11. Debate the Western Court
"It's nonsense, and it's a lot of quibble." Xue Fan scolded angrily.
The little girl was so frightened that tears fell down, and she didn't dare to breathe when she lowered her head, so Gao Yue grabbed the other party's sleeve and said relief.
And Liu Kui whispered directly in Dou Shen's ear, with many gestures, but Dou Shen did not rush to express his position, but continued, "It doesn't hurt to be outspoken. ”
"Gao Zhengzi, we are the three envoys sent by His Majesty, the seriousness of this matter does not need us to say much at all, as long as you are willing to pent the sins of Lingnan and save the relationship between my Tang and friends, and everything else, of course we will protect you in front of the Holy Lord." Liu Qipi didn't smile and pretended to be red-faced.
"Since Doctor Liu is the third envoy, can you understand my Tang Law?" Gao Yue suddenly said with a sneer.
"Ridiculous ......" Liu Kui was a little embarrassed and even more annoyed - because he really didn't understand.
"Bring in the blade." Gao Yue then pleaded.
The two hall officials held Guo Xiaofeng's horizontal knife, and the saber of the Hui people were placed in the center of the court one by one.
Gao Yue pointed out and said, "The knife of this Hui people is naturally different from Guo Yuhou's knife regulation. Then he unfastened his shirt, revealing the wound on his left arm, "The servant's wound was caused by the slashing of the servant." And the wounds of the dead woman were also caused by the chopping of the Hui people. ”
"So what? It's normal to hurt people in an argument! Xue Fan shook his head.
"Xue Sheren, the servant didn't carry any blades at all that day, and the woman is also different, with no blade against blade, is this called normal?"
"This ......" Before Xue Fan could speak, Gao Yue said, "In the East City of the Tang Dynasty, Hui Hui and Hu Shang openly hid their blades, and according to the law of guarding and prohibiting in the Tang Law, they should be hanged - I don't know if Xue Sheren read the Tang Law?" ”
"Me!" Xue Sheren was speechless, and Liu Qi next to him hurriedly explained, "Hui is a place outside the country, and the customs and methods are different from my Tang, and there is no doubt about carrying a blade. ”
"Doctor Liu is fallacious, Tang Law said this, all outsiders who commit crimes of the same kind are in accordance with their own common laws; Those who commit crimes of different kinds shall be judged by law. Although Yue is a small official, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he is a Chinese, and he is a 'stranger' from Huiqi, and now he has been slashed by Huiqi people with a bladeless body, and another woman has been beheaded to death by the same criminal. ”
It turns out that Gao Yue's "Tang Law Shu Yi" does stipulate that "those who commit crimes against outsiders of the same kind shall follow their own common laws; Those who commit crimes of different kinds shall be judged by law. ”
This means that if two Silla people had a dispute in the Tang Dynasty, they would be sent to the Silla "Chief" and dealt with by Silla law, which is the so-called "personal legalism". However, when "aliens commit crimes," that is, if "aliens" infringe on Chinese, or Chinese infringe upon "aliens," or if there is a dispute between two foreigners from different countries, they will "treat it according to law," that is, according to Tang law, which is the so-called "territorial legalism."
Now Gao Yue and the woman who died are Tang people, and they were injured by the Hui drunk for no reason, so they naturally have to be dealt with according to Tang law.
Gao Yue's words directly pierced the true face of the "three envoys" Liu Kui who didn't understand the law at all, and was so angry that the other party stopped talking.
Over there, Guo Xiaofeng was also dumbfounded, and admired Gao Langjun even more in his heart, but he was even more worried below, "What should I say about the incident of killing two Hu Shang with a knife?" ”
"Then Gao Yue, how do you explain that you killed the Hui people with your backhand? Though others have wounded you with a sword, and the wound is shallow, you have wounded someone to death, and your sin is unforgivable. Xue Fan began to chase after him again.
Dou Shen always had a cold face and sat there without saying a word.
Gao Yue thought to himself, what kind of law-blind and shameless people are sitting in this court! It seems that what Guo Xiaofeng said in front of him is correct, it is estimated that Hu Shang secretly bribed many officials in the DPRK and China on weekdays, coupled with the so-called policy of buying horses from Hui Fu, so many bastards will happen.
He cleared his throat, "Because the Hui Hui killed the woman with a blade, and tried to kill the little maid next to me with a blade, who was also the daughter of the dead woman, I killed the Hui Hui in order to save the little maid, according to the Tang law (no guilt will be investigated)." ”
At this time, Dou Shen suddenly spoke, "Gao Zhengzi is proficient in the law, and he should know that officials, private slaves and maids are equivalent to livestock...... and then he paused, and said to Gao Yue, "There is a royal history to report, saying that the death of this little maid mother has been compensated by Hu Shang, so he will not sue." ”
"Zhongcheng!" Gao Yue suddenly said with a straight face, and then bowed to Dou, "There is no human life, it can be equivalent to livestock." ”
Dou Shen sighed and stopped talking.
"Even if it is livestock, if someone enters at night and steals the owner's cattle, the owner kills it."
Xue Fan and Liu Qi sneered, pointed at Gao Yue and Guo Xiaofeng, and said, "But this little maid master has accepted the compensation, how can it be your turn to kill you and Guo Yuhou?" ”
At this time, Guo Xiaofeng's back was full of sweat of fear.
I didn't expect that acting bravely and killing a murderer would provoke such a ferocious attack from the people of this dynasty.
Tang Lu made it clear that if a gangster wields a blade and causes injury to death, even others can be arrested and sent to the government. Guo Yuhou and I are exactly like this - Tang Lu said again, if the two beat each other, and then shot and were reasonable, don't worry. ”
"That's right, so you and Guo Yuhou should arrest him, you can subdue him by not killing him, Gao Zhengzi, after you take the opponent's blade, can't you just cut off your legs and hands, so that he can't move and then twist it to the government to be punished impartially? This heavy hand hurt people's lives, and he said that he was not to blame? ”
Gao Yue's brows tightened, thinking to himself, how could X's rhetoric feel so familiar? Let me grab the blade with my bare hands, not to mention, let me only cut off my legs and hands, and I can't let him die, you and I have practiced Dugu Nine Swords!
Fortunately, when he was writing the judgment some time ago, he was also familiar with Tang Law, so he directly reported the reason, "If the villain refuses to defend with a cane, he will not be killed."
Xue Fan and Liu Kui were completely speechless at this time.
Guo Xiaofeng secretly made a fist gesture and raised his eyebrows.
In the imperial history, Cheng Dou Shen got up, solemnly walked to Gao Yue, and whispered, "Everything that Gao Zhengzi said, this Zhongcheng has been fully transcribed, and it will be sent to the Zichen Hall at dawn soon, please wait here for a while, but how about the law, in the end, it is not enough to have a holy will - Gao Zhengzi, take care." ”
After finishing speaking, Dou Shen held the file of the case and left the court with Xue Sheren and Liu Qizhong.
Only Gao Yue, Guo Xiaofeng and the little maid were left, still sitting there.
"Gao Zhengzi, what do you think will happen to the two of us in the end?"
"Don't think about it, your sins must be heavier than mine." Gao Yue did not forget to intimidate Guo Xiaofeng.
"Hmph, it's a big deal to go to Dushuliu in the West City, or Dog Ridge in the East City." Guo Xiaofeng's green skin came up again, "After death, I asked Gao Zhengzi to write a Shinto inscription for Xiaofeng, and I had no hatred." ”
He didn't know that his father Guo Forging originally wanted the Hui people to break into the county party, kill Gao Yue and kill him, and then cut him with a knife (non-vital point) to offset his crime, but Guo Forging didn't expect Gao Yue to win over his son in advance and successfully escape to Daming Palace.
