Sima Guangdao: "I also know something about Fang Datian's case of defrauding money through marriage. It is undeniable that this case would not have happened without Fang Datian. However, Fang Datian's fault cannot alleviate Ayun's crime.
Because Fang Datian did not instruct Ayun to murder Wei Ada."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "What the presiding officer said is true, and Xiaomin agrees with it. Therefore, when Xiaomin appealed for Wei Ada, he did not ask Fang Datian to bear criminal responsibility, but asked him for compensation, because Fang Datian
He had no intention of murdering Wei Ada, he just wanted to make money. But the whole case stemmed from this. Only by understanding the reasons behind it can we clearly know the reason why Ayun committed the murder."
At this point, Zhang Fei sighed: "I have to say, this is a human tragedy! Ayun lost his father in his early years and has always been dependent on his mother. Since his mother has been ill in bed all year round, the two children left behind by his father
The ten acres of land have always been managed by his uncles, and only a small amount of food is given to their mother and daughter every year.
This food was not enough to feed their mother and daughter. In desperation, Ayun could only take care of her mother at home and do some needlework to make a living."
Are you telling a story? Sima Guang immediately interrupted Zhang Fei, "This is not the 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 presiding officer really knew A-yun's life experience and really knew A-yun's motives, he would not think that A-yun had murderous intentions."
Sima Guang immediately said: "A Yun's motive for committing the crime was because he thought Wei A was ugly. This has already been found out."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "This may be a reason, but it is by no means the main motive."
Sima Guang asked: "Then what do you think is the main motive for Ayun's murder?"
"Filial piety."
Zhang Fei said: "Everything Xiaomin just said is enough to prove that Ayun is a very, very filial daughter. Regarding this, 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 secretly thought, this guy is really awesome.
Sima Guang hesitated a little, and seemed to have guessed what Zhang Fei was going to say next, and said: "Even if Ayun is a filial daughter, this is not the reason for her murder and cannot be confused."
"Everyone wants to take the broad road, but unfortunately there is only a single-plank bridge in front of them. Many things cannot be just taken at face value."
Zhang Fei continued to elaborate: "A year ago, Ayun's mother passed away due to illness, which was a huge blow to Ayun. Within this year, Ayun has been observing filial piety for his mother at home, and his filial piety is enough to move him.
Heaven and earth.
As we all know, the period of observing filial piety is generally three years. The law of our dynasty also clearly stipulates that no marriage is allowed during the period of observing filial piety. This is filial piety. However, under the pressure of Fang Datian, he was forcibly betrothed to Wei Ada, and
The key step of recruiting has been completed.
Her mother's body is still cold, but she wants to leave her mother and marry someone else. This is something that a filial daughter cannot accept. Ayun has always been opposed to this marriage, but no matter how hard she tries, it still ends in vain.
I dare to ask everyone present, in this situation, what can Ayun, a weak woman, do?"
Everyone responded in silence.
They are not stupid, and now they understand what Zhang Fei’s trump card is.
Sima Guangyi said righteously: "Filial piety is by no means a reason for killing. Don't try to confuse things here. Moreover, the convict woman herself was honest. She just thought Wei A was ugly and didn't want to marry, so she was malicious." Zhang Fei said: "Ayun's words cannot be trusted."
Sima Guang laughed angrily and said: "It's really unreasonable. I don't believe the murderer's confession. How can 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 go back and forth. At that time, Ayun committed the murder at the second watch, but she did it at dawn
When the time comes, rescue me."
Sima Guang asked: "What does this mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "This makes people wonder why the murderer stayed by the river after committing the crime. Anyone with common sense would go home quickly at night and not let anyone see him.
Moreover, Ayun jumped into the river without hesitation and risked her life to save a strange man. I was very embarrassed at the time, so she could not have been attracted by my handsome appearance."
"...!"
Sima Guang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, 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 seriously: "The presiding judge Mingjian, Xiaomin was suspected of having an affair with Ayun, and he was imprisoned for three months for no reason. At the same time, the Wei brothers also raised doubts about this, and Wei Ada
My brother Wei A'er thought that Ayun saved me because he saw that I was handsome, so I need to clarify this point."
Sima Guang was also drunk. You can say this righteously, but he said helplessly: "I believe Ayun 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 that dangerous situation? Although Ayun is kind, this is really too much.
It was dangerous, but she jumped into the water to save people without hesitation."
Sima Guang couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Why do you think it is?"
"Atonement."
Zhang Fei said: "Ayun wanted to atone for her sins because she cut off Wei Ada's finger and mistakenly thought she had killed Wei Ada. She was in pain. The reason why she stayed by the river was because she wanted to die to apologize.
In other words, Ayun had no intention of killing anyone at all, and the reason why she immediately confessed everything to the government and provided testimony against herself was in the hope of atonement and a life for a life."
"What nonsense!"
Sima Guang said: "These are just your speculations. You don't have any evidence to prove that Ayun has no intention of murder."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhang Fei immediately asked: "Does the presiding judge have conclusive evidence to prove that Ayun had murderous intentions? Although she brought a knife to chop Wei Ada, there were not a single wound on Wei Ada's body.
The execution was fatal, and all of them were minor injuries. This only proves that she had the intention to hurt others, but not to kill.
As for Ayun's confession, it cannot be used as evidence to prove that she has murderous intentions, because if she said that she only went to chop Wei Ada, would the presiding judge believe it?"
Everyone was shocked.
The murderer’s confession cannot be used as the main evidence?
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be some truth. You cannot say that if the murderer admits it, it can be used as conclusive evidence, and if he does not admit it, it cannot be used as conclusive evidence.
Evidence is objective, not subjective.
Sima Guang said: "But all the evidence proves that Ayun intended to murder Wei Ada."
"That's just superficial evidence."
Zhang Fei retorted: "For a normal person to murder someone, he must first have a sufficient reason. If Ayun really thought Weia was ugly and therefore refused to marry, this could constitute a motive for the murder. But this is not the case.
”
As he spoke, he took out a confession and said: "This is the confession provided by the entire Fang family and the villagers of Fangjia Village. This confession fully illustrates that not long after Ayun's mother passed away, her uncles and aunts had
More than once, I wanted to marry Ayun, but the person at that time was not Wei Ada, but someone else. But Ayun refused them all because he wanted to be filial to his mother."
Sima Guang glanced at the officials on the side.
The official immediately brought the confession and presented it to Sima Guang.
After Sima Guang read it, he said: "Even if this confession is true, what does it mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "This is enough to show that Wei A's ugly appearance is not the main reason for Ayun's murder. If Ayun was just looking at appearance, why did she refuse before?
Moreover, when Ayun objected to this marriage, she also expressed to her clan uncle that she was observing filial piety for her mother and could not get married, but unfortunately, his clan uncle completely ignored her reasons.
If this item does not count, and she just wants to observe mourning for her mother for three years, is it necessary for her to murder Wei Ada? No need, she only needs to chop Wei Ada to delay the marriage.
Facts have also proved that she had no intention of murder. A person who wanted to murder stabbed more than ten times, but none of them hit the vital point, and all of them were minor injuries.
But when she was making a confession, why did she hide that she had objected to the marriage because her mother was a filial piety? She just said that she thought Weah was ugly, and the reason was that she wanted to atone for her sins, and she thought that by doing so, she would not be sorry for her.
’s mother.
I have to say that in my opinion, and I believe in the opinion of most people, this is a very stupid and stupid method, but it is also the only method that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl can think of. Her parents are no longer here, and her family members
The uncles are greedy for his family's land, and at the same time they are eager to exchange her for more land.
Besides, what else can she do?"
Sima Guang saw that this guy was very eloquent and spoke as if he was telling the truth, using perfect emotions to make up for imperfect evidence. He felt that he could not let this guy continue to fool him, so he said: "Although your explanation is perfect, it is also
It’s just your speculation. Ayun knows the truth better than you. The convict Ayun.”
He knew in his heart that this guy was a master storyteller and it would be difficult to break through from him, so he simply refused to fight with him.
Soon, Ayun brought him up.
It would have been better not to bring him along. This man came up and stood with Wei Ada, which immediately aroused the sympathy of many people.
Fang Datian deserves to die!
This is too unfair.
Sima Guang also realized this, and felt that the situation was getting worse for him, so he asked Ayun: "Ayun, the guilty woman, can you plead guilty?"
But as soon as the words came out, he suddenly looked at Zhang Fei. This kid must have objected again, but Zhang Fei didn't say anything this time and stood aside obediently.
Ayun said expressionlessly: "The civilian girl pleads guilty."
Sima Guang said: "What did you want to do when you sneaked into Wei Ada's hut with a knife that night?"
Ayun said: "The folk girl wants to kill Wei Ada."
Sima Guang was startled and said: "Why?"
Ayun said: "Because he was born ugly."
Wei Ada looked aggrieved.
He really didn't know why he had to stand here and be insulted again.
Sima Guang asked again: "But as far as I know, your clan uncle has wanted to marry you many times, and the person was not Wei Ada, and you refused at that time because of your filial piety to your mother." As soon as Ayun heard that she was observing filial piety for her mother, she immediately burst into tears. She knelt on the ground and cried, "The daughter of the people is sorry for my mother. The daughter of the people has sinned so much. The daughter of the people only wants one death. She only wants one death."
Sima Guang frowned and said: "Whether it's life or death, I will make my own decision. You answer my question first."
Ayunwuzi cried and said: "It was the women of the people who did it, it was the women of the people who did it. The women of the people only wanted to die."
Sima Guang was very angry when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei again and thought to himself, he never expected that my great reputation would fall on a young boy.
After the argument just now, Sima Guang knew that this boy was not afraid of heaven or earth and could not scare him, so he planned to start with Wei Ada and Ayun.
The case is very simple. He believes that if the case is to be reversed, the confession must be reversed. Once the confession is reversed, loopholes will inevitably appear, and lies cannot withstand torture.
However, the two key witnesses refused to tell a lie and told the truth.
But combined with what Zhang Fei said, this truth is more beneficial to them.
But Sima Guang also knew very well that Zhang Fei must have instigated Ayun to say this, and by saying this, he became invulnerable.
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 roundabout way, but he didn't know that he would have to face Zhang Fei directly and said: "Although the convict woman deserves sympathy, the law is like a mountain. No matter what, her behavior is enough to constitute the crime of murder."
