Chapter 624: The New Assassin is a very good official

In the Tang Dynasty, officials were not allowed to observe the trial of cases like the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and of course, the imperial court did not say that they were not allowed to observe. Between what is allowed and what is not, the vast majority of officials will choose not to allow it.

In the process of hearing the case, the people began to be officially allowed to observe, and the official who watched the trial was precisely Di Renjie behind Wang Ping'an. But even Di Renjie was in the middle and late stages, because of the accumulation of experience in judging cases, so that he had strong self-confidence and was not afraid of the people listening, so he would allow the people to stand outside the door and watch him solve the case.

Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when officials tried cases, it did not become the norm for the people to be allowed to observe, but there were only a few heinous major cases, and when the case was finalized, the government would open it to observe.

In the early Tang Dynasty, when the style of gate valves had just been broken, no official had officially opened to observe. It's not like in film and television dramas, where the officials in the hall are shocked, and a group of people outside are watching and coaxing, this situation is ...... Anyway, it rarely appeared in the early Tang Dynasty, except in very special cases.

Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, not to mention the gap between the family and the commoners, even if it was between the families, there were still high-grade and poor, the officials and the commoners had nothing to do with each other, and it was the officials' business to judge the case, what right did the people have to watch? This is one of them.

And the second is serious, especially for officials, that is, officials are not necessarily proficient in the law, and sometimes they can't think of which law to use when trying cases, so they have to investigate now, how shameful it is! If an official can't think of which law to use when trying a case, and there are people watching outside, then the official can only be shocked and call out to withdraw from the court and try it again at a later date.

is not an official, and if you don't sit behind a big case, you can say whatever you want, but once you become an official, your mentality will immediately change, the official-oriented thinking will prevail, and no official is willing to make a fool of herself in public. Until the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were still officials who ran back to check the law when they tried the case, and in the early Tang Dynasty, when the style of the gate valve was still strong, it was like a pipe dream to let the officials risk being embarrassed and allow the people to observe the trial.

If any official can break the characteristics of this era, it will definitely be remembered by the people and the deeds of this official will be widely spread.

For example, Di Renjie, who judges cases like a god!

It's a pity that the current Di Renjie is still a small county magistrate, and he is not the old Di Ge who can come to analyze it as soon as he touches his beard in the future, and his self-confidence has not yet been cultivated!

Di Renjie heard Wang Ping'an say that the people were allowed to observe, he immediately became anxious, he was a county order, he must go to the court to try the case, it is impossible to hand it all over to his subordinates, if he did not try the case well when he went to the court, wouldn't it be embarrassing, he couldn't afford to lose this person, no one could afford to lose it!

Di Renjie pulled Wang Ping'an's sleeve and whispered: "Big brother, if you have something to say, what are you listening to, what do the people know, why do you want them to listen?" Besides, let them sit in on the hearing, isn't it to delay time, how good it is to have this time to do some work, make more money, and add some food to the bowl of your wife and children! ”

Qiu Tingxuan sweated on his forehead, and he also said, "Yes, no disease...... Lord Assassin, for the sake of the people, don't let them sit in on the hearing, each does his own work, the officials have the ministry of officials, and the people have the work of the people, they can't be mixed up! ”

Wang Ping'an turned his head and glared at the two of them, and said: "What is the meaning of confusion, this official is called the trial of the case openly, the verdict is transparent, and the people will supervise my Qingzhou officialdom, bringing a gentle breeze to Qingzhou!" ”

Later, all the officials in Gyeongju ran out, and when they heard Wang Ping'an's words, they all grinned, and they were still slowly breezy, what are you doing, are you deliberately repairing us, right? Hurry up with love, you are a stabbing history, how many cases can you try? We are not allowed to do the work of adjudicating the case, and we will be the ones who will be scolded at that time!

When the people below heard this, they were all very excited. It is estimated that regardless of whether this thing can be done or not, but as soon as Wang Ping'an only said this, the passion of the people below was "instigated" by him, and hundreds of people shouted: "Lord Qingtian, Wang Qingtian, Wang Qingtian!" ”

Excitement is excitement, but the common people forget a little. The people oversee the rulers? Even if the overseer is tired, what can he do with the official? Who dares to do that!

But Wang Ping'an can say this, it is a good performance in itself, whether he can make political achievements is one thing, whether he can make people feel that he has made political achievements, that is another thing, this is something that cannot be confused!

Wang Ping'an said loudly: "I, Gyeongju officialdom, open trial, starting with this official!" He beckoned and said, "Come on, move a chair, this assassin is here to try the case." Also, you beat the gong and shout in the streets, so that the people can come and listen to it, and supervise the trial of the case, if the trial of the case is not clear, and there is a mistake in covering up the arbitrary judgment, the villagers can point it out on the spot, and the official will correct it immediately! ”

The servants thought to themselves: "You're really not afraid of making a big deal out of it, you started this today, and in the future, someone else will take it for you, that's the big trouble!" ”

More is better than less, but who dares to be dissatisfied in public, anyway, it is not for them to try the case. The head of the errand officer looked at Che Sitong behind Wang Ping'an, and saw that Che Sitong's face was pale, and he was translucent in black, as ugly as he was.

Because it was so ugly, the leader of the errands didn't dare to look at it anymore, and he waved his hand to the officers to hurry up. An errand had already brought a chair for Wang Ping'an and asked Lord Thorn Shi to sit at the door, while the other dozen or so errand servants, carrying gongs, ran to the street to gather the people.

Wang Ping'an pointed to the inside and said: "Untie him, before the case is decided, he can't be regarded as a prisoner, just let him kneel aside and kneel under the steps." You too! The latter sentence is said to Boss Du.

Li Zheng and Boss Du both knelt down at the bottom of the steps, and behind them were a few errand guards, and further back, more and more people gathered.

After a quarter of an hour, there were thousands of people who came to see the excitement. The people talked a lot, and they didn't understand what kind of madness the new assassin Shi smoking, and the case would be tried if the case was tried, so why should the case be tried publicly?

Some people whispered: "Isn't the new assassin history a famous little doctor of peace in Chang'an?" I heard that he has seen a doctor twice, is it possible that the trial is also very powerful? ”

Some people said: "This is called the three fires of the new official." Look, someone's head will fall to the ground today! ”

"This is going to kill people, this new assassination history is ruthless enough!" and the people said.

There are many people who understand things, or at least think they understand things, and one of them said: "If you don't do it ruthlessly, you have to be ruthless, and if you don't do it, can you collect taxes?" Look at it, today's new assassin has to kill someone, let us all know that he is ruthless, and then there is a tax increase, see which of you dares not pay, if you don't pay, you will cut off your head in public! ”

Many people came out and said, "The official has raised taxes, and we have to pay them, can we run away from you?" ”

In the crowd, Jin Sanquan was also among them, and when he heard that Wang Ping'an was going to try the case publicly, he naturally wanted to listen. But how Wang Ping'an tried the case, he didn't hear it, but he first heard the discussion of the people. He thought to himself: "No, the prince is not that kind of person, he can't be more ruthless than Ji's predecessor, right?" ”

Seeing that the people were almost here, Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, this assassin history will start to try the case now." Plaintiff, you should state first! ”

Li Zheng was a little stupid, not to mention that his forehead was full of sweat at this time, even his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his whole body felt as if he had just been fished out of the water, and he even felt a little prostration. Listening to Wang Ping'an, he didn't even understand who the plaintiff was.

The officer behind him pushed him and said, "Speak, Lord Assassin Shi asked you to state the case, you are the plaintiff!" ”

Li Zheng sighed, but still didn't understand what was going on.

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to say again: "You are the Li Zheng of Hetou Village, the person in charge of supervising Boss Du, tell me what happened!" ”

Only then did Li Zheng understand that he was the plaintiff for a long time, and the meaning of the statement was to say things, and to talk about things, and to say what to say, he still thought that the statement was a personal name!

He told what happened, emphasizing that he was thinking about the safety of Lord Assassin Shi, so he made this misunderstanding, and it was definitely not an intentional frame-up, so please be merciful to Lord Assassin Shi and don't punish yourself.

After Wang Ping'an listened, he asked Boss Du to tell what had happened, and Boss Du told him about his entry into the city today, saying that he forgot to report to Lizheng, not on purpose.

After hearing this, Wang Ping'an stood up and asked, "Fellow villagers and elders, have you all heard the reason for this case clearly?" ”

It's not a complicated case, so you can't hear it clearly. When the people heard that Boss Du was supervised, it was because of what happened almost 30 years ago, everyone felt incredible, and felt that Boss Du had been wronged, and he was still holding on to it.

But to say that Li Zheng is holding chicken feathers as an arrow, this kind of behavior is a bit excessive, but he is also focused on his duties, and there is no fault, if he is punished because of this, it is also unfair to Li Zheng, who will dare to do things for the government in the future.

Some of the people whispered, "According to what they say, who should they kill?" ”

"Officials and officials are mutually exclusive, they should kill the one surnamed Du, right? Li Zheng is the government's own person. Some people speculated.

And some people said: "Not necessarily, only by killing your own people can you show ruthlessness, it is estimated that Lord Assassin Shi wants to kill someone, and he also wants to kill that Lizheng!" ”

The people guessed everything, but they only whispered, and did not answer Wang Ping'an's words loudly.

Wang Ping'an waited for a while, he didn't expect the people to really shout anything. He said: "This case is exactly right, he is responsible and concentrates on errands, and I need such an official in Gyeongju." Come on, take the money from the treasury and reward it to Lizheng. ”

Li Zheng was overjoyed, he still thought that Lord Thorn Shi would punish him, wasn't Lord Thorn Shi an acquaintance with Boss Du, how could he let himself go and repair Boss Du?

The people who were watching were a little disappointed, and sure enough, it was the officials and officials who were intertwined, while some thought: "This assassination history is not ruthless enough, in the end, it is better to use the little people to open the knife and not kill his own people!" ”
