RNP Chapter 314
Chapter 314
The words were even more explosive.
Lu Wen's eyes widened, and cold sweat almost fell on his forehead.
Wu Zhao's face became darker, and a murderous intent permeated around her, and that murderous intent was almost condensed into substance.
"I will personally judge this case!"
"If what you said is true, I will definitely give you justice and severely punish all the people involved. No matter who they are, I will treat them equally!"
Wu Zhao's eyes swept coldly across everyone in the hall.
Lin almost cried with joy when she heard it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"Tell us all your grievances, don't hide anything, I will make the final decision!"
Wu Zhao said.
Lin's face also brightened.
But just as she was about to speak, Censor Huang stood up.
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules!"
Wu Zhao frowned, "Taizu once said that the people can file a complaint with the emperor by holding up the imperial edict and entering the palace, and I will investigate!"
"What is against the rules?"
Censor Huang bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right, but Taizu also ordered that before filing a complaint, the people must be punished with rolling steel needles!"
"Only those who can bear this punishment can prove that they have a great injustice, and can file a complaint and be judged by Your Majesty!"
"Otherwise, they will be beaten with sticks and their nine clans will be executed!"
When they heard about the rolling steel needle punishment, everyone's face changed.
Even Gao Yang frowned and looked at Lin.
This move finally came.
Lin was too inflexible, so this punishment should not have been accepted, but it is a little hard to say now...
People suing officials will be greatly rejected!
Not to mention the entire Dali Temple!
Lin looked calm and took a deep breath, as if he had expected it.
Wu Zetian looked at Lin and the little girl, who were wearing mourning clothes and mourning cloth, and felt sorry for them.
She said, "I have granted your permission, so it is not necessary!"
Censor Huang looked at Lu Wen, and then said loudly, "Your Majesty, no!"
"The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. This mouth must not be opened, otherwise people with grievances in the world will come to the emperor with the imperial edict. Does Your Majesty have to deal with grievances from all over the country every day?"
Yan Zheng also stood up and said in a rigid face, "Your Majesty, the laws of our ancestors cannot be abolished!"
"Not only in Daqian, but even in the seven countries, there are rules. If a citizen sues an official, regardless of right or wrong, he will be beaten with twenty boards first!"
"What's more, this Lin came to the palace to file a complaint, involving the entire Dali Temple! "
Wu Zetian's face was cold, and she said, "I'm going to make a special exception, is this not okay?"
"How can Lin endure the punishment of rolling steel needles when she is so thin?"
Yan Zheng said, "I understand your majesty's compassion for the world, but the laws of our ancestors cannot be abolished!"
"No matter who it is, if you want to file a complaint with the emperor, you should treat them equally and follow the rules of Taizu, otherwise the country will no longer be a country, and the people will no longer be people!"
"Your majesty is the emperor, and you are dealing with the affairs of the world. You can't open your mouth!"
For a while, many imperial censors spoke up, "Your majesty, think twice!"
"The laws of our ancestors cannot be abolished!"
Gao Yang sighed secretly.
According to what he thought, as long as Wu Zetian's sympathy was aroused, the so-called punishment of rolling steel needles would be spared.
But when Lin sued the entire Dali Temple, the resistance changed.
Now it depends on Lin's choice. He has done his best to do this...
It is indeed pitiful that Lin brought his daughter to complain, but when has there been less pitiful people in the world?
With his personality, he has done his best to do this to a stranger.
Wu Zhao frowned.
"Are you using Taizu to pressure me?"
Wu Zhao's face was cold.
"I dare not!"
"I dare not!"
All officials bowed their heads, but no one gave in.
Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were angry, and she was about to speak again.
But the next second, Lin raised her head and a firm voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, since I want to complain for my deceased husband and sue the entire Dali Temple, I am willing to be punished by rolling steel needles, but... I only ask for justice!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole court was shocked.
They looked at the pale and thin Lin, and were shocked.
"Have you thought about it? This rolling steel needle punishment is not something that ordinary people can bear. Even some iron-blooded men can hardly endure the pain!"
Wu Zhao said, her eyes narrowed.
Lin raised her head, revealing a face that was a little tired and dusty because of running around.
But her eyes were still firm.
She said to Wu Zhao, "My family has been poor since I was a child. I have two elder brothers and a younger brother. In order not to be sold to a brothel, I work hard every day and eat only some thin porridge that is so clear that the bottom can be seen."
"But even so, my family still thinks that I am a burden and wants to sell me to a brothel."
"I escaped at night. When I was hungry, I drank river water. When I was thirsty, I ateI ate wild fruits and fled all the way, starving to the point of fainting. But things did not go as I wished, and I was caught by my family and was sold to a brothel. "
"I thought my life was miserable and hopeless, but fortunately I met my husband, who took pity on me and bought me with money."
"These hands, which were originally rough, have been kept clean by my husband. Although the family has thousands of taels of wealth, my husband has never taken a concubine, let alone enjoyed himself in a brothel."
"He regards me and An'an as his life. Every time he returns, he must bring some new food and toys, and never beats or scolds me. "
Speaking of this, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Lin's eyes, and there was a huge hatred in her eyes.
She hated!
She resented!
Love nourished her, but also made her suddenly crazy!
The originally beautiful and happy life was suddenly broken.
Lin's voice rose, her face was full of determination.
"Now that he was killed, I can die and my soul can be destroyed. Even if it is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, I must seek justice for him and make the criminals pay for their crimes!"
"Your Majesty, please give me a steel needle. I want to sue Qin Wenchang and his wife for cruelly killing my husband and robbing him of his money. I want to sue Tian Qing, the chief of the Dali Temple, and the entire Dali Temple for protecting each other! "
As soon as the words fell, they suddenly resounded throughout the Golden Palace like a storm.
Instantly, all officials were shocked.
Even Gao Yang was moved. She thought Lin didn't know, but she underestimated her determination.
She had already thought about the consequences!
Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes fell on Lin's eyes, and she saw only determination.
She took a deep breath, and her phoenix eyes looked coldly at the court officials, and then her voice sounded.
"Come here, give me a steel needle!"
She looked at Lin and said loudly.
"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. You follow the rules of Taizu and enter the palace to file a complaint with the imperial edict. If you want to sue the entire Dali Temple, then I will also follow the rules of Taizu. "
"But I can be sure that if what you said is true, I will give you an explanation, and no one involved will want to escape! "
Instantly, Lu Wen was shocked, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Soon, the black roller was carried to the hall. The diameter was about half a person's width, and its surface was covered with tiny steel needles.
Shangguan Wan'er said reluctantly, "Taizu's move was not to kill people, so the surface of the steel needles was passivated. The person who did it was experienced, but the pain was unbearable for ordinary people!"
"Are you sure you want to continue to sue the Dali Temple?"
If you don't sue the officials, the resistance will be greatly reduced, and you can show mercy outside the law. The officials will not be aggressive. If you continue to insist on justice, you will be punished by rolling steel nails!
