Chapter 0272 - Case Judgment
The next day, Shi Min came to the public hall of Dali Temple again and summoned those prisoners who had violated the law but might have been unjustly convicted.
The prisoners interrogated by Shi Min were different, almost all of them were felons and convicts, and for a while, it was difficult for the people of the Tingwei Mansion to make a decision, so they could only play Shi Min and make a decision by Shi Min himself.
Shi Min only emphasized one sentence in this regard, the law is not merciful!
Shi Min's iron-faced selflessness is obvious to all, and many people in the Tingwei Mansion dare not make a decision, and Shi Min solves them one by one.
"Li Wufeng, the son of the criminal minister Li Ji, knock on the King of Wei Chitose!"
At this moment, standing under Shi Min Hall is a young man with a heroic face, this young man should be good at martial arts, with calluses on his hands, a burly figure, and an aura when he speaks.
However, although Shi Min admires people like Li Wufeng, it does not mean that he will be extrajudicial and pardon his father.
Shi Min looked through the file on Li Ji again.
According to the dossier, Li Ji, a Huang native of Wei County, was forty-three years old and filial piety at the age of twenty, and successively served as the county magistrate of Dongping County, the county magistrate of Dayuan County, the county guard of Xiangguo County, and the commander of the capital.
During his tenure in office, Li Ji accepted bribes, which were equivalent to 25,400 yuan. According to the law of the country, Li Ji should be sentenced to beheading and confiscating his family property, but what made the officials of the Imperial Court hesitate was that Li Ji's ability was very good, and his political achievements were remarkable, and he had made great efforts to help the victims of the disaster and collect money for the treasury during his tenure.
Moreover, since the Qin and Han dynasties, China has always governed the country with "benevolence and filial piety", so there is a saying that filial piety and honesty are raised.
Especially when the Jin State was established, it advocated the rule of benevolence and filial piety. Originally, before the Jin Dynasty, everyone advocated "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, Benevolence, Righteousness, Etiquette, Wisdom and Faith", and the word loyalty was placed at the forefront.
Now, some people who have received help from Li Ji and those who have received Li Ji's favors have come to the court to intercede, asking for extrajudicial mercy and forgiveness of Li Ji's life. New Bayi m.x81zw
There is also Li Ji's son Li Wufeng who came to intercede, asking for a life for a life.
Shi Min frowned and said, "Li Wufeng, are you sure you want to exchange your life for the life of your biological father Li Ji?" β
"Yes." Li Wufeng knelt on the ground, gave Shi Min a fist salute, and then said word by word, sonorously and powerfully, "King, the grass people have been influenced by their father since childhood, and they want to be a good official who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and works for the welfare of the people. The grass people believe in their father's unswerving determination, but the officialdom is dirty, how can the father get out of the mud without being stained, and the ripples without being demonic? β
"The Great King's Judgment. My father was guilty of embezzlement and bribery, and he should have been put to death. But please remember that my father has worked hard and made outstanding achievements over the years, and I also ask the king to be merciful and allow the grass people to exchange their lives for one life! β
After saying that, Li Wufeng kowtowed and begged bitterly.
When Shi Min heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Li Wufeng, few people know your filial piety and can understand your filial piety. But the law is not merciful, if the widow opens such an opening for you today, then the law of the country does not exist, and the future criminals will be like you, asking for the father's life, where is the law of the country? Where is the prestige of the state? β
"King! ......" Li Wufeng knew that what Shi Min said was right, but he still couldn't help but burst into tears, kowtowing vigorously, and red blood stains were oozing on his forehead.
Shi Min sighed and said, "Come on, bring Li Ji up!" β
Shi Min is not a hard-hearted person, and plans to give Li Ji's father and son another chance.
Not long after, Li Ji, who was wearing a prison uniform, was taken to the hall although he was very lonely but still upright, and after kneeling down for Shi Min, he glanced at Li Wufeng beside him again, his eyes were full of pathos, helplessness, and the last trace of comfort.
"Smack!"
Shi Min patted Xingmu and said solemnly: "Li Ji, are you guilty?" β
"The king, the minister is guilty!"
"Since you know that you are guilty, why don't you confess your guilt?"
"The sinner is willing to surrender to the law!"
Hearing this, Shi Min shook his head and said, "You are willing to bow to the law, but your son Li Wufeng is reluctant." Now Li Wufeng is willing to exchange his life for a life, and exchange his life for a way out for you! Would you like to? β
"The king, the sinners are unwilling!" γ‘ζ°γ€(8)1 Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο8.1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
"Father!"
"Shut up!"
Li Ji glared at Li Wufeng, and said angrily: "Feng'er, you don't want to rap here!" The king has every opportunity, and now he has to come over to judge the case for such idle matters, you are misleading the country and the people! If you still recognize me as a father, leave here and take good care of your mother and brother for me, otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a son! β
"Father! I can't bear to see you like this! ......" said that, Li Wufeng began to cry.
It's really a man who doesn't flick with tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place!
Shi Min looked at Li Ji, and then at Li Wufeng, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
This case is really not easy to decide!
Li Ji embezzled more than 20,000 yuan in office, and for this alone, Shi Min sentenced him to behead all the door. But Li Ji is not the kind of corrupt official who preys on the people, on the contrary, he is a good official, a good official who is very popular with the people, otherwise after he was arrested and imprisoned in the east window, many people would not have gone to the Tingwei Mansion to petition.
No one will give Shi Min a book of ten thousand people.
Li Ji is not a corrupt official, but a clean official, because all the money he has embezzled over the years has been used to help the victims!
This is what makes Shi Min and the judges entangled.
Killing Li Ji is a big loss for the imperial court, and Li Ji is so popular with the people, thinking about this move will also make many people feel cold. What's more, now Li Ji's son Li Wufeng has put forward a request for his father's death, which is really tricky!
In order to try these unsolved cases, Shi Min was the presiding judge, and the juries were Cui Hao and Xun Ji, Shi Min felt that things were a little tricky, so he couldn't help but set his eyes on the two jurors.
Xun Ji pondered for a while, then got up and said, "King, the minister has a message. β
"Please."
"Since the Jin Dynasty, our Huaxia is to govern the country with 'benevolence and filial piety', and Li Wufeng's filial piety has moved the heavens and the earth. In addition, although Li Ji had embezzled and accepted bribes in office, his bad deeds were full of bad deeds, and although his merits and demerits could not be offset, the money and property embezzled by Li Ji did not actually enter his money bag, and they were all used to help the poor people. Yes, the minister thinks that it is not impossible to let Li Wufeng die on behalf of his father! As for Li Ji, you can confiscate the family property and distribute it to the frontier! β
"King!" Li Wufeng couldn't help but shout again, "The king, and all the adults present, my father is weak, how can he endure the suffering of this hairdressing frontier?" Please also ask the king and all the good people to do it to the end, and avoid the punishment of my father's distribution! β
Hearing this, Shi Min, Cui Hao, and Xun Ji couldn't help frowning.
Shi Min slapped Xingmu again, and said angrily: "Li Wufeng, don't be ignorant!" Being able to let your father Li Ji live is already the greatest mercy of the widow and the imperial court! If it weren't for Li Ji's real contribution to the community and the benefit of the people, and the widow thought of your filial piety, how could your father live? β
Li Ji also said: "King, the sinner is willing to die!" β
Shi Min was a little puzzled, but soon, he thought of a compromise.
"Li Ji, Li Wufeng."
"The sinners (grass people) are here!"
"After careful consideration, the widow decided to make the following verdict: Li Ji, confiscated the family property, and exiled to Liaoxi; Li Wufeng, dispatched to fill the army, and guarded the western frontier of Liaoxi! β
"Yes!"
This result is undoubtedly the best.
However, Shi Min's hair fell so lightly, which was a bit unexpected. It seems that Shi Min still fell in love with Li Ji's talent and virtue, but he just confiscated his family property and exiled him to Liaoxi, and he didn't say anything that he would never use!
