Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 489: The jury system

"Oh! It turns out that I can also judge!"

Lu Chapo stood up, she was still thinking about it, she had already figured out how to brag at the booth tomorrow.

It's really a sense of participation!

The butcher said: "You and the old woman are still addicted."

Lu Chapo snorted: "So what, you can control it. I will come to see the case next time. Maybe the little chief judge will let me in to help. Besides, don't you come in too?" Are you done?"

"I thought it was too crowded outside, how comfortable it is to sit here and watch."

......

"I can be regarded as understanding, why is there such a trial."

Qin Zhongshou stood up and hummed softly.

Cao Dongdong hurriedly asked: "What does Uncle Qin say?"

Qin Zhongshou said: "He tried this way to show off."

"Yes yes yes!"

Cao Dongdong nodded again and again, "Zhang San likes to show off. In the whole world, only this yamen can steal this glory from him."

Qin Zhongshou asked: "What is the clever strategy in the Yamen?"

"It's very simple, just pay him and hire him."

"...!"

......

This case has been tried before, and it was also opened for trial, and some people watched the trial, but the reaction of the people is not as good as it is now, and it is controversial, not one-sided.

The change lies in the fact that the imperial court's trial is very considerate of the feelings of the observers, so that the observers are very clear about the ins and outs of the whole case, so that they are immersed in it, so there are such long applause and cheers .

They are no longer spectators, but participants.

......

"It's disgusting... When he was an ear pen in the past, he stole all the limelight. No one noticed the presiding judge, but now that he is the president of the judge, he will steal the limelight even more, but It really makes no sense."

The inspector, Chen Qi, was packing up the text, and when he heard the cheers behind him, he really became more and more angry, and said angrily.

Another prosecutor, Wang Shen, snorted, "Isn't that right? If he and the others felt that the charge of manslaughter was reluctant, he should have said it when we prosecuted it. By saying this in court, it is clear that we The procuratorate is embarrassed."

These inspectors were very upset, and they felt that they had been set aside by Zhang Fei.

Su Zhe glanced at them and said, "Everyone is reasonable. Go and check the regulations of the Public Prosecutor's Law. If there is any violation by the imperial court, we can also sue the imperial court."

"...?"

"Then...that's not necessary."

"The dust has settled on this eucalyptus, so don't make extravagant problems."

......

Su Zhe said: "For our procuratorate, it is not about success or failure, but about fairness."

......

"The head of the court looks young, but he can consider everything thoroughly. It's rare, rare!"

"Yes! What he said just now is exactly what I am worried about. Even if Mrs. Wu and Zhang are justifiable, if she is acquitted, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. As the presiding judge, I should also consider So far the impact of this judgment.”

"Well... this verdict is really convincing."

......

Looking at the group of white-haired old men in front, Zhuo Qun was full of praise for the verdict, and couldn't help saying to Cai Yanqing who was at the side: "Prefect, it seems that what you said in the letter is true, that kid really has a lot of tricks." /

Cai Yanqing nodded with a smile: "Yes! His ultimate goal is to commute the sentence of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhang, but if he directly sentenced him, I'm afraid it will attract criticism, but now, people remember him for his selflessness , fair and strict.”

Zhuo Qun suddenly realized, "That's right, that's right, the procuratorate charged manslaughter, and Lu Chapo and the others thought he was innocent, but in the end he was convicted of manslaughter, which is the most serious crime, but the punishment It should be lighter than the punishment for manslaughter, so that the people outside and the old masters inside are convinced, which really earns people's hearts."

I couldn't help giving Zhang Fei a thumbs up.

In the beginning, the difficulty of this eucalyptus lies in how to judge, and it seems that no judgment is right.

However, after several twists and turns, Zhang Fei's judgment is just right, and not many people question it.

The reason is that Zhang Fei finally gave Wu Zhang an additional sentence, not a reduced sentence.

Cai Yanqing asked again: "What do you think of this method of trial by the public security bureau?"

Zhuo Qun pondered for a while, and said: "As a subordinate, this method is also in line with the law of our ancestors. The procuratorate and the police station perform their own duties. It can avoid its disadvantages. Such a trial requires sufficient evidence and a very fair trial, otherwise, it will be difficult to convict. If you encounter a complicated case, when will it be delayed."

In the past, the magistrate could use various routines to find out the real culprit in trial cases. In this way, the chief judge didn't have many routines to play, and he had to produce enough evidence, which must be more troublesome.

The ancestral method of the Song Dynasty can indeed avoid many problems, but at the same time it will also cause three disasters, and the efficiency is also abysmal.

Inheriting its advantages, it will inevitably inherit its disadvantages.

Cai Yanqing frowned slightly: "But this requires financial support!"

Zhuo Qun said: "It seems that the expenditure of the public security bureau belongs to the local finance, so we are responsible."

Cai Yanqing thought for a while, and said: "We have to talk to them about this at that time, and our Hezhong Mansion has to pay for the Northwest Army's finances."

God is fair, when you think of a more perfect result, then you have to spend more time and money.

......

By the lake.

"Ma'am!"

"Husband...husband!"

Wu Zhang, who had just been released, looked up at Wu Lei who was running towards him, but took back the steps he couldn't take just now.

"Ma'am!"

Wu Lei who ran over took the initiative to take Wu Zhang's hand, choked up and said: "I am sorry for you."

"No, no, yes...I'm sorry for you, I...I shouldn't hide it from you."

Both husband and wife looked at each other full of guilt. They had something to say, but they didn't know how to say it. In the end, they hugged each other and cried.

Actually, the husband and wife are very bitter in their hearts. Wu Lei actually knows his wife's difficulties in his heart, but on the other side is his mother. He can only cry, he can't stand up and say a fair word for his wife.

Wu Zhang also knew Wu Lei's character well, and felt guilty towards Wu Lei in his heart.

......

On the corridor not far away, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhiqian, Gao Wenyin, Xiaotao and the others looked at the crying couple from a distance, and they couldn't help sighing again.

Gao Wenyin sighed quietly: "Although their husband and wife have been reunited, but the family that was originally poor and poor, encountered such a change, I'm afraid it will make things worse."

Speaking, she said to Zhang Fei, "Sanlang, why don't we quietly send some money to them, and help them tide over the current difficulties for the time being."

Zhang Fei frowned slightly, looking a little confused.

If the couple can't get through this difficult time, the publicity effect of the verdict will be greatly reduced, but if you give help, will you give it back in the future?

In today's society, there are many people who are more miserable than them!

"No need!"

Xu Zhiqian said suddenly.

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian in surprise, "Zhiqian, what did you say?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "I said it's not necessary!"

Zhang Fei was surprised: "Why?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "Because someone will give them money at that time."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"It's those country gentry and gentry."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Everyone is aware of the trouble, and most people sympathize with the couple very much. Someone will definitely lend a helping hand to them to gain fame."

Suddenly, a person behind laughed and said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Mrs. Zhang is really smart, and she will never give up to a woman."

Everyone looked back and saw Su Zhe, Cai Jing, Fu Shichun and others walking over.

Xu Zhiqian was also embarrassed, "Mr. Su Xiao is too much, but I have seen many such things before."

Those squires and gentry, why do they maintain their reputation in the local area? Who would have known that Xu Zhiqian helped others in such a sneaky way.

But at this moment, if you go to give a little help to the Wu family, it will spread throughout the city the next day. As long as the squires in Gui Township are not stupid, they will never miss this opportunity.

Xu Zhiqian has been willing to do good deeds since she was a child, she has seen many such things, it is not wisdom, it is pure experience.

When Gao Wenyin saw Su Zhe and the others coming, she tactfully took Xiaotao and the others away.

As for Zhang Fei, he invited them to the side hall.

"Prosecutor Su won't blame me, will he?"

Zhang Fei asked with a smile.

"Where did you start?"

Su Zhe said with a chuckle: "The lawsuit is the responsibility of our procuratorate, and the judgment is the responsibility of your imperial court, but there is no rule that the imperial court must obey the judgment of our procuratorate."

Strictly speaking, Zhang Fei did not join them. The imperial court's acceptance of the prosecution by the procuratorate only means that the crime was accepted at that time. The specific verdict will not be known until after the trial.

Although there is a tacit understanding between the two sides of this case, it is also completely compliant.

It's just that everyone knows that Zhang Fei has already thought about how to judge, otherwise, with his memory, it is impossible to remember those regulations.

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "But other people in the procuratorate may not think so."

Su Che smiled and said nothing.

But he really didn't care, on the contrary, he was very happy, because they are in a relationship of mutual supervision, there is no need to be embarrassed, everyone is fair and fair.

Ye Zuqia was rather dissatisfied: "Teacher, why didn't you ask our opinion before the judgment?"

There are five people sitting on it, but you alone take the limelight, and they have no sense of participation.

Zhang Fei immediately asked: "What do you think?"

Ye Zuqia was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassing smile on his face, "Students mean, such rough work as searching regulations can be left to the students. Anyway, the teacher doesn't like to do such things."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then what regulations will you search for?"

"......!"

"Why are you silent?"

Zhang Fei asked seriously.

"Students don't know."

The four of them lowered their heads at the same time, feeling remorse in their hearts, why are they talking so much.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't say you don't know, in fact, I don't have a correct answer. Even if I find out the truth, I can actually uphold Cai Zhifu's judgment. This is not a wrong judgment. Because it is difficult to verify , What does a person think in his heart? We currently judge Wu Zhang's inner thoughts based on the neighbor's confession, but there is no evidence that can directly prove whether Wu Zhang's heart wants Wu's mother to die or not.

Since no matter what the judgment is, it is not wrong, or it can be said that it is not right. At the same time, this is not a special case, but a widespread problem. What kind of impact will it bring. "

Ye Zuqia and the others nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei asked abruptly: "Then when the question comes, can we think it through?"

Cai Jingdao: "That's why the teacher selected those common people to help the teacher make a judgment."

Zhang Fei nodded, and then said: "I also plan to establish this kind of system to specialize in trying cases that are difficult to judge."

Su Zhe said in surprise: "How can this be done?"
