After being so powerful, Xu Zun slapped the crowd and asked majestically.
The three of them bowed one after another and announced their homes.
In the Song Dynasty, ordinary cases did not need to be heard on the court, but some criminals involved in heinous crimes had to be heard on their knees. If Ayun was here, then she would not have the right to stand.
Xu Zun asked again: "What grievances do you have?"
Zhang Fei clasped his hands and said: "Returning to the magistrate, because my client, uh, Wei Ada, was murdered a few months ago and almost died. He is still in shock and his words are unknown, so he entrusted a commoner to appeal on his behalf.
"
Xu Zun nodded slightly and said: "I am very aware of the murder case of Wei Ada, and I am very sympathetic to Wei Ada's experience, so I allow you to appeal on his behalf. In addition, I understand that Wei Ada is injured, so I grant you permission."
He sits on trial to avoid fatigue."
Immediately, a government servant came over carrying a chair.
Xu Zun felt a little guilty about Wei Ada because he wanted to help Ayun avoid the death penalty, so he gave Wei Ada excellent treatment.
Wei Ada was a simple and honest man. He felt that he did not need to sit on trial, so he was frightened when facing the master's reward. Just when he was about to refuse, Zhang Fei glared back, and he choked and shouted "Thank you, Zhizhou" several times.
So I sat on the chair, but it was still like sitting on pins and needles!
To be honest, it would be better to just stand.
Xu Zun asked again: "I wonder if Wei Ada has any grievances he wants to complain about?"
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Reporting to the magistrate, Xiaomin sued Fang Datian on behalf of Wei Ada, which caused great harm to Wei Ada's body and spirit."
When Fang Datian heard this, he was really wronged to death. Just when he was about to complain, Xu Yuan, the chief clerk, said first: "Regarding this case, the government has found out that Ayun murdered Wei Ada, and Fang Datian had no knowledge in advance."
Fang Datian looked at Xu Yuan with tears in his eyes.
He is really the great master of Qingtian!
Zhang Fei said: "Not knowing about it doesn't mean it doesn't matter. First of all, Fang Datian used marriage to defraud money."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Datian immediately cried out: "Xiaomin is wronged. Xiaomin sincerely wanted to betroth Xiaomin's niece to Wei Ada. There was absolutely no intention to deceive. Moreover, Xiaomin had already married the Wei family to Wei Ada."
Return the dowry to them."
Xu Zun nodded and said to Zhang Fei: "I have investigated what Fang Datian said before and there is no intention to defraud him."
Zhang Fei asked Fang Datian: "When you came to our house to propose marriage, you once said that your niece is kind, handsome, gentle and virtuous. I wonder if that's true?"
Fang Datian said: "Yes, I did say such things, but I didn't lie. If you don't believe it, you can go around my village and ask if my Ayun is what I said."
He didn't seem stupid, and immediately added: "I don't know why that kid suddenly killed someone with a knife. If I had known about it in advance, I would have stopped him."
Zhang Fei said: "This is just your one-sided statement. The fact is that what Ayun did has nothing to do with being gentle and virtuous."
Xu Yuan on the side suddenly said: "But Fang Datian didn't lie. This can't be said to be defrauding money through marriage."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Xu, if a relative of mine is seriously ill and a doctor comes to tell him that he has a medicine that can cure my relative's illness, but the patient dies after taking it, will the doctor be held responsible?"
"
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "If it is true that he died due to medicine, then of course the doctor must be held responsible."
Zhang Fei added: "But the doctor said that this medicine has cured many people and is famous far and wide. He didn't mean to harm anyone, so can he get away with it?"
Xu Yuandao: "Even so, he still has to take responsibility. However, the two cannot be generalized. That is medicine, and this is a person. Medicine needs to be given by others, but people can act independently. Now that Ayun has confessed to the law, he has paid Wei back.
Ada is fair."
"Ayun is Ayun, but he cannot represent Fang Datian. Taking the matter of selling medicine just now as an example, if it is said that the doctor did not sell the medicine to the patient after receiving the money, this is of course a kind of deception. But at the same time, if the doctor
The medicine did not work and made the patient's condition worse, which is also a kind of deception. Xiaomin completely believes that Fang Datian is sincerely betrothing his niece to Wei Ada. But..."
Zhang Fei changed the topic and said: "It was Fang Datian who took the initiative to come to the door and told Wei Ata that his niece was gentle, virtuous, kind and handsome, and induced Wei Ata to use his family's ancestral land in exchange for this marriage. This was not a good thing, and it has already been
There is a relationship of interest involved. But the fact is that the opposite is true. His niece is definitely not a kind person. This directly caused Weiada's physical and mental torture, which constitutes the crime of defrauding money through marriage."
The wrong product is also a kind of deception.
Xu Yuandao: "If there is really a misunderstanding in the communication between Fang Datian and Wei Ada, the government will consider it as appropriate, but what you are suing is Fang Datian's crime of hurting others."
Zhang Fei said: "I dare to ask Mr. Xu, if Fang Datian had not deceived Wei Ada, would Wei Ada have suffered such harm?"
Xu Yuan shook his head.
Zhang Fei said: "In other words, Wei Ada was chopped and injured because of Fang Datian's deception. However, since this was his unintentional mistake and he has been actively cooperating with the government's investigation, he can be exempted from the crime.
That is to say, he should be exempted from the crime of fraud and prosecuted for the crime of hurting others."
Xu Zun's eyes lit up and he suppressed a smile.
Applying this law to this case is at least much more reasonable than applying it to Ayun!
Speaking of the crime of absolving him, Xu Yuan was even more angry and immediately retorted: "I just said that the government will consider it as appropriate, but I did not say that I decided that he had committed fraud. After all, Fang Datian betrothed his niece to
Wei Ada also does what his elders do, and according to what I know, many parents and matchmakers are suspected of exaggerating their words when they are matchmakers. If this is used to judge the crime, I am afraid many people will come here to complain."
He is also experienced, and he also understands at this time that although Zhang Fei is accused of hurting others, the key lies in whether it constitutes a crime of fraud.
If it does not constitute the crime of fraud, then there is no way to avoid the crime caused by it, and the crime of hurting others is naturally out of the question.
It is debatable whether someone who is gentle, virtuous, handsome and kind, even if it does not conform to the facts, can constitute a crime of fraud. Regarding this point, Xu Yuan can cite a large number of examples to prove that this cannot constitute a crime of fraud.
Because everyone who is a matchmaker says this, it can almost be classified as a mantra. Even the laws of later generations will find it difficult to make judgments based on this.
Zhang Fei calmly said: "Master Xu's words are wrong. Fraud is a common thing for people. Otherwise, it would be difficult to succeed. Why does everyone say this, but nothing like this happens? All this is because
Fang DaTian was too greedy and eager to get the Wei family's land. He ignored A-Yun's own feelings and did not tell Wei A-Da truthfully what A-Yun was thinking, which led to such a tragedy. Although he had no harmful intentions, he still
He does have the intention of getting money, and his intention is not to achieve the beauty of adulthood, but because of the desire for profit, and he uses lies to obtain benefits, which is enough to constitute the crime of fraud.
In addition, as far as I know, Ayun was observing filial piety for his mother at the time. According to the laws of our dynasty, marriage was not allowed at this time, and this law is related to human ethics, so everyone knows it, but Fang Datian knew the law and violated it.
He still insists on betrothing Ayun to Weiada. As far as the law is concerned, this marriage cannot be counted. Using a marriage that cannot be recognized by any law to ask for ten acres of land from the other party is enough to conclude that this is a fraud.
."
Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this and couldn't help but look at Xu Zun.
Xu Zun seemed to expect that he would look at him and quietly gave him an innocent look.
This has nothing to do with me.
I really underestimated this person. Xu Yuan suddenly looked very depressed.
If he wanted Fang Datian to be punished based on just those few words of praise, he would never allow it.
But if the punishment is based on the principle of observing filial piety and not being able to marry, then he would be in some trouble.
It’s not that the law stipulates this, because people have their own sentiments. In ordinary people’s homes, it only says that no weddings are allowed during the period of observing filial piety, not that they cannot pay taxes.
What Fang Datian did cannot be said to be against etiquette and law.
But the key point is that Xu Zun has used this method to overturn the judgment of Dali Temple. The Dali Temple has also withdrawn the crime of treason and does not recognize their relationship as husband and wife. If he wants to be more serious, the Dali Temple can let him go.
They?
This may even affect Xu Zun's career.
This is such a double standard.
Although Xu Yuan was dissatisfied, he could only nod his head and said: "This is indeed what the law stipulates."
He didn't dare to argue any longer.
Fang Datian suddenly panicked. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Xu Yuan was biased towards him. This was actually done intentionally by Xu Zun to ensure fairness.
But for Zhang Fei, it is not enough to hold Xu Yuan in check, because this is the sentiment of the people. He also has to convince the watching citizens at the door to accept this statement.
Zhang Fei suddenly looked around and said loudly and forcefully: "There is no doubt that Wei Ada is definitely the biggest victim in this case."
The biggest victim?
Isn't it the only one?
Xu Yuan felt strange when he heard this.
A smile flashed in Xu Zun's eyes, but he remained silent and allowed Zhang Fei to do what he wanted.
He then heard Zhang Fei say: "Moreover, the mental harm caused by this case to Wei Ada is far greater than the physical harm he suffered."
Having said this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, saying: "Weada was ostracized by his playmates since he was a child because of his ugly appearance. When he grew up, he was also disliked by others. Now he is thirty years old, but he is still unmarried.
But this body, hair and skin are all inherited from his parents. This is not his fault, but he has suffered from it. God is really unfair.
Originally, Wei Ada had already decided that he would be alone for the rest of his life. It was Fang Datian who gave him hope, but it was also Fang Datian who drove him into the abyss.
A woman would rather take risks and commit murder than marry him. What a huge blow this is to him."
As he said this, he suddenly heard the sound of mourning and saw Naveada sitting on a chair, holding his head in his hands and twitching all over.
This scene made everyone present moved.
Many women even covered their faces and sobbed.
Xu Yuan could not help but lower his eyes and sigh.
This is really hurtful to say.
Tears flashed at the corners of Zhang Fei's eyes, and he sighed, and then said: "I don't know what the situation of the Fang family was at that time. What is certain at present is that Ayun had objected beforehand, and the results also told us the answer. She was
The objection was not recognized. On the contrary, she had to marry Wei Ada, which led to this human tragedy. So who forced Ayun to marry Wei Ada was Fang Datian."
Zhang Fei pointed to Fang DaTian and said: "And just for the ten acres of land in Wei's family, he forced his brother's and sister-in-law's daughter to break her filial piety at the time of her brother's and sister-in-law's funeral. This is in vain for him to be a brother and an uncle.
, and it is even more unworthy of him. He is absolutely responsible for this, but since he really did not have any intention of hurting others, I would like to ask Zhizhou to order Fang Datian to compensate Wei Ada for the harm he suffered with fifty acres of land.
"
Although Fang DaTian was better at speaking than Wei A Da, he was also frightened in the courtroom and had been reluctant to say anything. Now that he heard that he was being asked to compensate for fifty acres of land, he burst into tears on the spot, "Zhizhou
Mingjian, the common people have been wronged! They have been wronged! The common people only have good intentions and have no harmful intentions."
But in the face of his cry, most of the people present treated him coldly.
How abominable!
Xu Zun asked: "Really? Then I asked you, why did you marry Ayun to Wei Ada when Ayun was observing his filial piety?"
Fang Datian argued: "Many people, during the period of observing filial piety, promised to marry and accept taxes, but they just didn't hold the ceremony. This is not done by ordinary people alone!"
Xu Zundao: "But most of them are out of goodwill, or care and concern for the younger generation, rather than malice, and not for their own selfish interests. What Zhang San said is correct. As an elder, when the bones of your brother and sister-in-law are still cold,
The motive of forcing his niece to seek benefits for himself is very shameful."
After saying this, Xu Zun asked Zhang Fei again: "Do you have any explanation for asking for compensation for fifty acres of land on Weiada's behalf?"
Fifty acres of land was definitely not a small amount of money, and he never thought that Zhang Fei would ask for so much compensation.
"have!"
Zhang Fei said: "For Wei Ada, he needs more compensation now, because this injury has had a very bad impact on his future life. Without compensation, it is tantamount to causing him to die slowly, so
He hopes that the law can seek justice for him and compensate for his losses."
As he said that, he immediately took out a piece of paper and said, "The details of the compensation are clearly written on it. The common man has not asked for a penny more."
Xu Zun winked at Liu Hai.
Liu Hai immediately went down to take the piece of paper and presented it to Xu Zun.
Xu Zun took it and looked at it. His eyes almost popped out of his head. How could he write it in such detail? What a talent!
Little did they know that Zhang Fei had been doing this kind of work in a law firm before, and this was actually the first time he went to court to defend himself.
After reading it, he handed it to Xu Yuan.
When Xu Yuan saw it, his expression was exactly the same. He had never seen such a detailed compensation form in his life.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about medical expenses.
Then he cut off all the inconvenience caused to Weada, including Weada's future marriage.
Considering Weada's current situation, how much property must he have before he has the chance to get another marriage.
Nowadays, the amount of gift money a man should give to a married man is determined by data. Zhang Fei just multiplied it by two, because disability will also cause the gift money to increase.
Now Xu Yuan also understands why Zhang Fei wanted to sue Fang Datian for hurting someone, not for fraud.
In fact, they had been arguing just now about whether Fang Datian's behavior constituted a crime of fraud, not a crime of injury. The crime of injury was only a crime of excusing the cause.
The reason lies in this issue of compensation.
If it is just fraud, then the claim amount will definitely not be that large, but if you want to ask for compensation for the crime of hurting others, you can write a lot.
Xu Yuan had nothing to say.
Seeing that Xu Yuan had no objections, Xu Zun made a judgment on the spot and ordered Fang Datian to compensate Wei Ada for fifty acres of fertile land. He also angrily scolded him on the spot for violating his filial piety and ordered him to go back and reflect.
At the same time, he also adopted Zhang Fei's statement that Fang Datian did not mean to hurt anyone, but made an honest mistake, so he was exempted from punishment.
But Fang Datian, who had always loved money as much as his life, fainted on the spot.
There was a roar of applause outside the hospital.
Hearing this, the citizens outside the door all hated Fang Datian, and at the same time they sympathized very much with Weiada.
It's so pitiful.
"The magistrate knows everything clearly, and the little people thank the magistrate Wei Aduo for making decisions for us."
Zhang Fei bowed his hand.
Xu Zun glanced at Zhang Fei meaningfully, and Zhang Fei immediately expressed his gratitude with his eyes.
