The sedan chair is not big, and even deliberately makes it fluffy and dirty, even if it is the four sedan chair drivers, they are also worn out and dirty, you know, in the new imperial capital, after the beggar profession was swept away, coupled with the new life movement, everyone knows that maintaining hygiene can stay away from diseases, no matter how bad it is, you can maintain your image, at least take a bath.

Therefore, there are really not many people who wear such a thing, unless it is a dirt bun that has just entered the city.

The tattered sedan chair, the sedan chair man in tattered clothes, put down the sedan chair with a poor expression, and followed by the people who followed him tremblingly and helped one person out of the sedan chair.

I saw that the person who was helped out was wrapped in gauze, walking with a limp, no one helped him to walk an inch, and his poor eyes were watery as if he was being bullied so pitifully.

Not to mention the messy hair, withered face, just the chapped lips, basically the face of a poor person who has been bullied and wronged is vividly depicted.

Even Li Xiangqian, who can be called hard-hearted, couldn't help frowning secretly in the crowd, thinking that he was so tormenting people in private, was it a bit excessive?

However, he immediately thought of something: "Damn, what is the film studio doing?" It must have been the make-up department that helped! ”

Li Xiangqian is quick-minded, he still knows the Ming Dynasty very well, in the cognition of the Ming people in this era, makeup and grease and powder are the tricks that women play in the boudoir in order to please men!

As one of the four great magics, makeup has always been a ghostly thing, in all kinds of live broadcasts that have lost their conscience, the masses like to hear and see the existence of the people, often those Loli who are delicate and soft, after removing the makeup and revealing their original faces, they will be seen a face that belongs to a middle-aged aunt, and at some times, it is not impossible to have an uncle's face!

Of course, the original model representing advanced productive forces will not slowly appear until at least a few hundred years later, that is, until the development of industry, the emergence of cosmetics, and the changes brought about by the demand for movies.

Of course, this era also knows how to dress up the basics, we said before, the Ming Dynasty has state-owned enterprises, and even a lot, the most eye-catching, is the "tertiary industry" leading enterprises represented by the Department of Education, and in these places, the study of makeup, let the ugly girl become a beauty, the old prostitute can save a little face, the most important, or a considerable research and development of this, some soft power in.

Of course, there are a lot of women on the spaceship, and all of them are makeup masters, and in the previous publicity and distribution work, the shooting of film and television dramas has become a very important means.

Not to mention anything else, this kind of trick of pretending to be pitiful and winning the sympathy of public opinion is definitely not something that can be done by a Ming scholar who treats the people as bullshit, there must be a reason why the elders taught these scholars to be smart after various tricks.

Under Li Xiangqian's angry and funny expression, Kong Xingxie walked into the crowd, and someone specially made a way for him, which seemed less synaptic, well, in the imperial capital where rumors were flying, there was a rumor that Kong Xingxie, the son of Yansheng Gongshi, asked for the people's life, and denounced the disgusting behavior of the powerful people who tried to buy and sell short and suck the blood and sweat of the people, so he was beaten on the spot, but Kong Shizi was still morale and insisted on going up.

Due to the extremely elaborate construction of the new urban area, there are many places where civilians can spend their time in a cheap way, whether it is the action of the neighborhood committees to organize the old women to dance square dances, or the places of various chess and card rooms, which are the perfect places to spread gossip.

The so-called, the position of public opinion, if you don't occupy it, someone will naturally occupy it, in this regard, the elders can be said to have an innate advantage, and it is simply handy to pass on the gossip in the hall they opened.

However, when I saw Kong Xingxie passing by the crowd, he actually shook his head and bowed slightly, which seemed to bring out scars, making him frown and pause, which was really sympathetic.

However, at this time, Li Xiangxiang scolded: "Idiot, you were injured a few months ago, as long as you are not a fool, you know that if you are wounded by a knife, you will either die or be healed, although we secretly gave you an injection and let you sleep for two more months, but we didn't really mess with you, if you still have the slightest wound on your body, I will lose my notebook to you!" ”

Sure enough, he pretended to be a little excessive, and although no one spoke out loud the truth, someone kept muttering something.

When someone walked out of the gate of the courthouse, he shouted: "Today, 100 people can be allowed to enter the court to observe, and they are all remembered, and they must not make noise or disturb the order of the trial, otherwise they will parade through the streets on the charge of obstructing judicial fairness, and all good local citizens can observe." ”

This is also a virtue of the Presbyterian Church, except for some cases that are not suitable for publicity, such as rape of women, which is naturally often tried behind closed doors in order to protect women's honors, and the same still involves confidentiality, and the rest is also painstakingly calculated.

The imperial capital is like this, and it is almost impossible to hide any secrets, but fortunately, at this time, the politics are clear, and there are not so many conspiracies, it is nothing more than to sigh about how well the elders eat, or how good everyone is to women, as usual, these daily gossip does not occupy the mainstream, in fact, compared to the style of the nobles of the previous dynasty, the elders are already honest and simple.

However, this lawsuit is also very popular, and there are still many idlers in the imperial capital, and a hundred tickets are really not enough, but there are already people who are familiar with the road in line, and there are people who are noisy to sell tickets to themselves.

Witnessing the appearance of the Ming version of the scalper, Li Xiangqian was unmoved, this is good news, it shows that our lawsuit is popular and good-looking.

Naturally, he didn't need to queue up to get a ticket, he had already prepared his pass, and he went in to watch the play when he mixed in the crowd.

Imitating the courtroom of later generations, this arrangement was very satisfying to the interrogators, because in the past, the old man was sitting, and the others were standing, and the strong squad officer with a water and fire stick was always on behalf of the people.

Yuan Fang sat in a high position, and now in front of him, both the plaintiff and the defendant had their own seats, and even those who were listening were also sitting, this feeling made him very bad, and it was humiliating, but didn't he wait for the day when he endured the humiliation.

As the small master of a Dali Temple in the former Ming Dynasty, he escaped countless bloody storms, and survived to this day, and became the president of the Imperial Capital Intermediate Court, and was almost used as a court captain.

Of course, all the people who should have been killed over the years have been killed, and there are not many cases that can be tried by him, and there are really not many.

No, there is this kind of case that enters the elders' sight and "Jane is in the long heart", Yuan Fangke will be interested, and it will be very simple to jump out for interrogation.

Thinking of the previous things, Yuan Fang sighed.

Originally, on the day Li Zicheng entered the city, people were panicked, his scheming was good, he took office alone, and hid directly in the yamen of the criminal department, fortunately, in this criminal department, Dali Temple, and the Imperial Procuratorate were all gathered together on the west side of the imperial city, compared to those officials and military departments in the south of the imperial city, the impact was relatively small, and when the military disaster passed, not many people went to rob the Qingshui Yamen of the criminal department, and Niu Jinxing Song Xiance Li Yan was not stupid, and the judicial center of the criminal department was naturally protected.

Yuan Fang cooperated properly, protected all kinds of files, and at the same time hugged Niu Jinxing's thigh at once, he thought that he could take advantage of the situation, after all, how could these anti-thieves know how to ask about the case, but before he could get a specific official position, the elders entered the city at once.

In the days that followed, Yuan Fang took a messenger from the master book and began to work hard, of course, it was all true, all kinds of local gangsters in the imperial capital, thousands of them were swept away, and all kinds of bad people on the streets were cleared up, so as to make room for the old and hard-working people.

In this process, Yuan Fang can be regarded as perfecting the duty of leading the party, after all, it is impossible for the elders to know that "which wave should be attacked".

Even if Yuan Fang didn't know, he generally knew where to find these people, and those little officials were not clear about this?

If so, it would have been almost a happy life for the prince and the boar at the end, but then the judicial reform of the elders began to go too far.

If he provided the plaintiff and the defendant with a stool to sit on, and did not have to kneel and talk all the time, or could be patient at the level of benevolence, then it would be a bit bullying to allow the plaintiff and the defendant to sit on a bench and not have to kneel and talk all the time, then it would be a bit bullying to allow the plaintiff and defendant to sit on the bench for a long time.

But who let him eat this bowl of rice? If it was before, they could still make some small moves, use high-pitched singing, or deliberately mess up this matter, but now they don't dare to do it.

The key is still people, in the past, if you want to engage in some corruption in secret, as long as you hint at those little officials, naturally someone will rush to do it, and there are certain rules for all kinds of fees, where it seems that now, there are staring at you almost every few days.

In the past, there were only a few mothers-in-law in charge of the criminal department, but now, it has become 300 mothers-in-law, is that what people do?

A young man walked in front of the audience and said loudly: "Except for those who need to enter the trial area due to the needs of their work, no other personnel are allowed to enter the trial area, and they are not allowed to applaud, make noise, make noise, or carry out other acts that obstruct trial activities, and they are not allowed to speak or ask questions without the permission of the chief judge......

People's whispers gradually stopped, Yuan Fang looked at both sides, the reason why this lawsuit is more eye-catching is that both sides are Guogong-level figures, not to mention the prince of Chengguo, the old man is a powerful figure, and the person on the other side is even more, the prince of Yansheng is earlier than the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, that can be offended?

Sure enough, when he described his identity, it caused everyone to whisper.

Yuan Fang: "Does the plaintiff have any objection to the defendant's appearance in court?" ”

Kong Xingxie coughed and said with a depressed expression: "There is no objection." ”

Yuan Fang: "Does the defendant have any objection to the plaintiff's appearance in court?" ”

Zhu Xiaoneng: "No objection. ”

Yuan Fang looked at it, both sides seemed to be very calm, Kong Xingxie simply gasped there, and Zhu Xiaoneng on the opposite side was also expressionless, and it was their lawyer who was standing in front of him.

He explained the rights of both parties and the rules of discussion, and then said: "First of all, the plaintiff and the lawyer will state the claims and reasons for the lawsuit. ”

Sen Chang stood up slowly, and said in a southern accent very unhurriedly: "Lord Qiyu...... My son was seriously injured this time, and he ......" When he was talking, Kong Xingxie coughed with an ugly face.

Yuan Fang's face was not good, and he said, "Just say ......"

"Okay, I ask my lord to convict the murderer Zhu Xiaoneng of murder, compensate my master for personal injury, mental damage for a total of 5,000 taels of silver, and if the plaintiff Mr. Kong has various sequelae complications in the future, the plaintiff will also be responsible! Below, I state the main evidence ......"

Yuan Fang nodded and said no more: "Now the defendant lawyer Gu Meimen will reply." ”

Gu Meimen slowly stood up and said, "We have no objection to this evidence. ”

A slight discussion sounded: "Is this just a confession?" ”

"Yes, yes, this is an admit, it depends on how the official is sentenced."

Wang Jian watched from the side, but he didn't think much in his heart, for them, a national legal popularization activity is already the ultimate goal, in itself, this kind of criminal case, there should be a public prosecutor doing it, otherwise, there will be no plaintiff in the case of destroying the door.

It's a sneaky trick here, but I also want to see that the research of civil advocates on the judicial system is still very good, and as for the problem of public prosecutors, I'm sorry, there is a lack of talents under the Presbyterian Church, and qualified judicial talents are extremely scarce, and they can't provide this kind of service.

Originally, according to the rules of later generations, only civil lawsuits would have the situation where the plaintiff and the defendant hired lawyers to fight each other, but this situation was also the norm in the Ming Dynasty, of course, many times, the initiative of the trial was in the hands of officials.

He originally thought it would be a war of words, Zhu Xiaoneng wanted to get away with it, basically those points were nothing more than passion hurting people, a quarrel for a while, misunderstandings and the like, as long as he was confused, injured by mistake, fined, it was almost the same, and he couldn't really kill people.

But the lawyer hired by the Zhu family actually didn't say a word and accepted the other party's testimony.

"It's not fun."

Yuan Fang felt great, you second generation don't make trouble, live smoothly, so that he can slowly boil up his qualifications, why bother.

"So, did the defendant plead guilty and bear criminal responsibility, and pay the plaintiff's medical expenses?"

Although I am not used to it, the words of this kind of dialogue have long been studied and arranged by the elders, and it is just from the script.

"We don't plead guilty, we don't give money, thank you."

Gu Meimen said with a smile.

It's not the same as saying yes!

"Defendant lawyer, what do you mean, don't plead guilty?"

"We recognize the crime of hurting people, people don't recognize fines, and my master will not go to jail, so self-confidence!" Gumeimen Advocate laughed, revealing his white teeth.
