There were four or five hundred people around the entrance of the Chang'an Lingya, and this was a case that the entire Chang'an already knew about and made public.

"Who's in the hall? Who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant? ”

This is not a movie, but a direct court trial.

The person in charge of the court trial is Jingzhao Judicial Army, this position can be said to be a combination of civilian and military duties, and the civilian part is responsible for hearing some cases that are not too big or small. The part of the military position is that there are some criminal cases that need to be solved, etc., and he is the commander, or the main person in charge.

Downstairs, there was no such mighty roar as on TV.

Only one of the small officials stood at the door and shouted: "The chief official of the hall asks for his name, and the court trial begins!" ”

Kneeling?

This is Datang, there is no need to kneel at all, and there are cushions for non-criminal cases.

"Jin Manqing, a folk girl, is the plaintiff. The people's daughter Chang'an Yaozhou is a second-class plumber in Yaozhou, a candidate student of the Royal Academy School of Medicine, and this time she came to Chang'an, one is to purchase some gifts, part of it is to make friends with sisters in Yaozhou, and part of it is to prepare to visit her parents, and she has already approved it. The second reason for entering Chang'an is to go to the Imperial School Department of the Ministry of Rites to sign up and accept the review, because the Minnu already has some functions, and has made some contributions to medical academics, as well as a letter of recommendation from the chief official of Yaozhou. So get a qualification for admission without an exam. ”

As soon as Jin Manqing spoke, he explained the situation on his side very clearly.

Last night, Wei Zheng personally taught her what to say and what not to say in the hall. That part is the focus, and that part is secondary.

Even, if you go to win the sympathy of the people who hear it, etc. Wei Zheng has a detailed plan for her.

Jin Manqing also knows very well that the slap she was beaten is no longer her own thing, and it seems to involve a lot. It's just that at the moment, he is really standing up for himself, so Jin Manqing is very cooperative, and he recited the things Wei Zheng explained very seriously.

The Jingzhao Judicial Commander in the hall stretched out his hand and pressed it twice: "When the official asks you, I will talk about it in detail." ”

With that, the judicial officer turned to the Baekje envoy: "Then you are the defendant." Can the scribe check the identity of the plaintiff and the defendant, as well as the reason for being in the East Market? ”

The Baekje envoy stood there motionless, and he didn't want to ask such a question. I won't answer.

As an envoy of a country. He doesn't answer any questions lightly.

The envoys of Baekje are only thinking about one thing at the moment, that is, how to get rid of this trouble in front of them, and it is obvious that the people of Datang are doing something with this matter, but it is certainly not aimed at them Baekje. The attitude of the Goguryeo envoy made him feel a little chilled. So he was sitting in the hall at this time. I just want to end this matter as soon as possible.

"Plaintiff, state your charges!"

"The folk girl went to the East Market, and there was a guide to the East City to lead the shops. On the street, the folk girl didn't know what was going on, but she was suddenly beaten, and then he said I was a slut. At that time, the folk girl had already said that she was a commoner in Chang'an, and that people who were not slaves were called sluts, which was insulting. The women accused him of hurting people, the second accused him of verbal insult, and the third accused him of bullying the people! ”

After Jin Manqing finished speaking, he straightened up and saluted.

"Defendant, you can plead guilty!" The judicial officer asked aloud.

At this time, the Baekje envoy considered that he could admit his guilt in beating someone, but he would never admit that he was insulting. What kind of bullying words must not be recognized. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to stay in Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an would have some opinions about themselves and even Baekje.

While the Baekje envoys were considering how to speak, someone outside the hall held up a document and shouted: "The Goguryeo envoy sent a letter to the Tang Dynasty Jing Zhao Yin, Goguryeo does not restrict civilians from wearing silk, and attaches an explanation of the rank of Goguryeo costumes to help the Tang Dynasty Jing Zhao Yin judge the Dongshi case!" ”

A normal document, the small officials of the Goguryeo envoy group actually shouted it on purpose.

Who is this shouted for?

The Baekje envoys felt their hearts cracked, and the Goguryeo people would do this.

With a hand pressed to his heart, the expression of the Baekje envoy was extremely calm, and then he slowly left the cushion and stood up, his tone extremely calm: "Confess!" ”

The Baekje envoy's confession made everyone in the hall and the hall blind, especially the people sent by Wei Zheng in the back hall were like a fist hitting the cotton.

But the people outside the door were cheering, and their hearts were biased toward the weak.

The person sent by Wei Zheng had even more headaches, which was different from the original Jihua.

Originally, Jihua was, just waiting for this Baekje envoy to refute, and then Jin Manqing presented a lot of evidence on his side.

The outcome of the court trial is not important, what matters is the process.

"Since you confess your guilt, after a quarter of an hour, you will hear the verdict!" The judicial officer motioned to the scribe in the hall to take the transcript and ask the Baekje envoy to draw the charge, and then took the transcript to the back hall.

This is a normal procedure, and the on-the-spot sentencing also requires a process of sentencing.

The person sent by Wei Zheng saluted Jing Zhaoyin: "Since the case is over, then so-and-so has resigned." ”

"That's the end of it?" Jing Zhaoyin asked rhetorically.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has a strict order, this case can design a trap, can make the Baekje people lose face, and even find a way to drag the Goguryeo people into the water. However, anyone who dares to interfere with the notarization of the laws of the Tang Dynasty is heavily responsible. A certain understanding is that the trap was placed by the plaintiff, but above the court, the judge only authenticates the evidence and adjudicates the case fairly! ”

After hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin nodded very solemnly: "The justice of the law of the Tang Dynasty is naturally not allowed to be blasphemed. Your Highness is wise. ”

These words were said by Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin, anyway, Wei Zheng's people didn't hear Li Yuanxing say it, but Wei Zheng told him that this was what His Royal Highness the King of Qin meant, the law must be fair, and things can have conspiracies.

Wei Zheng's men left.

It didn't take long for the Judicial Officers to return to the church.

During this period, the Baekje envoy had been standing very calmly, and when he saw the judicial army coming out, he even nodded slightly.

"Listen to the judgment!" The judicial army stood above the lobby and shouted loudly as the officials took their positions.

Jin Manqing also stood up, she didn't have so many thoughts, she just wanted to get justice.

"In the first year of Zhenguan, in the new law of the Tang Dynasty, the chief and deputy envoys of each envoy have the right to be exempted from punishment, except for the three major crimes of causing death, stealing Tang secrets, and contempt for the Tang royal family, the rest of the crimes can be in accordance with the new Tang law. Substitution of penalty. Substitute punishment one, a person who is not a slave of the envoy group, receives it on his behalf. ”

When the judicial officer said this, he paused for a moment.

On the surface, he was waiting for the reaction of the Baekje envoys, but in fact he was hesitating.

Because the second substitution is to replace the prisoner with a crown, to put it bluntly, that is, to be imprisoned for ten days, the envoy only needs to put the hat or the item that can represent himself in the cell.

But the people sent by Wei Zheng originally said that the idea was to let the Baekje envoys arrange for their people to put on their own clothes, and then beat him with a board, it doesn't matter how many boards he plays, one board is also a fight, and ten boards are also beaten.

After thinking about it, he played a trick on the text.

"The second generation of punishment, the prison sentence is replaced by the crown!"

This is a play on words, and it is also the lack of rigor in the sentences in the ancient text. The meaning of imprisonment is that one is to imprison this kind of punishment, and the other is to be imprisoned and punished. Imprisonment represents imprisonment, and punishment represents a very realistic punishment, such as beating a board or sweeping the streets.

"The third generation of punishment, substitution of punishment with silver money!"

The Baekje envoy secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this substitution punishment made him not expect that this was a kind of tolerance for the envoys of various states, and at the same time ensured the majesty of the law of the Tang Dynasty.

"However, any kind of substitution punishment needs to be approved by the bitter master!"

"The people don't admit to using silver money as a substitute for punishment." Jin Manqing lifted her dress and bowed.

The people outside the door also coaxed: "This little lady is not short of money, and the person wearing Yunjin does not need the fine money." ”

"That is, who cares about that bit of coins who can wear cloud brocade!"

The Baekje envoy was also calculating in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, anyway, this could not be punished himself. At the moment, he asked: "How to punish, please judge the case!" ”

"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, those who insult others will have ten to one hundred palms. The judge sentenced the defendant to 30 palms. Can the defendant be convinced? Without waiting for the Baekje envoy to react, the judicial officer continued: "Those who injure people will be given 10 to 200 strokes, and those who cause injuries and disabilities will be imprisoned for one to five years, and they will work together." If you are heavier, you will be exiled for thousands of miles! This officer sentenced the defendant to 40 strokes of the board, and those who hit people's faces, especially women, injured their faces, although they did not leave any scars, but the crime was increased by one degree! ”

The Baekje envoy didn't answer immediately, just looked at Jin Manqing.

Jin Manqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the very fierce Baekje guard he met in Dongshi that day: "If he comes to fight on his behalf, the people will agree!" After that, Jin Manqing gave another salute to the judicial army. Her attitude was extremely resolute.

"If the three generations of punishment are used together, can the punishment be reduced?"

If the Baekje envoys had been placed in the past, they would never have made such a choice. He doesn't care if a guard will be beaten, or if he will be killed or disabled, as long as he is not guilty.

But now, his mentality has changed slightly. The reason is that Goguryeo, as an ally, not only turned its back on him, but also fell into the trap.

This feeling of being betrayed is really bad.

Whether it was impulsive or a conscience, the first thing the Baekje envoys wanted to do at the moment was to end the matter as soon as possible. Then it is to let his guards suffer a little less, and one reason for Zuihou is that he wants to take this opportunity to earn some goodwill for himself in front of the people of Chang'an, because he still needs to stay in Chang'an, and he still needs to have some jihua and ideas.

The judicial army was extremely happy in his heart, and this result was exactly what he wanted.

"The plaintiff and the defendant did not have the slightest self-defense in court and immediately pleaded guilty. This is a kind of sincerity, since the defendant has admitted his mistake, Chang'an has the virtue of giving three points of courtesy since January. The official thinks that the fine is consistent, and the loss is five times. And the guard put on the garment of the defendant and the crown. He was punished with five slaps and ten plates. Plaintiff, what do you think? ”

Jing Zhaoyin listened in the back, and said in his heart that you are really smart when you join the army. However, he could not stop it. (To be continued......)
