225 Judgment

After Ji Xin's speech, Xu Xu announced the end of the trial, and then Xu Xu gave an hour-long explanation of the main points of the law, which the Law Society spent several nights to produce and try to make it as easy to understand as possible. The facts of this case and the applicable legal provisions were explained, and it was very necessary for the arbitral tribunal to use the modern judicial system to hear the case for the first time, and to explain the case and the trial process.

Surprisingly, the process of interpretation was not boring, but rather enthusiastic, and after the trial process just now, many people wanted to know that the Australian Weishenme wanted to do this, and the permitted interpretation met their requirements. Although most people seem to understand what they don't understand, they have a somewhat rudimentary understanding of the modern judicial system.

After all the explanations were given, the clerk declared all of them to stand:

"The verdict is here!"

Permission stood up, picked up the mallet and struck it:

"The defendant was convicted of 'sabotaging a military marriage'!"

Everyone in the audience let out a sigh and a sigh.

"In the name of the Senate and the people: to sentence the defendant to seven years of hard labor and one year of supervision!" Permission announced.

The so-called supervision means that after release, they must wear special markings on their clothing so that they can be supervised at all times. Not only is it limited in many ways, but it is also a very humiliating mark.

There was a great deal of discussion in the auditorium, which surprised everyone by the severity of the verdict. Because in the judicial practice of the Ming Dynasty, there were very few sentences of imprisonment. Moreover, such a case involving Tong Jiān, according to the convention, is nothing more than beating Jiān husband dozens of boards, and then beating women dozens of boards in the name of "positive weathering". I didn't expect the Australians to be convicted of such a serious crime by "sabotaging the military marriage".

Everyone knows what the so-called "hard labor" of the Australians means, which means that it fell into the hands of Fu Youdi, and the ghost place in Lingao makes people frightened, and everyone doubts that this unlucky "Jiān husband" has a chance to come back alive after entering the hard labor field.

and the wife of the soldier will end up like this, which makes everyone feel wonderful. Australians think differently. In the 17th century, the profession of a soldier was only done by "scum" who were despised by people at home and abroad, and no one thought that it was a great thing for a soldier's wife to be fucked.

As the permitted gavel fell again, the first trial in accordance with the new procedural law process came to an end. All stand and the judge is the first to leave. Then the crowd slowly dispersed under the guidance of the police. In the gallery, which was dispersing, two people did not move until the crowd in the gallery was almost gone, leaving only stools all over the floor. A middle-aged man led by him was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and at first glance he was a Ming person with status. He was accompanied by a young man. The two of them walked slowly towards the mouth. From time to time, the young man removed the bench that was still left in the passageway.

When they reached the entrance, they were greeted by several people in short coats. Sent them to the carriage that had been waiting for them for a long time.

Li Luoyou closed his eyes and rested for a while. Gu Baocheng opened the beverage box in the carriage, took out a small thermos flask, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him.

Li Luoyou took a sip, and the tea was Shanghaode Fujian Wuyi Mountain Tea. After a few months, the Australian enjoyed more and more jīng - when he came in the past, it was only hot water, but the tea leaves were inferior coarse tea.

The carriage shook slightly, and slowly started. The Mongolian horse Liliang is not fast, but it is good at walking, and the road in Lingao is smooth, and the car walks very steadily. Li Luoyou drank two teas, and his breath was slightly flat. It was quite tiring to sit on the backrest of the hardwood plank for more than an hour, not to mention that the room was crowded with people, and if it weren't for the fact that the weather was not hot and the ventilation was good, he probably wouldn't have been able to sit down.

Coming to Dongshi to watch the trial was Gu Baocheng's suggestion -- the case caused by this peach incident has become a hot spot in the streets and alleys of Lingao under the vigorous publicity of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, and naturally it has also spread to the Qionghai, where Li Luoyou is staying. Li Luo had a great interest in the administration of justice in Lingao last time, and this time he heard that there was a case to be tried in public in accordance with the "Laws of the Ao Song Dynasty", and he couldn't help but be very interested, and took care of Bao Cheng to collect all the relevant newspaper materials and show him.

Li Luoyou shouldered the mission of rescuing the remnants of He Rubin, and it has been more than ten days since he arrived in Lingao from Macao. Since the Senate needed to hold a meeting to discuss what to do with the remnants of the Ming army trapped in Qiongshan, Li Luoyou could only wait boredly on the Qionghai - sometimes Liu San or some other senator he knew would come and chat with him, but most of the time he could only spend his time reading the newspapers and books collected by Gu Baocheng in Lingao.

Gu Baocheng has been in Lingao for a while, and he already knows a little about how Australians think about doing things - they will express or imply many things in the newspaper, and reading the "Lingao Times" and various books printed locally is the best window to understand their ideas.

Li Luoyou was very interested in his nephew's opinion—of course, this was not really insightful, just as he regularly had to read the copy from the palace. Many movements of the imperial court can also be seen in the mansion.

But the content of Lingao Times is much broader and the form is much more lively. Many of these forms were the first time he had seen them, such as the sabotage of military marriage case, which was not only reported in the newspaper on the causes and consequences of the case, but also gave a so-called "background introduction" to the "Ao-Song Law", especially the concept and practice of "sabotage of military marriage", which had long articles. Li Luoyou carefully read the article in the newspaper, and soon understood that the Australians were going to implement the "Australian Song Law" in Lingao. He was shocked.

The implementation of the new law is an important feature of the new dynasty. The newspapers openly talked about the law of the Song Dynasty, which was clearly preparing to set up a flag to divide one side. Li Luoyou was silent for a while - it seems that this Qiongzhou Mansion will soon no longer be owned by Daming! Strangely, he was very calm about this reality, and he did not have the anger he felt when he heard about the fall of Shenyang. At least, these people still claim to be of Chinese Miao descent, and they do not regard the people as slaves, pigs and dogs, and have done many practical things to benefit the people in one place. The common people lived much better under the rule of the Ao-Song people than under the rule of Jianlu—and even better than the Ming Dynasty, which was not merciful to its people. Those who are in power only know their glory and wealth, and they do not care about the lives of the people or the territory of the country.

Now, the officials who ruled the people of the Ming Dynasty sent him here only to reach an agreement that would cover up the crushing defeat they had suffered because of their rash provocation of war. Every time Li Luoyou thought of this, he felt desperate for this court. He had heard that the emperor was a diligent person and wanted to prosper the Ming Dynasty, but there were such a group of people under him who were in charge of government, even if Taizu was reincarnated, it would be difficult to make a difference.

Gu Baocheng saw that he was very concerned about this case, so he proposed to observe the interrogation process. Li Luoyou has long been interested in the judicial system of Australians - the last time he visited Dongshi, he found that the judicial system and laws of Australians are similar to those of Europeans. But at that time, the stay was very short, and I didn't have time to see a single trial, and now there is such an important case, and this opportunity cannot be missed in any case.

Li Luoyou wants to see the trial, and of course it is a special case -- he has a crucial role to play in the next step of the planning of the Planning Institute. Under the instructions of the general office, the vest immediately took two jiā from the "reservation ticket" and gave them them.

The whole process of the trial was both surprising and reasonable for him - he realized that his past thinking was correct, that the Australian legal system was heavily influenced by the European legal system, including the form of interrogation. But they innovated in the European system. For example, this unheard of "sabotage of military marriage", he felt that even European laws would not have such strange provisions.

"The Australians are buying the hearts of soldiers, and I'm afraid that the future will be very shallow." Gu Baocheng whispered in the car.

"If he can't buy people's hearts, how can he destroy the whole army of He Town? Is it just relying on the four words of firearms sharpness? Li Luoyou said, "If the firearms are sharp, how can the firearms of the Guanning Town Army and the Jingying not be sharp, and they still beat Jiannu so that they dare not take a step out of the city, hiding in the city and watching them kill people and set fire!" ”

Gu Baocheng knew that what his uncle said was about Jiannu's entry into the fortress - the news from the north was very bad, Jiannu killed and plundered dozens of state capitals, plundered countless property, and kidnapped more than 100,000 people.

In Gu Baocheng's view, in addition to sharp firearms and buying people's hearts, Australians are better than the government in many other aspects. However, he didn't dare to argue, so he just echoed with him: "Uncle is right." ”

The carriage came to the mouth of Qionghai, which occupies a large area, but the building occupies a small area, and the face of the house is not conspicuous - unlike other merchants who try to make their faces as spectacular as possible, the face of Qionghai is very simple, and the face of the three-bay room, whether it is decoration or style, is the appearance of a traditional time-honored brand.

The Qionghai does some retail trading on the surface, selling all kinds of local products on the mainland. This is not its main business -- its main business is bulk trade, and the Qionghai transports all kinds of Australians from the mainland to need bulk goods, especially Liaodong goods and export goods, especially all kinds of leather goods. Horse skin, deerskin, sheepskin, these are the equipment and materials urgently needed by Lingao's industrial system. In addition, it also sells a variety of industrial raw materials such as lacquer, tung oil, silk and other industrial raw materials that are abundant in Guangdong and other places.
