Chapter 37 The Spirit of the Legal System of the Ming Empire
Two days later.
The newly built Supreme Court courtroom on Ambuna Island was solemn, and His Excellency the Supreme Judge sat in front of the flag of the Ming Empire and the Baath Party...
Your Excellency the Supreme Justice, this is the first time that you have performed your duties.
As for the new residents who moved later, in order to ensure their current good life, they did not dare to do anything illegal at all, because once they broke the law, as long as they reached a certain standard, the whole family was expelled from the Ming Empire, so it has been half a year since the founding of the country, and there has not been a single case so far.
"Take someone to commit it!"
Yang Feng solemnly patted the shocking wood, as the court of the Ming Empire, of course, it must have its own characteristics, and the gavel has become an ancient shocking wood.
"Mighty!"
Amid the elongated shouts of the bailiffs, Fumio Shimura was brought in first.
Deputy Chief of Staff Shimura didn't know how he was tortured in prison these days, basically two bailiffs half-dragged in half-framed, because he couldn't stand on the trial bench at all, and the two bailiffs had to hold him all the time, but fortunately, his face could still be seen, and it didn't prevent him from taking pictures or something.
The prosecutor then read out the indictment.
Fumio Shimura was the former chief of staff of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, and he certainly had a part in the Jiangxi massacre.
Of course, he still has the right to defend, even if it is a military court, but because he has no money to hire a defense lawyer, he has to be assigned one by the Supreme Court of the Ming Empire. ”
Sitting on both sides, the jury composed of all Temasek, Java, Borneo and other Chinese gentry and celebrities did not hesitate to shout "Guilty!" ”
After some deliberation, Yang Feng soon read out the verdict.
"The Wa State is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Wa State are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Wa State conspires against the rebellion, and Shimura Fumio does not want to serve the country loyally and rebel against the thief, but helps the Emperor to abuse and harm the innocent, and should be punished as a crime of treason according to the ** article of the Ming Law, and the judgment is as follows, and Shimura Fumio is sentenced to be beheaded, executed on the same day, and deprived of his status as a subject of the Ming Empire."
Well, the Congress of the Ming Empire has not yet studied a new criminal law, mainly because it is useless here, those congressmen are busy building everywhere, how can they have the time to sit together and study what laws, except for a constitution is essential, other laws are temporarily in accordance with the Ming law, and how to judge it is not all Judge Yang's words.
Shimura-kun didn't say anything, just whined angrily for a while, and then was dragged out, and later Yang Feng learned that he was cursing those prison guards, and as a result, his tongue was cut off by those guys.
The next one is Tachibana Ayabe, who is the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army in 41 years, needless to say, guilty, pulled out and guillotined.
The Ming Empire specially built a new guillotine for them, since it is in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty, then there is no such thing as shooting, but after all, it is too barbaric to cut off the head with a knife, and the guillotine is much more civilized.
Ayabe Tachibana is finished is the original Dingsan.
He was the deputy chief of staff of the Chinese fleet in 41 years, not because of this crime, after all, it was 41 years and the Japanese Navy rarely dealt with bald people, he was executed because of the Temasek massacre, as the commander of the 12th Special Base Area of the Japanese Navy, he did not harm the Temasek Chinese for more than a year.
In fact, the attitude of the Temasek Chinese towards these Japanese generals is one word, kill!
After all, these guys are all from the Seventh Front Army, and they have bullied the Chinese over the years, and for the jurors invited by Yang Feng from Temasek, the massacre is not very sharp for them, these guys are all big landlords of the capitalists, and the purge of the Japanese army is generally not on their heads. These people grit their teeth and hate banana tickets, how many people have been ruined by this thing, and now almost all capitalists still have a bunch of banana tickets in their hands that can only burn the fire, so as long as the prisoners are pulled out, those jurors from Temasek, they are all guilty!
Even justice justices of the peace like Lu You's grandson, later Shaw's nemesis, Lu Yuntao, the owner of Temasek Cathay Cinemas, waved his fists and shouted excitedly: "Hang him!" ”
Well, for his request, Yang Feng decided to fulfill it, and Lieutenant General Yuan Dingsan was finally sentenced to be hanged.
Then there is the commander of the defense of Zhaonan, Sakata Shinichi, who was the main executor of the Temasek massacre, and Sakata's hands are naturally stained with Chinese blood, and the hanging will certainly no longer satisfy the wishes of the Temasek people.
"Guillotine! Guillotine! ”
Several of Temasek's key jurors, including Tan Chun Lok of Melaka and Tan Hsiao Sik of Kuala Lumpur, shouted either in Mandarin or in English.
Yang Feng didn't even bother to leave the original interrogation procedure, and directly asked his subordinates to draft the verdict as quickly as possible, and then signed his name with a brush, and then waved his hand, and the bailiff dragged Sakata, whose leg was broken, out and waited in line to go to the guillotine.
Just like this one after another, until it was close to noon, the finale Itagaki-kun finally came on the stage.
A group of jurors immediately became excited, a few who were too excited, still looking for something to hit him, and Itagaki-kun, who was unsteady on his feet, was held up by two bailiffs, looking at the ground with dead eyes and empty eyes.
Yang Feng patted the startled wood and signaled to be quiet.
The jurors quieted down, and then the prosecutor began to read out the indictment against Itagaki, and the indictment of Itagaki was long, from a series of conspiracy activities in the Northeast before the war, to the mastermind of the 918 Incident, the puppet Manchukuo, the mastermind of the Rehe Incident, the attempt to soak up the puppet North China State, and the instigation of the Neimeng rebellion, until he led the Fifth Division to invade Shanxi, invaded Shandong, served as the Minister of War to fully command the invasion of China, served as the commander of the Korean Army to suppress the Korean people, and then served as the commander of the Seventh Front Army against the Allied forces, In short, it took the prosecutor half an hour to read his indictment.
However, he was prosecuted in the Ming Empire for the crime of rebellion, and other charges have nothing to do with the Ming Empire, whether he invaded China or served as the commander of the North Korean Army, these are the scope of rebellion, after all, North Korea is also a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and it is still within the scope of the Ming Empire, of course, his rebellion is different from others, he is the head of the rebel party, and he has served as the Minister of War, which is the supreme commander of the rebel army, what is this not considered a rebel?
Since it is a rebel, it must be judged according to the crime of rebelling.
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it should be punished as a great rebellion, Ling Chi will be executed, and the nine clans will be destroyed!"
The judge said while flipping through the Da Ming Law.
The jurors immediately became excited.
"Ling Chi is too much, the Yijiu clan is also a little ruthless, it's the twentieth century now, we should be more merciful." Yang Feng said.
"If you reduce the ranks, the lowest will be split, and the three clans will be destroyed." The judge said.
"We are a civilized society, I think the guillotine is fine, and as for the Yi three tribes, this should also be avoided." Yang Feng said.
"Your Excellency, what is the law? Since the law of the Ming Dynasty is clearly stipulated, it is an iron law, no matter who must abide by it, you as a judge must be sentenced according to the law, otherwise where is the majesty of the law, where is the sacredness of the law? Even if the law is no longer suitable for the times, but before it is amended, it is still sacrosanct, if you think it is too cruel, in fact I think it is too cruel, but what we need to do is to push the Congress to change the law, not just ignore the law with our own mercy, this is the real rule of law, if you are a judge, because of personal feelings to ignore the law, then we have the right to protest! ”
The prosecution's lawyer said righteously.
"Huh?! I don't mean anything else about this, I just think that in the twentieth century, there was still some kind of car splitting, and it was too much. Yang Feng said.
"Even if it is excessive, then before Congress changes this law, you must also judge according to this law, otherwise you yourself are breaking the law, even if Congress amends this law tomorrow, you must also judge according to this law today, this is the spirit of the legal system!"
The lawyer continued to play a duet with him.
"Well, jurors, what do you think?" Yang Feng looked at the jurors with an embarrassed expression.
Exercise! Those jurors are all treacherous and cunning at a glance, and they understand that this guy has to divide the five horses of Itagaki today, but he is just pretending to gag people's mouths, if the outside world criticizes him for being barbaric and cruel, then he will explain it by acting in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty, and also show respect for the law, after all, the Ming Empire has not shown up for more than 300 years, and it is normal for the law to not keep up with the times.
As for the future, of course, it will be revised, of course, the revised law Itagaki-kun will not be able to enjoy it, and he is destined to be divided into five horses today.
Points, absolute scores!
With Itagaki Jun's identity, not to mention the five horses splitting the corpse, even 3,600 swords Ling Chi is qualified, but Ling Chi...
These jurors immediately understood why it was not Ling Chi, this was a real craft work, and no one would have played it for a long time.
As for the three tribes, that's just talking, Itagaki is here alone, where can he go to the three tribes of his family?
They didn't know that Yang Feng was also preparing to use a stealth bomber to carry it out.
"Agreed! Car cracks! ”
Huang Zongxiao was the first to stand up and waved his arms and shouted.
"Agreed!" Immediately afterwards, Lin Wenchang raised his hand and shouted.
"The car cracks!"
"The car cracks!"
