Hearing this cry, Meng Tianchu's heart seemed to be jerked suddenly, and seeing her crying so much that it was unspeakably pity. Meng Tianchu forcibly endured his pity for the fragrance and cherished the jade, and deliberately asked lightly: "You replaced your father as a scribe in the torture room, so do you understand the name of the punishment?" ”

As soon as Murong Yuxue heard this, she felt that there seemed to be a turn for the better in Meng Tianchu's words, and hurriedly nodded again and again: "I understand!" My father has been a veteran criminal scribe for many years, I have been learning from my father since I was a child, my father has bad eyes in the past two years, and my father's work is written by me. ”

Wen Ming also said: "Yes, Miss Murong has been replacing his father in the yamen for almost a year, and in this year, she is completely competent, and you can guarantee this point." ”

"Oh," Meng Tianchu nodded, "This matter is very important, the contemptible person has to personally inspect it, if after the examination, you are indeed competent, then we still have to discuss, if not, you have to leave, how about it?" ”

Murong Yuxue seemed to be very confident in the name of the sentence, and nodded happily: "Thank you, master, may I ask." ”

Meng Tianchu turned his head to Wen Ming and said, "Secretary Wen, please avoid it, the contemptible person should examine her alone." ”

"Yes!" Wen Ming hunched out the door and closed the door.

Meng Tianchu said: "Miss Murong, you get up, just stand and answer." ”

"Yes! Thank you, Master! Murong Yuxue stood up and stood sideways with her head bowed.

Meng Tianchu thought for a while and asked, "In this way, you can first tell me about the before and after trial of a criminal case." I'll hear if you're familiar with the program. ”

Hearing this question, Murong Yuxue breathed a sigh of relief, she was also worried that Meng Tianchu would ask some tricky and strange questions to embarrass her, and now when she heard that Meng Tianchu was only asking the most basic question about the name of the sentence, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "On the day of the announcement, the clerk on duty in the torture room will give the certificate to the chief of the duty hall, and the chief of the hall will present it to the eldest master, and the eldest master will give it to the master of the criminal name. The chief judge will circle the dot with the Zhu pen, and the chief seal will be stamped with the seal, and it will be published on the wall, even if the case is filed. ”

Meng Tianchu listened to her like a treasure, and half of the stone in his heart was put down, thinking that his advisor to the criminal master had eyebrows, and couldn't help but nod.

At this time, Murong Yuxue peeked at Meng Tianchu, saw him smiling and nodding, thinking that he was very satisfied with his answer, he was very relieved, hurriedly withdrew his eyes, and continued: "After the case is filed, the eldest lord asks for an invoice card for the arrest or soap to go to organize the original defendant to mediate, carry out an investigation, or seal up the property, if the mediation fails and it is really necessary to open a court, it will be noted on the ticket card and sent to the torture room, and the clerk in charge of the case will make a list of the defendants and witnesses listed in the complaint according to the names and addresses of the defendants and witnesses listed in the complaint. The report is decided. ”

Meng Tianchuqi said: "Decided? What to decide? Who is the defendant, isn't it the end of the direct transmission? ”

How did Murong Zhenxue know that the famous master in front of her was a half-hung master who couldn't even count as half a bottle of vinegar, she didn't understand this question, and thought that she was deliberately questioning her, so she hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to the master, 'a little Zhu in the hall, a thousand drops of blood among the people', it is best not to pass on those who can not pass it on, and those who can pass it on as little as possible, especially women, except for the defendant's rebellion, rebellion, unfilial piety, murder, theft and other serious crimes, must not be the 'head of the case', and can only be 'sued' by the father, brother and grandchildren." ”

Meng Tianchu remembered that in ancient times, litigation was not advocated, thinking that it was a very shameful thing, until modern society, the common people generally thought that the role of "defendant" was a very shameful thing, which was the influence of the distorted litigation values in ancient times, so the summoning of defendants in ancient times was also very careful, of course, if you encounter corrupt officials and criminal masters with black conscience, then summoning the defendant has become a good opportunity for extortion, forcing these defendants to spend money on relationships, and let others respond to the lawsuit instead of themselves.

Meng Tianchu nodded again and again: "Very good, you are very familiar with the name of the sentence." ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Murong Yuxue bowed and replied.

Meng Tianchu squinted his eyes and continued to ask, "Then what should happen next?" ”

"Then it's time for the old man to go to the court to ask about the case, and for those who are brutal and do not confess in the criminal case, they can be tortured according to the law. Until the defendant pleads guilty, or the parties reach a settlement in the civil case. ”

"Well, let's talk about how to make a judgment."

"Yes, the judgment drafted by the master should be composed of two parts, the first part is called 'trial', which is in the style of four or six characters, four characters and one pair, and six characters and one couplet, to judge the criminal responsibility of the criminal case, or to determine the merits of the civil case dispute, and it is necessary to cite scriptures; The second part is called 'Tricks'. The recruitment is divided into three parts: the first is 'pleading', which should state the defendant's attitude towards his own culpability, and the second is 'negotiation', which should specifically list the specific crimes committed by the defendant and cite specific laws and regulations to impose criminal punishments. The third is 'according to the law', that is, what kind of punishment is imposed on the defendant or how to deal with civil disputes. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he had some bottom in his heart, although it was complicated, but the general style was also simple, but the style of these four or six pun was Ma Daha, so he asked: "Will you write this sentence?" ”

Murong Yuxue hurriedly said: "Yes, I helped my father copy a lot of judgments before." ”

Meng Tianchu's heart was relieved again, and he remembered one more thing, and asked, "Do you know how the jurisdiction of criminal cases is divided?" ”

"It is known that among the five punishments of flogging for exile, the state and county may make a final judgment on the second sentence of flogging and cane, and if it is necessary to sentence the cane to death, the state and county shall draft the sentence and report it for approval in accordance with the law. It's called 'dismissal'. ”

"How do you write a debriefing document?"

"Returning to the master, the release document is composed of four parts, divided into 'report', 'investigation', 'confession', and 'investigation'."

Meng Tianchu's head was big when he heard this, these ancient legal documents were really complicated by his grandmother, it seemed that he was looking for the right master of the criminal name, but this could not let this little girl see it, so he looked at her noncommittally, and did not speak for a long time.

Murong Yuxue looked at Meng Tianchu nervously, like a prisoner waiting for the final verdict. After a long time, Meng Tianchu sighed softly: "Alas~! Your criminal name can only be regarded as so-so, but in the end, you are a woman, according to the guidelines, you can't show your face in the yamen, let you stay in this yamen, once it is known, the contemptible people will have to bear a lot of responsibility, this ......"
