Chapter VI: Adjudication of Cases in Court
"Get out of the way! The official is on an errand! A group of soap-clad servants squeezed out of the crowd. The leader was stunned: "So serious? ”
Ordinary fights and brawls on the streets, and the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable. Seeing blood, the injury is bad, and it can't be coordinated in private. It was sent to the yamen, and generally one party paid for the cost of the soup and medicine, and then each played dozens of boards. But if there is a serious injury, disability, or death. Then it must be decided by the government!
The head catcher who took the lead looked at this posture, and in terms of injuries, this matter was a bit big. At the moment, he shouted: "Who is involved in the brawl?" Stand out! ”
Qin Feng said proudly: "The five of them! Rob me jade pendant, I fight up! Nothing to do with others. ”
The head catcher is surnamed Cao, and he patrols the streets in this area all year round. I know the Jia family cloth shop, and I also know these splashes, and they still have some contacts with each other. When I saw this scene, I thought that the Jia family was so entangled by the splashing skin that I was ruthless, and today I found someone to beat the splashing skin angrily. In this case, it will always be a bit oily and watery to make it clear that you want to go to court.
I didn't know, but I saw a guy jump out to take it. However, since you admit that you hurt others, then bring it back and talk about it. The Jia family was inevitably implicated in the end.
Cao Zhutou waved his hand: "Take it away, go to the county government for questioning." ”
A few catchers came up quickly, and a famous catcher carried a chain in his hand. Looking at the posture, he planned to lock Qin Feng.
Qin Feng raised his hand and made a gesture of stopping: "Wait, it's okay to go to the yamen." But don't get me any of these things. I am a student of Nanchang County, Qin Feng. ”
The crowd was stunned, Xiucai? Since you're a showman, why are you wearing this guy's short shirt?
According to the Dahua Law, a person without merit pretends to be a person with merit and a person with a meritorious name, and is guilty of a capital offense. It is also a member of the county, and one check is accurate. So when Cao Zhutou heard this, he didn't doubt it, his attitude changed, and he immediately arched his hand and said, "Then do you invite Qin Xiucai to come with us?" ”
This is to put it mildly, if you don't go to Xiucai. The headhunters have to go back, and then the county magistrate will report to the government. After the government officials participated in the investigation and found it necessary, they signed and agreed to issue a summons, and the summons was passed in court.
This is similar to the treatment of deputies to the people's congress in later generations.
Qin Feng was easy to talk to, but if he didn't go, he seemed weak-hearted. Draw a circle with your hands at the moment: "Everything on the ground must be brought!" Robberies by day! I really should go to the county to explain it clearly! ”
The head catcher smiled: "Xiucai rest assured, not only those lying on the ground, but also the surrounding bystanders, and those who are willing to go to the yamen to testify, let's go together!" ”
Lying on the ground and pretending to be miserable, my heart is cold! You must know that you are a showman, who will fight with you? No, you hit us!
This era is an era in which scholars and emperors rule the world together. It is said: to rule the world with scholars.
Xiucai is the most basic level of scholars, and every official used to be a Xiucai. In every Xiucai, there is a microcosm of officials, studying hard in the cold window, staying up late in the lonely lamp, stumbling step by step in the examination room three times. To be able to go to Xiucai, it is all about overcoming obstacles and blood and tears all the way. Therefore, when officials see Xiucai, it is their own past, and they are naturally close.
And Xiucai, even if he has fame. Officially enter the scholar class, noble status! They can also enjoy privileged treatment, they do not kneel before officials, they do not kneel in court, they can meet with the presiding officials, they do not pay taxes, and they do not perform hard labor...... Even, in the early days of the Chinese Dynasty, it was stipulated that in addition to the heinous crimes, Xiucai who committed a capital crime could be exempted from death three times.
How difficult it is to be heinous, and there are three or four rebellions. Disrespect for the royal family, disrespect for the royal cemetery accounts for two. Unfilial piety among children, disobedience between teachers and students, and infighting between relatives account for three or four.
Ordinary people would not commit such heinous crimes.
So, for example, Xiucai killed a person on the street, and the murder should have paid for his life, a capital crime. Show talent can be exempted, and it is exempted three times.
Later, the Shidaifu group felt a little embarrassed by this, so it was modified, and it was not exempt from crime. But you can, pay the ransom. It sounds like a little better, guilty, pay to offset. There is a price to be paid in the end. But if you think about it carefully, you are a reader, you are really shrewd, you used to avoid death, and there is a limit to the number of times you can do it three times! Now I can't be exempted from sin, pay the money, but infinitely!
Xiucai has such political treatment, so he is not afraid of lawsuits with ordinary people at all, and if he wins, he wins! If you lose, you pay the ransom. Moreover, officials are generally favored and talented, and they are all their own people. At the same time, the scholars lost to the people, how can the group of scholars have face? This is a matter of position, unless Xiucai really does something hurtful.
So even the splash who was lying on the ground knew that this trip to the county government was a failure. Just look at the board, how much to suffer. As soon as he heard Qin Feng roar and rob during the day, his heart jumped for a while, this crime is punishable by imprisonment!
Looking around, there are also neighbors, and then I understand, no wonder! This is a talented man. You splashes, even the talented master dares to fight, you deserve it! Haven't you heard of it when you are small, and the people don't fight with the officials?
But this show, how is it like a show? It's like a fierce god, but fortunately he only fights the skin.
Eager neighbors, when they get a board, lift up the severed hand. The others splashed their skins, poured a few basins of cold water, supported each other, and walked towards the county office.
Qin Feng also rolled up his trouser leg, shining a bloodstained calf, and followed Jia Song and the others all the way. A catcher quickly spread his legs and ran back to the yamen to report the information first.
Nanchang Province is divided into two counties, Nanchang County and Xinjian County. One south and one north, one government and two counties are governed together.
This piece is under the management of Nanchang County, and the head of the public catcher comes from the Nanchang County Ya, Qin Feng is also a member of Nanchang County, and the big guy goes all the way to the Nanchang County Ya.
Wei Dayou, the magistrate of Nanchang County, had just finished hearing two dispute cases and was about to retire from the court to rest. Ran in here and caught it quickly, and muttered a few words to Master Liu. Master Liu turned his head and whispered to the magistrate: "Master, there was a fight at the door of Jiajiabu Shop, and it is said that a few splashes and a showman fought, and the injuries were relatively serious!" I've brought people back. ”
Wei Dayou was late from work, angry in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Splash skin dare to hurt Xiucai? Eat leopard gall! I have to fix it hard. ”
Master Liu whispered: "Master, it was a serious injury, all of them were bleeding, and one of his hands was broken." ”
Wei Dayou looked suspicious: "What about Xiucai?" ”
"It is said that there is a wound on the leg, which is full of blood."
"A showman, won a few splashes?!" Wei Dayou suddenly became curious: "What's it called?" ”
"Claiming to be a member of this county, Qin Feng."
Wei Dayou's eyes glanced at the back, and the master nodded, and walked quickly to the ceremonial room.
After a while, a group of officials, helpers, took five people and carried one person to the court. A large group of people followed, gathered outside the yamen to watch the excitement.
The master also returned to the hall, nodded slightly to the magistrate.
In the hall, the soap class official who stood on the shift stood with a water and fire stick, and slammed it all over the place, singing in his mouth: Wei ---- Wu-------
