Chapter 285, the trial
Ning Caichen's carriage entered the Peach Blossom Nunnery and did not stop, but went directly to the Fawang City.
There are newly built official offices in the city, but the word "Houtu" is enshrined on the large plaque hanging high in the mirror. In other words, this is the official office directly under Hou Tu Niangniang, and the official office is all owned by the government, and any ghost can be tried.
Similarly, in this official office, in addition to Ning Caichen, a genuine yin official, there are both civil and military judgments, day and night wandering gods, gongsi gongcao, etc., which should be temporarily absent, even the yazi yin soldiers are also drawn from the city god of Hangzhou.
One is that Ning Caichen is reluctant to make merit, and the official appointment here does not need Yin Si merit at all, because here Hou Tu Niang Niang is counted. Now that Niangniang is gone, everything is dominated by him.
But that's why he can't be careless. Whether this first Houtu city can be completed depends on his operation.
And the existing people under him obviously have no suitable candidates.
There was no manpower, everything was simple, and I directly caught the spider spirit and did the copywriting work.
"My lord, there are ghosts from outside into the city. ”
"Oh?" Ning Caichen didn't expect a yin spirit to follow, and he didn't all go back. "Okay, escort them over and try their case first. ”
Sending Yin soldiers and escorting them in, Ning Caichen began to try the case. It was a woman who was the first to judge.
I saw him slap his face in surprise and asked, "Who is in the court, what are your grievances?" and submit the complaint. "This is a real trial, without the assistance of the Yin Si system, and there is no day and night wandering spirit, Gong Si Gong Cao, want to calculate the merits? Let's ask about the case first!
Kneeling in the hall was a woman in her thirties, dressed as a poor family, crying: "The grass people Liu family, who don't know how to write and ink, don't have... And no... complained, the younger brother was wronged, and implored the eldest lord to be the master of the people's wife. ”
If ordinary people want to file a lawsuit, they must first submit a complaint, which is what the official calls a "complaint", which is quite similar to today's indictment. This pleading, with both the cause of action and the facts clear, the penmanship is sophisticated, and it strictly follows the legal format of the pleadings, and it is very likely that it was written by the "scrivener" who holds a license issued by the government, and the lawyer can also write it on his behalf.
When Ning Caichen heard that there was no complaint, he couldn't help frowning, although this person was dead, his habits were still there, so couldn't he find a literate writer who could write and write? Without the cause of action and facts, this case would be even more difficult to try.
Liu's brows tightened when he saw the priest in the hall, crawled on the ground and banged his head, crying: "Master, wronged... Treat unjustly... Wronged!" She also knew that this complaint needed a petition, but she didn't expect that the underworld would also need it.
Seeing that she was so miserable, she would sue even if she died, perhaps because she was moved by compassion, Ning Caichen asked: "Well, who are you defending and who are you accusing?" Without any assistance, this is his complete autonomy in trying the case.
After Liu thanked Ning Caichen, he said miserably: "Thank you, my lord, my brother Wan Dagou was wronged, he definitely didn't desert, please see it." ”
Conscription, unpaid labor that ancient Chinese rulers forced civilians to perform. Including forced labor, miscellaneous service, military service, etc. In ancient times, all labor activities carried out by the state to engage in labor activities carried out by people of all strata without compensation were called forced labor, including forced labor and military service. It is yet another heavy burden imposed on the people by the State. The origin is very early, and there are regulations on the conscription and conscription of the Zhou Dynasty in the "Book of Rites and the Imperial System". "Mencius" has a record of "the conquest of forced labor". Qin and Han had more soldiers, regular soldiers, and soldiers. In the following dynasties, there were many names of conscription, and the methods were harsh, and the people were brutally oppressed.
In the Song Dynasty, the burden of conscription was still very heavy, and there were forms such as recruitment, assistant service (subsidizing those who should serve in service), and volunteer service (buying land for service). At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the forced labor was reduced, but after the middle period, the service increased, and a large number of households fled.
The conscription lawsuit is a lawsuit that all officials are unwilling to take on, especially a woman like Liu, who is not able to write and ink. ...,
Due to the large number of names and heavy burdens of conscription in ancient times, especially during the reign of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji pursued a luxurious life excessively, and during his reign, he reused Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu, Yang Jian and other traitorous ministers to preside over the government, and wantonly looted the people's wealth, and was extremely poor and extravagant, and extravagant. Establish an item creation bureau for the exclusive enjoyment of the royal family. And scavenging for exotic flowers and stones, transported to Kaifeng by ship, you are the flower stone class.
Every time he does the same, under the joint hands of the whole family, the burden on the households will be increased tenfold.
"What's going on? "The case of forced labor is difficult to have a result after the trial, unless he has the ability to bring Zhao Ji to justice.
However, the Son of Heaven is fateful. How can this be judged by his small city god? No matter how incompetent he is, he is also the emperor of the people.
The case of Liu's younger brother Wan Dagou is not complicated, that is, his younger brother went to serve in the military, but the government sent the same conscription.
At that time, it was she Wan Cuihua who personally sent her younger brother away, how could she forget.
"Originally, this military service was the people's women's uniform, but the people's women had just gotten married, and the younger brother took pity on his sister, so he went on behalf of the people's wife. In the first year, my brother also wrote a letter. "She cried very sadly.
Although the husband is good, his younger brother is also a close relative.
But they actually said that the younger brother had escaped military service, and he had captured the people's wife. The women had no way out, and this year, the women's Hun family also died on the territory. The women heard that there was a judge in the Yin Division, and the duke was selfless. As soon as the woman endured it, she searched for a short time. I want to come to this yin to sue. The sun can't sue you, and the women of the underworld must also sue. ”
Her case is embarrassing.
It's not that Yang Shi has no hope, how could she choose such a path of complaining.
What yin god does not care about the yang world, and what kind of servitude is the law of the state...... Ning Caichen couldn't say it at all. "Then do you know where your brother and husband are serving?"
Liu shook his head: "The women don't know. ”
"Then who is their commander?" Ning Caichen thought of a way and asked again.
She shook her head again.
Ning Caichen was a little disappointed, I don't know how he will interrogate this question.
Liu Shi thought for a moment and said, "My lord, aren't you a god?
She actually hit the idea on this, Ning Caichen was angry and funny. But thinking that she would choose Yin Silu, such a way to sue can't blame her.
But this is just the grass building team of the Houtu official office. How can he count?
If he knows the name and surname, he can also pay merit to find it across the border from the book of life and death, but he doesn't even have a name and surname, and he doesn't know about other books of life and death, but he really can't do it.
Just when Ning Caichen was in a dilemma, suddenly a voice came from outside the official office: "Sister, is it Sister?"
A dead warrior struggled inside.
"Don't let him in, the evil energy on his body will wash away the yin spirit. Ning Caichen was shocked.
The Yin soldiers also struggled to block it.
At that time, they all experienced the siege of Chenghuang City. This ordinary Yin Soul would be swept away by the evil spirit, which they had seen with their own eyes. Naturally, it won't let him disperse the Yin Spirit.
The other Yin Spirits on one side were all frightened and huddled together, the evil aura on this warrior's body, they were naturally afraid, and they knew that it would not be good for them.
The warrior ghost knew that he would harm his sister by rushing forward, so he stopped rushing forward and said to Ning Cai: "Adult, the small one is ten thousand dogs." ”
"Big dog, you are really a big dog!" Liu recognized her brother, but she couldn't get together when she saw each other in the underworld, and she cried for it.
Ning Caichen gave out a little divine power. "Let's go, let's get together!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Ning Caichen waved his hand.
At this time, "My lord, the person who committed Xu Hai brought." ”
Okay, okay! It's just right! With the appearance of Wan Da Dog, Ning Caichen no longer needs to ask what is going on. ...,
Because everything is clear. This Xu Hai covered up his defeat with a piece of paper and turned defeat into victory, but although he deceived the official military department with a clever pen, he did not have the ability to rejuvenate and resurrect the dead.
People can't be resurrected after death, but in the Great Song Dynasty, a big country, three-legged toads are not easy to find, and two-legged people are all over the ground. As long as he waved a big pen, it was enough to say that these people did not serve in conscription, and he could easily fill the vacancy, but if he made up for it like this, he would not only harm the soldiers, but also harm more people and families at once.
Originally, the conscription of the Zong Dynasty was very heavy, and you doubled it, and you didn't let people live?
And the addition is still death service. This is a living person, not just a leek, which can be cut stubble after stubble.
"Come, bring him up. Ning Caichen slapped the stunned wood angrily.
"Might-Force-"
A handsome-looking civil official was pushed in, with no feet on his feet and bare feet, apparently Wang Xiao did it on purpose. He was wearing only a white underwear. Without an official uniform, his official spirit has weakened a lot.
When he entered the lobby, he glared angrily and said, "Who are you?
There was a trace of grandeur mixed in the aura of a majestic superior, and he even had humane merits. However, as long as it is human, it will be more or less humane, and it is not surprising that there is such a heroic atmosphere. What made Ning Caichen's face look bad was that this Haoran Qi even helped him bring out the Yang Shiguan Qi, so that as long as he didn't die, there was almost no way to judge him.
Ning Caichen knew that this was Daozu for the sake of the world and for the good of the human race, but Daozu was too indiscriminate in doing things and restricted the gods and Buddhas, so who would restrain the Yang people from being evil?
"Bold!" Ning Caichen slapped the wood again.
"Might-Force-"
"You prisoner don't even look at what kind of place this is, and you can also be wild in the Yin Division!" Ning Caichen reprimanded.
"Yin Si, this official is dead, no, this official is invigilating, no, how can this official die!" he didn't believe he was dead.
He is not dead, but Ning Caichen doesn't explain, how can he know. didn't explain to him at all, and directly began to try the case: "Who is kneeling in the hall?"
He didn't kneel when he came in, as soon as Ning Caichen spoke, Wang Xiaoyi's chain hit his back knee, his legs hurt, and he knelt down unconsciously.
His official spirit naturally fought back, but in the face of Ning Caichen's famous seal that even the emperor scolded, what role did the little officialdom play. As for Haoran's qi, it is just a remnant, and it is okay for ordinary ghosts, but for Ning Caichen, it is his luck that he didn't take it on the spot.
