Chapter 839: The Jury. Judge. Prosecutor. Lawyer
The day of Zheng Ji's trial in the No. 1 courtroom of the Hantang Court was like a grand day.
Thousands of ordinary Fujian people pleaded for the young Zheng Ji in front of the square of the Han and Tang Dynasty courts, and this is indeed the case, if he knew that it was a group of Tartar robbers who came to buy arms, he would definitely not sell them!
Not to mention that the Tartar bandit group slaughtered the city elsewhere, even the slaughter of Tong'an was the pain of the Zheng family group.
On August 16, 1648, Chen Tai, the "Jingnan General" of the Tartar bandit group, Chen Jin, the "Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian", and Zhao Guozuo, the "Governor of Fujian", carried out a large-scale massacre in Tong'an County, Fujian.
At that time, the Tatar army attacked Tong'an, and the reinforcements of the Zheng army were blocked due to the unfavorable wind direction.
After the city of Tong'an was broken, the defenders of the city were all killed, and the Tartar army began to slaughter the city, bleeding into the ditches.
About 50,000 civilians were slaughtered!
Those are civilians who are somewhat related!
Therefore, no one can forget this blood debt! ――
And knowing that his relatives are also going to the battlefield, how can he possibly sell arms to the army of Tartar bandits?
In the past few days, the "Fujian Times" has repeatedly reported on the massacre of Tong'an, the events of N rebellion against the Tartar army, and the murderous incidents of the N number of Tartar army.
Of course, you can read the Fujian Times, the young prosecutor Xu Yuanwen filed a charge against Zheng Ji in the pre-trial stage of treason and defection to the enemy, which is a crime that can cost Zheng Ji's life!
Dean Fan immediately stopped him and talked to him.
Dean Fan said: "Obviously, Zheng Ji has already admitted his crime, why does Hantang Group still have to go through the process like this? The patrol police department wants to re-investigate, and we have to pre-trial -- one of the reasons for this is to show that our Hantang Group must take the Hantang law as the most important thing in everything, and the other is to test the cooperation of our patrol, procuratorate, and law, so our accusations must be rigorous, you know the information, the Hantang Group has never carried out a strict crackdown, because our law has always been within a framework, within a standard, there is no strict or not strict.
Therefore, your accusation must not be too serious, since it is truly in accordance with the law, it should not be dealt with severely and severely, and it cannot be flexible. ”
The young prosecutor Xu Yuanwen was smart, and he said to President Fan of the West seriously:
"Dean, I just want to show that the perpetrator is responsible for his crimes, and that he also committed crimes that killed and injured my security personnel!"
Dean Fan of the West knows that the young people under the rule of the Hantang Group all have a good impression and respect for the security team, not because the clothes on their bodies are handsome, nor because the salary is not low, but because they can give each other a devastating blow when facing the Tartar bandits!
It's a feeling that makes people's blood boil just thinking about it, and the security team we are waiting for is the strongest in the world!
There is no one in the world who is invincible!
So, it is intolerable anger to bring harm to them just because of one person!
When thousands of ordinary Fujian people pleaded for the young Zheng Ji in front of the Han and Tang courts, there were also local young people shouting:
"Zheng Ji must be severely punished!"
"The blood of the security team cannot be shed in vain!"
Well, both sides were demonstrating in the square of the Han and Tang courts, which did not affect others, nor did it affect traffic, and there was no physical contact - the patrol police department dispatched two squads, they put their police bicycles in the square, lined up in two columns, told both sides not to cross, and then boredomly shook the T-shaped batons, walking back and forth,
There was also a group of female patrol officers among them, and Captain Hu Cuihua led a group of female patrol officers to come.
Their uniforms are the same color as those of the male patrol officers, but their style is dignified and beautiful, which can be regarded as fashionable in the mid-17th century.
During the patrol of the male patrol officer, no one paid attention to what the two gangs were shouting, and sometimes they winked at the figure of Captain Hu Cuihua.
This girl is unusual, in the firearms assessment conducted every year, her five-child revolver has a 30-meter fixed target and a 20-meter moving target, and she has always been the champion!
It's a mixed race.
Moreover, her muscles and bones are quite powerful, and she can deal with two male patrol officers in a freehand fight!
And she's beautiful, and she's in good shape - a person from the Hantang Group often writes to her, you know.
Of course, the naughtiness of these male patrol officers is impossible for the angry crowd to see, and the young people of Re-Chi Dacheng are a little more enthusiastic, they are expressing their anger,
Therefore, it is impossible for people's emotions not to affect the emotions of prosecutors, let alone twenty-year-old prosecutors!
Dean Ximen Fan knew that during the whole process of this trial, no one from the Hantang Group participated, and at most he gave guidance, and everyone on the Internet at that time agreed to let Mingren handle his own affairs, of course, within the framework of their regulations.
Therefore, Dean Ximen Fan couldn't let this hot-blooded young man run too far.
In the end, he decided to charge Zheng Ji with three crimes: commercial bribery, illegal arms trafficking, and financing the enemy.
Dean Simon Fan also tried to persuade him, although he was a little enthusiastic, but at least he still listened to his own teachings, which was still too heavy--but then he thought about it, if he was not allowed to play freely, it would not be conducive to his growth.
Who hasn't been younger? Who hasn't had a hot blood? Who doesn't have the idea of sending all the bad guys in the world to jail!?
All sins will be punished!
But there must always be an immutable and fixed law -
When lawyer Kim Sung-sigh clearly knew the charges of these three crimes, he went to the court's detention cell with an assistant in his leather bag and met his client, saying:
"All the evidence, whether it is provided by the Zheng family group or the Hantang Patrol Police Department, is very conclusive and unfavorable to you, in order to maximize your interests, I advise you to agree with the first two charges, and at the same time have to have a rehabilitated performance, the presiding judge I investigated, he sentenced young people who have the desire to change their lives is light.
As for the third item, I advise you not to admit it - ten to twenty years' imprisonment, or perhaps even the death penalty, is too heavy! ”
A smile appeared on Zheng Ji's originally pale face, and he said, "It's possible for me not to die-"
Jin Sheng sighed and frowned and said, "Without the approval of the jury and the sentencing of the judge, who can convict you?!" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Ji's mouth, and he said, "I thought I was dead, King Yongsheng didn't see me, and he liked me the most when I was a child—"
Jin Sheng sighed and said: "Now, the Son of Heaven can't save you, what can save you is the law of the Han and Tang Dynasties!" In the spirit of the principle of wholehearted service to the client, I propose that you refuse to recognize the third article—"
Zheng Ji's eyes also had a smile in his eyes, and he said, "When I came, Brother Zheng Zeshi said, let me listen to the words of the Han and Tang Dynasty courts honestly, and say whatever I ask—"
Jin Sheng sighed and pointed a finger on the table and said, "He is thinking about the interests of the Zheng family, you are my client, I only consider your interests - you have no subjective intention, you are deceived!" ”
A trace of panic flashed on Zheng Ji's face, he looked around, and whispered: "Actually, I also realized a little later, I sold a lot of arms to the opposition forces of the Li Dynasty, but why didn't there be any war in the newspaper about the internal war of the Li Dynasty - one day, she was sleeping and talking in her sleep, obviously in the Tatar language!"
I was scared, but I couldn't stop, and when I wanted to stop, the man said that he would report me to King Yongsheng and let me sell it one last time, again-"
Jin Sheng's lawyer immediately signaled to his assistant, he quickly took out all of Zheng Ji's testimony and confession, and looked at it quickly, sure enough, there was no relevant record, and his memory was good.
Jin Sheng sighed and said, "It's good, they didn't catch those people, so they can't prove that you are subjectively intentional!" ”
Zheng Ji was scared, and he looked around-
Jin Sheng's sigh laughed out loud and said:
"This is the place where the court allows the lawyer to meet with the client in custody without any surveillance, and the content of our conversation is protected by the laws of the Han and Tang dynasties, and no one will take it as evidence of a crime—"
Zheng Ji whispered, "Do I have to lie in court?" ”
"No, because the accuser has to testify for himself, and you just have to be silent—"
Judge Kim concluded his meeting with his detained client and returned to his office, where he carefully read the final materials for the members of the jury.
The members of the jury must now be in a place where they can't hear the loudspeakers, can't see the newspapers, and can't be seen by anyone but the bailiffs.
Prosecutor Xu Wenyuan is also carefully looking at the personal information of the jurors, but this is a public natural information provided to both parties.
Of course, Prosecutor Xu Wenyuan also wanted more, but the Hantang Procuratorate could not provide the funds.
He also waved his fist at the photos of the jurors posted on the wall, and whispered: "The criminals must be sentenced heavily!" ”
On the third day, the No. 1 courtroom of the Hantang Court began its formal trial.
This time, the presiding judge is Huang Zongxi, of course, Mayor Guo Ziren's renaming of people Huang Songyi has become a laughing stock for everyone.
Mayor Guo Ziren is really angry, he was wrong, this is understandable, but you can say it bluntly, this middle-aged uncle is not picky, he is obviously a person who loses himself.
Of course, everyone can also understand that at the beginning, after all, they didn't understand the situation of Hantang Group, which is also understandable.
Previously, when Justice Liu Yuan set up the court, he proposed to have a group of calm middle-aged and elderly Ming intellectuals, so that they could communicate well and not be enthusiastic.
If the judge also comes to the blood, it will be over!
But you can't be pedantic yet, and neither can the character of a good old man.
There are not many people who can be picked out in this way -- but after the joke that Huang Songyi admitted that he was Huang Zongxi came out, it immediately attracted the attention of Justice Liu Yuan, and this is a qualified candidate.
It was too suitable to be a Ming judge - so he was transferred to Re-Chi Dacheng, where he underwent some training, and then he was put in Taizhou City, where he was most familiar with the experience, looked at the case, and grasped the scale well.
Of course, the laws of the Hantang Group do not contradict the common sense of this time and space, and it is easy for people to understand.
Before the trial of Zheng Ji's case officially began, all the parties in the trial had to put their right hands on the "Statutes of the Han and Tang Dynasties" and swore that they would abide by it.
Judge Huang Zongxi was the last, and I only heard him say in a calm voice: "I am well aware of the content of the Statutes of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and I am willing to abide by it—"
Thanks to my old friends Golden Alliance Leader Sweet Grapes, Alliance Leader Xiao Xiang, Yue Xiao, Ling Buxu, and I am Yingni for their support.
