Long Fei was stunned. He had never seen a defendant actually interrupt the presiding judge and object to Shenma. He looked at Xia Xun blankly and asked: "I wonder what Duke Fu Guo... wants to object to?"
"After being startled, he subconsciously used honorifics to the suspect Xia Xun without even noticing it.
Xia Xun stood there steadily and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Presiding Judge, fellow jurors, and Your Highnesses the two princes, we all know that whether Shuangyu Guards is a Japanese invader or not, the trial has not yet been concluded and the charges have not yet been confirmed. Lord.
Isn’t it too rash for your Lord Judge to say at this time that your father 'accepted' bribes from the Shuangyu Guards Commander who had an affair with the Japanese pirates?"
Zheng Ci twisted his beard and smiled, Zhu Gaochi nodded frequently and said in unison: "That's right, it's too hasty."
Long Fei's face looked like a dye shop. It was red for a while, white for a while, purple for a while, and black for a while. The conscience of heaven and earth was just a habitual expression. Since ancient times, the court's judicial system has been accustomed to the presumption of guilt. Look at the person who asked the case.
As soon as the official ascended to the throne, he slapped the gavel and said at every turn, "You are bold and unruly to the people. I will punish you with severe punishment. Come on, I will serve you with severe punishment!"
If you are not guilty, why should you be punished? This is the presumption of guilt. Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, I will beat you first.
The problem is... Xia Xun is not a cunning person, so he wants to be more serious. Long Fei cannot show off his official authority. His official authority has already been established when he appeared on the stage with such a large jury and the supervisory panel composed of two princes.
, I don’t know where it was thrown.
Xia Xun slowly walked around, with one hand behind his back and the other helping him to speak, as if he were a teacher teaching students: "Long Duanshi, you made three serious mistakes in just these words!"
Long Fei chuckled and said: "I am an ignorant official, please... please give me some advice!"
Xia Xun said: "First, the case of 'treason with Japanese pirates' has not yet been concluded. Whether Xu Hu and others are guilty or innocent has not yet been determined. At this time, Long Duanshi, as the chief judge, kept saying that they had 'liaison with Japanese pirates'
How about this? Isn't this a case where the person has been convicted without asking any questions? Maybe you just said it unintentionally, but the words you didn't mean are the words from the bottom of your heart. I am very worried about whether your position and attitude will be judged in the subsequent trial.
Stay fair!"
Long Duanshi was squeaking and his face was red. He was just used to asking questions like this and slipped his mouth. With so many officials sitting here watching, how could he dare to bend the law for personal gain, let alone bend the law? How could he know that he would
Xia Xun grabbed this pigtail...
Xia Xun said: "Secondly, as a presiding judge, when you were in court to hear the unconvicted charges of my father-in-law, you used the sentence that my father-in-law accepted a bribe from the Shuangyu Guards commander who 'had liaison with the Japanese pirates'. Adultery."
Japanese pirates are guilty of heinous crimes. What you say will easily create a bad psychological suggestion for the jurors and the two His Highnesses hearing the trial, making them hostile to me, which may affect the normal interrogation that follows!"
Poor thing, Long Duan was sweating profusely as he was talking about it. He wiped the sweat away and nodded, speechless.
Zhu Gaoxu picked up the tea cup with a smile and moved the tea leaves gracefully. Opposite him, Zhu Gaoxu, who was as heavy as water, said: "Second brother, drink tea!"
Xia Xun talked eloquently, stretched out his finger and said: "Thirdly, whether I accept gifts or bribes is still uncertain. It is human nature to give and receive gifts. We welcome and send you, please eat and drink.
Ordinary things, giving a gift is not necessarily a bribe, and receiving a gift is a bribe. For example, have you all entertained your colleagues at banquets? Have you given calligraphy and paintings to each other? This is an elegant thing, can it be said to be giving or receiving a bribe? Bribery, there are two
If any of the important characteristics are inconsistent, it is not a bribe, but a gift. This must be made clear!"
In fact, how could a suspect be so arrogant in court, but when it was Xia Xun's turn, he could do it. Zhu Gaochi and Zheng Ci favored him. Needless to say, Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Ying already knew how arrogant he was.
, we can’t punish him today, so why come out and ask for trouble? In this way, the two groups have no objections, and Master Xue who is riding on the wall naturally doesn’t care.
As a result, the presiding judge Long Feilong could only pathetically hold up his hands and say: "Please give me some advice from the Duke!"
Xia Xun said earnestly and seductively: "First, the gift must be an expensive gift. This value is mainly for the person giving the gift. If the person giving the gift is rich, he fished two fresh fish from his own pond.
Giving it to a friend is clearly a sign of friendship, not bribery. If he gives a priceless piece of jade, which is something that even a wealthy family like him treasures, then if there is no legitimate reason, this is bribery.
Suspicion."
"Yes, yes, the Duke said yes!"
"The second characteristic is whether the recipient of the gift responds with improper rewards, uses power for personal gain, facilitates the recipient, or opens the door for illegal behavior, etc..., so judge whether
If it is a bribe, it also depends on whether the giver has received any benefit from the recipient, and it is a benefit that is not allowed by national law."
With a smile uglier than crying on his face, Long Fei cupped his hands and said, "What the Duke said hit the nail on the head, and I was enlightened. I have been taught a lesson!"
For a long time, Xia Xun was talking and walking, but Long Fei didn't dare to sit down. He just stood leaning behind the public case, sticking his buttocks and waiting for a lesson. Who is judging whom?
Downstairs, many idle people from the yamen and those from other yamen who came to handle matters were standing there quietly watching the excitement. Among them were people from Duke Qiu Fu of Qi and people from Duke Cheng Zhu Neng. Naturally, there were also people from other yamen who were concerned about this.
They were sent by the official responsible for the matter, but everyone tacitly understood that they all happened to be doing the work, so everyone was idle.
Among them was a young gentleman, wearing a green silk uniform with a tight waist and narrow sleeves, and a "six-in-one hat" on his head, which was later used to be called a melon skin hat. He was smiling and beautiful. Look.
She looked even more delicate than a beautiful girl, playing with an inappropriate folding fan in her hand, watching Xia Xun teach Long Duan something, both of her eyes were bent into crescent moons.
Who else could this person be besides Xiao Ming'er? Seeing that her sweetheart was so majestic, Ming'er felt very happy and proud.
Xia Xun didn't know that Ming'er was also in the hall. Ever since he came to the hall, he had been putting on a show there. The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was not a place where everyone could come, and he didn't even think about any of his own family members sneaking in to see him.
Xia Xun said: "For example, in order to thank Yang Xu for helping him escape from Jinling in the past, His Highness gave two Qiuci beauties as a gift some time ago and left them in the homes of ordinary wealthy gentry. I thought it would be the same for them."
Giving gifts of extremely precious and rare exotic beauties to others must be something you want or have a purpose for. But for wealthy families, nobles, nobles, and ministers, it is a common thing to give each other beautiful concubines and maidservants. What can you say?
Is Your Highness a bribe? What kind of reward can I give to Your Highness for violating the law for personal gain?"
Long Duanshi said quickly: "It makes sense, it makes sense. This kind of behavior is giving and receiving gifts and reciprocating them, rather than giving and receiving bribes!"
"clever!"
Xia Xun gave him a thumbs-up, then turned to Zhu Gaoxu, who was secretly gritting his teeth in hatred, but still had a slight smile on his face. He bowed and said with a smile: "The two blond and blue-eyed foreigners that His Highness gave to Yang Xu." She is a beautiful woman, charming and well-informed. Yang Xu enjoys it and has endless aftertaste. Haha, thank you so much, Your Highness."
Ming'er was unhappy, she pursed her lips, snorted secretly, and thought sourly: "Is it fun to have endless aftertaste?"
Her two slender green-white jade fingers rubbed the folding fan, and they felt like they were twisting on the soft flesh of Xia Xun's waist.
Chen Ying coughed and said: "Master Fu, please don't talk about anything irrelevant to this case."
Xia Xun smiled, turned to Long Fei and said: "To sum up, whether I am guilty or not will only be known after the trial of the chief judge. At this time, I can accept bribes, and I accept bribes from people who are familiar with the Japanese law." It is unfair to start the event on the grounds of bribery!"
Long Duanshi said awkwardly: "So, then..., ahem! I hereby issue an edict to examine whether the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu has ever accepted a valuable gift from Xu Hu, the commander of the Shuangyu Guards, and therefore used his power for personal gain and convenience. In this case, the return of illegal and illegal rewards has opened the door for the illegal and illegal behavior of Shuangyu Guards commanding Xu Hu. The original defendant and the corresponding things have been presented to the court, and the trial is now open!"
After finishing this long and convoluted speech, Long Duanshi almost choked to death, but when he thought about it carefully, he was really watertight in what he said, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Long Duanshi asked the two princes who were hearing the trial and the adults on the jury He leaned forward, sat back on the chair gently, and said: "Ren Jian, Taicang Guards command Ji Wenhe's personal bodyguards, Taicang Guards were ordered by Luo Yudu Command to take over Shuangyu Island, and when searching for evidence of Shuangyu Guards suspected of treason with the Japanese, it was You found this account book that records gifts to Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince. Now you tell the relevant situation..."
Yang Xu had already sat back in his chair, and suddenly interrupted: "Your Excellency, it seems that everyone is not here yet? I, the person suspected of taking bribes, have already appeared in court, why is the person suspected of giving bribes nowhere to be seen?"
Long Duanshi was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes to Chen Ying. Chen Ying cleared her throat and said, "That's right, because Xu Hu is a key criminal in another major case. In order to prevent collusion with related persons, he has been kept under close supervision. This person has been closely guarded. When he was caught committing a crime, he thought he would die. So far he has not said a word. No matter how you interrogate him, he has never said a word. When it comes to bribery... Oh! Regarding the suspected bribery matter, he naturally did not give a single word of confession.
Therefore, we, the presiding judges and jury officials, discussed it and decided not to mention him in court for the time being. Since Taicang Wei found the account books and some exhibits on Shuangyu Island, with this evidence, Xu Hu, as a suspect, will not be mentioned in court even if he is brought to court. Denial cannot be used as evidence to clarify the case, so we can only conduct screening based on the authenticity of the account books and relevant exhibits."
Xia Xun immediately said: "In other words, as the briber, we can now confirm that we have denied the bribery and the authenticity of the account books and related evidence, right?"
Chen Ying was silent for a moment, then reluctantly said: "You can say that."
Xia Xun said: "If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. There is no ambiguity in the court, Your Majesty!"
Chen Ying felt a fire in her heart and rushed forward: "Yang Xu! If it hadn't been for the Holy Emperor's secret decree, how could I have spared you so lightly!" After thinking about it, she finally felt that there was no need to tangle with him about what was a foregone conclusion. , the top priority is to minimize the damage as much as possible. It will be painful enough if you break your wrist. Don't let him bite you. If you break your arm, your vitality will be seriously damaged.
So he nodded stiffly and said: "Yes, Xu Hu denies bribery and denies that he owns the relevant evidence!"
"good!"
Xia Xun stretched out his hand and pointed at his penis and said, "Write down this passage!"
After Xia Xun finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Taicang Guard's Ren Jian, and said with a smile: "It's your turn, go ahead!" As he said that, he made a small movement inadvertently, and a man who was crowded in the crowd to watch the fun immediately turned around and left.
go out!
I had diarrhea last night, and I started to struggle at 6 o'clock this morning. Now that I'm up, let's go to work. But I was spinning halfway through the work. I felt like my body was sliding far away while I was sitting there. When I regained consciousness, I found that I had a nosebleed. Look.
Staying here this night is quite exhausting. I washed my forehead with cold water and plugged my nostrils with tissue paper. I persisted in typing up this chapter. I will post it first, and then I will lie down and come back. The third chapter will be posted later.
