Wu Yuan didn't know that he was wrong for a while, but everyone was looking at him, but he didn't know what to say, this situation was really embarrassing, Song Yi felt a little pity for this unenlightened classmate, so he relieved him.

"Nostalgic idea is good, but if everyone does it, where will this official power be in the future?"

Hearing this, Wu Yuan also thought so, Diao Min...... Even if you want to calm down the situation because of the boiling of public resentment, it is okay to spend some money, how can the official admit his mistake, anyway, his family does not have such a family motto.

But when he turned his head to look at Zhang Huan, he found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only did not stretch his brows, but wrinkled even tighter, could it be said that he and Song Yi's guesses were wrong, not because his methods were too radical, but because he was not cheap enough?

This speculation made him a little overwhelmed, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, Wu Yuan looked at his reaction with a smile, and said in his heart Are you really helping you when Dexin is it? How could he not know the true thoughts of the prince, if a courtier can't figure out what he wants, it's really easy to recover!

Why did Jiang Tian spend time and trouble re-entering the hall, Zhang Huan wanted to figure it out at the first time, so except for Tian Xuhai, who had just come, several people here knew that he wanted to know the answer, and at the same time knew that he had found the answer, but although Tian Xuhai was his classmate, the political attitude of the Tian family had always been ambiguous, so no one really classified him into his own faction.

Not to mention that Song Yi himself was a school of science and originally had no political attributes, but traditional science officials like the Tian family did not treat science as a political faction, as if the great development of science and technology would bury Confucianism. Song Yi would be hell if he could treat him as a friend.

This matter was something that the Tian family didn't expect from the beginning, they always thought that although Song Yingxing was a keen lover of science, at least he was also a serious person, and he should be the kind of object that could be won over if he went astray. But I didn't know that under the influence of Jiang Tian, the entire Academy of Sciences or officials in the field of science and technology no longer put their promotion path on the traditional promotion of officials.

Jiang Tian didn't let Tian Xuhai wonder for too long, in line with the principle of special affairs, this case only lasted a few days, because this case was the first civil prosecutor since the reform, so countless people who were interested in it crowded in front of the newly opened court, wanting to obtain a qualification to observe, so the court could only temporarily decide to hold a trial outside, so that more people could intuitively see how the lawsuit of the new dynasty should be fought.

Logically speaking, the matter will be tried wherever it occurs, but now most of the officials directly under Jiang Tian have not straightened out their duties, so this time the former Wuqing County Dian Shi served as the judge, and Jiang Tian asked all the officials who did not have urgent affairs in their hands to be present to observe, just these officials accounted for dozens of people, not counting the trainees of the civil servant training course who were being trained.

Therefore, this time the trial was held on the school field next to the south gate of the city, first, because there are not as many residences as the north gate, and secondly, it is not next to the water and land wharf, so it will not affect the normal transportation order because of the gathering of people. But no one expected that even after thinking about it so much, it was still crowded by the people, and it can only be said that Jiang Tian underestimated the people's persistence in watching the excitement.

This time, the judge's surname is Gong, which is a surname that will inevitably go down in history, but he doesn't know anything about it, and even feels that he will be stinky for 10,000 years. In the past official position, Dianshi was the last official, and he was not in the stream, not even a Jiupin sesame official, although he was also in charge of the arrest, prison, and trial of a county, but he did not have the right to preside over a case like this of a civil prosecution official.

So when Jiang Tian asked him to come to the public trial, this middle-aged uncle, who had only been an official for more than a year, was beating a drum in his heart, wondering if he wanted to make himself carry the black pot? After all, he was made up for after the Northern Expedition because the original classic history died, and he belonged to the kind of small role with no background and no backstage.

It's no wonder that he thinks so, everyone knows that although the history of the canon has no grade, it has great power, and at the same time there is a lot of oil and water, after all, he is the director of the public security bureau and the president of the court of a county, and the average small case is tried with his left hand and his right hand, and the benefits of being able to go up and down in the middle are not asked.

He has not been an official for a long time, and he is not so bold, so he belongs to an innocent official who has no criminal record and no public anger, and he has not yet enjoyed the benefits of being an official Jiang Tian came, and the entire officialdom has undergone drastic changes.

The position of the director of the public security bureau was given to the original head catcher, and the right to the history was only left to fight lawsuits, so it was renamed the president of the court and temporarily served as the chief judge, and the advantage was that the errand of litigation was completely stripped from the power and responsibility of the county order, although the grade was still lower than that of the county magistrate, but in terms of rights, it was no longer coerced.

Since he knew that he was going to try such a hot potato, he didn't want to sit and lie restless, and wanted to ask someone to inquire about Jiang Tian's true intentions several times, but in the end he couldn't help it, so he prepared a thin gift that he felt shabby. In the end, as he thought, he didn't even see Lord Jiang's face.

Of course, what he thought was different was that the reason why he couldn't see the leader was not because his gift was just two salted fish, which was very clear to him when he went out, and he also believed that Jiang Tian did not dislike these two fish, because this disciple was not someone else, but the famous local son of the Liu family.

"Sir said, there is nothing unspeakable in this case, you only need to try according to the law, no matter what the verdict is, it is irrefutable just by the law!"

This is said very bluntly, just handle it impartially, but he keeps beating the drum in his heart, and the meaning of impartiality is that the official family loses those mud legs to win, although there are many such upright Qingtian masters in the Ming Dynasty, but he feels that he does not have the responsibility and courage, and he does not want to be the first person in the Chinese Dynasty.

But it can't be done if you don't do it, seeing that the officials from all walks of life have already arrived, and he, the presiding judge, just stands on the sidelines and salutes these officials, so he keeps bending down, and he really can't see that he has the courage of the sea pen frame back then. Especially when Jiang Tian followed the prince and his entourage to the scene, all the people in the audience, regardless of the officials and the people, knelt down to salute the prince, Jiang Tian hid aside, which is also the reason why he followed Zhang Huan in such a public occasion, even if he is a teacher, but after all, he is a real prince.

When the cumbersome etiquette finally came to an end, the palace judge was finally able to sit down in the courtroom, and among the people who were listening, except for Zhang Huan, everyone else, including Jiang Tian, could only stand, this is also Jiang Tian's arrangement, what he wants is a posture of equality before the law, since everyone can't sit down, then everyone can stand together.

Although he was sitting on the chair, the palace judge, who was trembling and wanted to slip down, squeezed out a little smile with difficulty towards the prince, and asked cautiously in the official language of the former Ming: "Then the lower official has transgressed?" ”

After getting the tacit approval, he turned his head and glanced at the temporary lobby, and wanted to show the majesty of the presiding judge, but unfortunately although the nearby observers were quiet, the people in the distance were still whispering to each other, it didn't matter if one or two people were there, as soon as there were more people, he felt that there was a low buzz in the whole venue, which didn't seem to give him face as a judge.

Tremblingly, he picked up the shocking wood, and wanted to shoot it heavily, but after glancing at the prince next to him, he hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked lightly: "Take the plaintiff!" ”

When the plaintiff was carried up, the scene seemed a little deserted, of course, the plaintiff was not alone, and the few who were beaten were also dealt with together.

Several "honest" plaintiffs stood below, and they had been told not to kneel, but the prince was listening, and the presiding judge had to remind them to salute the prince.

"Exemption from courtesy, the presiding judge is the greatest above the public court, since you don't have to bow to the presiding judge, then you don't have to bow to Lonely."

Since the prince has said so, let's officially start the trial. The palace judge coughed lightly, and then asked in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty in a tone of voice, trying to maintain the prestige of the official as much as possible: "Who is standing under the hall, what is the matter, can there be a paper?" ”

These plaintiffs also used to beg for a living on the canal, so they could naturally understand his words, but several people looked at each other, didn't this paper have already been handed over? This kind of case is not a drum to sound grievances, how can there be a case of paper in court.

Fortunately, Judge Gong's secretary took out the indictment in time and put it on his desk, which prevented Lord Gong from continuing to make a fool of himself, and the judge knew that he was speechless, so he pretended to be calm and picked up the complaint and looked at it, only to find that with the indictment and a trial process, he couldn't help but glance at his subordinates gratefully.

After sorting out his thoughts, he asked the person on the stretcher, "Are you the plaintiff Zhao Ergou?" ”

"Lord Qiqi is the grass people."

"Hmm......" Lord Gong nodded: "This statement says that you sued the foreman Cui Guike for deducting pensions and injuring many people, but is it true?" ”

"My lord, the grass people don't dare to falsely accuse the truth!"

"Okay, take the defendant!"

……

The process of the trial was boring, and there were no such episodes as beating boards, sticks, tiger chairs, chili pepper water, and so on, which were popular with the masses, so that many idlers who were watching were noisy, and of course those who dared to do so were quickly driven away from the scene by the bailiffs, and were arrested on the construction site for labor reform on the charge of contempt for the prince.

But as long as those who are interested pay attention, they will find that the process and content of the trial simply subvert people's common sense, first of all, Cui Gui and others took out Zhao Ergou's medical expense certificate, indicating that they had fulfilled their obligation to treat them, and also gave two taels of silver on the same day. In the past, this was a conscientious proprietor.

As for the beating, it was also because the other party "made unreasonable trouble" to ask for the so-called "pension", so the dispute between the two parties belonged to the category of fighting and brawling, not unilateral violence. Of course, this set of rhetoric was not what Cui Gui thought of, but a lawyer he invited to state on the spot, and that spitting mouth could simply bring the dead to life.

On the other hand, Zhao Ergou not only couldn't afford to hire a lawyer, but he also stammered and couldn't say anything clearly. Many people shook their heads in their hearts, it seems that these people's lawsuits cannot be won.

But at this moment, Judge Gong asked a key sentence: "Defendant, you said that the plaintiff did not follow the work procedures, which led to being injured by the falling stones!" ”

"Exactly, Your Excellency."

Judge Gong turned his head to look at Zhao Ergou again: "Plaintiff, did you violate the articles of association of the construction site?" ”

Zhao Ergou looked at the palace lord aggrievedly: "My lord, the grass people have been working there for more than two months, and they don't know what the regulations are, and they do their work every day, and no one tells us anything wrong!" ”

"Defendant, you can tell the plaintiff about the relevant bylaws."

"This ......"

The next thing is simple, although after this incident on the construction site, Jiang Tianfa's safety regulations have to be taken out again, especially under Jiang Tian's care by the supervision party to review the training results, but before this there is really no safety warning, let alone pre-job training and the like. Even if the defendant wanted to deny it, in front of Jiang Tian and the prince, they didn't even have the courage to cheat.

"The facts of this case are clear, the evidence is conclusive...... Judge Gong read through the trial process according to the script: "Now this official pronounces the verdict: the defendant Cui Gui, in undertaking the highway construction, did not perform the relevant obligations of the building code and site management under construction in accordance with the relevant provisions of the contract signed by the government and him, resulting in a work-related accident at work and causing him to be disabled. The defendant bears full responsibility......"

After the verdict was finished, the palace judge did not forget to turn his head to look at Zhang Huan: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a show?" ”

Zhang Huan shook his head: "Lone is only here to observe, not to try the case, subject to Qingzhi's judgment." ”

Judge Gong was reassured: "The trial of this case is now completed, and if the original defendant and the defendant are dissatisfied with the verdict, they can appeal within 15 days and withdraw from the court!" ”

The contractor Cui Gui was sentenced to pay Zhao Ergou 200 yuan in disability pension, because he had already paid 2 yuan for the soup and medicine, and paid 198 yuan. The medical expenses and lost work expenses of the workers who injured the debt collectors amounted to 50 silver dollars. Moreover, he was sentenced to 15 days of detention for instructing his family to hurt others. However, the nutrition expenses demanded by the plaintiff and the loss of work expenses during the filing period were not supported because there were no relevant legal provisions.

As soon as the verdict came out, it was natural that a few families were happy and a few were sad, and the plaintiff's side was naturally happy, in fact, they had long known that the case would be won, but they didn't expect to win so thoroughly. And the defendant also knew that he would definitely lose money, but he didn't expect to lose 248 yuan, after all, the purchasing power of these money was higher than Qianming's 250 taels of silver. And he will go to jail for 15 days.

As for the small bosses of the vote, they gasped, they knew that Jiang Tianding's "Provisional Covenant of the Labor Law" was not a façade, but a real thing to be followed. In this way, the long-term workers, short-term workers, and apprentices under their command can be regarded as finding the backbone. How can this make everyone make money with peace of mind in the future?

The most uncomfortable thing at the scene was not these businessmen, because the face of the lawyer who was invited at a high price was about to convulse and deformed, he thought that he could reduce the compensation amount to less than 100 yuan, if the other party opened his mouth and then used his three-inch tongue to kill a Jedi, his biggest trump card was that the cause of the work-related injury was the illegal operation.

It's just that there is no room for him to play in the entire trial scene, and it is not his turn to move with emotion and reason, and the court judge Gong is completely official and follows the process, and the two sides present evidence and say the facts, and finally make a judgment in accordance with the law. How can this make the profession of a lawyer get mixed up?

This kind of case will hardly be listened to in the future generations, it is a very simple civil dispute, unless the city is full of wind and rain and the attention is very high, otherwise even if the notice of the audit is hung out, not many people will come in to see the excitement. But in this era, the situation is different, because although this Cui Gui is a contractor, he actually represents the local government. The common people of this era can't tell whether you are contracted or officially self-operated, they only think that this is a project of the Yamen, which naturally represents the Yamen.

Although there is no plot of flesh and blood, crying dad and calling mother, many people who watch the excitement are unhappy, but the storm set off by this trial process has attracted more attention than the verdict itself, whether it is officials or ordinary people, suddenly found that some things they originally thought should have changed, such as the officials who were watching and standing with them.

"Brother Tian understands this time?" After the trial, Liu Baokai looked at Tian Xuhai for a long time: "Mr.'s thoughts are really not something we can guess!" ”

Of course, Tian Xuhai could hear the ridicule in his words, but he frowned and couldn't express his position, because he couldn't have imagined that he would engage in such a big battle, but in the end, it would be a tepid result.

Although Song Yi also looked down on some of the Tian family's practices, he used to be called a brother and a brother for a long time, and he felt a little pity for this former friend, and it happened that he saw the prince with a smile on his eyebrows and seemed to have some experience, so he pretended to follow the words of the pervert and said: "What Yijian said is very true, but unfortunately I don't know much about this officialdom for my brother, I don't know who can solve the puzzle?" ”

The fake prince Wu Yuan had already seen their expressions in his eyes, so he made a favor and said, "I don't know if His Highness may figure out a thing or two?" ”

The result of the trial is similar to what he imagined, Zhang Huan, who is secretly refreshing, is also a teenager, there are not so many city governments, seeing people ask this question, it naturally scratches his itch, and he can't help but smile and say: "Actually, it's nothing, but Mr. used this case to convey an idea to the people, that is: under my rule, the four people are equal, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and the law is the mainstay." ”

There will be no suppression of the grass people for the sake of the government's face, nor will it be indiscriminate compensation for the sake of gaining fame, the law says that the compensation is as much as it is, as long as you have evidence, anyone can go to court. There is no absolute fairness in this world, but relative equality is the guarantee of living and working in peace and contentment.

"Your Highness is right." At this time, Jiang Tian happened to come over: "But you are only half right, if you only give one Zhao Ergou fairness, then there are still many people who have no evidence and cannot sue what should they do?" So we need to learn from this and prevent this from happening again. ”

Zhang Huan nodded thoughtfully: "What Mr. said is very true, the tiger is out of the sheng, he came out once and was careless, he didn't pay attention when he came out twice, and he came out for the third time......"
