Chapter 447: Ascension to the court

Many ordinary people in Jiangzhou are clapping their hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause of the usually more ruthless and extreme Manichaean dojo, from top to bottom, none of them were arrested by the Taiping army. It is rumored that the famous general Dang Shixiong was really found out and found an unexplained charred corpse.

Under Gao Fangping's rule, everything is simple and rude, and the other calves are removed from the mother, although there are many local and respected people in Jiangzhou who have come to intercede and find reasons, and what kind of etiquette is it.

All of them were scolded by the Great Demon King and ran away: "Get out of here, you are not qualified to talk about the Ministry of Rites, how to tear up with the Religious Division, it is a matter for me Gao Fangping to consider and not you, I will arrest people if there is a corpse, this has no emotion to talk about at all." I am a vassal sent by the Emperor to protect his people, not a bureaucrat sent by the Department of Religion to kneel and lick. There is only one way to talk under my rule, and that is not to die, then everything is easy to say. In Jiangzhou, there is only one person who has the right to play hooligans and kill people, and that is Gao Fangping, the head of Jiangzhou appointed by the emperor, not any other birdman. ”

……

"Ascension."

"Mighty—"

Accompanied by the sound of the beating of the killing stick, Gao Fangping personally drove to the state government to try the case involving the burning of Manichaeism.

This is a public trial, and a large number of people are allowed to watch the dojo, and at the same time, civil servants who have nothing to do are also present to learn how to watch the Great Demon King try the case.

There are many people who will try cases, and Zhao Ding is much stronger than Gao Fangping. Shi Jing Jie Ding Er knows more laws than Gao Fangping, and they will be more rigorous.

But none of this matters, coming here is not to see how big Gao Fangping's brain is, but to further determine what the wind direction is in Jiangzhou. Yes, that's right, otherwise you will be wronged if you look at the wrong direction of the wind when you die, and watching Gao Fangping's trial is not to learn business, but to understand what the current political climate in Jiangzhou is.

It is related to Manichaeism, if Cai Qian is here and muddy, and then it is gone, then it is obvious that it means that all kinds of Taoist monks and monks will be allowed to fire during that period, that is, political correctness. After that, the county lords did the same, but whenever there was anything related to Manichaeism, they would back down, not report it, and then suppress the other common people.

Why let Manichaeism go, because after the government pulls the shelf, all that remains is the logic that crying children have milk.

Once Cai Qian received money from Manichaeism and Taoist monks, there was no doubt that the government would definitely pull the strings. Or when encountering bureaucrats who are honest but don't like trouble, such as Zhang Miancheng, who doesn't take money, but he is also afraid of tearing up with the Religious Department of the Ministry of Rites, then he will also let it go to a certain extent, and it can still be regarded as a bias.

In this case of one person's life, although Gao Fangping is also a judge, he is a Jiangzhou judge, and Gao Fangping needs to be in charge of sentencing Xu Honggang to 5,000 people to death, but under normal circumstances, similar cases are reviewed by each county itself, as long as Zhao Ding, the Jiangzhou prosecutor, does not protest, it will take effect and be sent to the Criminal Prosecution Division for a verdict.

But this time, the Manichaean people have been arrested for some time, and Gao Fangping issued a document asking all the "judges" in Jiangzhou to come and say to them: I will teach you how to try the case.

Teaching those judges is a joke, Pork Ping has made jokes about not understanding the law when he arrived in Jiangzhou, but everyone must be very active, because this case is a weather vane, which is a big change in the judicial orientation of Jiangzhou during this term of office.

Originally, I wanted to let De 1 judge the county, and Gao Fangping listened, but unfortunately Zhang Miancheng was not the material to be a judge, he could only do something else. And Shi Jingjie can only preside over the work of Dehua County, but he is not a real magistrate of the county and has no judicial power. Yes, the official position of the hour is not qualified to judge the case, and he can only preside over the work under the framework of the government and the Great Song Dynasty.

So when it came to the state government, Gao Fangping personally presided over the trial.

Public prosecutor: Zhao Ding, Jiangzhou judicial army.

Yes, Zhao Ding is not a judge, he is a prosecutor, and he is responsible for stating the evidence he has to Gao Fangping this time, so that Gao Fangping can judge whether he wants to cut people, if he is wrong, it is Zhao Ding's problem, indicating that the evidence he provided is problematic, then he will hang Xiao Zhao.

Like a dumb official, listless, and his hat was a little crooked, Gao Fangping sat on top of the high hall, looking at the twenty-three Manichaean members kneeling under the hall and involved in the case, and then looked at the other side, an old man and a child who were reported as witnesses.

"The credibility of a witness is very much related to his birth, occupation, and identity." Gao Fangping did not follow the procedure at the beginning, and asked directly: "Zhao Ding, this is not a small case, do you verify the background of the witness." ”

Zhao Dingdao: "It has been verified that the indigenous people of Jiangzhou, three generations of farmers, have paid taxes in full and have no unscrupulous records, and they are not anonymously reported. ”

This is not a background in the court of later generations, but in the Great Song Dynasty, the weight of ordinary Xiucai's words is really not as good as this old man. The ancient peasant was really awesome and important. Three generations of farmers have no bad records, even if Cai Qian is promoted, he has to give face to this old man, because he is really a first-class good citizen of Zhao Ji.

Gao Fangping nodded, stopped asking this question, and said, "Explain the case to this official." ”

Zhao Ding said: "De1hua County has more reports from witnesses and reports to the company, so with the cooperation of the forbidden army and the sent people, they entered the dojo to verify that there was indeed a body that was burned to death and they did not have a clear explanation. According to the judgment, the time of the burned death coincided with the time reported by the witness, and there was no error. Based on this, our company believes that it is a private law of lynching, and the crime of setting up a private court is to be won in accordance with the law of the Great Song Dynasty and is waiting for the public review. ”

Gao Fangping knocked on the wood and asked, "Manichaeans, what are your arguments?" ”

No one spoke.

The people, Shi Jingjie and others were very excited to feel that this was right, giving up the defense, in the Great Song Dynasty, it was equivalent to admitting Zhao Ding's accusation, how simple it was. Now the case can be finalized.

Gao Fangping frowned, because Gao Fangping's purpose was not to cut people, but to make a public trial, that is, to expose something, to spread it out, not to be silent.

After thinking for a while, Gao Fangping said: "Manichaeans, do you know that silence is sometimes not golden. To abandon the plea is to admit guilt or implicate family members. Even if I try the case with Gao Fangping, in fact, it doesn't mean that all of them will die, and the specific incident must be analyzed in detail. Those who don't speak are acquiescing in the participation of twenty-three people, all of whom are guilty of killing their heads, but sometimes according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, most people are often not capital crimes, and it may not be enough to send out and fill the army. The Han family thinks, ants are still stealing life, and their parents who are suffering from the skin of their bodies can abuse their lives at will when they do not deserve to die. Resisting the law of the Great Song Dynasty is disloyal to the king, going against the will of your parents to raise you, etc., this is unfilial piety. It is unkind to ignore the burning of human lives and do nothing, and it is unjust to dare not expose and protect the majority of suffering people like you. Therefore what you are doing is not doctrine, it is not martyrdom, but disloyalty, filial piety, and unrighteousness. ”

Speaking of this, it seemed that among the twenty-three sect members, the expressions on the faces of some of them changed.

Gao Fangping continued: "This official is not literate anymore, let's say something modest, damn you're not loyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and you still keep the doctrine of an egg?" You don't want your ancestors to ignore your mother, what doctrine do you keep? Will it still fulfill its wishes after death? Lao Tzu is strange, if I am a god, unless I am a god who takes anti-1 person and 1 class as his own responsibility, then you let me go to favor a group of unfaithful and unfilial people, do you think I will? The one with a birthmark on the corner of his mouth, the sneaky one, you answer me, you are a god, who do you bless? ”

The guy had a pale face and lowered his head, and he was the one with the biggest change in expression.

Gao Fangping scolded angrily: "What kind of dirty cat thoughts, most of you are Han people, the Four Books and the Five Classics, people are filial piety, my Han family's thinking is so broad and profound, I don't listen, I want to listen to the crooked reasoning that I haven't heard of." So I asked, is it worth worshipping the gods who encourage you to be disloyal and unfilial? ”

"I am surprised that this is not the case with the doctrine I teach." A guy who seemed to have a bit of status in their group said crepe.

Gao Fangping looked at him and said coldly: "Slap your mouth first." “

After his mouth was swollen, Gao Fangping said: "First of all, you have to understand the law, if I don't ask in court, there will be no room for you to speak." This is one. Secondly, you are half a bucket of water, as far as your filthy cat doctrine is concerned, even if Fang La comes here, he can't argue with me, which onion do you have to talk to me? ”

His mouth was swollen, so he stopped talking.

This time, Gao Fangping said again: "Allow me to open my mouth and answer my own official." ”

He said in a crepe manner: "Lord Hui, I am not the dirty cat you described, but a kind of registered thought, in line with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Earlier, they acquiesced in their guilt, and everyone rejoiced, but now Zhao Ding has a headache, and finally got to the most unavoidable problem, something at the level of politics and the court.

Gao Fangping touched his chin and said, "You have the idea of having an egg with me?" If it's not legal, can you still have a dojo? You think my pork flat butcher's knife isn't fast enough, do you? This parish is not about any religious issues with you, but about murder. ”

"So what?" He froze, apparently he didn't really take it as a problem.

Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and said, "So what?" The emperor's people were killed, and the official sat here, do you think he was a guest for dinner? “

"My teachings are greater than the laws of the land, this is determined by the gods, and there is a precedent for the execution of infidels......" he said quickly.

He spoke a little fast, stuttered a little heavily, and had a relatively difficult dialect accent, so the people who were watching the trial and many officials present did not hear it very clearly.

Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and said, "Repeat what you just said to me." By the way, let everyone hear the greatness of your teaching. ”

This heavily brainwashed person didn't think it was a big deal, but he was about to say more, when he found a very sharp stare from the crowd of onlookers.

Glancing back at the direction, as if instructed by something, he fell silent and stopped talking.
