Chapter 457: Take a Step Back
Ji Ning said: "The Dayong Code stipulates that if the original owner of the house, Buddha statue, and temple is mourned, and there is no direct family successor, all the disciples of the sect will inherit the elders, and the direct relatives of the secular family shall not interfere...... If the old monk in the temple passes away, even his immediate family has no right to inherit, but to continue to pass on to the monks and the little novices, today Hui Yan Zen Master has passed away, and it is legal to pass on the temple and the field house to the same disciples, how can others interfere? ”
What Ji Ning said was reasonable, and it also carried the exact content of the Dayong Code, which could not be questioned by Xu Licheng and others, and when Ji Ning said this, even Zhang Yulian and Liu Qi and others were silent.
A Jinshi, at most, is good in learning, they still lack professional knowledge such as law, even if the magistrate wants to judge the case, the people below will first look through various codes to determine the crime, and finally the magistrate will read out the results of the trial, now Ji Ning said this, Xu Licheng doesn't know if it's true, and he still needs to find someone to pull the Dayong Code to see if these contents are compiled by Ji Ning.
"Ji Ning, you said this, did you deceive the official?" Xu Licheng felt very faceless, he was the magistrate, but he didn't know the law of Dayong, but he was not as good as Ji Ning, as if telling someone that he was not as good as a person in terms of being an official, which was a great insult to his personality.
Ji Ning shook his head slightly and said: "Everything that is said below can be checked in the Dayong Codex, Master Huiyan passed away, although he did not leave an exact written record to pass on to his disciples, but the law is like this, since Xu Zhixian already knows, it is better to judge the case directly!" ”
Xu Licheng looked at the scribe and others next to him, the scribe was already pulling the Dayong Codex to see if what Ji Ning said was true, and after a long time, the scribe pulled out what Ji Ning said, and said in Xu Licheng's ear, although he couldn't hear what Xu Licheng said, but seeing Xu Licheng's dark face, he knew that what Ji Ning said was not a lie, which made Xu Licheng very faceless.
"The case ...... We need to think about it in the long run! After Xu Licheng learned that the case was unfavorable to the people of the Liu Mansion, he wanted to delay the case so that the case could be retried.
Ji Ning said: "My lord, now that both the plaintiff and the defendant are in court, everything will be judged in accordance with the laws of the Great Yong Dynasty, so why do you have to think about it in the long run?" ”
Zhang Yulian said: "Okay, you Ji Ning, do you dare to blackmail Zhixian County?" ”
"There is no intention to coerce the county, but now it is official, Shu'an Hall and the fields outside the city are more than 30 acres, which are owned by Master Huiyan, the owner of Shu'an Hall, and now Hui Yan has passed away, these properties should be owned by the successor hall master of Shu'an Hall, it is a matter of course, since these fields have been sent out by Liu Yuanwai, and then have nothing to do with Liu Yuanwai, how can the descendants of Liu Mansion ask for these fields and houses again? Please also ask the county to directly judge the case, let a few little masters of Shu'antang inherit this farmhouse, and from then on, no one from Liufu will be allowed to interfere with Shu'antang, if the county can't judge the case impartially, go to Jingzhao Mansion to appeal and see which side Jingzhao Mansion Yin is standing on! ”
After Ji Ning said this, the crowd burst into deafening cheers, which was an affirmation of Ji Ning's logic and language ability.
Although many people can't understand what Ji Ning is saying, listening to Ji Ning's debating skills, helping some little nuns fight lawsuits, and making those so-called officials deflated, it is very enjoyable for ordinary people to hear.
Xu Licheng, Zhang Yulian and others were all disgraced, their expressions were already very aggrieved, but they refused to admit that it was Ji Ning who won in the end.
"It is up to the official to enter the inner hall to renegotiate and make a final decision!" Xu Licheng almost went down from the public hall in embarrassment and went directly to the inner hall.
As soon as the people left, the cheers of the people in the public hall outside were even louder.
Ji Ning is like a big hero who is the master of the people, everyone is greeting Ji Ning, as if Ji Ning can also help them redress their grievances.
Zhang Yulian and the people of Liu's Mansion felt even more embarrassed, and finally Zhang Yulian also went to the back hall of the Yamen under the pretext of excuses, he is a Jinshi, with a big face, even the small Zhixian Yamen Public Hall can enter and exit freely, as for Liu Qi, he does not have such a big face, staying in the court, his status is not a little different from Ji Ning.
"Ji Jieyuan, we Xu Zhixian invite you to go inside, and I have something to say to you!" The previous scribe walked out and said.
Ji Ning said: "What else is there to say? It's better to stay outside as well! ”
"It's better to go in and discuss, it's convenient for others, it's convenient for yourself, isn't it?" The scribe said with a smile.
Ji Ning then strode towards the back hall of the Yamen, and when he arrived at the back hall, he saw Zhang Yulian and Xu Licheng looking up at him, obviously the two Jinshi of the same year had already discussed the problem.
Ji Ning said: "Xu Zhixian, Zhang Jinshi, what do you mean today?" Why should you be invited to the back court to hear the case in court? ”
Xu Li said: "Ji Ning, that's the case, you see...... In this case, you have some upper hand, but you still have to give this official and Zhang Jinshi a step down, right? ”
"I don't understand what the two of you mean." Ji Ning pretended not to know.
"So be it." Xu Li admitted, "The official doesn't talk nonsense with you, what about this case, the official is going to judge like this, the few acres of land in Shu'an Hall, as well as the temple, will belong to those little nuns, and as for the fields outside the city before Shu'an Hall, they will belong to Liu's Mansion, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Yulian also nodded slightly and looked at Ji Ning, as if this proposal had won his approval.
Ji Ning squinted his eyes and said, "Xu Zhixian is not fair to the several masters of Shu'an Hall with such a judgment?" ”
"Where is there fairness in everything?" Xu Li admitted, "Let's just say that Liu Yuanwai gave all the land of the field house to a person who came out of the dust, so it will lead people to reverie, if there are rumors outside, it is the old nun and the little nun of Shu'an Hall, what do they have to do with the people of Liu's mansion...... Hooking up also has an impact on Hui Yan's reputation, and now that it is judged, both sides take a step back, and it will be regarded as the official who comes out to be a peacemaker, how about it? ”
Ji Ning was willing to accept this result in his heart, but in fact, he didn't expect to get back the land outside the city.
But he couldn't agree very happily, and needed to make some hesitation: "What about the cost of this lawsuit......"
"Of course, it is the people of the Liu Mansion who bear it." Xu Li admitted, "The Liu family has a big business, and they spend more silver, that is their own willingness, as a lifter, you come out to help others, isn't it also out of a moment of righteous indignation?" Now that the people of the Liu Mansion have broken the money, they only have to go back a few acres of land, which is regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment, and you can also go back......"
Ji Ning smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”
