Chapter 1425: Release the Person (5)
It must be said, this County Magistrate Li is quite astute.
This casual glance, however, gave him a shock; he certainly knew the man, as it was after taking the Zhao Family’s silver that he had sentenced him. He didn’t expect the man to be acquainted with Prince Three. And who was Prince Three? A War God, one who kills without batting an eyelid. It’s said he has even gone south recently to exterminate bandits...
Therefore, the frightened County Government Official thought the Zhao Family was setting him up. If Prince Three were to investigate, then he...
After touching his head, County Magistrate Li decided to make amends.
But how to make amends?
His advisor gave a suggestion that according to the Daxuan legal code, for those who commit assault without causing death, depending on the severity of the circumstances, they could be sentenced to labor from three months to three years. Considering that Qiu Lei had already been incarcerated for half a year, they could say his behavior has been good and the injured party is not pursuing the matter, allowing for his early release.
"But what about the Tea Mountain?" County Magistrate Li frowned.
"That’s a clear and black-and-white transaction between them..." The advisor spread his hands, "We had no hand in their business dealings."
Hearing this rationale, County Magistrate Li immediately issued the order and declared in front of Yang Ruxin that Qiu Lei could be released.
Qiu Lei was actually wronged; originally, he was just walking along the road when a young girl suddenly ran over and embraced him and then began crying harassment. He didn’t even have a chance to react before others came to strike him. He defended himself on instinct, not expecting to actually injure Young Master Zhao...
Just as Yang Ruxin had finished hearing his story, a Government Official came to release him, which made the corners of her mouth twitch involuntarily. It seemed that the reputation of Prince Three was truly effective.
