Great Lawyer

Chapter 208 Lessons Learned ([-])

When Du Jiuyan came to Guo's house, Mrs. Guo and Guo Ting were very surprised.

Guo Tingdao: "...Yesterday afternoon, the prince brought Mrs. Ma to the palace. I was also surprised. At that time, I thought it was you who asked the prince to do this."

"Then you are planning to go to court now?" Mrs. Guo said, "Don't you say you can't be better than the best?"

Du Jiuyan said: "It's the next best thing to do. We can only take shortcuts when Prince Gui is here."

"If the prince can really help, it will definitely be more convenient than our detour." Mrs. Guo said.

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"I'll wait for you to come back at home." Mrs. Guo stood at the door to see them off.

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan, Jiang Shi and Tao Shi said, "Let's go."

"Yes!" The five people smiled and followed Du Jiuyan in a good mood.

"Mr. Du, do you still want to take off your clothes today?" Jin Rong asked.

Du Jiuyan said: "No need. You should not go to court."

"Is there still a need to cry?"

"Crying, crying so miserable!" Du Jiuyan and Aunt Jiang said: "You cry the best, and you will take the lead when the time comes."

Aunt Jiang covered her face with a smile and said, "Sir, I like to make fun of my concubine."

"I can do it too." Jin Rong said, "I have studied hard with my aunt these days."

The five people walked towards Dali Temple while talking.

Dali Temple was beating drums to raise the hall, and the people of Yanjing stood by the roadside, discussing the case and waiting for the result.

It seems that this matter has become the last thing of this year, and when it is done, it will be the New Year.

"Do you want melon seeds?" Suddenly, two children with snacks appeared, one with a beautiful face, eight or nine years old, and the other white and tender, four or five years old, "This bag only costs two pennies. It's boring to squat here, pass the time. "

"This kid is really capable. He knows how to make money by doing business at such a young age."

The two people's business is very good, and the stock they brought will be sold out in a while, and they are about to leave, when someone suddenly said: "Prince Gui is here."

Everyone said, stepping aside one after another, watching King Gui enter Dali Temple in a hurry.

"Didn't it mean that Du Litigation Master has been found? Why hasn't he come yet?" As soon as everyone finished speaking, someone suddenly called out, "Here it is...that is Bao Qinglai's Litigation Master Du Jiuyan."

"Who is behind her?"

"It must be a woman from Li's mansion involved in the case. I heard that there are many concubines in Li's house."

It was the first time Du Jiuyan appeared in the eyes of the people in Yanjing. She cupped her hands all the way, nodded and said, "Du Jiuyan from Shaoyang, good morning everyone."

"Hello, Mr. Du."

"Mr. Du, are you confident today?"

"Yes." Du Jiuyan said: "The way of heaven is fair, and it will definitely give us a good result."

"However, in the future, everyone will encounter some difficult problems in daily life, and try to use gentle means to solve them. For example, find a lawyer."

"A litigator is an essential friend in everyone's life."

"Mr. Du is so humorous. Are you still in Yanjing?"

"I will definitely come again. If you go to Baoqing in the future, you can go to see me. Someone from Du will definitely entertain me warmly."

Everyone smiled and agreed, although they would definitely not go, and even if they did go, it would be impossible to find Du Jiuyan, but everyone was very happy to hear what she said.

"Mr. Du, I wish you success soon!"

"This case will definitely be won, Ma Yuniang is too pitiful, then Li Zhi deserves to die." Everyone said.

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and led Jiang and others into Dali Temple.

The time was just right, the three adults were sitting in the courtroom together with the prince, and four tables surrounded the courtroom of Dali Temple in a strange semicircle. King Gui looked at Du Jiuyan while knocking melon seeds.

Ma Yuniang knelt down below.

As the county magistrate, He Cheng was standing under the hall with his bruised and swollen face.

"Student Du Jiuyan, pay homage to the prince, three adults."

Master Wu glanced at her.Now he began to wonder if Du Jiuyan hid it by himself. Otherwise, the soldiers and horses searched all over the sky yesterday and couldn't find it. Why did King Gui find it alone?

According to the investigation, King Gui and Du Jiuyan knew each other.

Master Wu was about to speak, but King Gui had already spoken in front of him and said, "Well, let's start the argument."

"Yes!" Du Jiuyan clapped his hands in agreement.

Master Wu was startled, looked at King Gui, his mouth trembling, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow behind and say, "Let's argue."

"My lords, the course of the case and the witnesses have been stated very clearly in the file. The students don't want to say anything more today, so as not to waste your time." Du Jiuyan said, cupping his hands at everyone, and said: "The students only say two things. thing."

As she spoke, she shook out a piece of paper and handed it to He Cheng, "Excuse me, Mr. He, please help me."

No matter how unhappy He Cheng was, he still agreed.

The two of them worked together to open a huge piece of rice paper, and saw densely packed handprints and signatures on it.

"On this piece of paper are the joint fingerprints of the people of Baoqing. I would like to plead for Ma Yuniang's life and ask the court for a lighter sentence!" Du Jiuyan said: "There are a total of 710 people's fingerprints, which are also the voices of 710 people."

"Please take a look, my lords."

Du Jiuyan handed over the things, and before the three adults could speak, King Gui said, "I'm so touched, I'm so touched!"

The three adults looked at King Gui in astonishment.

To be moved is to be moved, but you don't have to be so exaggerated.

"It seems that Ma Yuniang has a very good relationship in Baoqing, otherwise there would not be so many people helping her." King Gui said, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, "It's really a poor person."

In the hall, there was silence.

Everyone looked at King Gui, puzzled, surprised and at a loss...

"Yes." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you are kind-hearted, so what you see is naturally the bright side of this world. You will surely live a long and healthy life, with many blessings."

For the first time, Master Wu and Qian Shilang put aside their previous suspicions and looked at each other...

King Gui was kind, so he was moved and cried. In other words, if they didn't cry, they were not kind?
"Yeah." King Gui wiped his tears like an old lady listening to a sad drama, "You continue."

Du Jiuyan said: "Secondly, the five witnesses of Li's mansion are able to survive and stand here safely because of Ma Yuniang's protection. Moreover, it was Li who handled the action that night. Speaking of which, Ma Yuniang was just forced to Therefore, her homicide, whether it is human or legal, should give her a more lenient attitude. It should not just be recognized that she killed someone, regardless of why she killed someone, and whether she brought any harm after killing. There have been some positive impacts."

"Killing, where does the positive influence come from?" Mr. Xie from the Metropolitan Procuratorate asked.

Du Jiuyan clasped his hands and replied: "This influence is to tell the men in the world that those who abuse their wives and children will be publicly resented by the people of the world. Even if there is no law to punish him, he will definitely get the retribution he deserves."

"A month ago, I told the Shaoyang county government that Li Zhi abused his wives and concubines, and beat them with brutal methods. Everyone was shocked when they heard it. Why?"

"Because Li Zhi is trying his best to cover it up. In order to cover it up, he even ordered that his wives and concubines not communicate with the neighbors. He is afraid, he is afraid that his colleagues and friends will find out about his domestic abuse? Why is Li Zhi, who is shameless and cruel, Do you want to cover it up too?"

"Because he knows very well that what he did was wrong and he knows it's a shame!"

"So, after uncovering Li Zhi's human skin, the people of Baoqing pulled his corpse out of the grave, whipped the corpse, crushed the bones, and scattered the ashes!"

Someone exclaimed.

It's something no one wants to be defeated.

"Now, his name, Li Zhi, has been nailed into the hearts of Baoqing and even the people of the world. Life after life, as long as Li Zhi is mentioned, he will think that he has a human face and a beast's heart. He deserves to die!"

"My lord." Du Jiuyan and everyone clasped their hands together, "This is the positive impact of this case. When there is no law to punish domestic violence, it can only make them feel scared and ashamed, and make them worry day and night. One day his sins will be exposed, and he will be crushed."

"Li Zhi's today is the tomorrow of those who have a human face and a beast's heart, and he is the mirror of these people!"

"Abusing wives and children, and domestic violence will end in a terrible death!" Du Jiuyan said word by word.

A woman outside shouted in a low voice, "Mr. Du is right!"

Immediately, someone applauded, "Okay! Martyr Baoqing did the right thing. If I were here, I would also crush him and drag him to the dogs."

There was applause, Master Wu frowned, and was about to speak when King Gui suddenly stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Okay, yes, wonderful!"

"If the domestic violence dies, this king will reward the righteous man who has lost his bones and ashes."

Master Wu didn't breathe evenly, and coughed.

"Taizu ruled the country with the law, and also established the law of domestic violence. Whenever a man domestically abuses his wife, children and parents, his family will come to report the injury and sentence him, ranging from torture to beheading."

"If the law hadn't been abolished, Li Zhi would have died a hundred times already." King Gui said loudly.

Mr. Wu's face is extremely ugly, but Qian Shilang is very happy... Today's trial is so interesting.

King Gui and Du Jiuyan clearly planned it early, so they sang together here.

Until now, Master Wu has not even had the chance to speak.

Interesting, really interesting.

"Yes, my lord." Du Jiuyan nodded, "You are right!"

Master Wu wanted to shoot the gavel, King Gui suddenly turned his head and looked at Master Wu, "What are you still doing, close the case."

"My lord." Daren Wu said, "You...you are making trouble."

"This king is helping justice, you say this king is making trouble?!" Gui Wang said angrily, "Wu Tongyi, are you also domestically abusing your wife and children? I will go to your house to investigate tomorrow. If I find out, this king will also beat you up." Hui, as a warning to others!"

Wu Daqi's face turned pale and he was on the verge of falling.

"It should be investigated!" Qian Shilang muttered.

Master Wu was furious and stared at Qian Shilang.

"Master Wu," Qian Shilang pointed to the people outside, "What objection do you have?"

Master Wu was stunned for a moment, but the applause outside was still there, and some people even shouted, "Ma Yuniang is not dead, Ma Yuniang is innocent."

"My lord is merciful, my lord is a wise king!" Someone shouted.

Master Wu was stunned. If he...if he objected, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the Holy Majesty?

"Let's close the case." Qian Shilang smiled, got up and said, "Although Ma Yuniang is guilty of killing her husband, she has been tortured for many years, and under extreme oppression and fear, she made an act of resistance. On the night of the incident, the deceased Li Burning Ma Yuniang with boiling hot chicken soup already shows that the deceased has obvious killing intent. The death of the Savior's wet nurse, Qiao Shi, is enough proof."

"Ma Yuniang killed Li Zhi in grief and indignation. After the murder, she immediately surrendered to the police and confessed her guilt."

"That's why, after being interrogated by the third division, I thought it was pitiful and helpless, so I followed the suggestion of the defendant lawyer Du Jiuyan to pay thirty taels of silver."

Outside Dali Temple, there were cheers like boiling.

"However, this case is due to the great grace of the emperor, so treat it as an individual case. Everyone must not follow suit."

"I also use this case as a warning to men all over the world. Those who are useless only use their wives and children to vent their anger. Such a person will be despised by the world, and one day he will get retribution and get the punishment he deserves."

After the words fell, a few people outside the door suddenly took the lead and shouted, "Long live the Holy Spirit!"

Under their leadership, all the people fell to the ground, bowed to the imperial city to the north, and shouted long live.

Its voice is so loud that it can be heard clearly even in the imperial city.

Ma Yuniang looked at Du Jiuyan with disbelief and joy in her eyes.

"Thank you." Du Jiuyan said, and thanked Ma Yuniang for the grace together!
Qian Shilang smiled slightly, looked at Mr. Wu proudly, and said, "This case is not over yet, next is the case of Mr. Li's embezzlement and bribery."

Master Wu was startled and narrowed his eyes.

"There are ready-made witnesses." Qian Shilang looked at Ma Yuniang, "Although a woman cannot go to court, the principal culprit is dead. Her testimony is very important."

Master Wu sneered, "Then we'll see!"

Said, walked away.

King Gui leaned back on the chair triumphantly, the melon seeds in his mouth were crackling.

"Ma Yuniang, hurry up and receive the punishment, and you can leave after it's over," Qian Shilang said.

Ma Yuniang answered in a low voice with tears in her eyes, Du Jiuyan helped her lie on the bench, the thirty bamboo boards were not heavy, after the end Du Jiuyan handed over ten taels of silver on her behalf, and helped her out.

He Cheng stood where he was, sweating profusely.

He's confused... Is he doing something wrong, or is he doing something right?
"Du Jiuyan." He Cheng chased him out, and said coldly, "Your purpose is the joint trial of the three divisions, isn't it?"

There is nothing that cannot be said to others, Du Jiu said: "Yes."

"In this case, you knew from the very beginning that it would not work to follow the law. The only way is to come to the capital and take a slanted sword?" He Cheng asked.

Du Jiuyan said: "Yes!"

Above the law, Ma Yuniang's crime could not escape death even with a light sentence, so she shocked the world from the beginning, comparing Li Zhi to a cow, in order to arouse controversy in the court and the emperor's attention.

Only in this way can they have a chance when they come.

Law is the rule, emotion is the foundation.

In modern times, I dare not think about this matter, but under the rule of the imperial power, I can fight for it.

"Okay, very good." He Cheng said: "You are also a scholar, but you despise the life of a scholar for the sake of a woman. The impact of this case will definitely make you regret it."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency will regret the impact of this case on you."

"You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." He Cheng said, and walked away.

Du Jiuyan stepped forward to support Ma Yuniang, "Madam, can you still bear it?"

"I can bear it." Ma Yuniang excitedly held Du Jiuyan's hand, "Thank you for saving my life, Mrs. Ma..."

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "This is Madam's blessing, and has nothing to do with me. However, in this life, Jiuyan is presumptuous as a younger generation, Madam should be stronger and decisive."

"Sir, that's what you said." Ma Yuniang said, "In these days in prison, I often recall this life. Before my father died, he told me not to follow Li Zhi's wishes, but I didn't listen."

"Now that I think about it, since he is married into my Ma family, he is a member of my Ma family. It should be up to me to decide whether to let him study or go into business."

"Later, when he became an official, I thought of his reputation and repeatedly compromised. But he never came to disregard my life or death."

"Because of my weakness, I harmed my daughter, Jin Xiu and the others, and several aunts." Ma Yuniang smiled bitterly, "I cannot escape the responsibility for Li Zhi's behavior."

Du Jiuyan smiled and said: "This is the end of the matter, Madam can just reflect on it, and don't worry about it. Those who have gone have gone, but those who are alive must live well, so that they can be worthy of those who care about you."

"Yes!" Ma Yuniang said: "Mr. is so young, but he lives so clearly, and I am nearly half a hundred years old, but I don't know what to do. I am really ashamed."

Du Jiuyan said: "Madam is too modest."

When the two of them went out, the people outside did not retreat. They rushed over and cupped their hands, saying: "Congratulations to Mr. Du for winning this lawsuit, and congratulations to Madam for getting rid of her grievances and being reborn after the catastrophe."

"Thank you!" Ma Yuniang thanked, and the maids and aunts around her rushed over to help her. They didn't go to the hall just now, so they stayed outside the hall, and now they are all crying.

They supported Ma Yuniang, and Du Jiuyan said, "Go home and give her medicine. I'll talk about anything else when I go."

Everyone should be, helped Ma Yuniang into the carriage where Mrs. Guo was waiting, and went home happily.

"Mr. Du, will you stay in the capital? There is Yanjing Litigation Firm in the capital, which is much more powerful than the southwest of Shaoyang."

　Ma Yuniang survived, although it was the result of me, the author YY, but as the author, I was slightly angry.

　　Well, I don't know what to say, I wish everyone a happy family and world peace!
