Chapter 144: Judgment

The courtroom was already full.

In this environment where entertainment resources are absolutely scarce, the court day may be the day that everyone is most looking forward to. In the early and late months of each month, there will be a full day to deal with these things, everything from killing people to trivial things. It's like a live entertainment show that is watched twice a month, and everyone loves to watch it.

Rosie pushed open the side door and took a look, and walked to the edge of the first row in a few steps, Hano took out three gold coins from his pocket and patted the shoulders of the outermost two people, "Buy your place." ”

During this time, Hano's IQ has improved dramatically, which is really gratifying. Before that, he would definitely not take out three gold coins to buy a position, it could be two, or silver coins.

Although there is no allusion to the killing of two peaches and three soldiers in this world, there are almost similar fables.

Two young people who ran over early in the morning to grab a good position, you look at me, I look at you, they don't know each other, and there is no contradiction, but there is a kind of hostility in their eyes. If Hano only gave two gold coins, one for each person, maybe someone wouldn't want to get out of the way. It may be that arrogant self-esteem can't accept such a thing, because no matter how you look at it, it's an insult in disguise. You're rich, great, can you tell us to get out of the way if you have money?

But three gold coins are different, who takes two gold coins, who takes one gold coin? The contradiction is born and imposed on these two people in an instant, and this contradiction is still irreconcilable, let alone divided. A gold coin can be exchanged for about 120 silver coins in such a city, and more than 15,000 copper. An adult's monthly salary is about forty or fifty silver coins, and two gold coins are equal to the salary that can only be earned in half a year.

Contradictions and conflicts are the source of motivation to force them to leave, and the hatred of being forced out of their seats by money will also be applied to each other, not to Rossi and Hano.

The two of them reached out at the same time to grab the gold coin in Hano's hand, but Hano retracted his hand, "Get out of the way first." ”

The two young men stood up at the same time, and the process of standing up was already filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the shoulders of the two bumped into each other, you don't let me, I won't let you.

Rosie nodded with satisfaction, took off her gloves and swept the non-existent dust on the seat, sat down directly, and lifted Erlang's legs. Hano, however, led the two out of the courtroom and placed three gold coins on the ground, "You divide the money, it's none of my business!"

Holding his hands up, he showed his innocence and no ill will, took two steps back, and then turned and re-entered the courtroom. The two young men grabbed the three gold coins at the same time, and did not say how to divide them.

These are three gold coins, and if they can get it, won't they get half a year's salary? Why should they share it with others?

The greedy desire was magnified in an instant, and it only took a few steps from getting more gold coins than the other party to thinking about swallowing these three gold coins alone. The two young men scuffled together for the three gold coins, but they forgot that two minutes ago, they were still sitting in the courtroom, happily exchanging views on each other's cases and verdicts, and even had the slightest possibility of becoming friends.

And at this moment, he has to turn his face for the gold coin.

Rosie sat alone in the position of two people, he did not have the slightest abnormality, Hano stood beside him, and Hano also understood his position. When Rosie sits, he can only stand, which is what a faithful lackey should do, not to think of sitting with his master.

A case of dust-picking is being heard in court, where the husband works outside the home all year round and the wife is home alone with the children. This time, after the husband came back from going out for seven months, he found out that his wife was pregnant, so he sued his wife to the court and found that she had committed adultery. Through the examination, it was found that the adulterer was the husband's son and the wife's father-in-law.

It's quite unusual to say that this matter is unusual, at least not often, and even if there are many people, they will swallow their anger and will not go to court. But if you really want to say how strange it is, it's not necessarily true. In the more remote countryside, this kind of thing is commonplace.

This kind of case is also the most difficult to try, why do you say that, because it is not easy to judge. The conviction of the father-in-law is extremely evil, and the husband may not be able to accept it, no matter what, it is his own Lao Tzu after all, in this society where women have no status, Lao Tzu is obviously more important than his wife. But if the wife is sentenced to let go of the father-in-law, the common people may not be able to accept it, after all, the man is the stronger party, why should the punishment be imposed on the weak woman?

It is often that each of them plays fifty boards, sends them home and lets them deal with it behind closed doors, or judges divorce, of course, there are wives who remarry their fathers-in-law, and there are husbands and fathers-in-law who turn against each other, anyway, there are all kinds of strange situations.

The chief justice sentenced them to two prison terms, three months for the father-in-law and two months for the wife, and then sent them away.

The prosecutor stood up on the front foot and read out the next case.

After adjudicating several trivial cases in a row, it was finally Komodo's turn.

Komodo was escorted to court, and a woman sitting not far from Rossi began to cry, and Rossi followed the cry as a haggard man comforted a heartbroken woman with their child sitting next to her. Their children didn't look sad, but instead had an expression of hatred, probably feeling that Komodo had embarrassed them.

The prosecutor first read the indictment, then presented physical evidence and summoned witnesses. There are no twists and turns in this kind of case, no one wants to stand up for these gang members, and they all want them to die for the best. The lawyer hired was not of a very high standard, of course, there was nothing to defend in this case, the human and material evidence was complete, the motive for the crime and the confession were consistent, although the client claimed that he was not the first offender, but it could not affect the final result.

Komodo was sentenced to death by hanging, and three others were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to seven years.

Komodo's mother fainted on the spot, and the elder Donde entrusted his wife to the child and walked towards the back of the courtroom alone.

There are also some formalities to be done, such as the cost of collecting the body, confirming and signing the verdict, sending the child some good food, and spending money to clear all aspects of the sheriff.

Don't think that you can wait to be collected after being hanged, in the Tuhrman Empire, there was usually a three-day mortuary period after hanging, which was to warn those who were committing crimes and those who were planning to commit them, so that they could understand the harshness of the law. It would be different if the money was paid, and the sheriff would take into account the feelings of the relatives of the condemned prisoner and allow them to immediately collect the body and bury it. In addition, they also had to bribe the executor of the hanging, and if they did not pay the money, they would tie the condemned prisoner with a falling object that was not too heavy, and the prisoner who was hanged would not die immediately, but could only suffocate slowly.

Hanging is not hanging, but tying the legs with a heavy object, and at the moment of pulling the horizontal plank, the heavy object is used to tear off the prisoner's neck, so that the prisoner dies immediately and will not suffer a crime.

But suffocation is different, the kind of slow waiting for death to come and the pain caused by suffocation will make many people**.

Rosie also stood up and followed Old Donde into the office area at the back of the courtroom.

"No access here, sir. Seeing the clothes that Rossi was wearing, the bailiff symbolically stopped him.

Before Rosie could speak, Hano slapped the man in the face, "Keep your dog's eyes wide open, you dare to stop Master Rosie, are you impatient?"

The bailiff was slapped in the face, and without imaginary resistance, he quickly glanced at the button on Rossi's collar, and stepped aside in humiliation.

That's a nobleman, even if he is killed, he can settle it with some money, and there is no need to offend people for the sake of public affairs.
