late Qing Dynasty arrest

After Li Guolou explained his official duties, the sound of cannons was fired outside, and Mr. Bao started the trial.Li Guolou yelled: "Disband! I'm so busy doing business. I don't have such great skills, so I won't take anyone with me."

Ai Haire posted his butt, and said with a grin: "Deputy Li, I, you always have to take it with you, only one person! I have never had the opportunity to watch Mr. Bao's trial."

Li Guolou stood up, put on the "watermelon hat" (because of his big size, Li Guolou called it the watermelon hat). Looking at Ai Hai's treacherous face, he knew in his heart that this brat's case was not easy to investigate. He knows what he's been up to these days.

Seriously said: "Don't laugh, cheer louder when it's time to applaud, and don't lose the face of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Understand?" Li Guolou raised his face to the level of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and warned Ai Hai not to talk to each other. The handle of Ai Hai's lifelong happiness.

Ai Hai chuckled, and said, "Thank you Captain Li for looking up to me, my voice is no worse than Ma Dequan." After speaking, Ai Hai glanced at the other eight people proudly, and now he is the most favored here in Li Guolou.Ma Dequan is just a fool, not on the same level as him.

The two left the Tianzi compound side by side, and met Yao Cuo, Lu Haikong and Xing Yunfeng on the way.Li Guolou asked Xing Yunfeng why he didn't go to the trial?It turns out that Xing Yunfeng is old and has no room for promotion. He is no longer willing to do this kind of role in the officialdom to support the chief.It's extraordinary and refined, and it's a school of its own. After a few years, it will be a baby for the elderly.

Colleagues and officers are all well-dressed, and they step into the lobby full of vigor and status. Even though there are no seats for them to sit, standing here means that they have a certain status in the Ministry of Punishment.

The yamen servants brought in the plaintiff first, and the person who walked in the front was Song Shixiong, the litigant. He was less than 40 years old, with a fair face and beardless, thin body, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed eyes.He has a younger brother, Song Shijie, who is very famous in Guangzhou, known as "the one who wins but never loses". If he wants to hire Song Shijie as a lawyer, the fee will be at least two gold ingots, and he has already become a legendary figure.

Litigation lawyers are all famous people, born as scholars, inferior to masters, and have a bad reputation in society.Ordinary scholars are unwilling to be a litigator. Litigation lawyers collect black-hearted money, go through the back door, make connections, and tamper with confessions.Many of the plaintiffs were bewitched by the litigator to file a lawsuit, and in the end they lost the court case, so the litigator was very hated.The litigator eats the plaintiff and the defendant, colludes with the people in the yamen, and wants to get justice in the hands of the litigator. Only in the life lawsuit, which is still a final official, will the litigant get justice.

Song Shixiong stepped over the threshold of the lobby and first saluted with fists in the direction where Li Guolou was standing. The officials here are the key to the trial of the case. The first-hand information is written by people like Li Guolou who handled the case on the spot.

The Dizi Brigade happened to be the person in charge of this case, and they got close to Li Guolou.The members of their local name brigade had changed their doors a long time ago, and they all worshiped under Li Guolou's door. The reason is very simple. After the Spring Festival, Li Guolou will become the captain of their team.The original captain, Liu Chengle, has been ordered to leave the capital and go to a village office to do a job as a security guard.

In whispers, Li Guolou had a general understanding of the situation of this case.In Chenzhuang, Qilitun, the widow Chen Luoshi has a son under the age of 16, Chen Zhonghe. Because there is no father at home for many years, he has become a bully in the village, sneaking around, being rude to people, fighting, swearing, and even being rude to his mother.Therefore, Chen Yajun, the village official of Chenzhuang, Chen Buli, the patriarch, and his mother Chen Luoshi unanimously decided to expel Chen Zhonghe from the Chen family. Chen Zhonghe's first major crime was unfilial piety!

In all things, filial piety comes first, and the Qi family is in harmony with the world, filial piety is the first thing to look at.If a person is labeled as unfilial, he has no status in society and can accomplish nothing.The law of the Qing Dynasty stipulates that the parents of officials should observe filial piety for three years after their death, which is called Ding You.Some officials spend money to sit in fat positions, what should they do when their parents die?Those who play adultery will hide the news of their parents' death.Because in the Qing Dynasty, the officials of the seventh rank and above were all officials in different places, and the traffic was poor and the information was not good. Many officials with famous history have done this kind of thing to conceal the news of their parents' death.Of course, there are all kinds of reasons, all-inclusive, not necessarily for making money.Some officials have important positions, and the emperor cannot do without him. He can use imperial power to deprive Ding Youquan of an official whose parents have died. This is called seduction.

Now if this case is established, the defendant Chen Zhonghe will be expelled from the Chen family, he will have no inheritance rights, and he will not be able to find a good job in the society in the future.

Haoyunlai said in a low voice: "Song Shixiong is known as a shit-stirring stick, and he likes to confuse the public the most. You can't understand what he said about the lawsuit. You only regret that you didn't study well back then."

Li Guolou looked at the large group of people on the plaintiff's side. The defendant's side had only one lonely boy, and he couldn't help but feel weird. How could there be such a mother in the world who didn't even want her own son.The boy looks a little dark, but he is not very strong, and he will not fight hard.He should like to hang out and hang out outside, his family education is not strict, and he is a loafer.

"Then is what the plaintiff said true?" Li Guolou was a little suspicious.

Lucky said: "I've checked and heard it myself, and it's all true. The stinky boy who is not peaceful, Chen Zhuang Yiba, specializes in stumbling things. Many people's doors have smeared feces on him."

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Oh, I like to play pranks, I'm a bit perverted in my heart, I should teach myself a lesson."

"Boom, boom, boom!" The big drum sounded, and the Yamen servant with a big throat shouted: "Shengtang!"

The two groups of yamen servants stood on the left and right, "Wuuuuu;;;;;; Weiweiwei;;;;;;" The water and fire sticks in their hands hit the bluestone floor tiles, and the two solemn signs stood in front of the crowd watching the excitement, There were government servants with various instruments of torture standing behind, the scene was truly terrifying, and even Li Guolou became vicious.

Out of the back hall came out Bao Yi and Wu Defu in bluestone-colored official robes, with rubies on their heads and flower feathers on their heads, and a string of agate beads on their chests that was very valuable.Behind Bao Yi stood a handsome young man holding an official seal in his hand. This kind of attendant is usually a young man supported by a high official.Li Guolou was bumped several times by the people around him, all wanting him to take a good look at what Bao Yi's young man looks like.

Li Guolou, like the people next to him, was curious and recognized that a man can grow up to be so handsome, and it would be a waste if he didn't become a young man. (This kind of entourage was sold to Xianggong Tangzi when he was a child. Sex with children was clearly done in the Qing Empire, and it was also a scene in the Qing Empire.) At the beginning of the trial, apart from the litigator Song Shixiong, the plaintiff and the defendant knelt on the left and right. , the people of Chen Village stood behind. Among them were the village chief, the patriarch, and those who came to see the excitement. A total of more than 200 people were put in, and they usually spent money to enter the court to watch the trial. This item of income has become the unspoken rule of the yamen.The officer above turned a blind eye, pretending not to know about such a thing.

The trial of a case by the government is like a drama. Many people want to watch the real case trial, and the shadow of spending money can be seen in every link.The gestures made by the yamen servants didn't even know the meaning of the arresters and high-ranking officials who stayed in the yamen. Only Wu Defu, who was on the line of heaven and earth, knew the meaning.

Bao Yi patted the gavel together, and said solemnly: "Silent!"

The whole audience became silent, and the official appearance made people shudder. This is the legendary trial. Who dares to make a loud noise, first come to the twenty boards, and let your flesh and blood fly.

Bao Yi nodded slightly, and the yamen servant shouted loudly, "Bring the plaintiff, Chen Luoshi."

Chen Luoshi was led from behind to kneel on the plaintiff stone in front, and said softly: "The concubine is the plaintiff Chen Luoshi, Mr. Bao, please verify her authenticity."

This is the rule of hearing a case. If the plaintiff is false, the trial will not become a big joke.Several villagers from Chenzhuang came forward to testify. The plaintiff is Chen Luoshi himself, and the defendant is Chen Zhonghe himself. There are no fake products, and the case continues to be tried.

Then it was Song Shixiong's turn to come forward, salute the chief officer in the courtroom, and start the complaint: "The plaintiff, Chen Luoshi, entrusted the housekeeper Chen Yaxue to sue the rebellious son Chen Zhonghe for being unfilial, unkind, unrighteous, lazy and hardworking, and not changing his bad nature." , The teaching is stubborn, the bad deeds are full, and he is not worthy of being a member of the Chen family. There are [-] major crimes and [-] minor crimes. Now the lawyer Song Shixiong will come to read to the adults;;;;;;”

(The law of the Qing Dynasty stipulates that apart from the major crimes of disobedience and treason, as long as there are men in the family, women cannot be the plaintiff. Therefore, Chen Luoshi has to entrust the housekeeper Chen Yaxue to be the plaintiff.) Well, the crime committed by a young man was half-spoken from Song Shixiong's mouth. Hours, spitting and flying, cadence.Those who listened thought it was funny, but also felt sad. Many children were misbehaving, and they were labeled as inhumane and unrighteous. In addition, Chen Zhonghe's disrespect to his mother, Chen Luoshi, was a serious crime of unfilial piety.

The doctrine at this time is that the ruler must die, but the minister must not die, and the father must die if the son dies. This is the best interpretation of filial piety, and children cannot violate the wishes of their parents.From a jurisprudential point of view, as long as what the plaintiff, Chen Luoshi, said was true, it was justified, and no one could overturn Song Shixiong's lawsuit.

This is how the official's iron butt was cultivated. The official appearance is not something ordinary people can do. Bao Yiyi sat in the courtroom for more than half an hour without moving. He uttered "Hmm! Ah!" and told everyone present that he hadn't slept and had been listening.

A group of officials, including Li Guolou, had also practiced in the Ministry of Punishment, and they remained upright for half an hour, with majesty and majesty, and the spirit of dragons and horses, standing like a pine tree, only the best among them can be an official.

Song Shixiong breathed a sigh of relief after reading the lawsuit, and waited for the officer's questioning.

Wu Defu raised his voice and said, "Master Song Litigation presented the case."

The form is folded, slowly unfold the form together with the bag, and look down at the form carefully without saying a word.

There was no sound in the lobby, even the sound of breathing could be heard.The oppressive atmosphere caused the defendant Chen Zhonghe, who was kneeling on the ground, to move his knees back and forth, and his hyperactive habit made Chen Zhonghe feel uncomfortable. He had never kneeled for such a long time in his life.

Bao Yitong didn't find any loopholes in the complaint, and put on an official voice: "The defendant Chen Zhonghe, the plaintiff Chen Yaxue's complaint is true, what else do you have to say?"

Chen Zhonghe, who was still in development, said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Chen Yaxue is just a slave of my family, how can he be the plaintiff. I will never accept it!"

Wu Defu shouted: "The defendant, Chen Zhonghe, you have to understand that the defendant is your mother, because she is a woman, so let Chen Yaxue be the plaintiff, and you have to accept if you refuse. If you refuse to accept, you will slap ten times, so that you will have a long memory."

Chen Zhonghe said angrily: "My lord, I don't have the money to hire a lawyer. I want the property and land left by my father. I am the one with the surname Chen." Because he is not yet an adult, he has no right of inheritance, and now everything in the Chen family does not belong to him. He, so Chen Zhonghe's first thing in the hall is to ask for the family's ancestral property.

Bao Yi snorted and sneered, "Does a prodigal like you still have the face to be named Chen? People in the family don't want you anymore. Now I'm asking you if what the plaintiff said is true, you have to answer truthfully. "

Chen Zhonghe looked at Chen Luoshi, and said: "She is my mother, it is normal for me to lose my temper with her, didn't I apologize with Li afterwards? Mother and child should not have an overnight feud. I admit that I have done other things, and I am not filial to me. Not at all."

Some people in the crowd behind the court shouted, "Shameless little bastard! Get the little bastard out of Chenzhuang! You don't deserve the surname Chen!" Everyone in Chenzhuang scolded Chen Zhonghe, saying that he had humiliated Chenzhuang completely. The villagers spoke well of Chen Zhonghe.

Li Guolou looked at this scene, but felt weird, a boy didn't murder and set fire, and he didn't even do anything to moles a little girl, why the whole village hated this boy so much.Can the people of Chenzhuang who come here really represent the people of Chenzhuang?Who on earth bought these villagers? Li Guolou looked at the frail Chen Luoshi, what was going on in the heart of the pitiful Chen Luoshi?How will Mr. Bao, sitting in the high hall, judge the case?Li Guolou is looking forward to the sparks between the two sides, and wants to explore Master Bao's inner world.
