Finally it’s my turn, Su Zizhan, to take the stage.
It’s not easy!
For Su Shi, this is really not easy!
Last time he put in all his effort, and ended up sitting in the witness stand for less than a stick of incense, and then... nothing happened.
The other party's espionage agent didn't even want to mention him, and he was really depressed for a long time.
But God will not let down those who work hard!
The opportunity finally came.
When Su Shi became the first adjutant of the Prosecution Department, the first thing he did was to offend his future superior.
You have to know that it was already a foregone conclusion that Fan Chunren would become the first prosecutor. He was chosen at that time, and then he was sent here as a legal aid to accumulate experience.
This is a very Su Shi-like thing to do.
...
...
So, if Su Shi didn't go to Qiongzhou, who would go?
However, for those dignitaries, as long as this matter goes to court, they will lose, even if Wang Qun is acquitted in the end.
Because the essence of this matter is not whether it is illegal or not, but whether this law can control these high-ranking officials.
You have to know that this is just a very small matter, and if such a small matter has to be brought to court, then what about the dirty things they usually do?
Therefore, they tried their best to encourage Wang Chao from the very beginning to solve the problem with power and rush forward directly.
But Wang Chao is not stupid. How could he not know who is behind this matter when it has come to this point?
Unlike civil officials, a military general's official career is more controlled by the emperor.
He decisively chose to appeal.
Now that things have come to this, the dignitaries can only focus on this lawsuit, as it may be useful to everyone in the future.
At least for now, this judicial reform is coming with great force, and we have to find a way to avoid its edge.
This is also the first time that the Director of Public Prosecutions has initiated prosecution on behalf of the government.
Not only that, the presiding official was Lu Jiawen, who had just been promoted from the Kaifeng County Court.
He is also the youngest Silu recruit in the Silu Division.
Although Lu Jiawen has made many contributions to the judicial reform in Kaifeng County in the past three months, this is also an extraordinary promotion.
The reason was Wang Anshi's strong request.
Therefore, the Records Department and the Prosecution Department are facing considerable pressure.
At the same time, it also attracted the attention of almost all the people in the city.
This lawsuit also gave birth to a new judicial system.
Firstly, the existence of the Procuratorate means that the government cannot directly convict people and must go through litigation.
This is definitely a revolutionary change in the judicial world.
In addition, the romantic and talented Su Shi attracted a large number of female fans to watch the lawsuit.
However, to the disappointment of all the female fans present, the scene was one-sided from the very beginning.
"I object."
Li Lei shouted "I object" for the 38th time in this lawsuit. "This is a court, a place for factual evidence, and the other party is just imagining things."
Su Shi said excitedly: "I am just giving examples to prove my point."
Lu Jiawen felt a little embarrassed for Su Shi, and explained again: "In court, it is allowed to give examples, but they must be specific cases. Prosecutor Su believes that many yamen are arrogant and domineering on a daily basis, but he did not produce specific cases to prove this point."
Su Shi sat down depressed.
Lu Gong stroked his beard and smiled, "This kid performed quite well."
Of course, he was not praising Su Shi, but Lu Jiawen. Lu Jiawen was too young and he was very nervous before, wondering whether this kid could control the situation.
But I didn't expect that this guy was quite mature.
Compared with Su Shi, Lu Jiawen has tried no less than a hundred criminal and civil cases in Kaifeng County. Especially in recent times, he has basically been in charge of all the lawsuits in Kaifeng County and has rich experience.
Wen Yanbo whispered to Sima Guang, "Is Su Zizhan really qualified to be the deputy prosecutor?"
Sima Guang was also confused. How could Su Shi not be so unbearable? He said, "This is the first time to argue. It is inevitable that there will be some accidents. Let's wait and see."
This statement is obviously meant to comfort oneself.
As a little fan, Xu Zhiqian was also stunned, and couldn't help asking Zhang Fei beside him: "Zhang San, although this is Mr. Su's first time in court, he has seen many lawsuits and even been in court. How...how could this happen?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "There is a thing called habit. Although litigation is also a debate, it is still very different from their daily arguments. In fact, Fan Sijian also had this problem in the first two lawsuits. He liked to attack the other party's statements based on whether they were reasonable, and he wanted to refute every word of the other party.
But the ear pen in the court is stating facts in order to circumvent the law, not explaining the truth. Truth and law are actually two different things. Truth is in the heart, while law is on paper. Eloquence can change the truth in people's hearts, but no matter how powerful the eloquence is, it cannot change the words on paper. "
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly and asked again: "If it were you, how would you fight?"
Zhang Fei said: "The other party is obviously trying to take advantage of the fact that the imperial court's decrees are too hasty. It is impossible to win by competing with them on this point.
If I were Mr. Su, I would not care about Li Lei. I would concentrate on attacking Wang Qun. As long as I could find out what Wang Qun was thinking at the time, I could bring Wang Qun to justice based on the existing laws.
But Mr. Su was obviously stuck in a quagmire of arguing with others. He kept arguing with Li Lei about whether the military patrol station had the power to do this. Did the government's permission include setting up warning signs? There were too many loopholes in this regard, and it was impossible to win. "
While the two were chatting, the lawsuit had come to an end and both parties began their closing arguments.
First of all, Su Shi, although he was once sullen and silent due to opposition, when he stood up, his face was still full of confidence, which can only be said to be innate. M..
"At the time of the incident, several patrolmen in uniform hung a warning sign on a tree. Why do patrolmen wear uniforms and officials wear official uniforms? Because it is a symbol of status and power. When patrolmen wear uniforms, they have the power to enforce the law. This does not need to be told.
The suspect Wang Qun attacked the warning sign with mud without any questioning. No matter what his reason was, he was undermining law enforcement. If he is not severely punished, who will cooperate with the patrol police in law enforcement in the future? The consequences will be very serious. Therefore, I implore the presiding judge to sentence Wang Qun for damaging public property and violently resisting the law. As the son of the commander of the imperial guard Ma Du and an official, he is breaking the law knowingly, so he should be punished with an aggravated crime. "
After hearing this, Fan Chunren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It seems that he has understood it, but unfortunately it is too late."
After Su Shi sat down, Li Lei stood up and said, "First of all, law enforcement officers must abide by the law. If the patrol police go to the imperial city to put up warning signs, they will definitely be arrested by the imperial guards because that place is not under the jurisdiction of the patrol police.
I have just proved many times that no matter whether it is the emperor's will or the imperial decree, there is no clear statement that the patrol police of the Imperial Guards' Foot can enter the areas under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guards' Horse to enforce the law.
[Recommendation, the source-changing app is really useful for reading books, you can download it here and try it out. 】
At the same time, the imperial court had clear regulations to divide the areas under the jurisdiction of the imperial guards on foot and the areas under the jurisdiction of the imperial guards on horseback.
The decree recently issued by the court also proves this point. If the incident happened today, Wang Qun's behavior would undoubtedly be illegal, because the court has clearly stipulated that the General Police Office will be in charge of the public security and traffic of the entire capital.
But the fact is that this incident did not happen today, so the first ones to violate the rules were the four patrolmen of the Guards. Wang Qun had an official position in the Guards. When he saw the patrolmen of the Guards enforcing the law in the jurisdiction of the Guards without notifying the Guards in advance,
He should have taken measures to stop it, and his measures were very gentle. He did not hurt any patrol officers. He just covered the warning sign with mud. This behavior only showed that Wang Qun did not agree that the warning sign had legal effect. He had the basis and the power to do so. Therefore, I implore the presiding judge to find Wang Qun not guilty. "
After listening to Li Lei's speech, many people present shook their heads, their eyes full of contempt.
In their opinion, Li Lei's words were just specious, while Su Shi's words were well-founded.
Directly attack the warning sign with mud.
Can this be a gentle approach?
Also, Wang Qun was only a figurehead of the imperial guard, so what right did he have to stop the patrol officers from performing their duties?
After Lu Jiawen and the judges had a low discussion on the stage, he waited until the judges returned to their seats, then he slammed the gavel and said loudly: "Due to the court's decree, it is indeed not clear that the guards can enter the area under the jurisdiction of the guards to enforce the new traffic law. At the same time, the guards could have avoided this misunderstanding, but unfortunately the guards did not inform the guards in advance.
According to our system, when faced with overstepping of authority in law enforcement, law enforcement officers can appropriately resort to violence to resist.”
However, as a young man, Lu Jiawen still had some desire to express himself. He continued, "Although I do not approve of Wang Qun's behavior, he could have asked clearly and taken a more appropriate solution. But the fact is that he did not break the law. All this was caused by the lack of timely communication between the imperial guards and the imperial guards, and the unclear expression of the imperial decree. Therefore, I hereby declare Wang Qun not guilty."
"good!"
Wang Chao stood up excitedly.
Xu Zhiqian's face was full of regret. She absolutely supported Su Shi in this matter. Wang Qun must be severely punished. She tilted her head and looked at Zhang Fei, "It seems that your wish to use this matter to establish your authority has failed."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Although the result is a little different from what I expected, it is not a disappointment. Look at Wang Qun, he is crying so hard."
Xu Zhiqian looked up and saw Wang Qun with his head buried in the guardrail, crying and shaking all over.
This is so fucking exciting.
Although the final verdict was acquittal, Wang Qun, as a high-ranking official, was brought to court for such a small matter and was prosecuted by the Procuratorate. If he was not careful, he would have to go to jail, and no one could save him.
"Thank you all for helping my son clear his name. I have already sent someone to prepare a banquet at Baifan Tower, and I will thank you all later."
Wang Chao bowed and spoke to Li Lei, Li Guozhong and others.
Judging from the current situation, ear pens are becoming more and more important, so Wang Chao naturally has to show them courtesy.
Li Guozhong was extremely terrified and bowed in return, "Master Ma, you are too kind. Actually... Actually, there was some luck involved."
When he said he was lucky, he was not being modest. Zhang Fei had previously predicted that Wang Qun would not bear criminal responsibility, but a light punishment was still unavoidable.
But who would have thought that the person who came out this time was not Fan Chunren, but Su Shi. Su Shi was competing with Li Lei and was unwilling to lose in every word. He always refuted Li Lei and ignored the attack on Wang Qun.
Although he finally came to his senses, it was too late.
Su Shi was confused.
This was very different from what he had expected. In fact, he had thought about attacking Wang Qun in advance, but as the fight went on, he became obsessed with refuting every word of Li Lei.
That's his character.
It is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature.
Suddenly, a figure came over.
Su Shi looked up and saw Fan Chunren standing in front of him. His handsome face suddenly turned red.
This is so embarrassing!
Fan Chunren stroked his beard and smiled, "To be honest, I blamed you for taking away this case yesterday, but today I think your decision was right. If you hadn't experienced this failure, how could you be qualified for the position of deputy prosecutor?"
At this point, he sighed, "This may be the only way for us civil officials to go to court. I remember the first time I fought with Zhang San, I lost even more miserably than you. After I came to the Silusi, I didn't win a single case for several days in a row. At that time, even the people despised me as a court aid."
In his heart, he really did not blame Su Shi, because he saw his own shadow in Su Shi.
It would be difficult to correct this behavior in a short period of time. Even now, he would still make some such mistakes.
Su Shi glanced at Fan Chunren, suddenly stood up, and said with a folded hand: "Thank you for your comfort, Mr. Fan, but I, Su Shi, will not be defeated so easily."
