When the criminal officer heard this, he also felt reasonable, and secretly thought about it, it was better not to break it up.Seeing this, Lan Xinsheng asked loudly: "Please make a clear decision.
You must return Mi Rong to me, otherwise who will be willing to serve the country in the future, and who will take our imperial soldiers seriously!
”The defendant Qiu Zhengbin also kowtowed: "My lord makes a clear decision, this matter must not be done!"
”The criminal officer looked at the plaintiff and then at the defendant, who said it was reasonable, and who should be sentenced to it, he was really in a dilemma, and after hesitating for a long time, he had no choice but to say: "This case will not be judged by the judge today.
Make another decision.Retirement. ”The criminal officer pondered about this case for several days, but did not come up with a way to deal with it properly, and finally had to ask his boss for help, and submitted the case file to his boss Di Renjie, so that Di Renjie could come and close the case in order to seek justice.Di Renjie is a serious, meticulous, loyal and upright person.He has solved many cases.
Each of them was praised by the people and had a reputation throughout the British Empire.But when he looked at the file of this case, he also felt that it was very tricky and difficult to deal with, this Lan Xinsheng was an imperial soldier, and the imperial law clearly protected military marriage, but the defendant in this case, Qiu Zhengbin, did not intend to violate the military marriage regulations, he was not so bold as a small businessman, this is not left, and it is not right, which makes the vice minister of the empire, the top leader of the judicial department, Di Renjie, the secretary of Dali Temple, fall into deep distress.That's right, in the British Empire ruled by Li Lu, the military was a very noble and sacred profession, and even their marriages were protected by the law, and the first paragraph of Article 31, Paragraph 6 of the Civil Code of the British Empire, compiled by Li Lu and jurists, was the crime of sabotaging military marriages, and the law clearly stipulated that anyone who cohabited or married a soldier who knew that he was the spouse of an active soldier would be sentenced to death.Whoever takes advantage of his authority or subordination to commit adultery with the wife of an imperial soldier by coercion, or seduces the husband of a soldier, shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article 236 of the Criminal Law (Strong. adultery) conviction and punishment.The reason why Li Lu promulgated such a law is to provide a stable rear for those soldiers who work hard for themselves, so that they will not be born and die on the front line, but the rear will drag them back, and Lan Xinsheng's case is special in that the defendant did not intend to violate the military marriage regulations, if it is not handled well, then the consequences Di Renjie can't imagine it........
Di Renjie was also stumped by this case, after thinking for a while, he decided to stab this case into the sky and let Li Lu, the supreme ruler of the empire, decide to adjudicate the case.After Li Lu listened to Di Renjie's report and reviewed the file of the case, the well-informed Li Lu was also stumped by the case, but Li Lu is Li Lu, after a little thought, he decided to make a private interview, to investigate the case in depth and detail, find out the ins and outs of the case, and make a decision; Second, let's listen to the opinions of the people and see what they think about this case.Thinking of this, Li Lu's tightly knit brows relaxed, and he immediately disguised himself and led a few guards to go deep into the people for a private visit.Li Lu came to Lan Xinsheng's village, met an old man, chatted first, and quickly cut to the chase and asked the old man for advice.The old man said: "In my opinion, Mi Rong should be cut off to her ex-husband Lan Xinsheng."
If not, who would want to enlist in the army in the future to defend their homeland and country?
If Lan Xinsheng loses the lawsuit, then who still looks at the imperial soldiers, and the military marriage regulations are still useless?
Besides, Qiu Zhengbin is young and handsome, his family is rich and rich, why is it difficult to give up Mi Rong and marry another room?
But Lan Xinsheng can't do it, his family is poor, and it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law.If the government doesn't cut off Mi Rong to him, it will be hard for him, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a daughter-in-law in this life, and I will have to be a bachelor for the rest of my life. ”After Li Lu heard this, he nodded, and then asked the other people, most of them sympathized with Lan Xinsheng and said that Mi Rong should be cut off to him, and at this time Li Lu already had a spectrum in his heart.After returning home, he thought about it and finally came up with a more appropriate way to deal with it in order to conform to public opinion and establish military prestige.A few days later, Li Lu's reliance reached Atami, and he issued a decree in the name of the Supreme Commander of the Empire, the Supreme Commander of the British Army, and the judicial adjudicator to retry the case.The plaintiff, the defendant and Mi Rong all went to the Yamen to hear the verdict.When the people heard that His Majesty the Emperor had personally decided the case, they also flocked to the front of the hall to watch, and the yamen of the criminal officer of Atami was surrounded by water.At the beginning of the trial, Li Lu ordered the officials to bring three futons and put them in the front, middle, and back of the hall.Then let Qiu Zhengbin kneel on the front futon, Mi Rong kneel in the middle, and Lan Xinsheng kneel on the last futon, and then began to ask questions.First of all, the plaintiff and the defendant both gave some reasons, and Li Lu nodded after hearing it and said, "The two of you have their own reasons, which makes me in a dilemma and difficult to decide.As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet.It's better to let Mi Rong speak, respect her wishes, who she is willing to follow, I will cut Mi Rong off, do you have any opinions?
”The plaintiff and the defendant saw that the verdict was reasonable, and both nodded in agreement.Li Lu asked Mi Rong again: "Mi Rong, I ask you, are you willing to follow your husband in front or your husband in the back?"
”Mi Rong thought about it and felt that the Lan family was not as rich as the Qiu family, so she went to the Lan family to suffer poverty and enjoy happiness in the Qiu family.Lan Xinsheng looks rough and mediocre, not as handsome as Qiu Zhengbin, and he has also been intimate with Qiu Zhengbin during this period of time and has feelings.She looked at Qiu Zhengbin, who was kneeling in front of her, and replied shyly: "Your Majesty, the people are willing to follow the husband in front." ”Li Lu immediately pronounced the verdict: "Okay, the plaintiff and the defendant, listen to my verdict: Since Mi Rong is willing to follow her husband in front, then I will cut off Mi Rong to her husband Lan Xinsheng in front of her, as for you Qiu Zhengbin, although you are also married to Ming Media, but Lan Xinsheng is an imperial soldier, he did not sacrifice, so the military marriage still exists, but because you don't know, I forgive you for your innocence, but your marriage with Mi Rong is an invalid marriage, do you understand?"
”Qiu Zhengbin listened to Li Lu's decision, he could only bow his head and admit it, this is also a helpless thing, destroying the military marriage is to kill the head, now that His Majesty the Emperor has forgiven his sins, where do you dare to ask for more?
As for Lan Xinsheng, he is naturally happy, His Majesty the Emperor is His Majesty the Emperor, and this ruling is fair.When the people outside the official office heard this, they all applauded one by one, praising their emperor's judgment for being reasonable, taking into account the interests of the country and conforming to the will of the people, which convinced both the Lan and Qiu families.Only Mi Rong secretly complained, intending to distinguish, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that His Majesty the Emperor had already made up his mind, and he just wanted to convince the Qiu family through his own mouth, no matter how he answered, he would judge himself to Lan Xinsheng.said "the husband in front", isn't Lan Xinsheng his earlier husband?
But if you answer that you are willing to follow the "husband in the back", it is also Lan Xinsheng who kneels on the futon behind.It seems that this is the will of God, and he can only obediently live with Lan Xinsheng for the rest of his life.Just as Mi Rong was muttering in her heart, Li Lu spoke, "Mi Rong, I know that you are a little unwilling, but I want to tell you that Lan Xinsheng is an imperial officer and a person of mine.........
If you don't want to return to Lan Xinsheng's side, then it's okay, as long as you sit on three years of hard labor......." "........."
Mi Rong heard this, where did she dare to say that she was unwilling, besides, she listened carefully, Lan Xinsheng is an active military officer, a person of His Majesty, and her future is much better than Qiu Zhengbin's, and she is naturally willing now......
