Lu Chapo stood up, still unfinished, she had already thought about how to brag at the stall tomorrow.
It’s really a full sense of participation!
The butcher said: "You and the old lady are still addicted."
Lu Chapo hummed: "So what, are you in charge? I will come to see the next trial, maybe the little president will let me come in to help. Besides, didn't you come in too?"
"
"I thought it was too crowded outside. It's so comfortable to sit here."
...
"I finally understand why there is such a trial."
Qin Zhongshou stood up and hummed softly.
Cao Dongdong asked hurriedly: "How can Uncle Qin say this?"
Qin Zhongshou said: "Isn't he just trying to make a show of himself by interrogating me like this?"
"Yeah!"
Cao Dongdong nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "Zhang San loves to be in the limelight. In the whole world, only this office can steal this limelight from him."
Qin Zhongshou asked: "What's the clever plan in the yamen?"
"The answer is simple, just pay him to hire him."
"...!"
...
This case has been tried before, and it was also tried in court, and there were people watching the trial, but the people's reaction was not as good as it is now, and it was controversial, not one-sided.
The change is that the trial in the imperial court is very considerate of the feelings of the spectators, making the spectators very clear about the ins and outs of the entire case, so that they are immersed in it, which is why there is such long-lasting applause and cheers.
They are no longer spectators, but participants.
...
"It's really disgusting... When he was the judge, he stole all the limelight. No one noticed the presiding judge. But now that he is the president of the court, he wants to steal the limelight. It's really unreasonable.
"
The prosecutor, Chen Qi, was packing up the papers, and when she heard the cheers from behind, she became more and more angry as she thought about it, and said angrily.
Another prosecutor, Wang Shen, snorted: "Isn't that right? If he and others felt that the charge of manslaughter was too weak, he should have said it when we prosecuted him. If he said this in court, it would clearly embarrass our procuratorate.
"
These prosecutors were all very unhappy, and they felt that they had been tricked by Zhang Fei.
Su Zhe glanced at them and said, "Everyone's words make sense. Go and check the provisions of the Public Procuratorate and Procuratorate Law. If there is any violation of regulations by the imperial court, we can also sue the imperial court."
"...?"
"Then...that's not necessary."
"The dust has settled on this matter, so don't add any more extraneous things."
...
Su Zhe said: "For our procuratorate, it is not about success or failure, but about justice."
...
"The president of the court may seem young, but he can consider everything he wants. It's rare, it's rare!"
"Yes! What he just said is exactly what I am worried about. Even if Mrs. Wu Zhang has extenuating circumstances, if she is found not guilty, I am afraid there will be endless troubles. As the presiding judge, I should also consider this.
The impact of the verdict.”
"Well...this verdict is really convincing."
...
Zhuo Qun looked at the group of white-haired old men in front of him and was full of praise for the verdict. He couldn't help but said to Cai Yanqing who was standing aside: "Prefect, it seems that what is said in the letter is true. That boy is really capable."
Cai Yanqing smiled and nodded: "Yes! His ultimate goal is to commute Wu Zhang's sentence, but if he decides directly, I'm afraid it will attract criticism. But now, people remember him for his selflessness, fairness and strictness.
.”
Zhuo Qun suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, the prosecutor's office charged him with manslaughter, and Lu Chapo and others thought he was innocent, but in the end he was convicted of manslaughter. This charge was the most serious, but the punishment was even lighter.
The punishment for manslaughter caused both the common people outside and the old masters inside to be convinced, which really won the hearts of the people."
I couldn't help but give Zhang Fei a thumbs up in my heart.
The difficulty with this eucalyptus at first was how to judge it. It seemed that no matter how you judged it, it was wrong.
But after several twists and turns, Zhang Fei's verdict was just right, and not many people questioned it.
The reason is that Zhang Fei ultimately increased Wu Zhang's sentence instead of reducing it.
Cai Yanqing asked again: "What do you think of the trial method of the public prosecutor and the court?"
Zhuo Qun pondered for a while and said: "As a lower official, this method is in line with the laws of our ancestors. The procuratorate and the police station each perform their own duties, which can indeed better prevent unjust, false, and wrongful convictions, but it cannot avoid them.
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, how long will it take?"
In the past, the prefect could use various tricks to find out the real culprit during the trial. In this way, the president of the court did not have many tricks to play. He had to produce enough evidence, which was bound to be more troublesome.
The ancestral method of the Song Dynasty can indeed avoid many problems, but at the same time it can also breed disasters of three redundancies, and its efficiency is also abysmal.
If you inherit its advantages, you will inevitably inherit its shortcomings as well.
Cai Yanqing frowned slightly and said, "But this requires financial support!"
Zhuo Qun said: "It seems that the expenditures of the public security organs and law enforcement agencies belong to the local finance, so we are not responsible for it."
Cai Yanqing thought for a while and said: "We will have to talk to them about this matter then, and our Hezhong Prefecture will have to bear the finances of the Northwest Army."
God is fair. When you want a more perfect result, you have to spend more time and money.
...
Lakeside.
"lady!"
"Husband...husband!"
Wu Zhang, who had just been released, looked up at Wu Lei, who was running towards her. He took the step he couldn't take just now, but took it back.
"lady!"
Wu Lei, who ran over, took the initiative to take Wu Zhang's hand and choked with sobs: "I can't help you."
"No, no, it's... I'm sorry for you, I... I shouldn't hide it from you."
The husband and wife looked at each other guiltily. They had many things to say but didn't know how to speak. In the end, they hugged each other and cried.
In fact, both of them were suffering. Wu Lei actually knew his wife's difficulties, but on the other side was his mother. He could only cry, but he could not stand up and say a fair word for his wife.
Wu Zhang also knew Wu Lei's character, and felt guilty for Wu Lei in her heart.
...
On the corridor not far away, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhiqian, Gao Wenyin, Xiao Tao and others looked at the couple holding each other's arms and crying from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh again.
Gao Wenyin sighed quietly: "Although their husband and wife have been reunited, the family, which was already impoverished, has encountered such a change, which will only make things worse."
With that said, she turned to Zhang Fei, "Sanlang, how about we secretly send some money to them and help them get through the current difficulties for the time being."
Zhang Fei frowned slightly, looking a little confused.
If the couple cannot survive this difficulty, the publicity effect of this judgment will be greatly reduced. But if help is given, will it be given back in the future?
In today's society, there are many people who are suffering worse than them!
"no need!"
Xu Zhiqian said suddenly.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but look 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 then."
Gao Wenyin hurriedly asked: "Who?"
"Those country squires, gentry."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Everyone is aware of this incident, and most people are very sympathetic to the couple. Someone will definitely lend a helping hand to them to gain fame."
Suddenly I heard someone behind me laughing and saying: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Mrs. Zhang is really extremely smart, and she is not inferior to women."
Everyone looked back and saw Su Che, Cai Jing, Fu Shichun and others walking over.
Xu Zhiqian was embarrassed, "Mr. Su Xiao, thank you very much, but I have seen many such things before."
Why do those country gentry and gentry maintain their reputation in the local area? Isn't it just relying on this kind of thing? Who knows if Xu Zhiqian helps others secretly.
But at this moment, if you give some help to the Wu family, the news will spread throughout the city the next day. As long as the squires in Guixiang are not stupid, they will never miss this opportunity.
Xu Zhiqian has been philanthropic since she was a child. She has seen a lot of such things. She can't speak of any wisdom. She speaks purely from experience.
When Gao Wenyin saw Su Che and the others coming, he very wisely took Xiao Tao and the others away.
Zhang Fei invited them to the side hall.
"Prosecutor Su won't blame me, right?"
Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
"Where do you start talking about this?"
Su Che chuckled: "Litigation is the responsibility of our procuratorate, and judgment is the responsibility of your imperial court. 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 accepted the prosecution from the procuratorate, which only meant that the crime was recognized at that time. The specific verdict will not be known until after the trial.
Although there is a tacit understanding between the two parties, it is also completely compliant.
But everyone knows that Zhang Fei has already thought about how to judge, otherwise, with his memory, it would be impossible to remember those regulations.
Zhang Fei chuckled: "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 had a relationship of mutual supervision, there was no need to be embarrassed, and everyone was in business.
Ye Zuqia was quite dissatisfied and said: "Teacher, why didn't you ask our opinion before you made the decision?"
There are five people sitting on it, and you end up taking all 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 awkward smile on his face, "What the students mean is that menial tasks such as retrieving regulations can be left to the students. Teachers don't like to do such things anyway."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Then what regulations will you search for to judge?"
"....!"
"Why don't you say anything?"
Zhang Fei asked seriously.
"Students don't know."
The four of them lowered their heads at the same time, regretting in their hearts why they had said 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 we find out the truth, we can actually uphold Magistrate Cai's judgment. This is not a wrong judgment. Because it is difficult to verify it alone."
What is she thinking in her heart? We currently judge Wu Zhang's inner thoughts based on the confessions of her neighbors. However, there is no evidence to directly prove whether Wu Zhang wants her mother to die or not.
Since no matter how we judge, it is not wrong, or it can be said that it is not right, and this is not a special case, but a widespread problem, then we must seriously consider what impact our judgment will have on the entire society.
Impact."
Ye Zuqia and others nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei asked abruptly: "Then the question arises, 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 specifically try some cases that are difficult to judge."
Su Che was surprised and said: "How can this be done?"
