Chapter 169: Trial (II)
"Defendant Zhang Dongfang, I just want to ask you, do you think it is family law or national law?" The prosecutor asked.
The prosecutor was very ruthless, and directly asked Zhang Dongfang whether he was a country law or a family law. This is completely forcing Zhang Dongfang to make a statement, if he admits the law of the country, it must be implemented in accordance with the law of the country. But if it is said that the family law is great, it is also unreasonable. Since ancient times, the national law has been important, and no one has ever said that the family law is great. Of course, when it is actually implemented, it is more about enforcing family law, and national law is rarely encountered by ordinary people. In this way, people have too little contact with the law of the country, but they are not familiar with the law of the country.
"The law of the country is great?" Zhang Dongfang replied helplessly.
"Well, I just want to ask you, which article of the law of the land authorizes you to take the life of someone else? According to the bill of our Taiwan Special Administrative Region, that is, only people are robbing. Rape, murder, arson, and other extremely dangerous cases can be shot to death by anyone. If there is no great danger, or if the offender has stopped committing the crime, then no one can directly deprive the other of his life. And only after the trial, the criminal is deprived of his life by a special executioner. But I just want to ask you, which article of the law of the land authorizes you to take the life of another person? The prosecutor asked.
Zhang Dongfang also had nothing to say, because of course he knew that it was not legal to do so. But he was also arrogant in the past, after all, he was the patriarch of a family, and it was not completely impossible to implement this kind of family law and cause people to die. In many cases, the ancient government will not take care of it, after all, the ancient officials are also the beneficiaries of this clan structure, so they naturally don't want to care about these things. This is what makes this patriarchal system immortal.
But Zhang Dongfang still solves the problem according to the past thinking, so he thinks that it is not a big deal to kill people, after all, there are many such things. However, the current government and the judicial system of the feudal era in the past are not at all routine. So he was quickly arrested.
"It is already very obvious that Zhang Dongfang is guilty of intentional homicide, he illegally deprived others of their lives, and he claimed to be enforcing family law. However, family law itself is illegal, so the grounds for family law cannot be established. So Zhang Dong's intentional homicide was established! Wang Xiande said first.
"Next, the trial of the charge of embezzlement."
And this is what everyone is most concerned about, because this land encroachment is the key to the life and death of the landlord. And it's about whether those families want to be dispersed. And this is also a case related to whether the clan is going to be dismembered. After all, if the clan can't just divide the land and then take it back, then I'm afraid the clan will break up. They thought that they could divide the land and then reclaim it again at any time with the help of clan ties, but they only used this as a reasonable way to avoid taxes. But now that they are playing with fire, those family members actually got the land and didn't want to return it to the clan, which made it unacceptable for them. Therefore, this trial represents whether the family power will be dismembered in the future.
"Do you have any explanation for the crime of embezzlement?" The prosecutor asked.
And Zhang Dongfang immediately said: "These lands were originally mine, and I have just taken them back now." What's wrong with this? ”
And this made many of the patriarchs of those big families also nodded, after all, they originally thought that these lands were their own, and they were just temporarily distributed to other family members, so they naturally thought that they should be able to take back these lands at any time. They don't think that if they are registered in someone else's hands, it is someone else's, after all, those people are also members of their own family, so they should accept the distribution of the family patriarch in a unified manner, so that it is reasonable in their hearts. In this family standard, every qiē is to take the family as the core. And individuals cannot have personal wealth. And the family should also take the main vein as the core, and every qiē wealth is the main vein. No one else has the right to wealth. If the family needs it, you have to give the wealth to the family for unified use, and that's what they think.
"I just want to ask now, about those lands, whose name is written on the title deed? And the evidence, I've got it, too. This title deed. That is, at that time, your family donated the ownership of the land to the victim Zhang Yan free of charge, and it is clear that your Zhang family patriarch, Zhang Dongfang, donated the land to Zhang Yan, so the land is Zhang Yan's. The prosecutor asked.
"That's right! I gave it to him, then I should have the right to take it back, and Beijing is our family's land! Zhang Dongfang said.
But immediately the prosecutor replied again: "According to the laws of our Taiwan region." After the gift, the ownership will also change. That is to say, since you gave it to Zhang Yan, this land belongs to Zhang Yan, and you do not have any rights to dispose of it and enjoy various rights. As for those who have already owned themselves, the right to benefit is also transferred. In other words, it was illegal to give the land to the family members and then ask the family members to hand over most of the grain. And now that you have donated the land to Zhang Yan and the property rights have been transferred, you naturally have no right to take it back. Therefore, it is also illegal for you to so-called repossession of land, and to commit homicide for this purpose is even more wrong. ”
Next, it is also very clear about Yiqiē, that is, Zhang Dongfang occupied Zhang Yan's land for the purpose of illegal occupation. And Zhang Yan didn't want the land to be encroached upon, so he wanted to resist, but he was beaten to death by Zhang Dongfang, the clan's clan, and finally the land was encroached upon. And in the end, Zhang Yan's son Zhang Guifang came over and asked the governor to call the shots, and then the next thing happened. And now that Zhang Dongfang has no legal reason to defend himself, his charges have begun to be established, and the next sentence will be made.
"Regarding the case of Zhang Dongfang killing Zhang Yan and encroaching on land, our court began to pronounce the verdict. Zhang Dongfang committed the crime of intentional homicide and refused to repent, so he was sentenced to death in accordance with the law, immediately executed, and deprived of political rights for life. Guilty of embezzlement, sentenced to three years' imprisonment. The punishment for several crimes was combined, and it was decided to carry out the death penalty immediately, and deprived of political rights for life. The verdict is over, and Zhang Dongfa is escorted to the execution ground for execution! Wang Xiande said.
And Zhang Dongfang's constant shouting could not stop the gendarmes behind him from pulling him down to carry him to execution.
Soon, the Taiwanese courts also adjourned, and then many people began to be happy, because the Taiwanese government was in charge of them. Originally, even after they got the land allocated by those families, they had to give a large amount of land to the family. And they can't figure it out, obviously the ownership of the land belongs to them, but why should they hand over the land harvest to most of the family, which is no different from the past. And now the Taiwan government has also sued those who own land in their names, and their land is not deprived by others, and it belongs to them. And the patriarch of those families demanded that most of the land be given to the family, which was not legal, so they could refuse to pay it.
If the family takes back the land, then they can come to the Taiwan government to make decisions for themselves, and then the Taiwan government will divide the land according to the ownership of the land, and then give them the decision according to the law. And this allows many people who own land under their names to completely get rid of the shackles of the family, they can own their own land, and they don't have to accept the management of those family elders again, and they can get their own freedom.
As for the patriarchs of those families, they also looked like concubines, because they knew that the current Taiwanese government was different from the past, and they were not thinking about the problem from the landlords like them. They used to want to avoid high agricultural taxes and then give the land to ordinary family members. I thought that this would be a way to avoid taxes, but this can be a cocoon. Those ordinary family members obtained the land, so they were naturally unwilling to hand it back again, and they were not willing to hand over a large amount of grain to the family again after they obviously obtained the ownership of the land, so that the main veins of the family could squander it. So they all began to resist one after another, and in this way, the centripetal force of the entire family also completely collapsed, but the centrifugal force of the family continued to increase, so that one family after another was completely dismembered, and then gradually dismembered.
This is a general trend, and they are powerless to reverse it. After all, those owners of land will not be willing to have their wealth taken away at any time, and there are too few people who can give up their interests for the sake of the family in the face of this huge interest. Therefore, it will inevitably cause which family members will begin to fall out with the family, and then the family will also begin to split, and then split into a small family, and from then on, there will hardly be a family with a large amount of land on the ground in Taiwan, and the society will also change from the family standard to the family standard.
In this way, the strength of each family will be greatly reduced, and then it will not be able to resist the rule of the government at all, so the power of the government can be directly managed by every person in the future, so that a large number of family members will not be gathered by those families to rebel against the rule of the government. And this is also conducive to the reform of the state and society in the future, so that the state and society will become more conducive to the development of capital and industry.
