Datang first village

Four to five hundred people surrounded the gate of the Chang'an Ling Yamen. This is a case that the entire Chang'an already knows and has made public.

"Who is in the hall? Who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant?"

This is not a movie, but a direct-looking trial.

The person in charge of the court hearing is Jingzhao Judicial Joining the Army. This position can be said to be a combination of civilian and military positions. The civilian part is responsible for hearing some cases that are not too big or small.The military part is that there are some criminal cases that need to be solved, etc., and he is the commander or the main person in charge.

In the hall, there was no mighty roar like that shown on TV.

Only a small official stood at the door and shouted: "The chief official in the hall asks for his name, and the trial begins!"

Kneel?

This is Datang, there is no need to kneel down at all, there are cushions for non-criminal cases.

"The folk girl Jin Manqing is the plaintiff. The folk girl from Chang'an Yaozhou is a second-class foreman in Yaozhou. She is a candidate student of the Royal College of Medicine. This time she came to Chang'an to buy some gifts, and partly to make friends with Yaozhou. Sisters, partly because they are going to visit their parents, and they have already received approval. The second reason for coming to Chang'an is to apply for the Imperial School Department of the Ministry of Rites and accept the review. I have made a little contribution, and a letter of recommendation from the chief officer of Yaozhou. So I got a qualification for admission without examination."

As soon as Jin Manqing opened her mouth, she explained the situation on her side very clearly.

Last night, Wei Zheng personally taught her what to say in class and what not to say.That part is the point, and that part is the secondary.

Even, Wei Zheng has a detailed plan for her to win the sympathy of the hearing people.

Jin Manqing is also very clear that the slap she was slapped is no longer her own business, which seems to involve a lot.It's just that at the moment, she is really standing up for herself, so Jin Manqing cooperated very much and memorized what Wei Zheng explained very seriously.

Jingzhao Judicial Joining Army in the hall stretched out his hand and pressed down twice: "I will tell you in detail when I ask you."

After all, the judicial envoy turned to the Baekje envoy: "Then you are the defendant. The clerk, can you verify the identities of the plaintiff and the defendant, as well as the reason for being in Dongshi?"

The Baekje envoy stood there motionless, he was unwilling and would not answer such a question.

As an envoy of a country, he will not answer any questions easily.

Baekje's envoys are only thinking about one thing right now, and that is how to get rid of the trouble in front of them. It is obvious that the people of Datang are using this matter to do something, but it is definitely not aimed at them. The attitude of the Goguryeo envoys made him He was a little chilled, so sitting in the hall at this time, he just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.

"Plaintiff, state your charge!"

"Minnv went to Dongshi, and Dongshi guides led her in various shops. On the street, Minnv didn't know what happened, but she was suddenly beaten, and then he said I was a bitch. Minnv was already I said that I am a commoner in Chang'an, and people who are not slaves are called a bitch. This is insulting. The women accuse him of hurting others, accuse him of verbal insults, and accuse him of bullying the people!"

After Jin Manqing finished speaking, she straightened up and saluted.

"Defendant, can you plead guilty!" Judicial Junjun asked loudly.

What the Baekje envoy was thinking at this time was that he could plead guilty to beating someone, but he would never admit that humiliating fault.It is absolutely unacceptable to bully the people by taking advantage of their power.Otherwise, there is no need for me to stay in Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an will have some opinions on me and even Baekje.

When the Baekje envoy was considering how to speak, someone outside the hall held up a document and shouted: "The envoy of Goguryeo sent a letter to Jing Zhaoyin of the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo did not restrict civilians from wearing silk, and attached a description of Goguryeo clothing and other steps to help Datang Jing Zhaoyin judged the Dongshi case!"

A normal document, the small official of the Goguryeo envoy even shouted it out on purpose.

Who is this shouting for?

The Baekje envoy felt that his heart was splitting, that the Goguryeo people would do this.

Pressing one hand on his heart, the Baekje envoy's expression was extremely calm, and then he slowly left the cushion and stood up, with an extremely calm tone: "A confession!"

Baekje envoy's confession made everyone in the hall fooled, especially the people sent by Wei Zheng in the back hall were like hitting cotton with a fist.

The people outside the door were cheering, and the hearts of the people were in favor of the weak.

The people sent by Wei Zheng were even more troublesome, which was different from the original plan.

The original plan was to wait for the Baekje envoy to refute, and then Jin Manqing would present a lot of evidence.

The result of the trial is not important, what is important is the process.

"Since you have pleaded guilty, the sentence will be heard in fifteen minutes!" Judicial Junjun signaled the clerk in the hall to take the transcript to the Baekje envoy to sign, and then took the transcript to the back hall.

This is a normal procedure, and the sentencing on the spot also requires a process of sentencing.

The people sent by Wei Zheng bowed to Jing Zhaoyin: "Since the case is over, I will take my leave."

"That's the end?" Jing Zhaoyin asked back.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has issued strict orders. This case can be a trap, which can embarrass the people of Baekje, and even find a way to drag the people of Goguryeo into the water. However, anyone who dares to interfere with the notarization of the laws of the Tang Dynasty will be held accountable. A certain understanding is that the trap is the plaintiff. In the courtroom, the judge only verifies the evidence and decides the case fairly!"

After hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin nodded very seriously: "The justice of the laws of the Tang Dynasty naturally cannot be profaned. Your Highness is wise."

These words were said by Qin Wang Li Yuanxing. Anyway, Wei Zheng's people did not hear Li Yuanxing say it, but Wei Zheng told him that this was what His Royal Highness Qin Wang meant, the law must be fair, and things can be conspiratorial.

Wei Zheng's men left.

Not long after, Judiciary joined the army and returned to the court.

During this period, the Baekje envoy stood calmly, and even nodded slightly when he saw Judici join the army.

"Listen to the sentence!" The Judiciary joined the army standing on the lobby, and when the small officials took their positions, they shouted loudly.

Jin Manqing also stood up, she didn't think so much, she just wanted to get some justice.

"In the first year of Zhenguan, in the new law of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys and deputy envoys have the right to immunity from punishment. Except for the three serious crimes of causing death, stealing the secrets of the Tang Dynasty, and contempt of the Tang royal family, other crimes can be punished according to the new Tang law. .The penalty is one, so that people who are not slaves of the Jietuan will be punished on their behalf.”

When Judici joined the army, he paused.

On the surface, he was waiting for the reaction of the Baekje envoy, but in fact he was hesitating.

Because the second substitute punishment is to replace the prisoner with the crown. To put it more directly, it is ten days of imprisonment. The envoy only needs to put the hat or something that can represent himself in the cell.

But the people sent by Wei Zheng originally said that they wanted the Baekje envoys to arrange their people, put on their own clothes, and then beat him. It doesn't matter how much you beat him.

After thinking about it, he played a trick on the text.

"The second generation of punishment, the prison sentence is replaced by a crown!"

This is a word game, and it is also the impreciseness of the sentences in the ancient prose.The meaning of prison sentence is to imprison this kind of punishment, and the other meaning is to imprison and punish.Prison represents detention, while Xing represents very realistic punishment, such as hitting a board or sweeping the street.

"The third generation of punishment is to be punished with money!"

The envoy of Baekje secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He did not expect that this substitute punishment was a kind of tolerance for the envoys of various countries, and at the same time guaranteed the majesty of the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

"However, any kind of substitute punishment requires the approval of the sufferer!"

"Folk women don't believe that money is used as a substitute for punishment." Jin Manqing raised her skirt and saluted.

The people outside the door also booed: "This girl is not short of money, and people wearing brocade don't need that fine money."

"That is, people who can wear brocade, who cares about those coins!"

The Baekje envoy was also calculating in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, anyway, he could not be punished for this.Immediately asked: "How to punish, please judge the case!"

"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, those who humiliate others will be given ten to one hundred slaps. The judge sentenced the defendant to thirty slaps. Can the defendant be accepted?" Before the Baekje envoy could respond, the Judiciary joined the army and continued: "Whoever hurts people will be given ten slaps." Up to two hundred blows, those who cause injuries and disabilities, will be imprisoned for one to five years, and work together. The more serious ones will be exiled for thousands of miles! The judge sentenced the defendant, forty blows with a board, and those who hit people in the face, especially women, hurt them Appearance, although no scars are left, but the crime is aggravated!"

The Baekje envoy didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Jin Manqing.

Jin Manqing pointed to the very fierce Baekje guard that he met in Dongshi that day: "If he comes to fight for him, the women of the people will agree!" After finishing speaking, Jin Manqing saluted the judicial army again.Her attitude was extremely firm.

"If the three generations of punishment are used at the same time, can the punishment be reduced!"

If the Baekje envoys were placed in the past, they would never have made such a choice.He doesn't care whether a guard will be beaten, or whether he will be killed or disabled, as long as he is not guilty.

But now, his mentality has changed a little.The reason is that Goguryeo, as an ally, not only betrayed him, but also made trouble.

This feeling of being betrayed is really very bad.

Whether it was impulsiveness or conscience discovery, the Baekje envoy's first priority right now is to settle this matter as soon as possible.The second is to make his guards suffer less. The last reason is that he wants to take this opportunity to earn some favors for himself in front of the people in Chang'an, because he still needs to stay in Chang'an, and he needs to have some plans and ideas.

Judici was very happy to join the army, and the result was exactly what he wanted.

"The plaintiff, the defendant did not have the slightest self-defense in court, and immediately pleaded guilty. This is a kind of sincerity. Since the defendant has admitted his mistake, Chang'an has had the virtue of being courteous since January. I think that the fine is consistent, and the compensation is [-]%. Go through. The guards will put on the defendant's uniform and crown. They will be punished five times by slapping the mouth, and ten times by banning the mouth. What do you think of the plaintiff?"

Jing Zhaoyin listened from behind, and said to himself that you are really smart when you join the army for justice.However, he couldn't stop it. (To be continued.)
