Chapter 36: Judgment (II)
The case of a slave and maid of Qi who accidentally injured the envoy of Zhenla was tried jointly by Liu Jizong, the official city manager of the city who represented the king of Zhancheng, the monk who represented the temple, and Wang Lun, the envoy who represented the Great Qi.
The name of the monk representing the temple is strangely pronounced, presumably meaning Shiva's servant or something.
Nowadays, the Champa official has also begun to use writing to record things and publish official documents, using the Daqi script, this monk, Qi Wen is called "Shiva Nu".
Speaking of which, the Zhenla people, who were once lost in the long river of history because they did not have a written record of their history, can only be interpreted by murals, and the Cham people who recorded things in the abbreviated text of Nantianzhu in India, now because of the deep contact with Daqi, I think that future generations will record their history very clearly.
Today, Lu Ning appeared for the first time in this "yamen".
In fact, this is Liu Jizong's residence, a row of wooden houses, and the more spacious one was selected as the place to try the case.
Shiva Nu is thin and thin, at first glance it looks like a skeleton, and the whole body is naked, really naked, there is no leaf on the body to cover the body, this is the so-called Tianyi faction, in the later generations into the era of civilization, this faction also used a small cloth strip to cover the sensitive parts at most, and it is indeed a loyal fan of Shiva God.
The slogan of respecting the beliefs of the outside world, Lu Ning will not shout, and it is not in line with this era.
But the officials and people of Daqi, who can walk overseas, will never see this form and reprimand him sharply, but Wang Lun glanced at Shiva's eyes, and he was full of contempt, so he didn't say anything to him.
Lu Ning was not too surprised, and he solemnly saluted Shiva slaves.
Shiva Nu was very surprised, the whites of Gu Jing Bubo's eyes moved as if he was a dead man, and he glanced at Lu Ning deeply.
Lu Ning has sincere respect for these truly devout cultivators, no matter how absurd their behavior may seem to different cultures, as long as they do not harm others, and only restrain their own penance, then they deserve respect.
This case is coming to an end, after all, we can't skip Lu Ning's counter-appeal against the Minister of Pork, Badra Bamo, after all, there must be an explanation, right? Today, Lu Ning and Badra Patma were invited.
But? Badra Patma has appeared at the yamen since yesterday to give advice, and today he took the initiative to come.
Furthermore? Because it involves the issue of compensation to the Chenla Mission? Suryavarman, the prince of Ijinla, was also invited.
Lu Ning looked at him a few more times, a young man in his twenties? His eyes were lowered, and he sat there not knowing what to ponder.
The first party, Qu Guo, naturally arrived? Standing beside Lu Ning.
Present? There is also a Qi interpreter who is proficient in the local language and one who is proficient in the Zhenla language.
"In this case, regarding the incident of Wen Zhengyi's slave Qu Guo accidentally injuring the envoy of Zhenla, after the collegial discussion of the three parties, Wen Zhengyi was sentenced to be grounded as a slave for five years? This judgment was in effect in the states of Champa, Daqi, and all the states of Daqi. ”
It was Liu Jizong who pronounced the sentence? It means that from now on, Qu Guo can only follow Lu Ning's side, and cannot go to the street casually, of course, if it is outside the territory where diplomatic relations have not yet occurred in Daqi, there is no problem of grounding.
Have the interpreters translated to the people they need to hear? Liu Jizong said: "In addition, Wen Zhengyi needs to pay a certain amount of bereavement and funeral expenses to the Zhenla Mission. "Looking up at Lu Ning and Prince Zhenla? said: "The specific number, the clerk should know it in his heart, right?" ”
After all, there are three forces involved? It's not really a verdict, so? Involving a monetary payout? More like a negotiation? Of course, I talked to both sides in advance, and the intention was generally reached.
Beside Lu Ning, he naturally stood with the microphone Liu Dafang, at this time he puffed his chest and said loudly: "My master, I am willing to compensate the Zhenla Mission for 100 silver dollars!" ”
The pork minister Badra Ba Mo's fat face was cold, and he snorted, he naturally didn't give the Zhenla people a grievance, after all, the two sides of the funeral compensation and so on, in fact, have already communicated.
He snorted coldly, naturally he couldn't see that this Qi person's pedigree was too big, as if he was condescending to open a golden mouth.
At this time, Liu Dafang continued: "In addition, Qu Guo was involved in this case with twenty-six relatives, and three young men resisted and were killed on the spot......"
When Liu Dafang said this, Qu Guo's body trembled slightly, it was that in order to protect her that day, several relatives did not let people take her, so she was killed by the slave warriors sent by Badra Patma.
"Of the remaining twenty-three people, my master will give one hundred silver dollars to forgive his sins."
Qu Guo was stunned when he heard this, looked at Lu Ning, and his eyes turned red.
She didn't know in advance that the main family had already made up their minds to rescue her relatives.
Listening to the translation, Badra Bama was stunned, after all, he had asked Liu Jizong to knock on the bamboo bar, but the other party was unwilling to pay, and now he actually gave 100 yuan of silver ingots, more than 20 cheap slaves, mostly old and young women and children, how can it be worth so much money.
Liu Jizong smiled and said: "That's fine, this case is really over." ”
Badra Patma bowed slightly, but did not raise any objections.
At this time, Liu Dafang said again: "Lord Guan Jia, this is not right, my master, the money that should be compensated has been compensated, what about the loss of my master?" At the beginning, Lord Pig-headed and Prince Zhenla conspired to deceive my master, and wanted to secretly rob my master's slave and maid, and my slave and maid were away for two nights, and their reputation was damaged. ”
Even Wang Lun was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect such a play.
And looking at this servant girl, she should have heard the news that her master was going to redeem all her relatives involved in the case, and she was surprised and refreshed, and the coquettish appearance of the black pearl, where did she look like she was dying and being saved? Obviously, it is to slander those barbarians.
Seeing that the two interpreters had seen it, Wang Lun groaned slightly, nodded, and asked them to translate to the barbarians.
The two interpreters are highly qualified, although they all know that the pig-headed Lord Liu Dafang said is Badra Patma, but they do not show different colors, and they translate the local language and the Zhenla language in a regular manner.
Padhara Patma immediately rose into a rage and cried out.
Prince Chenla and his entourage also turned ugly.
Liu Dafang continued: "For the rest of the losses, my master is generous, so I won't ask for it, but a 10,000-year-old ginseng is an heirloom of my master, even in Bianjing, and it is also priceless, so I will give you a discount, count the money, yes, Prince Zhenla, compensate my master for 4,900 silver ingots, and Lord Pig's Head, compensate my master for 5,000 silver dollars." As he spoke, he took out a banknote from the money pair, which was the highest face value of Daqi Tongbao, a hundred guan, that is, the value of a hundred silver dollars, handed it to Liu Jizong with both hands, and said: "This is the silver that my master atoned for the sins of the Qu family." ”
Liu Jizong nodded and took it, no one knew what he was thinking.
From the perspective of others, it is natural that he feels that this kind of dispute is no longer something he can mediate.
Badra Baruma was still muttering, and the interpreter translated a few sentences, saying that he was scolding the clerk for being too loud and looking for death and other curses.
Liu Dafang sneered: "You tell this pig's head and the prince of Zhenla, and the prince of Zhenla took compensation, does he think he will go back?" My master follows the laws of the Great Qi and will never make trouble in the country of the covenant again, but when he leaves the Champa land, you can ask him, do you know that the Li Department is the place where he will return to the royal city of Angkor, right? He is acting recklessly outside, and he doesn't know that he wants to bring trouble to his clan, God King? Do you really think it's a demigod and a half-human? If you want to say that the true god in this mortal world, there is only one Holy Venerable of the Son of Heaven who is on this pilgrimage! ”
Wang Lun listened to his heart, and when he saw the two interpreters looking at him again, he nodded again.
After listening to the two interpreters, Prince Zhenla Huo Ran got up.
Badra Pata also stopped scolding, very shocked, especially when he saw Prince Zhenla's expression.
Moreover, he had also heard that the Zhili tribe was one of the most savage and warlike tribes of Chenla, who believed in the gods of the earth and had repeatedly challenged the authority of the god-king, but their tribe had not been destroyed by the Chenla people, who knew how strong and warlike this group was only if they were able to make them submit.
Just such a thing, this Qi people, want to provoke the monstrous changes in Zhenla's country?
But I heard the servants of the Qi people say something again, and the interpreter translated, but it was said that the clerk had originally purchased 3,000 sets of swords, guns, and armor that the Great Qi military treasury wanted to destroy, and was originally going to sell them at a high price in the Three Buddhas, but now they were ready to trade them to the Libu Ministry, and they could pay the market fee later, and then make the price and pay for it after they robbed the gold, silver and jewelry from Angkor.
And the first batch of ordnance has been sent away.
Prince Zhenla's face turned pale when he heard this.
Badra Bamo's face was also green, obviously the other party was not falsely threatening, otherwise it would be meaningless.
Qu Guo was also a little confused, although she knew that it was impossible for the main family to make such a big battle because of her affairs, or because she was a little annoyed in her heart, but she was still dizzy, and she didn't know how to feel in her heart, but she just felt that it seemed that there was no such adventure in heaven and earth, and her master was really the most ridiculous person she had ever seen.
Lu Ning got up at this time, and asked Liu Dafang to make it clear here, that is, when the war ignited in Zhenla's country, he obviously held the Daqi ordnance used by the Li Ministry, but it had nothing to do with the Daqi official, so he could only blame this prince of Zhenla for not knowing what to do outside, and provoked another Qi businessman with a quirky temperament.
Prince Zhenla took two steps and wanted to say something.
Lu Ning had already walked out slowly, and Liu Dafangxu stopped Prince Zhenla, arched his hand, and turned around to follow.
