Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 359

Amidst the ear-piercing "squeak", the gate of Dali Temple opened slowly.

The golden sunlight came in through the crack of the door in an instant, illuminating the gloomy doorway.Sliding in together with the sunlight, there were also the eyes of scholars and common people who had gathered around the gate of the government office for a long time.

At this time, the main hall was still empty, but the anxious eyes had already warmed up the atmosphere of Dali Temple in advance.There was such a big commotion in the Chang'an County Government yesterday, and Luo Yan was going to try the case overnight, and everyone wanted to know what the outcome would be.

As for those nobles, because they were afraid of being besieged by scholars, they could only secretly send servants to report the news at all times.

Since Li Chengqian promised to retry the case, those noble children have been detained in Dali Temple again.People were only waiting for Luo Yan to appear, and the case was about to be officially heard.

The yamen opened for about half an hour, and suddenly a small official appeared in the main hall, and shouted anxiously: "Duke Cheng, come here immediately, and the servants are here to wait for orders."

Hearing these words, the tired crowd who were standing there instantly regained their spirits.It seems that this is the rhythm that is about to start.Although the Luo Yanren hadn't arrived yet, the hasty gathering of the guards was enough for many people to stand on tiptoe and watch desperately inside.

In just half a moment, Luo Yan's tired figure turned from the back office into the main hall.

According to the rank of Sanguan, Luo Yan, who is wearing a red dress, is very heroic. Although he walks a little slowly, in the eyes of many people, Luo Yan is like a ball of flames.The irrepressible majesty made the noisy crowd immediately quiet down.

After sitting down, Luo Yan first put the thick stack of certificates on the case, and then yelled outside: "Today Luo is the presiding judge, representing the case of Chivalry Society. Please do the re-examination process." During the trial, onlookers are not allowed to disturb the court, but those who disturb the court will be temporarily detained. If you feel that you have bent the law for personal gain during the trial, you can file a complaint with the six ministries of the three provinces after the trial, and Luo will follow up one by one. "

These words changed the faces of many onlookers and scholars: "Could it be that Luo Yan was really bribed by these nobles?"

But Luo Yan didn't give them time to continue thinking. After finishing speaking, he said to the guard: "Bring the son of Marquis of Yanbian here first."

The son of Marquis of Yanbian is only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.He was beaten up earlier, but this kid was so tough that he didn't yell at all.Then he took the manpower to fight with the people from the Chivalry Club, and finally joined the Chivalry Club without knowing each other.

Regardless of his young age, this kid also has dark hands. Among the hundreds of complaints Luo Yan has seen, he has been involved in more than 70 cases, and he mainly beats people every time.

But now being detained in Dali Temple repeatedly, especially knowing that Li Chengqian wants to punish them, this young man can no longer be arrogant.With a slumped face, he was dragged up by the guards, and then looked at the ground blankly.

Seeing this, Luo Yan felt compassion.

However, poor people must have something to hate, Luo Yan can't ignore the victim just because of his pity.

"You don't need to talk, but you have to listen carefully to what I'm going to say. Last December, you and a group of Chivalrous Club members waited and injured a 17-year-old boy in front of the restaurant in Jing'anfang. This spring, the first month, He also beat a Hu businessman to serious injury in West Market...Last month, he also injured a scholar in his early twenties in Changlefang. For these things, if you plead guilty, you just nod your head, if you don't plead guilty, you shake your head."

"I, plead guilty." The boy whispered in a hoarse voice.These things had already been mentioned during the trial process last time, although there were a few more, but he did too many evil things, and he forgot.

Instead of being entangled here with those suffering masters and still unable to escape in the end, it is better to confess directly.

"Since you have pleaded guilty, let's pronounce the sentence." Nodding to the writer, asking him to record carefully, Luo Yan continued: "The son of Marquis Yanbian, aged sixteen, is one of the key members of the Chivalry Society. He beat passers-by, picked quarrels, Most of them have bad deeds, and they will be deprived of the right to inherit the title, sent to the army for three years, and fined thousands of dollars."

The people watching were stunned.

"So cruel." Many people couldn't help thinking like this.Luo Yan's treatment this time was so harsh that they couldn't accept it.

"Next, the son of the Marquis of Xun Sheng."

Hou Xun Sheng had begged Luo Yan before. This is something everyone knows. When this child is being tried, it is not known whether Luo Yan will follow his personal feelings. This question is worth looking forward to.

"You just joined the Chivalry Club in May this year. According to the certificate in my hand, you participated in nine assault cases, seven of which were hands-on, and two were bluffing. You can plead guilty."

The boy nodded, Luo Yan's cold voice had frightened him a long time ago, so he didn't dare to speak.

"Since this is the case, I will let you guard the city gate for three months, and you will be fined for one month of hard labor, and you will be fined a hundred guan. Next."

It's been less than a month and a half since I followed the Chivalry Club, but the punishment will take four months, which is already very powerful.What's more, everyone heard clearly that this young man is basically a side drum.

So and so, Luo Yan will be sentenced to hard labor and guard the city for those who are involved in few cases and have joined for a short time.As for those key members, just like the son of the Marquis of Yanbian before, they were expelled from the army for at least two years, and more often three or four years. As for the fines, none of them were less than a thousand guan.

Amidst the low-pitched discussions among the people, the leader of the Chivalry Club, Liu Jiazi, finally ushered in.

Relying on the fact that his aunt is a concubine, the son of the Liu family has not repented until now, and stood there stubbornly.

Luo Yan smiled inexplicably: "Do you have a title?"

Liu Jiazi snorted coldly, but didn't answer.

"Then, do you have an official position?" Luo Yan asked again.

Liu Jiazi continued to stand silently, Luo Yan asked again: "Have you ever read and written rituals and music?"

Seeing that there was still no response, Luo Yan finally turned his face cold: "What do you servants do? This servant has neither a lord nor an official position, but he doesn't even understand etiquette. As a criminal, he actually let others Standing like this. Why, do you want to tell me that he is taller than me sitting?"

The severe reprimand made the guards tense, and someone immediately stepped forward to hold Liu Jiazi down, and kicked him in the groin, causing Liu Jiazi to kneel immediately in pain.

At this time, Luo Yan said: "The criminal must have the consciousness of the criminal. Do you think that this is your home and can let you run wild?"

"As the leader of the Chivalry Society, you have gathered noble children and frequently beat innocent passers-by. Your misdeeds are too numerous to record. Can you plead guilty?"

Liu Jiazi snorted coldly. Although he didn't speak, his expression was obviously dissatisfied.However, Luo Yan naturally has a way to make him obey the law.

"Bring the dossier from Dai Shaoqing's previous trial of this case, and bring the sufferers and witnesses of these cases one by one." Luo Yan sneered, turned his head and ordered to the little official who was standing there.

Not long after, the dossier has been brought.

Luo Yan held up the thick stack of papers and said to Liu Jiazi: "The last time Dai Shaoqing tried this case, you admitted all the guilt. I wonder if you have anything else to say?"

"Of course I want to say, it's all because you beat me to serious injuries, and in order to close the case and go home to recuperate as soon as possible, you have no choice but to confess. Now, I want to retract the confession." When Liu Jiazi said that he retracted the confession, he smiled proudly .

It seems that in this way, he can escape guilt.

Luo Yan smiled.The smile is very gentle.

"Oh, it's terrible to be uneducated. You think that you can get rid of this matter just by retracting your confession." Luo Yan stood up, walked to the hall, and said to the people watching outside: ""Zhenguan "Law" clearly stipulates, but there are testimonies from people who have nothing to do with the sufferer, which can be used as evidence for conviction. I really don't know, you suffered a lot a while ago, and you didn't ask these things clearly."

Although he was speaking to the crowd of onlookers, but Luo Yan said that Liu Jiazi's arrogance was a little less, and at the end of the speech, Liu Jiazi's body, which was still stiff, suddenly went limp.

He finally understood why Luo Yan had said earlier that he had brought the sufferer and the witness together, just to let him have nothing to say.

In less than two moments, the guards brought the first batch of sufferers. Although they looked at Liu Jiazi with some fear in their eyes, when Luo Yan asked, the sufferers and witnesses were not at all ambiguous, and immediately publicized Liu Jiazi's evil deeds.

After carrying five batches like this, Liu Jiazi's mentality finally collapsed, almost crying and shouting: "Stop it, you all stop it. I plead guilty, can't I plead guilty?" At that time, those identifications were equivalent to sharp blades of language, constantly hacking at his thinking.

Luo Yan waved his hand, signaling that the guards don't need to bring any more witnesses, and then nodded: "Since you pleaded guilty, it will be easy. Now that the facts are clear, then I will sentence you not to inherit the title, exile for five years, and you will not be exonerated unless you amnesty the world , fined thousands of pennies."

After Liu Jiazi finished listening, he immediately collapsed on the ground.

The onlookers' eyes were even more fixed.Even though the former lord's children had notable misdeeds, they were only sentenced to exile, and there was no such thing as not being exonerated at all.

You must know that an emperor may not necessarily be able to announce five amnesties throughout his life.Li Shimin had pardoned him twice, one time when he was enthroned and changed to the Yuan Dynasty, and the other time was when he experienced three years of hardship and had a great harvest in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

If you want to do it again, within five years, unless the crown prince Li Chengqian appoints the crown princess, and then gives birth to Lin'er, there will be a successor to the royal family.

However, I don't know when this will come.It is said that the prince's wedding is approaching, but Li Shimin has not mentioned this matter to the courtiers until now.

"Okay." I don't know who took the lead, but after Liu Jiazi signed and pledged, there was a burst of applause in front of the main hall of Dali Temple.

　It's New Year's Eve, and Enlightenment has gone out for a while, and there are two changes today, so forgive me for one.
