Chapter 10 Judgment is also judgment
"Ancient law? Hehe, do you want to talk to the court about the ancient law? If you want to talk about the ancient law, in the early Han Dynasty, there was a saying that 'people kill each other today, although they have been subdued by the law, and have private grudges, descendants repay each other, and then they are angry and deep, as for the destruction of corpses and karma, and commonly known as Haojian', how did the imperial court deal with it? 'If you have been ambushed and killed privately, although you have fled, you will all belong to the border! ’”
The person who spoke was Cao Ning, an official of the Criminal Division, who was proficient in the law, and it was said that he could recite a copy of "The Great Message" backwards. At this moment, the three major lawyers hired by the Song family are arguing with officials such as the Futai Yamen and the Guiyang Mansion's torture room and the Magistrate's Office.
Tan Xiaosheng, the second master of Yelang, smiled faintly, and proudly stepped forward and said: "You also said that although you have subdued the law and privately formed a grudge, you also said that you have been ambushed and killed by the official, please ask, Wei Ye killed the son of the Tian family, has he already subdued the law, or has he been officially punished?" ”
Zhao Jiayong, the third master of Yelang, stepped forward slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Ye has neither subdued the law nor been punished. He is still alive, he came to Tongren, he actually represented the Yang family, and accepted the 'lecture' of Lord Futai, Cao Si didn't say that he came to subdue the law. ”
Zhao Jiayong ranked third among the four major teachers of Yelang, but he was the oldest, if he was left in later generations, the social status of a barrister like him in a well-known province could be regarded as quite noble, but in this era, the lawyer was very unpopular with the court, although the lawyer was born as a scholar, but he was not treated by the scholars, so they were not only attached to the government, but also born against the government.
Zhao Da Lawyer has always had a calm temperament, this time he wants to fight a lawsuit, the opponent is Lord Futai, according to his temperament, he would not have been in the limelight, but this time he was invited to come forward by the "Xiao Xitian" Song family, not to mention how generous the Song family's remuneration is, and there is really such a glimmer of hope to win, once this lawsuit is won, his reputation is not limited to Guizhou. It's about being famous all over the world, so even Old Lawyer Zhao is gearing up and coming forward quickly.
Cao Si sneered: "Wei Ye has never subdued the law, that's because no one has sued this Futai Yamen, otherwise do you think Lord Futai will not accept it?" You have despised the king's law, and you have a grievance and do not complain to the Fu Ya. It's about raising private soldiers to take revenge, which is not in my Ming law. ”
"Accuse? Even if Lord Futai is willing to accept the complaint, but Miss Song has not yet married, and if she wants to file a lawsuit, it should be the Tian family's complaint. How did Miss Song show up? Miss Song is obviously not married yet, just for a marriage letter, she claims to be Tian Gongzi's wife, which is called a festival and should be vigorously praised.
Miss Song killed someone because of the 'festival', which is understandable. As far as I know, although our dynasty does not encourage private revenge, there is a precedent for forgiveness for those who kill people because of 'filial piety', 'moderation', 'loyalty', and 'righteousness'. ”
This time it was Na Liujia who was one of the four great masters, a Naxi who grew up in Guiyang City and received Han education. The temperament of conversation is no different from that of Han Confucianism, and he is also a famous lawyer who uses a pen as a knife and copper teeth and steel teeth.
Cao Si said reservedly: "Whether or not to forgive." That is a matter of decision-making by the presiding judge outside of the law. Now that Lord Futai does not pardon, he obviously thinks that this case is serious and has a bad impact, and the lawyer's words seem reasonable, but they are not enough evidence. ”
Tan Xiaosheng said sharply: "Reason and law." Sometimes it is together, sometimes it is divided, and it is not uniform. Because of this, the saints rule the world and are not bound by the law. There was a case twelve years ago. There is a boy named Sun Wen in Yuyao, Jiangnan, his father was killed by the clansmen when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was unprepared, and he was killed suddenly, and he was not pardoned.
Ho also, filial piety also! The father is the son, the husband is the wife, and now the Song girl avenges Tian Gongzi, who has a marriage contract, what is the difference between the case of Yuyao Sun Wen? Sun Wen can be pardoned, but Miss Song can't be pardoned? Lord Futai is iron-faced, aren't you afraid of breaking the Three Platforms and Five Constants? ”
When this big hat was sacrificed, the nature was serious, and the scribes of the criminal department, the officials of the government, and the people with experience rushed up and stretched their necks to theorize. Compared to a saliva lawsuit, Tan Xiaosheng, Zhao Jiayong, Na Liujia and others were afraid of who would come, and when they landed, their saliva flew with their gestures, their faces were the same as pig liver, and they regarded the Futai lobby as a place for shrews to scold the street.
In the second hall, Song Tianwang and Ye Futai, who were sitting on the left and right, were too gentle, they didn't say scolding, they didn't even say a word, the entire second hall was quiet, only the occasional slight sipping of tea.
"Hey! Lord Song cares for his daughter's thoughts, Ye understands it, and Ye also has sons and daughters. But the prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people! Ling Yuan kills people on the street, it's hard for Benfu to do it......"
Ye Mengxiong stroked his beard and said slowly, he couldn't tell that he was once a commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, guarding the northern frontier and making the enemy chieftains flee in fear.
"Now, thanks to the meritorious work of Woniuling Ye Tusi in educating the locality, many Tusi and heads in Tongren and Shiqian have written to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to set up a government and unify the judiciary. Otherwise, just hearing that Ling Yuan relied on a wealthy family and wantonly killed people, Long Yan would inevitably be furious, and at that time, I was afraid that Ben Fu would also be passive. ”
Song Yingming heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and immediately glanced at Ye Mengxiong with disdain. My daughter is in your hands, do you want to threaten me to hand over the judicial power of the Song family in Shuidong? It's a dream!
The most important rights of the Tusi: hereditary power, administrative power, tax power, conscription power, judicial power. Among them, the most commonly used, the most influential to the local people, is the administrative power, the right to tax and the judicial power, which is the basic right of the local officials to exercise their powers, without these three powers, the right to conscript cannot be implemented, and the hereditary power in hand is useless, what is the difference between such a hereditary official and the hereditary blacksmith and the hereditary jailer? It seems to be the Qihu people of the Central Plains.
Song Yingming took a breath slowly and said, "Yes, this matter is the little girl's recklessness and causing trouble to Lord Futai, Song is negligent in discipline, forgive sins, forgive sins!" ”
Speaking of this, Song Yingming sighed again and said: "In recent years, the Banzhou Yang clan has been on the verge of making trouble, constantly provoking trouble, relying on its strong soldiers and horses, and bullying other toasts. My Shuidong Song clan and Banzhou Yang clan are only separated by a Wujiang River, Yang Yinglong often starts the war, Song has to sit in Xiaoxitian for a long time, to deal with the ambitious Yang Yinglong, so that he neglects the education of his children, it is really ashamed. ”
Ye Mengxiong smiled faintly, Song Yingming is asking for credit, the person who curbs Yang Yinglong's expansion ambitions for the imperial court is him Song Yingming, the calm of the southwest border, he Song Yingming has an indispensable and important role, and it can be said that he has worked hard and made great achievements.
But so what? The Song family's territory is just south of Banshu. Even if it wasn't for the imperial court, would the Song family surrender to the Yang family and let Yang Yinglong's forces drive south? The Song family's boycott of the Yang family is for the Song family itself, Ye Mengxiong doesn't appreciate it, what he needs is for the Song family to hand over more power to the imperial court.
Ye Mengxiong coughed and said quietly: "The Banzhou Yang clan is unruly. often causes trouble, and Benfu is also aware of this. Why don't Ye ask the imperial court to set up a guard along the Wujiang River north of Xiaoxitian to protect the place, what does Lord Song think? ”
Song Yingming's face changed, and it was inconvenient for Ye Mengxiong to interfere in the administrative power nakedly, so he wanted to interfere in the judiciary in a roundabout way, but after he refused, this idea of military power came again. A military system that combines "guards and toasts". This has already been done in some places, mainly on major transportation routes and in areas where local officials are weak enough to resist the central government.
For example, Huxian County, as early as when it was still Huling'er and was managed by two small toasts, a patrol army was stationed in the local area. Because it is the main pass of the post road into Guizhou, and at the same time, the local local officials in Hulinger are small.
Once the imperial court is allowed to build up arms on his territory, it will be like maggots attached to the bones, and it will never be thrown away. And depending on these guards, there will inevitably be a large number of Han people living in it. Then they expanded into villages, towns, and cities, gradually invading and assimilating them.
Song Yingming immediately refused clearly, and said: "Thank you Lord Futai for your kindness, although Yang Yinglong has the intention of aggression, my Shuidong Song clan still has the power to resist." If the Heavenly Army is suddenly raised, it may make Yang Yinglong frightened. Once the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and makes any misdeeds, I am afraid that the smoke will spread, which is not the blessing of the people and the wish of the court. matter. Let's take a long-term view. ”
Ye Mengxiong sneered twice and said, "Lord Song, this is also the opinion of the old Cheng to seek the country, since you want to think from the long term, then think from the long term." Regarding the case of Ling Yuan's murder on the street, Ye wanted to be accommodating, but ...... Because the murderer is your daughter, the impact is far-reaching! ”
Ye Mengxiong sighed pitifully, his white eyebrows were slightly locked, as if he was really making up his mind for Song Yingming, Song Yingming stared at him, his gaze was as sharp as a snow sword: "The governor said so, but he can't be accommodating?" ”
"Yes...... I can......"
Ye Mengxiong said slowly: "Killing people pays for life, the great ceremony of the country." Ye thought hard about it, and then he thought of making some articles on the word 'festival', and only by making a fuss on this point could Ling Yuan be spared the death penalty. But ......"
Ye Mengxiong glanced at Song Yingming: "The capital crime can be avoided, but it cannot be acquitted, otherwise the majesty of the national law will not exist." ”
Song Yingming narrowed his eyes slightly: "Adult, how many years does the little girl have to be locked up in your prison?" When he said this, Song Yingming's voice was cold, and the cold was overwhelming.
The old god Ye Mengxiong is here, and he is not affected by Song Yingming's power at all: "You don't need to go to prison, you can still be accommodating if you kill someone for the sake of your family, so this death or immortality, crime or innocence, is actually negotiable, but after all, it is a human life, how can you get out of prison safely?" It is not difficult to release Ling Yuan, you must follow the law staff for sixty before she can be released! ”
Ye Mengxiong glanced at Song Yingming, and said in an accentuated tone: "Since the founding of our dynasty, there have been five cases of murder due to filial piety, all of which have been pardoned, but the pardoned criminals have all been punished with rods, and the rules cannot be changed, this is the greatest accommodation that Benfu can do for your Lord Song!" ”
When Song Yingming heard this, he suddenly rushed straight to Parkway, and his eyes became sharp.
Tortured with a cane, that is to take off his skirt and pants in public, and be beaten with a big stick, even if it is for the sake of his Song Tianwang's face, the torturer does not dare to exert force, just make a show, even the skin will not break, but that is the little princess of his Song family, who is tortured in public with bare buttocks? The first thing Song Xiaoyu did when he left the lobby was to commit suicide to apologize to his ancestors, and the Song family would become a laughing stock because of this!
Originally, the pardon of capital crimes was a cane punishment, for ordinary people, it was definitely a grace of heaven, and the chief judge was merciful, but the same way to deal with it was put on the little princess of the Song family, which was a more serious punishment than hanging to death.
Song Yingming slowly stood up and said word by word: "This is the accommodation that Ye Futai gave to the little girl in view of Song's thin face?" ”
Ye Mengxiong also stood up slowly, Song Yingming stood like a mountain, the momentum was terrifying, Ye Mengxiong stood up, majestic, vast as the sea, although it was not comparable to Song Yingming's fierceness, it was not even a little behind, and he did not lose the slightest advantage.
Ye Mengxiong smiled faintly: "Not bad! This is Ye's greatest accommodation, isn't Lord Song still satisfied? ”
Ye Mengxiong is not afraid, not afraid at all, will the Song family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, rebel for a daughter, even if she is the daughter of the patriarch? This is absolutely impossible, even if Song Ying is willing, he will be jointly vetoed by many elders of the entire Song family, and even depose this already crazy family master.
Don't say that the Ming Dynasty has been decided, that is, when Zhu Yuanzhang won the country and the world was unstable, Mrs. Xiangxiang, the head of the An family, was commanded by the Ming Dynasty to make Ma Ye provoke trouble, bare his back, whip his body, and the forty-eight soldiers and horses under Xiangxiang were in turmoil, and Xiangxiang did not dare to rebel because of the consequences.
After all, people like Yang Yinglong who are power-hungry and bold are a minority, Ye Mengxiong concluded that Song Yingming would not dare to rebel, and his daughter could not help it, so he dared to keep increasing the weight, so as to tear off a mouthful of meat from the Song family. But......
"Hahahaha......" Song Yingming laughed loudly, and shook the roof tiles: "In this way, then thank you Ye Futai!" Ye is waiting for you to be merciful and forgive the little girl! ”
Song Yingming flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, and when he walked to the door of the hall, Huo Ran stopped, looked back at Ye Mengxiong, and said loudly: "Song is going here, first resign from the position of the head of the family, and then go out by himself!" Since then, it has nothing to do with the Song family! ”
Ye Mengxiong, who had always been calm, suddenly changed color when he heard this, he thought about the breakdown of the negotiations, but he didn't expect Song Yingming to be so strong, who would not be born in the court, but he actually wanted to go out of the house and break off the relationship with the Song family in Shuidong, what did he want to do by doing this?
Song Yingming put down this sentence and immediately strode out, walking with a dragon and a tiger step, murderous. Ye Mengxiong's face was extremely solemn, the Song family did not have some blood, he must not give in, otherwise as soon as he met a fierce backlash, he would back down and be accommodating, how could he unify the forces in Guizhou, how to gather the major toasts under his banner, and then make a move on Yang Yinglong?
But he never thought that this Song Yingming would neither refuse to cede judicial power, nor allow the imperial court to establish a guard in Shuidong, but his sex was like fire. That's right, Song Yingming didn't dare to take the entire Song family on the road of rebellion for his daughter, but he could leave everything he had for his daughter.
Ye Futai only considered his side as the head of the clan, but ignored his side as a father. Now that the negotiations between the two have completely broken down, once the daughter of the Song family is really punished, it can be imagined how terrible Song Yingming will do, and Ye Futai will be difficult to ride a tiger.
"Someone!"
As soon as Ye Mengxiong raised his eyebrows and drank in a deep voice, the two big men in Tsing Yi who had turned from his own soldiers to his family members at the door immediately flashed into the door, and Ye Mengxiong shouted in a deep voice: "Quickly pass on the long lawsuit Ye Xiaotian to see me!" 100,000 urgent, no delay for a moment! ”
