Section 1: Cases of Excessive Defense

After bidding farewell to Seryosha at the door of the big car shop, Seriousness hurried to his room, as if Seriousness had left some trace that was about to disappear or that someone else might have discovered it first. He was desperate to find out what important secret information Seryosha had transmitted.

Serious found traces of Seryosha's vigorous carving on the handle of the razor behind the washstand. Not in English, not in Chinese, but in different lengths.

I seriously remember that in the hot summer of his junior year, he saw that his classmates around him were preparing for the graduate school entrance examination one by one, so he followed the crowd and sweated in the classroom without air conditioning to endorse and prepare for the graduate school entrance examination. However, because he does not have a clear career plan, he is only three minutes hot. This feeling of wanting to be admitted to a graduate school in 985 comes and goes. He insisted and gave up, insisted and gave up, this process was repeated several times, and after all, he couldn't resist the "dark coolness" of releasing both mental and physical burdens after giving up the graduate school entrance examination, and finally gave up completely. Then, he also pretended to work hard and took out the book in the classroom, feeling that he was still "in the same group" as those who were admitted to graduate school, and had the feeling that he had not been abandoned by the trend of the times. But the books I read are miscellaneous, and they are purely messy.

Among the books borrowed from the library is a small book on how the "espionage" system works. The book caught him at once, so much so that he was able to recite the Morse code in English from A all the way to Z.

Seryosha carved the Morse code on the handle of his razor. The knowledge of the Morse code was suddenly activated in the serious mind from the distant past. He held the razor, as if he had discovered a new continent, and his heart was secretly happy and proud. If it were someone else, Seryosha's information would have been lost.

On the thin handle of the razor, Seryosha wrote:

“- ——

- —— -

—— ——

- - -

——

- —— -

—— —— ——

—— -

—— —— ”

Translated, it is "a."

mst

o

g". This is the name of Armstrong, a well-known British arms company. In the English newspapers that I have read, I often see its name in the newspapers, and even the address of their office in China and the name of the person in charge of the newspaper.

Seryosha's intentions were very obvious - to suggest that Serious get in touch with Armstrong and buy arms.

Just as Serious cracked Seryosha's code and put the razor in its place, suddenly a person who looked like a Russian soldier outside broke into the serious room without saying hello. In the face of uninvited guests, he seriously and subconsciously avoided looking at the location of the razor, so as to avoid people speculating on the secret hidden place.

The man said in rough Chinese that Seryosha had instructed him to retrieve something he had left in the serious room. I couldn't help but say it seriously, and quickly rummaged through the room. It seems that seriousness does not exist.

Then he saw the serious razor, so he picked it up and looked through it, and muttered something in the innermost part, and saw that he found no substantial evidence—either he thought it was a seriously carved mysterious Oriental symbol, or he didn't know any Morse code at all—in short, it seemed that he was not suspicious of the notch on the razor, and put it back and rummaged for other places.

Seriousness was shocked into a cold sweat. There is no doubt - this must be the spies planted by the Russian army around Seryosha. Seryosha often lingered in the big car shop where he was and drank with him, which in itself was suspicious. Although Seryosha claims that he is a "good citizen" who supports Russia's "Yellow Russia Plan" and has a lot of contacts with him because the two sides can find common ground, it seems that the people above still do not regard Seryosha as their own.

Seryosha was an outlier in the tsarist army. He advocated and often preached God's mercy and mercy, hated war, and regarded the foreigners as if they were his own brothers. These arguments are a grave mistake in the eyes of the bloodthirsty, populist-influenced Russian military officers. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. These officers, who had occupied advantageous positions and enjoyed the prestige of imperial officers in the web of relations woven by military merit and personal dependence, naturally used military merit as a credential to please the Tsar. Naturally, they will not have compassion for the Chinese as aliens. They are also ruthless when it comes to the alternatives in their own team.

Seeing that he couldn't find any evidence, he rudely gave a threatening look to Serious, which meant that he didn't catch you this time, don't have a next time, and he will definitely not spare you next time. Then he shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his hands, made a gesture of regret, and left the serious room.

Without further ado, since Seryosha has been targeted, it means that the other side has long begun to suspect him, then the serious side should also put the purchase of arms on the agenda as soon as possible.

But how to convince the Guixian Ling and Heilongjiang General Shoushan? He had two hurdles that he could hardly get over - one was necessity, the Russian soldiers had robbed property, but it had not yet reached the point of killing people and setting fires, and who would have believed that in July 1900 they would drive thousands of Jiangdong residents into the river and spill to their deaths? Second, even if it is necessary to purchase arms, where does this expensive military expenditure come from?

When he seriously proposed to the Turtle County Commander to purchase arms, the Turtle County Commander was stunned.

"According to the Treaty of Aihui, Jiangdong is essentially a place jointly administered by both China and Russia, and it is not without basis for the Russian army to harass residents and forcibly pay taxes. And, for now, there is nothing particularly bad about the Russian army. Is it unnecessary to buy arms? ”

Seriously expected that the Turtle County Order had this doubt, and replied:

"The Turtle County Order may not know something. By July 1900, the Russian army would go to Jiangdong to kill, injure and loot the residents of Jiangdong and cause massacres. ”

Guixian Ling looked serious at this time, like a fortune teller who predicted the tragedy that Jiangdong would suffer, and looked suspicious:

"Sir, this joke is not open. There is no one in this world who will not know the prophet, could it be that Mr. Yan has learned to tell divination before? After saying that, he laughed embarrassedly.

In his serious heart, he had prepared thousands of words to persuade the turtle county order, but he had long forgotten it at this time. Forced by the situation, when it comes to this, seriousness is only a "fatal blow".

We can say that "the authorities are confused", and it is better to say that the authorities are not as good as this, but the authorities often have cognitive limitations and emotional implications. It was because of his serious and anxious need to state his urgent need to buy arms from the Guixian Commander that he sometimes behaved incoherently.

Most of those who take the trouble to think about how to phrase and form sentences before the conversation should be people of low status or who want to be persuaded by others; Those who are welcomed are always more tired than those who are welcomed.

However, given the relationship between Zheng Zheng and Guixian Ling, the conversation between them was relatively relaxed and without too many scruples.

"I am not a fortune teller of the unpredictable prophet, but I have traveled from the future to the present, I know that there was a massacre in 1900, and I also know that in more than ten years, the Qing Dynasty will be replaced by a 'Republic of China government' in 1911."

The more he said it, the more mysterious it became, he didn't know if it was his own brain problem or a serious brain, in short, there must be a problem with the brain of one of the two of them.

"The words of the gentleman are deafening, and I have never heard of them."

Serious doesn't know if his strategy is too rash or if it has worked as expected.

"General Shoushan committed suicide due to defeat, but if we act now, it is unknown how history will be changed."

"So, I have to listen to you today?"

"Seriousness can be seen from the sun and the moon, when did you see a contemptible person do something insincere and unbelieving?"

The serious mood was very urgent, and he begged and begged the Turtle County Order to agree to his request.

"I have long seen that Mr. is not like a person in this world, and Mr.'s insight and ability are indeed like people from the future."

"Since the Guixian Commander does not suspect me, please immediately start the purchase of arms, without further ado, the Russian army will also have a nuisance in the near future, and then we can not be afraid of their harassment and ensure the peace of the people in Jiangdong."

It takes a great deal of courage and faith to believe what cannot be believed. If it were any other person, Serious would definitely be treated as a neurological patient, ridiculed and neglected. The trust of the Turtle County Order in seriousness deserves a great commendation.

"But, we two poor sticks, it is not feasible to buy arms. I still have to report this to General Shoushan. ”

He dealt with two more criminal cases before he seriously left for the office of the Southern Armstrong Arms Company to deal with the purchase of arms. Unlike his previous case, as an official in charge of the Criminal Division, he encountered an ethical issue that was difficult to choose.

A gambler owes a lot of debts outside, and there are many enemies. On this day, he died suddenly, and according to the investigation of the pretend, he should have been injured by a wooden stick in front of his house, and then fell from a height and died.

This seems to be a case that can be solved at a glance - nine times out of ten, it was killed by a debt collector. On the wall outside the second-floor house he rented, the words "repay debts" were newly sprayed with pig blood. This is enough to corroborate.

In order to investigate the scene and investigate the case, Serious came to the gambler's house. The gambler has a wife and a son, and the son is more than ten years old, who is already an adult, and he also looks like Kong Wu is powerful. The rented room was on the second floor of a small two-story building built by a wealthy merchant who was in business. The words "debt repayment" on the outside wall are still fresh and legible, and they should have been sprayed with pig's blood not long ago.

However, there is no sad look on the face of the gambler's wife, and her eyes seem to reveal a creepy calmness and cruelty. And her son's eyes were evasive, as if there was something secret.

Although their home is not described as a family with four walls, it is enough to make people feel pity in their hearts. There were no valuable furnishings in the whole room, and the clothes of the gambler's wife and her children were patched and patched, and not a single silk dress was seen. The cups on the bed are not covered with silk cloth, but with ordinary cotton. It can be seen that the master's craftsmanship is very superb, whether it is the patch on the clothes or the quilt surface sewn, it is very fitting and porcelain. The gambler should have caused a big hole in the family's finances, which is why his family lived such a depressed life.

Seriously finding that the gambler's wife, when answering his questioning, always lifted the collar of her neck, as if to cover this part from being seen, she asked:

"Is it the debt collector who has done you any harm?"

The gambler's wife replied:

"No, no." There was still that astonishing calmness in her tone.

"Then you put your collar down and let me see."

The gambler's wife was helpless and gave a serious look. This is a scar in the shape of a "well". It should be a scar that heals after scratching with your hand.

"Please be honest, did the debt collector do it?"

"No, there have been a lot of mosquitoes recently, and I scratched it myself."

Serious didn't believe what she said.

"If it's a mosquito bite, how can there be so many scars?"

The gambler's wife did not answer.

After surveying the house, he found several stout wooden sticks leaning behind the door.

"What are you doing with so many sticks?"

The gambler's wife replied:

"We were afraid that debt collectors would come to our door, so we prepared a few wooden sticks."

Serious or not convinced.

"How can you, a woman and a child, beat up a debt collector?"

The gambler's wife was speechless again.

Seriously decided to take the stick back to the yamen and leave the gambler's house. At this time, he found that the gambler's wife was a little lame in her legs and feet when she sent them away, so he asked her:

"Did you also injure your leg from a debt collector?"

The gambler's wife seemed to remember the origin of her injury, her emotions were a little tense, and a few tears flashed in her calm eyes:

"Yes, they came to the door."

Holding in his hand the wooden stick that was believed to be used to hit the gambling stick before his death, Serious said:

"When I go back to the Yamen, I can identify the fingerprints on this wooden stick, and then compare them with the fingerprints of all the people suspected of committing the crime, and when the time comes, everything will fall into place."

At this time, the gambler's wife suddenly broke down emotionally, unable to suppress the sadness in her heart and the fear that her son might be condemned, and cried:

"Master, please call the shots for us, we ...... Not intentionally. ”

solemnly ordered the people around him to leave for the time being, returned to the room with the gambler's wife and her son, closed the door, turned back and whispered to the gambler's wife:

"Tell me the truth, who killed your man."

"Sir, we didn't mean to kill him. He was going to take my life with a knife that day......"

After serious cross-examination, it happened like this - the gambler was collected for his debts because he owed debts outside, and when he returned home, he often violently attacked his wife. That day, because he was drunk, he returned home with a knife to cut the chattering wife, but at this time, the son who had been prepared for a long time knocked him unconscious with a wooden stick. They then carried him out of the door and threw him on the ground from the parapet on the second floor. Of course, the gambler did not die when he was knocked unconscious, but died after falling from the upper floor.

Serious judgment is the same as what happened.

The frightened gambler's wife and her son were repeatedly comforted with the legal principles of "justifiable defense" and "excessive defense", saying that once they pleaded guilty, they would only be sentenced to a few months or a year in prison.

It can be said that serious compassion is overflowing. He wanted to save them.

This is a question of legal ethics that is not found in law textbooks – should the gambler's wife and her children be exempted from the crime, or should they be sentenced to prison as they were convicted? Should you find a random debt collector and place the blame on him and make him bear the punishment of death, or should the gambler's wife and her children bear the punishment? If it is the former, what if this debt collector will change his past mistakes in the future and become a person who is beneficial to society, or even a hero who commands thousands of armies to fight for the country? If it's the latter, what if her child doesn't learn well in the future, becomes a social gangster, or even kills people and robs goods? If it is the former, it is a distortion of justice, and although the latter is carried out in accordance with the law, it may ruin the future of a child who pursues progress and is honest and law-abiding.

Seriously brought back the wooden stick that had stunned the gambling stick back to the yamen. He is going to perform a stunt to the Ya Servant: extracting fingerprints.

Serious likes to read mystery novels, which have some tips for extracting fingerprints easily. He didn't expect that this time could come in handy.

He summoned several officials as witnesses to extract the suspect's fingerprints with some iodine he had brought back from Changchun Shi Hospital.

The reason why he was able to bring back iodine from Shi Hospital was because it was a period when iodine "cured all diseases" in medicine. Diseases that cannot be treated with other drugs can be cured with iodine.

Serious extracted the fingerprints on the wooden stick with a piece of white paper, placed the white paper and iodine in a glass bottle, and heated the glass bottle with fire under the glass bottle. After a while, a relatively clear fingerprint appeared on the white paper.

The officials were amazed.

Then, Seriousness drew the shape of this fingerprint on a blank piece of paper and kept it in the case file.

To save the future of the gambler's wife and children, right now.

A few people who often used coercion to force gamblers to pay their debts were seriously detained, interrogated one by one in court, and let them be fingerprinted.

So serious got their fingerprints.

Now just replace the fingerprints in the file with the fingerprints of any one of the several people who collect the debt, and everything will be fine.

Seriously paced in the hall of the yamen, thinking about this ethical question that had plagued him for a long time. Eventually, he made a decision.

Seriousness went through a process of repeatedly sorting out and speculating on opinions—establishing a point of view—defeating himself—re-arguing the reasonableness of his viewpoint—defeating him again, and finally in a sudden, he understood two truths—first, it is despicable, unreasonable, and unethical to use despicable means for a good purpose. For, if this argument is appropriate, then there will be many people who take advantage of this psychology of the majority to achieve their despicable ends by despicable means. What's more, many people will glorify their despicable intentions into good ones, giving the impression that they are compelled to do so for the sake of popular expectations. Equity does not allow anyone's life or other interests to come at the expense, and everyone and other interests should be treated with the utmost respect. Moreover, if a person is deprived of his life and property by normal means, then they can have the means to prove that it is "justified" to deprive countless people of their lives and property by the most cruel means. As long as they turn on the propaganda machine, no matter how unspeakable the tragedy is, it can be justified or even given unsurpassed "glory" by seemingly "legitimate" motives and purposes. Before World War II, Poland, which had weak German propaganda, would attack a strong Germany, and the former Soviet Union pretended to be German troops and burned the villages of the Soviet people, arousing the anger of the Soviet people against Germany. If the "good people" claim to be as evil as the bad people for the sake of noble goals, so that they can show "thunderous means", we cannot be deceived by them, because they may often be the initiators of all evil.

In the adult world, only "limited" justice can be achieved. Shaking hands with the wicked, and emphasizing that the law protects the good and the wicked equally, are limited compromises. If the truly good and the wicked, like the wicked, regard "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" as their highest code of action, then they seem to be far from the title of the real "good guy" and the expectations of the "good guy". We are fortunate to be living in an era where good people are in the majority or even in the strong. Although the kind of compromise that promised the warlords in the war-torn regions of the world to liberate their people with a good life and large sums of money is still being staged.

It's not that we've lost our courage. We won't win forever, but we'll never give up, and we'll make the blade that hangs over the heads of the wicked sharper and sharper!

Second, the law does not give weight to the value of human life for comparison. No one's life is more noble than another's. The value of the life of a prince and princess cannot be higher than the value of the life of a commoner. The "everyone" in the proverb "everyone is equal before the law" does not distinguish between class and education level, and more importantly, it does not distinguish between "good people" and "bad people", that is, it does not distinguish according to whether the character is upright, and does not remove the "evil people" in the consciousness of ordinary people. A person who does not abide by the law and has bad conduct is the object of legal protection, just like a "good person". Moreover, the right to life is given far more weight than any other type of human right. Therefore, the life of a hooligan of a debt collection agency is not the same as the future of a "good person". Only after the lives of those who misconduct can the lives of those who are of good conduct be safeguarded, and only then can they be more well-founded.

Seriously gave up the idea of falsifying evidence and saving the gambler's wife and children. His idea is not feasible only if the weight of the right to liberty is approximately equal for one year of freedom for the gambler's wife and children.

Seriousness is also aware of the dangers posed by "power".

Ordinary people can't control public opinion, they can't falsify evidence, so they are bound by morality. However, some people in high positions of power can manipulate public opinion, and even manipulate and falsify evidence, so that morality loses its power. Speak of your squirrel as my scum, and say that some are not, and that there are not, and add to the compliment of a band of literati who have been hired to wipe away their bad deeds and to praise their "virtues," and they will be able to do whatever they want like an emperor who has not worn new clothes.

Seriously report his trial opinions to the Gui County Order. The Turtle County Order approved his judgment.

It is the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the bazaar, there are already handfuls of sweet potatoes freshly on the market, and all kinds of mooncakes in the pastry shop are still freshly baked with the steaming heat, brightening the eyes of passers-by. The fiery autumn persimmons are arranged in the shape of a tower on the dustpan of the roadside stall. Some people have already started to set up red lanterns on both sides of the road in the town's park to prepare for the lantern riddle party at night.

In the city of Aihui lived a gentleman and his wife, who were not promoted to a private school, and they had a daughter, who was beautiful, and had reached the age of talking about marriage, and there were many young men who pursued them. It just so happened that this woman went to the south once, and when she came back, she had a new enlightened idea of the West, and she had her own ideas about various customs such as marriage. Mr. Private School is educated, but he is not a person who reads the Four Books and the Five Classics, and he has dabbled in and explored arithmetic, engineering, and economics and other knowledge. He was very disdainful of the old customs of women wrapping their feet, men having long braids, and marrying their parents and concubines, so he was also very sympathetic and supportive of his daughter's bold ideas. On this day, when the moon was full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, several big-character posters written on white paper were posted on the wall at the entrance of Mr. Private School-"Chongyang Flattering Foreigners", "Chinese Studies as the Body, Huaxia as the Sect", "Those who take foreigners as their fathers are not worthy of the temple!" The characters are staggeringly large, and they are written in red letters, as if the writer wants to vent his emotions on a few sheets of paper.

The private school gentleman happened to go out to fetch water and saw it, so he tore off these big-character posters, and he was worried in his heart, not knowing who they had offended and let them suffer from this verbal violence.

Mr. Private's house is divided into three connected houses, one is the main house, where the hall house and the family live, one is the kitchen, and the other is the sheepfold of several sheep. Just after Mr. Private School tore off the big-character poster and returned to the hall, a chaotic fire suddenly appeared in the kitchen, and the thud of kitchen objects falling to the ground and the sound of flames whirring. Due to the distance from the main river of Aihui City, the water source, the villagers could not get water in time, and when the fire was about to affect the connected halls, everyone was anxious and helpless, the "fire prevention team" (similar to the modern town fire department) in Aihui City dispatched troops, carrying long and short equipment, to fetch water from the river that flowed through Aihui City from a distance, and returned to the private school man's home, successfully extinguishing the fire.

Aihui Yamen detained the biggest suspect in the suspected arson case, a young man who pursued the daughter of a private school teacher but could not.

The Aihui Yamen was interrogated shortly after the fire. The Turtle County Commander sat in the main hall, next to several masters and scribes, standing solemnly among them.

Guixian Ling first asked:

"The county has concluded that you have been pursuing Mr. Private School's daughter for a long time and have not been able to succeed, so he set fire to the house with personal anger."

"Since you don't admit that you are the culprit, who do you think could be the arson suspect?"

The young man replied:

"I'm not the only one who pursues Mr. Private School's daughter, you go out to inquire, how many young men in this Aihui City haven't heard of him, and want to beat her up if they don't see her?"

"I'm a normal young man who sees good people and thinks about spring, and I haven't heard of liking a girl and being suspected of arson!"

Serious had already done a lot of work on this case, and at this time, seeing that this young man did not intend to recruit from the truth, he asked:

"And who do you think was responsible for the arson?"

The young man replied:

"I heard that Mr. Private School's family education is not strict, and he admires foreigners, and some people have long seen that they are not angry and want to take revenge. It is said that he is also the son of a man in this county, you can ask, and everyone on this street says so. It is not necessarily impossible for such a person to commit a crime by arson. ”

Asked solemnly:

"What evidence do you have?"

"There is no evidence. You can go into the neighborhood and find out if I am telling the truth. ”

Zheng exchanged glances with Guixian Ling, took out the big-character poster posted at the door of Mr. Private School on the day of the fire, and unfolded it for the young man to take a look:

"This is the poster that was posted at the door that day. We have found that there is only one seller of this kind of white paper in this county, and the shop that sells the paper has confessed, and you and the son of the man who lifted the man have bought this kind of white paper from him. So, you can't rule out suspicion! ”

Serious had long thought that this young man really had some powerful tricks, and he deliberately attracted the attention of the yamen's investigation to the son of a man who was dissatisfied with Mr. Private's family, so as to try to shirk his own responsibility.

Seriously asked again:

"Where were you on the night of the fire (from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.)? What are you doing? ”

The young man replied:

"I'll guess the riddles in the park."

In order to add "authenticity" to his defense, he added fuel and vinegar:

"At this time, I saw the fire prevention squad rushing from the west street to Mr. Private's house with fire extinguishing equipment."

Serious exchanged glances with Guixian Ling again. Seeing that the young man finally showed his feet, the Guixian Commander refuted the young man and said:

"On the day of the fire, the fire prevention squad drew water from the east and then went straight from the street to the fire. Since it is a fire extinguishing, why do you say that the fire prevention squad passes the burning house from the west to the east to draw water? Isn't that the opposite of the case? Knowing that the fire is urgent, why should they look for a farther road? ”

When the young man saw that his mistake was caught by the Turtle County Order, he was asked at that time and couldn't answer a word.

"Also, how did you get the prize for the lantern riddle that night?"

The youth is still trying to argue for himself:

"After everyone guessed the riddle correctly, they went to the prize office afterwards to distribute the prize."

The Turtle County Order severely reprimanded:

"Lie! The lantern riddle meeting of the day is to receive the prize separately after guessing a lantern riddle correctly, and there is no such thing as receiving the prize in one place! ”

Seeing that there was no longer any possibility to hide the matter, the young man had no choice but to confess the fact that he set fire to the fire because of his frustration in love.

The verdict and sentencing opinions were drafted and the verdict was made.

But this time, Serious chose to stand on the side of the youth to a certain extent, because, for such a "normal" young man who was frustrated and took revenge, he did not feel that the youth had much "evil" intention and "evil" deeds, and the fire was extinguished in time.

In other words, he hated him.

A lot of times, we don't hate some of the bad things we do. Because if our hearts are crooked and our hearts are bold, we will do the same thing as they do. When they commit a crime out of "passion", they receive nothing but "emotional" "benefits" as a result of the crime. On the contrary, those who are born to the side of the guts for their own selfish interests, glory, wealth, and evil are even more hateful.

Section 2 "Home is a Castle"

In the northeast of autumn, it seems that the sky is bluer and deeper than the sky in the south, and it seems that it is the season of snow in the blink of an eye. Seriously, the residence in Aihui City is either reading the newspaper or drinking tea and resting. He also misses the autumn in his hometown when he was a child. Now that the autumn pears should be off the market, the sweet potatoes should be on the market, the rice has long been harvested, and perhaps the most comfortable autumn of the year has begun, I seriously and firmly believe that the warmth of the autumn sun shining on the long-sleeved shirt or jacket that I have just changed on my body will exceed the warm and smoky taste brought to him by the warm spring sun. Seeing this beautiful scenery in the north aroused his endless longing for his hometown, and at the same time gave him a fantasy trance feeling of being in a foreign land. This afternoon, he woke up after sleeping and looked at a cat in the yard, and couldn't help but think that cats don't have such a long memory, and probably won't have complicated reasoning and analysis, is it like a person in a dream, believing that everything in the dream is real, but in a trance?

It seemed that when he was bored, on this day, the people in the yamen who were originally with the impersonating British slaves sent people to invite them to a serious banquet, and by the way discussed the matter of banning prostitution establishments.

The Qing Dynasty government banned prostitution, often with a gust of wind after a gust of wind, but often like a thunderstorm suddenly a burst of heavy rain brushed off the ground, as a result of a long time, the ground is not completely wet, the rain will disappear, only a few empty thunder explosions in the sky. However, the government is at the same level, and sometimes the action to ban prostitution can still produce relatively obvious results, and this depends entirely on whether the local government really makes up its mind, and also depends on the personal likes and dislikes and conduct of the local government's superintendents.

One of the more common excuses for not banning prostitution is that once this "industry" is banned, countless people will have no food and clothing, and some wealthy businessmen and others who commit prostitution will inevitably turn the open into the secret, and the open prostitute will become the secret prostitute, and the prohibition will become unstoppable, which will only increase the difficulty of banning.

The mouth grows on people, especially on powerful people who have more power to speak, which makes it difficult to refute them. The wrath of the horseman, the blood spattered five steps, the wrath of the Son of Heaven, the blood flowed and drifted. In a dynasty where the words spoken by powerful people are not challenged, they can often go as far as they want.

Perhaps it is only after people become parents that their values become mature. Breaking down when changing diapers, waking up in the middle of the night to breastfeed and go crazy, and when you reach the age of rebellion, you have to suffer the humiliation of the dignity of "the son is not the son, and the father is not the father". Maybe after people become parents, they realize how ridiculous human beings are. God makes people parents for a reason, because he also wants people to know how bitter and tired he is to raise a group of human beings with no logic and no moral bottom line.

There is a saying in China since ancient times: "All evils and fornication are the first". Lewdness destroys not only the trust of husband and wife, but also corrupts social fairness and justice, sincere trust between people, social development and progress, and all good virtues.

The official sent by the Ying Nu put on a pious and obedient look, and insisted that the solemn invitation to the banquet was to finalize some details of the matter, and that it was purely a matter of business.

Serious is not in the mood to go to the banquet now, on the one hand, because he heard from Baihutang's eyeliner that the Russian army is using guns and artillery as bait to win over Baihutang; On the other hand, I heard that the Russian army harassed Jiangdong several times, but I did not see Seryosha's face. In fact, Seryosha had already been transferred from his superiors to other units, and later the unit he was in was annihilated by the Red Army. This is considered that he escaped a catastrophe. There is also the fact that serious trust in these people is almost zero. There are few things that can shake the interests. And the collusion of interests between these people is more complicated than he imagined. It's like all the trees in a rainforest are connected to each other by their roots and fungi, and even a single tree can be connected to a tree thousands of meters away. Wave after wave of anti-pornography campaigns, if the grass is cut and not eradicated, and the problem of the people's livelihood is not fundamentally solved, it is in vain.

Although he didn't trust them, he thought that they wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary to hurt him, so he was invited to a hotel that Mao Yingnu had "covered" before, which was also a place for prostitution.

He was slightly drunk, and the gang did pretend to report to him about the banning of prostitution, which was used to numb serious nerves. However, when the dinner was nearing the end, the gang claimed that they would go to the lobby to settle the bill, so they left their seats in twos and threes, leaving them alone to sit on the seat and eat a big bowl of spicy soup to "relieve hangover".

It is a secluded private room on the second floor. The solemn seat is located, and there is a Chinese painting of a maid on the wall behind it. There was no one talking in the private room, so it was quiet at first. Until Seriousness heard the sound of a guqin and a singing voice from the room next to him on the wall behind him. As soon as I was serious, I could hear that it was the track "Mountains and Flowing Water" that was playing and singing.

In serious college, I had the opportunity to play in a law school band as a guitarist. In the evenings when students study at night, they can often be heard rehearsing Bee in a room on the second floor of the college

d the sound of the band's songs. One of the band members can play the guitar and the guqin. It's all about playing musical instruments. So from time to time, between rehearsals, he will also improvise a guqin piece, including this "Mountains and Flowing Water".

So this guqin song immediately aroused his memories and interest.

However, in between, he discovers that this may be a trap. As the saying goes, don't go to the devil's store if you don't buy the devil's stuff.

After seriously restraining the curiosity in his heart, "I want to see who plays the guqin so beautifully", he still glanced at the wall behind him, and suddenly found that there was a door on the wall that was not easy to find at a glance, the color was the same as the surrounding wall, and the door was embedded in the wall, and there were only three faint gaps between it and the surrounding wall. The door has no handle, but it looks like it opens with a push.

Seriousness quickly "fled" the scene. If there is a moment's delay, the next plot will be in the hands of the gang of Yingnu.

The group of people in the lobby, seeing that they came out so quickly, knew that their drama had failed, and they all had red faces and red ears, and their heads drooped.

After he came back, he discussed with the Turtle County Order for a long time. They then took a stormy step, dismissing several officials who had shares in these "entertainment venues" and imposing salary fines on those who did not report their knowledge.

Before seriously departing for the Southern Armstrong office to handle the purchase of arms, he was also responsible for handling a case of justification. This case is not the same as the justifiable defense case that has just been dealt with before, and it involves a lot of controversial points, and if it is placed in the current judicial environment, if it is handled biasedly, it will definitely be lost in the foaming stars of countless experts and keyboard warriors.

The defendant in the case was Shen, the son of a silkworm farmer who cultivated silkworms, and the plaintiff was a thug in a loan shark ring. Because silkworm farmers need to expand breeding, they borrowed some silver taels from loan shark gangs, but because silkworm breeding is in the mountains, it is necessary to prevent birds and other insects from eating silkworms, which is a business that depends on the sky to eat, so a small silkworm that has just hatched may be eaten by birds and insects if it is not optimistic. This year, the Shen family's silkworms were stolen and eaten, and there was not enough silver taels to pay off the debt. This loan shark gang went from the silkworm not yet hatching, to the silkworm just hatching, to the silkworm growing into an adult, and then to spinning silk and forming cocoons, and came to Shen's house again and again to harass and force debts.

This day has not been long before the day when the silkworms go down the mountain, and these people came uninvited, put on a domineering shelf, unceremoniously greeted and sat down without looking for a seat, and cocked Erlang's legs, one of them pointed at Shen's mother with his finger:

"Tell me, how long have we been giving you grace? This is the last time, I see the face of the villagers, otherwise our boss will be mad, and you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

Shen's mother could only beg them, saying that this year's year was not good, the silkworms were eaten by birds and insects, and they would definitely pay back the debts they owed in the coming year.

This person still pointed at Shen's mother:

"It's not that we turn our faces and don't recognize people, but we have already given you grace not once or twice. Think of a way to turn around with relatives and friends, and you don't owe much, so why bother us to run here one by one. Oops, it smokes us ......."

After speaking, he covered his nose with his hand to express his disgust with the smell of silkworm cocoons.

"You say, why should the villagers bother? Trip after trip, always do not return. There are always more solutions than difficulties, let's say? Aren't you going to wander through us with your heart? ”

This is a relatively talkative person, and seems to convince Shen's mother.

But a debt collector next to him didn't have such a good look, and as soon as he came up, he humiliated Shen's mother:

"You can believe what my eldest brother said, yes. Open your mouth with your relatives and friends, there is not much money, you see you have walked a few of us. Besides, with your appearance, it's not worth a lot of money to sell you to Manchun Courtyard. Don't give us any grinding here! ”

The one who was called his "big brother", seeing that he spoke roughly, forced him to lie on the ground, did not go to the Tao, gave him a color, and tried to stop his reckless words.

"Nope! Big brother, don't give me a look, you give me a look again, that's what I'm talking about. You look at her face folds, the face plate is like a big winter melon, I wonder who doesn't have long eyes can look at her and want her? ”

The "big brother" knew that this person was more "biao", and he couldn't listen to the good words, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it:

"Don't give us the whole thing! Did people say they wouldn't pay it back? Can you die if you wait? ”

"Don't be my big brother! Let's just recognize... It's big brother, you're an accountant, you think you're wearing a pair of glasses, and you're here to be a cultural person? ”

The two developed from a verbal dispute to a fist-to-fist confrontation, which was something that no one present expected.

Shen has been standing on the scene, and when the two were fighting and pulling each other, the back of the "little brother" happened to touch Shen.

Shen just gently pushed the person outward. Unexpectedly, he turned around and crackled with a combination of punches, which hit Shen with his head in his hands and couldn't parry.

The debt collector saw that the fist was not enjoyable enough, and he glared and felt everywhere for the stick in his hand, wanting to turn around and teach Shen a lesson again.

The "big brother" and a few people next to him could only stop him and hug him and stop him from hurting Shen with a stick.

The situation relaxed slightly, like a moment of calm after a storm. The "little brother" continued to insult and slander Shen's mother with unbearable words:

"Let me tell you, Lao Tzu, I have done more beautiful girls than you have raised silkworms! You pee and look at yourself, the old eyebrows are clicking. And your son, who is a stubborn donkey, if you don't train him, just wait for me to train him! ”

Everyone present knew that this was because his eldest brother stopped him and injured people with a stick, which was just to prove that if his eldest brother hadn't stopped him, he would have cleaned up Shen with a stick a long time ago. If he doesn't say a cruel word at this time, his powerful role in the rivers and lakes will not be able to stand up.

Shen stood there dumbfounded, he didn't know what he should do or how to do it in order to make these vicious gangsters disappear forever.

Sometimes good is still wearing shoes at home, and evil has run out into the streets and roared. Because goodness always has all kinds of scruples. And evil can be put into battle at any time.

The gangsters came to the house and rummaged through the cabinets, and when they saw that they could not find anything of value, they poured themselves a cup of tea and sat there leisurely, as if they were relatives who had come to visit the house.

In an instant, Shen's anger rushed straight to his head, he found the kitchen knife in the kitchen, rushed out of the kitchen like a gust of wind, and went straight to the gangster who insulted his mother with words, and slashed it with a kitchen knife. The gangster was defenseless, and for a moment he was cut and lay down crookedly, falling to the ground like a ball of noodles, and the blood sprayed out one by one.

In the end, the gangster died because he was cut off in the renal artery.

This is a classic case of "justifiable defence" or "excessive defence". From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China to modern times, justice and law seem to have similar faces, but they have different titles, titles, and characteristics. From the perspective of the elements of justice alone, the modern concept of justice and the concept of legitimate defense can be roughly "distilled" from the legal system of the Qing Dynasty. In other words, the Qing Dynasty's legal concept and simple concept of justice can fully deduce the modern legal concept of "legitimate defense".

Prior to the promulgation of the Current Criminal Law of the Qing Dynasty, the provisions on justifiable defense were mainly embodied in the Criminal Cases Review of Criminal Cases in cases such as "entering a house at night without a reason", "killing an adulterer", and "beating up one's father and ancestors". For example, in the "Great Qing Statutes. Criminal Law. Entering someone's house at night without a reason" stipulates that if you break into someone's house at night without a valid reason, the trespasser will be given eighty rods; If the owner of the house immediately kills the intruder when he discovers him, the owner is not guilty; But if the intruder is killed after he has been caught, he shall be punished with a hundred rods and three years' imprisonment.

Several issues are involved in this case. First, judging from the specific facts of the case, it seems that Shen "moved first", because Shen pushed the debt collector, which then led to the escalation of the conflict. The prosecution argued that Shen did not constitute a situation of legitimate defense. Second, from the perspective of the elements of justifiable defense, the severity of the defensive act is not commensurate with the severity of the infringement or harassment, because stabbing with a knife and preparing to hit with a stick are not the same level of conduct, and if there are defensive measures of lower severity, the less serious defensive measures should be adopted; Third, the act of defence is not carried out in the context of an "imminent threat" to the victim, that is, when the debt collector calms down and no longer appears to be "threatening", there is no "imminent threat" (i.e., an existing and ongoing threat). As stated in the Qing Dynasty's criminal law, "refusal to commit adultery and murder" must be carried out "immediately", i.e., when there is an imminent threat. And Shen was defending himself without further imminent threat from the debt collector. Fourth, the prosecution also argued that Shen and his mother could have escaped after facing the threat before committing the serious harm act. Because they have the possibility of escape.

Serious once looked at a number of cases on similar topics while writing a paper on "justifiable defense." Apart from the red tape of evidence and the content of the litigation process, the judgment is largely silent on the law of the case.

After communicating with the Guixian Order, Zheng Zheng made instructions on the prosecution document (to the effect of the following):

First, although Shen was the first to move, he just gently pushed the debt collector outward. The reason why it is necessary to determine who made the first move in a fight is often to determine who is the "provocateur". As it turns out, the first to do so is often not necessarily the provocateur. Here, even if Shen acted first, the debt collector caused a serious provocation to Shen and his mother in order to collect the debt and use foul language, and should be judged to be the party that provoked the incident. Therefore, if you want to determine whether Shen meets the requirements of legitimate defense, then the answer is clear and affirmative.

Second, although the former was more serious than the use of a kitchen knife and verbal insults and attempts to find a stick to hit Shen, considering that there were many people on the other side and one of the debt collectors was looking for a stick with greater lethality, it was justified for Shen to strike with a kitchen knife.

Third, although the debt collector has indicated through his behavior that they will not further cause damage and threat to the "personal" safety and tranquility of Shen and his mother, that is, there is no "urgency", it ......

Seriously writing this, it is most difficult to argue with the sudden discovery of this. For it is true that an act of self-defense in the absence of urgency is no longer justified defence, but an act of retaliation. He suddenly found himself as if he was "result-oriented", that is, the result was predetermined, and his "legitimate" reasons were extrapolated from the result.

In this regard, there is no legislation or theory that can be used for reference in the current Chinese law.

Therefore, seriousness still finds a certain basis from foreign laws. Seriousness was pleasantly surprised.

“Batte

ed wife defe

se”。

That is, a wife who is the bedside person, if she is "often" bullied by her husband's domestic violence, can act in defense under certain circumstances, even if there is no "urgency".

In other words, even long after her husband's recurrent acts of domestic violence, the wife has the right to get rid of him without criminal liability.

And so on, let's look at this case. Since the debt collectors harassed the Shen family "regularly" and often threatened violence, the defenders still had the right to defend themselves even if there was no "urgency" to act in defence.

In the present case, "regularity" (violations) is consistent and violence exists. So, the results are reasonable.

Fourth, as to whether the victim fulfills his obligation to "evade", it all depends on the objective circumstances on a case-by-case basis. In the "Kunshan Anti-Homicide Case", the defender was chased and beaten by two men, and his bicycle was lying on the ground, and he had no possibility of turning over and jumping on the bicycle to escape. It's also not very likely that you will leave your bike and run away alone. He needs to be on guard against the opponent's fists, kicks and knives at all times, and in the situation of high mental tension at that time, a person who is in the same situation as the victim is basically unable to fulfill the obligation of "evasion".

Solemnly ended his approval with the phrase "home is a fortress":

Whether it is for the crime of theft (burglary is one level higher) or the crime of rape (for example, the Qing Dynasty criminal law stipulates that "refusing to commit rape and murder" is not guilty, and even if the person who intends to rape is detained and killed, the sentence will be lenient), the threat caused by burglary is several orders of magnitude greater than the threat and damage caused in public.

In the famous Yu Huan murder case, it was also the gangsters who came to harass, threaten, insult and attempt to commit violence. In terms of the obligation of "evasion" mentioned above, the home (or other immovable property owned by oneself) is his fortress, and if he is allowed to escape, this is his home, where else can he escape? In the end, the court sentenced Yu Huan to 5 years in prison. It can be seen that the legal principle is clear.

After reporting to the Guixian Order, the Guixian Decree gave the Serious Survey (official street sign), followed the light car, and rushed to Shanghai with a few officials.
