The case goes on:
The son stole Lao Tzu's food, and was sued by Lao Tzu for distribution, and then the son said that he regretted running home to take care of the old father, and the old father also said that his five sons had gone out and had no news, and the two sons died of illness, so this was the only one left, hoping to pardon the son and let him go home and discipline himself.
The county magistrate said that there was no precedent for this, but considering the actual situation, he felt that his son should be allowed to go home to serve his old father.
After looking at several cases, it seems that the Ming and Qing dynasties attached great importance to serving their parents, and even in murder cases, they had to find out whether the parents of the killed person were still there, and whether there were brothers and sisters. #Law# #Share Ancient Calligraphy# #Ancient Calligraphy Sharing# #Share Ancient Calligraphy# #Ancient Calligraphy Sharing# #摘自范仲淹#
