Saint of the Confucian way

Fang Yun's face was cold and solemn, totally different from his usual friendly face, and his eyes even had a chill into the bone marrow.

"Well, I already know. But..." Fang Yun said while turning over the documents in front of him, "according to the information of our county government, did your Diao family buy Wang Xiaocui from others?"

Diao nengchen hurriedly said, "this is nonsense. Wang Xiaocui is Xiaomin's wife who is married by the matchmaker. It is evidenced by the village head and the village elders. According to the ancient rites, this is the matchmaker's marriage."

"Since the matchmaker is married, has the woman's family ever been there?"

"We invited the woman's family, but none of them came, and we had nothing to do." Diao nengchen said.

"Someone, send the woman's family to the court!"

Six or seven people walked into the main hall. A woman sobbed. The other men looked at Diao nengchen and others, with a flame of hatred in their eyes.

A middle-aged man over 40 threw a fist at Fang Yun with a sad face and said: "Fang Xusheng, please make your own decisions for Xiaomin! My daughter Xiaocui was just going out of the city to play together. Who knows, she was robbed by human traffickers. We searched all over Mizhou and couldn't find her. Not long ago, the official told us that Xiaocui was in Changxi village. Our couple went there. We didn't even see Xiaocui's face, so we were kicked out. An old man told us that we must not go to Changxi village again. There are many people We may have been killed, so we have been trying to find someone, but we are a civilian home. Where to find someone, we can only wait for the news from the county government at home... "

The man kept holding back his tears, but in the end, his tears flowed silently. He shed tears not only because of his daughter's death, but also because of his incompetence.

How can an ordinary person fight against such a powerful enemy?

"I knew I wouldn't let Xiaocui go outside the city..." the woman cried even more.

Fang Yun said kindly, "aunt, don't say that. You're right, and Xiaocui is right. It's the traffickers who are wrong, and it's the local officials who are wrong! Since Xiaocui's parents believe that Xiaocui was kidnapped and forced to marry, I will sentence her..."

Fang Yun suddenly changed his face, slapped a startling picture, looked at Diao nengchen and said, "Diao nengchen, a villager of Changxi village, who bought the kidnapped woman, was fined 300 liang of silver and sentenced to one year's imprisonment; forced the people's Queen Xiaocui to be his wife and sentenced to three years' imprisonment; repeatedly forced the mob queen Xiaocui, the circumstances were serious, the consequences were bad, the crimes were superimposed, and the sentence was executed!"

After Fang Yun's sentencing, there was silence. Neither the legalist staff sitting near Fang Yun nor the Yamen standing nearby, neither Diao nengchen's family nor Wang Xiaocui's family, nor the outside officials or witnesses could understand the strange judgment.

Even Tang Hanlin was stunned.

The trial of Fang Yun's case was much shorter than before. After going to court, he just looked through the case file and heard the testimony of both sides. It was a little rash, and the final judgment was unprecedented!

Human traffickers can be caught every year in the Terran countries, but the laws of countries in the Shengyuan continent are different. Some countries, like ancient China, impose capital punishment on human traffickers and kill them when they are caught, but some countries do not kill them, but only impose heavy sentences.

Jingguo is one of the countries that do not kill traffickers, let alone those who buy Women.

However, Ning'an county is a pilot of the punishment hall, and Fang Yun has the right to act first and then act. As long as there is no objection between the punishment hall and the three law departments, his judgment will be effective, and can be cited by other officials as the sentencing standard.

"Dog officer! Dog officer! You don't care about human life! You dog Officer..." Diao's mother rushed to Fang Yun like crazy, bypassed the table and reached out to scratch Fang Yun's face.

Before she could get close, Fang Yun put his courage to stop her. Then he patted a startling tree and said, "take this man quickly! This man not only roared at the court, but also kidnapped and trafficked people, but also intended to attack the county. It is a great crime! He must be a ferocious person, and he must not be given a light sentence because of his old age! Put the old woman in prison, take strict care of her, and try her again!"

The Yamen guards on both sides rushed over and grabbed Diao's mother.

Diao's mother immediately began to be naughty and said loudly, "I'm not alive! I'm not alive! I'm going to crash and die here. I don't believe that the sage's eyes are blind, and I don't believe that the Terran has no royal law! Don't stop me, I'm going to crash and die in Ning'an County Yamen!"

Fang Yun suddenly said, "let go and let her hit!"

The two yamen servants hesitated and let go of their hands.

Diao's mother was stunned and others present were stunned. What county magistrate is this?

"Good! Good! Good! I didn't expect such a bad official in Ning'an County! I'll hit the pillar to die for you!" the Diao mother rushed to the red pillar in the main hall, banged it, then fell to the ground and didn't speak any more.

The Diao family rushed up and cried loudly.

Fang Yun was unmoved because he saw Diao's mother stop for a moment at the moment of impact, and the impact was not very heavy.

"Come on, pull this man out for treatment, and then put him in prison! Anyone who obstructs him will be driven away with a wooden stick!"

"Yes!" many yamen soldiers rushed over and drove the Diao family away.

Then, one of the two yamen servants grabbed Diao's mother's wrist and dragged out. These old yamen servants knew what the county official meant by "pulling out".

The Diao mother closed her eyes and bit her teeth. She was dragged out without saying a word.

"Dog officer! Give back my mother's order and I'll fight with you!" Diao nengchen shouted, but he didn't dare to move forward.

"Come here, this man roared in the court and wanted to attack my official. He pulled out and beat 40 boards again!" Fang Yun threw down a sign.

The Yamen immediately rushed forward, escorted Diao nengchen outside the hall, stripped his pants and beat him severely with a stick.

Pa... Pa... Pa

With all their strength, these yamen servants only hit 20 boards, and the stick was interrupted. Then a new stick was used to break Diao nengchen's bones and make him faint.

The rest of the Diao family had seen such a cruel official. They were too frightened to say a word and knelt on the ground trembling.

Wang Xiaocui's family was very excited and gnashed their teeth. They only hated playing less.

Tang Hanlin stepped into the main hall, bowed his hand to Fang Yun and said, "Fang Xusheng, I have something to ask for advice."

"But it doesn't hurt to say." Fang Yun looked at Tang Hanlin. He stayed in Ning'an city and helped himself many times. However, as the Hanlin of the punishment hall, his duty is to stand up at this time. Fang Yun doesn't blame him.

"Why should we be sentenced for buying women? This is unprecedented in Shengyuan."

Fang Yun said, "people who buy people should know that human trafficking is guilty. They should know that the law cannot force people to buy. Now that they have done it, they must bear legal responsibility. Moreover, the same crime of buying and selling can effectively reduce human trafficking."

Tang Hanlin said, "I see. County magistrate Fang is right, but it's up to the punishment hall to decide. As for the final death penalty, is it open to discussion?"

Fang Yun pointed to the Diao Neng minister outside and asked, "hasn't he repeatedly raped and raped women? Can't he be sentenced to death for such a crime according to the law?"

Tang Hanlin was speechless, and even everyone present felt that Fang Yun's words could not be refuted.

Until this time, all people realized that those abducted women, who had not been abused and raped? Why is it that other people's rape and violence will be sentenced to heavy punishment or even death, and the behavior of people who buy Women is more heinous, but they will not be sentenced to death?

Those people are not only buying others, but also a group of violent criminals who commit crimes continuously!

Such a simple truth, many people had never thought of before.

Some officials looked at Fang Yun and suddenly realized that Fang Xusheng's eyes had far exceeded the limit that ordinary people could see, as if they had penetrated time and space.

Tang Hanlin sighed and said, "but the Terran had no such precedent before."

"There was no you or me before the Terran!" Fang Yun said.

Tang Hanlin admitted that if you look at Diao nengchen's women buyers from another angle, you will find that their crimes are almost as deep as those of human traffickers!

Tang Hanlin said helplessly, "Fang Xusheng, it's true that such a heavy sentence is justified. However, don't forget that if these people are sentenced to death, once they do these things, they will kill those women in order to prevent leakage, which may harm more people."

Fang Yun said, "it is well known that there is no death penalty in the state of cloud. Therefore, the proportion of murderers per million people in the state of cloud is more than ten times that in other countries! While the state of Wu, which has strict laws, because there are many death penalty, the proportion of murderers per million people is far lower than that in the state of cloud. Is that true?"

"It's true indeed." Tang Hanlin said helplessly.

"I have also heard of a survey that many people will hesitate to do the same crime if they are not sentenced to death. If they are sentenced to death, most of them will not do it. Is it true?"

"It's true," said Tang Hanlin.

"I believe that as long as there is the threat and deterrence of the death penalty, the number of people buying human beings will be greatly reduced. Without buyers, the number of people trafficking in human beings will also be greatly reduced. Of course, this crime can not be officially promulgated until everyone knows. In order to avoid being killed by human trafficking, heavy punishment will not be fully implemented until it is officially promulgated."

"But... Why can't we use more gentle means?" Tang Hanlin said.

Fang Yun suddenly ignored Tang Hanlin and looked at the sky outside the door.

"I also asked myself if I could use more gentle and reasonable means to prevent the Terrans from killing each other. In fact, this is already very gentle, because my means to stop the demon barbarians are 100 times more cruel! The demon barbarians will not give us so long to gently deal with these contradictions, and I don't have so much time to waste on these scum who drag the Terrans back. They can afford it , Terrans can't afford it! "

Tang Hanlin looked at Fang Yun and couldn't speak for a long time.

A Diao family suddenly shouted, "it's not that we want to buy a population, but that we can't marry a daughter-in-law at all. If we don't buy it, how can we have children? How can we reproduce the human race?"

Fang Yun said, "you have needs, you have * *, but no matter what, you should not hurt others to meet your needs!"

"We are all forced, and we can't help it! If we had everything, we wouldn't do such a thing."

Fang Yun looked at the Diao family coldly and said slowly: "There was once a man who lost his arms when he was born. After his parents left the two mountains, they entrusted him to his relatives. Then his parents completely lost contact. His relatives were very poor, and it was the limit to provide him with food. In addition, nothing could help him. Such a pitiful person, not to mention marrying a daughter-in-law, he couldn't even hold his pen. He was a thousand times worse than you However, he did not buy a daughter-in-law, nor did he hurt others. "

Fang Yun took a deep breath and continued: "He attends classes outside other people's schools. He writes by biting branches with his teeth and writing with branches between his toes. Even if he becomes a Hanlin, all his teeth are crooked and his toes are twisted. His white eyes and ridicule never stop, his suffering and pain never break, and everything he bears is far more than you. According to your logic , he can kill all the people in the world! "

"But he didn't, not only didn't hurt innocent people, but even before he died, let me protect the people all over the world instead of him and let me protect you instead of him!"

"He is an example, but I want to tell you that minor crimes can be forgiven, but the reason why you commit major crimes is not because of your family, the environment, or how miserable you are, but because you are animals! You are scum! Because real people, even if they are 1000 times and 10000 times more miserable than you, will not hurt others!"

"Among the Terrans Peng asked me to protect, you beasts are not included!"

After Fang Yun finished, he paused for a moment, and Chunlei said, "all private soldiers, all soldiers, get ready immediately and go out of the city with my official!"
