Wang Fuguang and others were so angry that Liu Chen used the Wang family's knife to kill the scholars of the Wang family. This was a great shame to the Wang family!
Liu Chen said: "The student didn't want to kill, but Wang Shuo forced me to do all this. If Wang Shuo hadn't attacked the student first, the student would not have committed the crime of murder. I hope Du Jun can make the decision for the student." p>
Du Ning nodded lightly and then asked: "I can't hastily conclude the case just based on your few words. Is there any eyewitness to what happened just now? Is there any witness?"
"All the students in the liberal arts college can testify, and they all came to the court." Liu Chen said.
Du Ning was shocked and said, "Witnesses are invited to come to court."
After a while, five young scholars walked in. Like Liu Chen, they were all top-level students. They all bowed to Du Ning and saluted together.
"I've met Du Jun."
"No need to be polite."
Du Ning said: "You are all students from the Faculty of Arts, are you here to testify for Liu Chen?"
One of them said: "Yes, Du Jun, we were at the scene when the crime occurred and witnessed with our own eyes what happened in the case between Wang Shuo and Liu Chen. It was indeed Wang Shuo who repeatedly insulted Liu Chen."
Another person also said: "Wang Shuo is usually domineering. He scolded Brother Liu many unpleasant words, but Brother Liu didn't even take action. But Brother Liu just contradicted him, and Wang Shuo wanted to kill Brother Liu with a knife. His behavior was extremely bad.
”
At this moment, Wang Fuguang said loudly: "Please forgive Wang for speaking bluntly, my son Wang Shuo has a good character, how can he be so bad in your mouth? Don't slander my son with empty words."
"Uncle Wang, what kind of character your son has is known to all the scholars and people in Lanzhou City. You don't think Wang Shuo is a good student that everyone praises, do you?"
"Who in the streets doesn't know the ugly things Wang Shuo has done over the years? It is said that he also used his family to spoil several young girls. He is really proud of you, the king!"
"That's right, if you say Wang Shuo is a beast, it would be the greatest humiliation to a beast."
The students who testified all spoke out one after another. They looked at Wang Shuo's body next to them and showed disgust. They felt extremely relieved and happy about Wang Shuo's death.
"Shut up! You are slandering our Wang Shuo like this!"
"Who do you think you are? You dare to talk nonsense in court. It's really abominable!"
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"
"You are so brave, you actually humiliated our Wang family like this!"
The Wang family was so angry that their faces were livid. They couldn't bear that someone commented on Wang Shuo like this. This was a slap in the face, a slap in the face of the entire Wang family!
"Quiet!"
Du Ning slapped the crowd in shock, causing people on both sides to shut up.
"Lubantou."
"My subordinates are here."
Lu Baotou quickly came out of the queue.
"Take the yamen officers to the scene of the crime and investigate who else witnessed the case. In addition, on my behalf, notify the president of the Prefectural Literature Academy to come to the court."
"Yes, I will do it now."
Lu Baotou saluted Du Ning, then ordered a group of government servants, mounted a fast horse and rushed to the Academy of Literature.
Du Ning asked those students again: "When Wang Shuo and Liu Chen got into trouble, did you try to break up the fight?"
"Sir, at that time Wang Shuo had a murderous weapon in his hand, how could we dare to attack? If anyone dared to go up to break up the fight, Wang Shuo would chop him into pieces with a knife?"
"We have never fought on a daily basis, and our talents and strength are very limited. We simply don't know how to break up a fight."
"At that time, we immediately notified the Hanlin professor at the liberal arts college, but when Mr. Liu arrived, Mr. Liu had already grabbed the knife and killed Wang Shuo."
Du Ning nodded lightly. The scholars in the childhood realm were physically stronger than the elite soldiers. Not to mention Wang Shuo holding a blade, he could beat a bull to death even with his bare hands.
At this moment, Wang Fuguang said: "Master Du Jun, even if my son Wang Shuo attacks Liu Chen first, it is just to scare Liu Chen. It is absolutely impossible for him to have the intention to kill Liu Chen. Please be aware of this."
."
Du Ning said expressionlessly: "Wang Fuguang, you are also a scholar, how could you say such ignorant words? Didn't you just hear what the medical officer said? Liu Chen had multiple stab wounds on his body that penetrated three-thirds of his flesh.
, and another knife was stabbed next to the heart, almost killing Liu Chen. Now you stand in the court in front of me, in front of all the scholars, in front of all the folks, and tell me that it is just
Want to scare Liu Chen?"
"This..." Wang Fuguang was speechless for a moment.
Mrs. Wang next to her said: "I don't care! Even if my son does something wrong, he should not be killed. If Liu Chen kills my son, he should pay with his life. Please make the decision for civilian women!"
Du Ning said slowly: "First of all, the cause of the incident was an quarrel between Wang Shuo and Liu Chen, and then a conflict. Then Wang Shuo stabbed Liu Chen with a knife, almost killing Liu Chen. If this behavior is true, then Wang Shuo will
It was an attempted murder in a subjective sense, and Liu Chen passively resisted out of self-protection. In the process of resisting, Wang Shuo was injured or killed. According to the "New Chinese Code", it will be defined as legitimate defense.
Since I took office, I have been updating my legal knowledge in the literary world every day. I don’t need to say more about the concept of self-defense, right?"
Liu Chen suddenly felt happy. Du Ning proposed the concept of "justifiable defense" in "The New Laws of China". When Party A beats Party B or threatens his life, Party B is protecting himself or preventing Party A from further harming himself.
Any injury or death caused to Party A during the process will be deemed as "justifiable defense" and will not be punished by law.
"What? Self-defense?"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she almost fainted, "I don't care about self-defense, killing is killing, Liu Chen must pay with his life!"
Wang Fuguang gritted his teeth and said: "Of course Wang knows the concept of 'legitimate defense' proposed by the adults, but Wang doesn't agree with it anyway. Doesn't this mean that you don't have to take responsibility for killing people? From now on, if you kill someone, just use '
On the grounds of "justifiable defense", wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Then according to Shi Shi's wishes, if Wang Shuo raises his sword to kill Liu Chen, Liu Chen shouldn't resist and must be killed by Wang Shuo alive?"
"Wang Shuo just wants to scare Liu Chen. There must be a misunderstanding. Please be clear."
"Okay, even if Wang Shuo really wanted to scare Liu Chen, his behavior was completely beyond the scope of intimidation and could have threatened Liu Chen's life. Wang Fuguang, I want to ask you, if I almost stabbed you with a blade,
Your point, do you also think that I am trying to scare you?"
"I..."
Wang Fuguang's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt sad and angry but unable to refute.
