"Men of the court, you are guilty!" A startled sound broke all the silence, and those policemen instantly woke up from their memories, and looked up, there was a person wearing an ancient official uniform, with a black sand on his head sitting on a wide chair, a wooden cylinder on the left side of the table was full of order signs, and a piece of shocking wood on the right hand stood out, and a large plaque on the top of his head, with four big characters on it: Mirror hanging.

Standing next to a group of ancient officials holding water and fire sticks, wearing official uniforms, although not good-looking, but in this environment is also extraordinary, the memory just now made these policemen resentful, but under this strong visual impact, the resentment in their hearts was suppressed.

"What am I guilty of?" All the reluctance turned into a rebuttal, and all the resentment was vented almost simultaneously in this rhetorical question, and they stared at the crowd in front of them with anger in their eyes together with the farmer.

"Bold! Zhang, whose ancestral home is X Village, X County, had a quarrel with his wife Zhang today, and he killed people in anger. The man in the hall fell again, and looked at the farmer with a look of amusement.

"I'm not convinced!" The farmer struggled, and this phrase spoke everyone's mind.

"Okay, let's pass on the witness."

The official of the hall sneered, and the official had already brought the person up, and the farmer looked back, and the person who came turned out to be his neighbor and the bully who had killed his wife, and the bully walked up to the lobby and saluted the official in the hall, and everyone clearly saw the eye contact between the bully and the official, they were not real farmers, so they naturally knew what was going on, it must have been the bully who bribed the official, and the farmer's neighbor was also threatened by them to buy the evidence of falsely accusing the farmer.

Sure enough, the farmer's neighbor's words were very different from the previous words, and the previous words with the farmer can be said to be a world of difference, the protagonist of the story became the farmer, the farmer suddenly had a quarrel with his wife in the morning, and in a fit of rage, he directly killed his wife, and then dealt with the situation at home, made the image of being broken into by outsiders, and then held a firewood knife and prepared to blame others for the incident.

The policemen were very angry when they saw this, they should have watched all this from the perspective of a bystander, but they didn't know if it was because of that memory, or for some other reason, at this time they actually had a feeling that they were farmers, and when they saw the neighbor slandering themselves, they wanted to rush over and kill him, and the bully next to him was even more eager to eat his flesh raw.

But the farmer is alone, at this time there is no evidence to prove his innocence, the bully colluded with the officials, the only witness turned against under coercion and temptation, the farmer now has a hundred mouths can not be clear, the final verdict fell, the farmer was sentenced to kill tomorrow at noon and beheaded at the street entrance of the vegetable market, when he was dragged down, looking at the expressions of several people in the hall, the unwillingness in his heart, the grief and indignation in his heart, it was even more indescribable.

When the beheading was asked, the farmer knelt on the guillotine and scolded, scolding the injustice of the sky, scolding the unreasonableness of the world, scolding the corrupt officials, scolding the villain ancestors, scolding the hearts of the people in this world, some people discussed, some people ignored it, but under the official's order, the executioner's big sword was raised high and fell in an instant.

Just when the people attached to the farmer thought that everything was about to end, the picture stopped instantly, and a voice recalled in their ears: "Do you want to use the law to protect the fairness of this world?" ”

All of them roared and answered almost at the same time, and they uttered the same answer: "I think!" ”

"Good!"

The voice sounded again, and in an instant the scene in front of them changed, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already seated in the chairs in the lobby. They became the official who sat in the lobby to hear the case, and kneeling in the hall was the farmer who had just been murdered by his new wife and had been imprisoned, and the farmer's resentful eyes were staring at him as if he were the one who had killed his wife, and standing next to the farmer was the bully who had done all this, and the farmer's neighbor, all of whom grabbed the tree almost at the same time, ready to smash it directly in the bully's face.

But the moment the startled wood was raised, a new memory appeared in their minds.

This official was the only son in the family, in order to seek fame, he was only on the scientific examination, but he repeatedly failed, almost spent all the family's savings, and had the intention to give up, but his wife and children and mother at home asked him to insist on taking the exam again, this time, he lived up to his family's expectations and passed the exam in one fell swoop, but there was no one in the family, and he had no background backer, so he could only be assigned to this remote place and become the head of a county.

Although he is the chief official, but the local squire is strong and strong, he can't manage much as the chief official, in the past, there were only books and scriptures, and he naturally wanted to do something after becoming a county official, at least to protect the stability of the people on one side is worthy of going through this experience, but the world makes people, after really becoming a county official, he knows that it is not easy, the squire has a wide range of connections, and the people of the yamen have already been bought by the other party, how difficult is it for him to uphold justice?

Although he was unwilling, he finally made concessions, and turned a blind eye to many things, which was in exchange for some support, he didn't know about the bully, but the bully's family was extraordinary, even if he was the head of a county, it was helpless.

Although he became a county official and exchanged some support with those squires in the form of transactions, he did not receive gifts, and some cases could still be handled impartially, but his county official's income was indeed not high, and the family spent a lot of money for the old and young, and although his wife exchanged some wealth for weaving, she was still poor. Five days ago, the old mother of the family was sick, the medicine stone is quite expensive, although there are ways to find many doctors, but the family's financial resources are difficult to support, seeing the old mother's health is deteriorating, the heart is even more unbearable.

During this period of time, the old and young in the family have been in sorrow, he is also a son of man, seeing this, he secretly hates himself for being incompetent, but at noon today, the bully under the hall brought people to the door with money, and even proposed to bear all the wealth and silk needed for the treatment of the old mother at home, and told the matter roughly, the county official was also angry at the time, but the bully had no scruples, after calming down, he knew that he could not treat this bully how, thinking about the old mother at home who was seriously ill, after all, he agreed, and the county official was also a simple person, Since the matter has been decided, the bad guys will do it to the end, so there is this scene in the hall today.

A group of policemen were originally annoyed by this county official, but when they learned of his situation, they were a little less angry, and they looked at the farmers in the hall with a lot of struggle in their eyes, and the hand holding the frightened wood was raised in the air, and it was not falling down, and everyone fell into a struggle for a while.

If the shocking wood falls, the farmer is guilty, and the farmer will die unjustly, although his mother can live, but how can this conscience get by?

Confused, struggling, time stopped for this second, and everyone kept wandering in the whirlpool of struggle.

If you help the bully, you have a favor, and with the help of the power of the bully's family, you will become the backer of the squire and the rich, and from then on, the family will be well-off, and the promotion and fortune will be just around the corner, but the conscience will not be at ease. If you help the farmer, the old mother will die, although her conscience is safe, she can't fulfill her filial piety under her knees, and it will be even more difficult to go on the official road after this time.

This is the question that the fierce one gave them – if you were in charge of the Fa Principles, what would you choose.

Is it legal or human? Is it a future or a conscience?

Although the protagonists of this choice are these policemen, it is also a fierce choice, asking whether the legal principles in this world are important, or this private relationship is important, whether this fairness is important, or this future is important, this question is a torture of people's hearts, and it is a torture of the beliefs of these policemen.

At this time, there was no longer the look of laughing with Lin Mo just now, it was all solemn, he was waiting, waiting for these people's final choice.
