Saint of the Confucian way

The officials present looked at Ji Zhibai in surprise. Many people almost blurted out the same words.

"Are you crazy?" Ao Huang said the voice of all the officials.

In the confrontation between Fang Yun and the left party, the left party was inferior before, but it always used officialdom to deal with Fang Yun, and Fang Yun fought back with his own ability. But now Ji knows that Bai, in order to surpass Fang Yun, went to the battle naked on behalf of the suspect.

Even some officials of the original leftist party felt that Ji Zhibai had passed this time.

Ji Zhibai said frankly, "I'm the inspector of Mizhou. In order to protect the harmony among my colleagues, I should avoid fighting with the county magistrate. However, the palace shopkeeper is not only the people in the place I visited, but also the people in the place I ruled last year. He was wronged and asked me for help. I was reluctant to make it difficult and ask for orders for the people."

Ao Huang whispered, "Fang Yun, can this dragon curse?"

This is the court. Fang Yun forbids Ao Huang to speak indiscriminately.

"No," Fang Yun said.

"The Dragon stopped talking." Ao Huang stared at Ji Zhibai angrily.

Fang Yun patted the startled wood and shouted, "who is standing under the hall!"

The palace shopkeeper looked at Ji Zhibai.

Ji Zhibai bowed his hand and said, "the shopkeeper of the palace regretted and blamed himself for killing his wife and children. He was overwhelmed with grief. He privately revealed to me that it was the limit and it was difficult to speak in the court. Therefore, I will report it on behalf of him."

The palace shopkeeper immediately lowered his head and wiped his eyes without tears.

Fang Yun's hand left the startled wood and said, "is it possible that the master of the plan knows everything about the palace family?"

"I don't dare to say it like the back of my hand, but shopkeeper Gong once cried and said some reasons." Ji Zhibai said.

Fang Yun's face sank and looked at Yu Bachi. Yu Bachi immediately said, "lower officer, I'll find out who sent irrelevant people to see the prisoner!"

Ji Zhibai opened his fan and gently fanned it with complacency. He said, "cell leader Ji has something to do with me. He has made a small mistake and is ready to quit his job. You don't have to worry about leaving Ning'an city right away. Oh, by the way, I also made a small mistake. I shouldn't go into the cell to see the palace shopkeeper. I will ask for a crime and punish my salary for one month."

Ao Huang saw Ji Zhibai's elated appearance. He was so angry that he wanted to burn Ji Zhibai with a mouthful of Longyan.

Fang Yun's face remained unchanged and said, "Yu Dianshi stayed here. As for Ji Zhibai's dereliction of duty, I'll make a detailed investigation afterwards." after that, Fang Yun looked at Ji Zhibai. Mizhou has been operated by the left party for decades, and Ning'an county is the top priority. It's normal for a prison head to take refuge in Ji Zhibai.

"Yes!" Yu Bachi held back his anger and looked at Ji Zhibai. He clenched his fists. Ji Zhibai went to prison under his eyes. It was a great humiliation to him.

"Then please answer my question," Fang Yun said.

Ji Zhibai smiled and said, "this is the palace shopkeeper of Kaiyuan grain shop, who is responsible for the size of the grain shop. Originally..."

Fang Yun slapped the startled wood and interrupted Ji Zhibai's words. He said, "you can answer whatever I ask. Ji won't even understand this rule."

"Excuse me, Mr. Fang, but I also have a question. It was originally a family matter. According to the law, it should be decided by the county magistrate after consultation by the palace family. Why do you take the initiative to try the case? Not to mention, you don't even have a plaintiff! What do you say, everyone?" Ji Zhibai turned and looked outside the door.

The people of the Gong family immediately expressed their support, but Gong Liu's family was silent and dared to be angry.

Fang Yun angrily shouted: "absurd! Human life is crucial. Is it also the palace family? The two dead are not only the people of the palace family, but also the people of the kingdom of Jing, but also the people under my rule! Although there is no plaintiff in this case, I have the right to correct it!"

Ji Zhi smiled on Bai Baijing's face and said, "since county magistrate Fang corrected this matter, I understand. However, even if the three members of the palace family are human, it is ultimately a matter of the family. What's more, this is the accidental injury of the palace shopkeeper after drinking, not killing. According to the law, it should be determined by the patriarchal clan law, not by the national law."

Fang Yun said, "if it is accidental injury, it is naturally determined by the patriarchal clan system, but if it is killed, it is determined by the national law!"

Ji Zhibai said with a smile, "Your Excellency said yes, but this case is a manslaughter. Shopkeeper Gong, do you want to kill your wife and children, or just vent your anger with your wife and children because the grain shop is closing?"

The palace shopkeeper immediately shook his head and said, "I don't want to kill my wife and children. In addition to drinking, I do it because I have no livelihood and am extremely depressed. I take my wife and children out of anger. Heaven and earth conscience, I really don't want to kill them!"

Ji Zhibai looked up and said, "Lord Fang, did you hear that? The palace shopkeeper didn't want to kill his wife and children. This case was caused by accidental injury caused by venting his anger because the grain shop was about to close!"

Fang Yun patted the startled wood and said, "take the neighbors of the palace family."

"Yes!"

He saw that the guards sent more than a dozen people to the court, all of them over the age of 10 and under the age of 90.

A legalist official arched his hand and said, "the lower officer has examined the eyes, ears, nose and memory of all witnesses, and can testify."

Fang Yun nodded, looked at more than a dozen neighbors of the palace shopkeeper and said, "have you ever heard the palace shopkeeper want to kill his wife and children? Have you ever heard of raising your right hand?"

All 16 people in the court raised their hands, including a 13-year-old child and an old man in his 70s.

Seeing this scene, the officials and yamen servicemen present felt a chill in the heart of the earth for no reason. Even Ao Huang was surprised.

Fang Yun said, "tell what you have heard one by one from left to right."

The middle-aged man on the far left bowed his hand to Fang Yun and said, "Xiaomin, report back to your excellency. The shopkeeper of the palace often says that he wants to kill his wife and children. It's really difficult to tell them one by one since he was a neighbor."

Fang Yun said, "then tell your memorable words as testimony."

"Yes, sir. I remember when the new year was coming last winter, I heard shopkeeper Gong scold while beating his wife:" you damn woman, if you hadn't been obedient, I would have killed you! You know, I can get away even if I kill you with some money! "And once, I heard him scold" killing you is just right, I'll change a new man ". The year before last …”

Ji Zhibai interrupted the witness and said, "Lord Fang, these words are angry words! For example, there is a swearing saying in Sichuan, which is called 'Japan's ancestors' Board', is it difficult for the swearing people to really get other people's ancestors' coffins? Angry words are just angry words, who hasn't said them? These angry words can't be used as evidence."

Fang Yun said, "master Ji's words are bad. Whether angry words can be used as evidence depends on whether they are unconscious because of anger or whether they think. When the palace shopkeeper hit people at that time, he thought clearly and carefully. Obviously, it was not unconscious angry words, but threatened Gong Liu with 'murder', and there was a real motive! The witness continued to answer."

The palace shopkeeper suddenly knelt down and shouted, "please distinguish clearly, I'll..."

Fang Yun shook his official seal, sealed the mouth of the palace shopkeeper and said, "the witness continues to answer."
