Because the starting point of Cui Liangyu's judgment is to make a fuss about filial piety, and filial piety is an avenue that must be followed from the king to the hundred officials and even all the people in the world, and it is the cornerstone of ethics and morality, so Xia Ru has no objections, and has already done a preliminary review.

Wei Chunchun finished reading the case and raised his face slightly. I took a sip of water from my cup and moistened my throat first.

Xia Shilang waited for a while. Seeing everyone speak, he coughed and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Xiaguan wants to see the file again!"

Because this case was concluded by Cui Liangyu, he didn't have to express his position, Pi Huan, Sun Yi, and Yan Hexi were just about to give up, and said according to the usual practice: "The lower officials have no objections!" Yao'er had already opened her mouth first.

In such a routine meeting, it is extremely rare to really raise objections to a case. And it turned out to be Yao'er who raised the objection, and it was the second "heroine" recognized by the entire Kou Qing Palace as not learning and unskilled, Xia Ru couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

Wei Chunchun was also a little surprised: "It's not this case that Changshi has selected in advance to be used to make trouble!" Didn't I talk to Changshi about it, why did I change the hexagram temporarily? ”

He looked at Yao'er with some confusion, but Yao'er was mistaken.

Yao'er smiled kindly at him and said slowly, "Secretary Wei, please read the file with me." ”

"Huh? Oooh, yes......"

In front of the directors of the departments, Wei Chunchun couldn't squeeze his eyebrows and hint to him, so he had to hold the file and send it to him.

The dossier was opened, and Haruka turned to the first page. I took a closer look.

Cui Liangyu saw her behaving like this, and her eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly. And Pi Huan glanced at Xia Ru, who was expressionless. However, after looking at Cui Liangyu, who was a little uncomfortable, and then at Yao'er, who was looking down at the dossier seriously, a look of realization flashed slightly in his eyes.

Whether it is Cui Liangyu or Yao'er, they are all obstacles for him to take charge of Kouqing Palace, but Cui Liangyu has a deep foundation in Kouqing Palace, and Yao'er has many backers. With Xia Ru's courage, he didn't have the courage to start an all-out war with them, and now that these two tigers are going to fight. Xia Ru is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, gently stroked his beard without saying a word, and when Pi Huan saw this, he also had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Sun Yi and Yan Hexi glanced at each other. Both of them looked a little playful.

The room was quiet. Occasionally, there would be a "coo-dong" sound, but it was the sound of Wei Chunchun drinking water.

Wei Chunchun didn't expect that his saliva would be so clear at this time, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

There is no mention of the disposition of the man surnamed Simon in this file, which is helpless. If you really want to investigate, there is no way to investigate it, Ximen Yi is not fake for molesting Cheng Niangzi on the street, but she is not violent on the street. How to deal with it? After that, he was lustful, and set up a gambling game to attract Chang Lin into the game. The intention is very obvious, but he didn't break the law, this is a willingness to beat, a willingness to suffer, he didn't come to the door to force rape after all, right?

There was only one person killed in this case, but it was the most innocent woman, who was interested in harming others and wandering on the edge of criminal law; Those who are addicted to gambling and who are tricked by others cannot be punished although they are hateful; And the old woman was obviously extremely cunning, blindly favoring her son, but she was angry with her innocent daughter-in-law and beat her to death.

Such a fresh life, such a venerable woman, died like this!

How innocent that woman was!

How unjust is this way of heaven!

A cloud of anger burned in Yao'er's heart, she "snapped" the dossier, raised her head, and said solemnly to Xia Ru: "Shilang, the lower officials think that it is really unfair for Cui Langzhong to be so disposed of!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, all four were shocked.

Sun Yi and Yan Hexi didn't know that Yao'er was going to make trouble today, and they didn't know what the breakthrough she chose was, but after "the beauty was drunk", they knew that Yao'er would attack Cui Liangyu sooner or later, and when they heard it at this moment, their eyes suddenly lit up: "It's finally started!" ”

They were trying to see what Haruka could do.

And Wei Chunchun is the only one who knows that Yao'er has chosen which case to use to attack Cui Liangyu, so he also helped Yao'er find a law book with sufficient arguments, and asked Yao'er to memorize it carefully, and use this law as the basis for refutation.

Wei Chunchun was so anxious that he coughed again and again, but Yao'er turned a deaf ear, which caused Cui Liangyu to look at him meaningfully, Wei Chunchun's heart was cold, and he didn't dare to speak.

Xia Shilang stroked his beard slowly and methodically, and asked softly: "I don't know what the long history thinks, what is wrong with Cui Lang's case?" ”

Haruka has not been idle at home these days, and the only thing she does every night is to memorize the various cases and jurisprudence that she may encounter and can often encounter within the scope of her duties.

She could not think of the various laws that had been forcibly written down in her mind, and when she needed to use specific related laws, she still needed to think in her mind about the gates of this type of law, and then refine them to some specific legal provisions.

She knew that this was her own shortcoming, so when she had just turned over the file for the most part, she still pretended to read the file carefully, and was actually already thinking about the laws that could be used. At this time, Xia Ruyi asked, and Yao'er immediately replied: "According to Qi Law, the first paragraph of the section on fighting lawsuits: If the elder beats the inferior and the injured are injured, the mortal will be reduced to one level; Small work and big work are reduced by one level. Those who are beaten to death shall be hanged by each elder. ”

Yao'er recited this law that happened to apply word for word, and then said: "According to the law, if the old woman of the Chang family beats her daughter-in-law or even disables her, because she is the elder, she can reduce the crime by one degree." But according to the law, whoever causes his death should be hanged, even if he is a superior person! Therefore, Cui Langzhong's verdict, the lower officials thought it was very inappropriate! ”

Xia Ru squinted her eyes slightly, and after listening to Yao'er's words, her eyes showed a slight hint of color, they all knew how Yao'er was a member and how she achieved a long history, so they never thought that she actually knew the law.

Xia Ru looked at her seriously as if she had seen Yao'er for the first time. Only then did he turn to Cui Liangyu and asked, "Cui Langzhong, what do you say?" ”

When Fang Cai Yao'er spoke. Cui Liangyu has not been silent.

It's not that Cui Liangyu is still calm in the face of the questioning of a junior and a layman in the law, but because this is the rule.

Yao'er's statement is a question of him, whether it is questioning or impeachment, as long as the chief is present, the other party's words are said to the chief, then the other party will finish speaking. He could not immediately refute the Chief's questioning.

It's the same in the court, if there is a royal history to sue you. You can only listen from the sidelines, even if all he says is nonsense that does not exist at all, and you can only be quiet until he finishes and the king asks. You can't talk about it halfway. You just jumped out with a "whoosh", blushing and spitting at each other.

Taking advantage of the time of Yao'er's statement, Cui Liangyu was also anxiously thinking about the wording.

At this time, how could he still not understand that Yao'er had been pretending to be a pig for nearly a month, and now he was going to start eating tigers. Therefore, Cui Liangyu's reaction was also extremely cautious.

Cui Liangyu thought about it carefully, and arched his hand to Xia Ru and said, "Squire, if the lower official makes this judgment, if you look at it from the law alone." Naturally, there is something wrong. However, ......, Xia Guan has been in the Department of Justice for many years. How can you not even be familiar with such a law? The judgment was made by the lower officials after careful consideration. ”

Xia Ru smiled slightly and said, "You speak!" ”

Cui Liangyu glanced at Yao'er contemptuously and said, "The law is nothing more than human affection. This case is not a simple homicide case, but a mother-in-law who disciplined her daughter-in-law and shot too hard, resulting in death. From the perspective of filial piety, the relationship between parents is greater than the relationship between husband and wife. In this case, Chang Lin has lost his wife, and if he kills his mother because of his wife, isn't this against nature and filial piety? Moreover, Chang Lin's mother had no murderous intentions, but it was a mistake, and she was old, so the next official sentenced her to reduce her guilt by one degree. ”

He smiled. added another sentence lightly: "This case has been submitted to the squire, since the squire has approved the judgment of the lower official, I believe he also understands the painstaking efforts of the lower official to promote filial piety!" ”

Xia Ru stroked his beard, smiled noncommittally, turned to Yao'er again, and asked, "What does Changshi think of Cui Langzhong's explanation?" ”

Yao'er said calmly: "Xiaguan thinks it's ridiculous! ”

"Oh?"

Xia Ru laughed twice and said, "Tell me your truth!" ”

Yao'er said: "The law is nothing more than human feelings. The lower officials completely agree with this. Advocating filial piety, this is fully agreed! However, the lower officials believe that the relationship between favors is not the same as the abuse of favors. Advocating filial piety, not in the name of filial piety, do things that are against humanity and do things that are against humanity. Otherwise, it is pseudo-filial piety! ”

If you simply talk about the law, Yao'er's understanding of jurisprudence cannot surpass that of Cui Liangyu, who has been working in the judiciary for most of his life, but when it comes to the benefits of the tongue. She is not under the other party at all, the big hole dug by the other party. was gently and skillfully bypassed by her words.

The "pit" dug by the other party is "filial piety".

Look at the fact that the dignity of the law is inviolable all day long, has it been done? What was the situation more than 1,000 years ago? It is a pure society ruled by man, and power is greater than law! And these people who hold power put filial piety at the head of all virtues.

If Yao'er is a legal fighter and shouts that the law is inviolable, since the law stipulates that she should be hanged, then the old woman will resolutely not let it go, then she can pack up and go home, this lawsuit is fought in front of Tian Qiniang, and she can't think of winning. Which is the life and death of an old woman, the maintenance of filial piety, and the promotion of filial piety?

Yao'er said: "Judging from the confession of the Chang family, Mrs. Cheng is not at fault, it is a man surnamed Ximen who deliberately designs a trap, and it is Chang Lin himself who is addicted to gambling and owes a huge debt, but the old woman of the Chang family is angry with her daughter-in-law and beats an innocent woman to death!" ”

Speaking of this, Yao'er felt miserable.

She got the murder case that Kou Qinggong had reviewed the day before yesterday, and this case was concluded yesterday, so this case was not included in the case file she got in advance, she only knew about such a murder case at this time, thinking that a poor woman was innocent and wronged, and was beaten to death by her unreasonable mother-in-law, her mood was agitated, and it was difficult to calm down.

Yao'er arched his hand and said: "Squire, whether you are a parent will never commit a crime, or can you kill your children for life?" I don't have this in the law of Daqi. There are no parents in the world, that is for their children. It is Chang Lin who should practice filial piety, so Chang Lin does not tell him, that is human nature. Chang Lin's son Chang Zhiyuan sued his grandmother for beating his mother, which is also human nature.

And this case was indignant by the people in the community, sued Fang Zheng and Wuhou, and then reported to Lin'an Mansion by them, which has nothing to do with Chang Lin and his son Chang Zhiyuan. What is the Division? Why did the imperial court set up a legal department? Isn't it just to manage the injustices of the world? Isn't it to appeal to the law for grievances that the people cannot resolve on their own, and the court will give them justice? Cui Langzhong is not the son of the arrogant old woman, who is he doing filial piety for? And with the life of the Cheng family's lady, who is generous! ”

Yao'er put her sleeves up, and her voice shook the roof tiles: "Therefore, the lower officials think that Cui Langzhong's false name of filial piety has caused innocent people to die in vain, and the punishment is unfair, and he should be retried!" ”

Yao'er's words were loud and sound, and the last few words faintly had the sound of gold and stone, which pierced people's hearts. As soon as she spoke, everyone in the council hall was moved, and in the silence, no one was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Xia Rucai took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Cui Langzhong and Changshi have their own words, and this official is not easy to be arbitrary. Let's discuss this case...... Reconsideration? ”

Cui Liangyu sat there, sneering and showing a slight disdain.

Yao'er's words sound quite touching, but the people present are all bureaucrats who have been up and down in the sea for many years, not those street people who have no knowledge. In officialdom, which person does not first put the word "profit" in the middle of the matter and weighs it again and again?

Will anyone agree with Haruka?

Haruka? What's that! Will someone risk offending him to side with Yao'er?

Cui Liangyu gently pursed the corners of his mouth, picked up the water cup on the desk, the water was warm, it was not hot, he still blew a few times, then raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Yao'er lightly, the taste of provocation was extremely strong.

"Ahem!"

Sun Yi coughed lightly and said, "Squire, according to the lower officials, since this case is still controversial, you might as well ...... Retrial and first trial! ”

Cui Liangyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with some surprise: "This wall grass, how can you have an opinion today?" ”

Sun Yi smiled, with a harmless expression on his face, as if he was playing a round.

That day, he had already seen Yao'er's connections, and he had already calculated clearly. At this time, help Yao'er say a word, for Yao'er, it is a charcoal in the snow. If Yao'er can become a trend, he will have many friends and many paths.

Now Cui Liangyu has the upper hand, if he stands on Cui Liangyu's side, it will be just the icing on the cake, at most he will turn around and change Cui Liangyu for a good face, what else can he get? If Yao'er helps Yao'er play a round at this time and Yao'er still loses, because today's move is not as significant to Cui Liangyu as it is to Yao'er, it is just that it will not be very harmonious in the future, so it will not anger Cui Liangyu too much.

Yan Hexi is a plan with him. just hesitated a little in his heart, and was preempted by Sun Yi. When he opened his mouth again, it was impossible for him to be as calm and light as Sun Yi, so he was a little annoyed in his heart. He didn't know that the reason why Sun Yi spoke first was because he drank Yao'er's free wine at noon every day, and he was a little embarrassed to hide behind.

He coughed twice with his mouth covered, and also said to Xia Ru: "Squire, human life is related to the sky, and the officials think." For the sake of prudence, it is good to retry the trial. ”

In addition to Xia Ru is squire, there are a total of five langs here. Now Yao'er and Cui Liangyu have clearly stated their attitudes, Sun Yike and Yan Hexi have agreed to the retrial, and three of the Wulang have agreed to the retrial, no matter whether Pi Huan expresses his position or not, this case is destined to be retried.

Pi Huan really didn't want to express his position, he was Xia Ru's person, the fight between Yao'er and Cui Liangyu, in his opinion, was a dog-eat-dog, it didn't matter who bit who killed someone, it was best for the two of them to finish at the same time.

Xia Ru was secretly shocked in her heart: "This Yao'er, what a good means!" When did I actually woo Sun Yi and Yan Hexi to go over and share her breath, I didn't even notice it. ”

Xia Ru secretly cautioned, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then this case will be retried!" (To be continued......)
