In the third year of Yonghui (652 AD), November 11.

Yesterday in the pear orchard in the south of the city, he taught the villagers scientific management, and then galloped wildly with Jiu Niang, and finally completed the handover on duty and was exempted from the punishment of 30 lashes. However, she still suffered from skin and flesh, and her back was pinched and swollen by Jiu Niang, and I don't know where she got so angry.

Today is Double 11, and I finally quit the chopping party, and finally I don't have to throw all my savings to e-commerce like in previous years. When I got up in the morning to brush my teeth and wash my face, the willow branch poked my teeth hurt, and I secretly made up my mind to get the toothbrush out when I had time.

After washing, he was invited by the priest's yamen again. Si Shiwei joined the army and told him that the official document of the imperial court has come down, and Zheng Guoqi, the former judicial member of the army, will retire with honor from now on, and you will take over with honor. In this way, Wu Kang officially took office and became a Wuzhou judicial member of the army. He received official robes and hats, and the priest and official officials gave him a positive appearance.

The official uniform is a round-necked robe, which seems to be divided into colors, and it also started in the Tang Dynasty. Purple robe above three grades, goldfish bag; Scarlet robes of five grades or above, wearing whitebait bags; Green robe below six grades, no fish bag. Wu Kang is under the eighth grade, and can only wear dark cyan. Not only can it not be mixed with the fish bag, but there can be no flowers on the stomach, and the big guys of seven grades and above can have embroidery patterns on the stomach.

The hat is a hood, and the head is covered with a black soft scarf. The hat of a civil servant, with two feet sticking out from the back, resembles airplane wings. The judicial enlistment is a military attaché, and there can be no airplane feet, and they must be crossed together. Wu Kang couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately the hat was not forgive, otherwise he would have to resign if he said anything.

After finishing his appearance, he turned around twice in front of the bronze mirror, which was quite a leader. I was very satisfied at the moment, and took out more than a dozen dollars to reward the officials who changed clothes. The official was happy to open his face and sent him out of the priest's yamen diligently.

Back at the judicial yamen, the officials on duty came over to say goodbye, as if they didn't need money for good words. Soon the bad guards and prison guards also heard the news, and they all came to say hello. The bad handsome ginger Da Niu has the most conscience, and he also brought a bowl of spinach and egg porridge.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and Wu Kang is not stingy with people, he directly throws the money bag to the big cow and gives everyone happy money. instructed the dog-headed military advisor to go to Huamanlou to charter the field, and all the three guards went over after the ya, eating meat and drinking wine.

Suddenly there was thunder of joy, and the flowers were full of buildings, but they were the first floor in Wuzhou, and they had never eaten them. The dog-headed military advisor's name is Su Jialuo, and he is Lao Zheng's staff assistant, so Wu Kang naturally keeps him by his side. Lao Su received an order to beckon everyone to leave, and Mei Zizi went to Huamanlou to charter the venue.

Glancing at the coronagraph in the yard, it was time to go to work immediately, and quickly eliminated the spinach rice porridge. Just halfway through eating, I suddenly heard the rumbling drum, and I couldn't help but pout and complain, which neuropathy is, beating the drum in the morning... Drum beating? Dengwen Drum... Damn!

Whooshed and stood up, choked on porridge, covered his stomach and kept coughing, and tears came down. It should also be unlucky, a grain of rice enters the nasal cavity, which is called an uncomfortable. didn't care about drinking porridge, while blocking a single nostril and blowing his nose, he strode towards the yamen.

The Dengwen drum is set up at the entrance of the judicial office, which is a green channel for the people to shout unjust complaints. There is a rule in the imperial court that when the drums are sounded, the officials in charge must accept it immediately. Every quarter of an hour, the supervisor had to be whipped ten times until he had fifty lashes.

Legend has it that during the Song Dynasty, a butcher in Bianliang lost his sow's head and beat the Dengwen drum in anger. The emperor not only helped him recover the pig's head, but also rewarded him with copper coins and thousands of dollars. However, this is just a special case, Dengwen Drum has a special official watching, do you dare to knock on it? Don't talk about looking for a pig's head, I'll beat you into a pig's head first.

ran to the lobby in one breath, the station guard had not yet arrived, Wu Kang didn't care about his image, and continued to blow his nose. After a lot of effort, I finally blew out the nasty rice grains, took a comfortable breath, rubbed my teary eyes, and frowned again.

This is the first time to sit in the hall where the ducks are on the shelves, and the eldest girl is sitting in a sedan chair. The dog-headed military division went to Huamanlou, how is this good? was entangled, and the chaotic footsteps sounded after the yahou, and the yashou poured in like a tide. Ten standing officers, holding water and fire sticks, stand on both sides; The two scribes took their seats, sat on the left and right sides of the judgment table, quickly sharpened the ink, spread the paper and opened the stance.

The decoration style of the lobby, Lao Zheng adopted his own suggestions, with a long table on high legs and a chair for the Taishi, and the table case put the four treasures of the study, the signature holder, the shocking wood, and the seal of the staff officer. The plaque on the top of the head has also been changed to the words "Mirror hanging".

Wu Kang looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart gradually settled down, thinking about how to draw a scoop like a gourd as it was on TV. Sitting on the Taishi chair, there was a startled bang, and he shouted with full of anger: "Who hit the drum?" Hurry up and check it out, and bring all the people to the hall! ”

Several handymen ran out of the lobby, and the crowd took the initiative to separate on both sides. In order to express judicial justice, when officials opened a court to decide a case, they were allowed to observe at the entrance of the yamen, which was the melon-eating masses in front of them. Wu Kang glanced at the observers, and was suddenly dumbfounded, Cui Wu, Lu San, Zheng Da... A bunch of fox friends and dog friends have arrived, do these goods want to see jokes?

I was too lazy to take care of them, my eyes and nose and my heart, and I sat upright. Crying came from outside the hall, and the two buildings, led by the officials, walked into the lobby. Wu Kang was dumbfounded again, no wonder he knocked on the drum, he was not beaten into a pig's head, it was this aunt! Why are you so capable, why don't you go to heaven?

Cui Jiuniang is still dressed as a man, wearing a white Confucian robe, and her clothes are fluttering and heroic. I also have a folding fan in my hand... A few days ago, she casually mentioned it, and she got it out. The girl flashed to the side, revealing several people behind her, and one who was carried, covered in blood.

A wave of people stood on both sides, and there was a lonely young man in the east, about thirty or so, fat and fat, with a face full of meat; The west side was sadder: there was a straw mat on the ground, and on the mat lay a young man, about thirty years old, with a bloodied face, and his eyes turned up, apparently a corpse. The white-haired old man stood trembling, and the young woman knelt beside the corpse, all weeping.

This is a human life lawsuit, we must be cautious and cautious, Wu Kang took a deep breath and calmed down, and was shocked: "It is forbidden to make noise above the court!" The two of you will stop crying and wait for the official to open the court to question the case. Around... Open! ”

The standing officials shouted "might, martial arts" in unison, and the water and fire sticks in their hands were like garlic hammers, pounding the floor neatly and rhythmically. This is the opening remarks of the trial of the case, which plays a role of intimidation and deterrence, similar to shouting the slogan "leniency in confession and strictness in resistance."

The opening ceremony had a good effect, and the old man and the woman stopped crying and kept wiping their tears. Next, the first step of the case questioning routine is to inquire about both parties and confirm the plaintiff and the defendant. The startling wood sounded again, and Wu Kang said in a loud voice: "Defendant, show your identity!" ”

The young man in the east bowed his hand and introduced himself: "Joining the army, my name is Liu Ziyou, I am Chinese New Year's Eve second, and I live in Xinghua Street, Zhongcheng District. There is a shop on Dongming Street, which operates a cloth business, called Ziyou Buzhuang! ”

Wu Kang looked at the plaintiff and said lightly: "The plaintiff shows his identity, the identity of the deceased, the relationship with the deceased, and the relationship between the plaintiff. ”

The old man burst into tears, trembling and saluting: "Joining the army, my name is Qi Yongzhe, and I am fifty-two this year." The one who died was the only son in my family, named Qi Yiren, who was twenty-four years old this year... This is my daughter-in-law, Qi Qin. ”

Qi Qin's... Why is it so familiar? Wu Kang was speechless, looked at Jiu Niang angrily, and asked in an official tone: "The courtier, who is the surname, where does the family live, quickly report to the official and know!" ”

Poof, the folding fan was closed, Jiuniang held the folding fan and hugged her fist, worshipping incense, not humble or arrogant: "A certain surname Wu, the name Cui Shi, the word Tang Jing, lives in Wuzhou City, the middle section of Jinhua Avenue. Dongming Avenue outside the state ya, Datang Law Firm, is Wu's industry! ”

Wu Cui's... My mom, this is the scene of the trial of a major human life case, not a place to spill dog food! Also, why don't you call Fang Tangjing?

I was too lazy to take care of her, and glanced at the back door out of the corner of my eye, the dog-headed military division hadn't come yet, so I could only bite the bullet and proceed to the second step of the process: "Both are in place, in line with the principle of opening the hall." The plaintiff submitted the pleadings, and the plaintiff Qi Yongzhe was old, and he was given a seat! ”

The two officials agreed, one went to the back office to move the stool, and the other came to Qi Yongzhe's side, took the paper and presented it. Wu Kang was about to look at the paper, when he heard Jiu Niang coughing and looked up. Following her gaze, she landed on the stool that the official had moved... What do you mean, you want to sit too? Stand up to you!

Buried his head and continued to look at the paper, he heard the official outside the door shouting: "Wuzhou Assassin Shi Cui Gong, don't drive Zhao Gong, Sima Bai Gong, come to listen to the case!" ”

Well? Why did this old guy come here, did he hear the drums and come to supervise me? Wu Kang didn't dare to delay, motioned to the official to move the Taishi chair, and came to the center of the lobby to greet him. The people who ate melons were divided on both sides, and the three bigwigs stepped in in all directions, and Wu Kang hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted: "The judiciary joined the army Wu Kang, and I have seen Cui Gong, Zhao Gong, and Bai Gong. ”

The officials brought chairs, and the standing officials moved them to the door, and the officials moved the scribes' desks away, and placed three chairs on both sides of the main hall. Waiting for the scribe to sit down, Cui Yixuan said: "The old man has heard the drum for the first time since he was appointed as the assassin of Wuzhou. Wu joins the army must be cautious and must close this case! ”

Lao Cui sat on the Taishi chair and saw Jiuniang holding a folding fan, her face was cloudy, and her long beard under her nose trembled slightly. A wicked smile flashed at the corner of Wu Kang's mouth, he coughed dryly twice, and ordered: "Left and right, give the lawyer Wu Cui's family, and also move a Taishi chair." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cui Yixuan's old face, covered with clouds, was directly blackened to the bottom of the pot, and his beard shook in a greater arc. Zhao Beijia and Bai Sima glanced at each other, and banter flashed in their eyes.

Jiuniang glanced at Wu Kang fiercely, hugged her fists again, gritted her silver teeth and explained: "Wu Shen Jun Rongyu, Cui Shi's 'Shi', is the 'Shi' of the scholars, not the surname..."

"That's enough", Cui Yixuan screamed, glared at Wu Kang and shouted: "Hugh has to grind and continue to solve the case." ”

Wu Kang nodded in agreement, glanced at the aggrieved Jiuniang, and said in his heart that your father won't let you sit, don't hate me! Returning to his seat, he carefully reviewed the plaintiff's pleadings, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brow became. The heart said that this case is too simple, Jiu Niang actually became the plaintiff's lawyer, doesn't this make me guilty?

After reading the last word, Wu Kang raised his head, looked at Qi Qin's tearful face, and asked after pondering for a while: "Qi Qin's, you said on the paper that yesterday's time, your Xiaolang's rattle was accidentally thrown into Liu's house. Your husband couldn't bear Xiaolang's crying, so he went over the wall to Liu's house to pick up a rattle. The officer asked you, yes and no? ”

Qi Qin sobbed and nodded, and said intermittently: "What Gong Wu said is that Bao'er is crying a lot, and Lang Jun is over the wall..."

There was a startled sound, and Wu Kang scolded with a straight face: "When the official asks, you only need to be able to answer 'yes' or 'no', don't say much!" ”

"The lawyer has something to say", Jiu Niang unfolded the folding fan, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yonghui Law" says that when the supervisor decides the case, he should patiently listen to the arguments of the two parties. Questioning the case must be reasonable and well-founded, and must not be confined to the format, let alone use words and actions to interfere with the arguments of the two parties. Wu is brave, please join the army to decide! ”

These words almost choked Wu Kang to death, is this a lesson for me, how can it be reasonable! No wonder the officials hate lawyers, I don't want to see them anymore! Cui Yixuan's breathing was heavier, and his beard shook even more. The other two old foxes had even more banter in their eyes.

Wu Kang coughed dryly and asked the defendant Liu Ziyou: "The plaintiff's complaint said that the deceased climbed over the courtyard wall and entered your home, and you killed him. Is this true? What utensils are used to kill people? And why kill people? Let's be honest! ”

Liu Ziyou replied: "Joining the army, it was indeed me who killed Qi Yiren. I was sleeping, and I was awakened by the barking of the dog, and when I opened the door, I saw a figure groping under the courtyard wall. I thought that there was a strong man in the house, so I picked up the stone hammer and rushed over to kill it. ”

Wu Kangchuan ordered the sign, and the autopsy slave soon came, holding the tray with both hands, and putting a bloodstained spotted stone hammer on it, "Wu Gong Rongyu, the slave has examined the corpse, and the scars are consistent with this hammer, this hammer is the murder weapon!" ”

Motioning for the autopsy slave to go down, Wu Kang looked at Liu Ziyou and said, "In this case, you can draw a charge!" ”

The scribe on the left got up, walked over with the written confession, and spread it on the ground. Liu Ziyou squatted down to take a closer look, took the pen handed by the officer, and signed and drew on it. Lift up your sleeve and dip your right hand in the mud, and under the guidance of the officials, press the five fingerprints and mudras.

Wu Kang looked at Qi Qin's family, sighed lightly and said: "The Law of Thieves and Thieves of the Law of Yonghui, Article 22, those who enter people's homes without reason at night will be flogged forty. The master kills the one when he arrives, don't worry. And those who kill or injure without violating the knowledge shall be killed or injured by the second degree. Qi Yongzhe, Qi Qin, listen to the official's explanation. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and explained: "After dark, break into the courtyard of someone else's house, and the intruder will draw forty rattan whips. The owner kills the intruder without any legal responsibility. Five quarters is a watch day, and it is already nighttime. Qi Yiren climbed over the wall and entered the defendant's house, which has already constituted a crime, and picking up a rattle is not a special accident, let alone an excuse for a crime! As for your appeal..."

Wu Kang pondered for a moment and said: "Qi Yiren is not lost, not drunk and disordered, not old and young, and sick, not a frail woman, not in line with the 'knowing non-aggression'. Therefore, the official did not support the pleadings and acquitted the defendant according to the law! ”

The lobby was in an uproar, the auditors were talking, Liu Ziyou was complacent, the three big guys were noncommittal, and the Qi family obviously couldn't accept it. Qi Qin's family cried loudly, and Qi's father-in-law also burst into tears, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "Ask Wu to join the army to uphold justice, I am such a son, I can't die innocently... Ask for martial arts to join the army and uphold justice..."

Seeing that Uncle Qi was in pain, Wu Kang was not a taste, but the law is like this, and no one can do anything. You can't take risks and break the law just because you spoil your children. Shaking her head helplessly, and just as she was about to make a final verdict, Jiu Niang shouted again: "Wu Shen Jun Rong, there is another hidden story in this case!" ”

This voice is so loud that my aunt and grandmother are broken. Wu Kang once again made a shocking sound, and the officials on the station shouted "might, martial arts", and the scene quieted down. Jiuniang's face was red and her neck was thick, Wu Kang couldn't cry or laugh, so she could only say helplessly: "What else is hidden, please also ask Wu Cui's to say it clearly, and this official will investigate in detail!" ”

Cui Yixuan has an eye knife, and Wu Kang's scalp is itchy; Jiuniang has an eye knife, and Wu Kang's scalp is numb. With a cold snort, a cold voice struck: "Wu joins the army, the Qi and Liu families are neighbors, and the Qi family shares the courtyard wall of the Liu family because of poverty." Five years ago, the Liu family built a new home, but they occupied the three-foot homestead of the Qi family and re-erected the courtyard wall. ”

Hearing this, Wu Kang was stunned, does the case have to be reversed? The corner of his eye swept inadvertently, and the dog-headed military master wandered at the back door, quickly rolled his eyes over, and asked in a low voice: "Lao Su, tell you the truth, is there a difference between real estate and real estate in this dynasty?" Is the homestead not yours, the house above is yours? ”

The Soviet division shook his head decisively, leaned over and whispered: "Please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have never heard of real estate!" According to the rules of this dynasty, the land and the house are one, the land is not yours, and the house is not yours! ”

Wu Kang couldn't help but pout, sat upright again, and Jiu Niang continued to state: "The night of the thief's law entered the house for no reason, the key is the word 'home', which refers to the courtyard house. The Liu family occupies three feet across the Qi family's homestead, and the courtyard wall belongs to the Qi family. The place where the victim died was at the root of the courtyard wall, and the body lay against the courtyard wall, completely within three feet. ”

Jiu Niang was unforgiving, and her words were even more aggressive: "In other words, the victim Qi Yiren was killed in his own yard; In other words, entering someone's house at night without reason cannot be used as a basis for judging this case. I respectfully ask the military to be aware of everything, bring the perpetrators to justice, and seek justice for the victims! ”

The big reversal really came, and the people who ate melons climaxed instantly, and they were coaxing one after another. Especially those fox friends and dog friends, seeing the excitement is not a big deal, they actually took the lead in shouting, asking for clarity. Cui Lao Fox also climaxed, leisurely stroked his beard, and glanced at the other two. The other two were no longer joking, and sat there looking at their noses and noses.

This little girl deceives people too much, and she has portrayed me as a confused official, which is simply unreasonable! The startled wood slammed, and the sound of "might, martial arts" followed, and the lobby was silent again. Wu Kang pondered, since it is destined to be planted this time, let's praise the future daughter-in-law.

Defendant Liu Ziyou's face turned pale, and when he saw that the general situation was not good, he quickly knelt down and shouted injustice. Wu Kang was worried that he couldn't find the punching bag, so he immediately slapped the startled wood and scolded him sharply: "Did the official let you speak?" If you dare to say it uninvited, you will be punished for the crime of roaring in the court, and honestly shut up the official! ”

Liu Ziyou was almost scared to pee and collapsed to the ground. Wu Kang despised his eyes, buried himself in writing, stamped the judicial military seal, and handed it over to the dog-headed military division. After Lao Su left, he looked at Jiuniang and asked, "Wu Cui... Martial lawyer, the Liu family occupies the Qi family's homestead, can there be real evidence? ”
