Chapter 539: No rush to pronounce the verdict, bring the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, sentenced Leng Xian to death by flaying.
The old Yin was sentenced to death by slicing;
It also sentenced Leng Yixing to exile and lifelong slavery;
Leng Yiyang was sentenced to be expelled from the capital and sold into slavery.
At this point, everyone in and out of the hall was waiting for the prefect to pronounce his verdict on Yin.
However, what was unexpected was that Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong did not play by the rules...
He did not directly pronounce the verdict on Yin, but turned to the people in the Anguo Mansion and bowed, saying, "My Lord, Old Madam, all the Lords, Madams, and Misses, please take a seat first!"
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion looked at Zheng Tong, and they were all puzzled...
what happened?
Shouldn't the verdict be announced all at once?
How come only four of the five beasts in Leng Xian's group were sentenced, while the one who was guilty of a heinous crime, Yin, was left unsentenced?
And he also let his family sit down again...
What is the purpose of this?
However, they were now in the lobby of Shuntian Prefecture, so everything had to be arranged by Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.
The Duke of Anguo and his entourage did not ask any further questions, but just nodded slightly and sat down again with Duke of Anguo Fu Peng.
As the plaintiffs in this case, since they came to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen to lodge their complaint, they naturally trusted Zheng Tong, the chief official of Shuntian Prefecture.
Therefore, they just need to listen to what Zheng Tong will say and do next.
Zheng Tong saw that everyone in the Anguo Mansion sat back in their chairs without any questioning.
Although there was more or less doubt in their eyes, no one asked questions casually, which also showed that they gave him complete trust.
Zheng Tong understood.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is worthy of being the Duke of Anguo's Mansion!
This family is calm and composed, they sit still like a pine tree and keep their composure!
Prefect Zheng Tong picked up the gavel beside him and slammed it down, "Yin, I have just sentenced Leng Xian, old Yin, and your two children.
Do you know why I have not sentenced you, a great evil man, yet?"
At this time, Yin was already disheartened.
Even though she had just heard that Leng Xian and Old Yin were sentenced to death by slicing, Yin was not too upset.
But when she heard the verdict on Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, perhaps a little bit of her motherly instinct still remained...
Yin felt a sharp pain in her heart for just a moment.
But, it was only for a moment, and Yin cruelly let go.
I love and pamper my two children, and I have spent all my energy and effort to plan their future. Now, can't they completely ignore their own suffering mother?
What's more, at this point, as a mother, I can neither protect them nor give them anything.
In particular, now that the verdict has been made, can Zheng Tong still get his children's sentences reduced or resentenced just because of his pleading?
Since you can't do it, there's no point in doing such useless work.
Besides, I'm already in a bad enough state!
I no longer want to make meaningless requests in front of Leng Rongyue and the Anguo family.
Yin hardened her heart and didn't look at Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang who were dumbfounded.
He was even more unwilling to see that useless waste Leng Xian and his cold-blooded aunt.
At this moment, hearing Zheng Tong's question, Yin just raised her head subconsciously, without even looking at the prefect Zheng Tong, and lowered her head again.
Yin thought to himself: Now people are the butchers and I am the meat;
You can judge if you want;
You can sentence whomever you want;
We will judge however you want.
Who knows what you are planning?
At this time, Yin heard the prefect Zheng Tong order the yamen runners in the hall: "Come here, bring the Yin family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and me to the hall!"
Yin heard the order from the prefect Zheng Tong, and asked the yamen runners to bring her mother and sister-in-law to the court...
Yin's heart moved.
Yin then thought that it might be because she had transferred the two shops under Fu Baozhen's name to her mother's family so that she could enjoy the profits.
So, Yin remained silent, still with her head down, kneeling there with her bloody hands stretched out.
When the people in the hall heard the prefect Zheng Tong ordering the bailiffs to bring the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yin family to the court, many of them came to their senses at this time.
"Oh, no wonder...
No wonder at that time, the verdict of the Luo family case had already been made, Yin Baoye and Gao Xiaosi's gang had been dragged away, castrated, and thrown into prison.
At that time, the prefect ordered that the Yin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be temporarily detained in the hall to await trial...
So, it was supposed to stay until now!"
People suddenly realized.
"They should be involved in the poisoning of the late Madam by Marquis Qinxing's Mansion!"
One person nodded and said.
“Yes, that should be the case.
That's why the prefect kept Yin Shi away from sentencing...
Because the Yin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also involved, and they will also be dealt with together!"
Someone else whispered in his companion's ear, "I thought that once the prefect pronounced a verdict on Yin's crime and sentenced her to death by slicing, the lawsuit would be over!
It seems that there is something else going on here!"
“Yeah, I thought so too.
Now it seems that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be involved in the affairs of Marquis Qinxing's Mansion.
That’s why the prefect has kept the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here until now to interrogate and decide their fate!”
When everyone thought of this point, they stretched their necks, pricked up their ears, and turned their attention back to the lobby.
