552,Legal Education and Public Trial Conference II
The man who refused to accept the verdict was imprisoned.
Soon, more than a dozen people were escorted forward. They were all handcuffed and shackled.
"These people are the work of Haraqin Labusi Khan. They reported Duolun's grain output, population, and material reserves to Khan Ahai and Buyan Ahai, causing the Mongolian nobles to attack us driven by greed.
During the defense of the city of Duolun, he used bows and arrows to deliver information to the outside world many times, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers and civilians defending the city. After trial by the Yamen, the evidence was conclusive and he was sentenced to death."
As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately became excited. Many people had lost their relatives and friends during the six-month siege and defense of the city. Thinking of the tragic experience their families would face once the city was broken, everyone's eyes turned red with anger.
The people around were shouting murder in a deafening way, and they were crowding forward like a tide. They wanted to come up and beat them to death.
The soldiers quickly held their halberds horizontally to block the crowd and shouted: "Back off, back off."
"Any crime that endangers the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the people is treason and must be severely punished. Everyone has the obligation to report such crimes to the government immediately. The government will give honors and material rewards."
The law enforcement officials quickly took these people away to avoid any accidents due to the angry crowd.
Then a man who looked like a boatman was brought up.
"This man was punting a boat at the ferry. In order to make more money, he overloaded the boat to solicit passengers. As a result, the boat capsized. He was afraid of being held responsible, so he did not go into the water to rescue the passengers who fell into the water, but chose to escape. As a result, more than ten people who could not swim drowned.
He died. He ran to the Mongols. Because he could punt, he was sent by the Mongols to take charge of the ferry. He escaped before the siege. This time the Mongols were defeated and he was captured along with the surrendered Mongols."
"Do you have anything to say, whether you plead guilty or not."
This man, who was dressed like a boatman, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, beat his chest and feet, and cursed himself for being a beast.
"I plead guilty, and I deserve what I got."
"According to the land and water transportation management regulations promulgated by Duolun Yamen, merchants must have the obligation to ensure the safety of customers. In such a situation where the ship capsizes due to fault or force majeure, the obligation to rescue must be fulfilled. Taking into account the parties' usual peace of mind
He was timid, panicked, and failed to take action to try his best to rescue the people who fell into the water. Instead, he chose to evade responsibility. The criminal must be punished by law. At the same time, compensation should be paid to the families of the victims. He was sentenced to ten years of hard labor in the quarry. The wages of these ten years will be spent on
To compensate the victim’s family.”
Xiao Niangpi said: "Master, this rule is reasonable. There were many punters and ferrymen in the Ming Dynasty, and many of them sought wealth and killed people. After robbing the guests, they threw them into the water. It was said that they slipped and fell into the water. Anyway, there was no such thing.
When people see it, there is no evidence, and the government cannot punish him. With this law, if you are your ship, you will be responsible for anything that happens. This will reduce a lot of such cases."
Lin Yueru also said: "Dongchang has dealt with an incident. The inn owner ignored the sudden illness of a guest and locked the door. As a result, the guest died. They took the opportunity to divide the guest's belongings. No
Thinking that this person is an informant from Dongchang and has important letters with him, he almost ruined our affairs."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "When I reviewed, there was another case. A private school teacher took his children on a spring outing, and one of the children accidentally fell into a manure pit. The teacher felt dirty, so he did not go to save people, resulting in the death of the child.
I decided to sentence him to three years of hard labor. In this case, you brought people out, and at the same time you took on the responsibility of ensuring their safety. Such cases are all caused by your own actions and the safety of others.
Safety obligations require responsibility."
After each case was introduced, there was a lot of discussion outside. People analyzed the case according to their own understanding and expressed their opinions with their own simple concepts.
Yang Fan said: "A big reason for the corruption of officials is that the people do not understand the law. Therefore, we must make great efforts to popularize the law among the people. When the people understand the law, they will not be so easy to bully. They will know how to use legal weapons to protect themselves
legitimate rights and interests.
Next, several cases of fights and fights resulting in fatalities were publicly dealt with.
"Everyone, please don't fight. If you lose, you will be injured and you will have to pay for medical treatment. If you win, you will go to jail. If you have any disputes, you can go to Li Zheng to resolve them, or you can go to the government to resolve them. Duolun is not like other areas in the Ming Dynasty. The county magistrate can do whatever he wants.
Torture is used. Not only are the criminals beaten, but the accusers are also beaten, and even witnesses can be beaten. Torture is strictly prohibited in Toronto. So everyone can rest assured that you can come to the lawsuit safely and you will not get spanked."
Next, another batch of cases was processed.
It was almost noon. The public trial was finally over.
Sibeigou and his family also came to hear the trial. The old man said: "You all listen carefully, learn the Fa, and don't cause trouble. If you don't understand the Fa, you will just open your eyes and be blind, act randomly when things happen, and become irrational even if you are reasonable."
"
Si Xiaosong and Si Xiaobai were very anxious, but they did not dare to leave. They could only listen to the old man's lesson.
The two of them purchased 200 sesame cakes from Heji Sesame Bake Shop in the morning. They put them in baskets and wrapped them in clean drawer cloths, and planned to sell them to people in the square at noon.
They both figured it out. Everyone was rushing to watch the new show. They would definitely not leave after the public trial, and they would definitely be hungry if they didn't eat for a day. When the time comes, they would sell sesame cakes with baskets on their backs. This is a good business.
.
After listening to my grandfather's lesson, I quickly told my mother to hold a seat for them so that they could come back and listen to the show after selling out the sesame cakes. Then the two boys hurried out to sell the sesame cakes.
I didn't dare to run around during the public trial, but now I can do it.
They shouted loudly, "Shaobing, Shaobing, Pastry Shaobing, two big bucks each."
"Hey, you two little brats, Caihei, the sesame cakes cost a big buck each, but you actually sell them for two big bucks, keep it for yourselves. No one will buy yours." People around them cursed one after another.
"There is a big-money sesame seed cake. It's not far away. You always turn around and go out. It's only a few steps away from the square. You keep going out, can you come back?"
"Hey, good boys, you two bad boys are waiting here."
The man cursed angrily. But then he smelled the aroma of sesame cakes, and his stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
I haven't eaten anything since I came to occupy the space in the morning. How can I not be hungry?
On the other side, a little girl cried: "Mother, mother, I want to eat sesame cakes, I'm hungry."
The woman holding the child comforted her in a low voice: "Good girl, please bear with me. After watching the show, my mother will give you some noodles to eat when you go home, okay?"
Si Xiaosong put the basket on the ground, opened the drawer cloth, took out a golden sesame seed cake, shook it and said: "It's a good sesame seed pancake. It's thick under the pastry. It's covered with sesame seeds on both sides. It's fragrant and soft. The quantity is limited and sold out."
until."
Suddenly many children were crying. Parents angrily scolded these two bad boys.
Now that life has improved, we can still afford to eat a few sesame seed cakes. So, they all cursed and spent money to buy a few sesame seed cakes for their children and the elderly as a cushion.
Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi in the teahouse were giggling with laughter. These two bad boys, playing dirty tricks, had a fight with Chen Zhuzhu.
A young man in charge of the guard next to him said: "Sir, these two boys also made meritorious deeds during the Battle of Duolun. They are first-class meritorious service."
Yang Fan immediately stared. First-class merit is not easy to establish. Many are awarded to heroes who died in the line of duty. Unless they make a major contribution, it is impossible. These two boys are not simple.
