Great Lawyer

Chapter 196 The Punishment of Killing the Cow ([-])
"I was buried in September, and it has been less than a month today, and the body has already deteriorated to this point. In this early winter, why does it rot so quickly?"

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and saluted Qiao's body. Dou Rongxing put the body away and put the coffin back on.

"Because when she died, Master Li poured a pot of boiling chicken soup over her head, and peeled off a layer of skin on the spot. That night, not only Master Li died, but also Ma Yuniang's nanny."

Someone cried in fright.

"Is the method cruel?" Du Jiuyan looked at He Cheng and Wu Dianyin, "However, at that time, Master Li was going to pour Ma Yuniang on that pot of chicken soup. It was Qiao's savior."

"A couple, how can there be such a big hatred?" Du Jiuyan said: "It's ridiculous to say it. It's just because Ma Yuniang reminded Li Zhi that the gold and silver jewelry he had credited for the concubine's room needed to be settled, and she, no longer I have no ability to continue to help him repay the debt. Therefore, Li Zhi has the idea of ​​killing."

"I missed it for a while, but I didn't intend to kill. It's not objective for you to say that!" He Cheng said.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "If it's just this time, I think the kind and cowardly Ma Yuniang, who regards her husband as her god, will still not kill him. This resentment has been accumulated for a long time, and it is like adding insult to injury. It is the straw that crushes the camel's back!"

"Show some adults." Du Jiuyan turned his head and looked at the seven women outside the door, "What is a human face and an animal heart!"

All eyes were on the seven women.

Suddenly, five of them, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, began to take off their clothes one by one outside the gate of the government hall.

Their faces are expressionless, their backs are straight, and they don't look sideways, quietly looking at the four large characters hanging high on the mirror in the courtroom.

In the cold early winter, five women abandoned everything...

But no one thought their behavior was shocking, because the scars on their bodies shocked the viewers even more.

"God!" A woman exclaimed, "This, what kind of evil is this made!"

Amid the terrified cries, people saw the little Jiang who was missing her body and was covered in knife marks and welts, and saw a man who was blind in one eye, with distorted arm bones and branded legs. Tao Shi saw the bruises all over the bodies of Jin Xiu's three maidservants and the eye-catching two-character tattoos.

bitch!

Du Jiuyan turned his head to look at He Cheng, "This is the man who has read poetry and books, this is the sanctimonious, and this is what the glamorous Baoqing magistrate in everyone's eyes, Mr. Li, has done in the past six years!"

"May I ask, have you ever seen such a beast in this world?"

"Ingratitude, selfishness, domestic violence, and murder! Ma Yuniang fought back when she was cornered and forced into a desperate situation, and she witnessed the tragic death of the nanny."

"Everyone!" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands, and together with the five naked women, looked at the people, "What would you do?"

"kill!"

"It's all about death. Fight him!"

"This bastard, it's too comfortable for him to be strangled to death. He should cut his flesh one by one."

"Damn it." Du Jiuyan picked up the clothes and put them on one by one, "But, in fact, even if it is a beast, killing it is a violation of the law, and it must bear the responsibility of the law."

She dressed them, walked to the main hall, cupped her hands towards He Cheng, and said in a loud voice, "However, they can be punished according to their discretion. Ma Yuniang deserves to die for her crime!"

"My lord, please play up. Ma Yuniang will be sentenced to thirty lashes and ten taels of silver!" After Du Jiuyan finished speaking, he saluted He Cheng.

If an ox with an owner is killed, and the owner comes to claim full responsibility, he will flog him thirty times and pay a certain amount of silver.

Du Jiuyan was comparing Li Zhi to a cow.

He Cheng stood up suddenly, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Thirty lashes for Ma Yuniang, ten taels of silver!" Du Jiuyan said with his head held high.

"Du Jiuyan, that's a person, a person!" He Cheng pointed at her and said angrily, "Even if Mr. Li is wrong, he is still a human being. What's more, he is still an official of the imperial court. You know, the imperial court trains a five-year-old Quality officials, how much manpower and financial resources will it cost?"

"Do you know that Mr. Li has been an official for more than ten years, and has done so much for the country and the people. Such a person, even if he has a bad life style, his flaws are not concealed. He has made contributions to the world and the people!"

"Ma Yuniang is a woman who killed a minister who has made contributions to the country and the people. Not only should she be killed, but she should also be severely punished to serve as an example to others."

"Ma Yuniang." He Cheng pointed at Ma Yuniang, and said angrily, "When the Japanese officials sentenced me, I said it, I don't bother to talk to you again today, and to those stupid and ignorant women in the world!"

"A husband is a guide to a wife. Mr. Li works for the court and works for the common people. You and other ignorant women will experience and understand the hard work. Even if he gets angry when he eats wine and occasionally loses his sense of control, you should persuade him and be patient. Never feel resentment."

"That's the way to be a woman!" He Cheng patted the gavel.

The inside and outside became quiet again, and suddenly, Du Jiuyan burst into laughter.

"Du Jiuyan, don't be unreasonable. Don't think that because of your fame, this official can't punish you." He Cheng said.

Du Jiuyan said, "My lord misunderstood. The student's smile is not about other things. It's that the flaw does not conceal the good... The student thinks that Master Li's flaw is a bit too big, and he can hardly see the essence of his jade."

"What do you mean?" He Cheng said angrily.

Du Jiuyan stretched out his hand, and Dou Rongxing handed it to her with a burden. She stood in the courtroom with it, shook the burden, and the letters and account books fell all over the floor!
She casually pulled out a letter from the ground, "This...is a letter from a certain squire in Xinhua. There are only a few words in the letter, but the postscript is very interesting." She raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "The bank note is attached 1000 taels, please eat wine!"

As she spoke, she handed the letter to the Miao scribe, "Please show it to all the adults. There are names and surnames in it, and it is easy to check."

"This letter, 800 taels, came from the Hu Mansion in Shaoyang. If you have any doubts, you can ask Hu Shouye to testify in court."

He Cheng passed on Hu Shouye, and Hu Shouye explained the whole story, and then withdrew.

The complexions of the adults began to turn ugly.

"This one, Yangzhou Shouma enjoys it to the fullest." Du Jiuyan waved the letter.

"This one is 5000 taels! Ah, this matter is a bit big, it seems to be related to the granary." Du Jiuyan sent the letter to Wu Dianyin, "Mr. He must not have time to read it, please take a look at it, Mr. Wu!"

Wu Dianyin received the letter, his expression changed drastically, his face was full of anger, and he said in a low voice: "The grain in the granary in the south of the city was exchanged by him and others secretly."

"Damn it!" Zheng Zhizhou was also horrified.

You know, two years ago, all the officials in Baoqing Mansion were reprimanded by the Holy Majesty and fined their salaries for half a year.

They suspected that there was a ghost inside, but they didn't expect it to be Li Zhi.

"Meat, it won't hurt if you don't cut it." Du Jiuyan took out another stack of letters, "This stack of four letters was written by Mr. Li. I think everyone can recognize the handwriting."

"What did you write?" Du Jiuyan read it again, "It has something to do with the students. A month ago, the students and Mr. Liu tried the murder case of Yan's father and son. Mr. Li got Yan Zhi's money and wrote letters to the county government to Liu The county magistrate, threaten him to release Yan Zhi, and don't care about this anymore."

"Bring me to read." Wu Dianyin took the letter, his face suddenly turned pale, he looked at Du Jiuyan, and asked in a low voice, "Who was the Magistrate Liu at that time?"

Du Jiuyan said silently: "King Gui."

"Bastard!" Wu Dianyin slapped the letter in his hand on the table.

He Cheng's face was also colorful, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Master He." Du Jiuyan withdrew his smiling face and asked loudly, "Is such a corrupt official with corrupt moral character really a hero to the country and the people?"

"Is such a husband and father who dotes on his concubine and kills his wife and murders his wife really more precious than the life of a wife like Ma Yuniang?"

"In this way, can you still use your flaws to cover up his merits? If that's the case, I will be puzzled by you, Mr. He. What kind of person are you, what books have you read, let you see these evidences and his deeds Finally, I still think that he is just flawless!"

He Cheng stood up angrily and stared at him fiercely.

"The value of a person is not just his status, not based on gender, but to treat each other as equals, and look beyond the appearance to see the essence." Du Jiuyan did not look at He Cheng, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and read: "From the year Ma Yuniang was born, the Ma family will donate 100 taels of silver to the local government and open a porridge shop to donate old clothes."

"Every year after that, the Ma Mansion will do these things. Even in the past two years, Ma Yuniang will still secretly give 100 taels of silver to Qingshan Taoist Temple, asking them to come forward to donate porridge and help the homeless."

"Maybe what she did is insignificant, maybe not as earth-shattering as a man, but is she really useless to the country and the people?"

"Is the unknown Ma Yuniang inferior to Li Zhi, who has a human face and a beastly heart?" Du Jiuyan shook his head, "Of course not. Ma Yuniang does not steal, rob, or infringe others. Still dealing with things, they are not equal!"

"If I say one thing here, Li Zhi's death deserves a lot of guilt, it will make me, a litigator, less objective!" Du Jiuyan glanced around and said loudly, "But I just don't want to be objective today."

"He, Li Zhi, deserves to die!"

Under the loud voice, there was silence, including the three officials in the hall, looking at her in a daze!
Outside the door, the common people applauded and responded one after another, shouting: "Yes, there is more than a death penalty!"

"Ma Yuniang was right to kill, this kind of corrupt officials deserves to die!"

"Why should he be buried according to his rank? We're going to drag this bastard out to burn his ashes."

The crowd was furious and his voice was loud. He Cheng woke up suddenly and said angrily: "Shut up! How to judge is not up to you, but the law." He said again: "Du Jiuyan, you say so much, even Li Zhiren The character is corrupt, but it can't change the fact that Ma Yuniang murdered, she still has to be executed to pay the price for her murder."

"There is a price to be paid, but it is definitely not death." Du Jiuyan replied: "So the student asks the adults to sentence Ma Yuniang to [-] floggings and [-] liang of silver, as a warning to others!"

He Cheng pointed at her, his hands were shaking, "The law is the law. It will not be judged justly because the wicked are killed, or because the good people are helpless."

"Yes!" Du Jiuyan said: "But the law is outside the law, and the situation is inside. Your lord can determine the punishment according to his discretion. She is wrong, but the crime does not deserve death, she should be punished, but it is definitely not the death penalty."

He Cheng still wanted to speak, but Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you don't have to quarrel with the students. You just need to write down every detail in today's courtroom and send it to the capital. Naturally, someone will judge for you!"

"Some things are not something that you can deny now, and you can decide if you don't agree." Du Jiuyan said.

He Cheng sneered and said, "Do you think that the court will consider Ma Yuniang in this case and change it to a lighter sentence?"

"Yes!" Du Jiuyan said: "The students believe that the court will change the sentence of Ma Yuniang."

He Cheng was disdainful, and turned to look at Wu Dianyin.

Wu Dianyin and him nodded slightly, and said: "You have someone sort out the files tonight, send them to the government office tomorrow, and send them to the capital immediately."

"Thank you, Master Wu!" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands!

Wu Dianyin looked at Du Jiuyan, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Why do you think that the court will re-sentence and change the sentence?"

　A hundred years ago, the law revised by the patriarch was full of loopholes in the long years, in order to prove that he had been here, the descendants of the grandchildren revised it...
