For Wen Jie, the only way to enforce the law is to sentence the untouchable who killed his son to death in Lingchi.
The other results, no matter how Yang Qingyuan reasoned or analyzed the law, in Wen Jie's eyes, they were just excusing Zhang San.
Ignoring Wen Jie, who looked gloomy at the moment and wanted to make trouble unreasonably.
Yang Qingyuan turned his gaze to the remaining people, "Everyone, have you seen it clearly?!"
The rest of the people nodded. Except for Wen Jie, who objected to Yang Qingyuan from the basic logic, the rest of the people were acceptable to this result.
As for Wen Jie, that's unreasonable.
He began to question the basis of this experiment. He did not even question whether the experiment was effective, but directly questioned whether what was recorded in the book must be correct! ?
This kind of questioning is not problematic in academic terms, but in judicial practice, it is unreasonable.
Not to mention Dazhou, even above Blue Star, opponents can still question the fallacy of handwriting identification, and the methods used cannot correctly verify the facts.
But this kind of questioning is rogue logic, and the judges will not adopt it.
Opponents must not only question the validity of the experiment or method, but also provide reasonable reasons.
Only such opposition can be considered truly effective opposition.
Ignoring Wen Jie, Yang Qingyuan led a group of people back to the court.
"Snapped!"
Yang Qingyuan was stunned.
"Wen Laifu, what do you have to say now?!"
Wen Laifu, who was kneeling in the hall, had witnessed the autopsy just now, but Wen Laifu had no choice.
He is a dead soldier of the Wen family. He was trained by the Wen family since he was a child. He can be disloyal to the emperor, but he cannot be disloyal to Wen Jie.
"I still say the same thing. I saw with my own eyes that after Zhang San hit my young master with an arrow, he stepped forward and hit my young master hard, causing my young master's death!"
Yang Qingyuan was also mentally prepared for Wen Laifu's answer. These dead soldiers generally had such a temper.
Yang Qingyuan did not expect Wen Laifu to suddenly confess truthfully.
With the method of steaming bones and performing an autopsy as proof, Wen Lai Fu's testimony is no longer important.
The results of the steamed bone autopsy method corroborate each other with the testimonies of Li Qingning's master, servant, and Wen Wu, and are consistent with Zhang San's self-confession. They are highly probable and can exclude other reasonable doubts.
These are enough as the basis for finalizing the decision!
"Bah!" Yang Qingyuan said loudly as he patted the gavel again.
"The case of the hunter Zhang San of Cuihua Mountain shooting and killing Wen Pojun, the son of Zuotunwei General Wenjie, has been finalized for many days!"
"It has been found out that the criminal Zhang San deliberately killed Wen Pojun. He shot Wen Pojun with a hunting bow on Cuihua Mountain on April 29th. However, when Wen Pojun kidnapped Li Qingning of the Li family, although there was a killing He committed murder with his heart, but it did not result in murder, but became a great cause of justice. To sum up, Dali Temple’s verdict against Zhang San is as follows.”
"Zhang San was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to three years in prison. You can pay with money!"
"Wen Pojun kidnapped civilian girls in broad daylight with evil intentions. He was sentenced to illegal detention and attempted adultery. However, the offender is dead and will no longer be pursued!"
"Evil servant Wenwu! As an accomplice of detention and adultery, if he thinks about how to confess his crime, his crime will be reduced by one degree! He will be exiled for three thousand miles and imprisoned for five years!"
"The evil servant Wen Laifu was an accomplice of detention and adultery, and perjured himself in court. His crime will be increased to second degree! He will be executed immediately!"
"Bang!" Yang Qingyuan took the photo of the gavel!
"The case of Zhang San and Wen Pojun has been concluded today. After the case files are submitted, they will be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for review. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment to redress your grievances!"
Today, Dali Temple has regained a lot of power, but for the purpose of checks and balances by the superiors, Emperor Zhou still let the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple check and balance each other.
All important cases in Gyeonggi Province are presided over by Dali Temple and reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment.
All major local cases may be presided over by the Ministry of Punishment and reviewed by Dali Temple.
The two parties restrict each other and have the right to judge and review each other.
Don't let one family become the dominant one.
But today's Dali Temple combines investigation, arrest, and trial! Coupled with the fact that he had subdued the younger brother Liumen, his power gradually overcame the punishment department.
"Quit!"
With the powerful voice of the Dali Temple police officers withdrawing from the court, the Zhang Sanyi case has temporarily come to an end.
However, the parties involved had two attitudes. Wen Jie rolled up his sleeves and left angrily. He could not accept this result.
Not only was his son's murderer not caught, but several dead men and a lot of money were involved.
With Wen Jie's character, it is natural that he would not let it go.
Li Chengguang, on the other hand, still looked calm and calm, as if this case had nothing to do with him.
"Master Yang! I still have some official business to deal with in my office, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Master Li, please walk slowly. I will send you off not far away!"
"Master Yang, stay!"
The two exchanged simple polite greetings, and Li Chengguang left in an official sedan!
Although Li Chengguang left, Miss Li Qingning and her maid Li Xiaoyue stayed.
"Master Yang enforces the law impartially, and the little girl admires him!"
Li Qingning came up and praised Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan shook his head slightly and chuckled, "Miss Li can speak directly if she has something to say, you don't have to do that!?"
Li Qingning was slightly embarrassed, carefully considered her words, and said, "Sir, I don't know the punishment for Zhang San. If you want to pay for the crime with silver, how much money will it cost?"
Li Qingning's question had been expected by Yang Qingyuan. He didn't expect that the story of the eldest lady falling in love with the poor boy would actually happen to him.
"The criminal Zhang San was sentenced to three years in prison. If he pays the penalty with silver, he will need three hundred taels of silver!"
When he heard three hundred taels, Li Qingning frowned slightly. With Zhang San's background, three hundred taels was an astronomical figure for him.
"Master Yang, I wonder if I can pay Zhang San's fine?"
Li Qingning's actions were within Yang Qingyuan's expectations.
However, there were not so many rules for the payment of the fine money. The court only collected the money and did not care who paid it.
Paying off one's sins with silver is actually not what one imagines. If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
Regular punishments in the Dazhou period are divided into five levels, ranging from severe to lenient: beheading, hanging, hanging, beating, and cane.
Beheading and hanging are death sentences, but hanging can preserve the body, and beheading separates the body and head, so beheading is more severe.
Then came the exile, in which the prisoner was exiled to a remote place and served hard labor, which can be understood as a harsh version of imprisonment.
Imprisonment is a punishment for prisoners to engage in hard labor, but the location and work will be better than exile. Ordinary people, even if they have not committed a crime, must perform corvee regularly. Generally, corvee can be offset by money.
The final cane punishment will not be explained anymore.
The only things that Zhou could pay for his crime with silver were imprisonment and rod punishment.
If it were true that any punishment could be offset by money, then Dazhou would have been in chaos long ago!
As for criminals who were sentenced to cane punishment and imprisonment, their subjective malignancy was relatively small and their objective harmful consequences were not great, so they were allowed to pay for their crimes with silver.
