Chapter 840: A Trial That Goes Down in History
The trial has since been regarded as a classic battle between prosecutors and lawyers, and the techniques and techniques they used in this debate have been imitated by young people who aspire to a career in the legal profession, and even the records of their words and deeds have been printed in legal textbooks.
The trial has officially begun.
Presiding Judge Huang Zongxi motioned to prosecutor Xu Yuanwen to present his charges.
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen wore the procuratorate's small black stand-up collar uniform, and a red sword and embroidered spring knife crossed badge pinned to his left chest, which showed that he was a warrior who defended the law and could use his own blood!
As long as prosecutor Xu Yuanwen wears this badge in court, he feels full of power, because he represents the law and can severely punish anyone who violates the laws of the Han and Tang Dynasties, until no one dares to try again!
What a power, what a responsibility!
The young prosecutor Xu Yuanwen was on the street, even at home, don't look at his youth, everyone looked at him in awe, because for several years, no one believed that the laws of the Hantang Group were just written on paper!
Even the formulators have to abide by them!
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen had a flame in his heart, but his face was like a spring breeze.
He stood up from his seat, smiled and nodded at the members of the jury, and said, "Hello jury! ”
As he said this, his eyes swept kindly over the faces of the 11 jurors.
Ah, a formidable prosecutor smiled at me!
At this moment, all of the 11 jurors had a good impression of him.
In fact, they are all ordinary people with the citizen ID cards of the Hantang Group, there are dock workers, there are cashiers, and the highest education is only a person who graduated from the junior elementary school of Chichi Elementary School - but when they are screened, they all have normal intelligence, and they can completely understand the words of others.
"Hello, Your Excellency Judge!"
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen also smiled kindly at Judge Huang Zongxi, but Judge Huang Zongxi's face was as unresponsive as ancient well water.
He then began to state his allegations.
Lawyer Jin Shengsian listened to his young opponent's thousand-word accusation as smoothly as flowing water, word for word, without a single pause, this kid wrote it down with his brain!
He tapped his head with an ivory pen, but he couldn't, and if he had any thoughts, he might forget them.
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen made a final statement.
"Honorable jury, the defendant in front of you seems to be honest, but in fact—"
Jin Sheng sighed and suddenly jumped up and raised his hand and said, "I object, Your Excellency, the other party is describing my client in emotional language!" ”
Judge Huang Zongxi patted the rosewood and said, "The opposition is valid!" Prosecutor, state and not describe! ”
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen immediately smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
This warning was too well deserved, and he saw that someone in the jury threw a disgusted look at the pretending honest Zheng Ji!
It would be better to have a little more jurors who were impressed, and we will find a way next time!
Finally, prosecutor Xu Yuanwen stated his three charges: commercial bribery, illegal arms trafficking, and financing the enemy.
Judge Huang Zongxi asked quietly: "Defendant Zheng Ji, can you clearly hear the three charges against you?" ”
Zheng Ji cried at that time, choked up and said, "Hear clearly." ”
Judge Huang Zongxi asked quietly: "Defendant Zheng Ji, you can express your views in court." ”
"Your Excellency! I was wrong—I had fallen for that woman, and I didn't know she was sent by the Tartars! ”
Jin Sheng sighed and praised the lawyer, good, this kid performed well!
He observed at least one of them looking sympathetic, but alas—only one!
Judge Huang Zongxi asked quietly: "Defendant Zheng Ji, you can express your views in court."
Do you confess all of your sins, or do you confess only part of your sins—"
Zheng Ji quietly looked at Jin Sheng's lawyer, and when he saw that he gave him a confident nod, he said, "-I admit the first two, and the last one--I don't recognize!" ”
There was some commotion in the audience of the courtroom!
Judge Huang Zongxi raised the shocking wood, knocked on it, and shouted in a majestic voice:
"Any bystander who dares to make a noise in the courtroom will be found guilty of contempt of court!
The criterion is: Don't let the judge hear you! ”
The scene fell silent all of a sudden.
The two balance wings on Judge Huang Zongxi's black hat are motionless, neither left nor right, which requires the trial judge to always be upright.
On the wall behind his high-backed chair, there is a Shuanglong opera gear flag of the Han and Tang groups - he thinks it is a pearl, and there is basically no industrial knowledge; If you think that it is an important industrial part, you will think that you have a certain amount of industrial knowledge.
This is a private evaluation criterion for people.
Four tall and imposing bailiffs stood in the corners, they just stood motionless, but they always made one aware of their presence.
Zheng Damu whispered to his father Zheng Zhilong: "These four bailiffs are comparable to the god of war-"
His friend Shi Lang nodded in approval,
Zheng Zhilong smiled and motioned for them to watch the trial, this is the most important thing.
The court will issue 300 spectator tickets at a time, and those who come first will be issued first, and if they receive them in person, and if they enter the venue in person, they must be registered, and they will be valid at that time.
For these three tickets, after the three of them had supper, they came to the gate of the court at about three o'clock in the second half of the night to have a look, but they almost didn't get in line.
So you can only sit in the back row.
Seeing that the people in the courtroom were quieter and did not affect the hearing of the jury in the slightest, Judge Huang Zongxi still maintained a proper movement and said: "Jury, can you hear the prosecution's accusations and the defendant's statement clearly?" ”
"Yes, hear you all, Your Honor!"
The jurors have also undergone simple training from the bailiffs beforehand, so they understand how each person will reply.
Judge Huang Zongxi heard eleven answers one after another, and then asked:
"Did the prosecution and the defense hear clearly?"
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen and Jin Sheng's judge stood up respectfully and said in unison: "Yes, you heard it all clearly, Your Excellency!" ”
At this time, Judge Huang Zongxi patted the shocked wood and said: "This judge declares that the defendant agrees with the first two charges!" The case can be closed and the verdict can be pronounced at a certain time! Now for the third count!
The counsel appointed by the accused is invited to take the floor in his defence-"
The clerk in Courtroom No. 1 was doing a quick note of the trial—in fact, there were two reporters in the audience who were also doing a quick note.
Secretary-General Yang Youxing didn't have to come because he wanted to come in line, not because he wanted privileges, whether he was mistaken, the profession of a journalist is also great, and he must be respected - this respect is to have his own special seat in the courtroom, even if he can take pictures casually, right?!
At that time, Chairman Wu Dapeng said coldly on the Internet:
"The work of a journalist is respectable, but in the courtroom, can it be greater than the judge? Can it be bigger than the law?! If it's bigger than the law, I should fucking have a box! ”
Director Mu Mu immediately jumped out and said, yes, yes!
Secretary-General Yang Youxing immediately crooked the building and said, "How can a chairman be? It's a worrying quality—"
As a result, the people of the Hantang Group are all people who want to lead!
No one was fooled into talking about quality, morality, and the like.
Chairman Wu Dapeng still said coldly on the Internet: "If we don't even abide by the laws we have formulated, each of us knows that we will definitely benefit, and we will benefit so much!"
But then we won't all be able to sleep well, what's the bottom line? Rat!
There is no escape for all of us!
Except for Jiang Xue and Fan Weiye, we are all over forty years old, right?
Which one doesn't abide by the bottom line, and then leads into the ditch of quality and morality, you are a fool when everyone else?! ”
Secretary General Yang Youxing's handsome face was flushed with anger, look at it, a big chairman, damn and forced, rude and obscene!
Manager Shen Qianqian finally came back at this time, and she went to Taipei on a business trip during the period.
"Qianqian!" Secretary General Yang Youxing arched his head into her arms, "They are bullying people together!" ”
"Then ignore them, my sister will take you to take a mandarin duck bath!"
Really good, what's wrong with the chairman? You're not a single dog yet?!
The two went happily and ignored the live broadcast of the court.
Of course, the Ming people don't know.
Jin Shengsi's lawyer stood up at this time, made a bow to the members of the jury, and said: "It's Jin Shengsi, it's Zheng Ji, the young man's lawyer, all the judges, be well!" ”
The long-lost Daming-style gift - Jin Sheng's lawyer wore a bifurcated version of the abdomen, which is different from the common straight shirt of the Ming Dynasty, and also different from the windbreaker of the Han and Tang Group, saving fabric and easy to move.
He wears a square hat and holds a bamboo fracture fan in his hand - the image of a long-lost genius of the Ming Dynasty!
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen frowned, when they appeared in court before, he was not dressed like this, and today he was intentional!
His assistant reminded him in a whisper, saying, "Age! ”
Ah, this old guy looks at the age of the jury disguise!
There were eight members of the jury over the age of thirty-five!
Well, he's trying to curry favor - be careful.
Jin Sheng sighed and said again: "Honorable Judge, be well! Let me state here my client's situation -- Zheng Ji is only twenty years old this year, a young man who has never traveled to study, and the furthest he has come to Taiwan-"
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen gritted his teeth, he was implying that the person had no experience and was trying to win sympathy, but this was a statement-
"Zheng Ji has already pleaded guilty to the first two crimes--however, there is one very interesting expenditure, he donated 40,000 horse tickets to the Golden Gourd Foundation, and everyone knows that it is an emergency expenditure for civilians to treat diseases and first aid - so-"
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen was furious, he raised his hand and shouted: "I object, Your Excellency, the other party is stating something unrelated to this accusation!" ”
Judge Huang Zongxi patted the rosewood and said, "The opposition is valid!" Defense, you have to state things related to the charges. ”
Jin Sheng sighed and said, "I know—"
However, he was happy in his heart, what he said was that it had nothing to do with the accusation, but this matter at least made the members of the three jury nod slightly!
Zheng Ji, you kid, doing a little good deed will give you extra points!
Don't learn to drink wolf's milk and grow up, always be vicious to others-
Jin Sheng's Judge continued:
"Crimes against the enemy? This is a very serious accusation, and it refers to the subjective and deliberate behavior of someone who has the citizen ID card of the Hantang Group subjectively and deliberately providing weapons and equipment or military materials to the enemy under the objective conditions of the Han and Tang clique's declaration of war with the enemy -- but are the Tartar bandits our enemies?! They deserve it too!! He is a robber and a thief!! ”
Jin Sheng's judge almost howled, but it was not surprising at all, there were young members of the jury who nodded their heads in approval!!
Prosecutor Xu Yuanwen suddenly realized that this old guy wanted to make a fuss against the other party!
He jumped up and said, "I'm against it!" Your Excellency, the defense is trying to mislead the jury! ”
Judge Huang Zongxi patted the rosewood and said, "The opposition is valid!" Please pay attention to the extension of your definition! ”
At this time, he had to deflect his head, his balance wings trembling at the jury, he said: "The so-called enemy is not only referring to the enemy, but also contains subjective and intentional violations of our laws or regulations.
I wonder if the jury can understand the judge's explanation? ”
"Understood, Judge!"
When Judge Huang Zongxi heard eleven voices and understood, he said, "Please continue to defend the defense!" ”
Jin Sheng sighed that the lawyer regretted a little at this time, this kind of incitement method was too low-level, he was not arguing with others at the wine table, and he should not use it again in the future - this is the court.
He made up his mind and tried to get back the lost points!
