Chapter 242: Confused Official Confused Case (Part 2)
"You, you, you are slandering." Mr. Liu, surnamed Liu, was so angry that he trembled. He pointed at the old woman on the ground and yelled to Robben. "Sir, she is just a crazy woman. Her son jumped into the river and died. He wanted to extort a pension money from my husband's house. Although my husband had a great family at that time, he had to have a reason for his expenses. He would never dare to make such a hole. If other unruly people follow his example,"
"Ba." Robben joined the army slapped the agglomeration and interrupted the words of the old man named Liu, "It's enough, has this official asked you to speak? You are a jury, not the presiding officer, and it's not your turn to decide the case for me."
Mr. Liu and several other jury had refuted Robben dozens of times, but they were not embarrassed by Robben. Therefore, he felt a little contemptuous. He felt that the Huaian Army was just like this. Although he was a little braver, he still could not do without his own people in the future. However, he did not expect that Robben would not play according to common sense and immediately turned against him. In shock, he immediately realized the huge gap between officials and the people. He quickly bowed and sat back on his seat with a look of shame.
"Officer Liu, is it true that she sued?" Robben, the army, glared at him fiercely again, then turned his eyes to the criminal, "Why did you stop Jiangdu County from taking on this grandma's case? Has anyone promised you any benefits?"
"Injustice." Liu Tuiguan heard this and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "The villain is just a prosecutor. He has no real power at all. How dare he interfere in Jiangdu County how to determine the case, villain."
"You're talking nonsense." The people who complained were unanimously refuted, "Who doesn't know that you, Liu Papi, specializes in making money by eating cases. If you don't give you money in a small case, you will be beheaded. The real thief fell into the hands of the government. As long as you collect enough benefits, you can still be released from your prison and continue to kill and set fire everywhere."
"You unruly people are talking nonsense." Liu Tui Guan glared at his eyes and was arrogant without anger. "I am a sixth-rank official back then, so why would he be involved in the specific trivial matters such as asking about the case? I am."
"Stop." Robben, the army, was in a bad mood when he heard him whispering to the official position. He slapped the gavel hard and asked loudly, "Don't go around in circles, tell me the details. When this grandma complained, did you hand over a famous post to the county government?"
"This?" Liu Tui Guan originally wanted to deny it, but seeing that Luo Ben looked bad, hesitated for a moment and responded in a low voice, "At the beginning, it seemed that he had indeed submitted a post, but it was not a specific case trial. The villain, the villain just felt that when the year came, there must be many unlucky people who would argue with their employers. There are thousands of shops and workshops in Yangzhou City, and the end of the year is an important juncture for collecting commercial taxes, so this behavior cannot be encouraged in any case, otherwise the consequences will be very unpredictable."
"You" Luo Ben was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to jump up and kill Liu Tuiguan to death. This was obviously a case of collusion between officials and businessmen and poisoning the people. Liu Tuiguan must have accepted a bribe from it. However, this guy was actually quite proud to say the excuse, as if he would cause chaos in the world if he didn't do this.
While he was angry, he heard another young man crying loudly: "Master Qingtian, don't be fooled by someone named Liu. He is not just for the peace of Yangzhou City. He just made an excuse for his corruption and abuse of power. The villain was also a businessman back then, and the white porcelain he made was the first in Yangzhou. It was because he accidentally got involved in an unjust lawsuit at the end of last year and was extorted by the Liu again and again. In the end, even the entire shop and a porcelain kiln outside the city were all born. If it was to let everyone have a stable New Year, why would he not be willing to go to the villain? Logically, the villain is also the shopkeeper, and the villain pays silver to the government regularly and regularly every year."
"Master Qingtian, he is just lying." Several other victims also spoke one after another and accused Liu Tuiguan of his crimes. "Last time, the slave of the grain merchant Lao Qian family broke my elder brother's leg on the dock, which was also the case he came forward to pay the case for peace. As a result, my elder brother's leg was broken and he had to pay the money to delay the loading of grain for the old Qian family."
"He fell in love with the villain's house and wanted to pay 200 guan. The villain's father refused, so he found a habitual thief and surrendered himself to falsify his father to sell stolen goods. My poor old father, Qingqing's whole life, was so angry that he was so angry that he was killed by this killer. Woooo, Woooooo."
"He wanted to take the villain's sister as his concubine, but he refused to pay the bride money, so he colluded with the government and insisted that the villain had contact with the Ming Cult."
The suffering masters cried and said, "One of them, one by one, each one is outrageous."
Liu Tui Guan kept quibbling and took him clean. Among the jury, there were also several Su Laos who were furious and ready to jump up to refute at any time. He had no idea what Master Robenro did, and was afraid that he would suddenly get angry, so he had to endure it for the time being and wait for the right opportunity.
The judge Robben became more angry the more he listened, and the more angry the more he heard, the more angry the more he heard. The five fingers of his right hand kept opening and closing under the table. What he was going to try today was the crime committed by Zhang Mingjian and others in Yangzhou City more than half a year ago, which had nothing to do with the accusation of the victims. However, if Liu Wencai was not brought to justice, he really felt ashamed of the position of the judge. After thinking about it, he simply made his heart stand up and shouted loudly, "Okay, I have heard it clearly. Liu Wencai, you rely on your official skin to bully the good, robbed the good, and forced many lives to death. If I don't punish you for the crime of seeking money and killing you, God will feel that I have no eyes. Come and drag him down to me."
"Let's go." The old man dared not delay any longer, and stood up one after another and protested loudly, "Sir, General Manager Zhu said that we will wait for the jury today."
"Yes, Lord Luo, our jury has not passed yet."
"Mr. Luo, you can't go back on your word."
Although there was obvious trembling in the voice, none of the people was behind. This case had nothing to do with justice, but the rules in Yangzhou City in the future. These people were all famous gentry in the past, but the complainants were just a group of ignorant people who could not read a word. If a group of gentry was given a casual "skeleton" for a group of gentry, how could the future be done?
"You." Hearing the jury's protests, Luo Ben's face became even more angry. It was obvious that many of these Su Laos had had sex with Liu Wencai, and he made up his mind to cover him up. However, if these Su Laos' plans were successful, all the arrangements of General Manager Zhu would be in vain. Not only would the Huai'an army lose the hearts of the people, but the unjustly people would probably be unable to rest in peace if there was a spirit under the spring.
Suddenly, remembering some of Zhu Bashiyi's advice before the trial started, Robben joined the army gritted his teeth and sneered, "The victim's cry just now involves many people. According to the rules of my General Manager Zhu, all those involved must be avoided. Now, please ask Mr. Liu, Mr. Wu, Mr. Ren, Mr. Qian, and Mr. Xu to retreat aside and give the position of the jury to those who have nothing to do with this case."
"Ah, hum." The five old men Su who were named were slightly stunned at first, then angrily shook their sleeves and left the table. They had seen the confused official, but had never seen such a confused official as they are today. To govern the world with the scholars and officials was a rule set by the Grand Master of the Song Dynasty. Although the Mongolians did not explicitly announce that they would comply, in fact, the government could do anything without the support of local figures. Today, the humiliated official named Luo offended Mr. Su from Yangzhou City for a few ignorant local buns. Did he win over the hearts of the general manager Zhu or made enemies with the local manager Zhu?
"Please recommend five people, and Su, who has nothing to do with this case, take their place." Robben, the military officer, knew that he might have messed up the matter today, but the arrow was on the string and had to fire it. He stood up and bowed to the people around him, and said loudly, "Please recommend five more people, and gather thirteen jury to convict the Liu surnamed."
The crowd buzzed and retreated like a tide. No one wanted to show this. The former salt merchants were expelled from the jury by Robben, who had just been expelled from the jury, including jewelry, grain, shipowners, and even the owner of the fangs. In other words, this was a group of vibrant civil groups in Yangzhou City in the past. Although their property has been stolen by the rioters, everyone has a network of relationships that ordinary people cannot compare with. They really offended them. Everyone will not know how to die in the future.
"Please recommend five more people to come up and gather thirteen jury. It's late, so we have to hurry up." Seeing that the people below were still moving, Robben joined the army continued to urge with a kind look.
The crowd continued to retreat. The people looked at me, I looked at you, shook their heads and sighed. They did want to seek justice for the victims, but they could not bear the consequences of offending the old people. As the saying goes, officers and soldiers are water, while gentry is stones. The water is fierce and can easily swallow stones. But after the water recedes, the stones still have to stay in place, still pressing the surrounding plants and trees and cannot stand up. This principle has been the same in ancient and modern times, and the people can understand it without teaching.
"Come on our brothers." Just when Robben felt embarrassed, Zhu Chongba took Tang He, Deng Yu, and Wu brothers to separate the crowd and strode forward. "Neither of our brothers are locals. They have no interest disputes in it, nor do they know both parties involved."
"Okay." Robben joined the army finally waited for the savior and nodded with relief.
"But Zhu has a few words that he won't be happy if he doesn't vomit." Zhu Chongba continued to walk to the jury table and shouted at all the people of Yangzhou: "You are a bunch of cowards, General Manager Zhu has given you a chance to take revenge. You have actually shrank back yourself. What about your eggs? Are there any one among you in the hundreds of thousands of people who have brought a handful? You all count on others in everything. What do you do for food? Do you have a group of sheep who kills meat and eats? You deserve to be bullied for the rest of your life."
