When Mrs. Xu saw her sister-in-law looking at her with suspicion, she knew that it was impossible not to tell the truth.
"That woman has only been married for more than a month, and her husband's family are ordinary farmers."
Xu whispered hesitantly.
"What? I knew that he didn't want to learn anything, he only learned this! He deserved to be caught for robbing a civilian woman, and he was sentenced to ten to eight years, which is not much! He really thought that I was like this Is it easy for my aunt to live in the palace? I can make peace with him no matter what trouble he gets into!"
"How do you, a mother-in-law, teach your son to be spoiled? I'm used to being in jail, let's see how you get used to it!"
Wang Bin was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Mrs. Xu and scolding her!
Ms. Xu felt extremely aggrieved. When it came to spoiling her son, the man in front of her could not be more spoiled than her. Otherwise, how could her son have the courage to rob a civilian woman?
He is exactly like his father! If it weren't for that time...
Wang Bin's brother was originally a pig butcher in Liuzi Town, Yuhua County near the capital. He didn't like pretty little girls, but only liked young women who had been married.
Mrs. Xu was hooked up by Wang Concubine’s brother, but Mrs. Xu was not a young woman, but a widow. Less than half a year after her marriage, her husband died.
Wang Concubine’s brother robbed her, but the Xu family gave in and they became husband and wife.
Mrs. Xu gave birth to a son named Wang Gui, who is seventeen years old. Like his father, he only likes young women.
At this time, the Wang family was no longer the butcher in the town before, but the largest wealthy family in Liuzi Town. Even in Yuhua County, everyone had to address themselves as "Master Wang".
Emperor Ningkang did not have the habit of granting great titles to his relatives. Even if the concubines gave birth to princes and princesses, Emperor Ningkang only rewarded them with some financial gifts and did not grant them any official titles.
People in Liuzi Town didn’t know the details. They thought the Wang family were royal relatives and were scared to death of the Wang family.
The family of the young woman who was kidnapped back to her home by Wang Guiqiang, the nephew of the concubine Wang, originally did not dare to file a complaint and planned to bite the bullet and suffer the loss.
Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to get married in the countryside. With the twenty taels of silver that Wang Gui threw to them, they could get a new wife.
But the young woman who was robbed was a fiery person. Not only did she refuse to obey, she also kicked Wang Gui on the lifeblood. Wang Gui was furious and beat the young woman severely. The skin is torn apart.
After the beating, Wang Gui still felt that he was still angry, so he took his servants to beat the young woman's husband severely, beating him half to death.
The young woman’s husband, the only son of the family, was beaten to death. The family sent their son to the hospital for treatment. The doctor said that the injury was too serious and it would be difficult to save him. Even if he spent a lot of money A lot of money was spent to save him, but he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.
The family was filled with grief and anger, and filed a complaint with the Yuhua County government office.
The magistrate of Yuhua County listened toHe said that the person who complained was the nephew of a nobleman in the palace, so he did not want to accept the case. How could he, a small seventh-grade county magistrate, dare to interrogate the relatives of a nobleman in the palace.
The magistrate who originally wanted to fool the past accidentally met Shen Tuiguan of Jingzhao Mansion who came to inspect the prison affairs.
Only then did Wang Concubine’s nephew Wang Gui be imprisoned.
Wang Concubine is noble, but she still loves her nephew, who is the root of their Wang family. If something happens to her, her parents will cry to death.
"You just robbed someone and didn't do anything?"
Wang Bin didn't quite believe her sister-in-law's words. She knew that her nephew was much more ruthless than her brother.
"Uh... I also beat someone... My wife, I just beat someone, no one was killed..."
Mrs. Xu whispered.
When the concubines and concubines were in the palace and learning the rules from the nuns, they also learned a little about the law. She knew that for her nephew's crime, he would not be beheaded, and he could even pay the fine in silver. If he had more fine money, he would be sentenced to a few years less.
"I understand. You go back first and prepare three thousand taels of silver. I will also think of a way to let Guier get a lighter sentence."

Concubine Wang frowned and did not give the order with confidence.
Mrs. Xu didn’t know the situation of the concubine Wang in the palace. In her opinion, the empress in the palace was extremely powerful. As long as she spoke, no official from the previous dynasty would dare not listen. ?
In fact, Concubine Wang had no power at all. If Concubine Wang had not been born in poverty and had no background power, she would have had no chance of giving birth to a child.
Mrs. Xu was originally a country woman. When she entered the palace to ask for an audience, she felt uncomfortable everywhere. As soon as she heard what the empress had said, she quickly got up and left.
Before leaving, I didn’t forget to take a small roll of banknotes and give them to Concubine Wang.
Concubine Wang was quite satisfied when she saw that the banknote was not too small.
Without the emperor's favor, if she didn't have some money, she would be unable to move in the palace.
After Mrs. Xu left, Concubine Wang quickly counted the banknotes.
When she opened the small scroll and looked at the denomination, Wang Concubine’s face turned dark. There were only forty banknotes for each of the twelve taels. Four hundred taels of silver was enough for what!
Wang Concubine did not believe that her brother only gave her four hundred taels of silver. Xu must have embezzled a lot from it.
If it weren’t for the fact that Wang Gui, the son of Xu, was the only male in the Wang family, Wang Concubine would not have wanted to save him.
The Wang family is extremely patriarchal. Even if the Wang concubine enters the palace and the Wang family becomes rich because of their daughters, it does not change the Wang family's views.
Wang Concubine has four nieces, namely Zhaodi, Pandi, Yindi, and Laidi. Together, the four girls are not as important as Wang Gui, her younger brother.
In the lobby of Yuhua County, the magistrate looked at the case with a sad face. The trial was about the case of Wang Guiqiang robbing a civilian woman.
Wang Gui relied on his aunt to be a noble person in the palace and did not take the county magistrate seriously at all. He was extremely arrogant.
Shen Lushuang, who was sitting on the sidelines listening to the trial, looked at the arrogant Wang Gui with cold eyes. Although he said nothing, his face was gloomy and his displeasure was clearly visible to the magistrate.
The magistrate was shocked. Did he know that this young official Shen was the grand-nephew of the Minister of Punishment, the direct disciple of the iron-faced judge of the Punishment Ministry...
Oh my God! How could he have forgotten the iron-faced judge? If this case is not decided in accordance with the law, I am afraid he will not be able to wear the black gauze hat on his head for a few more days!
Maybe he could live in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for a while on the charge of bending the law for personal gain...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so the magistrate gave him a slap in the face to encourage him. He shouted sternly: "Come here, drag the prisoner down and beat him with twenty sticks to kill him!"
Before Wang Gui could react, he was dragged down and beaten hard!
After the screams rang out, the magistrate peeked at Judge Shen and saw that his face was no longer so gloomy. The magistrate had confidence in his heart and knew how to judge this case.
As soon as Mrs. Xu returned home, she immediately collected three thousand taels of silver notes and sent them to the county government.
But as soon as she and her husband arrived at the county government office, they heard that her son's case had been completed.
Wang Gui was sentenced to death by beheading for robbing civilian women and beating civilians until one died and the other was seriously injured. He was only to be executed after a review by the Ministry of Punishment.
Mrs. Xu collapsed on the ground at that time, crying and howling.
It turned out that the husband of the young woman injured by Wang Gui survived less than a day after being sent to the hospital before he died of his injuries.
The original wounding became a killing, and the nature of Wang Gui's crime changed.
The Dachu Law clearly states that if you intentionally injure someone and cause death, you must be beheaded!
