Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 486: Trial (Part 1)

Although the distinguished guests sitting here are very upset about this, especially seeing those three-educated and nine-class people sitting there are very happy, this makes them even more unhappy.

But no one was really angry enough to get up and leave, because most people knew very well in their hearts that there must be a reason for Zhang Fei's arrangement, and it was impossible to make such an arrangement deliberately to anger them.

It's not so boring, at least he's in his twenties.

This is due to the fact that they are not familiar with Zhang Fei. People who are familiar with Zhang Fei may not think so.

As for the people outside the courtyard, they were quite depressed. It turned out that they were really invited to sit in. This...!

The key point is that there are more than a dozen people inside, but it doesn't make the outside more spacious, it's still very crowded!

Or, arrange a few more seats.

There seems to be a lot of space behind!

Dongdongdong!

The gavel sounded again.

In and outside the courtyard immediately fell silent again, but the awe in people's hearts was a little less, as if the young judge was different from most officials.

"Ahem!"

Zhang Fei cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Everyone, what this court is going to hear today is about the murder of Wu Zhang's mother-in-law, Wu Li, by the village woman of Gui."

When he was speaking, he looked down at Wen'an.

Xu Zhiqian glanced at him a little depressed, and sighed secretly, just such an opening sentence, don't you want to write it down.

However, this opening remark really stunned the distinguished guests present.

It's so unique!

You... are you in business?

A product introduction is also required.

Newbie!

Pure newbie!

Cai Jing and the others sitting below bowed their heads.

As soon as these words came out, they all felt much weaker.

Zhang Fei didn't seem to care, so he looked at Su Zhe and said, "Prosecutor Su, the chief judge has read the case file, and there is nothing suspicious about it."

Qin Zhongshou immediately wondered: "There is no doubt, why do you care about him?"

Cao Dongdong who was sitting on the side said: "Uncle Qin, you don't know something, he just asked that on purpose."

Qin Zhongshou asked curiously, "Why?"

Cao Dongdong said: "Of course it's convenient for us to watch the trial, why else, if he doesn't make it clear, then we can't understand it."

"Huh?"

Qin Zhongshou immediately petrified.

Is it that considerate?

Su Zhe stood up and said: "Returning to the chief judge, our procuratorate has sufficient evidence to prove that the only eyewitness in this case did not tell the truth. At the same time, we also found another eyewitness. According to this witness confession, our procuratorate believes that Zhang is not a murder, but a manslaughter.”

"Manslaughter?"

Cai Yanqing frowned secretly, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, either you are innocent, or you get killed by negligence, which is a bit grandstanding.

It was clearly aimed at him.

Many officials thought the same way.

I heard Su Zhe say again: "I implore the judge to allow me to call the witness Li Yan."

"The witness Li Yan!"

Zhang Fei hit the gavel once.

But I saw a royal policeman bring a burly man in his thirties with a beard into the hall, and led him into the witness stand on the right.

"You can sit or stand."

"I can just stand."

After the royal police ordered them, they stepped aside.

In the past few days, Zhang Fei has not been busy with other things, but is teaching these court police the rules of performing official duties in court.

Su Zhe stood up and asked Li Yan, "What is your name, where do you live, and what do you do for a living?"

The distinguished guests sitting here are stupid again.

Just now you mentioned someone's name, so you have to ask again?

Those who haven't read the online article are almost sweating. Are you reviewing the case or performing it!

The experienced Cai Yanqing must be a little ridiculous at this time.

Looking at how polite the other party was, Li Yan wasn't that scared. After all, Su Zhe didn't sit on it. He said, "The little man is called Li Yan. He lives in Pingshui Township. He usually cuts firewood and hunts for a living."

Su Zhe asked: "Is it Pingshui Township across the Guixiang River?"

Li Yan nodded.

Su Zhe continued to ask: "Do you still remember what happened in the early morning of April 16 this year?"

"Of course I remember."

Li Yan said: "That morning I went up to the mountain to hunt early as usual, but after searching for a while, I didn't see any prey. I happened to come to the river, so I planned to go to the river to drink some water, wash my face, and chop off some prey. Chai went back, and suddenly saw a woman on the other side pushing an old woman into the river, I was really scared to death at that time."

Su Zhe asked: "Can you see the other person's face clearly?"

Li Yan shook his head and said: "Then I didn't see it clearly. It was not long before dawn, and I was just on the other side. I only saw the young woman wearing a hemp skirt."

Su Zhe asked again: "Then did you see the old woman's face clearly?"

Li Yan shook his head, "Of course not."

Su Zhe continued to ask: "Then have you seen clearly what kind of clothes the old woman is wearing?"

Li Yan blinked, then shook his head and said, "I didn't see clearly either."

Cai Yanqing and Zhuo Qun looked at each other tacitly.

Zhuo Qun said in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, Li Yan's confession did not mention what kind of clothes the old woman was wearing."

Cai Yanqing asked: "Have any of our people asked?"

Zhuo Qun shook his head in embarrassment.

Su Zhe asked, "Why did you see what clothes the young woman was wearing, but didn't see what clothes the old woman was wearing?"

Li Yan said: "Because when I looked up, I happened to see the young woman pushing the old woman down. It was too fast, and from such a distance, I couldn't see clearly. I can only tell the truth, but I won't lie of."

Su Zhe nodded with a smile, and asked again: "You said you looked up, but were you squatting then?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "I was drinking water by the river, of course I was squatting."

Su Zhe asked again: "Why do you look up to the other side?"

Li Yan grinned and said, "After drinking the water, of course I will raise my head!"

Su Zhe hummed, and then winked at a royal policeman next to him, who immediately stood up, and then Su Zhe said to Li Yan, "Can you demonstrate how that woman will kill the old man?" The woman pushed it down."

As he spoke, he pointed at the royal policeman again and said, "Just treat her as that old woman."

"OK."

Li Yan rushed up and gently pushed the royal policeman, and then said to Su Zhe, "But that woman pushed very hard, I didn't dare to push too hard."

"Understood!"

Su Zhe nodded with a smile, and then nodded to the royal policeman.

The royal policeman just lay down.

Su Zhe said to Li Yan again: "Try to push it in the same way just now."

Li Yan was dumbfounded, "How can I push him lying down?"

Su Zhe asked: "Can't you push it?"

Li Yan shook his head.

Su Zhe said: "That's strange, Mrs. Wu and Li have been paralyzed on the bed for eight years, even if she sits up, she needs someone to support her, and she needs a quilt on her back. How can she stand there and be pushed? "

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, and the audience pointed at Li Yan.

"Silence! Silence!"

Zhang Fei hit the gavel several times.

Cai Yanqing couldn't help frowning, his face showing a bit of embarrassment, thinking, why didn't I notice such a big flaw at the time.

After thinking about it carefully, it was not him who recorded the statement, but the yamen below. Need to ask these details again.

"No, no."

Li Yan immediately waved his hands and said: "I just demonstrated it casually, and I dare not let this elder brother lie down! In fact, I saw the woman dragging the old woman to the river, and then dragged the old woman to the river. Push it into the river."

Su Zhe stretched out his hand again and said: "Then please demonstrate it again seriously."

The people outside the gate were stunned. Is it so gentle?

They have also seen the trial, and the other party has already felt guilty, so at this time, they must give him a gavel, and threaten him with a few words, you...do you know the trial!

Li Yan glanced at Su Zhe guiltily, then stepped forward, hesitated for a while, then squatted down, passed his hands under the armpit of the royal policeman, bent his knees and hugged him and threw him aside.

"Are you sure this time?"

Su Zhe asked.

Li Yan hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Sure."

Su Zhe nodded slightly, then turned his head to Zhang Fei and said, "Mr. Judge, our procuratorate sent people to investigate the eucalyptus discovery site. The river bank where Li Yan is located is low, so he can squat by the river and drink water. The other bank is relatively high and there are weeds standing. We once arranged a person as tall as Zhang to squat by the river, if the person on the other bank was also squatting, it would be impossible to see each other.”

After these words, there are no insiders or outsiders. The expressions outside and inside the court are exactly the same, and they all look at Su Zhe in disbelief.

Ah!

You are too thin!

It really predicted the opponent's various predictions!

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate these young people.

Traditional trials are all about deterrence and intimidation, and the common people know it, but Su Zhe uses absolute evidence to prove that the other party is lying, without even a single word of threat.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Cai Jing and the others couldn't hold back, and the corners of their mouths couldn't stop rising.

A group of people who have never seen the world look down on us.

Really...!

Hehe...!

After a while, there were a few cheers outside the court.

Qin Zhongshou woke up startled, closed his mouth, swallowed, and said to Cao Dongdong: "Dong'er, that kid is really amazing!"

Cao Dongdong said with a look of disdain: "Uncle Qin has never seen a special ear pen for juniors, but he is much better than this Attorney General Su. He has never won our ear pen. Hmph."

Qin Zhongshou hurriedly asked: "Is your ear pen so powerful?"

"My ear pen became the president of this court just because of the lawsuit. Isn't it amazing."

"Really?"

Qin Zhongshou said in surprise.

"It's Zhang San."

Cao Dongdong pointed to Zhang Fei who was sitting high on it.

"...?"

......

"Silence!"

Zhang Fei hit the gavel a few times.

At this time, a prosecutor came forward with a document and handed it to Zhang Fei, "Speak to the judge, this is the evidence we investigated at the place where the case occurred."

After Zhang Fei read it, he turned his head to look at Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, the chief judge reminds you that giving false testimony in the imperial court is an illegal act. If the circumstances are serious, you can be sentenced to one to three years in prison. .”

Li Yan was so frightened that his legs gave way, and he knelt down, "President, please forgive me! Xiaomin didn't lie on purpose, Xiaomin just wanted to claim credit, so he exaggerated."

Zhang Fei said: "You stand up first."

"Yes."

Li Yan hesitated for a while before getting up slowly.

Zhang Fei said again: "The president of the court thinks that you are a first-time offender and did not cause any serious disaster, so I can give you another chance. If you tell the truth, if you lie again, the president will punish you severely. .”

"Yes yes yes!"

Li Yan said with trembling lips: "Actually, I didn't notice the other side at the time, I was just drinking water by the river, when I heard a splash, I looked up and saw a young woman running up Coming here, I almost fell into the river by myself, and after a while, the woman lay on the bank and began to cry."

Zhang Fei asked: "You said you just saw it, did you look up and saw the woman standing on the shore, or did you talk about it for a while?"

Li Yan thought for a while, and said: "I didn't see it at first glance, but in the blink of an eye, I saw that woman running forward."

Zhang Fei nodded and asked again: "Why didn't you tell the truth?"

Li Yan lowered his head and said: "It's because I found that woman alone on the other side, and I thought she must have pushed her down, and...and before I went to the government, I bragged to the villagers, I I can only continue to say this, lest the government suspect me, and... I can still ask the government for credit."

There was a loud scolding at the door.

Sitting on the sidelines, Lu Chapo stomped her feet fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "It's really not a thing."
