Chapter 90: I'm Afraid of the Rogue Being Educated (Part II)
In this world, everyone may be afraid of hooligans, because hooligans are afraid of many people. But these people are not necessarily the most terrible, because there is a famous saying, that is, not afraid of hooligans fighting, afraid of hooligans being educated. The destructive power of a hooligan who can fight since ancient times may be very small, but a literate hooligan can be extremely destructive. Even Shi Bufan once had a saying in the university that there were several grades for students in the university, virtue is the top grade, virtue is defective, no virtue is waste, and no virtue is dangerous. Therefore, the most terrible thing is not the person who is not virtuous and talented, but the person who is not virtuous and talented, and that is the most terrible.
So once the bad guys have culture, the destructive power is even greater. Shi Bufan thinks that he is a literate person, so he is not nervous about this kind of Chu Suiliang's complaint. Because he knows that Chu Suiliang is a rice bucket in law, maybe he is qualified as a writer, as a calligrapher, or even as a politician. However, in terms of jurisprudence, it is impossible to be Shi Bufan's opponent, and it is easy for Shi Bufan to find his loopholes.
"Hehe, there are too many loopholes in Datang's laws, and there are a lot of them if you look for them. If those litigants in later generations came to this era, it would be too happy. Shi Bufan thought.
Shi Bufan knew that there were too many loopholes in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and Shi Bufan, who had a master's degree in law and had passed the judicial examination, was able to find loopholes everywhere to defend himself. He even taught several well-known litigators in the legal profession, and Shi Bufan did not communicate with those "litigators" in foreign countries, so he was still good at playing with the law. Especially the law of the Tang Dynasty, there are a lot of loopholes, and it is very easy for him to catch it. Even, what he uses is not necessarily law, and other disciplines can also be used, and he is not afraid of finding an excuse.
"Master Chu Suiliang, all convictions, especially the crimes of theft, and even the crimes of self-theft, are judged on the value of the stolen goods. You say that I stole the knowledge of the imperial court, so how much is this knowledge worth? According to the laws of my Datang Dynasty, the guards steal more than 30 silks, hanging! Since you asked the emperor to hang me, do you think that the knowledge I stole is worth thirty silks? Shi Bufan asked.
Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, it's not just thirty silks, knowledge is a priceless treasure, not just thirty silks?" ”
"Then you say, what is the value of the knowledge I have stolen? Please name a number, otherwise how can I be convicted? Shi Bufan asked.
Chu Suiliang's face was as red as a pig's liver, but Dai Guan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple next to him, showed a faint smile, this time Chu Suiliang was really going to be planted. Because Shi Bufan's words are pits, huge pits, huge pits. If Chu Suiliang dares to say a number, then Chu Suiliang's reputation will be infamous in his life, and he will even become a laughing stock in history books in the future.
Shi Bufan deliberately asked Chu Suiliang to say how much the knowledge he stole was worth, so did Chu Suiliang dare to say it? If Chu Suiliang dares to say that this knowledge is "worth" a certain number of wealth, then Chu Suiliang is really finished. In ancient times, knowledge was recognized as a priceless treasure, and even in later generations, knowledge was mostly respected, believing that knowledge was a priceless treasure that could not be measured in terms of money.
This is true in later generations, so isn't it even more so in ancient times? Chu Suiliang dared to say that knowledge is a priceless treasure, but he never dared to say a specific number. Once Chu Suiliang said a specific number, then he was completely finished. No matter whether the number Chu Suiliang said was big or small, even if Chu Suiliang said a number that was rich and rivaled the country, it would be over. Once he said a number, it meant that the "knowledge" in Chu Sui's conscience was valuable, which would cause his reputation to be completely stinky.
Knowledge is priceless, but now Shi Bufan has bound his "crime" to the price of knowledge, so if Chu Suiliang dares to say a number, then Chu Suiliang's life is completely over. The intellectuals who read the books in the world will not let him go, and even his reputation will be extremely ugly, because in his eyes knowledge is valuable.
Chu Suiliang was speechless, but Shi Bufan continued to persecute him, saying: "Master Chu Suiliang, don't you want to accuse me of self-theft, so you want to hang me?" Excuse me, how much wealth worth of knowledge have I stolen? If you don't name a value, then how can you convict me? If there is no value for my stolen goods, why do you condemn me? How can this be true, you don't even know the value of the knowledge I stole from you, so why do you want to ask the emperor to hang me? ”
"If you want to hang me with just two lips like this, then you are disregarding human life! I Datang kills people, and I must kill people according to the law, but you don't even know the value of the knowledge I stole from, so you want to hang me in such a verdict, it's really unreasonable. If you can't tell me how much knowledge is worth, then how can you ask to kill me? Do you want the emperor to follow you to take people's lives? According to the laws of my Datang Dynasty, officials are guarding and stealing more than 30 silks, hanging! Do you mean, is this knowledge worth thirty silks? ”
Chu Suiliang immediately denied it, saying: "Knowledge is priceless, how can it be worth only thirty silks? ”
"Then you say, what is the value of the knowledge I stolen? So you have to ask the emperor to kill me! Shi Bufan returned to that question again.
Of course, Chu Suiliang knew that this question was unsolvable, and if he dared to answer this question, he would definitely die, and even affect his family.
"Your Majesty, Shi Bufan, this person passed on the knowledge collected by the court without the permission of the imperial court, so that the people could learn it, isn't this a violation of the imperial court's ban? These are all things of the imperial court, and Shi Bufan imparts knowledge to outsiders without permission, isn't this disrespectful to the imperial court? Therefore, they should all be severely punished! Chu Suiliang changed his reasons and directly said that Shi Bufan had leaked the secrets of the imperial court.
Shi Bufan asked again: "Haha, Chu Suiliang, you said that I leaked the knowledge of the imperial court and passed it on to outsiders without permission?" So, in your eyes, is knowledge a private asset? Knowledge is private, and others need to learn with their consent? Well, I ask you, who in this world has the ownership of knowledge? To whom does the knowledge of this world belong? Could it be that it belongs to you, Master Chu Suiliang? ”
When Chu Suiliang heard this, he scolded in his heart for being extraordinary and cunning, and the big hat was buttoned off one after another. Just now he was forced to say the value of knowledge, but now he directly asks who does knowledge belong to? Can it answer such a big question? If he dared to answer that knowledge belonged to him, then countless people present would have killed him on the spot.
Chu Suiliang didn't dare to admit that knowledge belonged to him, and no one dared to admit that the ownership of knowledge belonged to him. Chu Suiliang naturally didn't dare to admit it, so it was impossible for him to answer.
Shi Bufan then came to Kong Yingda and said: "Master Kong, you are a descendant of the Confucian sage, and the Confucian sage is the master of the eternal world, so may I ask if the knowledge of the world belongs to the private property of the Confucian sage?" ”
Kong Yingda hurriedly refused: "No, no, no, even the ancestors dare not say that knowledge belongs to him!" In this world, there is knowledge first, and then there are ancestors, so where do ancestors dare to be the masters of knowledge? ”
Kong Yingda is not stupid, even Confucius does not dare to admit that the "knowledge" in this world belongs to him! Although Confucius is a master of all ages, he absolutely dares to say that this knowledge belongs to his own wealth, otherwise he will die. Knowledge in this world cannot belong to a certain person or an organization, and if anyone dares to say so, then the literati of the whole world will beat it to death.
So Shi Bufan secretly changed the concept again, since Chu Suiliang said that he stole the knowledge of the imperial court, at that time, Bufan simply changed the concept and directly took the bottom of the kettle to make a fuss about the ownership of knowledge. If you deny the ownership of knowledge, then your so-called theft will not be a problem.
Shi Bufan came to Fang Xuanling and took the initiative to ask: "Fang Xiang, may I ask if the imperial court is the master of this knowledge, so I will be punished for stealing the knowledge of the imperial court?" I taught it without authorization, which was to give the wealth of the court to outsiders, so Master Chu Suiliang sued me for self-theft? So, am I stealing knowledge that belongs to the imperial court? Is it true that the knowledge of the world belongs to the imperial court, and it cannot be learned without the permission of the imperial court? ”
Fang Xuanling also scolded Shi Bufan in his heart for being cunning, this is completely sophistry! However, Shi Bufan's words are really irrefutable, if Fang Xuanling dares to admit that knowledge belongs to the imperial court, then he will also be unlucky.
Chu Suiliang, a rice bucket, is not good at law, so he messes around in front of Shi Bufan, a legal expert. Chu Suiliang is playing law in front of Shi Bufan, isn't this an axe in the class? This guy wants to sue without even learning legal theory, and it's definitely strong. The result of being weeded is not the result of being weed.
"Knowledge is not the private property of the imperial court, knowledge is something shared by all the people in the world, how can it be owned by the imperial court alone? But these words and inks that record knowledge belong to the imperial court! Fang Xuanling said.
Shi Bufan directly said loudly: "Did you hear it? As Fang Xiang said, knowledge is shared by all the people in the world, not by one person or the court. Since knowledge is shared by all people in the world, isn't it not okay for me to transcribe it and send it to all the people of the world to study? Since all the people of the world are masters of knowledge, why should they learn knowledge? Do you need the approval of the imperial court to learn knowledge? If so, where does the knowledge of all of you come from? Did you get the approval of the imperial court? ”
Shi Bufan turned to Chu Suiliang and asked, "Master Chu Suiliang, how do you explain?" Knowledge is shared by all the people in the world, and not by a certain person or a certain group or even by the imperial court, so why not pass on the knowledge? All the people in the world learn knowledge, and they don't need to agree with you, Master Chu Suiliang, so my charge of stealing knowledge is naturally not established. And what you say I steal books is even more ridiculous. The books in Hongbunkan and the books of the four schools are all intact, we just went in with pen and ink to transcribe them, and there was no damage or theft of the books inside. So I didn't steal books, paper, pen and ink, so what did I have to be kind? ”
"So, either you tell me the value of my stealing knowledge, or tell me who the knowledge in the world belongs to, so that I can be convicted!"
Chu Suiliang's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he, an old oilman, naturally knew that Shi Bufan's two choices were enough answers to make him stink for 10,000 years. No matter which one Chu Suiliang chooses, Chu Suiliang will be stinking for 10,000 years in his life. In order to compete with Shi Bufan, Shi Bufan may not die at that time, but Chu Suiliang himself will inevitably be stinking for 10,000 years. Therefore, Chu Suiliang is not a fool, he naturally knows the truth that you can't lose a big one because of a small one. Because no matter how much he says about the value of knowledge, or who it belongs to, then he is going to die. He wasn't stupid, so he didn't dare answer.
Shi Bufan didn't dare to answer when he saw Chu Suiliang, so he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, since the matter of Chu Suiliang's complaint against me is not established, then what is my crime?" Since Bachelor Chu Suiliang can't say what the value of the knowledge I stole is, it naturally can't be convicted according to the crime of stealing. The crime of theft must have the value of the stolen goods, otherwise it cannot be convicted without a specific value. And this Chu Suiliang bachelor can't explain who all this thing of knowledge is, and knowledge belongs to all the people in the world, so I pass on the knowledge to all the people in the world, so why not? So I think I'm innocent, this Chu Suiliang is purely an unlearned person. He sued Wei Chen like this, and even wanted to hang me to death, which is simply a disregard for human life. Please ask the emperor to treat Chu Suiliang with a false accusation of reversing the crime, so as to correct the law! ”
Shi Bufan bit back at this time, intending to resist according to the crime of false accusation. False accusation refers to the false accusation of the other party, and if the false accusation is discovered, the person who made the false accusation will also bear the punishment for the crime he falsely accused. This is a remnant of homomorphic revenge in criminal law. As for Shi Bufan, knowing that he had sued Chu Suiliang for false accusation this time, it would be a tear with Chu Suiliang, and it would be impossible for him to get along with Chu Suiliang in the future.
"What? You're going to accuse me of false accusations? Chu Suiliang said angrily.
Shi Bufan's unkind answer; "Master Chu Suiliang, since you have accused me of self-theft, but you can't produce any evidence, aren't you falsely accusing and sitting back? What evidence do you have that I can steal from me, and if you can show the value of the knowledge that I stole or who owns it, then you are not falsely accusing yourself. Otherwise, you are guilty of this false accusation! ”
"I-" Chu Suiliang was angry for a while.
Chu Suiliang finally knew the true nature of Shi Bufan's "lawsuit", Shi Bufan is an out-and-out lawyer, since he has exonerated himself, he naturally has to counterattack in turn, but instead use the theory of false accusations in the Tang Dynasty law, and then let Chu Suiliang take the blame. Because Shi Bufan knew that it was impossible for him to come up with evidence. Because if you want to produce evidence, you must either say the value of the knowledge, or who owns the knowledge! However, these two issues must not be said. Chu Suiliang would rather die than answer these two questions, once he answered, it would not be solved by death, but it would be left for 10,000 years.
With such a huge hat, Chu Suiliang didn't dare to put it on. Moreover, Chu Suiliang is not proficient in legal theory, so he naturally cannot effectively refute it. In those years, the law often only attached importance to the study of punishment regulations, and only imposed criminal penalties on some behaviors, but there was little research on the essence of jurisprudence, legal thinking, and legislative thinking.
The study of the legal system of the ancient people was not perfect, and they knew it completely but did not know the reason. So in front of Shi Bufan's qualified LL.M., it was simply a big loss. Shi Bufan can change the concept casually, and can casually use the profound legal essence that these ancient officials did not understand, and only have some vague understanding of the essence of the law, but it is completely unsystematic, and the law of the Tang Dynasty can be easily played with by Shi Bufan.
"Your Majesty, please treat Chu Suiliang's false accusation of sitting back, so that we can correct the law of my Tang Dynasty!" Shi Bufan said.
