Two hundred and seventy-sixth Shen Ruiming's indictment
This buzz of discussion reached Zhang Yunmi's ears, making her a little nervous when she appeared in such a big public place for the first time - especially since she can still understand a few words in Cantonese.
There was a hint of frivolity and teasing in it, and his face became more and more rosy.
Fortunately, she had been in Guangzhou for a long time and had given lessons to the naturalized cadres. She had already developed considerable immunity to being in public and in full view. At this moment, she just pretended not to hear and sorted out the documents in her hands.
The courtroom was packed, and Zeng Juan queued up before dawn, and was able to squeeze in at the front as he wished - speaking of it, this case was triggered by the disappearance of his niece Mingnu. He thought about it all the time.
, I was really scared, thankful, and a little proud: If I hadn’t asked Li Ziyu for help, it would have taken a long time for this case to be discovered.
Zeng Juan has been preparing for the civil service examination. However, there was a plague in Guangzhou a few months ago, so the examination was naturally suspended. Zeng Juan and his family hid at home and did not go out easily. His father's livelihood was very good - a dead man
If there are more, the business of this fragrant wax will be good. Therefore, this plague has been a small help to the Zeng family.
During the plague, no one in the Zeng family had any trouble. On the contrary, Zeng Juan’s brother-in-law contracted the plague and died because he was involved in a tea house business and had a wide range of contacts. His wife was lucky, but because she was implicated in the witchcraft case,
He was also arrested and sent to a detention center. According to several acquaintances of Gao Chongjiu in the police station, he would at least be sentenced to exile in Jeju Island or Taiwan.
Zeng Juan was relieved by the fate of this "bad couple". However, his brother-in-law died and his three nephews became orphans. Zeng Juan's parents are now taking care of them, and their daily expenses are quite high. However, the family has passed
It is a joy to have peace and comfort.
After the epidemic was lifted, the tea house left by Zeng Juan's brother-in-law was also allowed to open. However, there was no abbot to take care of the store. According to Zeng Juan's father's wishes, Zeng Juan was asked to be the shopkeeper. He would manage the tea house as his uncle.
Ju raised his nephew to adulthood, and outsiders would never be able to pick out the etiquette. Although the Wanshenglu Teahouse was not big, the business was decent. Moreover, the chef in the store also had this intention, and also expressed the hope to the Tseng family that Zeng would be involved in hosting it.
However, Zeng Juan had his heart set on taking the civil service exam - being a teahouse shopkeeper was too boring! So he was unwilling to "take over" the job, which made his father furious, saying that he "wouldn't eat the meat in the ready-made pot.
"I want to eat the pie in the painting" and even burned his reference books. But it was Zeng Juan's mother who had the insight to scold his father: "Although you can eat the meat in this pot now, this pot is still Hua Tsai's after all."
Chengzai's - they don't have the surname Zeng! They won't be able to return them to others in the future?! What will Ajuan do then?"
After listening to this, Zeng Juan's father couldn't say anything to refute it. It took him a long time to hold back one sentence: "It may not be reliable for him to take the civil service examination now, and the tea house has some income! This big family can't rely on him for a few words."
Eating with empty words!”
In the end, both parties compromised, and Zeng Juan could take the civil service exam, but before he passed the exam, he had to work as a shopkeeper in a tea house. Fortunately, the tea house, cooks, and buyers were all experienced, so Zeng Juan was just a sit-in.
But as a result, he had much less time to review, which made Zeng Juan feel dejected these days.
Even so, he still studied hard for the exam. When he heard that the Maojia Inn case was going to be tried publicly this time, he got up early and hurried over to hear the trial. Because he had decided to take the public exam in one direction: taxation and the other.
It's judicial. According to the reference book, these two categories are closely related to Australian laws. It may be helpful to hear the trial yourself.
On the other side of the iron fence is the court, with special auditoriums on both sides. Sitting there are "gentlemen" of different heights, short, fat, and thin. Zeng Juan doesn't recognize any of them, and he's not interested. However, Australia is sitting behind the "Defender" sign.
The woman seduced him and he couldn't help but draw his eyes there.
Liang Xinhu banged the gavel several times and shouted for silence. But it had no effect. It was the servants in the prefecture and county yamen who were retained to maintain order at the scene and shouted in unison to suppress the noisy voice.
"Bring the suspect to court!"
As the order to bring in the suspects was conveyed, the soldiers from the White Horse Team brought the prisoners in one by one from the side door and asked them to stand in a row behind the defendant's fence.
The prisoners were not shackled, nor were they asked to kneel down, they were just standing. This is not a rare thing. Guangzhou citizens who have seen many Australians questioning cases know that Australian cases are always like this. But these can be called
The villain who had committed many crimes was not called a "criminal" but a "suspect", which puzzled the onlookers.
Zeng Juan knows that according to Australian law, until a court has pronounced a guilty verdict, he is called a suspect, rather than a designated "criminal". Although he has observed the specific judicial practice of Australia: "suspect" and "prisoner", "criminal"
The definition between "" is not particularly clear, but in courts and documents, it is as literal as words.
Those on trial today are Wu Zhiqi, Fu Wen and several other principal criminals in the birth-cropping case. Each of them is flanked by two members of the White Horse team.
"The Song Dynasty Australia is in the Guangzhou Municipal Court. The kidnapping and murder case of the defendants Wu Zhiqi, Fu Wen and other 13 people will be heard in public in accordance with the law." After Liang Xinhu announced the opening of the trial, he first asked several defendants to state their names and other information.
, the crowd outside also heard the news from the loudspeaker that the prisoner had come to court, and immediately became commotion. Especially a group of family members of the victims who were wearing mourning gathered outside the venue. At this moment, they fell to the ground and cried. Some people were crazy and had red eyes.
I was about to rush inside. The invited monks and Taoists were chanting sutras outside again, and the scene was very lively.
The police and the National Army have been notified: The victim's family members can do whatever they want outside the court as long as they do not disrupt order, but they are not allowed to storm the court. When cases were tried in court in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were often incidents of "violent crowds beating prisoners to death on the spot". And not
It was said that beating a criminal to death would inevitably involve legal issues, and if so many people at the scene caused chaos, it would inevitably cause a stampede. Therefore, the soldiers of the National Army surrounded them tightly to prevent them from taking any drastic actions.
Liang Xinhu read out the rights and obligations enjoyed by the defendant again. Shen Ruimin and Liang Xinhu looked at each other, stood up, straight back, and sounded righteous. He picked up the document and read out loud: "Da Song Australia
A case involving 13 defendants, including Wu Zhiqi and Fu Wen, was filed at the Guangzhou Special Prosecution Office for kidnapping, abduction, murder, grave robbing, insulting corpses, intentional injury causing death, fraud, illegal medical practice, and manufacturing of counterfeit medicines...
A public prosecution was filed. The defendant Wu Zhiqi Yu... together with the defendant Fu Wen... kidnapped the victim Fan near Xiaoshi Village outside Guangzhou on a certain day in 1635; on a certain day in 1635..."
The crimes committed by this group of people are too numerous to list. There are dozens of charges in the indictment alone, and the indictment is hundreds of pages long. It took more than two hours just to read the entire indictment.
Although it took a long time, the case was too shocking and horrifying. Although many people had obtained information about the case from various channels, whether it was Liu Xiang and other elders in the auditorium, or naturalized citizens and ordinary people inside and outside the court, most of them This was the first time I heard the full story of the case. Anger spread among the crowd. If it were not strictly forbidden to bring any throwable objects into the court, the thirteen suspects would have been hit on the head. Bleeding broke out.
"The evidence is shown below."
In order to complete the "iron case" and fully embody the judicial trial's idea of "determining the case with evidence", the entire trial team spent a lot of thought on the evidence presentation in the court. In addition to summoning the fifteen main witnesses, they also The testimonial materials of about nineteen people were read out on the spot. It took a whole morning just to question the witnesses and read out the testimonies. Although it was the weather in December, Shen Ruiming's speech continued for several hours in a crowded room. The clothes under the robe were completely soaked with sweat.
However, such a lively prosecution was a very rare experience for Shen Ruiming. He was even a little intoxicated in his performance. He strolled around the court, sometimes impassioned, sometimes low and melancholy, and sometimes bursting out with justice. He angrily denounced the suspect, and sometimes gave long inner monologues about law and justice. The crowd below were all fascinated and burst into applause and cheers from time to time. Liang Xinhu secretly wondered: Could this Shen Ruiming be? Did you study drama?
It was well past lunch time after the witness testimony session ended, and Liang Xinhu adjourned the court and resumed the court session at 1 p.m.
Although the court was adjourned, the spectators were not willing to leave - who knew if they would be able to squeeze in if they came later? However, a group of vendors came to sell various snacks and refreshments at an advantage.
Returning to the lounge, I saw Shen Ruiming stripped naked except for a pair of underpants - even the back of the underpants was soaked. Liang Xinhu said: "You are working hard! You are playing the role of Caine's mutiny." !”
Shen Ruiming was still immersed in the pleasure of the speech. While enjoying the maid rubbing his back, he said: "This is a great opportunity for us to popularize the law!"
He stood up and put on a nightgown, took the kvass and took a sip. His tone and expression were very excited, "What is the modern legal system and what is feudal superstition? I just want to take this opportunity to show everyone."
The trial in the afternoon started with an evidence presentation session. With special approval from the Guangzhou Municipal Government, a projector was specially used to display photos of the scene in the courtroom.
For most people, even though they have heard many details, and even though cruel scenes are commonplace in this time and space, the real photos of the crime scene still give many people a chill. Coupled with Shen Ruiming's gloomy tone, it is like a sudden A cold wind blew through the courtroom
