Chapter 834 The Best Legal Education

The gates of Kyoto were wide open, and many people rushed towards the Imperial Street.

Li Ailian and her companions booked the second floor of an inn, from which they could overlook the case on Imperial Street clearly.

"I've already told you there's nothing to see, but you insisted on coming to see it. You're either putting on a show or you're protecting your own people. There's nothing to guess."

The young man kept complaining and looked downstairs, where there were huge crowds of people, just like a big market during the New Year.

"Hey, who doesn't like to join in the fun? Look, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple is here too!" Someone pointed outside the window.

Diagonally opposite them, the window on the second floor was open, and the figure of the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple could be seen.

Someone touched Li Ailian's arm and winked at him: "Aren't you from that damn Sunshine Government Affairs Office? Why don't you go downstairs and take a look?"

Li Ailian rolled her eyes.

He is not a fool, he will not suffer for nothing. He can see clearly from upstairs, why should he go to the Imperial Street and squeeze with a large group of people?

When the time came, the trumpet sounded.

Gu Nanxi, wearing silver-white armor, climbed up the temporary platform step by step.

Today, Gu Nanxi did not smile like usual, but had a cold expression and exuded a majestic and murderous aura.

The sound of the horn gradually stopped, and the surroundings became quiet.

Li Ailian and others who were originally playing around also shut their mouths tightly in such an atmosphere.

The Jinyiwei and Yunzhou soldiers stood on both sides, scanning the crowd with eager eyes.

Many people who still wanted to squeeze forward and watch the excitement immediately lowered their heads and stayed where they were.

After a few drum beats, Gu Nanxi stood up and walked to the center of the stage.

"I know there are many rumors about me and the Yunzhou soldiers. Some say we killed people without mercy, some say we raped and plundered, and some say we didn't harm the people at all. There are good and bad rumors."

Gu Nanxi chuckled: "People in Kyoto who are familiar with me know what kind of person I am, but many people don't know. Today, right here, I will openly and clearly tell everyone that I am a person who follows the rules and abides by the law!"

"Come here, tell everyone, what are the eight disciplines of our Yunzhou army?"

Old man Geng stepped out of the line, his voice full of energy, and he said in a powerful voice: "The first rule: I will be loyal to Yunzhou. The second rule: I will not demolish houses even if I freeze to death, and I will not rob even if I starve to death. The third rule..."

As soon as the eight points of discipline were mentioned, everyone couldn't help but start discussing.

"Is there really such an army? Even the Imperial Guards can't follow these eight rules."

"I think he is definitely bragging. Soldiers are just scoundrels. Soldiers and scoundrels are inseparable. We have suffered enough from the chaos of the army. Haven't we suffered enough?"

"Shh! Are you going to die? Don't say anything, just see what's going on first."

Gu Nanxi waved his hand and said, "Bring them up!"

A large group of soldiers were stripped of their armor, their hands tied behind their backs, and brought over.

There were too many people to stand on the stage, so they lined up and waited under the stage.

Yang Lan looked angry. He turned his head and looked around, and finally found Su Xuanming on the left side of the stage.

He saw Yang Laosi again in the crowd, they looked at each other, and his heart dropped slightly.

Gu Nanxi took off his armor and said, "The first person to be punished is me, Gu Nanxi! As the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou, I failed to discipline my subordinates, so I should be the first to be punished."

Old man Geng moved his lips, met Duke Yun's firm gaze, and said loudly: "If you don't discipline your subordinates strictly, you will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."

In fact, how could it be Duke Yun's turn to be punished?

Above every soldier there is a sergeant, a squad leader, or at the very least, a general.

If every soldier who made a mistake was held responsible to Duke Yun, several lives would not be enough to punish them.

There was an uproar at the scene.

"No way?! Are you really going to punish me? Duke Yun is being too harsh on himself."

"It must be fake. My uncle used to be in charge of beating people with sticks in the government office. He knows a lot of tricks. It looks like a heavy blow, but it's actually just like a slap in the face. If you put a cushion inside, there won't be any swelling."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yunzhou soldier in charge of the execution swung the board hard, and in an instant, Duke Yun's face turned pale.

"Oh my God, it's real!"

On the second floor, the young man sneered, "See, I was right. She was just putting on a show to win people's hearts! Look at those fools below. They are really moved. Just wait and see. The next scene will definitely be her or Su Dalang taking the punishment for Yang Lan."

The young man made a very clear analysis: "This will not only win the support of the people, but also make Yang Lan completely devoted to them. Besides, Yang Lan attempted rape and the victim was a former prostitute. If we go easy on her and give her a lenient sentence, she won't even have to go to jail."

The young man put his hand on Li Ailian's shoulder, opened his folding fan, and said jokingly: "Ailian, even if you enter the Sunshine Government Affairs Office, you will have no way to deal with such reasonable means."

Li Ailian pushed his hand away and frowned, "Don't use the same tactics that lawyers usually use on me. The Great Zhou has been suppressing lawyers for so long, and you haven't given up the idea of ​​becoming a lawyer of Song yet?"

The young man said nonchalantly: "Fighting with people is endless fun. Fighting with the law is even more fun."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was not easy to become a lawyer.

Lawyers need to be proficient in the format, wording and techniques of lawsuits, and be able to transform the client's claims into legal documents that meet official requirements, have clear logic and are even inflammatory.

Sometimes a good complaint can directly affect the outcome of a lawsuit.

Lawyers must also be familiar with the operation of government offices and judicial procedures, and even know how to respond to government interrogations and how to exploit the other party's loopholes.

But in the eyes of the government, lawyers have a very bad image and are often called "rioters."

In the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the emperor's edicts, there are often provisions prohibiting "instigating litigation", "litigation" and "rioters", and these people will be punished with caning, shackles or even exile.

The boy was used to being treated with prejudice and was not angry at all.

On the stage, the sticks hit one after another, as if hitting people's hearts.

Gu Nanxi was beaten so badly that his skin was torn and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Lumei was holding the medicine, waiting anxiously.

When the twenty sticks were completely beaten, she ran up, tears streaming down her face: "Master, I will apply medicine for you."

"No rush, let's do the business first." Gu Nanxi was supported by someone, and every breath she took was burning with pain.

She had been in the book for so long, but she had never been beaten with a military stick.

Now that we are being beaten, we must maximize the effect.

She endured the pain and turned to the crowd: "The laws of Yunzhou are different from those of Dazhou. The laws are stricter and there are also channels for appeal! If you encounter any injustice, just go to the government office and file a complaint. If the government office doesn't intervene, they will be the ones who get beaten!"

After saying this, she turned back to her seat and began today's work of judging cases and popularizing the law.

Reviewed and revised again...

Ahhh, I have been making revisions like crazy these days.
