After receiving everyone's approval, Wang Xueyi couldn't wait to write the closing words of the court trial.
Wang Xueyi is the main author, and the closing words can be imagined.
The final conclusion was that the officials from the Sanfa Department and other officials who participated in the trial unanimously believed that Yang Jisheng was guilty of falsely conveying the prince's decree, falsely accusing a superior, and deceiving the emperor. The evidence was conclusive and he should be sentenced to death according to law.
After finishing writing, Wang Xueyi couldn't wait to dry the ink and asked the officials participating in the court trial to come forward and sign.
Everyone came forward to sign their names one by one.
He Ao, the Minister of Punishment, was the second to last signer. Before signing, he read the closing words written by Wang Xueyi word for word, with a slightly hesitant look on his face.
"Haha, if Lord Shangshu likes Xiaguan's calligraphy, after this errand is over, Xiaguan will carefully copy a collection of Lord Shangshu's poems and send them to you. At this time, you'd better sign your name quickly, don't keep the boss waiting for a long time.
Yes." Wang Xueyi looked at He Ao with a smile, and in a joking tone, used the opportunity to urge He Ao to sign quickly.
Whether Wang Xueyi was referring to Emperor Jiajing or Yan Song, He Ao knew very well.
"Haha, then it's settled." He Ao smiled and signed his name on the closing words.
In this way, only Shi Chaobin remained unsigned.
"Master Shi, you are the last one left, please." Wang Xueyi placed the closing statement in front of Shi Chaobin, thrust the brush in his hand into Shi Chaobin's hand, and asked him to sign the closing statement in a strong tone.
After Shi Chaobin read the closing statement, he looked at Wang Xueyi with a mocking look on his face, threw the brush in his hand on the table, and shook his head firmly, "Please forgive me for disagreeing with this closing statement!"
"Shi Chaobin!" Wang Xueyi was furious, "The court trial will end the case, and the officials participating in the court trial will discuss and decide. If there is disagreement, the presiding officer will make the decision. This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty court trial. Today's court trial, we all have the same opinion.
, He Shangshu, as the presiding judge, has the same opinion as us, so you, Shi Chaobin, must sign this name!"
"Master Wang, why do you have to be so grand? Master Shi didn't say not to sign, right Master Shi?"
"Master Shi, the minority obeys the majority, just sign this name."
"One person is short-term and many are evil-doers. Why should Master Shi have to part ways with everyone?"
"Master Shi, the Holy Spirit is still waiting. If you refuse to sign, the Holy Spirit will blame you. Then we will also suffer the consequences, so why bother."
…
The court officials around them seemed to be persuading Shi Chaobin, but in fact they were siding with Wang Xueyi and forcing Shi Chaobin to sign. Under such public opinion, if Shi Chaobin did not sign, it seemed that he would have committed public outrage.
.
"Master Shi, why bother with everyone because of a death row prisoner? Please go ahead."
People's hearts can be used. Wang Xueyi smiled with satisfaction and put the pen into Shi Chaobin's hand again.
Shi Chaobin took the brush.
A smile bloomed on Wang Xueyi's face, but the smile that had just bloomed on his face withered in the next second.
Because after Shi Chaobin took the brush, he threw it on the table again.
"I, Shi Chaobin, do not do it for others, but for the justice in my heart." After Shi Chaobin finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside the government office.
"His surname is Shi!"
Wang Xueyi was so angry that he went to court to close the case. If one person was missing to sign, the case would not be closed!
Shi Chaobin turned a deaf ear and walked straight out.
"Go inside and report to Mr. Ge."
Wang Xueyi grabbed a subordinate clerk next to him and asked him to go to the inner hall of the government office to report the emergency to Yan Song and his son.
then
Wang Xueyi shouted loudly to the officials watching in the hall, "Stop him and don't let him leave the government office."
Zhu Pingan had been paying attention to the situation in the audience, and Zhu Pingan also heard Wang Xueyi's closing speech.
I was very anxious inside.
Wang Xueyi is so shady! He even manipulated his closing statement to forcefully say that the court officials unanimously believed that Yang Jisheng was guilty of falsely conveying the prince's decree, framed a superior official, and deceived the emperor. He also said that the evidence was conclusive and that he should be punished according to law.
Hanging!!
The closing words presented to Emperor Jiajing like this are too tempting. When Emperor Jiajing saw such closing words, he was so angry that it was hard to predict what would happen! You know, in history, Emperor Jiajing killed ministers and officials, but
Without mercy.
Just when Zhu Pingan was very anxious, the scene of Shi Chaobin happened. Seeing Shi Chaobin not hesitate to offend the strict party and refused to sign and leave the scene, Zhu Pingan suddenly thought of a way.
So, when several attending officials stepped forward to intercept Shi Chaobin, Zhu Ping'an also stepped forward to "intercept" Shi Chaobin and shouted loudly: "Master Shi, stay here, stay here, it's better to sign your name before leaving."
Such words and deeds are exactly the same as those who intercepted Shi Chaobin.
However, during the chaos, Zhu Ping'an approached Shi Chaobin and whispered, "Master Shi, I am Yang Jisheng's junior fellow student. Please listen to me, Master Shi. I know that Master Shi refuses to sign for the sake of justice, fearing that righteous people
A tragic act of injustice. However, if Mr. Shi does not sign, someone else may sign for Mr. Shi. In my opinion, why don’t Mr. Shi attach his own opinions to the back when signing for the Holy Master’s reference?
?!In this case, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”
Zhu Pingan's suggestion refers to the modern court collegial panel system and the arbitration system. When the modern court collegial panel conducts deliberations, if there are differences of opinion, the decision should be made based on the opinions of the majority of judges, but the opinions of the minority judges should be included in the transcript; the same is true for arbitration
, the different opinions of the minority arbitrators shall be recorded in the transcript.
Zhu Ping'an felt a little guilty, knowing that his suggestion would cause Shi Chaobin to offend Yan Dang and suffer Yan Dang's revenge. However, Shi Chaobin's refusal to sign, his departure, and his previous words had completely offended Yan Dang.
.Since both the left and the right are offending the strict party, why not choose a more valuable way to offend.
Zhu Pingan's suggestion made Shi Chaobin enlightened. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look up at Zhu Pingan. He nodded slightly, then quickly turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an retired from others at the right time.
Wang Xueyi and other court officials also came over and verbally criticized Shi Chaobin. They suppressed Shi Chaobin with rules, official positions, Yan Song, and the Holy Master.
The strict party members among the officials who were watching also gave Shi Chaobin some persuasion.
In the end, Shi Chaobin was "persuaded" to go back.
"It's getting late, Mr. Shi, you'd better sign it early. If you miss the time to submit it to the Holy Emperor, I won't be able to forgive you." Wang Xueyi suppressed his anger and once again thrust the brush to Shi Chaobin.
Other court officials also kept persuading.
"Okay, I'll sign it." This time Shi Chaobin took the brush, looked up at Wang Xueyi, and nodded.
When Wang Xueyi saw this, he smiled with satisfaction, "Oh, Master Shi, wouldn't it be great if you could just do this? Please, please."
Shi Chaobin stopped talking. After dipping his brush in ink, he settled on the closing words and started writing.
At first, Wang Xueyi still had a smile on his face, and he was laughing at Shi Chaobin in his heart, just like the sisters in the Jiaofang Department. At first, he acted as if he had set up a memorial arch, but in the end he took off his clothes and opened his thighs obediently.
Then, the smile on Wang Xueyi's face solidified.
It’s just a three-character song when you sign your name. Shi Chaobin seems to have written more than three characters, right?! Why are you still writing!!!
Damn it!
There shouldn't be any trouble, right?!
Wang Xueyi felt bad, but it was already too late, Shi Chaobin had already finished writing.
Wang Xueyi rushed over and only saw the words that Shi Chaobin left in his closing remarks: "Although Yang Jisheng's words were wrong, he was really innocent and was not involved in the crime of falsely delivering orders and decrees. However, he was pitied for his madness and foolishness and was banished to a distant garrison in order to save his life.
