Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 564: Don’t offend the police outside, don’t offend the judge inside

Published:

Liang Wei got up from the bed before dawn.

“Officer, why are you up?”

The woman next to her was awakened by the sound, she supported her upper body with one arm, rubbed her eyes with the other and asked.

“I have something to do when I go out.”

Liang Wei answered absent-mindedly while putting on his clothes.

The woman blinked and looked out the window, “It’s still not bright.”

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly grabbed Liang Wei’s arm with one hand, “Officer, it’s not bright yet, why are you going out? Didn’t my elder brother tell you to stay at home honestly recently, and don’t go out to cause trouble. “

“What do you know, woman.”

Liang Wei shook his arms slightly, and broke free, “Whoever gets up early to cause trouble, today is Lao Xu and the others are going to be tried by the imperial court, I will go and see, what methods does the royal police have, so that they can hide in the future A little.”

After hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and said: “Then you have to be careful, don’t be impulsive.”

“It’s done! It’s done!”

Liang Wei put on his clothes, washed up, and hurried out the door.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and Liang Wei was about to go to a street stall to have some breakfast, when he heard someone shouting from behind: “Brother Liang.”

Liang Wei looked back and saw that it was Ren Hu, a brother in the camp.

“Brother Liang, do you plan to go to the imperial court to watch the trial when you wake up so early?”

“Yeah.”

Liang Wei nodded and said, “Are you too?”

“Thanks to our family having something to do in the past two days, we didn’t go out to drink with them, otherwise, we would have gone in.”

Ren Hu snorted again: “This police station really turned its face and refused to recognize anyone. It said that it was one with us before, but it ended up arresting everyone. If we knew this, we should have listened. Fan Du is their boss, looking for someone to add chaos to the police station, making them restless.”

Liang Wei sighed: “It’s useless to talk about it now. My brother-in-law has repeatedly told me not to cause trouble, and he won’t be able to save us then. Let’s eat something first, and go over later to see them What is the means, hide a little back.”

“Let’s just go there and eat.”

“There are only a few sheds in the imperial court, and many people will probably go to see it today.”

“It’s very lively there now, I’m not afraid of running out of food.”

A month ago, the government didn’t dare to close the city gate anymore, it has always been open.

When Liang Wei and Ren Hu got out of the city gate, Liang Wei was stunned by the sight in front of him, but he saw that both sides of the road from the city gate to the imperial court were full of stalls, all kinds of breakfast, Fruits and vegetables are dazzling, like a market.

It turned out that since the imperial court won the trust of the people, more and more people went to the imperial court to sue, but this is the only way, and it gradually became lively here, because many neighbors regard this inspection as an entertainment, so Many people came here to set up stalls.

Suddenly heard a knocking sound, Ren Hu searched for the sound, “Huh? Isn’t that Ah Shui?”

Liang Wei turned his head to look, but saw a tall man helping someone build a wooden shed. The two walked over immediately.

“Ah Shui!”

“Brother ei, brother Hu.”

When the man saw the two of them, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and greeted them.

Ren Hu said: “Why are you here?”

Ah Shui said awkwardly: “Actually, I didn’t want to stay in the camp for a long time. This time, the camp just approved the application for discharge, so we applied for discharge by ourselves. We came here to help people build a shed, and we can stay here later.” There is some work in the imperial court.”

“Imperial Court?”

Ren Hu asked: “What job?”

A Shuidao: “It is to build a house.”

Ren Hu and Liang Wei looked at each other, their eyes full of depression.

This Ah Shui used to do odd jobs in the barracks, helping them run errands by the way.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

Out of the barracks, the two of them lived in trepidation, but Ah Shui relied on the skills he practiced in the barracks to live a very comfortable life, picking up jobs everywhere, and his small life was getting better day by day.

I heard an old woman say again: “Hey! Wu Ma, have you finished shopping? Go there early, there are so many people here, it’s hard to grab a seat.”

“Come! Come!”

I also saw an old lady chasing after her with a basket of vegetables. The two old ladies each carried a basket of vegetables and chatted as they walked towards the imperial court. Move over there.

Liang Wei and Ren Hu hurriedly bought some buns and followed them.

Come to the imperial court area along the mainland, but there is a wooden sign standing in front of the road, with two patterns painted on it, one looks like a man and the other looks like a woman.

Under the wooden sign stood a royal court policeman.

“Police, what does this mean?”

“If you come to watch the trial, men go this way, women go this way.”

“Hey! President Zhang is really thoughtful.”

The aunts couldn’t help but rejoice.

In fact, in the Northern Song Dynasty, ethics was more important than filial piety, and men and women were not very strict. The aunts and aunts of ordinary people’s homes didn’t care at all, and they still crowded.

However, in order to get more women to watch the trial, Zhang Fei still designated a special area for women.

Another man said: “But this is not the way to the courtyard!”

“Today is the trial in the civil imperial court on the left, not in the main court.”

Everyone came to the civil imperial court according to their words, and they were overjoyed immediately. It turned out that this civil imperial court was only surrounded by wooden sticks, but there were eaves on it, which meant that three sides could be watched and judged. Rain, you are so considerate.

This is designed by Zhang Fei himself. Needless to say, it is to give the viewers a better experience, because Zhang Fei knows very well in his heart that no matter how capable he is, it will be of no avail if he wants to truly establish a legal system. I have this idea myself.

That’s not to say that people walk away from the Dharma.

But he can’t let everyone study, he can only learn from watching and reviewing.

Although the outside looks crude, the inside is very delicate, made up of many pavilions and corridors.

The time has just arrived, the idol of many middle-aged women, Chief Judge Zhang came to the judge’s platform on time, today he is wearing a brand new off-white official robe.

“Teacher, why are you wearing such an official uniform today?”

Ye Zuqia asked curiously.

Zhang Fei said: “You still have the nerve to ask, this is for you to come to the trial, not my chief judge. If you don’t live up to it, I am not the only one to make changes.”

Ye Zuqia thought to himself, why am I talking so much.

The four of them were silent.

Xu Zhiqian on the side covered her lips and smiled.

Zhang Fei glanced at Wen An, and then shouted: “Cai Jing.”

Cai Jing stood up immediately and said, “Let Sergeant Ma Xiaoyi testify in court.”

But seeing that Ma Xiaoyi came to the court majestically in a brand new uniform, he liked to go to court, it was very good, every time he appeared in court, he was dressed like a dog.

Zhang Fei said: “Today Sergeant Ma is testifying on behalf of the police station.” As he spoke, he pointed to the seat next to him, “Just stand there.”

“Hey!”

Ma Xiaoyi hurriedly went to the best viewing position.

Zhang Fei turned his head to look to the right again, “Hey! Chief Prosecutor Su is here in person.”

You still “yo”? How about a little more solemnity?

Su Zhe nodded and smiled helplessly: “Can’t I come?”

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: “We’re waiting for Xiaoan. Chief Prosecutor Su doesn’t have to come in person, just send someone to supervise. I heard that your procuratorate is also very busy recently.”

Su Zhe smiled and said, “I’m here to learn too.”

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and said to Ma Xiaoyi: “Inspector Ma, you have to behave well, Chief Prosecutor Su is here.”

Ma Xiaoyi said: “Don’t worry, Chief Judge, I will definitely not lose face to the police department.”

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: “It’s okay to lose face, don’t let the procuratorate catch it.”

Xu Zhiqian lightly kicked the leg of his chair with her toes, and said in a low voice, “What nonsense?”

The four little king kong were also looking at him secretly, teacher, although this is not a big deal, but you are too casual.

“Madam has spoken, let’s start.” Zhang Fei said casually: “Call the suspect.”

Cai Jing stood up immediately and said, “The suspects Xu Jingtian, Lu Twelve, Liu Fa, and Zheng Huai will appear in court.”

Xu Zhiqian immediately put a document in front of Zhang Fei.

After a while, four burly men came to the court.

Zhang Fei raised his head and said, “Now the police station is accusing you of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, drinking and repaying your bills, what do you have to say?”

Xu Jingtian immediately said: “President, I am wronged!”

“Stop!”

Zhang Fei said: “Don’t be in a hurry to call for injustice, the chief judge has not sentenced this yet, if you feel it is unfair, point out where it is unfair.”

Xu Jingtian immediately said: “Mr. Zhang, the thing is like this. In the evening of the day before yesterday, our brothers went to the Chen’s tavern for a drink. At that time, everyone was drunk, so we didn’t pay for the drink. In fact, this kind of thing happened before. , usually when we wake up the next day, we will still pay for the drinks. Coincidentally, the bartender is also new here. A few royal policemen came and beat and kicked us, take a look, it was all done by them.”

Speaking, several people began to roll up their sleeves and pants, all kinds of misery, there were indeed many bruises.

These soldiers and ruffians used to have many conflicts with government servants, and all of them are glib.

There are still people behind the key, and at the same time there are female officers in the police station, telling them what to say.

The onlookers immediately began to discuss that the truth of the case had nothing to do with them, but the royal police beat people so badly, which made everyone fearful.

Zhang Fei looked at it intently, and said: “This is really not a light blow.”

Speaking, he looked at Ma Xiaoyi and said, “You can fight alone?”

Ma Xiaoyi said: “I just beat Xu Jingtian, I didn’t beat the others, but with their flamboyant fists and legs, I can beat them too.”

Xu Jingtian was dumbfounded, brother, is this the point?

“Really?”

Zhang Fei smiled and asked: “Then why did you beat them?”

Ma Xiaoyi said: “I saw that Xu Jingtian was grabbing the clothes of a young bartender and was about to hit him, so I stepped forward to stop him.”

“Nonsense.”

Xu Jingtian immediately shouted: “Chairman Zhang, he lied. I grabbed the bartender’s lapel, but it was just to scare me, and I didn’t think about hitting me. But the policeman didn’t stop me at all, but grabbed my wrist. You said you wanted to fight me a few tricks, but if you stop it then, it is clearly a provocation?”

Zhang Fei looked at Ma Xiaoyi and said, “Is what he said true?”

“Yes, I said that.”

Ma Xiaoyi nodded, “At that time, I saw that he was agitated, and the key was to catch the bartender, to keep the bartender safe, so I said that, and hoped that he would let go of the bartender first. But I didn’t expect that, He’d push the bartender away and just attack me.”

After finishing speaking, the little eyes were very sad. In fact, he didn’t think so much at the time, but he also thought about Zhang Fei’s lawsuit every day. The other party might mention this, so he thought about it in advance. , now that the other party really said that, I can’t help being very proud.

Zhang Fei asked Xu Jingtian again: “Did you make the first move?”

Xu Jingtian said: “At that time, I was drinking, and he made a choice. I was impulsive, and I fought with him, but if he came to stop me, I would not fight at all.”

“Really?” Zhang Fei asked, “So you grabbed the bartender by the skirt and raised your fist?”

“?”

Beside him, Zheng Huai suddenly yelled: “Brother Xu had already been beaten on the ground begging for mercy, but this black guy kicked Brother Xu, and he is still limping.”

Zhang Fei looked at Ma Xiaoyi.

Ma Xiaoyi said: “When they were rolling around on the ground playing hooligans, Zhou Jia and I stood aside. Many people saw him. I kicked him and made him squat .”

Xu Jingtian said aggrievedly: “I just stood up, but I didn’t want to go at him.”

Zhang Fei asked: “Then why did you stand up?”

“Huh?”

Xu Jingtian was dumbfounded by the question.

Zhang Fei said: “The royal police are enforcing the law. What you have to do is to cooperate, not to resist. If you are wronged, you can come here and tell me. If they really abuse their power, I will convict them.”

Su Zhe asked suddenly: “When this case happened, there were many witnesses, but if there were no witnesses, the royal police would slander the people for attacking the people first, and then beat the people, or the other way around, the royal police would be falsely accused. How should the court collect evidence?”

Zhang Fei said: “The imperial court only looks at the evidence and does not make hypothetical judgments, so as not to be misunderstood, but in the Royal Police Manual of Conduct, they have the right to protect themselves.

Therefore, I suggest that anyone, whether you are an official or a commoner, must cooperate with the Royal Police. If you have any problems, you can directly sue afterwards, or seek help from the Legal Aid Department.

I cannot ensure that every judgment I make is accurate. We can only do our best and use the regulations to minimize the possibility of the situation that Chief Prosecutor Su mentioned. “

Su Zhe was thoughtful.

Zhang Fei said loudly again: “In this case, it was Xu Jingtian and others who made the first move. Although Sergeant Ma made verbal provocations, no matter whether he was protecting the bartender or not, he was limited to Verbal provocation, and there is a pre-condition, that is, Xu Jingtian grabbed the bartender by the collar. The fact is that Xu Jingtian moved first.

As for the kick that Sergeant Ma kicked Xu Jingtian in the back, it happened after the two sides fought. Every move is a threat to the other party.

Therefore, Sergeant Ma, Zhou Jia and other police officers did not make any mistakes in this case. As for Xu Jingtian and the others? “

Speaking of which, he looked at Xu Jingtian and the others, “According to your confessions just now, it can be seen that you are used to not paying after drinking, but you are not used to explaining to the shopkeeper that you will send money tomorrow, and get the shopkeeper’s permission.” Allowed, as to whether you will send the money for the drink tomorrow, it is not important, nor can it be used as evidence of your exoneration.

The behavior of the bartender is completely legal. According to the law, you should be imprisoned, but since you are the first offender in our imperial court, and you drank alcohol again, the judge will sentence you to seven days of hard labor at his discretion. After you go down, someone will arrange for you. “

“President, we are wronged!”

“They were the ones who beat us, yet your imperial court still shielded these royal policemen.”

“I don’t agree with you, the police, the prosecutors, and the law are working together like women.”

There is someone behind him, and his words are full of confidence!

“Wait!” Zhang Fei hastily called the court police who came forward, and said, “I retract the judgment just now, extend their hard labor to half a month, and fine each person two hundred Wen. Remember, pay for the wine Already.”

In an instant, the whole world fell silent.
