Xu Ci shouted in the lobby of Dali Temple that the fan was a fake, and the plaintiff's lawyer let out a long "Oh--": "That's a fake, ah."
The crowd was noisy, and the defendant's face turned pale. Mr. Chen cursed: "Trash! Trash!" Xu Ci already understood that he had been deceived, and he was angry and regretful. He stumbled and slapped the case.
The plaintiff's lawyer bowed to the people below, then turned to Luo Man and said, "Mr. Luo, I would like to request that four witnesses be allowed to appear in court."
"approve."
I saw four people walking out from the back, all dressed as merchants. Roman asked them who they were. It turned out that they were all shopkeepers of several large antique shops in the capital. Xu Ci suddenly collapsed on the chair as if he had been cramped. The plaintiff's lawyer
Holding the fan, he asked the witness: "Excuse me, four of you, do you recognize this fan?"
All four people said, "I recognize it." "Twelve days ago, someone brought it to the shop for review. He looked very anxious." "The villain looked at it for a long time and told him that the fan was really well made, but it was a pity that it was a fake."
The villain only took a few glances to know that it was a fake. It was copied by today’s people.” “The villain could tell it at a glance.” “The villain also said that even though it was a fake, few people could tell. Sir, he lost in the hands of a master.
, the loss is not unjust.”
"Do you still remember the four people who asked for advice with the fan?"
"Of course I remember." "There are not many fakes that are so well made, so I remember them very clearly."
"Is he in the lobby of Dali Temple?"
"exist."
"Please point it out, four of you."
The four people all pointed at Xu Ci: "This is Mr. Xu."
Roman nodded: "Defendant and defendant lawyer, do you have any objection to the witnesses and evidence provided by the plaintiff?"
Xu Ci was silent. The defendant's lawyer argued forcefully: "Perhaps Mr. Xu bought a fake fan from outside? How do you know it was given by a nobleman?"
The plaintiff's lawyer wondered: "Oh~~Since I just bought a fake ancient fan by mistake, why is Mr. Xu still refusing to admit it?"
Someone shouted below: "How shameless! The more educated people are, the more shameless they are."
The plaintiff's lawyer hurriedly said: "Sir, please don't accidentally hurt innocent people. I also studied, but I want to be ashamed." Some people laughed.
The accused litigation committee member really didn't have much ability, and he didn't know how to deal with it. A Confucian scholar behind him stood up and said: "Master Luo, I have an article in my late life, which can clearly distinguish right from wrong."
Roman said with a sullen face: "Sir, please read it out."
The Confucian scholar coughed, took out an article from his arms, put on his glasses again, shook his head and started reading. "Husband, the Book of Rites says that if a woman does not give birth for ten years, she will obey her orders..."
The group of old men behind Xu Ci shook their heads, and the audience below was at a loss. The talkative man in front couldn't help but whispered to the people on the other side: "What did this old man say?"
The man said: "I don't know either!"
Someone shouted loudly: "Can you speak human language!"
"Yes! Speak in human language! We are not monks and cannot understand the chanting!"
Roman was stunned: "Quiet!" Everyone shut up.
The Confucian scholar's article was quite long. As he was reading it, some people almost fell asleep, and he was twirling his beard in triumph. At the end, there was a paragraph of forty-six parallels. While the Confucian scholar was reading, he stretched out his arms and gestured in the air.
Someone complained loudly: "It will never end! It's noisier than bees."
The Confucian scholar was disturbed in his proud place and glared at the servant angrily. At this glance, he realized that the listeners' eyes were unfocused and their expressions were dull. Almost no one understood the beauty of the article. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Playing the harp to a cow!"
The plaintiff's lawyer opposite immediately said: "Objection! The defendant is insulting the people who are watching."
Roman said loudly: "The objection is valid. I am warning the defendant that if he insults the people again, he will be expelled from the court hall."
When the Confucian scholar stumbled, he wanted to curse politely, but the defendant lawyer waved his hands vigorously: "Sir! Mr. Luo has warned you!"
The Confucian scholar suppressed his anger and recited the remaining sentences of parallel prose with a third degree of fire. Lin Daiyu smiled and whispered to Zhan Kun: "Let Cong'er speak again."
Zhan Kun asked in a low voice: "What?"
Jia Cong stretched his head over and asked, "What did Sister Lin secretly praise me for?"
Lin Daiyu gave him an angry look: "You said that a literati's writing habits are extremely difficult to change, especially if he is sure that he is right. Even if someone tells him to only write about 'reason' and 'reason', the writer still can't help but add 'law'
Go in. Otherwise, he will feel that the article is incomplete."
Jia Cong said proudly: "What am I talking about? If they don't give them divine assists, there will definitely be pig teammates among them. What's more terrifying than pig teammates are pig teammates who think they are wolf teammates."
Zhan Kun said: "The article is really well written, so the people listening have not noticed it. Otherwise, someone would have interrupted him just now and not allowed him to finish reading."
Lin Daiyu said: "After reading it, I have designated you to praise Huizi."
Sure enough, as soon as the Confucian scholar finished reading, several people behind him applauded in unison, praising "a wonderful article!" After they finished their praise, Roman Fang said solemnly: "Please explain the article to this court in plain and easy-to-understand terms - common people.
Many people didn’t understand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to make a fuss: "I don't understand, I don't understand!" "It's worse than a monk chanting sutras!" "What are you talking about!"
The Confucian scholar said scornfully: "Of course they don't understand, they are just a bunch of people..." Before he could finish his words, the defendant lawyer rushed up to him and covered his mouth. Everyone knew that he wanted to scold him, and they immediately started booing.
"Pa!" When the gavel sounded, Roman said loudly: "Quiet!" Everyone who heard the trial knew that the Dali Temple Minister was on their side, and they all fell silent. Roman said again, "Please use the common language of the defendant."
Explain the article just now to this court in understandable language.”
How useful would it be to explain such a gorgeous article in plain language? The Confucian scholar was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and walked away. The defendant lawyer stumbled behind. Helpless, he took the article and read it in a hurry. He had not read this article before.
I have never read it. Although Mr. Chen and others had to hire a lawyer, they did not think that he was a failed scholar. After reading ten lines at a glance, the defendant lawyer said: "The main purpose of this article is to use emotion, reason, and law.
Neither Xu Sanye nor the Yao family should reconcile."
Roman frowned: "Emotion, reason, and law? How is emotion, reason, and law? Please explain."
The defendant litigator had a hard time talking about it. This article was full of citations from scriptures, and there was no way to explain it. I heard Mr. Chen sneer from behind and said, "Didn't Mr. Luo understand this article?"
Luo Man said: "I understand. Since it is a public trial, naturally it is not just for the adults to hear. It must be told to the people for it to count. Please explain to the defendant."
Mr. Chen said: "Since ancient times, when officials tried civil cases, why did the saying 'people listen' come about?"
Roman said: "Since ancient times, the prince has not paid land tax, but now he has to pay it."
Mr. Chen choked and raised his eyes to stare at Lin Daiyu who was sitting in the hall. No matter how beautiful this woman was, in his eyes she was no different from the evil ghost Rakshasa. By chance, he saw his direct son-in-law sitting next to the female prime minister.
Jia Cong was leisurely leaning on the back of his chair and drinking tea. He ignored Lin Daiyu and glared at Jia Cong instead. Jia Cong didn't notice at all. Mr. Chen stared at him again, but he still didn't check and continued to eat.
Had some tea.
The defendant lawyer asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, do you have anything else to say?"
Mr. Chen said angrily: "Explain it to these idiots!"
The plaintiff's lawyer immediately said: "Objection. The defendant is insulting the people who are watching."
"The objection is valid. I once again warn the defendant that those who insult the people will be expelled from the court hall."
Mr. Chen was so angry that he glared at Jia Cong again. Jia Cong finally noticed this time and looked at his father-in-law and nodded with a smile. Mr. Chen gritted his teeth and shouted to the defendant lawyer: "Explain!"
Roman said: "Defendant, please don't roar in court, just give me a warning."
Mr. Chen was so angry that he started to protest. The defendant lawyer hurriedly approached and whispered: "My lord! Do you really want to be kicked out?" Mr. Chen struggled to suppress his anger and sat down.
The defendant litigator looked at the article again and said bravely: "This article says that Master Xu and Mr. and Mrs. Yao are in harmony and have an unswerving love."
Just listen to Yao's leisurely saying: "That article is nonsense. Mr. Xu has a very weak relationship with the little girl. Otherwise, how could he want to divorce his wife just because he got a fan?"
The defendant litigator just said nothing and skipped "Yu Li" and went straight to "Yu Fa": "Although the law of our dynasty can file for divorce, there is no situation in this case. Therefore, according to the law, divorce cannot be done after an attempted divorce.
in accordance with."
Roman nodded when he heard this: "That's true. Our court's marriage law also includes petitions for divorce. For example, a wife betrays her husband and runs away, a husband forces his wife into prostitution, etc. There is no attempt to divorce the wife by clinging to the powerful."
There was an uproar below. A man from the defendant's side said angrily: "Who asked him to write this article! It's a bad thing!"
Another said: "This matter has been revealed! Let's discuss it again!"
Who is willing to expose it? Mrs. Yao stood up and sneered: "So, I, Yao Jiazhen, have been married into the Xu family for more than three years with three matchmakers and six betrothals. I have been close to my sister-in-law, served my aunt, and raised my son. I have never made any mistakes. On the contrary, I have suffered a lot.
He was bullied and humiliated by the Xu family, and he almost got divorced without any fault, but he can't file for divorce? Is this law reasonable?"
Immediately below, several loud voices shouted in unison: "Unreasonable! Unreasonable! Unreasonable——"
It is easy for everyone to follow the crowd. Seeing others shouting joy, and not knowing clearly the right and wrong of the case, it is clear which side the officials above are on, so more people followed and shouted: "Unreasonable - unreasonable - unreasonable."
It’s reasonable—” In the blink of an eye, everyone in the hall started shouting, and the voice got louder and louder.
Roman slapped his hand three times: "Quiet!" Seeing the smile on his lips, everyone fell silent. Roman stood up and turned to Jia Cong, Lin Daiyu and others, cupping their hands and saying, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister and all your lords. This case is clear and clear.
There is no need to go into details. It’s just that there is a real lack of legal basis. There is nothing the magistrate can do to rule in favor of the plaintiff.”
Immediately below, someone shouted: "The law is unfair!"
Immediately, someone shouted: "The law is unfair!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "The law is unfair!"
Jia Congnai stood up with his hands behind his hands, looking like he was about to speak. Everyone was quiet for a moment. Jia Congnai said: "Everyone is right. My court marriage law is really incomplete in this regard. However, it cannot be done.
Because the marriage law is not complete, it is illegal and the marriage is broken off."
Everyone was stunned. Just when they were about to argue loudly, Yao Jiazhen stood up first and said, "In this case, I dare to ask this little girl how to seek justice." Everyone immediately held their breath and listened attentively.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Wait."
Yao Jiazhen said loudly: "What are you waiting for? How long?"
Jia Cong left his seat, walked a few steps forward, and said to the people below him: "The marriage law is incomplete and even unfair. We have already discovered this problem. But is this the only one of the marriage laws that is incomplete? It's more than that.
At least there is another detail in Ms. Yao's case. Her husband's family wanted to snatch her daughter-in-law's dowry, and the daughter-in-law cut off her food and clothing supply because she refused to give it. She should also be divorced. Apart from these two things, is there anything else? There must be more. I believe that the king is here.
Every fellow countryman can cite examples. However, the law is the cornerstone of the country and must never be violated." He paused. The people below saw that he had not finished speaking and did not make any noise. Jia Cong did not get the chance to show off.
Chance continued, "However, the law can be corrected."
"Boom——" There was an uproar below.
Jia Cong had already walked up to the three presiding judges, picked up Roman's gavel tree and slapped it, "Pah!" He was like a kite entering the forest, and all the birds were mute. He said seriously, "Han Zi said, if things are not level, they will sing.
.However, things in the world are not absolutely fair. There are always injustices of one kind or another. Take today's case as an example. Yes, the Xu family committee is indeed unfair to Ms. Yao. Let's dig deeper, why is it unfair? Everyone, let's first treat Ms. Yao unfairly.
It’s the mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law of the Xu family’s inner courtyard. Ms. Yao can only endure these injustices because her husband Xu Ci did not come out to protect her." Jia Cong stopped pretending just now, and suddenly wanted to pretend once.
"Who dares to try to be unfair to my wife? I will set the three flavors of real fire on him and burn him to death!"
"Boom——" There was another uproar below.
Jia Cong was satisfied and started filming Jail again. "It's no wonder that Xu Ci treats Ms. Yao badly. He doesn't like this daughter-in-law at all. Ms. Yao was chosen by the Xu family and the Yao family, and Xu Ci himself was not consulted.
Opinion. Marrying a daughter-in-law you don’t like may not be too bad for her, but you will definitely not think of her if nothing happens. If Xu Ci marries the one she loves like this king, Grandma Xu may not
You know how to look for that woman? People are always bully and afraid of evil." Many people nodded, and Grandma Xu was trembling all over.
"Therefore, there are more than one things that are unfair and unreasonable in the marriage law. This king announces that the marriage law of Yan State will be supplemented and revised to make it perfect, reasonable and fair, so as to protect the rights and interests of kind and innocent ordinary people. Only
Only in this way can the law redress the grievances of the people, bring benefits to the people, protect the country and the people, and preserve the country for all generations."
"Okay!" Someone shouted loudly and started to applaud. Immediately, the whole hall applauded.
Jia Cong looked at Yao Jiazhen with a smile and said: "Ms. Yao, please wait for a while. After I amend the marriage law, you are welcome to file for divorce again."
Yao Jiazhen nodded with a smile: "Okay. I'll wait."
Jia Cong looked down at the people who were listening to the trial: "Everyone is welcome to come to hear the trial again when the time comes."
"Okay -" "We will definitely come -" the crowd shouted.
Someone in the defendant's camp stood up and wanted to speak, but was pulled by another to sit down. The man whispered: "Don't talk." He sighed softly and looked at his companions. "Just what Jia Cong said, the most important thing is that you
Did you notice it?"
Everyone was confused: "Isn't this a reform?"
The man shook his head and sighed again: "To protect the rights and interests of the kind and innocent people named Xun Chang."
