The statement written by the lawyer is much better than that of ordinary Xiucai. The focus is clear, the wording is clear, and the official can understand it at a glance! - Well, at that time, many officials and masters were actually not very capable. It's nothing more than being admitted to the Eight Stocks, and the cultural foundation is passable, and the cold window for ten years has been laying this foundation! Suddenly sent to a strange place as an official, a sister-in-law with a cloak and a hair-covered haircoat pulled a bloodstained uncle to the door of the yamen and cried: Kill, kill, kill! Uncle shouted injustice: It's not me, it's me! Blue Sky Mingjian! I'm chicken blood!

You blue sky. You hold ten thousand volumes of sage books, how can you break them?

Oh yes, forensic science was not developed at that time. Whether the blood is a chicken or a dog, a beast or a man, it cannot be detected at all.

In the unlikely event that your torturers return in vain, and you can't find any other conclusive evidence, you have no choice but to testify freely: whoever you think is more reasonable, you will sentence whomever you want.

The lawyer wrote well, and persuaded the official master to have a preconceived idea, and the official master patted his head after being entangled: Then it is probably reasonable on your side!

The lawyer can ask the client more information about the amount of money he has to write.

There is a famous example of a gangster who saw a woman sick in bed, a poor house, no curfew, the door panel was not covered, it was just a small dilapidated house. He barged in and somehow got a little bit of it. Looking back, the woman died, and the only piece of jewelry was a bracelet on her wrist, which was also missing, and was later found on the gangster's body.

That's it! How do you say it's good?

The thugs said that when he entered, the man was sick and dead. He saw that a bracelet had fallen to the ground and was out of place. There were no obvious injuries on the woman's corpse, except for slight bruises on her hands. Remember, forensic medicine is still not developed enough to detect how a woman died. Do you believe the words of the gangsters? The woman was sick and died. The gangster is greedy for cheapness, you should reprimand him a little and let him go. and not with them to be imprisoned.

It happened that someone had a grudge against this gangster, so he bought a lawyer and wrote a good pleading.

The lawyer first sued the gangster for "revealing the bracelet that was robbed", that is, he snatched the bracelet while he was still alive. This. There are slight bruises on the hands of the dead bodies as support. It's not for nothing! If the official accepts this, he can put the gangsters in prison.

Who knew that the lawyer was suddenly ordered by some master, and he suddenly opened his mouth and changed the order of the words. It becomes "the bracelet and the quilt". Sue this bastard for insulting behavior!

Oops. Maybe it was this obscene act that caused the woman to become sick and angry, and die?

The official master proved his free heart. I think it's a big possibility. How do you decide? Know that the dead are great! The gangsters are indeed suspicious, and the deceased is very pitiful, so let the gangsters go into exile to comfort the dead! Anyway, the gangsters had bad deeds before they were alive, and they were not wronged if they were exiled. What if the deceased was really killed by him? The official didn't want to indulge the gangsters, and he was turned around and was brought to the court by ghosts to settle accounts.

In this way, the gangsters went from "you can also be released with a little reprimand" to the exile of iron and iron for 800 miles. The lawsuit is indispensable.

The problem is that the lawyer is not a god either. They don't necessarily get all the statements right. In case a new piece of evidence, a confession, or something comes out, the official looks back and thinks: Hey, it's all the lawyer who coaxed me!

Yes, it's not the official's fault. It's all the lawyer's responsibility!

I can't help but be angry, and find a way to collect the lawyer's bones!

If something goes wrong with the lawyer's pleading, the end will be quite miserable.

This was the case with the so-called "rule of law" at the time. That's the status of a lawyer. What kind of TV is there in later generations, saying that a certain person with iron teeth and steel teeth will talk and fight with people in front of the court? Alas! him!

In ancient times, there were really some people who could make adjustments between the government and the people, alleviate contradictions and uphold justice to a certain extent. But they are by no means lawyers, but clan elders and local squires.

These elders and squires have a certain status in the local area, that is, they have vested interests in the local area, which gives them the motivation to maintain local order. Order is based on righteousness. If injustice accumulates too much, order collapses. Thus the elder squires had the will to maintain justice, at least on the surface.

At the same time, the elder squires were often literate. At that time, I couldn't read any messy books, and after reading them, I couldn't find the north. No, no, at that time, I wanted to read to you, from the thousand-character text, the disciple rules, to the four books and five classics, which were full of the principles of being a human being. After reading it, it is inevitable to be a little impregnated. The desire to govern the country and secure the people, more and less, will always be there. This also makes them interested in meddling.

In addition, they are rich and powerful people's genes and upbringing, IQ, knowledge, etc., it is very likely that they are still a little higher than others, and they have a lot of family members to call on and have investigation funds. They are likely to find more evidence. Some people are also willing to give them information rather than to the government.

These elders and squires, after the investigation is completed, they can call the parties over. They can give a more pertinent suggestion to promote reconciliation between the two parties. Unless it is a criminal case that is too vicious, it will be mediated.

In the long run, the elders and squires formed a soft government in the local area. When people are in trouble, they will be more willing to turn to this soft center of power for help.

Soft centers of power can also become corrupt and lose their justice. For example, a young master your daughter, and the squire is his own father, where do you go to ask for mediation? Maybe he has a good conscience and will give you more money and persuade you to forget it. Or he will tear off his face and bite your daughter to get his young master, what should you do - well, you can still go to the government to complain and try!

If you can break through the dog's leg and chase and intercept, and rush to the yamen.

It sounds hard, but at least there's hope! Think about it, if the yamen is corrupt, you are even more hopeless, aren't you?

It is said that there was a second stunned man who went to the market to sell melons. Someone wanted to forcibly occupy his melon, so he thought of an idea, saw that his chin was long, grabbed him and scolded: "You stole my shoehorn and put it on your face!" You've got to pay me! Otherwise, go to the official! The two stunned men were frightened, so they compensated him for the melon. When I went back to tell my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law was angry: "Whose face is a shoehorn!" Even if the official is afraid of something! Even if it's dark and you want to pay him for his shoehorn, it's not expensive. What are you giving him the melon for! ”

The second stunned pouted and said, "What if the government wants to take my chin off for inspection?" What do you mother-in-law know? My face is no more expensive than two melons! ”

The mother-in-law was so angry that she couldn't speak.

This story is told as a joke. But it's really not wrong to be stunned. As soon as I entered the official mansion, my eyes were black, and my feet were as deep as the sea, and I was worse than pulling out my chin, but there are all kinds of things! It's always right to stay away.

Yun Jian took the initiative to let go of his control over the Chamber of Commerce, which was really a way out.

In the past, the soft power center of the people was only in the hands of the clan squires. Now, for the first time, Yunjian has made it clear that it can be given to the Chamber of Commerce.

The clan squire is nothing more than a projection of the court among the people. They spur their children to study and hope that their children will enter the ranks. They were also used by court officials to govern the localities. Some of their relatives are officialdom figures, and some may be elderly officials themselves. Just like Xie Xiaoheng. There is no essential difference between power in their hands and in the hands of officials. The imperial court generally only needs to guard against too much power dispersion and downward shift.

And the essence of the Chamber of Commerce is completely different from that of the clan squire. Allowing chambers of commerce to govern themselves outside the criminal law violates the principle of "valuing agriculture and suppressing business."

"What can I do?" Yun Jian shrugged lightly: "You guys did a good job in Dongbin, I can only admit the facts." ”

"Not afraid?" Lin Dai also teased him.

The reason why the principle of "valuing agriculture and suppressing business" was put forward was because people of insight at that time believed that businessmen did not actually produce things, but moved things around. First, only the Son of Heaven has the right to dispatch the world's materials, and the merchants are arrogatory. Second, the excessive mobility of businessmen is also detrimental to public security.

"It's fine." Yun Jian blinked, "You are kicking in your territory, and when you go to the Central Plains, you still have to abide by the rules of the Central Plains." If you kick yourself out, I'm here to clean you up. ”

"Then we must be careful." Lin Dai said solemnly.

"Then complete the bet." Butterfly Xiaohua seemed to be a little tired again, leaned on the tree next to her, yawned, and said.

That's right, bet! When Lin Dai could achieve it, Yun Jian gave the two powers promised to Dongbin.

Of course Lin Dai can achieve it.

She wrenched her fingers and said, "Congratulations to the general." The first one, these yarns are flawed, and they must have been ruined by the Rong people when they were here. This kind of yarn, in fact, is the most useless, it can only look good, it is a little unsightly, can it still be worn out as a skirt? Make clothes and don't block the wind, and make a clip that doesn't fit it, but it's good to paste the lamp. The lantern requirements are not so high. That's used up, and decent. The second thing is that if you use so many workers, you can pay them, and they can go to buy things, and the market will be revitalized. This is more festive than sending disaster relief directly, and it can be given to people who are truly skilled and useful to society. The third thing, after the war, the people's hearts are panicked, you put up a lamp market like this, and the peaceful atmosphere is back. The scattered heart is withdrawn again. ”

As she spoke, it was getting late, and the hour was coming, and the lanterns were lit from afar, as if someone had scattered the stars all the way, but they had not yet reached them.

They are still in darkness here. It's not entirely true to say black. It is a soft and delicate gray, soft and softly melted down.

Yun Jian smiled and nodded to Lin Dai, but said, "Sure enough, I didn't guess everything." ”

Lin Dai looked back at the butterfly smile and said worriedly: "Cold? Why don't you go back to your room and get some rest? ”

Butterfly Xiaohua shook her head and said, "It's not necessary, I'll just sit there." (To be continued......)
