Chapter 299: A Criminal Case
When she came out of "Beauty Drunk", Yao'er was very tired, and this tiredness was spiritual tiredness. She was in the army when she first entered the court, and she was relatively simple in the army, saying what to say and doing things straightforwardly, and rarely like to be cautious and tentative, trying to figure it out on the side, and confessing around the corner like civil officials.
Following the customs, she can only communicate with Sun Yi and Yan Hexi in the same way, and her too straightforward means will make these two people treat her as a stunned young man without a city government, and they will be scared and leave.
Although she was a little tired, she was still very satisfied when she walked out of the "beauty drunk", and today's banquet completely achieved its goal. If you want to show such a hand, it is impossible to let Sun Langzhong and Yan Langzhong bow their heads, not to mention that Cui Liangyu is now more powerful than her, not to mention that there is an ambiguous Xia Shilang on her head.
As long as Sun Yi and Yan Hexi remain neutral under normal circumstances, it is enough for her to express her support a little at the critical moment. If she wants to establish authority in Kou Qing's palace, the most effective way is to challenge Cui Liangyu's authority, which is also the only way.
……
Time flies, and more than ten days have passed.
Early this morning, in Xia Shilang's meeting room, the four divisions were sitting in the main hall, Xia Ru was sitting at the top, and Wei Chunchun, the secretary of Kouqing Palace, was sitting at the bottom, reading the case weakly.
This is the rule of Kou Qing Palace, every ten years will be Kou Qing Palace trial of all kinds of cases above the death penalty level will be brought out, by the Kou Qing Palace main hall together with the chief officials of each department for deliberation, if any official feels that which case is inappropriate, can be raised in the court. Everyone's review. If Kou Qinggong or more than half of the judges raise objections, the case will have to be rehearsed.
This is a summary of the routine of the ten-year public service, in fact, the chief of each department is responsible for his own share. It is rare to point fingers at other people's official duties, and if someone asks for extrajudicial favors, and has already communicated privately with the official in charge of the case, who will make a fuss at a public meeting?
Therefore, this is a meaningless summary meeting, since Yao'er arrived at Kou Qing Palace, she has participated in this kind of meeting twice. Every time I didn't say a word. However, the same is true for others, and it is usually a priest who reads the case over again. As if they hadn't woken up, the chiefs of the divisions neither shook nor nodded.
As the main hall of Kou Qing Palace, Xia Ru would sometimes ask a few questions, and several Lang Zhong would say, "The lower officials have no objections." Xia Ru will ask someone to continue reading the next one. This kind of non-nutritious thing. Even several other officials of Kou Qing Palace didn't bother to participate, so they naturally handed over this errand to Wei Chunchun, who had the least authority.
This is the third meeting that Yao'er has attended, and she decided to challenge Cui Liangyu today. The day before yesterday, she had carefully studied all the death penalty case files handled by Wei Chunchun in the past ten years, and the breakthrough point she chose was the case of Beishifang ordering the sand stick to kill a civilian Wei Datong.
The sand is the North City Fang Order in the three cities of Lin'an, don't underestimate this official who has never entered the product. The management of Fang City is full of oil and water, and it is impossible to get such a fat difference without a background. Yao'er has already checked. The backstage of the sand is a member of the ministry.
Wei Datong had a quarrel with a guy in a store when he was shopping in Beishi, and that store had a lot to do with the sand, the sand was used as a workshop order to maintain order, Wei Datong was not a good stubble, he actually scolded, the sand was furious, ordered someone to take him down, a stick, and was killed on the spot.
Involving human life, this is a case of death penalty or above, but the result of Kou Qinggong Chen Langzhong's handling is "acquittal", on the grounds that the sand body is a workshop order, and has the responsibility to maintain the order of the transaction. Wei Datong resisted the fang order and disturbed the peace, and the sand was punished with a cane, Wei Datong was weak, and the severity of the cane was different, so he died.
Therefore, although the sand was suspected of improper punishment, it was neither intentional homicide nor manslaughter, and was not sanctioned because of the performance of official duties. And the reason why the exoneration was successfully passed was that the sufferer did not pursue it is also the main reason. In this regard, Yao'er has already made an unannounced visit, knowing that the wife of the deceased Wei Dayu received a lot of money from the other party, so she "made private peace".
According to the law of Great Qi, private harmony is also a crime. Turning Wei Dayu's case over, he can also touch the official outsider behind his back, this battle, he challenged not only Cui Liangyu's authority, but also involved the officials of the ministry, as long as the battle is successful, she can pick Cui Liangyu off the horse and establish her authority in Kou Qing's palace.
Kou Qinggong is in charge of the criminal law, and if you want to establish authority here, of course, you must work the law. Just as the military neutrality is mighty, it is as good as the military exploits.
Yao'er is ready to attack!
Wei Chunchun's hypnotic voice continued, without inhibition or frustration.
He hadn't read the case of Fang Ling's sand cane killing civilian Wei Datong, but at the moment he was reading a case of a mother-in-law beating her daughter-in-law.
Because he hadn't waited for the case he used to make trouble, Yao'er was also like other officials, looking at his nose and nose, as if he was dozing. But if she didn't listen, a sentence suddenly drifted into her ears: "Chang Zhiyuan, the son of the deceased, said that on the night of Qixi Festival, he accompanied his mother to Dingding Long Street, and he was harassed by this man surnamed Ximen, and his father owed huge gambling debts, which were also owned by the man surnamed Ximen......"
Yao'er was clever, and suddenly pricked up her ears, Wei Chunchun continued to speak weakly, Yao'er only listened to the second half, and already understood the general meaning, it seems that it is a man named Chang Lin, marrying a wife Cheng, Cheng's lady is a small character Yunni, this Cheng lady's beautiful appearance has aroused the covetousness of a man surnamed Ximen.
So the man surnamed Ximen took advantage of Chang Lin's gambling addiction to lure him into a huge debt, and then forced him to give his wife, Chang Lin was unable to repay the gambling debt, so he went home and sued the lady to know, who knew that the Cheng lady was a very fierce woman, and would rather die than obey. This Chang Lin knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't dare to force his wife, so the man surnamed Ximen sent a group of scoundrels to come to the door every day to ask for debts, harass and smash.
Chang Lin's mother learned that it was her daughter-in-law who traveled on the long street at night on Qixi Festival, which caused the man surnamed Ximen to covet it, so she caused so many troubles, so she scolded her daughter-in-law for being a broom star and a fox spirit, and harmed her baby son. This old woman is also a very rude mother-in-law, and after a beating, she actually hit the key point and beat her daughter-in-law to death.
This time it became a homicide case, and the fang reported to Lin'an Mansion, and Lin'an Mansion was able to judge it simply, and sentenced the old woman to pay for her life, but the case above the exile sentence had to be reviewed by Kou Qing Palace, and the case was reported to Kou Qing Palace.
However, the chief of the department, Shi Cui Liangyu, disagreed with this case, and his verdict was: "Respect and inferiority, not fight." And the old woman has a son under her knees, and the deceased is the wife of her son, and it is not filial piety to kill her mother because of her wife. Therefore, the sentence was reduced by one degree, which was exile, and because the old woman was old, once exiled to another place was tantamount to death, it would violate the original intention of reducing the crime by one degree. Therefore, he was further reduced by one degree and sentenced to imprisonment, and sentenced to two years of labor in Sinong Monastery to atone for his crimes. (To be continued......)
