The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 292 Judgment
For Wen Jie, as long as Ling Chi, the pariah who killed his son, was sentenced to death, it would be fair to enforce the law.

For the other results, no matter how Yang Qingyuan reasoned or analyzed the rules, in Wen Jie's eyes, they were just excuses for Zhang San.

He ignored Wen Jie, who was looking gloomy and trying to make trouble for no reason at the moment.

Yang Qingyuan turned his gaze to the rest of the people, "Everyone, have you ever seen clearly?!"

The rest of the people nodded, except for Wen Jie who objected from the basic logic, Yang Qingyuan, the rest of the people were acceptable to this result.

As for Wen Jie, that is unreasonable.

He began to question the basis of this experiment, and he didn't even question whether the experiment was effective, but directly questioned whether what was recorded in the book must be right! ?
This kind of questioning is not a problem in academics, but in judicial practice, it is unreasonable.

Not to mention Da Zhou, even on Blue Star, opponents can still question the fallacy of handwriting identification, and the methods used cannot correctly verify the facts.

But this kind of questioning is rogue logic, and the judges will not accept it.

Opponents not only have to question the validity of the experiment or method, they also have to come up with valid reasons.

Only such an opposition can be regarded as a truly effective one.

Ignoring Wen Jie, Yang Qingyuan returned to the court with a group of people.

"Snapped!"

Yang Qingyuan slapped the gavel.

"Wen Laifu, what do you have to say now?!"

Wen Laifu, who was kneeling in the hall, witnessed the autopsy just now, but Wen Laifu had no choice.

He is a stalwart of the Wen family. He was trained by the Wen family since he was a child. He can be disloyal to the emperor, but he cannot be disloyal to Wen Jie.

"I still say the same thing, I saw with my own eyes that after Zhang San shot my son with an arrow, he stepped forward and hit my son hard, causing my son to die!"

For Wen Laifu's answer, Yang Qingyuan was also mentally prepared, these dead men usually have such a temperament.

Yang Qingyuan didn't expect Wen Laifu to suddenly confess truthfully.

With the steamed bone autopsy method as evidence, Wen Laifu's testimony is no longer important.

The results of the steamed bone autopsy and the testimonies of Li Qingning's master and servant and Wen Wu corroborate each other, and can also be matched with Zhang San's self-reported confession, which is highly probable and can rule out other reasonable doubts.

These are enough to serve as the basis for a final decision!

"Crack!" Yang Qingyuan patted the gavel again, and said loudly.

"The case of Zhang San, a hunter in Cuihua Mountain, shooting and killing Wen Pojun, the son of Wen Jie, the general of Zuo Tunwei, has lasted for many days, and the case is finally finalized!"

"It has been found out that the criminal Zhang San deliberately killed Wen Pojun. He shot Wen Pojun to death with a hunting bow on Cuihua Mountain on April [-]th. The heart of the murderer, but there is no result of the murder, it is a righteousness. In summary, Dali Temple's judgment on Zhang San is as follows."

"The criminal Zhang San was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to three years in prison, and he can pay for the crime with money!"

"Wen Pojun, in broad daylight, kidnapped civilian women, plotted to commit crimes, sentenced to illegal detention, attempted adultery, but the criminal is dead, no further investigation!"

"Evil servant article five! As an accomplice in detention and adultery, and remembering to confess the crime truthfully, the crime will be reduced by one class! Imprisonment for three thousand miles and five years in prison!"

"The evil servant Wen Laifu, as an accomplice in detention and adultery, perjured himself in court, the crime will be doubled! Sentenced to death!"

"Crack!" Followed by Yang Qingyuan's gavel!

"The case of Zhang San and Wen Pojun has been concluded today. After the case file, it will be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review. If there is any dissatisfaction, you can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to redress your grievances!"

Today's Dali Temple has regained a lot of power, but for the purpose of checks and balances by the superiors, Emperor Zhou still let the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple check and balance each other.

All important cases in Beijing will be presided over by Dali Temple and reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

All major local cases can be presided over by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and reviewed by Dali Temple.

The two restrict each other, and each has the right to trial and review.

Not to let the family dominate.

But today's Dali Temple is a collection of investigations, arrests, and trials!Coupled with the subjugation of the little brother of the Six Doors, the authority has gradually overwhelmed the Ministry of Punishment.

"Retire!"

Following the mighty voice of the Dali Temple policemen retreating, the Zhang Sanyi case came to an end for the time being.

But the parties had two attitudes. Wen Jie flung his sleeves and left angrily. He couldn't accept this result.

Not only the murderer who killed his son was not caught, but several dead men and a lot of money were taken in.

Naturally, Yi Wenjie's character will not let it go.

On the other hand, Li Chengguang still had a calm expression on his face, as if this case had nothing to do with him.

"My lord Yang! I still have unfinished business in the government office, so I will take my leave first!"

"Master Li, walk slowly, the next official will be sent off soon!"

"Master Yang stay behind!"

After the two exchanged simple politeness, Li Chengguang left in the official sedan chair!
Although Li Chengguang left, Miss Li Qingning and her maid Li Xiaoyue stayed behind.

"Master Yang enforces the law impartially, the little girl admires it!"

Li Qingning immediately praised Yang Qingyuan when she came up.

Yang Qingyuan shook his head slightly and chuckled, "Miss Li can speak directly if she has something to say, don't you have to!?"

Li Qingning was slightly embarrassed, carefully deliberated on her wording, and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know the punishment of Zhang San. If you want to pay for the crime with silver, how much money will you need?!"

Li Qingning's problem was already in Yang Qingyuan's expectation, but he did not expect that the story of the eldest lady falling in love with the poor boy would happen to him.

"The criminal Zhang San was sentenced to three years in prison. If the punishment is paid in silver, he needs 300 taels of silver!"

Li Qingning frowned slightly when he heard 300 taels. Given Zhang San's background, 300 taels was an astronomical figure for him.

"Master Yang, I don't know if Zhang San's punishment money can be paid by me?!"

Li Qingning's actions were within Yang Qingyuan's expectation.

However, there are not so many rules for the payment of the fine money. The court just collects the money and doesn't care who pays the money.

Using silver to pay for a crime is actually not what you imagined. You can do whatever you want with money.

The regular penalties in Dazhou are divided into five grades, ranging from severe to lenient, such as chopping, strangling, strangulation, imprisonment, and stick.

Beheading and hanging are death sentences, but hanging can preserve the body, and beheading separates the head, so beheading is more severe.

Then there is exile, where prisoners are exiled to remote places to serve hard labor, which can be understood as a harsh version of imprisonment.

Imprisonment is to punish prisoners for hard labor, but the place and job will be better than exile. Ordinary people, even if they have never committed a crime, have to serve corvee on a regular basis. Ordinary corvee can be offset with money.

The last rod punishment is no longer explained.

The only things that Da Zhou could pay for his crimes with silver were imprisonment and rod punishment.

If it is true that any punishment can be paid for with money, then Da Zhou would have messed up a long time ago!
The criminals who were sentenced to rod punishment and imprisonment were relatively less subjectively vicious and had little objective harm, so they were allowed to use silver to cover their crimes.

　The high degree of probability in this chapter is actually the concept of modern civil law,
　　Beyond a reasonable doubt is a concept in the Anglo-American legal system, and Guochao is to rule out all other possibilities.

　　I quote it here and explain it hereby.
