Chapter 755: The Law of Seris

The trial turned back and that's when it really began.

Song Zijie took out a feather fan, waved it leisurely, like a wave of skyrocketing, and hit Li Xu and Li Xiangyu head-on.

"This is the confession of the prefect of Jiangning, and there is also a side certificate of Li Xu's servant who contacted the intermediary, confirming that this Su embroidery business was initiated by Li Xu."

A stack of files was placed in court, and in order to show justice, the files were all opened for Li Xiangyu's side to confirm.

"This is the confession of the Jiangnan Procuratorate Office, with a letter written by Li Xu, confirming that it was Li Xu who informed the Procuratorate and bribed the prosecutor to cover up the case."

Another stack of files was laid out, the transcript was complete, and the signatures were clear.

"This is the confession of the perpetrator of the murder and the wounding, and it is confirmed that Li Xu's servants instructed them to act."

One more stack......

"This is the confession of Li Xu's servant, confirming that it was Li Xu who said that those Diao people would return their lives if they didn't pay back the money, and they were all instigated by Li Xu."

Another stack of ......

"This is the record of the people involved, identifying the person who committed the murder and plundered the wealth, and claimed that it was Li Xu's instructions."

Also a stack of ......

"This is a confirmation letter from Jiangnan Bank, although the bank did not give a deposit slip, but it was confirmed that Li Xu's servants were transferring the silver taels in this case, isn't this ironclad evidence that Li Xu is presiding over this Suzhou embroidery business!?"

The stack of files added was thin, but like lead and iron, which suppressed all the previous evidence, making this case almost an iron case. In the auditorium, even the blind man sighed. Let's not talk about whether this evidence is true or not, what evidence the government wants to get, that is, the question of how many trips a piece of paper has, such as restoring Skynet, Li Xu is still a character, and he is all trapped to death, not to mention ordinary people.

Sir Lawrence scratched the wig on his head in astonishment as a thick stack of files pressed down on the courtroom, and without a translator explaining it to him, he knew that it was the prosecution's evidence, and that it was all operated by a very strict procedure, at least in form.

Thinking of the procedures of the British Lord's Court, what evidence, what process, it is all "in the name of God", everyone's conscience is just a guarantee. After all, in Britain, paper is still very expensive, and often a case can be cleared with a few thin documents or a roll of sheepskin. This made Sir Lawrence sweat on his head, and the wig on his head was extremely difficult

"The law department has really put a lot of effort into it, and with Song Tiezui checking and filling in the gaps, this case will be difficult to overturn."

Zhu Yigui said in his heart that this is the benefit of authority.

A large stack of dossiers piled up, Song Zijie shook his fan, looked at Li Xiangyu leisurely, and said in his heart that the little woman also wants to fight with the government in this legal matter? It's so naïve! The government is the government, what evidence can you have? Even if you don't rely on "operation", the entire government will turn around, just like reading a microscope, not to mention eggs, you can find bones on gemstones!

Here, Jinling Qunchai took down the file and read it carefully, and Hang Shijun was shocked to take it: "This court can wait for Ronger to carefully review the file, and it is limited to one hour, if there is no objection, you can't look through these evidences later......"

This is another bullying through the trial process, throughout the ages, the evidence files of the government are not for the people, but for the boss and the court. Although the links are perfect, and the paperwork process is rigorous, they are all superficial articles.

After the establishment of the Anglo-Chinese People's Republic of China, the matter of legal judgment changed due to the great prosperity of commercial court judgments. How does a business court work? The commercial court is only a adjudication body, and the interests disputed by the prosecution and defense have nothing to do with the commercial court. In order to ensure fairness, the commercial court must allow both parties to cross-examine each other and reproach each other. In order to reduce the cost of adjudication, the commercial court does not even involve endorsement and evidence collection, hence the rise of the profession of lawyer. …,

With the popularity of the commercial court case-handling atmosphere, the civil and criminal cases in the country are also slightly tilted towards the people, and the legal department can let the people see the evidence files, and even question, but it must be in the public court, and the time is also very short, which is almost a form of pro-people. For people who do not understand the criminal law, it is simply impossible to see any mistakes in the file in a short period of time, and it is naturally difficult to question the adjudication of the judicial department.

Hang Shijun said this clearly, if you can't find anything wrong in one hour, then I'm sorry, you can't overturn this evidence in the future, even if it's fake.

Li Xiangyu shouted: "This is not fair! ”

Song Zijie said with a smile: "The law of trying the case is like this, it is really unfair, you can go to the calligraphy department and the emperor to ask for a change in the law, but if the law does not go back, even if the law is changed, it will not change the case." ”

Li Xiangyu snorted, but at this time, her sisters had a harvest.

"According to the voucher in the study of the Procuratorate, it is signed for the eleventh year of the Holy Dao, and this document was issued in the tenth year of the Holy Dao, which is fake!"

"The confession of the servant is inconsistent, since he has contacted Jiangning Mansion, why did he say that when he instigated the ruffian to commit murder, he was afraid that Jiangning Mansion would know about it, so he gave him two more silver seals?"

"Jiangnan Bank doesn't give the deposit slip, it can't prove who is dispatching the silver two! Will the official send his subordinates in the yamen to do this? Won't you coerce people to do it? ”

However, in two or three moments, Qunchai picked out some faults, which made Song Zijie's forehead sweat, and the head of the hall, Hang Shijun's brows, also frowned, the time was too busy, most of these evidences were made up, but they were not fakes. But because of this supplement, a loophole is revealed, and the authenticity is greatly reduced.

"Fake documents, fake testimony, the little girl wants to sue your legal department for bending the law!"

Li Xiangyu seized the opportunity and raised her arms and shouted.

"This is another case, when this case is completed, how do you sue you......"

Under the cold gaze of a group of law officials, Song Zijie forced himself to cheer up and swept away Li Xiangyu's blow. Looking at the back of Qunchai, there are more than a dozen people helping to review the file, and I can't help but feel shocked. Those people should be the scribes transferred by Concubine Xian Niangniang to help Li Xiangyu, there is Concubine Xian's library, there are veterans who are proficient in official documents and criminal laws, and the evidence that the law department hastily completes is really full of loopholes.

As for Li Xiangyu's accusation of perverting the law, Song Zijie didn't care about it at all, even if there was another case, it would be good to blame the law clerk for "negligence in work", it would not be a big deal. ”

Perverting the law has never been a major crime in Huaxia, and the original law has to be perverted at any time by the will of the king. Only when the law is the real law of the land, after the public law, is it a serious crime. For example, perjury, in a society where the law is not independent, is not a big crime. In a public law society, perjury is a felony of perjury.

The essence of the Chinese law is still the law of form, and the core is not the upper and the lower. With kings, kings, ministers, fathers, fathers, sons, and sons, it is impossible for the law to be independent. In a Confucian society, the law cannot be independent, otherwise how can it correspond to the rule of man? The law is to ensure that the form is just, that there is a form, and that everyone is restricted. The rule of man pursues substantive justice, but substantive justice is like a free testimony, and everyone has different views.

As long as the law is not independent, the law has no dignity or offense, so crimes such as perjury and disregard for the legal order are either regarded as flaws or innocence in the Confucian society, and even necessary means to pursue "substantive justice". ”

Of course, Li Xiangyu was not so advanced in consciousness, and she just took this opportunity to seize the weight, and after her refutation, several pieces of evidence were ineffective.

Song Zijie gritted his teeth and said: "But your grandfather instigated the ruffians to wander and hurt people and take property, how can it not be overturned!" ”

This is the heaviest crime Li Xu has carried After all, there is a dead person, and any other bribery, or even presiding over this business to oppress the people is not a felony, and he won. …,

Someone came over with his ears, Li Xiangyu nodded while listening, Hang Shijun and the others trembled violently in their hearts, and secretly said This should be a military advisor sent by Concubine Xian, what can I do?

Song Zijie was noticed by the officials of the legal department again, his forehead was already covered with fine sweat, and he said in his heart, old man, your hands and feet are too unclean, if you want me to find fault with you, you will all have to fall, I hope that the military advisor of the virtuous concubine and the little girl will not be able to see things in detail.

Li Xiangyu knew this and began to fight back: "I want to see the file of the murder case." ”

This request could not be shirked, so stacks of files were laid out. Documents are presented in the case report, the transcripts of all parties, and the corpses are all available.

Lawrence was stunned in the auditorium, what a meticulous paperwork! What a perfect legal process! In his conjecture, the Syris's decision was made by both sides, and the judge decided the case on the basis of a grand and all-encompassing code, based on his conscience.

Unexpectedly, the Seris people actually relied on a complete set of clerical processes to enforce the law, just one homicide, including the report of the crime, the report of the police officer performing official duties, the on-site inspection report, the autopsy report, the witness interrogation record, a series of documents on the prisoner identification and arrest process, and the report of the interrogation of the murderer. Moreover, it will be strictly filed and kept for reference at any time to ensure that the case is re-examined when there is a problem.

Lawrence, of course, did not know that although China had not established an independent legal power, its legal affairs had been followed for thousands of years, and in terms of form, it had reached a very mature level. This is also the accumulation of successive dynasties in the Confucian society in order to ensure formal rule.

What does it do? First of all, in order to meet the needs of social control, a certain degree of social justice must be maintained, so that society can be stable. With thousands of years of unification and inheritance, the formal method highlighted by this demand is mature enough, which is difficult for Europa to achieve at present.

Secondly, this form of law is also in response to the needs of man's rule. The rule of man is not without a system, but rather emphasizes formal perfection. When the rule of man is based on a certain point, the Fa must provide a corresponding form of support on the way. In other words, as the saying goes, when you are not serious, it is, and when you are serious, it is to restore Skynet.

From the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the "Three Chapters of the Law" or the "Spring and Autumn Prison Break", and then to the "Song Criminal System", "Da Ming Law", and "Ming Da Huo", these are all superficial Chinese laws. In addition to these canonical laws, there are also many temporary and customary decrees. Far from being summed up by simple Roman law, the history of Chinese law is converging in all directions, and is connected by a bureaucratic administrative system. ”

Sir Lawrence felt that, so when the wig came off, he felt nothing. In his eyes, the trial was a beautiful and meticulous stage for the Serisians, and he didn't care about the outcome, he just wanted to make the process as long as possible, to show as many details as possible that he didn't know.

Sure enough, under the guidance of experts, Li Xiangyu questioned the flawed corpse, the police report, and the murder's interrogation record.

Song Zijie said: "This should have nothing to do with your grandfather's crime......"

Li Xiangyu said: "Even the murderer may not be the real murderer, can what he said be used to convict my grandfather?" ”

There was a buzz in the court, obviously supporting Li Xiangyu.

Seeing that Li Xiangyu was about to refute the crime of murder, Song Zijie was experienced, and said in a deep voice: "The murderer has pleaded guilty, and the case has been concluded!" This testimony is true! ”…,

This is a way to overturn substantive justice with formal justice, interrupting Li Xiangyu's way to use this certificate to provide Li Xu to absolve his responsibility, Li Xiangyu gritted his fine silver teeth, tears rolled in his eyes, and said again: "It's unfair!" ”

Then Song Zijie finally showed his strength, but he asked Li Xiangyu about the legitimacy of the "support group", quoted scriptures, and accused Li Xiangyu of engaging in crowd tactics and not conforming to the trial process of the legal department. Under his push, the legal department ousted the military advisers who had advised Jinling Qunchai from the lawyer's seat. Li Xiangyu's side suddenly lost strong reinforcements and fell to the point of being bullied by Ren Song Zijie. ”

"It's not fair!"

The spectators, led by the blind man, and even the crowd outside shouted, but it was only one sound, and there was no confusion. They also know that, even if it is unfair, that is the case with the existing French. If they want to make trouble, they will break the law. They can only shout their hearts. Even Cao Zhan just clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: Come on, cousin!

Li Xiangyu and the sisters looked at each other, and in this shout, the originally depressed heart also cheered up. Shen nodded heavily, unwilling to admit defeat.

In Jinshan Weixing Palace, Zhu Yu sat beside Li Shi carelessly, slapped Li Shi's shoulder, and his voice was still flattering: "Husband, really don't you want to ask about this case?" ”

Li Xian smiled: "Why ask?" Do you really care about the outcome of this case? ”

Zhu Yuyou pouted: "I care!" If the students lose, and I do so much, will it all be in vain? ”

Li Shi shook his head: "How can it be in vain?" In this case, you will see how strong the power of the government and the power of the law is, and how strong the other side is...... Even if it is a flag man, even if it is Li Xu, everyone will replace themselves with each other, so as to examine the national law. The legal department will also look at themselves in this way, and they will not lose sight of how easy their peers are in the court. ”

Zhu Yuyou blinked his eyes for a while, and sighed: "Husband Jun is playing the trick of beating rabbits again, no wonder you are so detached." Kefujun is not afraid, some people misread this case and think that you are protecting the flag man and the powerful? ”

Li Xian laughed and said: "The lady still knows me, but the lady doesn't know, no matter whether this case is won or lost, I and Li Xu still have old accounts to settle." ”
