for himself...
He slowly raised his head and gave his sister a sad smile. Although he was afraid of the unknown hard labor... he did not regret it.
"Don't worry, Kanan! I promise you, I will never commit suicide again!"
"Brother will always be thinking of you and will never let you suffer in the underworld without food and clothing...
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lan slowly stretched out his hands, put his wrists together, and signaled the guards to put the shackles on him...
