Chapter 82: The Dust Settles
Ma Ren's accusations were thus self-defeating, and the presiding judge read out the verdict, and Ma Shouhua was accused of abandoning his relatives, and the charge was not established.
For this obvious conclusion, I don't know how many people have put in a lot of effort, and even almost ended up in prison.
Yu Xunruo shook Ji Bingzhi's hand and shook it heavily, although there were a thousand words, it seemed that there was no way to speak.
"Ma Shouhua v. Ma Ren for the crime of obstructing reputation......" As the audience held their breath, the presiding judge continued to read in a high-pitched manner, "The crime is convicted!" and he was sentenced to six months in prison. ”
Yu Xunruo raised his fist even more excitedly, basking in this small victory.
Ji Bing's eyes flashed, and a voice in his heart shouted, as soldiers, they should never be ecstatic about trivial things as they are now, they should go to the battlefield and rejoice for real victory.
The various arguments that lingered in the auditorium were still not pleasant. But on this occasion, Li Fengzhu had nothing to do, so he had to take the lead in slapping and smashing those gossips one by one in his palm.
According to the procedure, if the parties have any objection to the judgment, they may express their position in court.
When Ma Ren heard that there was such a rule, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Boss, my wish is very simple, let Ma Shouhua himself come to court, and the villagers will judge this reason." For a countryman like me, no one listens or believes what he says. The person in charge says that we are wrong, and no matter how right it is, it is also wrong. I have lived to this age, and I can be regarded as living a clear understanding that I cannot trust anyone who has the power or money to study, I only believe in the countrymen who have been starving and suffering all their lives. Because people like us, no matter how poor we are, we can't be poor in ambition, let alone backbone!"
Several magistrates were tired of this scene of crying and selling miserably, and asked rhetorically: "According to your wishes, take a barefoot doctor into the city to judge your case, and you will believe it?"
Before the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.
Ma Ren pointed to the sky impassionedly and said, "What I want is a dignified and upright!"
Ji Bingzhi saw that the eyes of the chief judge slowly turned around, and immediately waved his hand and refused: "If the country wants to use talents in the future, there is only one front-line general who has experienced a hundred battles, and it is not me who does not agree." ”
The magistrates also thought that the facts were so clear that they could no longer hurt the meritorious people three or four times for a homeless homeless person.
Ma Ren ignored the more excessive demands: "I'm an old bone, maybe I'll go back one day." Don't say I don't remember my son's affairs, I don't even remember my own affairs. The judges and masters also embarrassed me, so simply, let Ma Shouhua come with me in person to stab the blood to distinguish the father and son! If our blood can't melt ......" Before he finished speaking, he was swallowed up by waves of ridicule.
The court exploded with a bang, almost not lifting the roof: "Judge, judge, hurry up and give a result, what's the matter......"
As the agent, Ye Jishi let it go and didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and it was not up to him to decide what to do next.
The noisy environment made Ji Bingzhi feel endless absurdity, and with a stomach full of anger and sadness, she stood up and signaled: "In court, I also have something to say." My client accepted the court's decision. But I want to take this opportunity, to take advantage of the presence of so many friends from the press, and to take advantage of the fact that so many people from Tianjin who are concerned about this case have come all the way to this place, and I want to say a few heart-wrenching words to the big guys. ”
When Li Fengzhu heard this, he hurriedly clenched the pen in his hand, like a soldier holding up a gun.
If it has nothing to do with the case, it should not have been said in court. Some of the five magistrates signaled the presiding judge to interrupt, but there were also those who objected. The reason is that there are reporters from Ta Kung Pao, and if a scandal like Guan Maocai is written, how can he explain it to the top?
Ji Bingzhi didn't care about the opinion of the pusher, even if she wasn't allowed to say it, she had to insist on saying it: "More than ten years ago, I wrote such a sentence in my reading notes - 'A warrior with shortcomings is a warrior after all, and a perfect fly is just a fly after all.'" Looking back on it now, I feel a lot of emotion. It is a heartfelt word, and if you don't vomit, you will not be happy. The so-called soldiers take it as their duty to protect their homes and defend the country. They resisted the invasion with their flesh and blood and kept the peace of the people. So the people revered them as 'heroes.'" What the hero thinks in his heart is to 'sacrifice his life to go to the country, and see death as if he were going home'. And some hecklers care about other people's accounts and kangs. In between, the superior judgment is made. Heroes have a spirit of serving the country and the people, even if they shed blood and sacrifice. This is the true character of a soldier, and it is also where the duty lies. It is their glory to shed blood, but what about tears?"
Her cross-examination echoed over the courtroom, and the questions were full of worries and clouds.
"To make heroes cry is actually our shame, our common shame! Those who will take revenge will be despised wherever they go. Personally, what about the nation?" Ji Bingzhi raised his arm and slapped it three times on the position of his heart, "I think that a nation that does not cherish heroes, and even watches the fire from the other side, sneers, and speaks ill of each other when heroes are framed by unwarranted means, does not deserve to enjoy peace! We can't even give people the least justice, so why should we ask them to protect each other with their lives?"
Because of this accusation, the originally noisy auditorium suddenly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Ji Bingzhi consciously walked towards Fang Xiaorou's seat: "But in return, heroes are human beings and not gods, and they should be respected but not deified." For ordinary people, their greatest significance is their charisma. Heroes also eat grains, and they are greedy, hateful, and obsessed, they are as ordinary as me. But heroes dare to shuttle in the rain of bullets and bullets, and dare to look down on life and death, so they are as great as gods! The coexistence of ordinariness and greatness in them shows us a truth, as long as we ourselves are not willing to be mediocre, there is no force that can stop us from being great. ”
Fang Xiaorou was burned by the seemingly hostile gaze that followed, and looked towards the exit in a hurry, finding that she was no longer allowed to enter and exit at will at this time. She spread her hands and asked Ji Bingzhi with her eyes why she was embarrassed in public.
Ji Bingzhi saw that Fang Xiaorou was only besieged by her eyes for a short time in the presence of hundreds of people, and she was already on pins and needles. I really don't know if she will feel the slightest guilt in her heart at this moment, for those who were pushed into the abyss by her irresponsible remarks.
"I would like to ask all of you present, who dares to say that he does not have the slightest fault in his body? Who cannot be perfect, but asks others to be flawless and not ashamed? Who is angry and will not say, 'The head has fallen and the bowl has a big scar,' but how many people can calmly join the army? Is it really not ashamed at all to scold others for winning rather than not winning others? I ask you to see clearly our current appearance, our country has reached a state of peril. At such a time of national calamity, if our hero dies in vain, then our nation will be completely hopeless! If the hero dies, who will take his gun, and who will be able to do his unfinished business for him?" Ji Bingzhi excitedly pointed to the spectators who used the courtroom as a stage, and asked in a loud voice, "Is it you, or you, or you?"
At this moment, the woman had already turned over and whimpered. As long as the righteousness is not lost, whoever hears this will inevitably shed tears for the future of the nation and the country.
Ji Bingzhi lowered his eyes and sighed bitterly: "In the end, I still want to borrow Mr. Lu Xun's words and give them to those villains who are secretly engaged in conspiracy." Then, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Ye Jishi and Ma Ren, smashed his fist in front of them, and roared through gritted teeth, "Go, flies! Although they have wings, they can still camp, and they will not surpass the soldiers." You worms!"
Li Fengzhu, who was infected, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly wrote the headline of "Heaven and Earth are heroic, and the autumn is still awe-inspiring" on the first line of the manuscript paper.
Even the magistrates who were sitting on the judgment seat, who should not have personal emotions, were also ignited with bursts of blood.
Ma Ren sat down on the ground in a distraction, and what awaited him would be a prison sentence. Although the sentence is not very long, judging by his age and health, I don't know if he will be able to get out alive.
Ye Jishi had a hunch that the public opinion of the newspaper today and tomorrow, or even for a longer period of time, would be unfavorable to him, and he had no intention of performing charity. He was thinking about what his office was worth, thinking about raising a sum of money to go to Nanyang, so as to uncover the history of Jinmen.
###
The case finally came to an end, and most of the citizens of Tianjin who had been inspired by it believed that returning home to clarify Ma Shouhua's personality to relatives and friends was the best way to save the country.
Therefore, no one surrounded the exit like the previous two times to prevent people from passing, except for the reporters who were responsible for their duties, there were only a few sparse and scattered officials. As for the enthusiastic Professor Jia, after touching the nail twice, he also knew that Ma Shouhua didn't like the big scene of crowd emotion, so this time he changed a restrained way to support. Behind him stood two representatives of the student union, holding a festive red cloth flag, on which was pasted paper, and the words "Defend the Heroes" were written on the paper. Seeing Ji Bingzhi walking out slowly, through the reporter's long gun and short cannon, Professor Jia waved his hand from afar, ordering the two students to hold the flag high and shout a few times, "Discipline Master, Secretary Yu". When Ji Bingzhi heard this, he also smiled slightly.
There were many reporters who asked questions, but Ji Bingzhi took special care of Li Fengzhu in his eyes. Everyone will also understand, and ask her to ask first.
"A disciplinary officer, according to Article 325 of Chapter 26 of the Criminal Law of the Republic of China, who accuses or preaches a person who intends to disseminate to the public and denigrates matters that are sufficient to damage the reputation of others shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not more than six months, criminal detention, or a fine of not more than 500 yuan. Judging by the results, the maximum penalty for defamation has been reached. But given Ma Ren's high age, if he proposes to replace his prison sentence with financial compensation, will General Ma agree?"
Some reporters just went to the scene to ask questions, and they didn't have much preparation for desk work, let alone digging through any legal codes. Hearing her ask such a detailed question, he hurriedly poked his head out and rushed to her notes, and quickly copied down the most difficult chapters and articles.
