Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 774 - : The Verdict
Chapter 774: Chapter 774: The Verdict
“Qiao Xiaomai’s blood-letter, the blood fingerprints of the villagers in Anping Village, the three-meter-long white silk – these shocking evidences exemplify the depths of the sins committed by the individual from the Sun Family.”
“The blood and complaints of thousands of people- it’s not a small number. As a king, I should listen to the people’s voice and solve their problems.”
“We cannot deny the Sun Family’s crimes just because the scars on Zhuang Luhe have vanished or because the silver and food they snatched have been used up. Theft is theft, even by a parent, this is inexcusable even in the context of a family dispute.”
“In addition to bandit-like robbery, Qiao Changshun’s amputation, and Zhuang Luhe’s exile are also present.”

“Although the Sun Family are not the direct perpetrators of these two incidents, the root of the tragedy of Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe lies within them.”
“They did not murder with their own hands, but Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe were nearly killed because of them. Even animals do not consume their own offspring, their treatment towards Qiao Changshun, are even worse than that of beasts.”
...
“The Sun Family’s wicked deeds, a severe punishment is necessary to appease the public’s anger.”
“By the Imperial Order, the Sun Family, having completely lost their humaneness, forced their own son to the brink of break-up and death. They should now be sentenced to three years of imprisonment, effective immediately.”
At this point, Emperor Yongan paused and looked at Yang Wenxiao.
Yang Wenxiao gently nodded, this verdict had already been discussed with Emperor Yongan in the beginning.
The Sun Family’s deeds were despicable, but given that she is a mother, death would be too harsh and counterproductive for Qiao Changshun.
The burden of accusing his own mother of capital punishment is too heavy on Qiao Changshun, and it would also impact the policy of governing benevolently with filial piety.
Given the act of birthing and raising him, as long as she is alive, Sun Family would not be executed.
Therefore, a term of imprisonment is enough.
The original plan was to sentence her to ten years, but considering the Sun Family’s age and health, ten years might be too long. Incase she dies in prison, it would still mean death, hence the change to three years.
After spending three years in the big prison, even the most stubborn will be made to toe the line. What the situation would be like when the Sun Family is released, only time will tell.
Emperor Yongan continued, “As for Tong Zhan injuring Sun Junyan, the act can be overlooked in defense of his lady. He just needs to compensate Sun Junyan a hundred taels silver.”
“As for Sun Junyan, the tragedy of Qiao Changshun’s family ultimately lies with him. Learning and studying, in the name of education he drove his own mother to commit such serious crimes, just what has he been studying all along?”
“Possessing extensive knowledge but devoid of morals, with such an attitude towards his own mother, can we expect him to treat others kindly? We, dare not accept such a talent.”
“Though, he did earn the title of the Scholar through his own abilities. Take the test if you will, currently Daqi is not lacking a few hundred kilos of grain.”
Having said this, Emperor Yongan’s gaze swept across the faces of the people below. Seeing Yang Ye smiling faintly, and Yang Wang looking frustrated, he laughed and said, “Regardless of any disagreement, this is the judgment for this case.”
“You can be unsatisfied, you can object, but the final judgment of this case is as stated.”
“Prince Wei, I have a new assignment for you. From today onwards, take this verdict and read it in every Prefecture City and County Town, so that all the people of Daqi are aware of this case and this verdict. Whether it’s the ‘Daqi Law’ or filial piety, ultimately, it’s all for the people to live better.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Ye quickly agreed.
Traveling throughout Daqi, this is a tough job.
But as a member of the Yang Family, protecting the Yang Family’s territory is his responsibility.
