"No noise is allowed in the courtroom!"
Qin Changfeng stood up and shouted angrily.
Under Liu Zheng's instructions, the court must be a serious occasion. How can these young people be allowed to be unrestrained? The Yinzhou Army next to them had already been prepared and drove out all the people who were making the most noise.
Qiao Guang and others' expressions also changed slightly, and they could only snort, waiting for the public trial to proceed.
"Open the meeting!"
Liu Zheng shouted.
Counselor of the Supervision Department, Xingmu clapped his hands and asked Ms. Zhou, Mr. Wang Qian's wife: "The accuser, Mr. Zhou, is suing Yinzhou Army Chen Mingze for the murder of Mr. Wang Qian. The case is now open! I enforce the law impartially and without bias." Don't rely on it, the sun and the moon can tell you! Madam Zhou, tell me your appeal quickly!"
This is a set of processes designed by Liu Zheng based on the combination of ancient and modern times.
The first step is the plaintiff’s request.
Zhou sobbed and recounted the ins and outs of the case, the contents of which naturally need no elaboration. Finally, she pointed the finger at Chen Mingze: "Sir, my husband is an easy-going man and rarely conflicts with others. If it weren't for Chen Mingze, who would it be! "
When the people heard this, they were filled with indignation.
Do I need to talk about this kind of case? It’s already on the table! Chen Mingze must have been jealous of Mr. Wang Qian, so he attacked so cruelly that Mr. Wang Qian died suddenly the next day. This technique was very common in ancient times and could be achieved by those with high martial arts skills.
Some people even think that Liu Zhizhou is too protective!
In order to clear Chen Mingze's name, he still mobilizes people like this and talks about judicial reform. This is pure fart! He just wanted to clear his brother's name.
"No noise!"
"Silence, silence!"
When the people started to make trouble, the Yinzhou Army came out to maintain order.
The Counselor of the Sentencing Department said coldly: "Any speculation is just a guess. In court, only evidence is discussed. How Mr. Wang Qian behaves is not within the scope of judgment. Is there any other evidence that the plaintiff needs to provide? Luo Luo deacon?"
Deacon Luo is the deacon of the Inspectorate who is responsible for assisting the plaintiff in the lawsuit this time.
He nodded, stood up and said: "Sir, the clue we have is the defendant Chen Mingze's motive for committing the crime. He met and fell in love with Miss Liang, Wang Qian's concubine, in their early years. They met again. Miss Liang is now someone else's wife. . Therefore, the motive for murder is established. Secondly, there was indeed a physical conflict between the two in Chunmanyuan that day, and there are all witnesses."
As soon as this was said, many people nodded.
It’s clear at a glance, so what’s there to argue about?
However……
This matter of officials helping people with lawsuits is indeed very novel.
"grown ups!"
As soon as he sat down here, Jiang Xuan stood up: "Chen Mingze is not a martial arts practitioner. The conflict that day was just impromptu and there was no deliberate murder intention. Therefore, I think there was nothing serious that day, but he died suddenly the next day. This matter is really strange. The defendant was not the last person who came into contact with the plaintiff. The plaintiff and several companions also listened to music and drank in Chunman Garden that night. Jiang Xuan believes that they cannot rule out suspicion either!"
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Guang and others' expressions changed.
"Nonsense!"
"Bloody mouth!"
"Mr. Wang Qian and I are just friends. Is there any suspicion?"
"Silence, silence!"
The scene became quiet again.
Although this was the first public meeting, I lacked experience and the scene was a bit chaotic. However, this novel way of solving the case still made many people present feel incredible.
Is this a quarrel?
No!
This is not a quarrel, this is a lawsuit!
A real lawsuit! You know, lawyers in Chinese civilization only appeared in the Qing Dynasty. At this stage of the Longyan Dynasty, naturally no lawyer would say this. In the past, it was always the officials who handled cases. To put it bluntly, the people are being slaughtered, and crimes committed by prominent families are naturally different from civilians.
Even in ancient times, killing an untouchable was just a loss of a cow.
Who has seen...
This official family makes decisions for the common people, is it a lawsuit?
Sudden.
The people who were noisy just now became quiet one by one. They seemed to understand that Liu Zhizhou was really doing something big, something that could change the judicial environment in Liangzhou.
"Sir, this is simply unreasonable! As for the motive of the crime, the person who is in conflict should be considered first..."
Jiang Xuan retorted: "Deacon Luo, you need to be careful with your words! There is no conclusion yet on the cause of the deceased's death and whether it was a crime or not!"
"Master Jiang, this is wrong. Mr. Wang Qian died unexpectedly. This is a fact..."
"Death by accident does not mean death by murder! Let me ask you, have you ever seen people die from drinking too much? Yes, and there are quite a few! Have you ever seen people die from taking medicine? There are also quite a few!"
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wang Qian died of ruptured internal organs. It should be due to trauma!"
"What if it's an internal cause?"
"President Wang Qian's staff are very good. No one has any motive for killing anymore!"
"The counselor just reminded me that popularity cannot be used as a criterion! Deacon Luo, I just ask you, has anyone seen Chen Mingze kill Mr. Wang Qian with his own hands!"
"..."
Between the two of you, what you say makes sense and what I say makes sense to the people present. One side makes sense and the other makes sense. Soon, the people no longer knew who to support.
"stop!"
Half an hour later, the court process was completed.
The Counselor of the Sentencing Department said calmly: "Now it's time for both parties to present evidence!"
People looked at each other. This means that with this process, two people don’t have to “quarrel”! Or are you bringing out evidence to start arguing again? It's interesting and interesting. This fresh way of litigation makes people want to keep listening.
Give evidence.
Of course, Deacon Luo's evidence first came from witnesses. The brothers who drank with Mr. Wang Qian that day came out one by one to accuse Chen Mingze.
They also brought the tables, chairs and benches used in the conflict that day.
As for Jiang Xuan.
The first thing to prove is that Chen Mingze has never experienced systematic martial arts training, and he has no power to restrain a chicken. Moreover, he and Miss Liang have not seen each other for four years, so there is no condition for intentional murder.
Therefore, he believed that the cause of Wan Qian's death was doubtful.
Then.
His words were astonishing: "Sir, according to my recent investigation, there is the possibility of other causes of death for Mr. Wang Qian! First of all, Mr. Wang Qian has always been suffering from tuberculosis and has been taking medicine for a long time. Secondly, there was a quarrel between his wife and concubines at home. Neighbors confirmed that, There were several fierce quarrels. Again, why did Mr. Wang Qian take his concubine to the brothel that day? Jiang Xuan thought this was unusual! "
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
unconsciously.
The tens of thousands of people watching at the scene finally began to slowly discover, as Jiang Xuan argued and presented evidence, that there were so many strange things about this matter.
Just started.
For the first time, everyone's support for Mr. Wang Qian's family changed.
People were talking about it.
Could it be...
Was this Mr. Wang Qian really not killed by Chen Mingze?
