Chapter 87 The emperor should be guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law

"Sir, I still have evidence!" Shen Qingjia said suddenly.

Mr. Yuan sighed in his heart, glanced at the two adults who were watching his trial, and said to Shen Qingjia: "Say it!"

Shen Qingjia turned around and said, "Chu You has locked me in a dungeon in his private house these days. I have left a mark on my plot in this dungeon. Your Excellency will find out when you take someone to investigate."

"Where is this mark?"

"I won't talk about it anymore. Your Excellency has sent a reliable person. I will draw where and where this mark is. I will know if it is there in the Prince of Chu's house."

Shen Qingjia did this to prevent Chu You from destroying the evidence.

Chu You stared at Shen Qingjia coldly, Okay, I'm really fully prepared!

Zhang Tian said from the side: "Your Majesty, what should we do? That house..."

They didn't know where Shen Qingjia marked the mark, so they couldn't destroy the mark in time.

Unless... the house is burned down, they can't go in to investigate.

But this house belongs to the Marquis! The Marquis was usually very protective of him and never let anyone in. This time, the prince took advantage of the fact that the Marquis was not in the capital and got rid of the Marquis's people.

Chu You's face turned dark and he was hesitating in his heart, but he finally closed his eyes: "That's it! Even if I lose, it's just a pass. Could it be that you really kill me?"

That house was the place where his mother had lived before her death, and it held many memories of his childhood, which he couldn't bear to part with.

Even his father would not burn down that house for his son, because in his father's eyes, his mother trumped everything else.

Guo Zhishen has always been a rigid official. This time he was entrusted here by the Wei family, and he did not bend the law for personal gain. He only wanted the truth.

Master Yuan received the paper written by Shen Qingjia, and asked with a serious face: "Shen Qingjia, if I send people to find the mark you mentioned, you will really lose!"

Shen Qingjia nodded: "Yes! If that happens, I'm willing to accept the punishment! I'm just afraid that someone will do something first."

Master Yuan said: "I am the only one here who knows where the mark you mentioned is, how can others do anything about it?"

"But they can burn the house! Once the house is burned, all marks will be gone!"

This is obviously saying that Chu You wants to destroy the evidence.

Master Yuan: "Let's wait until someone comes back!"

The officer who was sent to inspect Chu You's house came back and said to all the adults: "Sir, as Miss Shen said, there are those marks in Prince Chu's house!"

"Chu Shizi, do you recognize it or not?"

Chu You sneered: "What if there are a few marks in my house? How can I prove that you didn't follow me in voluntarily and mark it?"

Chu You continued to sit back on the stool, looking as lazy as possible and too lazy to say anything more!

Guo Zhishen said: "Prince Chu, many evidences have been proven, it's useless if you continue to act like this!"

"Since you think so, then arrest me!"

Chu You didn't care and raised his hand, his face was really provocative!

Guo Zhishen scolded: "Prince Chu, you are contemptuous of the court. It is true that Chu You kidnapped a good girl. According to the law, you will be imprisoned for three years!"

Master Yuan said: "Master Guo, the Crown Prince of Chu is a son of meritorious service in the imperial court. According to the law, he should be punished lightly! Three years is a bit harsh!"

The prince of Chuhou was imprisoned for three years, which was really a bit heavy!

Although Chu You has been acting recklessly all day long and is ignorant and unskilled, he has never heard that Chu Hou wants to depose his son, which shows that Chu Hou still likes this son. Besides, Chu You also has royal blood. Even if he is not afraid of the Chu family, he still has to be afraid. Royal!

The punishment is too severe and will bring disgrace to the royal family. Guo Zhishen was silent. He came from a poor family and had been oppressed by his clan, so he had always been opposed to this law.

Commoners and clans should be treated equally.

Zheng Haide suddenly said: "Although Prince Chu has pleaded guilty, he is the son of a relative of the emperor and a princess, so he should be given a light sentence. Why not change it to three months' imprisonment, and then compensate Shen Qingjia for some financial expenses and give him some comfort."

Master Yuan nodded: "Let's sentence him like this!"

Shen Qingjia frowned and said: "Three years is changed to three months. Isn't this too easy? If Chu Shizi kills someone, does he have to be punished lightly? Why is this law regarded as a decoration for nobles? It's just that Because the law requires lenient punishment for nobles!"

Master Yuan said: "Shen Qingjia, the law is like this. As a commoner, do you still question the law?"

"If there is anything wrong with this law, naturally everyone can question it. If this law only regulates some people, but other people can do whatever they want, then the effectiveness of this law will be greatly weakened, and it will only become more and more unpopular. Many people disobey the law and know the law and break it!"

Guo Zhishen agreed with the woman's statement. In recent years, the nobles' sons knew the law and broke the law. Even if they beat a civilian to death, they would either shut up the civilian and solve the problem, or they would just give him a casual sentence and spend a few days in jail.

Guo Zhishen asked: "Shen Qingjia, what do you think?"

Shen Qingjia boldly spoke out: "I believe that the law should treat everyone equally. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he should be equally guilty as the common people!"

When the girl said this, everyone thought she was crazy!

How dare she drag the emperor in.

Mr. Yuan patted the table and said, "Shen Qingjia, don't talk nonsense!"

"I am not talking nonsense, but the voice of thousands of people. The people have no power in their hands, so they dare not go against the noble family, but they all want fairness, but it is hindered by I am weak and cannot change it, so I just bury this feeling deep in my heart!"

The girl's words are sonorous and powerful, without any hint of timidity.

When everyone looked at her, they felt that she was very bright and dazzling, like a beam of warm light.

Gu Dingzhi looked at the light and suddenly smiled. It was not that he had never seen the power she burst out, but in the past, her power was mostly restrained and rarely exposed.

It's not surprising that she has such power, but what's strange is why she had to hide it in the past and then show it to others with an unpleasant appearance.

The girl's remarks caused some discussion among the people watching, but most of them agreed with her remarks.

"Earlier, Prince Chu broke one of my legs, and I sued him in court, but nothing settled and I had no choice but to admit my fault!"

"My neighbor's home was forcibly demolished by a member of a wealthy family, and his wife was crushed to death. In the end, he only had to pay some money to settle the matter!"

"Hey! How can we commoners defeat the worldly clan? How easy is it to be fair and just? Let's forget it!"

"..."

Relying on their power, the aristocratic family did a lot of things to oppress the people, ranging from the power of the court to the expropriation of land. The people were often dissatisfied, but even if they were dissatisfied, they could only suppress it.

They all thought of the injustices they had experienced or seen, and took this opportunity to express their displeasure.

Master Yuan was a little embarrassed and shouted: "Silence, silence!"

Mr. Zheng only said: "Shen Qingjia, even if you are right, we can't deal with legal matters. We can only judge this matter according to the current laws! Even if you don't accept it, there is nothing we can do!"

Shen Qingjia sighed.

This is the truth, who can let himself be humbled and powerless!

Although she has won now and wants to punish Chu You fairly, she is helpless. The laws of this world are like this and she can't change much.
