"Ascension, silence!"

After this chant, the other four court staff members chanted in unison: "Mighty! ”

The judge, who was nearly 40 years old, walked to his seat and sat down with a serious face, for in recent months, every time he was promoted, the public hall had been overcrowded, and today the auditorium was even more crowded, and even the gaps between the seats were full of people. Except for the curious local people in Xiaoshan, most of them are Di reporters from all over the country, and this case has caused a national sensation in the past few months, and these reporters are anxiously waiting for the verdict of the judge to record the sentence.

After sitting down, the criminal officer did not immediately go to pick up the shock, but first looked at the two silver-haired old men sitting on the far left side of the dock, the two surviving former new military camp officers who participated in the Battle of Hangzhou bowed their heads, and their chests were full of dazzling medals.

"General Bao and General Shi, your despicable behavior is despicable," the criminal officer rebuked the two veteran generals loudly, "what you have done is a disgrace to our country, our army, and His Majesty the ruling king, and to all those who have worked hard for our country!" ”

After speaking, the criminal officer slapped the shocked wood, and the already silent public court was so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly when it landed.

"The Xiaoshan Supervision Department charged the defendant with conspiracy to kill Song Jianjun, and the official found the defendant not guilty."

"The Xiaoshan Supervision Department sued the defendant for conspiracy to falsify the suicide scene, and the official found the defendant not guilty."

"The bereaved family of the Song family sued the army for improper employment, and the Xiaoshan Criminal Division had no jurisdiction over this and rejected it."

"The bereaved family of the Song family asked the army to revise the part of the war history related to the battle of Hangzhou, but the Xiaoshan Criminal Division has no jurisdiction over this and rejected it."

"The Song family group asked the military academy to revise the part about the battle of Hangzhou in the existing textbook, but the Xiaoshan Criminal Division had no jurisdiction over this and rejected it."

……

After saying all the verdicts that were unfavorable to the plaintiff Song family in one breath, the criminal officer paused and said in an aggravated tone: "Song Jianjun is a soldier, no matter what the army has done to him, it is not within the jurisdiction of this official, but his widow and children are not. The army concealed the facts from the bereaved family of the deceased for some shady reasons, and the wanton rumors about the cause of Song Jianjun's death also caused great harm to his bereaved family......"

After explaining the reasons for his sentencing, the criminal officer announced: "The damage caused by the army to the bereaved family of the Song family is not within the army but occurs in the army and the people, and the original place of this damage is Xiaoshan, and the Xiaoshan Criminal Division has natural jurisdiction over this, and the official sentenced the army to compensate the bereaved family of the Song family with 1 million." ”

At this time, there was only the dense sound of pen and paper rubbing in the courtroom, and all the reporters lowered their heads and quickly recorded the speech of the criminal officer.

"Although the Song family did not ask for it, the official also ordered the military to ......" The criminal officer looked at the other side of the defendant's seat, where there were three soldiers sitting in a precarious position, they were the representatives of the military, each with a straight waist, wearing a straight military uniform, looking at it intently, and the criminal officer pointed in the direction behind the plaintiff's seat: "Solemnly apologize to Instructor Song's son." ”

Seeing that the three military representatives did not react immediately, the criminal officer stared at them and said: "If the army is not satisfied with the verdict of this officer, you can appeal to the Hangzhou Prefecture Criminal Division." ”

The three officers had already discussed the issue of sentencing with the military counsel, and the judge's verdict was not too unexpected, and the old case had turned into an intolerable scandal for the army, and the military counsel strongly recommended that all tolerable verdicts be accepted. The best outcome of an appeal to the Hangzhou government is to have it dismissed, and if the Hangzhou court's arraignment officer re-accepts the case, the military will have to endure months of scandal and be questioned in court.

The three officers stood up at the same time, turned neatly to Song Jianjun's son, took off their hats and hugged them in their arms, bent down ninety degrees and bowed deeply to him, maintained this position for a few minutes before slowly raising their bodies, and then neatly turned around and re-faced Xiao Shan to raise the sentence: "My lord, the army accepts the verdict and gives up the appeal." ”

"The defendant can go." The criminal officer slapped the shocked wood again: "Retreat!" ”

After the back of the criminal officer disappeared, the court suddenly seemed to be boiling, and a large number of reporters ran frantically to the door, intending to send the news back to their city as quickly as possible, and there were many reporters outside the door who could not squeeze in. ”

Others rushed forward to ask questions of the original defendant.

At this time, Song Jianjun's son was already in tears, and he looked at Li Lawyer: "Mr. Li, we won?" ”

"Yes, Boss Song, we won." Li Litigation Division said with a smile, he asked the Song family to change the unjust suicide into a murder lawsuit, and he knew that he would definitely not win from the beginning of such a ridiculous accusation of murder, but he gave the Xiaoshan Criminal Division a reason to accept it, and the summoned party had to accept the most harsh repeated interrogation in public: "I have never lost a lawsuit." ”

"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pay your lawsuit." Song Jianjun's son laughed easily, his savings were barely enough to pay a month's lawyer's fees, although the other party kept saying that he would settle the case and settle the bill, but this was also a boulder that always pressed on his heart: "Mr. Li, we will settle the bill tomorrow." ”

"We can settle it now," Lawyer Li said with a smile: "Boss Chen has already said that Boss Song's lawsuit money has been waived, and our lawyer will treat this lawsuit." ”

"What?" Song Jianjun's son shouted: "How can this be done? ”

"Why not? If it weren't for the fear that the defendant would have instigated the incident, Boss Chen would have wanted to send a copy of the money to Boss Song. Seeing that Song Jianjun's son still looked uncertain, Li Yishi smiled and stretched out his hand to the owner not far away - Boss Chen was surrounded by a large group of reporters in the middle, and was making a loud statement:

"Chen Kee Lawyer, the best lawyer in the country."

……

Back in his office, the chief prosecutor breathed a sigh of relief, the case had been tormenting him for months, and finally it was over, and he planned to take a leave of absence to relax for some time.

"My lord, the governor of Zhejiang is visiting."

"Please."

Since this case, in this small office of the Xiaoshan Criminal Division, big names have come one after another.

"Your Excellency the Governor, is there anything you can do to your subordinates?"

The governor of Zhejiang was only sixty years old, but he was still in good spirits, and after sitting down, he first congratulated: "Lord Xing is really young and promising, and this case is really meticulous and convincing. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor has won the prize." After the case heated up, the governor of Zhejiang also took the time to come to Xiaoshan to listen three times, but this was the first time he came to talk to Xiaoshan's criminal officer, and the two could be called the first time they met.

"Lord Xing should know that in a few months, it will be time for another election in our province." The governor of Zhejiang was quick to talk, and immediately went straight to the point after a sentence.

"The lower officials have always voted for the Governor," the criminal officer laughed, "The Governor does not need to canvass for votes, and the lower officials are also your loyal henchmen." ”

"I know this," it was because he heard that the other party was a hardcore supporter of his own policy that the governor of Zhejiang came to talk with confidence, and believed that this topic would be favored by the criminal officer: "There is a major problem in our province, and that is the judiciary. ”

"That's what the Governor said." The criminal officer immediately nodded and said: "The justice of our province has been far behind Fujian and Guangdong, and it really needs to catch up." ”

This issue is also where the governor of Zhejiang has been under attack, and his political opponents have been violently attacking Zhejiang's judicial backwardness recently, and the questions are very sharp and harsh, which makes the governor feel very troubled, and finds that a lot of votes have been lost.

"So I want to invite Lord Xing to help me and join forces with me to run for the next provincial election." Originally, Xiaoshan's criminal officer was just an inconspicuous petty official, but the trial of this case made him famous, and the governor of Zhejiang found that the people's impression of this criminal officer was very good, and more than ninety out of five people thought that he was upright and a trustworthy good official.

"Your Excellency the Governor wants to be your deputy?" The judge was taken aback.

"Yes, if Lord Xing is willing to take up the post of deputy governor, the judiciary of our province will be able to rush after Fujian and Guangdong." The governor of Zhejiang believes that with such a running mate, it will not be so easy for political opponents to attack themselves on judicial loopholes.

"Governor Haihan, the lower officials are unwilling to engage in politics," the criminal officer shook his head slightly, and rejected the proposal of the governor of Zhejiang: "Just now the governor said that the judiciary of our province is backward, in fact, this is a problem, the criminal officers always want to enter politics, which will inevitably make us ask for others, and it will affect our trial of cases." The Fujian Provincial Secretary Yuan has already enacted a law that proposers are not allowed to run for election or hold any public office within five years of their resignation. ”

"That's right," the governor of Zhejiang frowned, and asked again: "Although Lord Xing wants to continue to be a criminal officer, it shouldn't be limited to Xiaoshan, right?" ”

"Of course there is no limit," the judge said with a smile, "Who doesn't look forward to a successful career?" There are seniors in Hangzhou who are about to retire, and maybe this time it will be the turn of the next official. ”

"What is Hangzhou Mansion?" The governor of Zhejiang, a worker in a small shipyard in Zhejiang during the Ming Dynasty, did not read much but was quite adventurous, and after the fall of the Ming court, he was one of the first bold men to devote himself to the new style of politics, and by the time others reacted many years later, he already had a solid place in the political arena. The governor of Zhejiang's temperament is relatively straightforward, and he patted his thigh when he heard this: "There is a vacancy for the provincial criminal officer now, and I am busy with the election and has not decided on it, so let's go to the Provincial Secretary of State next month to nominate Lord Xing to fill this vacancy, how about it?" ”

"This," although he was a little eager to try, the criminal officer still asked, "Isn't it customary for the Governor to interview this nomination?" ”

"Of course there is an interview, is Lord Xing free now? Let's get started when we have time. ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, the governor of Zhejiang frowned and thought for a while, and asked: "If there is a profiteer who bribes the government to bid successfully, how will Lord Xing punish this person?" ”

This question made the criminal officer pause, he knew that the former prefect of Ningbo was a friend of the governor of Zhejiang, and it was because of such a case that he was ousted - a businessman reported the friend of the governor of Zhejiang who accepted bribes, and now the case is still being heard: "Does the governor have something to say?" ”

"Well, yes, that profiteer is appealing to the Provincial Criminal Division, saying that he was *** for bribery, and now he is convicted of bribery because the Ningbo government is retaliating against the whistleblower......" The governor of Zhejiang said angrily, and suddenly he stopped his mouth: "How will Lord Xing judge this case?" ”

Xiao Shan's criminal officer tapped lightly on the table, and the answer to this question is likely to determine whether he can be nominated for this vacant provincial criminal officer position: "Last year, the Guangdong Provincial Secretary passed a regulation: There is no crime of bribery for public officials. Recently, the Fujian Provincial Secretary of State is also debating this topic, and it is very likely to pass, which is a kind of protection for the whistleblower, and it is also an encouragement for the whistleblower to report illegal officials, and the government is strong for businessmen anyway, and all bribery can actually be called ***. ”

"How will Lord Xing judge this case?" The Governor of Zhejiang asked.

"If the Governor nominates the Lower Officer as the Provincial Magistrate, and it happens that the case of the Governor's friend falls into the hands of the Lieutenant," said the Magistrate, "the Lieutenant will not pursue the bribery of the merchant." ”

The governor of Zhejiang pursed his lips, tilted his head and thought for a while, then stood up and said, "Lord Xing, next month, I will nominate you as the provincial criminal officer at the Provincial Secretary of State, and at the same time, I will announce my candidacy for re-election." ”

As long as the judicial aspect is done well and political opponents are not allowed to take advantage of it, the governor of Zhejiang will not have a problem in feeling that he will be re-elected for a few more terms.

Capital

"Big brother, are you reading the newspaper again?"

"yes." Huang Naiming has a thick stack of newspapers in his hand, he reads the newspaper while drinking tea, and in the distance there is still half of his carpenter work, so many newspapers in Beijing have their own opinions on Song Jianjun's case, and Huang Naiming specially picks them to analyze the case.

"Don't get along with yourself," this younger brother is more than ten years younger than Huang Naiming, and he is not very deeply touched by the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty: "It's all in the past, and a lot of things in the newspaper are also untrue." ”

"If Funing's Di Bao was so unscrupulous at that time, and the people around me dared to talk like this, how could I be so confused back then." Huang Naiming let out a long sigh.

"These two traitors have done these evil things and lost such a big ugliness," Huangshi's youngest son couldn't help but say angrily: "Did the eldest brother spare the two of them like this?" ”

"I haven't been caring about anything all these years," Huang Naiming raised his head and smiled at his younger brother: "Others don't get anything from me, so they won't come to scold me, and they don't worry about who I punish, so no one will flatter me, so I can be an understanding person now." It's not easy to be an understanding person, make an exception for these two guys? It's not worth it. ”

"Understood? But big brother, you just understand and don't care about anything, what is the benefit of the country? ”

"Didn't my father do the same later? I don't care about anything to be a person who understands, and if I reach out and take back the power of life and death, I should be confused immediately. Huang Naiming raised the newspaper in his hand: "Little brother, now I can read the newspaper with peace of mind because I don't care about anything, if I have the power in my hands, I dare to say that someone will immediately dig out their hearts to fake the newspaper for me!" It's better to be a person who understands that it is not beneficial to the country than to be a fool with great power, right? ”

"Big brother, since you know, you can prevent it."

"I can't prevent it, little brother, how do you say I'm better than my father?"

"Hmmm......"

"Surely it's not as good as it, right? When the father has the power, he is also confused, the people around him have their own calculations, coaxing, coaxing people to be confused, when the father's power is the greatest, is when he is the most confused. What's the use of understanding in the light of the heart? The eyes are blind! What you see and hear is what others want you to hear and see, can you not be confused? ”

……

Time goes back to many years ago, when the First World War in Hangzhou had just ended.

"It was not only the Funing army that was captured, but also many Zhaoqing soldiers." According to the confessions of the prisoners, most of the main forces of the regular army in Fujian and Guangdong provinces were brought out by Huang Naiming, and as a result, Hangzhou lost a lot in the first battle. After learning that Huang Naiming and Zhao Slowxiong were gathering their troops, Xu Ping sent an army to attack and forced them to continue to retreat to the southeast, so that most of the enemy's rout either fled into the mountains and forests or were captured by the Shun army.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to fight along the eastern coast of Zhejiang," now Xu Ping doesn't have a very good way to deal with the Funing Naval Division, Zhou Dongtian was ordered to select sites on both sides of the Yangtze River, prepare to build several large batteries, and install heavy mountain guns for them to deter the enemy from easily entering the Yangtze River: "We don't have many heavy artillery, and we can't run around with them, but the Sailors are different, they come and go easily." Since ancient times, the southerners have been good at boating, and it is never wise to fight them at the water's edge. ”

"What is the General going to do?"

"I plan to leave a partial division to slowly clear the eastern part of Zhejiang, just force them into the city fortress by the sea, there is no need to rush to conquer it, the sea is so vast, before our naval division is established, they can come and leave as they want, and it makes no difference whether they pull out the enemy city fortress along the coast or not. I will take the main force directly to Fujian, didn't the captives say that the main forces of Funing and Zhaoqing were scattered by us? Just take advantage of the weakness to attack Fujian. ”

"General, be careful, their naval division is strong, and they may come back from eastern Zhejiang."

"Then don't you have Zhedong at your fingertips? What's more, sooner or later, I will have to face Master Hou on the battlefield sooner or later," Xu Ping looked at Yu Shenhe on the side: "Brother Yu still remembers what we said back then, this day is finally coming." ”

"Yes," Yu Shenhe also remembered that conversation, and when he thought of facing Zhendong Hou, he would inevitably feel pressured, after all, everything that Shunjun had now originated from this person: "But Hou Ye may be old, and the majesty is gone." ”

"I don't think so, last time the Hou Ye laughed and said that I didn't even learn a tenth of him......"

"That's scaring you, sir."

"I hope, but I don't think Hou Ye is fake, we have to be careful this time, maybe Hou Ye has some killer weapon waiting for us."

"The general is too worried." Li Chengdong became more and more frustrated when he heard Xu Ping and Yu Shenhe talk, and couldn't help but interject: "Huanghou's martial arts are good, but how can anyone keep the killer weapon and sit and watch the other party have eight of the best in the world?" ”
