(There's a change later!) ）

At eight o'clock, a team of more than 50 bailiffs dressed in white uniforms, wearing large-brimmed hats, and straddle Mauser pistols at their waists was officially unveiled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

These bailiffs are different from those outside, first of all, the bailiffs are almost all over 1.7 meters tall, and the average height difference between each person is almost negligible.

Although they are also policemen, but in these bailiffs, they give people the taste of soldiers, and their straight bodies, when they stand there, they give people a strong pressure, and people dare not make mistakes.

And the originally chaotic scene, with the arrival of more than fifty bailiffs, instantly quieted down.

These more than 50 bailiffs were not overwhelmed by the big scene in front of them, it seemed that they had a plan, and they quickly looked for their respective positions, and then stood there so directly, in fact, it is more reasonable to describe them as image police.

Immediately afterwards, the plaintiff and the defendant appeared, and the temporary courtroom was very shabby, with only a table in front of the plaintiff and the defendant, covered with a green cloth, and a chair behind the plaintiff and two chairs behind the defendant.

Directly in front of it, there is a temporary stage about one meter high, on which are placed several tables, but the table in the middle is obviously a little different, the table in the middle is more like a podium, and the side facing the crowd is a model of a book, and the cover of the book has a national flag.

The flag means the country, the book means the law, and the combination of the two represents fairness, justice, and openness.

Having said that, no one knows what the final outcome will be, but perhaps the truth will be revealed after this trial.

Underneath the high platform is a double table, behind which are two chairs, one for the clerk and one for the overseer.

According to the law that had been enacted a long time ago, the court needed to send a chief justice, two auxiliary judges, a supervisor, and a clerk, a total of five people.

As for the jury system that represents democracy, this Wang Sirui did not agree to be introduced, which can certainly avoid unjust cases to the greatest extent, but in the same way, for some people with status, or people who are good at disguise, the jury will become their helper.

And this case, because it is the first case of a civil lawsuit since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the defendant is still the imperial government, although the law stipulates the independence of the court, when receiving this kind of case, you don't have to take into account the government's face, but Yuan Shikai didn't dare to really do that.

After all, there is an emperor above, and this case is extraordinary, once the imperial government loses the case, the consequences are unimaginable, at least, the development of the empire will fall into a temporary halt because of this.

Therefore, after receiving this case, Yuan Shikai reported the situation to Wang Sirui as soon as possible, although Wang Sirui was also a little angry, but after calming down, he told Yuan Shikai to do what he should do, and he didn't have to think about the government.

In fact, speaking of this, Wang Sirui's attitude is already obvious, this case should be tried impartially, although it will bring some trouble to the imperial government, but from another level, it is a good opportunity for the imperial government to gain prestige.

Even, the prestige of this method is far more effective than the effect achieved by winning a battle.

The sensitivity of the case is so great and the stakes are so high, so this time, the chief justice will be Yuan Shikai himself. Of course, in fact, the president of the Supreme Court is the largest judge in the entire country, and according to the law, he is also responsible for appearing in court to hear cases.

It's just that due to the problem of his position, Yuan Shikai does not have many opportunities to appear in court to hear cases, and in the past few months, Yuan Shikai has not studied those legal documents in addition to building courts in various places.

Of course, now every time Yuan Shikai sees the people on the side of the Legislative Yuan, he can't wait to kick them one by one, and kick them all back to his hometown to retire.

In just 10 months, less than 11 months, they have tried and passed more than 2,000 laws, both large and small, some civil, some criminal, and even an idle legislator who has put forward a proposal asking the Legislative Yuan to establish a different set of legal systems for officials, because officials are due to their own positions, so once they choose to commit crimes, the impact will often be greater, so knowing the law and breaking the law will increase the crime by one degree.

I heard that the Legislative Yuan had gone to consult the emperor, and as long as the emperor agreed, they would put this matter on the agenda.

Well, in fact, there is no law passed by the Legislative Yuan, and Yuan Shikai, as a justice, must be memorized by heart, and he will be 100% correct without asking, but at least he must know whether this law is civil or criminal, and in which chapter.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai is either busy dealing with court affairs or reciting laws all day long, and he is so busy that his head and feet don't touch the ground, how can the guys who never think of a big deal in the Legislative Yuan have a good look?

Yuan Shikai looked at the people below and put on a serious expression, dressed in a black and rigorous Hanfu, so that Yuan Shikai was not angry and arrogant.

Yuan Shikai picked up the small wooden hammer on the table, which belonged to the same nature as the tangmu in the yamen before, anyway, Wang Sirui asked him to do it, so let's do it? Gently knock on the wooden board below to announce the official opening of the court.

Then, the clerk first read out the court discipline, and the supervisor on the side recorded the whole process, of course, the content of the record does not need to be so detailed, he only needs to record a few points, the justice announces the opening of the trial, when the clerk reads out the court discipline and a series of procedural steps, mainly to supervise whether the trial process is standardized, or jump trial and the like.

The discipline of the court is not long, there are only a few articles, the front is not allowed to make loud noises at will, it is not allowed to make noisy hands, etc., and there is also the fact that both the original defendant and the defendant must respect the court's judgment, and if they are not satisfied, they can appeal to the higher court, which the clerk made special to indicate that if both parties are not satisfied with the judgment, His Majesty the Emperor will personally hear the case.

Because this case is heard by the Supreme Court, if you go up, it can only be tried by the emperor himself.

Then there is the trial process of the court, which needs to be explained again, but it is all simplified, just talking about what steps to go through, so that people can have a number in their hearts.

In less than ten minutes, the clerk finished reading, and with the consent of Justice Yuan Shikai, he sat down. And Yuan Shikai rang the small wooden hammer again and announced the opening of the trial.

The first step of the court is to verify the identity, which is actually very simple, the empire issued an identity certificate, this is issued by the local government, and the government seal is printed on it, which is only used as a certificate.

Li Wenxuan handed over the identity certificate that had been prepared long ago, and a bailiff carried a tray to Yuan Shikai, who read it and sent it to the clerk, who recorded it together. Then, Li Wenxuan's identification was sent to the defendant for inspection.

Subsequently, the defense was a little troublesome, because the defendant was the imperial government, and theoretically, the imperial prime minister should be present at the trial, but how could the imperial prime minister have time to do this? So a secretary of the Imperial Chancellery's Office was sent to attend the case in place of the Imperial Government.

Therefore, the secretary has to issue a lot of proof, first of all, his personal identification, then a certificate of employment issued by the Reich Chancellery, and then a letter of appointment from the Reich Chancellery, authorizing him to take full charge of the case.

Then there are lawyers, which are lawyers trained by the empire itself, which is a new profession, and there are currently less than 100 qualified lawyers in China, most of whom have been filed with the courts.

Therefore, the lawyer needs to show personal identification, a certificate of legal qualification issued by the court, and a letter of appointment issued by the Chancellery.

These certificates are first checked by Justice Yuan Shikai and two auxiliary judges, and after confirming that they are correct, they are handed over to the clerk and supervisor for record, and finally they are taken to the other party to be inspected by the other party, and after completing the process, these certificates will be returned to the parties, and at the same time, the justice declares that the identity certificate is valid, and the case enters the next link.

"On September 15 of the first year, the Supreme Court of the Reich received a complaint from the plaintiff Li Wenxuan, and the plaintiff Li Wenxuan sued the Imperial Government to the Supreme Court on the grounds that the Imperial Government refused to return the Gengzi indemnity collected from the people in 1903 and the first year without proper reasons. The trial began on October 17 of the first year, and the plaintiff, the defendant, the parties and the appointed representatives all appeared in court, and the trial of the case officially began. Yuan Shikai read out the opening speech.

In order to maximize efficiency, the justice's opening speech is also very simple, that is, to briefly explain the reasons for the plaintiff's pleadings, when the court received the application, when to decide to file the case, when to hold the trial, and whether it meets the requirements of the trial.

Listening to Yuan Shikai's speech, Li Wenxuan, who has always been very calm, can't calm down at this time, after all, he has to face the imperial government, although the Supreme Court has accepted the case, but Li Wenxuan is still very bottomless in his heart, and the speech he originally prepared has long been forgotten at this moment.

Under the urging of the clerk, Li Wenxuan finally had to stand up quickly, and his heart was in a hurry, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, anyway, he had already come, let it be fate.
