After Ji Xin's speech, Xu Xu announced the end of the court hearing. Subsequently, Xu Xu gave an hour-long explanation of the key points of the law. This explanation was prepared by the Law Society over several nights and was tried to be as easy to understand as possible.
The circumstances of the case and the applicable legal provisions were explained. For an arbitral tribunal that uses the modern judicial system to hear a case for the first time, it is very necessary to explain the case and the trial process.
Unexpectedly, everyone was not bored by the interpretation process, but was very interested. After the trial process just now, many people wanted to understand why the Australians did this. The permissible interpretation just satisfied their needs.
Requirements. Although most people may not understand it, they have a preliminary understanding of the modern judicial system.
After giving all the explanations, the *** member announced that everyone should stand up:
"The verdict is announced below!"
Xu Quan stood up, picked up the gavel and struck:
“The defendant was found guilty of ‘disrupting military marriage’!”
Everyone in the auditorium sighed and commented.
"In the name of the Senate and the people: the defendant is sentenced to seven years of hard labor and one year of supervision!" Licensing announced.
The so-called supervision means that after release, you must wear a special mark on your clothes so that you can be supervised at all times. Not only is it restricted in many aspects, but it is also a very humiliating mark.
There was a huge discussion in the gallery - everyone was surprised that the sentence was so harsh. Because in the judicial practice of the Ming Dynasty, it was rare to impose a prison sentence. Moreover, cases involving adultery like this were conventionally nothing more than beatings.
Dozens of blows against the husband, and then dozens of blows against the *** in the name of "good morals". If there are any shackles to show to the public, it will be very popular. I didn't expect the Australians to come up with such a heavy blow to "sabotage military marriage"
sin.
Everyone knows what the so-called "hard labor" in Australia means, which means that it fell into Fu Youdi's hands. That ghost place made people in Lingao frightened. Everyone suspected that this unlucky "adulterer" had entered the hard labor field.
Is there any chance of coming back alive?
Everyone was surprised that having sex with a soldier's wife would end up like this. Australians have really different ideas. In the 17th century, the profession of soldiers was looked down upon by people both at home and abroad as "scum".
Well done, no one thought it was a big deal that a soldier's wife was fucked.
As the gavel of permission fell again, the first court hearing conducted in accordance with the newly compiled procedural law process came to an end. Everyone stood up, and the judge was the first to leave. Then the crowd slowly dispersed under the guidance of the police.
.In the auditorium that was being dispersed, two people did not move. They did not stand up until the crowd in the auditorium was almost gone and only stools were left on the floor. The leader was a middle-aged man.
He was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, and he looked like a distinguished Ming Dynasty person. Accompanying him was a young man. The two of them walked slowly towards the door. The young man moved the benches that were still left in the passage from time to time.
When they reached the door, several people in short coats immediately greeted them and put them on the carriage that had been waiting for them.
Li Luoyou closed his eyes and took a short rest. Gu Baocheng opened the beverage box in the carriage, took out a small thermos bottle, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to his hand.
Li Luoyou took a sip. The tea was the finest Fujian Wuyi Mountain tea. After a few months here, the Australians became more and more sophisticated in their enjoyment - when he came in the past, there was only hot water supply, but the tea was inferior coarse tea.
That's all.
The carriage shook slightly and started slowly. The Mongolian horse was weak and not very fast, but it was good at walking. The road near Lingao was smooth and the carriage went very steadily. Li Luoyou drank two cups of tea and felt a little calmer. He sat down.
Sitting on that hard wooden backrest for more than an hour was quite tiring, not to mention that the room was packed with people. If it weren't for the hot weather and good ventilation, he probably wouldn't be able to sit down.
It was Gu Baocheng's suggestion to come to Dongmen City to watch the trial - the case caused by the love affair has become a hot spot in the streets of Lingao under the vigorous publicity of the Cultural Propaganda Department. Naturally, it has also spread to the Qionghai, and Li Luoyou is in Lingao.
Gao's place of stay. Li Luoyu had become very interested in Lingao's justice last time. This time he heard that a case was going to be tried publicly in accordance with the "Australian and Song Dynasty Laws". He couldn't help but become very interested.
Taking care of Baocheng, he collected all relevant newspaper materials and showed them to him.
Li Luoyou was tasked with rescuing the remnants of He Rubin's troops. It had been more than ten days since he arrived in Lingao from Macau. Since the Senate needed to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the remnants of the Ming army trapped in Qiongshan, Li Luoyou could only stay bored on the Qionghai.
Waiting - sometimes Liu San or some other elders he knew would come to chat with him, but most of the time he could only pass the time by reading the Lingao newspapers and books collected by Gu Baocheng.
Gu Baocheng has been in Lingao for some time, and he already knows a lot about the way Australians do things - they will express or imply a lot of things in newspapers. Reading the "Lingao Times" and various books published locally is the best way to understand their ideas.
Good window.
Li Luoyou was very interested in his nephew's opinions - of course, this was not a real insight, just as he regularly read the Cong Di Chao. In the Di Chao, he could also see many trends in the imperial court.
However, the content of "Lingao Times" is much broader and the form is much more lively. Many of the forms are the first time he has seen them. For example, this case of sabotaging military weddings, the newspaper not only discussed the causes and consequences of this case
The report also gave a so-called "background introduction" to "Aussie and Song Dynasty", especially the concept and practice of "destroying military marriages". There were long articles. Li Luoyou read the newspaper articles carefully and soon understood
The Australians were going to implement the "Australian Song Dynasty" in Lingao. He was shocked.
The implementation of new laws is an important feature of the new dynasty. Newspapers openly talked about the laws of Australia and Song Dynasty, which was clearly preparing to raise a flag to separate the country. Li Luoyou fell silent for a while - it seems that this Qiongzhou government will soon
It will no longer be owned by the Ming Dynasty! The strange thing is that he is very calm about this reality, and has no anxiety and anger when he heard about the fall of Shenyang in the past. At least, these people still claim to be Chinese Miao descendants and do not regard the people as slaves
Like pigs and dogs, they did many practical things that benefited the people of the place. The people lived a much better life under the rule of the Australian and Song people than under the rule of the Jianlu - even much better than the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty treated it very well.
The people are also unmerciful. Officials only care about their own glory and wealth, and have no regard for the life and death of the people or the territory of the country.
Now, the officials who ruled the people of the Ming Dynasty sent him here just to reach an agreement that could cover up the disastrous defeat they suffered because of their reckless provocation of war. Every time Li Luoyou thought about this, he felt desperate for the court.
He had heard that the emperor was a diligent man who hoped to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, but with such a group of people serving as officials under him, it would be difficult for him to accomplish anything even if Taizu were to reincarnate.
Gu Baocheng saw that he was very concerned about this case, so he proposed to observe the interrogation process. Li Luoyou had already been very interested in the Australian judicial system - he discovered the Australian judicial system when he visited Dongmen City last time.
The judicial system and laws are similar to those of Europeans. However, my stay at that time was very short and I did not have time to see a court hearing. Now that there is such an important case, this opportunity cannot be missed at any cost.
Li Luoyou wanted to see the trial, and of course it was a special case - he played a vital role in the next plan to be implemented by the Planning Institute. Under the instructions of the General Office, Ma Jia immediately withdrew from the "reserved vote"
Give two to them.
The whole trial process made him feel surprised but also reasonable - he realized that his past thoughts were correct. Australian legal system was deeply influenced by European legal system, including the form of interrogation. However, they were in Europe
There were innovations in human institutions. For example, he had never heard of "destroying military marriages". He felt that even European laws would not have such strange provisions.
"The Australians are trying to win the hearts and minds of the soldiers, and I'm afraid their plans will be very different in the future." Gu Baocheng whispered in the car.
"If he couldn't win over people's hearts, how could he annihilate the whole army in Hezhen? Could it be that he just relied on the sharpness of firearms?" Li Luoyou said, "If the firearms are sharp, then the firearms of Guanning Town Army and Jingying Camp are not the same.
He was so sharp that he was still beaten by Jiannu so much that he did not dare to step out of the city gate, so he hid in the city and watched them murder and set fire to others!"
Gu Baocheng knew that his uncle was talking about the invasion of the Jian slaves into the fortress - the news coming from the north was very bad. The Jian slaves killed dozens of people and looted the state capital, took away countless properties, and took away more than 100,000 people.
In Gu Baocheng's view, apart from sharp firearms and winning people's hearts, the Australians were superior to the government in many other aspects. However, he did not dare to argue and just echoed: "Uncle is right."
The carriage arrived at the door of Qionghai House. This shop occupies a large area, but the building area is not large, and the front of the house is not prominent - unlike other businesses who try to make their fronts as spectacular as possible, the front of Qionghai House
It has a very simple appearance. The three-bay facade, both in decoration and style, is that of a traditional time-honored store.
The Qionghai does some retail business on the facade, selling various local products from the mainland. This is not its main business - its main business is bulk trade. The Qionghai ships in all kinds of bulk goods that Australians need from the mainland.
The goods are mainly goods from Liaodong and exports, especially various leather goods. Horse hides, deer hides, sheepskins, these are all equipment and materials urgently needed by the Lingao industrial system. In addition, various kinds of products rich in Guangdong and other places are also shipped here.
Raw lacquer, tung oil, silk and other industrial raw materials.
