Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 16: Invulnerable

Sima Guangdao: "As for the case of Fang Datian defrauding money through marriage, I also know something about it. It is undeniable that this case would not have happened without Fang Datian, but Fang Datian's fault cannot alleviate Ayun's guilt guilty, because Fang Datian did not instruct Ayun to murder Wei Ada."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "The presiding judge is right, and Xiaomin also agrees, so when Xiaomin appealed for Wei Ada, he did not demand that Fang Datian be held criminally responsible, but demanded compensation from him. Because Fang Datian has no intention of murdering Wei Ada, he just wants to make money. But the whole case stems from this, and only by understanding the reasons behind it can we clearly know what reason Ayun committed the murder."

At this point, Zhang Fei sighed: "I have to say, this is a tragedy in the world! Ayun lost his father in his early years and has always been dependent on his mother. The 20 mu of land under his family has also been handed over to his uncles to take care of them, and they only give them a small amount of food every year.

The food is not enough to feed their mother and daughter. In desperation, Ayun can only take care of his mother at home while doing some needlework to make a living. "

Are you telling a story? Sima Guang immediately interrupted Zhang Fei, "This is not a place to tell stories, and I already know about Ayun's life experience, so you don't need to repeat it here."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "If the chief interrogator really knows about Ayun's background and his motives, he won't think that Ayun has murderous intentions."

Sima Guang immediately said: "A Yun's motive for committing the crime is because he thinks Wei A is ugly. This has already been found out."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "This may be a reason, but it is definitely not the main motivation."

Sima Guang asked: "Then what do you think is the main motive of Ah Yun's murder?"

"Filial piety."

Zhang Fei said: "Xiaomin said everything just now, which is enough to prove that Ayun is a very, very filial daughter. About this point, the government can send people to investigate. Almost everyone in the local area knows this."

Wang Anshi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself, this kid is really amazing.

Sima Guang hesitated for a while, and seemed to have guessed what Zhang Fei was going to say next, and said, "Even if Ah Yun is a filial daughter, this is not the reason for her to commit murder, and it cannot be confused."

"Everyone wants to take the broad road, but there is only a single-plank bridge in front of them. Many things can't just be seen on the surface."

Zhang Fei continued to elaborate: "A year ago, Ayun's mother passed away due to illness, which dealt a great blow to Ayun. Filial piety is enough to move the world.

As we all know, the period of filial piety is generally three years. In our dynasty, the law also clearly stipulates that marriage is not allowed during the filial piety period, which is filial piety. However, under the persecution of Fang Datian, he was forcibly betrothed to Wei Ada, and the key step of accepting the levy has been completed.

My mother's bones are still cold, but she wants to leave her mother and marry someone else. This is unacceptable for a filial daughter. Ayun has always opposed this marriage, but no matter how hard he strives for it, it still ends in vain.

Dare to ask everyone present, in this situation, what can Ayun, a weak woman, do? "

Everyone was silent.

They are not stupid, and now they also understand what Zhang Fei's trump card is.

Sima Guangyi said righteously: "Filial piety is by no means a reason to kill people. Don't confuse the public here. And the prisoner herself is frank. She just thinks that Wei A is ugly and doesn't want to marry, so she was born bad." meaning."

Zhang Fei said: "A Yun's words are not enough to be believed."

Sima Guang laughed angrily, and said: "It's really unreasonable. I don't believe the murderer's confession, so I believe your one-sided words."

Zhang Fei said: "The presiding judge must not forget that I am also one of the parties involved. There is only a river between Fangjia Village and Weijia Village, and it takes less than half an hour to come and go. At that time, Ayun committed the murder on the second watch, but she At dawn, save me."

Sima Guang asked: "What does this mean?"

Zhang Fei said: "This can't help but make people curious. Why did the murderer stay by the river after the murder? Anyone with common sense will hurry home at night and don't let people see themselves.

Besides, Ayun jumped into the river without hesitation and risked his life to save a strange man. I was very embarrassed at the time, so she couldn't be attracted by my handsome appearance. "

"!"

Sima Guang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said: "This is a court, not a theater. If you continue to joke like this, don't blame me for being rude."

The implication is, do you think you are very humorous?

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "The presiding judge clearly learned that Xiaomin was suspected of having an affair with Ah Yun at the beginning, and he sat in jail for three months for no reason. At the same time, the Wei brothers also raised doubts about this. Wei Ada's younger brother Wei Aer thought that Ayun saved me because he saw that I was handsome, so I need to clarify this point."

Sima Guang is also drunk, you can say this justly, and said helplessly: "I believe that Ah Yun saved you not because of your appearance."

Zhang Fei glanced at Sima Guang depressedly, and said: "Then we have to ask, what is the reason that made Ayun sacrifice his life to save others in such a dangerous situation? It was too dangerous, but she did not hesitate to go into the water to save people."

Sima Guang couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Why do you say?"

"Atonement."

Zhang Fei said: "Ayun wanted to make amends, because she cut off Wei Ada's finger at that time, so that she mistakenly thought that she had killed Wei Ada. She was in great pain. In other words, Ayun had no intention of killing people at all, and the reason why she immediately confessed everything to the government and provided testimony against herself was to hope to atone for her sins and pay for her life with her life."

"Nonsense!"

Sima Guang said: "This is just your speculation, you don't have any evidence to prove that Ah Yun has no intention of murder."

Zhang Fei immediately asked back: "Does the presiding judge have any solid evidence to prove that Ayun has murderous intentions? Although she went to cut Wei Ada with a knife, there were more than ten wounds on Wei Ada's body. , none of them hit the vital point, and all of them were minor injuries, which only proves that she has the intention of hurting others, but not of killing.

As for Ayun's confession, this cannot be used as evidence to prove that she has murderous intentions, because if she said that she just went to chop Wei Ada, would the presiding judge believe it? "

Everyone was stunned.

The murderer's confession can't be used as the main evidence?

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be some truth. You can't say that the murderer admits it, but it can be used as conclusive evidence, and if he doesn't admit it, it can't be used as conclusive evidence.

Evidence is objective, not subjective.

Sima Guang said: "But all the evidence proves that Ah Yun intends to murder Wei Ada."

"That's only prima facie evidence."

Zhang Fei retorted: "A normal person must have a good reason to murder a person first. If A Yun really thinks that Wei A is ugly and therefore refuses to marry, this can constitute a murder motive. But the fact Not really."

As he spoke, he took out a confession and said: "This is the confession provided by the Fang family and the villagers of Fangjia Village. This confession fully demonstrates that shortly after the death of Ayun's mother, her uncle and aunt They have hoped to betroth Ayun more than once, but the object at that time was not Wei Ada, but someone else. But Ayun refused all of them, and the reason was to be filial to his mother."

Sima Guang glanced at the officials beside him.

The official immediately brought the confession and presented it to Sima Guang.

After reading it, Sima Guang said, "Even if this confession is true, what does it mean?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is enough to show that Wei A's ugliness is not the main reason for Ayun's murder. If Ayun is just looking at his appearance, why did she refuse before?

Furthermore, when Ah Yun objected to this marriage, he also expressed to his uncle that she was keeping a filial piety for her mother and could not marry, but unfortunately his uncle completely ignored her reasons.

If this one doesn't count, she just wants to keep mourning for her mother for three years, so is it necessary for her to murder Wei Ada? It's not necessary, she just needs to chop Wei Ada to delay the marriage.

Facts also proved that she had no intention of murder. A person who wanted to murder had hacked more than ten times, but none of them hit the vitals, and all of them were minor injuries.

But when she testified, why did she hide that she once thought that her mother was filial and opposed the marriage, but she only mentioned that she thought Weah was ugly, and the reason was that she wanted to atone for her sins, and she thought that she did so, I'm also sorry for her mother.

I have to say, in my opinion, I believe that in the eyes of most people, this is a very stupid and stupid method, but it is also the only way a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl can think of. Her parents are no longer there. , their uncles are greedy for his family's land, and at the same time eager to exchange her for more land.

What else can she do? "

Sima Guang saw that this fellow was so eloquent, and what he said seemed to be true, and he used perfect emotions to make up for the imperfect evidence, so he felt that this fellow should not be fooled, so he said: "Although your explanation is perfect, But this is only limited to your conjecture, what is the truth, Ayun knows better than you. Ayun, who is a woman."

He knew in his heart that this guy was a master at telling stories, and it was difficult to break through from him, so he simply refused to fight him.

Soon, Ah Yun brought it up.

It's okay if you don't bring it up, but this person came up and stood with Wei Ada, which immediately aroused the sympathy of many people.

Damn Fang Datian!

This is too wrong.

Sima Guang was also aware of this, and faintly felt that the situation was getting worse for him, so he asked Ayun: "The criminal, Ayun, can you plead guilty?"

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, he suddenly looked at Zhang Fei. This kid would definitely object again, but Zhang Fei didn't make a sound this time, and stood aside obediently.

A Yun said with a blank face: "The girl pleaded guilty."

Sima Guang said: "What did you want to do when you sneaked into Wei Ada's thatched shed with a knife that night?"

A Yundao: "The girl wants to kill Wei Ada."

Sima Guang was stunned and said, "Why?"

A Yun said: "Because he was born ugly."

Wei Ada looked aggrieved.

He really didn't know why he stood here and was insulted again.

Sima Guang asked again: "But as far as I know, your clan uncle had hoped to marry you out many times, and the person was not Wei Ada, and you refused at that time because of your mother's filial piety." Already."

As soon as Ayun heard that he was keeping filial piety for his mother, tears flowed down his face, he prostrated himself on the ground, and cried, "The daughter of the people is sorry for my mother, the daughter of the people has committed a lot of crimes, and the daughter of the people only wants to die, only to die." /

Sima Guang frowned, and said: "It's life or death, I have my own judgment, you answer my question first."

Ayun cried to himself: "It's the women who did it, it's all the women who did it, and the women only want to die."

Sima Guang was so annoyed when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei again, thinking, he never thought that the old man's first name would be planted on a young boy.

After the argument just now, Sima Guang knew that this kid was not afraid of heaven and earth, so he couldn't frighten him, so he planned to start with Wei Ada and Ayun.

This case is very simple. He believes that if the case is to be reversed, the confession must be retracted. Once the confession is retracted, there will be loopholes, and lies cannot stand torture.

However, the two key witnesses did not tell a single lie, but told the truth.

But combined with Zhang Fei's words, this truth is more beneficial to them.

But Sima Guang knew very well in his heart that Zhang Fei must have ordered Ayun to say this, and he became invulnerable instead.

Sima Guang waved his hand and said, "Take them down first."

If Wei Ada and A Yunguang stand together, it will be extremely misleading.

Zhang Fei is the only one left in the hall.

Sima Guang originally planned to break through in a detour, but how could he know that he had to face Zhang Fei directly and said: "Although the criminal woman deserves sympathy, the law is like a mountain. No matter what you say, her behavior is enough to constitute the crime of murder." /
