"Haha..." After announcing that he would take over Ge Xin's interrogation, He Nan dismissed everyone. His senior fellow apprentices, including Dongfang Watch, all left together. At this time, he was the only one who listened to Ge Xin's narration.
But he laughed meaningfully three or two times.
It was not that he questioned the authenticity of Ge Xin's words, nor did he think that Ge Xin's revenge was a wrong choice.
He smiled because he felt that Ge Xin and he might have some resonance.
"Do you think I'm ridiculous?" Ge Xin raised his eyebrows and looked up at He Nan. He was not angry because of He Nan's laughter. He didn't even want his life, so why should he care about his face? If he really cared about what others thought of him,
Then he would not have disfigured himself from the beginning and would not have embarked on this tortuous road of revenge.
"Revenge is an easy decision, but the road to revenge is a very difficult one. Revenge for one's relatives may be sad, but it is definitely not ridiculous in my opinion." After laughing, He Nan's expression turned out to be surprisingly strange.
Seriously, those eyes that had been hidden under the black waterfall-like long hair also showed a slightly sad look, but it quickly disappeared.
"The reason I laughed just now is... it's not worth it for you to exchange your life for the life of a villain who can't live too long in the first place."
"Your courage is worthy of my admiration, but I cannot agree with your actions... Let's not talk about whether your method of responding to violence with violence is correct, but you actually arrogantly threw the head at the gate of the government office after killing someone——
Isn't this too arrogant?" He Nan stared at Ge Xin's face.
Hearing what He Nan said, the slump on Ge Xin's face gradually disappeared, and he regained his provocative look: "Haha... you guys on duty feel that your faces are shameless, right? Those common people are applauding you.
, I feel that I am doing harm to the people!"
"So that's what you think..." He Nan breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned back on the chair and put his legs on the wooden table in front of him: "What made you feel... I'm an errand,
What about the illusion that your face is dull?”
"You..." Ge Xin was stunned, but in the end he couldn't understand what He Nan meant.
"It's not easy to be an official these days. Let's take Yin Shijie as an example... Of course we know that Yin Shijie is not a good person, but there is no evidence for what happened in the past. Why should we arrest him? We
If we arrest someone who violates the rules, we will have to release him in a few days. If we don’t arrest him, the people will think that we are incompetent..." He Nan spread his hands. In fact, Zhou Xi had already given the order before He Nan went to Kui County to handle the case.
It’s time to punish these bullies. But this Yin Shijie is also quite cunning. Even if he does evil things, he rarely comes forward in person, and most of the time he lets his subordinates take the blame. Secondly, he is quite sensitive, and I heard that Zhou Li used thunder to kill him.
After gathering a group of people, he restrained himself a lot. He never left the house or took a step outside. As for the third time... most of the previous officials had unclear relationships with local gangsters like Yin, so they didn't leave anything for Zhou Xun.
Substantial evidence shows that Zhou Xiu personally came to warn Yin Shijie, but he, an orderly person like him, really had nothing to do with the slippery Yin Shijie.
There are people like Yin Shijie everywhere, even in the county. Before leaving, He Nan even asked his senior brother to consider whether to use "fishing law enforcement" to deal with them first, but Zhou Li
That character still felt it was inappropriate, so the proposal had to be shelved.
In the final analysis, Zhou Yu still suffered from the consequences of his adherence to the rules - if he were a less upright person, he would have less scruples in using his methods.
"It's useless for you to tell me this. That's your official business and has nothing to do with me." Ge Xin said calmly: "I don't regret killing Yin Shijie, but even so, my sister-in-law can't come back from the dead...I
I’m not afraid of dying, I just regret not being able to kill this beast earlier.”
"If you want to take my life, just take it."
"No, please don't." He Nan waved his hand: "I don't care if you really want to die or if you are playing hard to get, don't come with me and die heroically."
"What on earth do you want to do?" Ge Xin raised his eyebrows. He dared to do such a thing of contempt for the court. Although he acted impulsively in anger, he did not regret it. The reason why he remained silent in front of the judge before was
He just came here seeking death, so what else is there to say?
Someone may ask, why did he say it in front of He Nan?
Because He Nan could tell at a glance that Ge Xin was a man with a story - a lame man who could not walk steadily by himself, not only killed the bullies in the city, but also cut off his head and threw it at the yamen gate, and then stood upright.
Waiting for the yamen to throw it in, there must be a story of bitter tears behind it.
So He Nan didn't ask any questions like "Why did you kill?" He directly talked to Ge Xin about the past and said, "Tell me, what is your dream?" Ge Xin had never seen this kind of routine before, but he felt sad and angry.
After being stuck for so many years and having nowhere to talk, dying like this mute seems to be a little bit secretive. Since the kid in front of me is quite good at chatting, I should express my thoughts before I die.
Then someone may ask again, what if Ge Xin killed Yin Shijie out of passion because he refused to pay for a haircut or insulted him because he was ugly and lame?
So what? It doesn’t cost anything to ask anyway.
"Whether you die or not is up to you." He Nan said with a smile, but it gave people a very strange feeling. He was not like a good official with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, nor was he like a treacherous minister who concealed his sword in his smile. All I could say was that he...
...With ulterior motives: "Of course, it doesn't count even if I say it, nor does it matter if our Lord Sheriff says it."
"You..." Ge Xin was speechless. He couldn't guess what He Nan would do next with his imagination.
"Didn't you say that you killed Yin Shijie and the people were very happy about it? Then let's let the people decide whether to let you go or kill you." If He Nan's words were heard by others, they might feel
Shocked: "If the people decide to let you go, then just listen to your sister-in-law and live a good life, change your mind and start a new life in a different place; if the people think you deserve to die, then you probably have nothing to say, since you want to die anyway."
Yes, at most I will be more depressed when I die."
"The law has the justice of the law, the human heart has the justice of the human heart, and I also have my own justice. But which kind of justice is the 'real' justice? Then we might as well try to take a look - yours
Experience is a good example." He Nan licked his back molars and picked out a piece of pepper crumbs from between his teeth.
…………
Ge Xin didn't feel anything about He Nan's words, but that didn't mean that others felt the same way. After He Nan stated his opinions to his senior brother, Zhou Xun summoned all the officials to the Yamen overnight, which suddenly caused a stir.
The meeting didn't end until 9 o'clock in the morning.
In this lawsuit, it is not unusual for both sides to have lawyers write complaints and provide defense, but it is different for ordinary people to participate in the trial decision and even directly affect the outcome of the verdict - it is not said that there will be no successor, but in this case
There really were no ancients before.
After He Nan told the officials what he thought, the expressions on their faces were wonderful - because this was undoubtedly the transfer of power from the judges to the people.
This does not mean "need to consider", but "absolutely not allowed".
Think about it, what is the purpose of their 9-to-50 years of hard work? Isn’t it that they can learn arts and martial arts, make money and get ahead in the emperor’s family? And the sign of getting ahead is not having more money than others.
, do you have more power than others?
They finally got the power, and now they are asked to give it to others?
dream.
"Absurd! This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!" shouted an old official with white hair and white beard. This person is Cao Dingman, the classics scholar of Shuihan County. "Few ordinary people are literate.
,How can we get them to participate in legal matters?"
"Ding Xuecao, what you said is wrong." He Nan said eloquently: "Being illiterate does not mean that you cannot speak, nor does it mean that you are ignorant. You must know that many people are good at reading, but they all read into the belly of dogs.
If you go, it's not as good as that illiterate commoner who can tell right from wrong."
"Nonsense, since we have read poetry and books and have achieved fame, we are naturally much smarter than those who are ignorant and ignorant." The speaker was a man in his forties, with a huge body.
The head is long and slender, and it is the commander of the county and city, Shi Zhongjin.
"That's not necessarily the case, Zhong Changshi..." He Nan smiled contemptuously: "As far as I know, your young master is already in his twenties. He is not even a scholar, but he can still receive the same salary as a scholar in the county...
...You should wipe your own ass clean first and then worry about whether others poop or not!" He Nan was doing real work without getting paid, so he naturally didn't have a good look on those people who used power for personal gain and were paid free money.
Here, Chief Shi Zhongjin was stunned and speechless by He Nan's cannon. Someone immediately stepped in and said, "He Nan, I admit that what you said makes some sense. But let's not say whether these people have read it.
If the book is clear and reasonable, you can guarantee that their decision will be correct?" This person is engaged in solemnity, and he said something fair, but he still harbors doubts.
"Zhuang Zong's words are wrong, but we and other officials always judge cases with one word, and unjust, false, and wrongful convictions are inevitable. Why not work together at this time?" He Nan replied.
As soon as the words finished, Yue Zhiyun, another member of the government, shouted sharply: "Boy He Nan, do you mean to say that officials like me are not as good as those ordinary people? Are you treating us as nothing?"
He Nan sneered and spoke immediately, asking three questions: "Old Bideng, I don't think you have the nerve to mention it? You have been in Shuihan County for ten years, right? If you really have something, you will get Ge Xin in your turn.
To kill Yin Shijie?"
He Nan was not in a hurry to argue with the scholars here, but because he had his own considerations - if he really wanted to force everyone, he could use Zhou Xun's official position to put pressure on these people. If that didn't work, he would just pull out the handleless sword.
It can also deter them, but the reason why He Nan still insists on "arguing the truth" is-since he wants the people to "vote" to decide whether Ge Xin is guilty or not, and what crime he should be guilty of, then he also wants to give these officials
An opportunity for them to decide whether their proposal is feasible.
If He Nan is like some people - he can do whatever he wants, and if others disobey his wishes, he will draw a knife or threaten him - then he has fundamentally denied his own path and become a complete hypocrite.
, a "double-standard dog" who only accepts his own faults but hits hard when others make mistakes.
Of course, He Nan is not a saint, and he never claims to be innocent - it's just that he still has his own unique persistence.
"Colleagues... Although the resolution proposed by He Nan is bold, in my opinion it is worth giving it a try - you are all tired, so let's stop here for today, but you can also think about it again
Think about whether this move is feasible, adopt what is feasible, and modify what is not feasible." Zhou Xun, the head of a county who had been silent, made the decision. In fact, given his usual character, he would never do it.
He tried, but he saw a light in his junior brother, a light that had the potential to change the form of law in Shengguo and throughout the ages. He was willing to make an attempt against his own heart for He Nan's suggestion.
