Chapter 137: Sitting in Court to Judge the Case
Fu Bi still insisted on working despite his injury, which was the thing that Yun Shu admired the most, after all, there were very few officials who did their best in later generations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 This kind of spirit is to be admired, but this kind of behavior Yun Shu did not approve, looking at Fu Bi's pale face with beads of sweat from pain, he sighed: "Why should the appeasement envoy be like this, these official duties can be handled by the officials below, and it will not be good for your injuries." ”
Fu Bi smiled bitterly: "There are four envoys in Caizhou, and now the prison envoy is killed in battle, and the Changping envoy is promoted to go to various places to count the disaster situation and the loss of the granaries in each county, and the transfer envoy is surveying the river. If the virtuous nephew has nothing to do, it is better to temporarily mention the post of prison envoy, anyway, you have the royal gold medal from the official family. ”
Yun Shu looked at Fu Bi in surprise, he didn't expect that he could know about the gold medal without touching the ground with his busy feet, so he had to admire and say with a wry smile: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”
It's not that Yun Shu is an important official, but he and Yang Wei have found several cases of snatching people's property and robbing food in the city, and even more adulterous crimes, murder and adultery and humiliation of women, etc., Yun Shu really couldn't stand it, so he asked Fu Bi why no one cared, who knew that the military officer who mentioned the prison had died in battle, and Fu Bi directly pushed it to himself.
The Xiang army is not good for maintaining law and order, after all, in the eyes of the people, the Xiang army is a thief with an army, and the forbidden army is much better, Yang Wei did not say a word after learning that Yun Shu was sent to move into the yamen of the prison envoy, Yan Song's mention of the prison envoy was filled with civil and military personnel, so Yun Shu's appointment to Yang Wei did not contradict.
The Yamen of the Criminal Prison Department has changed, the magnificent forbidden army, the mighty adjutant and a civil official wearing the eight-grade Qingtian official uniform feel strange no matter how you look at it. Yang Wei led people to beat gongs and drums in the city to post notices, and anyone who was involved in the case could go directly to the yamen of the Criminal Prison Department to file a complaint, and there would be a forbidden army patrol in the city.
Yun Shu felt like a fool sitting in the warm pavilion of the lobby, and the servants holding water and fire sticks on both sides were replaced by the forbidden army with waist knives, which had already scared away the two people who came to report the crime.
There was a commotion outside the door, and Yun Shu immediately glanced at Qin Yi, who was acting as an adjutant on the side, and Qin Yi walked to the door knowingly and said, "Who is making a noise?" If there is a grievance, go to court to complain about the grievance! ”
At the door were two people who were scuffling together, and as soon as they heard Qin Yi's words, they immediately let go of their hands and said: "The villain wants to sue the blacksmith Wang Wu in the east of the city for having an affair with my concubine Wang, as soon as this word came out, the surrounding people were all surprised, and Qin Yi could know from everyone's conversation that this Wang Wu was an honest man."
"The villain is wronged! I, Wang Wu, am an honest man who does his duty, how could he have an affair with a married man? This Li butcher wronged the villain! Please call the shots! ”
Although the atmosphere in the Yan and Song Dynasty is open, it is indeed a big crime to commit adultery, and if it is confirmed, the lightest is also the crime of exile, but it must first "take off the clothes and receive the rod". Often, women who are tortured commit suicide and do not have to be exiled, and men never have a chance to get ahead. The term adulterer means a man and a woman who commit adultery.
There were very few lawyers in the Yan and Song dynasties, and the reason was very simple, and all those who were talented and learned went to participate in the imperial examination, who would go to the despised profession of lawyers? Moreover, officials hated the fact that lawyers pointed fingers in the course of trial cases, so the ancient profession of lawyer in the Yan and Song dynasties almost disappeared.
Yun Shu sat on the Tang Dynasty and looked at the two people standing below and observed carefully, and they all said that Xiang Yousheng was born from Qin Yi's inquiry, and this blacksmith Wang was honest and honest when he stood in the hall, while the Li butcher on the side had a pair of triangular eyes and a big rosacea nose that was not pleasing to the eye, and he was fat like a pig, and he shook his legs from time to time and stood without standing up.
Yan Song didn't say that he was on his knees to be tried, and he didn't even have to kneel down when he met the emperor to travel, not to mention Yun Shu, the temporary prison envoy of the eight products? Yun Shu asked strangely, "Why don't you see another defendant?" ”
"After Wang was whipped by this Li butcher, he was trapped in the firewood room and had not eaten for several days!" Blacksmith Wang Wu ran to Yun Shu and shouted, and the forbidden army on the side immediately hit him on the crook of the leg with a scabbard, and Wang Wu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Li Butcher laughed and said, "The eldest master has seen it!" Doesn't this Wang Wu and the Wang family have grievances? The folks say yes? After saying that, he shouted to the people who looked like this.
Yan Song Taizu stipulated that local officials should not close their doors to avoid the public when trying cases, and the people had the right to watch. If the people are not satisfied with the verdict, they can be retried. Although the latter regulations have become useless, the people cannot stop it.
The onlookers were also in an uproar, but they didn't expect the blacksmith Wang, who is usually kind and honest, to do this kind of thing, and the buzzing sound didn't stop, Yun Shu picked up the startling wood and took a picture.
The official name of the striking wood is "air beating", and there are also called the boundary square and the fu ruler, commonly known as "the striking wood", which is a rectangular piece of hardwood, with horns and edges, taking the meaning of "rules", and has the effect of solemn law, strong official authority, and deterring the person being tried.
According to the different people used, the pattern of the carving on the top, the size of the volume, and the name of the tree are also different. There are only eight pieces in the world, the emperor has a piece called gentian or called Zhenshanhe, the queen has a piece called Fengxia, the civil official has a piece called Jingtang, the prime minister's more special is called Zuo Chaogang, the military general has a piece called Huwei, the monk Lao Dao each has a piece called the precepts and the town altar, there is a half piece in the pharmacy called the pressure prescription, and there is a half piece in the hands of the storyteller called eye-catching. In this way, each of the eight pieces has its own responsibility.
The clear sound spread throughout the yamen, and Yun Shu himself was taken aback, he didn't expect this startling sound to be so crisp and thorough, and it actually made a sound similar to glass.
The stunned hall was silent, and I could only hear the sound of the blacksmith kowtowing, the ground was full of blood, and the people watching it were hairy, this was the rhythm of knocking himself to death!
"Are you two dead? If he is allowed to crash like this, he will not need to be tried, and he will be killed himself! Yun Shu said angrily to the forbidden army below the hall.
"Yo-ho?! It's not so easy to die~ You get up for me! The two forbidden soldiers put up the king of the earth and said.
Yun Shu nodded and said, "Qin Yi, you take someone to bring the other defendant Wang!" The number of people in this case is uneven, and all the defendants will be retried! Folks, the house will disperse regardless of the meal! ”
"Do you need a retrial for such an obvious matter? There is no doubt that this Wang Wu must be a murderer!? Everyone said no! Li Butcher shouted disobediently.
"Is it me who will try the case or you who will try the case?"
"Of course it's you, the eldest master, but you can't shield criminals!"
The forbidden troops on both sides of the lobby shouted in unison: "Bold! ”
They are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and the murderous spirit is naturally indispensable, and the sound of breaking the drink made Li Butcher scare and paralyze to the ground, and the people watching the excitement outside the door are not coaxing, they originally thought that a young man like Yun Shu seemed to have no means but to delay time, but now it seems that this is not the case.
